William Branham had this bizarre teaching that God did not intend children to be born by sex.

=What William Branham taught=

William Branham taught that it was not God's perfect will for children to be born on the earth through sex.  He believed that God's original plan for children to be created from the dust, just as God created Adam.

The strange thing is, if this was the case, why did God create men and women with sexual organs that were '''designed''' to produce children?  Did He '''glue a penis on Adam''' as an after-thought?  Were Adam and Eve created with '''parts of their bodies that God never intended them to use'''?

=What the Bible teaches=

It was clearly God's intent that men and women would produce children together:

:''And '''God blessed them'''. And '''God said to them''', “Be fruitful and '''multiply and fill the earth''' and subdue it...<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Ge 1:28.</ref>

=Quotes of William Branham=

God never did have His perfect will for women and men to bring children in the earth. Did you know that? God made man Himself out of the dust of the earth. After the fall... Now, I won't argue about that, 'cause you know I got some very funny views on it. But after the fall, then woman brought children in the world. God told her, "Because you've taken Life out of the world, you have to bring it in the world." Look what kind of a life it was: after sex, desire, fleshly.<ref>BELIEVING.GOD JEFF.IN 52-0224</ref>


Now the world is to be repopulated, not by the original creation of God, like in the beginning, not by the original creation, but by sex desire. Now that takes care of "the beginning," doesn't it? In the beginning there was only one man and one woman, one male and one female; but when she crossed that line and brought this sin, now the world is to be repopulated again, by sex, not by creation; by sex. See where the woman is at now, now? But that's the way the world is populated today, through women.

That's the reason Jesus had to come through the woman, to bring it back to its original beginning again, without sex desire. He is virgin born. But, hallelujah, there will come a time where it won't be no more sex, but God shall call His children from the dust of the earth, back like they was in the original, not through any woman; but through the molding of the clay and the cosmic lights, and the petroleum, He will create again like He did Adam at the first time. Jesus made this possible, by God making Himself a Man and come into the world so He could die, through this woman. Now is testing time, by sin.<ref>MARRIAGE.AND.DIVORCE_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-13  SUNDAY_  65-0221M</ref>


But, and if the people won't walk in His perfect will, He does have a permissive will He'll let you walk in. Notice, He permits it, all right, but He will make it work out for His glory, in His perfect will. Now if you'd like...

Just like, in the beginning, '''it was not God's perfect will for children to be born on the earth through sex'''. No, sir. God created man out of the dust of the earth, breathed the breath of life into him, and he become a living soul. He took from that man a helpmate, and made a wife to him. That was God's first and original will. But when sin come in and did the thing that it did, then He permitted man to marry a wife, legally, and have children by her. "Multiply and replenish the earth, then, if that's the way you're going to do it." But, you see, it never was His perfect will.<ref>DOES.GOD.EVER.CHANGE.HIS.MIND.ABOUT.HIS.WORD  JEFF.IN  65-0418E</ref>


And He showed here, in the beginning, that His perfect will was to create man out of the dust of the earth. But, you see, He permitted sex to be brought in. He never did intend children to be born by sex, but it was permitted, which soon will fade away.<ref>DOES.GOD.CHANGE.HIS.MIND LA.CA 65-0427</ref>
