William Branham practiced a [[Lazy Theology|lazy theology]] which we demonstrate in other articles on this website.  But at times, he also completely contradicted what the Bible said. Here are a couple of examples:

William Branham completely contradicted the Bible at times. Here is one example:

:''We should be so on fire for God; we should be going day and night. Nothing should be able to stop us, and we should be so sweet, and so pleasant, and so kind, so Christ-like in our lives. It takes every day's life. Jesus said, "Consider the lily of the field, how it grows, toil and spin; yet I say unto you that Solomon in all of his glory is not arrayed like one." Solomon had robes that was arrayed with glorious silk and needle work and things, but that--that didn't--that wasn't what He was talking about. '''In order for a lily to grow, it has to toil both day and night.''' What do you want to come up back here on the little end of the line for?''<ref>60-0522M ADOPTION.3_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN SUNDAY</ref>

:''You know, we get up here as ministers, and we speak, and we're always giving out to the people everything that's in us. I preached a subject one time, where Jesus said, "Behold a lily, how they neither--neither toil nor spin, and yet I say unto you that Solomon in all of his glory was not arrayed like one." And I find out, the lily has to grow, day and night, spin, toil, and to make itself radiant.''<ref>65-0120 LEAN.NOT.UNTO.THY.OWN.UNDERSTANDING PHOENIX.AZ WEDNESDAY</ref>

Line 41: Line 42:
William Branham completely contradicts what Jesus was saying.  Jesus said in both passages that the lilies '''do not work'''.  But William Branham turns right around and says that '''in order for a lily to grow, it has to toil both day and night... And I find out, the lily has to grow, day and night, spin, toil, and to make itself radiant.'''

This is a total contradiction to what Jesus said.

=Don't Weep=
 
==What the Bible says==
 
Revelation 5:4-5
 
:''And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.  And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
 
The Bible says that John was weeping out of sadness.  One of the elders consoles him by saying "Weep not because the Lion of Judah will open the book.
 
==What William Branham said==
 
:''And when the... John wept. Now, someone, as I said last week, they said, "John wept because that he could find nobody worthy." It wasn't that. A man under the influence of the Holy Ghost wouldn't weep for that. Thought that, "'Cause he wasn't worthy," maybe John himself wasn't worthy. There's nobody worthy. But he didn't weep because of that.
 
:''I believe he was weeping for joy because that he had seen the whole plan of redemption was wrote in this Book here. It wasn't because there wasn't nobody worthy, because there stood a Lamb right there was worthy. So he was weeping there, he said, "Oh, Glory to God." Listen at him directly when he goes to shouting. Now, but we find him here weeping because that he was so happy because that the Lamb had taken the Book for the--out of the hand of Him that set upon the throne.''<ref>REV.CHAP.5.PART.2 JEFF.IN ROJC 747-793 61-0618</ref>
 
This is again in total contradiction to what scripture said.  William Branham ignored the plain meaning of scripture.  His theology cannot be trusted.
