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. | 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. He believed that we should be creators, like God, and not procreators as God designed us. | ||

When David says, “Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me,” he is not blaming his mother for his sin, of course. The whole tone of the psalm is against any such idea. David is confessing his sin and taking full responsibility for it. He is confessing that there was never a moment in his existence when he was not a sinner. As one of the early commentators says, “He lays on himself the blame of a tainted nature instead of that of a single fault.”<ref>James Montgomery Boice, Psalms 42–106: An Expositional Commentary (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 2005), 428.</ref> | When David says, “Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me,” he is not blaming his mother for his sin, of course.

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> | And He showed here, in the beginning, that His perfect will was to create man out of the dust of the earth.
