230 Now you notice in First Corinthians 7:10, notice, Paul commands the wife that is, that divorces her husband, to remain single or be reconciled, not to remarry. She must remain single, or to be reconciled back to her husband. She cannot remarry. She must remain single, but, notice, '''he never said about the man.''' See, you can’t make the Word lie. “From the beginning,” '''the sex law by polygamy'''. Now, the Word of God runs true with nature of God, runs in to continuity.

238 Now look, in the final analysis, look, there is one Jesus Christ (is that right?), one Man, God, Immanuel. Do you believe that? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] But the members of His Wife are many, see, thousands times thousands of thousands (is that right?), His Wife, the Bride, the Church. You understand now? [“Amen.”].

135 “Woman was made for man, and not man for woman.” That’s the reason, under the old laws, that polygamy was legal. (65-0429E - The Choosing Of A Bride)

WMB obviously held men to a different standard for divorce than women.  He specifically states, “he never said about the man.”  '''Why would he say that if he was not making a distinction between men and women?'''  I understand that this is not scriptural.  That is my whole point.  I also think the reason virtually everyone in the message would disagree with you is that they actually understand what William Branham taught on the issue.
