==Questions and Answers== | |||
'''The following question was received via email and has been edited to reduce it's length:''' | |||
I have viewed your video, "Fallen From Grace" and I do not think you represented Brother Branham fairly. Let alone Paul. | |||
Your error I believe is not really knowing what Paul preached and your inability to correctly place what is said. | |||
In your video you claim for William Branham to say boys with long hair and pants hanging down as "fallen from Grace" is anti-Paul's Gospel. Are you sure about this? Did Paul preach that men were to have long hair? | |||
Did not Paul say it was a shame for a man to have long hair? If the grace Paul preached established a principle for men and that principle is discarded by men could it not be said they have fallen from the grace Paul preached? | |||
Let us look at what Paul said.. | |||
:''Ye that are justified by the Law ye have fallen from Grace.'' | |||
To contrast Paul's statement you put up Brother Branham saying that a boy with long hair dressed immorally had fallen from Grace. You insist that the long hair person is not fallen from Grace because there is no law against long hair. | |||
Think about it! You declare the long haired boy as JUSTIFIED, while condemning William Branham for saying he is not. Are you sure you know what you are doing? It was Paul that preached against long hair on a man and it was Paul who established the standard which Grace set for men and women. Modesty is in the standards of Paul's grace. | |||
Who's Grace do you think those that heard Paul partook of? I will tell you. It was Paul's Grace they partook of. He was the dispenser of the Grace he had received. He was very clear on this. | |||
:''If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward...'' (Eph 3:2) | |||
What Paul was dealing with in Galatians was not what you imagine. Those of the circumcision were endeavoring to enforce on the Galatians "Covenant Law". It had nothing to do with Long hair and being immoral and women, scantly dressed or being arrayed in expensive garb. Those of the circumcision were preaching "The Law" as a means of perfection and acceptance into the covenant. Paul said to adopt the Law.. i.e. Covenant law was to fall from Grace. | |||
On this issue, you are deceived. Liberty from THE LAW is not a liberty to an occasion of the flesh. And, to equate the quotes you presented from William Branham as saying he was preaching "perfection" through dress is simply a fabrication. He never preached perfection was though what anyone wore or did not wear. What you do is obfuscate one issue with another and attribute two lies to William Branham when in fact the very basis of for your reasoning on the first complaint is totally a deception to begin with. | |||
'''Here is the answer that was emailed to the person asking the question:''' | |||
[[Image:John Wesley.jpg|thumbnail|left|John Wesley]]If I accept your doctrine that men with long hair (or hair of similar length to former First-Lady Jackie Kennedy) have fallen from grace, then John Wesley has to be included in that category of people that fell from grace. He had hair longer that Mrs. Kennedy. | |||
Falling from Grace is different than something like not having peace, not having faith, or not having patience. Falling from Grace is substituting the cross for something else. Long hair may not be appropriate based on the scriptures, but it does not mean the man has fallen from grace. | |||
