'''Plagiarism''' is the act of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. It is all about not telling people where you got your ideas from, particularly if you copy someone word for word. It is not necessarily about copyright violation although that could be part of it. | '''Plagiarism''' is the act of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.

Some Message followers try to argue that William Branham was not plagiarizing because he also used some of his own ideas. However, according to the "Harvard Guide to Using Sources," even if you "write down your own ideas in your own words and place them around text that you've drawn directly from an uncited source, you are guilty of verbatim plagiarism. If you copy bits and pieces from a source (or several sources), changing a few words here and there without either adequately paraphrasing or quoting directly, the result is mosaic plagiarism.<ref>https://usingsources.fas.harvard.edu/what-constitutes-plagiarism-0</ref> | |||
William Branham told his audience in his sermon on the Seventy Weeks of Daniel (see below) that he “didn’t know it yet” (but was going to preach on it that morning), that he’d studied Larkin’s writings BUT DIDN’T AGREE WITH THEM and that what they were going to hear was going to come from a revelation that William Branham was trusting GOD to give him. This is how William Branham lifted himself up to become the “messenger of God” of our age. | William Branham told his audience in his sermon on the Seventy Weeks of Daniel (see below) that he “didn’t know it yet” (but was going to preach on it that morning), that he’d studied Larkin’s writings BUT DIDN’T AGREE WITH THEM and that what they were going to hear was going to come from a revelation that William Branham was trusting GOD to give him.
