Sermon: Questions and Answers

§31

Where are the spirits now that went into the swine? Where are the spirits that went into that herd of swine that day when Jesus cast them out of the maniac?

Well, Brother Pat, to the best of my knowledge…Now, we’re starting off on demonology to start with. Now, demonology is a great thing. (Now, some of you watch the clock and don’t let me go too long on one question.) But those demon powers, those spirits was in a man called Legion first. Isn’t that right? And because his...

§112

Now, let’s see. Now the next one here says, What is meant by predestination before the world begin; where is it in the Bible? Predestination before the world begin.

All right, my precious friend, let us turn to Ephesians the 1st chapter just for one place. We won’t take too long on this one I don’t think, unless it doesn’t answer right. And let’s just start reading here at Ephesians the 1st chapter. Now, the first thing, I want to say this, that predestination is a bad word for a...

§139

You said that a person could live so close to God that he could not sin while here on this earth. Then explain First John 1:8 to 10.

Let’s see First John 1:8 to 10. If I had a little more time to look these…I had it, but I just didn’t take it, friends. I—I was trying to—to get out…Well, I’ll find John after a while.

§172

What likeness will we be in the resurrection?

As we were when we went down. Exactly, resurrection…Just—just think of this. This book falls to the floor, and I take this book, a different book, and replace it. That isn’t resurrection. Resurrection is “bring up the same one that went down.” Was Jesus resurrected? Did they know Him? Was He standing with them, the sam...

§173

Explain Hebrews 4 and 6 (Right quick now, we get this just real quick.) and compare it to Hebrews 10:26—Hebrews 6 and 4. (I beg your pardon, 6:4, and 10:26. Let’s see, 10:26; all right, I got them right here. See?) For it is impossible for those that were once enlightened, and have tasted…the heavenly gifts, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And having tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall…to renew themselves again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh,…and put him to an open shame.

That goes right ahead and tell what it…Now look. I had that the other night. How many was here when I explained that? All right, you know what it is then. See, it’s them borderline believers. How many read back in Deuteronomy 1 there, where the spies went right in there and tasted of the things from Canaan, which Cana...
