SOLID ROCK

SDA CHURCH, NY.

In this Church I had asked several questions. The last question was "Is it a sin to look sexually attractive, feel sexually attractive?"

(Please notice the Alphabets in the text. See what they are showing at the ending of the paper.)

Now, the last question. I appreciate you staying and hanging around until we got this far, because from here on, your modesty might be shocked. I want to talk about some symbols now, that answer the last question. My last question was "Is it a sin for a woman to look and feel sexually attractive". After today, True or False, I want you to judge, after I finish what I'm going to tell you now. I am very careful now, when I present this. I know that somebody has a different idea. I want to draw some symbols on the board to see if you recognize them. Here goes one. A. Can everybody see that? Does everybody recognize it? How many of you know what this symbol means? Every time you see it you say, "Oh, Yes, that's where we can get a prescription filled." You go over there and you get the different mixture. You know that there is a doctor in there that deals with prescriptions. But, now that's all we know. What I'm doing now, is showing that there are things that exist now that still carry the meaning all the way back from the days of Israel; all the way back from David, Isaac; all the way from that time. This is a symbol, ladies and gentlemen, this is a symbol given to us by Hippocrates. It is a prayer to the god Jupiter that whoever takes this medicine will get well. This is the first letter of Jupiter's name. If you look in your horoscope you will find that this is a symbol for Jupiter. When you connect the symbols together, they form a prayer to the god Jupiter. Even to day. Hippocrates is known as the Father of Medicine and you use him as the answer of his prayer. And so, when you come to the Corinthians where somebody is complaining to Paul," lets not eat anything that is offered to idols^".1,2,3.``. You remember that? And Paul said, go on and take it, for the Lord fixed it for us? Well, you are now taking medicine offered to Idols.

How many of you understand what we are saying. Here let me draw another thing on the board. Make sure you get what I'm writing now! I just want to do a couple or three of them, now. My hobby is studying signs and symbols, and finding out what they mean today.

And here is one that I am going to draw on the board. B. Can everybody see that? What does that represent? If you read over in Psalms, you will find a verse that says: "Blessed is the man with children, and has his quiver full." Do you know what a quiver is? A quiver is a thing that carries arrows and you shoot it. And the Bible says they represent children (Ps. 127). Now if you see Cupid, and he is reaching back to the ("quiver") male principle and putting out an arrow and shoots it at something. What do you think he is shooting at? (A heart!) He is not shooting it at a heart if that is a male "principle" and he is Cupid (Some one said, 'female principle')^4,5,6. ```. Exactly! An open female "principle"! Oh! Oh! How many of you are reading between my lines? Here, to us, it represents "Love"! But what it actually is, is the female principle, and it is still used today! Oh! Oh!

Let me give you another symbol. C. Here, this one, ladies and gentlemen, you possibly haven't seen before, but this, right here, is the "closed female principle" through which Jesus was born. That's the reason why, when you see it, you call it a fish---Pisces.^7,8,9,10.```

Things still exist with the same connotation that happened way back there, in those days-back yonder. How many of you understand what we are saying? I'm bringing you up to date as to what's happening, so that when I tell you this last thing, you should know everything that happened. I could keep drawing things and explaining things. D. This, many of you have seen that before. It is called the ankh or the ansate cross. This, ladies and gentlemen, represents the female principle. This represents the male principle. It is at this point that every body calls this "the Key of Life". And it is! It was represented in Egypt and many of those nations round about. This is called "the Key of Life" because this is an open female principle and this is the male principle. ^{11,12,13,14,15.} E. That's the reason why when Jesus was crucified, according to the artist, on this particular cross, because it represented

Love  Consummated!

Does everyone understand what we're saying? There is a lot of symbolism that's mixed up with Baal worship that you have to know about, so that you won't be involved with it.   As they were coming out of Egypt, they brought with them some of the gods of the Egyptians. F. One of those gods that they picked up from the nations round about Egypt, was the circle. The circle represented eternity. If it was made of gold, it represented the sun. If it was made of silver, it represented the moon. ^16,17,18,19.

Now, what I'm getting ready to say now, I don't want you to get all up in the air about it. All I want you to do is to try to do all that is necessary. Don't worry about G.C., because Sis. White has given me one "out" . Sis. White says that if something does not prick your conscience, you can continue to do so, and that is wearing the wedding band. If it is made of gold, it represents the worship of the creative power of the sun by the union of the sexes. It is the graven image against which the Ten Commandments were written! The wedding band. Somebody is not hearing me. The engagement ring is a prayer to the moon god that the fruit of her womb would be blessed. The ring that you put on your finger, made of silver represents the prayer to the moon goddess, that the fruit of her womb would be happy, bringing forth a child. Folk, you understand where it came from. You understand what I'm saying? You see, this, the golden sun represents the generative power of the sun, and your Bible says, "don't make any thing that's in the heaven above" that was made specifically for worship. Made specifically for worship. Don't put it on, don't serve it, don't bow down, don't have anything-- because look at it: if you were married to somebody, they wouldn't want you to put on somebody else's wedding band. The Lord said if you want to worship "Me" for "My" Creativeness, keep the Sabbath. Don't wear the ring, because the ring represents the creative power of another god, and if you wear the creative power of another god, I am going to be jealous.

EXODUS 20:3-4

How many of you understand what I'm saying? Many of you have never heard it like that before! Never heard it! And I'm usually saying, I join my young people. If you can't tell me a good reason why I can't do "something", you may as well not tell me "anything". How many of you understand here, what I'm saying?

I've got to talk about the lipstick, red finger nail polish.^20,21,22   G. This is a circle . When I put it on, it represents the union of male and female. A bracelet, when I put it on it represents the union of male and female. Just as the ring. The watch? It was not made as an idol. How many understand what I'm saying? It was not created to be worshipped. It had a purpose for it. But let me add something. Even with that, the thing that you put on that was a circle, well, I'm not going to call a belt the same thing, because that's an article of clothing, but anything that you put on, that has a circle over you, means that you have intercourse with that. For instance, when Daniel was being promoted in his office, they put on him the things of his office, to let everybody know that he was intimate with that office. How many of you understand what we are saying?

When the Prodigal Son came back home, he was put on all the family utilities to let you know that he was back in intercourse with the family. But now, if it was made of gold, it represented the sun; if it’s made of silver, it represented the moon. When you put on lipstick, red fingernail polish, ear-bobs, you are accenting the erotic zone. Anybody hear me? They came from the worship of Baal. Because this, with your tongues through their lips represents the union of male and female. Today! If you don't believe that, walk down the streets where you see those nice young ladies and they have their tongues through their lips and they identify themselves by that very mark. If you want to see a member of God's Family, and be attracted to Him, wait for the Lord.

Here's a nice young man that wants to be married. Here's a nice young woman in the church, who wears lipstick, ear-bobs and everything! What do you think its going to be--is he going to accept her as some body he wants to be married to, when she is already disobeying God's rule? If she disobeys God's rule, she's not going to pay any attention to his. So now, if you want to be sexually attractive, Try God first. OK?

How many of you appreciate being here with me tonight? I appreciate being here with you. If I have stepped on your toe, and you have been "doing things" (wearing bracelets, ear-bobs, lipstick, etc.), please forgive me. But if on the other hand, and I have not stepped on your toe, and you are still "doing things",

I want to beg God's pardon.

Thank you.
