<TITLE>20. Par 186-195</TITLE>L-186 That's the same thing Cain had on his mind, their daddy, at the beginning, offered flowers and fruits of the land. When, God wanted sacrifice, the man with the revelation of God! It was blood; not a pear, or a peach, or a plum, or whatever it was, or an apricot, as they say now. It was the blood that brought us out of the garden of Eden, a--a degraded blood, a woman that let the seed of the wrong person be planted into the womb and start it.

L-187   Now we find, to prove the Message is just timely, what I'm speaking to you about, to prove it, look about days of hybreeding today, trying to make a prettier specie. Look at hybreeding. Look in the plant life. Here last summer...

L-188 It was this summer, it was, I had a little old wild flower; he was showing me out there a few minutes ago, it come on my mind. A little wild flower I had in the bed here, I had to water that thing twice a day, to keep it alive. It was a hybrid. But it originated from another little yellow flower, which was put together with something else, to make this flower.

L-189 And that little guy stood out there, when, you could dig ten feet in the ground and couldn't find even enough moisture to spit. See, it was--it was--it was just living in the dust, and it was just as pretty, and it didn't have to be watered. It was the original. It wasn't hybrid. There was nothing mixed to it, it was genuine flower.

L-190 And this was something mixed with it, have to water it and pet it, and baby it. See? This you didn't; no bugs got on it. We have to spray it, and everything else, to keep them; and the flies and gnats and things, them off like that. If you don't, it'd kill them.
You don't have, a gnat wouldn't come near him!

L-191   Oh, that's a real, genuine, born-again Christian. You could tempt him with anything you want to. He is still a Christian. Tempt her wherever you want to be, she is still a Christian.

L-192 A little lady from one of the brothers here, some of your people, their church wrote me a letter the other day. Said, "Daddy don't want me to go to a baseball... or a basketball game, Brother Branham. We believe..." She said, was twelve years old, said, "Brother Branham, we believe you have the Word of the Lord, in what you tell us now." Said, "I kind of think daddy is wrong. But," said, "what you say, I'm going to believe." Now, that sweet little girl, see.

L-193 So I thought. "Well," I said, "honey, look if you are a Christian, you're a Christian anywhere. No matter where you're at, you're still a Christian. But," I said, "you see, on the basketball floor, what daddy is thinking about, you hear them kids swearing and carrying on like that. I still believe you'd be a Christian. But, you see, daddy is more advanced in life than you are. See?" Now, I said, "Now you are twelve years old, and you said you had a little sister, four. Now she wants you to cut paper dolls. 'Oh, go on, I ain't got no time to cut paper dolls.' See, you are farther advanced than little sister."

L-194 Now that's where the church ought to be today, further advanced in the Word of God. Not Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostals, Presbyterian; but advanced in the Word, to sons and daughters of God. Uh! All right. All right. The Message being timely, proved.

L-195   By science, by his science and research, you see, they have tried to pervert everything, make a different seed, make a different something, make it prettier.
