The name "Roberts", as in Oral Roberts, also has seven letters. However, this did not appear to be of any consequence to William Branham, who still taught that a man with a seven-lettered name was one of the angels that went down to Sodom...while he represented Elohim who stayed and discerned Abraham and Sarah's sickness. | The name "Roberts", as in Oral Roberts, also has seven letters.

=Did Oral Roberts have a miraculous ministry?= | |||
First William Branham said there were no miracles in Oral Roberts ministry and then he said there were a few. This is very troubling because the evidence is that there were as many and some would say many more miracles in Oral Roberts' ministry as there were in William Branham's service. Oral Roberts certainly prayed for many more people than William Branham ever did. | |||
:''And you also remember, that in the days of Sodom… Any of you ministers and you Bible students, I believe you would agree with this. Doctor Scofield and many others does; most all the teachers, Charles Fuller, and so forth, of great scholars in the land: That Abraham represented the Spirit, church spiritual. Lot represented the church carnal or natural. He was down in Sodom in the sin, yet he had righteousness in him, but he was mixing with it. And remember, there was '''two intellectual preachers that went down to preach to Sodom. They did no miracle,''' only blinded them. And the preaching of the cross blinds the unbeliever. '''That's what great meetings of Billy Graham and them has done, that's made them worse.'''<ref>59-0812 - Discerning The Body Of The Lord</ref> | |||
:''But '''they didn't perform any miracles''', only smote some men blind. And the preaching of the Gospel does smite blind to the unbeliever.<ref>60-0109 - Sirs, We Would See Jesus</ref> | |||
:''And so after They went down to Sodom. Remember what Their message was when They got down there? Repentance. "Come out." That was a modern Billy Graham, and an Oral Roberts, or whatever you want to call it, two great, mighty ministers that went down there into Sodom and preached repentance. They didn't perform so many miracles: only blinded a few eyes. And preaching the Gospel does blind the unbeliever. So He… They—they never done such a miracle. '''They did miracles, but not miracles like was back here at the other place.''' Now, They preached and called them. "Repent or perish." That was the Two that went down into Sodom.<ref>60-0720 - It Is I</ref> | |||
:''Now, there come up three Angels, and One of them was God. So He set down with Abraham; and two of them went down in Sodom and preached the Gospel to them. Is that right? A modern Billy Graham to the church normal that's in Sodom, great men like that, '''Oral Roberts, going down there and performing… They didn't do much of a miracle, not too many.''' They did something, smiting them blind. Now, Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom…" Now remember, two preachers, a modern Billy Graham and O—somebody else, we'd say any great evangelist, Oral Roberts, or some of them, went down into Sodom and preached. Now, they were great preachers, for they did do a sign down there, a miracle, but not that sign. See? Went down into Sodom, and they preached a warning message that they'd better "get out of there, for God's going to destroy it."<ref>62-0724 - Sir, We Would See Jesus</ref> | |||
First he says no miracles then a miracle or two. Just do an internet search for Oral Roberts or reads his life story and you will find out that William Branham did not tell this correctly. People have to disregard truth to believe God performed no miracles in Oral Roberts' ministry. This is another example of William Branham pointing to himself and pointing away from another man of God. | |||

First he says no miracles then a miracle or two...If there is any question just google what meetings Oral Roberts had. Great meetings...but he always used Oral Roberts as one that went down into Sodom..One can also read Oral Roberts Life Story...I didnt agree with how he ended up but many many many healings and miracles in his campaigns...and people of the 1960's should have known better than to believe this...besides that didnt William Branham preach to the lost also ? Anyone who Googles Oral Roberts or reads his life story will know William Branham did not tell this correctly....people have to disregard truth to believe God performed no miracles in Oral Roberts ministry...that is just not right...its not true...this is a twisting of scriptures | First he says no miracles then a miracle or two...If there is any question just google what meetings Oral Roberts had.
