Episode 243: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 209

Episode Summary:

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. (Psalm 53:1-3)

13 I was speaking at a Kiwanis here not long ago, and there was one fine doctor… Several doctors were present, and they were asking me about mission life and so forth. And one fine doctor, nice man seemingly, but he just couldn’t believe that—of the virgin birth, and he just said he couldn’t believe there was God.

And I said, “I never want you to put a operating knife on me. I’d be afraid to trust you, doctor, if you didn’t believe in God.” And so… Another specialist was standing by my side which was a staunch believer.

And he said, “Well, I think anything that isn’t scientifically proven is not real, Mr. Branham.” He said, “I believe in science.”

I said, “So do I. I believe you can climb up the tree of science until you get to the end of it. Then you step over on the tree of faith and just keep on climbing,” I said, “because it’s a… I believe in climbing up the tree.”

He said, “Well, anything that cannot be scientifically proven isn’t a reality.”

“Oh,” I said, “Doctor, that’s an awful statement for you to make.”

And he said, “Why is that?”

I said, “I’ll take the vice versa. Anything that can be scientifically proven is not a reality.”

“Oh,” he said, “you talk, Brother Branham, like you were disturbed.”

“Well,” I said, “when you say there isn’t any God, you talk like you’re delinquent. So—so ‘The fool said in his heart there’s no God.” So we got to talking real plain to each other, and I said, “Now, look, doctor. Are you a married man?”

He said, “I am.”

I said, “Do you love your wife?”

He said, “If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have married her.”

“Do you have children?”

“Yes.” said, “Then what is the difference of the love that you have for your wife than you would for any other woman?”

“Oh,” he said, “because she’s my wife, and my children—mother of my children.”

I said, “That’s right.” See, I caught him right in his own trick then. I said, “What was that you said? You loved her?”

He said, “Yes.”

I said, “How do you know you love her?”

He said, “Well, of course, I know I love her.”

I said, “All right then, what is love? Scientifically show me. Let’s go down to the drugstore, and you inject me a pound of it inside of my veins. I need it.”

14 Then according to him there is no such a thing as love ’cause you can’t scientifically prove what’s in you that’s love. The whole Christian armor is faith, unseen. See? What is the Christian armor? Love, joy, peace, faith, longsuffering, meekness, gentleness, patience, Holy Spirit, God, Angels. It’s all supernatural. And everything natural come from the earth and will return back to the earth. It’s just the supernatural things that live; it’s eternal.
