 The following is our response to his defense of the message.
+==Lack of historical records==
+Jason Watkins contends that we can't resolve any of the questions relating to the failed visions because of a lack of historical records:
+:''What we can’t know now and can never know until the other side is all the history behind the events you mentioned so that seeming inconsistencies, (from a human perspective), can be addressed.
+:''These events happened more than a half-century ago. Witnesses and records that would have existed are perhaps lost forever, and this is not unusual when investigating an historical event.
+:''None of the people who were alive during the days when brother Branham was giving these testimonies decried them in any historical record.
+:''So you say you can’t find historical records from that era that 16 men fell from a bridge, but you also can’t find historical records of credible people from that era who discredited the character of William Branham.
+==Character witnesses - a red herring argument==
+Jsaon Watkins argues:
+:''So you say you can’t find historical records from that era that 16 men fell from a bridge, but you also can’t find historical records of credible people from that era who discredited the character of William Branham.
+:''However, there are many great giants of the faith during that time, who were his peers and fellow workers in Christ vineyard who praised him.
+:''Some of them followed his ministry, and some did not. Yet no one ever challenged his stories, which were told from international pulpits around the world.
+===Jack Moore and the boy from Finland===
+Jason Watkins states:
+:''Jack Moore, who was with him in Finland, continued his friendship with brother Branham allowing him to preach in his pulpit at will. Brother Branham even took to calling himself a second pastor there. Would Jack Moore have allowed a man who he knew to be a liar concerning the Finland boy this privilege? I think not!
+===Julius Stadsklev===
+===Gordon Lindsay===
+==Those that did question William Branham's credibility==
+Jason Watkins contends that:
+:''No one, of spiritual credibility whatever ever brought a railing accusation against the character, godliness, and humility of William Branham. Instead, they particularly spoke of his truthfulness and sincerity.
+But this is simply not true.
+==KJV is the only reliable version of the Bible==
+Jason Watkins demonstrates his lack of knowledge of the Bible when he states:
+:''I was making the point Tuesday night to you that our faith must exceed our understanding in order to be disciples of Christ at any level, even if we are to believe our KJV Bible fully.
+:''It has many so-called discrepancies, seeming contradictions and conundrums in its many stories and teachings. Most theologians don’t even use the king James Bible anymore for this reason. But yet we can see that it is the Bible that William Branham used to back down demons by the thousands throughout his ministry. It is the Bible we stick with as God’s inerrant and infallible Word. God hides truth from the intellectual, and even Jesus thanked the Father for this.
+==Did Jesus Exist?  A red herring argument==[
+Jason Watkins states (incorrectly) that there is no proof that Jesus existed:
+:''There is no actual proof that Jesus Christ even existed; we only have the written copies of the record of men who also supposedly lived during that time.
+This again demonstrates Jason Watkins lack of education and knowledge of where the Bible came from.
