<TITLE>18. Par -</TITLE>1L-171-Q-413 413. Brother Branham, is it wrong to grow--to grow and work in tobacco? I don't believe I got that.
Now, I'm against tobacco. I'm against the use of tobacco; any borned again Christian will be; that's all, because it's wrong. We know that even the medical science say that's what starts most of throat and--and lung cancer is--is tobacco. They say, "Smoke filtered cigarettes."
Now, to you men and women who smoke, that's just deceiving you, 'cause you cannot... Well, the only thing that they do... When you buy filtered cigarettes, you have to buy more of them, because it just lets a certain percent of the smoke through. Because anybody will tell you...

1L-172-127 I heard that lecture at the World's Fair up in Washington last year (when I was out there at the World's Fair), and them doctors from all over the world there explained it; said that you cannot have smoke without tar, and you can't... And if you got smoke you got tar. And said, "Don't let no man deceive you on filtered cigarettes, for where you'd smoke one or the other that would satisfy the longing that you have for cigarettes, you'll smoke two or three of the other." It's only a--a public gag, a publicity gag on radio and television.

1L-172-128 But to work in tobacco or grow tobacco. Now, you Kentucky brethren that grows this tobacco... Well, let me say one thing: If it condemns you to do it, don't you do it, 'cause I wouldn't want to make anything that would--that I know was supporting somebody else to their death. It's wrong to give a neighbor a strong drink, then it'd be wrong to make a strong drink. But let me say something else now. Now, as far as growing it...
Tobacco, you know, nicotine is also used in medical terms. And did you know you grow corn that makes whiskey, wheat and barley that makes whiskey? That right? All right. See? You don't know what they're going to use it for.

1L-172-130 But now, we grow corn, that we can think when we're growing corn, that it might make corn flakes, and food for the people, corn bread, and so forth; but they also make intoxication drinks out of it (See?), so you wouldn't know what to do.
And you grow--you have a lily garden. You know what they do with the lily? They make opium out of it. You know what they do with the lettuce? They do the same thing. Opium also is in lettuce. Did you ever eat a bunch of lettuce and see how quiet you feel for a little bit? It's the opium in it. Do you know it's also in onions? Sure. So, you--you see, it depends on what you're doing it for.
But let me say this, as a Christian brother to a Christian brother: If you have a tobacco base, sell it to somebody else and take the chance on the corn. I believe it would be better (See?), because no doubt what they're growing that...
My husband was married to an alcoholic and an adulterer...
I got that. Come from... I told you where it was from. It's from away from here. And I got that question. And now, let's see.
The woman of Revelations 12...
I got that one. Yeah, I got this bunch of questions. Let's see. That's got; I gotten them. It's on Revelations 12, what she was. Let's see.

1L-173-Q-414 414. Brother Branham, we have two children that go to church that is controlled by a woman preacher. We know she's off the Word. Our children are under this strong influence. How should we go about telling them this is error?
I told you before. I answered that. And handle it gently. What would you say if I... I know that person's setting here. What do you say if I believe I know who the woman is and can tell you?
