| What does it mean to have Fallen From Grace? Is it how you dress? Or is it something radical like replacing faith in Jesus Christ with a man-made law? |
| Enoch and Noah were on the Earth preaching at the same time, according to William Branham. Enoch represented the wise virgin while Noah represented the foolish virgin. Is this what the Bible actually teaches? |
| Matthew 24:28 says "For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together" in the King James Version. The English Standard Version says "Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather." How does this simple change impact Message doctrine? |
| Michael the Archangel. To most Christians he is an angel. To Jehovah Witnesses he is Jesus. William Branham also taught that Michael was Jesus in the form of an Angel. Is this Biblical? |
| Are There Women Angels? Did you know that the Book of Zechariah talks about winged women? |
| Was King Saul the people’s choice by democratic vote? Or was he the king that God chose? What does the Bible say, and what did William Branham say? |
| Were the midwives of Egypt good or bad? William Branham called them witches. The Bible calls them God fearing. Why the difference? |
| Do lilies toil? William Branham said they do, Jesus said they don't. Why was William Branham misquoting Jesus? |
| Why did John weep in the book of Revelation? John wrote that it was because "no man was found worthy to open and to read the book." William Branham said, "It wasn't that. A man under the influence of the Holy Ghost wouldn't weep for that...I believe he was weeping for joy!" Why did he obviously change scripture to match the doctrine he wanted to preach? |
| Abraham and Sarah. When The Lord told Abraham they would have a child, and Sarah laughed in the tent, then denied it to the angel, WMB said if it wasn't for Abraham, God would have struck her dead. But is this what the Bible teaches? |
| Amos 3:3. William Branham's interpretation of Amos 3:3 emphasized that God did not want people to be in unity when they had a basic disagreement about some important matter. For example, he said that God could never be among the United Nations because people in different nations were too different from one another in their views. Is this really what the Bible says? |
| The Sin in the Wilderness. William Branham believed that the children of Israel that died in the wilderness and did not enter the promised land were eternally lost. But is this what the Bible teaches? |
