What does the smitten Rock stand for, and what poured out of it?

Answer

John 3:16 is a perfect type of this Church today, for us. That’s the smitten Rock, Christ, God’s judgments.

Question

What should be done with a vision or a message that contradicts the Bible?

Answer

Now, the way that I have faith in God is first by His Word. And if any vision, or any person, would speak anything that was contrary to the Word, then don’t hear it. This is the fundamental foundation of all God has said to His Church. And every person’s faith must be built sovereignly upon the Bibl...

Question

What was the world made out of?

Answer

You got to get the man right in his heart first, before he can believe. He ain’t got nothing to believe on. He ain’t got nothing to believe with.

Aaron when he went into the holiest of holies once a year, he had to wear a certain kind of a garment, and he had to be anointed, and he had to take blood with him. Is that right?

Question

When Satan tempted Him, did Jesus use the power and gifts He had?

Answer

He’s one that doesn’t even have a prayer line. He just stands there with the Scriptures and explains It in such a way, till the people just have to see it. That’s all. And listen.

Even put it back in the ark, in the destruction of the world. There was the crow and the dove setting on the same roost. One was just as much bird as the other one was. Is that right?
