And what did William Branham say about his in-laws? He said that Hope's "mother was a very prissy sort of a woman. Fine woman, but she belonged up in the ranks, you know. And so Charlie was just a good old humble brother."

=But didn't Abraham lie?=
This should be considered as a response out of [[Cognitive Dissonance]] (if you don't know what this is, please click on the link).
Many message believers, when confronted with the clear facts that William Branham lied repeatedly state, "Abramham lied and he was the father of faith."  This is effectively admitting that William Branham lied but that it is not a big deal if he lied.
The problem with this argument is that it is a [[Failed Prophecies|red herring]].
Why did Abramham lie"  Because he feared that his life was in danger.
William Branham, on the other hand, lied to uphold the claim that God spoke to him and that his prophesies were authentic.  William Branham lied to make himself look like a prophet so that people would follow him.
His prophecies weren't authentic and, therefore, we must deal with Deuteronomy 18:20-22.
