:04:00
- Hints that I misused collection money.
- I never said that.
:04:03
Did I ever preach anything
but God's word? Well? Did I?
:04:07
- Are you ordained?
- What?
:04:10
Do you hold a degree from any
recognised theological seminary?
:04:13
- Does Gantry?
- No.
:04:16
Are you sanctioned
to preach by any church?
:04:20
No, Mr Lefferts, but... neither was Peter
or Paul or any of the other apostles.
:04:24
Ah, but they said that they lived with
the Son of God, were taught by him,
:04:28
were sanctified by him.
:04:31
What gives you
the right to speak for God?
:04:38
I couldn't possibly be doing
God's work without his approval.
:04:42
How did you get his approval?
:04:46
Did God speak to you personally?
:04:51
Did he send you a letter?
:04:54
Did you have a visitation from God?
:04:56
A burning bush, perhaps?
:05:00
Where in the New Testament does it say
that God spoke to anyone except his son?
:05:08
But it does say in the First Corinthians
:05:11
"Let your women
keep silence in the churches."
:05:14
"It is a shame for women
to speak in the church."
:05:17
Congratulations, Jim boy. I see you're
a student of the Bible. I'm delighted.
:05:21
What is it? Are you responsible for some
of these crackpot calls I've been getting?
:05:26
- You want Mr Lefferts fired, too?
- Fired?
:05:29
Why, I'd give Jim a bonus
for boostin' circulation.
:05:32
I thought you came to bury Caesar,
not to praise him.
:05:34
Shakespeare. Ah, yes. A moment ago you
used the Bible... to whip Sister Sharon.
:05:39
- I merely quoted it as a source.
- Of course. As a good newspaperman,
:05:43
you wouldn't use information
unless it was fact, would you?
:05:46
Tell me somethin', Jim.
:05:49
Is the Bible fact?
:05:51
Hm?
:05:52
Well, come on, Jim boy.
Did God create the universe in six days?
:05:56
Did He make the sun stand still
to help Joshua lick the Amalekites?
:05:59
No.
