God's Provided Way

§21
Does calling someone a righteous man mean he was a man without sin?

Now, a righteous man is not a sinless man. For you notice, he said, “Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are.” He had his ups and downs and his differences. And the Scripture of his life proves that he had his ups and downs like we do. And he had his times of wondering and his times that his temper got away...

§28
What did God give man the five senses for?

Now, God put man first in His Own image, which was in the image of God. And God is a Supernatural Being; he was a supernatural man. And then He put him in five senses, and none of those five senses declare his Heavenly home. Those five senses declare his earthly home. And God give him five senses to contact his earthly...

§30
Can a person come to know God through education or scientific research?

There’s no way at all of doing it. A—a leopard could lick his spots just as hard as he could; you could scrub him with sal so...

§111
Does the country need more seminaries and more preachers?

What we need is an old-fashion stirring again, where, old-time John Wesley revival, where they stood and preach all night long, and the power of the Holy Ghost falling over the audience. That’s what we need again. Amen. I kind of feel religious right now. So listen, friend, let me tell you something. When I think about...

§153
Is lying or stealing itself sin, or is sin something else?

Now, sin is not just moral habits you know. Some things, a lot of them say, “Well, this man smokes, that’s a sin.” No, it ain’t. It ain’t a smoke…for him to lie. It ain’t—it ain’t no sin for him to lie, for him to steal. That’s not sin. That’s the attributes of sin. That…he does that because he’s a sinner. If he wasn’t...
