+A number of years ago, someone asked us a sincere question regarding the message of William Branham.  We diligently tried to answer the question but the results of our research raised a lot more questions.  We spent several years researching these issues which only raised more questions.
-The following is a master list of all of the issues and problems that have been raised with respect to William Branham and his message.  If you are aware of any errors/problems/concerns that are not on this list, please let us know [[Contact information|by email]] or by [https://www.facebook.com/BelieveTheSign a message to us on our Facebook page].
+Our biggest problem was that no one in our church was prepared to answer the questions.  We talked to many well known ministers that also followed William Branham, but they didn't have any answer either.  A few of the more honest ministers actually admitted that we had stumbled onto some questions that they couldn't answer in a way that reflected positively on William Branham.  So we kept searching for answers.
-The purpose of this list is to provide a short concise summary of all known issues that can be used as a quick reference guide when discussing these issues.  Our aim is to have a detailed explanation for each issue when you click on them.  To the extent that the specific issue does not link to anything, it simply means we have not had the time to provide a detailed explanation as yet.

 =Step One - Take a deep breath=
-If you are a message believer, the lists below are going to raise a lot of questions.  But just take your time.  Think about the questions that we are raising and the facts that we are presenting.

-We are not expecting you to believe anything just because we are saying it.  But what we have done is to provide all off the quotes and references necessary to back up all of our facts and observations.  Study these things out for yourself.  If you can find any errors in our research, we will change the information on our website - [[Contact information|just let us know about it]].

-To the extent anyone in the message has sought to provide us with an explanation for, or solution to, a specific problem or issue that we have raised, we have listed these in the discussion of the issue.  There have not been a lot of explanations to date that have been sent to us, and most of them are easily identified as being the product of [[Cognitive Dissonance]] (if you don't know what that is, please click on the link).

 Finally, don't be afraid.  The opposite of love is [[If you need help#If you are afraid|not hate, but fear]].  If you have doubts, they need to be resolved, and the only way to do that is to find out the truth.  We wished that we had known these things years ago.  And we are presenting them here so that you don't have to spend the years researching these issues that we did.
