<TITLE>23. Par 178-187</TITLE>L-178 Oh, yes, they saw the miracles. They saw the Word anointed. They eat the manna that come from Heaven. They enjoyed the blessings of the atonement. They saw the smitten Rock give Its water. They drank from It. They were personally acquainted with It. But when it come to breaking that Word... Don't you never forget that! When Jesus said, "I and My Father are one," didn't say there's three. Huh? When all these other great fundamentals of the Scripture...

L-179   A man come to me the other night to show me where I was wrong, or to talking about the trinity. I got thousands of good trinity friends. They're in that Babylon. I got a lot of Oneness friends in that Babylon, too. See? But what happened? He said, "It's terminology, Brother Branham. You believe in the trinity?"

L-180 I said, "Certainly." I said, "I'll take your word: terminology." I said, "How do you believe it?"
He said, "I believe in one God."
I say, "You do well." See?
He said, "I believe there's one God, and three persons in the Godhead."
I said, "Aren't you a--a student of BIOLA?"
He said, "Yes."

L-181 I said, "Sounds like it." I said, "That don't speak very good for your education." I said, "Three persons, and one God?" I said, "According to Webster, there, it has to be a personality before it can be a person. You believe in three gods, mister." You cannot be a person without being a personality, 'cause it takes a personality to make a person.

L-182 So they say... He said, "Well, Mr. Branham, you know, even the--the theologians can't explain it."

L-183 I said, "That's exactly right. The Word don't come to a theologian." Uh-huh. I said, "The Bible is all tied into the Revelation, 'Upon this rock I'll build My Church, and the gates of hell can't prevail against It.'" See? Amen, there you are. See? But then when it comes to those things... Oh, my!

L-184   Now we want to hurry and close right quick if we can. I've got to bypass some of these Scriptures and notes, see. Now, notice, they never was forgiven of what they did. What did they do? They enjoyed the blessings. Don't forget that. I'm going to repeat it again. They never was forgiven for it. Remember, this tape goes around the world. See? It's played in camps in Africa, India, all around the world; translated in different languages; and different camps, different places. The sin was never forgiven. What? They...

L-185 You say, "Well, bless God, I--I did this. I--I--I've did this. I've eat the Heavenly manna. I..."

L-186 Yeah, they did, too. And Jesus said, "They're, every one, dead." But when it come to the exact Message, where they shouldn't break that Covenant with another nation... God was a segregationalist and He segregated that people, and they wasn't supposed to have anything to do with any other, marry into anybody. And the real, genuine Church and Bride of Christ, is joined to Christ which is the Word. And you don't marry into any organization, any denomination. You stay exactly with Christ and that Word, as an individual. To do it is Eternal separation from God. I hope everybody gets that.

L-187   Now, in our text, it was near the Feast of the Passover; was going. It was a awful time. People were sleeping on the outside of the gates. Every passover did this. They was outside laying on the grounds. The inns was all full and everything. It was the passover. There was great expectations in there. The air was all filled. (Now, in about five more minutes I'll be out, Lord willing, or ten.) Everybody was all charged.
