<TITLE>43. Par -</TITLE>L-985-286 And that's where it begin right there in Rome, and that's where the seat of the beast is, and from there come the old mother whore. And her daughters are harlots just exactly like she is, because she give the whole world a cup of her indignation--a cup of her testimony, which was mixed in there with the gall of the earth. And she had her testimony. She said, "I set as a virgin, and I--I set as a widow (I mean), and have need of nothing"; and she don't know that she's miserable, wretched, blind, poor, and don't know it. That's it. And that goes for the Catholic church plus every Protestant denomination. But in all of that whole mess out there, there's precious people who love the Lord God with all their heart, soul, and mind. And they think they are right. They think they're doing right. God will be the Supreme Judge.

L-986-287 To me, if God is going to judge the church by the world--the Catholic church says so--then I asked this man that I was interviewed by... He said, "God will judge the world by the church."
I said, "Which one?"
He said, "The Catholic church."
I said, "Which Catholic church? They different one from the other." Which church? The Greek Orthodox or the Roman? Or which one is He going to judge it by? If He's going to judge it by the Protestant church, which one? The Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran, Pentecostal; who's He going to judge it by? The Bible said He'll judge the world by Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is the Word. So to me, it's the Word of God that He'll judge the world by. That's right. And I believe His judgments are in the earth now, and I believe... Let us seek with all of our heart to escape the wrath of the damnation of the wrath of God that's going to be poured out upon this unbelieving world; and there's no way at all for to it--escape it.

L-986-289 There will never, never, never come salvation to the world any more. They have passed their line between grace and judgment. There's... You might put a Abraham Lincoln in every county in the United States, and it'll never turn this bunch of "Rickys" and "Elvises" back to God.
When you seen in the paper (I got it. Bring it to you this afternoon if you want to see it tonight.), where a Presbyterian church (many of you might've seen it)--a Presbyterian church going through the masses or through the--the--through the sacrament with rock-and-roll. The pastor standing there clapping his hands like that, and they were going through the motion of the crucifixion and all "a-shindigging it" as rock-and-roll in a Presbyterian church.
And when this lowdown, screaming, filthy bunch of Beatles, that's so called, that got below men and want to become beetles... They turned down a hundred thousand dollar contract in St. Louis a few weeks ago; wouldn't stop for that. Come over here, a bunch of little, renegade Englishmen there with the hair hanging down in their eyes... And now, they've got a religion of their own they're starting. You seen it in "Look" magazine. See?

L-987-302 Oh, how this world is contaminated. There's not a hope for it at all; they have crossed the dividing line between--between reason and common sense, let alone between salvation.
Man can't even judge. We don't have men no more like we used to have. Where is Patrick Henry? Where is Abraham Lincoln? men that can stand for solid convictions.
Where is that man can raise up and make these crazy women out here, stripping themselves off with--and out before these men; and then--and run them out there like a bunch of striptease, and then put the boy in penitentiary that'd insult one of them... Where is your reasons? What's common sense? If she puts herself out there, let her go like a dog. Yes, sir. If she's going to no more to... common decency for her than that... Where's the laws that could stop it?
