||'''[[Progressive Revelation]]'''.  In order to explain the shift in William Branham's doctrines over time, many ministers who believe he was Elijah the Prophet teach that his sermons became more inspired as time went on.  As a result, they will ignore a statement from 1961 if a quote from 1965 states the opposite.

||[[Failed Prophecies|The Red Herring]].  Voice of God Recordings has stated that you can trust the Message, despite its mistakes, because the Bible has mistakes.  Ouch.  Isn't that like cutting off the limb you are sitting on?  Anyways, the explainations given for the mistakes in the message don't hold water.  This article talks about why those arguments are smoke and mirrors.

||[[Errors in the New Testament]].  In this article we outline how the New Testament was handed down, and transcribed.  We explain discrepancies that are not errors, but interpretation - such as the invention of the "space between words", "lower case letters", "commas" and "periods" after the Greek New Testament was written.  TRYTOSEEHOWHARDITISTOREADASENTENCELIKETHISAMEN

||To Message Believers, an '''[[Angel]]''' is a messenger, a prophet.  This allows them to read the book of Revelation and believe that William Branham is the fulfillment of every single good angel (but not the bad ones).  Is this Biblical?

||'''[[The King James Version of the Bible]]'''.  It is widely believed within the message, that the King James Version of the Bible is the only true “Word of God”. But William Branham never taught this, so why is it such a widely and fervently held belief?
