“God is a good God.” I’ve heard that so much till I get sick.

Now, we know that Satan’s gospel is a gospel of science and progress. He preached it in Eden, not God, Satan did, the science of progress. Science and progress is Satan’s gospel. Look where he’s led us to today with it, see.

97 Notice, he preached it in Eden to who? To Adam’s bride, and she fell for it. He deceived her into questioning one of God’s words. Let’s see what he might’ve said. He must have said, “It is not scientific to die in this holy church,” or,
“You will be schooled and educated not to believe in such unreasonable things as death. I don’t care if God’s Word did say it, it’s unreasonable.”


98 Oh, look at him today. “God is a good God. You’re in His holy church. Why, you cannot die!” But God said you would, and that settles it! See him today? “Oh, just belong to church. It ain’t what you do, or this, that, or the other. Just come to church and be a good member. Cutting your hair, that’s nonsense. And wearing shorts, and putting on paint, and going to dances, and a little beer once in a while won’t hurt you as long as you don’t indulge in it. Frankly, I wish you children would take it, so that they could learn whether they liked it or not.” There he is: the god of this age, this evil
age.
99 “God is a good God.” I’ve heard that so much till I get sick. God is also a God of justice. He ain’t an old doty grandpa that can be pushed around and His grandkids don’t have any sin; He’s a God of justice and holiness. He proved it in the garden of Eden by His first children. You cross that line of one of His words, you’re dead. Same thing applies today.
100 And notice. He preached that kind of a scientific, social, educated, progressive gospel to Eve, and Adam’s bride believed it. And he has succeeded in filling the so-called bride of Christ, the church of the second Adam, with the same arguments. That’s right. 

.......
 
142 Notice. The children of obedience and disobedience has nothing in common. The disobedient worship their God.
“Oh,” they say, “We believe the Bible.” Yes it’s a mixed tree, (see?); they add the world and knowledge to it, Satan’s
tree, mixed. See, she took from Satan’s tree, good and evil. “Oh, we believe the Word, sure, but not all of it.” Eve believed the Word too, but let Satan take his tree and pervert it a little bit. That’s what it is. “Whosoever shall add one word or take one word from it.” He’s still the same yesterday, today, and forever.
143 Notice. All right. This evil age is of darkness, yet belongs to church. Their god, they love him for it, the way he lets them do. They have no condemnation; nothing bothers them as long as they belong to the church. Balaam taught the church the same thing. “Let us unite; we’re all the same.” It was the last trick. God never forgave them for believing such a lie.
JOHN6:49
144 Remember, it was a unpardonable sin---three times in the Bible---for any persons to add one word of their own
interpretation to God’s Word after it’d been vindicated the truth: In the garden of Eden (right?).... In the garden of Eden
one word added caused death; when Balaam added the word that we’re all the same. God never did forgive Israel that.
Every one of them perished in the wilderness, except the three that God brought out. Jesus said, “They’re every one
dead.” That’s eternally separated. They’re all gone, never was forgiven. It’s a unpardonable sin, never forgiven them.
Oh my, flee it, children of the evening light.

People on the street watching him, there we prayed with him till he gave God his heart.

Yesterday standing.... I hope the little fellow don’t.... He won’t. I’d come with my wife, and Mrs. Woods, Brother Roy Roberson somewhere here, Brother Woods, we’d stopped on over here at this little Youngstown Shopping Center to get a package that Sister Woods had. And while we was standing there, a young fellow walked up and introduced himself, a stranger to me. Another young man walked up and said they were from either Alabama . . . I believe Georgia,
‘cause I asked them if they knowed our Brother Welch Evans. And we talked a few minutes. And when I went to leave, this young man looked at me. As the young other fellow and his little boy walked away, this young man looked at me; he  said, “Just one thing I want to say.”
 I said, “Are you a believer, are you a Christian?”
 Said, “No, sir!” He said....


42 I might not quote just the word he said here, but he might’ve been a little skeptic. I’d asked him about the things---the
Angel of the Lord appearing. And he said he had heard about it, but he never been to church before . . . this church. I said, “Do you believe it?”
 Said, “Yes, sir! He said, “I’ve been watching something.” Said, “People’s been telling me about these predictions and things, and I heard on a tape that you predicted how California would crack away like that.” And said, “When I saw that in the paper, then I believed it.” He said, “I’m coming today or tomorrow (that’s today) for my first time.”
 I said, “The Lord bless you, Son,” and started to shake his hand.
 He said, “But I want to say something to you, Sir.” He said, “I’m as lost as lost can be.” He said, “I’m like a coin in a  sandpile: lost!”
43 I said, “But you don’t have to stay that way; there’s Someone standing present now who can find you the minute that you’re ready to be found.”
 He said, “I’m ready!”
 I said, “Would you bow your head?”
 He said, “I’m not ashamed.” Not only that, but he got down on his knees there in that parking lot before all the people. People on the street watching him, there we prayed with him till he gave God his heart. He come up a sinner, went back a child of God. He walked up the side of the car dead and went back alive.
44 I said, “The pool will be open tomorrow.”
  There is a fountain filled with blood,
  Drawn from Immanuel’s veins;
  Where sinners plunge beneath the flood,
  Lose all their guilty stains;
 I said, “Rise and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, calling upon the name of the Lord. God will fill you with the Holy Spirit, and give to you these great things, and make you so you can see it.”

Mister, how can I strike you blind when you’re already blind?

Like a fellow said to me one time, said, “Now, if you believe the baptism of the Holy Ghost is right and you believe you’ve got it,” said, “now, you strike me blind.” That was a preacher said, “You strike me blind.” 
He said, “Paul struck a man blind one day.
140 I said, “Mister, how can I strike you blind when you’re already blind? How could I kill you when you’re already dead.”
He said, “Me, my eyes is twenty-twenty.”
I said, “Your physical part, but you’re still blind.”
“It’s impossible! The Bible don’t interpret things. We speak where the Bible speaks and silent where it’s silent.”
2KNG 6:14-19
141 I said, “All right, when Elijah was down at Dothan (see), there come up the whole Syrian army around, and the servant ran up, said, ‘Oh, my father,’ said, ‘my father,’ said, ‘theSyrians has surrounded us.’ Elijah rubbed his eyes, woke up,
and said, ‘There’s more with us than there is with them.’ He said, ‘I don’t see nobody.’ Said, ‘God open his eyes.’ Now, he was blind, and he looked around at that old prophet; and upon the mountains was full of angels, and chariots of fire, and horses of fire. And he walked out there, and the Bible said he smote them blind! Blind to what? To him. 

He walked out, said, ‘Are you looking for Elijah?’ ‘Yes, we’re looking for him.’ Said, ‘Come on, I’ll show you where he’s at.’
Elijah leading them to Elijah. Blind!” I said, “You know what I’m going to say to you? Just exactly what my Lord said to your father, get behind me!”
