The Message is Greater than the Bible
This article is one in a series looking at the issue of whether the message of William Branham is a cult. You are currently in the article that is in bold:
t is clear that some followers of William Branham believe that he was Jesus Christ. Many followers of William Branham put his sermons above that of the Bible because they believe that he was infallible. These groups would include most of the followers of Joseph Branham.
But some message believers say:
...I have never put Brother Branham's teachings above the Bible! He told us that the Bible is our absolute and that is what I believe. While such people may think that they place the Bible above William Branham's teaching, is this, in fact, the case?
The view of message followers
Message minister Tom Rae speaking at Cloverdale Bibleway stated:
- Amen, it's not just a story. This message has made the Bible come alive. You take this messenger away from the Bible, the Bible's a dead book. You tell me, "Where's the Moses-Exodus type?" You tell me, "Where's the Joshua going into the new land type?" You tell me, "Where's Elijah and on 400 on Mount Carmel with 400?" Every type this message types, take it away and you got a dead letter. You should be thankful this morning for a Living Word. Amen? That's come through a mouth of a prophet.”[1]
