<TITLE>12. Par 88-96</TITLE>L-88 See? That's--that's just the way we got it. I preached, I believe in this church, once: Believers, Make-believers, and Unbelievers. Them three in the group, you--you have that everywhere. This is three in the group, too; seeing this state of the people has always been. We can go way back and prove, that's the state of the people always. They've always been in that kind of a condition.

L-89 Then seeing that it's always been that way, then it makes us prone to believe that God designed people to be that way. Why, He'll make His enemy to praise Him. Everything... Paul, writing, in Romans, 8th chapter, said, "Oh, foolish man. Can the--can the clay say to the potter, why makest my... me thus? Doesn't He have power to make one vessel to honour and another to dishonour?" What if He hadn't made no night? You'd never appreciate the sunshine. If it'd been all sunshine, you wouldn't know how to appreciate it. What if there'd been no sickness? You'd never know how to appreciate good health. What if there'd been no evil people? No evil women? A good woman wouldn't be honored. See? They wouldn't... Honor wouldn't belong to her, 'cause it's just all that way, it's just one flat thing. But it's a law of contrast.

L-90   God makes it thus: one to be so dishonorable, to show up the honorable one; one to be so far wrong, it shows up... If it wasn't, that would be the right thing. If there wasn't... There cannot be a bogus dollar until there is a real dollar. And then the bogus is... If it was just made a bogus to begin with, then it would be the real one. But it's--it's a copy. There cannot be... There cannot be sin until there's righteousness. Because righteousness is the--the right thing, and sin is the perversion of righteousness. In other words, a truth is a truth. A lie can't be a lie until there's a truth first; to pervert that truth into a lie. So all sin is nothing but righteousness perverted. Therefore, there is a system in the world.

L-91   Two systems; and one of them is the right system, and the other is a perverted system. And one of them is God's Word, which is right; and every man's word is a lie. And this denominational system we got today, forming a World Council of Churches to make a mark of the beast to emerge them together, is the wrong thing. And man are blindly walking into it.

L-92 God's done put the thing on earth for them to be delivered by. But they think it's a bunch of fanaticism. They don't want it. They turn it out. They think they've got to do something about it. They got to make their own system. God's got the system already here, His Word. But we don't want That. So we find ourselves today, just like they was then.

L-93   And now, seeing that people are designed to be that way... Notice, you say... I know I take a lot of time, but I don't want to keep watching that 'cause it makes me nervous. See?

L-94 Politics; now we take like... Let's just take for instance... to see if people's designed to be in three--three classes. Let's take politics. There's some that's red-hot for a man. And another group hates him. And another group don't know what to do about him; they don't know which, and it throws them into confusion.

L-95 This man said, "Oh, he's a great man. He--he'll make us the best President."
The other one said, "He's nothing but a renegade."

L-96 Then the in-between said, "Now I don't know what to do." See? See, we're designed that way. We're made up that way. That's the way human beings are. It had to be that way to fulfill God's great economy. And to make His achievement that He's going to achieve upon the earth, man had to be designed thus. One is right. The other one's wrong. And the other one's in between the two. It's always been that way.
