<TITLE>05. Par 21-29</TITLE>L-21 But remember, when Moses here, they didn't know whence he cometh. See? And now they... No wonder Jesus said to them, "You garnish the tombs of the prophets, and you are the one that put them in there." After their Message is gone! A Message goes through, the people see It, they make fun of It (the world does). And then after the messenger is finished and the Message is done, then they build a denomination upon the Message. And there they die, right there, never come to Life again.

L-22   Look just a moment, to some of you people, and especially I speak to you Catholic people. Do you realize, have you ever read the actual history, the history of the Roman Catholic church? How that on your martyrology, since Saint Augustine of Hippo, how many million innocent people that the church put to death! I forget, can't call the exact number, but it's up in the millions, since Saint Hippo of... Saint Augustine of Hip-... of Hippo, Africa, made it a declaration that it was absolutely the will of God to put anybody to death that protests the Roman Catholic church. Do you realize that in that, that Saint Patrick was never recognized till after his death, as a Roman Catholic? He protested the pope and all of his doings, and the Catholic church itself killed tens of thousands of his children. Did you know that the Catholic church burnt Joan of Arc, that little sainted woman, to the stake, for be-... said she was a witch. Two hundred years later, dug up the bodies of the priests, when they found out it was wrong, and cast them into the sea, without burying them in the sacred ground, to do penance.
Don't let the day pass over your head, and be foolish.

L-23   How them priests would like, tonight, to come forth, that condemned Jesus. The only thing, they never seen the prediction of that hour. If they... Jesus said, "Search the Scriptures, for in Them you think," or, rather, "claim that you have Eternal Life, and the Scriptures is what tell you Who I am," for that hour.

L-24 Notice, the Bible cannot fail. It's one thing It cannot do, the Word of God, fail, for It foretells Its Author's acts before He does it.

L-25   Now, there's one chance out of a thousand that a man might make a prediction that something another is going to happen, and it would happen. But then if he places where it's going to happen, that cuts him down to maybe one chance out of a ten thousand. If he says the day it's going to happen, that cuts it down, one chance out of about a million. And who it's going to happen to, that brings it down to billions of chances.

L-26 But this Bible tells you exactly who, when, where, and what to look for, and never has failed one time. Therefore, in a little discussion not long ago, with a priest of the Sacred Heart church up here; he said, "Mr. Branham, you're trying to argue a Bible." Said, "That's the history of the church."
I said, "It's not a history. It's God, Himself, in print."
He said, "God is in His church."

L-27 I said, "God is in the Word. And anything contrary to It, let it be a lie. For He said, 'Let My Word be true and every man's word a lie.'"
He said, "We're not to argue."

L-28 I said, "I never asked you to argue, but the Bible does say, 'Come, let us reason together.'"

L-29   It foretells the Author's doings before He does it. Therefore, telling that, then that puts every man and woman, at the Judgment Bar, without any excuse. If you take what the Methodist say about It, what the Baptist say about It, what the Catholic says, what the Pentecostal says, or any other church, you might find some disappointments at the Judgment. But if you'll just watch what the Bible says is going to happen, and when it happens, then you'll recognize what happens.
