The closest, most critical, examination of these narratives throughout the ages has never destroyed and can never destroy their powerful testimony to the truth that Christ did rise from the dead on the third day, and was seen of many. | The closest, most critical, examination of these narratives throughout the ages has never destroyed and can never destroy their powerful testimony to the truth that Christ did rise from the dead on the third day, and was seen of many. | ||
==Pastor Wisper Gwena's use of the red herring== | |||
The Off The Shelf podcast did a [http://offtheshelf.life/podcast/episode-42-how-to-defend-william-branham-poorly-part-1/ 5 episode series commenting on Pastor Wisper Gwena's 2017 defense of William Branham.] Pastor Gwena is a pastor of a message congregation in North London, UK. | |||
Pastor Gwena’s argument is this: | |||
#William Branham's appears to be a false prophet according to Deut 18:20-22. | |||
#Abraham and Elijah in the Old Testament also could appear to be false prophets according to Deut 18:20-22. | |||
#But the Bible tells us that both Abraham and Elijah were men of God. | |||
#Therefore, we have biblical precedence to excuse William Branham's failures as well. | |||
Pastor Gwena adopted Voice of God's red herring argument as outlined above. However, he also introduced a new red herring with respect to the prophet Elijah. | |||
