Notice, but He said—He said, “Well, Brother Branham, if there was Divine healing was included in the atonement, it would be so killed till there wouldn’t even be any pain.” I said, “Is there temptation?” He said, “Yes.” I said, “Then there’s pain.” See? Temptation…“If the—if the atonement killed sin so bad, there’s no more temptation then. But it’s by faith you overcome your temptation. It’s by faith you overcome your pain. It’s in the atonement.” I said, “We won’t argue with that. I’ll ask you one thing: Is Divine healing in the Word?” And he said, “Yes.” He has to believe that, because Jesus said, “The things that I do…And whatsoever things you desire…(whether it’s Divine healing, what it is), when you pray, believe you receive it.” Said, “It’s in the Word, but it’s not in the atonement.” I said, “Then if it’s in the Word, it’s over the atonement.” “Oh,” he said, “Brother Branham, ridiculous.” And a great singer, and a great radio minister was standing there too, and this fellow was quite a character. And he said, “Why, Brother Branham,” said, “that’s ridiculous. You mean the Word is over the atonement?” I said, “Yes, sir. God’s got to keep His Word.” This guy said, “I’m just believe what God said’s the truth.” He said, “Why, no.”
