William Branham and the Bible: Difference between revisions

:''Somebody told me, said, "Well preacher, you don't know the Greek words." I said… "You don't know the Bible right. If you knowed this word don't mean this, it means that." I said, "Brother, I know the Author better than I know His Book." Amen. I'd rather have the Author anyhow any time. His Book's fine. That's right. But I'd rather know the Author. <ref>51-0413, The Works That I Do Bear Witness Of Me</ref>

Now, remember, this here coming, after the tribulation... The church does not go through the tribulation. We know that; the Bible says so. See? All right.<ref>THE.REVELATION.OF.JESUS.CHRIST_  JEFF.IN  ROJC 9-67  SUNDAY_  60-1204M</ref>

Now, you say that's Calvinistic. I'm not a Calvinistic now. I believe that security goes with the church. Exactly right. But if you're in the church, you're secured with it. But are you in the church, the next thing? Now, that's it. Not because you say you are, that don't put you there.<ref>SIRS.WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS_  LONG.BEACH.CA  WEDNESDAY_  61-0208</ref>

Now, Moses knowed that voice was God, because it was Scriptural. Now, anybody that passes and sees a voice, and if it is not a Scriptural voice, leave it alone. If the Bible says so, then believe it, because it's a Scriptural voice. People seeing angels and so forth... Joseph Smith seen one. I different with Joseph Smith, because it was not Scriptural, but I don't say the man never saw an angel. I'm not to dispute the man's word. There's been many angels, and so forth, saw. But if any angel... Paul said, in Galatians 1:8 "if an angel from heaven come, preached any other gospel than that which I've already preached to you, let him be accursed." That's right. Stay with the Word. Right with the Word; and what the Word says, stay right with it. Don't move from there.<ref>CONFERENCES_  BLOOMINGTON.IL  MONDAY_  61-0410</ref>

220    Because, there's no virtue in me. I'm a man. Here is your pastor, is just the same as I. We're just servants of Christ. But, we're here. Now, they are--they are preachers. I'm not very much of a preacher. You know that, by now. But I--I... They are ministers, teachers, and so forth. I'm not a minister, or a preacher, rather, because I have no education, or, and no schooling. And I have no degrees of... and what... No B.A.'s or D.D's, or... I--I just don't have it. And I--I--I... But the Lord gave me a--a gift, because I love Him. And He--He lets me work for Him in this way.<ref>JESUS.CHRIST.THE.SAME.YESTERDAY.TODAY.AND.FOREVER_  TUCSON.AZ  TUESDAY_  63-0604</ref>

The choice of your conduct. You could... You can't mix it now. You're either for God or against God, and the outward expressions shows exactly what's on the inside. See? The cocklebur... Many of you think, "I got the baptism of the Holy Ghost, I'm going to Heaven." That don't mean one thing that you're going to Heaven. No, sir. You can have the baptism of the Holy Ghost every hour in your life, and still be lost and go to hell. The Bible says so. Uh-huh, that's exactly right.<ref>LEADERSHIP_  COVINA.CA  V-7 N-7  TUESDAY_  65-1207</ref>
