<TITLE>09. Par -</TITLE>L-931-46 Now, ministers, I know this is going to tear in, but I'm answering questions; and I want--I want you to understand that (See?) I just--was just telling you the truth from my heart; Christ before me the best of my knowledge. See? It's all systems, and those systems has wound people up like... People go join the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostals, Catholic; and they think they're approaching God when they're just going through a system. God honors it sometimes and takes their--their diseases away from them through idols. Well, right in the Hottentots of Africa they get healing with idols and so forth (See?), but they think they're approaching God.
You think a Catholic nun goes and joins the--the Catholic nunnery because she wants to be a bad woman? She joins that nunnery because she wants to be a good woman. A man don't go join the Catholic church just to be a bad man; he goes there to join it to be a good man. You don't... Say, "Well, what is it?" Neither does those--neither does the Indian in India, or the Hindu join Hinduism to be a bad person.

L-931-48 When I went into the temple of the--of the Jains, where I was interviewed there by that priest--like a pope setting upon a big pillow, his feet wound up under him, holding his toes--with such eye sight that he wrote a comparison of Scripture of the 23rd Psalm with his naked eye on a piece of steel that was less than a--not much more than a quarter of an inch. Now, and it's beyond any human reasoning to write it, and he engraved it on there with his natural eye; and he was a man forty years old or better. See?
Why sure, you--you just stay around here, just hear about Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian; you ought to go out and get into the mission fields one time: get things to open your eyes. See?

L-932-50 Now, you think that all them sisters setting there; they won't even--they won't cook; they won't eat; they have to beg everything that they get. They won't--they make little mops with their hands to mop the ants and things off the street, because they believe in reincarnation; they might be stepping on their relation. Wouldn't step on ants, kill flies, nothing; wouldn't even sterilize the knife to operate on a finger. Let the man die, because they kill a germ; it might be their--some of their relation returning back. See? You keep getting better, and better, and better; finally, you become a human being, a better human being, and on and on like, till you become a god. Just on, and on, and on, rotating, getting better and better.
Now, they don't do that to be bad people. They do that with sincerity, but you see, "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man." There's only one thing, people, that I know to tell you as--as a class this morning on these questions, is the Word, the Word of God. Then you believe that Jesus Christ is that Word, and that Word is made flesh now among us, fulfilling exactly what He said He would do in this age. All right.
Now, that's how you'll know them, not by their church, not by their creed, not by their sign, not by their denominations, not by any healing, not by anything, but by the Word. See?

L-932-Q-238 238. Matthew 24:26 (next) speaks of a "certain chamber" and "in the desert places." What does this mean?
It means there will be antichrists, anti-anointings, so forth. And what is anti-? "Anti-" is "against." It'll be these same creatures against the Word. And they'll be in the desert, in the secret chambers, and they said, "Don't go after it; stay away from it." See?
