<TITLE>21. Par 170-180</TITLE>L-170 And Satan said, "But you don't know nothing here. But you take a little taste of this here, and then you'll know; you'll be like God. See, He knows right and wrong; you don't. And if you'll just take a little taste of this." And she let him punch a hole in it, just one little hole.

L-171 Now you see why I say... You say, "Why don't you teach women, and so forth, how to receive gifts and things like that?"

L-172 I said, "How can you teach them algebra when they won't ever learn their ABC's?"
One little hole is all it took. He took the world's wisdom, and, when it did, it set death to the whole family, wanting to taste of wisdom.

L-173   Now look at the filter, and certainly it expressed her taste. Her taste was for the world; that's what she's got. That's what it is today. They love the world and the things of the world, with a form of godliness, but denying the Power thereof. See, Satan will let them speak in tongues; he'll let them shout; he'll let them have Divine healing services; he'll let them do all these kind of things.

L-174 He say, "Many will come to Me in that day, and, 'Lord, haven't I cast out devils, have not I done many things, done this?'" He'll say, "I didn't even know you, you worker of iniquity." When the Word was placed right before you and you still sucked that old filter of the world, see, shows the taste that was in the heart.

L-175   Doves cannot eat a carrion. They cannot eat it. They don't have any gall. A crow can eat the seed like a dove and can eat a carrion like a crow, see, because he's a hypocrite. But a dove is not built like any other bird, and that's why God represented Himself as a Dove descending from Heaven. See? It cannot--it cannot stand the stink of a carrion. It's not a vulture; the reason, it don't have any gall. It couldn't digest it. It would kill it, if it eat it.
And a dove never has to take a bath. A dove's body puts out oil from the inside, that keeps it clean. It's a life that's in the dove; it generates in it a oil that keeps the feathers clean. And so is a Christian; there's a Life within them that keeps them clean. It's filtered.

L-176 Oh, notice! Now look at he... at the filter, and certainly you can see the taste thereof, of what they're doing today.

L-177   Look at this modern church. Look at their filter. You can see what they love. See what they got. The love, what do they love? Miss Laodicea which is headed for God's Judgment. That's right. The love, the church love today is for Laodicea, a great organization, a great setup, a great, popular thing, fine-dressed people, highly cultured, full of wisdom, full of the devil, under the deceit of the church of Christ. There's only one word ought to be in there, "anti-Christ." For, everything that Christ taught, they're against practically everything; right, just enough so they can call themselves that.

L-178 Now if you are a thinking people tonight, here and out in the land where the Message is going, your desire will be a Bible taste, not a denominational taste, for you will be judged by the very Bible, the Word that I'm asking you to filter your soul through. And to reject one Word of It, and not let your soul pass through that one Word, you'll be turned down. "For man shall not live, breathe, by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

L-179 And It will be brought into you, predestinated. And when the Lord breathes upon you, His Spirit will quicken that Word to a reality, and you'll see that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Oh, my!

L-180   Leave the world's denomination, religious pack. Let it lay like that cigarette pack in the woods. Let it rot and decay. It's--it's a wrong filter. And take the Word, which is Christ, that gives, and reaches, and preserves the taste of Eternal Life, to everyone that will take It, Eternal Life.
