<TITLE>07. Par 50-57</TITLE>L-50   Now, we find today that this discrepancy has been sowed through every age. If it was possible to get it in the next ten or fifteen minutes, I would do it, but you can't. Down through the ages... We are all, most all of us read the Bible. And now like when Jesus come, and He found that discrepancy, contrary. He was the Word made manifest, He was God's interpretation of the Word, because He said, "Search the Scriptures, for in Them you think you have Eternal Life, and they are they that testify of Me." There you are. He--He was the interpretation of the Word. And every borned-again son and daughter of God of this age is the interpretation of the Word. You are written epistles, read of all men. Yes.

L-51 Notice, He said, "In vain they do worship Me, teaching discrepancy for Doctrine. In vain do they worship Me, teaching for Doctrine the discrepancy, doctrine of man, creeds of man, teaching that to be the Word of God, when it has nothing to do with the Word of God."

L-52   Look, each age produce such a crop, every age has did it, and ours is no excuse. We have the same thing, and a greater age of it than all the other ages put together, for this is the ending of world's history. This is the great discrepancy that's ever been upon the earth, is on the face of the earth today. Discrepancy in other ages pulled them away from the true and living God, to idols. Today, Jesus said in Matthew 24:24 that it would be so close till it would deceive the very Elected if it was possible. Talk about discrepancy! Oh, it's so cunning. Satan is among the people, and just such a theologian, such a Doctor of Divinity, can teach that Word almost perfectly. Jesus said so. But just watch him, there'll be somewhere. Said, "Well, now, that wasn't for this." Oh, yes, it is, too, see, because God said it was.

L-53   Look what it did. Them same discrepancy brought God's wrath upon the days of Noah, when God sent His prophet out and preached as a flaming fire, called repentance to the people, and the discrepancy drowned out. Then what did Satan do? Come right behind, in Ham, and started sowing it again. That's exactly right.

L-54 Along come Moses, the great prophet, to bring the children of Israel up out of the wilderness. What happened? Moses, the great prophet of God, bringing them the absolutely Truth, vindicated Truth. He had met God. God proved that he had met Him. And how those people back there, those priests, and they had their religions, their rituals, their rites and everything, but Moses stood as a vindication of the interpretation of the Word. Don't forget that! Moses was God's interpretation of His promise. He said he would do it; he was God's interpretation.

L-55   What happened? The church just got started out of Egypt, on its feet a few days, and what happened? Satan come along with his discrepancy in the person, the second Cain, which was Balaam, and he sowed discrepancy amongst them. We know that's right. That Balaam, the teaching of Balaam, that "we're all the same, we serve the same God you do," fundamentally, he was right, because he offered a sacrifice that God offered; seven rams, seven bullocks on seven altars, and prayed to the same God just as perfect as Moses did down in the wilderness, just exactly the same. But they were not the same! Foreshadowing to us what would come to pass. There was, again, Cain manifested in the--the person of Balaam. And there was God manifested in the person of Moses, interpreting His Words through a human being, making Hisself known, His promise, through a human being. And the discrepancy raised up.

L-56 So did it do it in the time of Judas, there he come with his discrepancy.

L-57   And, remember, this sin that those people believed, that "we're all the same, we worship the same God, we should all belong to the same church, we should be the same people," that sin was never forgiven Israel! Jesus said, Himself, "They all are dead!"
