To date, '''there has been no adequate defense of the message''' with respect to any of the issues, concerns and problems raised by this website [[Research Sources for William Branham and His Message#Independent research sources|and others]].
To date, '''there has been no adequate defense of the message''' with respect to [[List of Issues with the Message|any of the issues, concerns and problems]] raised by this website [[Research Sources for William Branham and His Message#Independent research sources|and others]].  As a result, we make the following challenges to all followers of William Branham.


'''We challenge all message ministers and message believers to make a defense of William Branham and his message''' to all former  and current message believers that have questions.  We have presented [[List of Issues with the Message|detailed reasons why the message is false]] each of which constitutes asking for a "reason" for the hope that is in you. 
=='''Challenge #1 - Prove us wrong!'''==


='''...And A Challenge To A Debate'''=
''OUR PROMISE''' - If you are aware of '''any''' errors/problems/concerns with information in any article on this website, please let us know [[Contact information|by email]] or by [https://www.facebook.com/BelieveTheSign a message to us on our Facebook page]. We will correct any factual errors as quickly as possible.


Furthermore, we challenge Billy Paul Branham or Joseph Branham to a debate.  We also open that challenge to any credible North American message minister.  We would proposed to use pre-agreed upon debating rules such as the Oxford Union rules.  The debate would be held at such place and time and with a moderator that both parties could mutually agree on.  We would also require that, if it was a minister, they have English as their mother tongue.  The debate would be recorded on video and a copy given to each party in the debate.
To date, we have received notice of several errors which we corrected immediately.  To the best of our knowledge, all of the information on this website is accurate and verifiable.


Simply email us to get the ball rolling.   
=='''Challenge #2 - Please provide a scriptural defence!'''==
 
'''We challenge all message ministers and message believers to make a defense of William Branham and his message''' to all former  and current message believers that have questions, as required by 1 Peter 3:15.  We have presented [[List of Issues with the Message|detailed reasons why the message is false]] each of which constitutes asking for a "reason" for the hope that is in you.

=='''Challenge #3 - A Challenge To A Debate'''==
 
Further the challenges above, we challenge [[Billy Paul Branham]] or [[Joseph Branham]] to a debate.  We also open that challenge to any credible North American message minister (one with a congregation in excess of 200 people).  We would proposed to use pre-agreed upon debating rules such as the Oxford Union rules.  The debate would be held at such place and time and with a moderator that both parties could mutually agree on (a neutral location).  We would also require that, if it was a minister, they have English as their mother tongue.  The debate would be recorded on video and a copy given to each party in the debate.
 
Simply [[Contact information|email us]] if you are prepared to meet this challenge.   


But we stress that any interaction must be done in a Biblical manner - with "gentleness and respect".
