'''Who is William Marrion Branham?'''  In the late 1940's, his healing ministry skyrocketed him from  a pastor in a small church outside Louisville, Kentucky to an international evangelist.  However, as his ministry progressed his visions and doctrine became increasingly controversial until '''his death''' on December  24, 1965.

The purpose of this website is to provide [[Condensed List of Issues with the Message|independent, objective, comprehensive information on William Branham]] and to ask questions about the facts that we have discovered.  At one time this website was not objective in our approach and for that [[Humble Pie|we humbly apologize to our readers]].  Click on the links below to go to our detailed articles on a variety of subjects related to his life and ministry, his claims, the beliefs of his followers, and the criticisms of his detractors.

Luke made it clear that we should look for proof that what we believe is true in Luke 1:1-5 and Acts 1:1-3:
 
*''Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us,  it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, '''that you may have certainty''' concerning the things you have been taught.<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2016), Lk 1:1–5.</ref>
*''In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.  He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by '''many proofs''', appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2016), Ac 1:1–3.</ref>


We believe that all of [[Evidence and the Message|the evidence presented on this website]] is trustworthy.  However, we have tried to provide all of the necessary footnotes and references from where we obtained this evidence so that you, our readers, can '''confirm it independently on your own'''.  Look at the evidence, verify it, and try to answer the questions that we have raised.
