<TITLE>13. Par 116-124</TITLE>L-116 Could you imagine genuine Christians being that? They were rugged. They were burly. Could you imagine Saint Paul being that type of a Christian, could you imagine Saint Peter, "Being now--now, if you don't make me general overseer, well, I don't know, I might go join So-and-so"? They were rugged man. They were men of faith. They lived with God. They walked with God. They were men of few words. They served God, day and night, constantly. You didn't have to spray them and baby them, and offer them this, that, or the other. They were man, rugged! They were genuine seeds, not hybrid in denominations.

L-117   "If you, the Methodists don't treat me right, I'll go to the Baptists. The Baptists don't treat me right, I'll go to the Pentecostals. If they don't treat me right, I'll go back to the Catholics, or whatever more." See, they, it's a hybrid, have to keep them sprayed, "Yes, Doctor Reverend Brother So-and-so." That ain't Christianity.

L-118 Christianity asks--asks no titles, it asks no favors. It only knows God. It's original seed. It loves God, and loves one another. There is no spraying on them, and babying them, and patting them around, and saying, "Yes, well, this sister, well, I think it's all right for her to have short hair, and this one not." And--and. there is no such stuff as that, and let them get by with this. It's--it's rugged, it's the Gospel! Lay it out there, let it fall where it will. Christians love it.
Must I be carried Home, to Heaven,
On a flowery bed of ease,
While others fought to win the prize
And sailed through bloody seas?

L-119 Must I be patted on the back, and this, that, and the other, and babied? I expect my place out yonder with the rugged. I expect not to come up there with no trophy scars at all.
If I must fight, if I must reign, increase my courage, Lord!

L-120 See, let me stand like a Christian. Not to be a--a hybrid plant. Have to be babied and petted, and brought into something. You're not brought in anyhow, Christianity, you're borned in it. You become a new creature, you're a seed of God, that comes into the earth.

L-121   Now, now we find out that he sprayed this poison spray, and that spray was the spray of modern understanding, education, science, and civilization, the very things that we cherish so much. Did you ever stop to think that our great enemy, in the natural life today among the nations, is communism? What is the god of communism? Civilization, and education, science. That's right, isn't it? That's what they live on and thrive on, is science, scientific, sciences, a god of science. Now if you would just... and with the poison spray of this modern civilization, science and education.

L-122   Now let me prove to you that education and civilization come from the Devil. Now let us turn back here and see, if you want to, in Genesis, the 4th chapter. All right, now let's begin with the 16th verse of Genesis 4. Fourteen here or... Genesis 4, pardon me. Now notice Satan.

L-123 You people that follow these tapes, with our--our brother here, now you've heard me preach on the Serpent's Seed. And that cannot be denied. That was opened up in one of those Seven Seals. It was hid.

L-124   Now if children has come up under that kind, see, under that kind of teaching, that's what their parents was, they have the nature of their parents, their denominations, and so forth, they have to believe that. See, they believe that because they're borned under that parent. But today we're not borned under that parent; our Parent is the Word. And the Word... "Well," say, "I was borned under God, too." For that age. But this is the climax age, this is the age beyond those denominations.
