Some have accused us of mocking William Branham
We don't consider that pointing out lies, inconsistencies, and false teaching to be mocking. Some times it is necessary to point to the false with the absurd.
But there is another point here. Mocking would imply that William Branham is deserving of a great deal of respect which we don't think is correct.
The Bible says:
- millstone around the neck thing and all that...
We have sat for many years in a church that taught the message. As a result, there is a fair amount of righteous anger going on regarding how the teaching of William Branham, or at least the interpretation of it across the pulpits of message churches today, has attempted to place people in fear of their eternal souls by controlling their behavior.
It is atrocious, and it certainly isn't of God. There is legitimate anger at the time that people have lost in believing what has turned out to be absolute bulls wool (to borrow a phrase from the down under).
Is there is any thing mocking or arrogant about being direct and concise about how William Branham lied, or about how his ministers and believers treat people?
We are simply calling a spade a spade. I also think there is a lot of disrepute when people use language about being careful calling out the lies of William Branham as if he were an Apostle.
He deserves NOT ONE BIT of my reverence and when his ministers act in ways that contrive to deceive members of their assemblies, then they also lose any claim to respect.
