'''ABM:''' A basic element in your conclusions in all this is accurate. Bro. Branham exaggerated, he made some things up. Those exaggerations not related to doctrine or biblical interpretation can be "excused" as a personal failing of a man. There is sound biblical precedence for that. The result though is that we have to be careful, and make sure we validate things by the bible and not repeat everything as fact unless we know it is true. This goes back to the basic problem with some people in the movement, they are unable to separate fact from fiction, on this level, or on the doctrinal level. And that is the kind of a church you came out of. We are not all that way, and we have been honest about these things since the beginning. | '''ABM:''' A basic element in your conclusions in all this is accurate. Bro.

The most logical explanation is that he never saw it and so didn't mention it. You indicated that he was significantly influenced by other and it appears that he simply took their suggestion and ran with it. | ||
I was forced to arrive at a conclusion very different from yours. If a man is consistently untrustworthy with respect to his speech, why would I ever trust him to lead me to proper doctrine. | I was forced to arrive at a conclusion very different from yours.
