You can't put God in possession of some
Information that He hasn't already got.
You don't need to tell the Lord what
that mans sins are: He knows that.
"All He asks of you and me is to get

him from the dead, whether he'd been

THAT prophecy has been fulfilled so
today In most of the churches and

Catholic or Protestant, that has not

an argument he is fool. and he is a
jackass of fool IL he does
And SO I tell you that have a con-
troversy with the church today, Cath

troversy is the laxity on the part of
the officials to apply the principles to
men who live in opposition to their
truth.
