<TITLE>04. Par 26-30</TITLE>L-26   Now, it's a Sunday school lesson, we want to--to try to bring this to a real showdown, by the Scriptures, not by what someone else has said about it, but just reading the Scriptures.
You may say, "How can this be? Would the anointed ones..."

L-27 What were they? "Christs," C-h-r-i-s-t-s, anointed. "Christs, and false prophets." Anointed ones, but false prophets!
Jesus said, that, "The rain falls on the just and the unjust."

L-28 Now, someone might say to me, "Do you believe that that anointing on those people means that it's the anointing of the Holy Spirit?" Yes, sir, the genuine Holy Spirit of God upon a person, and yet they are false.
Now listen close and see what He said. "And they shall show signs and wonders, insomuch that it would deceive the very Elected if it were possible." And they are anointed with the genuine Holy Spirit. I know this sounds very foolish, but we're going to take time and explain it by the Word, that that's absolutely THUS SAITH THE LORD, the Truth.

L-29   Now let's turn in our Bibles, just a minute, to Matthew the 5th chapter, and begin with the--the 45th verse, and see now as we read for a few moments on these Scriptures. And then, after we get to here, why, we'll give you... So you, if we fail to read all of them, then you get your Bible; and--and also you can read them after we leave here and you go home, and--and you read what the Bible says about it.

L-30   Now to take our time, to get a--a basic fact, because I'm making a statement here that's astounding. How can the Holy Spirit anoint a false teacher? But that's what Jesus said would happen.
Now, Matthew, the 5th chapter, the 45th verse, let's read now. Let's get, begin a--a little behind it, the 44th.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you,... pray for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and... the good, and sendeth rain on the just and... the unjust. (The rain comes upon the evil the same as the good.)
