<TITLE>21. Par -</TITLE>L-950-136 Don't hurt feelings now; I'm just answering questions. You ask me from your heart; I'm telling you from my heart. If you find the solution, I--please come tell me, I'll sure do it, if I can do anything about it.
Like somebody said the other day, he said, "Well, I tell you, Brother Branham," said, "I tell you what Adam and Eve..." Said, "It was just exactly; they had a apple." I noticed they changed that now; they said they had a what? I believe it was called a something? [Man in congregation replies, "Apricot"--Ed.] Apricot, yeah, it was a apricot they eat. Well, it's time to pass the apricots again if it makes them realize they were naked. See? Uh-huh.

L-950-Q-245 245. Brother Branham, I have accepted God's Message of today, and also our son. And we both have been baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. My husband--my husband hasn't accepted the Message and is fighting this Message. And he has influenced our son and is taking him to a Methodist church. He wants me to go with him to church when we are not in service here at the Tabernacle. Would it be right for me to go with him or would it be better to stay out of that denomination?
Well now, dear sister... She never signed no name, but perhaps you're listening to your question; if you don't, you'll hear it on tape. Go with your husband, but don't be partakers of--of what they're doing. See, you're supposed to love your husband, and love is what does it. You just be real salty; he'll get thirsty if there's anything in him.
Don't join their denomination. You said, "Stay away from that denomination." Don't join it; go to it. If you can't get a whole loaf, get a half; can't get a half, just get a slice. See, see? But that's the way you'll win your husband by doing that. Don't be arrogant, then he'll know he's got just as much as you have. See? But when you can show something that you have that he don't have, that'll make him thirst to be like you. The sanctified wife sanctifies the husband.
That was just an advice. So I--I could spend a long time on that, but we just want to get through as many as we can, 'cause I see I only got about twenty-two minutes then. All right.

L-950-Q-246 246. Brother Branham, I believe the Message you teach with all my heart. It thrills my soul; however, my wife and son do not rejoice in the Word. They do not desire to separate themselves from some of their worldly habits. You said that we should claim our--claim our families. I find that difficult to do, seeming that they do not live for the Word or in the Word. What is my course, sir? Do I claim them and believe, or do I pray, "Father, Thy will be done," and be content in the state I find myself in? I would appreciate your guidance, Brother Branham.
God bless you, my brother or sister, whoever you may be. I--I would just commit them to the Lord. I... See, because, "What all the Father has given Me will come to Me." See? Now, the only thing for you people to do...

L-951-142 It made my heart swell with joy the other day going up and down seeing these motel men. The... I went down to Mr. Becker. He said, "Billy, you know what? I feed your whole congregation every Sunday"--when the Blue Boar feeds three hundred nearly every Sunday. See? And I went out here and this guy over here, this gentleman over here at the--the Ranch House, very fine man...
I met him; he said--I--I said, "Well, that was really fine." I said, "I appreciate you keeping all that stuff away from out there--all that carrying on out there."
He said, "Yes, sir, Brother Branham."
I said, "How'd he know me?" See? I said, "How'd you know me?"
He said, "I know you," Said, "I feed your whole congregation here every Sunday by the... Well," he said, "and I want to tell you something: they're fine people. They're fine people."
Now see, that made me feel good. You my children. See? When I hear my children acting nice and being nice, that makes papa feel real good. See? So you understand.
