 :''Can you imagine discounting any man’s ministry over a story of a bridge as remembered by 5 or 6 year old?
+==The Cloud fiasco discounted in a single paragraph==
+:''No matter what the controversy of the cloud, William Branham was caught up in the midst of the 7 angels and the Seven Seals were revealed...  So, perhaps we don’t understand perfectly about the cloud and because of that, we are unable to put all the pieces together – reasoning will say that Bro. Branham didn’t either, yet the very first time he shows the picture and tells of the event to his church, it didn’t offend God nor cause God to forsake him, God was there and raised Edmund Way from the dead in the very same service. If someone has a better explanation than the prophet did of the cloud, let them raise the dead and then maybe I will give some credence to their explanation. I don’t need to understand every detail, I already believe.

 :''This is why we all should proclaim the Bible as our absolute and that William Branham was not God but a prophet and as a prophet he was human as was Elijah, Moses, or any other Biblical prophet.
+==The problem with the Houston photograph==
+:''He’s the man that God wasn’t ashamed to have His picture taken with.
+==How to ignore William Branham's plagiarism==
+:''He told us that he gathered the loose ends that were left dangling by the reformers. This is why I am not surprised when I find he “borrowed” from someone else’s inspiration. Some feel betrayed and say that he plagiarized or borrowed from someone else but the truth of it, we all borrow from someone. His message wasn’t to bring something new, William Branham restored. Yes, there were symbols that no one understood until a prophet came. These were not plagiarized. Yet when he was about to preach on the Seven Seals, he started to bring us some things, referencing other men’s thoughts, until the Angel came into the room and changed his thinking, and revealed to him each Seal. He was doing the best he knew how, as a man probing at the book, until God opened it.
+==Tim Pruitt's red herring argument==
+:''That deity snake poisons the mind and then destroys the foundation when a person perceives something they believe as a flaw. Gulp! He doesn’t know everything, so he can’t be a prophet. This is the poison of the snake, it bites, convincing us that in some way that the man is God and then shows us that he was a flawed human being just like us all, and then the poison sets in, destroying our faith in the messenger so we will lose confidence in the message God was bringing through him.
+==The myth of William Branham raising people from the dead==
+:''God was there and raised Edmund Way from the dead in the very same service.
+==How to interpret scripture badly==
+Tim Pruitt states:
+:''This is why we believe in Elijah’s coming in this day, because the Bible said he would. Greater than any testimony that William Branham gave is the Word of God that testifies of him. The same Word testifies of us and I believe what it says irregardless (sic) of how I feel, what I see or what I hear.

 :''And so it just tore me all up. And the hunting trip that I had planned so long, I could not take it. I was afraid of a hunting accident, if you understand what I mean. I got so shaky, worse than I am standing here now. And I just couldn’t stand it any longer, to think that thirty-one years of ministry went down the Devil’s gutter pipe, into the… When I’m gone, what will they say? “There he is, that’s exactly what it was”; and all the influence that I had upon the people, then you see where it’d be, I’d be an antichrist. And I just couldn’t stand it!

 :''And I wondered; if it would have been some enemy of mine, it would been all right, but I would just have laughed at it and went on; but when it come to being precious brothers, precious sisters, then that’s what hurt me. And I said, “Lord, the great… thing’s too great for me, I’ll just have to walk out and leave it in Your hands. I–I don’t know nothing else to do.”
-A few nights ago, to make it sure, I had a–a visitation from the Lord. And I seen a precious one’s… a babying… a— a serpent which was yellow and black, and telling me right along, and the–and the thing struck me on the leg. But the blood was so rich it didn’t take effect on me. And I looked down, and there’s where I had been bit before. And I turned quickly with a gun and shot the–the thing, and it hit it right in the middle of the thing.
