=Are William Branham's doctrines in opposition to Biblical Christianity?= | |||
[[The Status of Message Believers|We believe that some message believers are Christians]]. This is because some message churches do believe in and teach the core of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. However, that does not mean that the message represents true or restored Christianity. | |||
To the extent that William Branham preached doctrines that agreed with the Bible, his teachings are acceptable. However, he taught a number of things that are in clear disagreement with the historic Christian faith and the Bible. | |||
Many of these false doctrines actually were solely designed by William Branham to point to himself as God's supreme prophet for the end time: | |||
*[[Matthew 17:11]] | |||
*[[The Fulfillment of Malachi 4:5]] | |||
*[[Enoch and Noah#The Seventh from Adam|Enoch being the seventh from Adam]] | |||
*[[Reading between the lines]] | |||
*[[Prophets that ministered at the same time|God only deals with one prophet at a time]] | |||
*[[The Importance of a Seven-Lettered Name]] | |||
Other doctrines were simply incorrect if a person reads the Bible in an honest fashion: | |||
*[[The Serpent's Seed]] | |||
*[[Michael the Archangel]] | |||
*His [[Lazy Theology]] | |||
*[[Enoch and Noah|Enoch was a type of the wise virgin, and Noah was a type of the foolish virgin]] | |||
*[[Illegitimate children]] cannot be part of the rapture. | |||
*[[Christians that were required to believe Satanic doctrine]] | |||
*[[Marriage and Divorce|If your wife cuts her hair, you can divorce her]]. | |||
*[[Marriage and Divorce|A man can remarry after divorce but a woman can't]] | |||
*[[Destruction of Los Angeles|Capernaum is under the sea]] | |||
*[[Twisted Theology#Don't Weep|John never wept because there was no one worthy to open the book]]- he was weeping for joy. | |||
*[[Three holy words]] of the Bible | |||
*His reasons for rejecting of [[Eternal Sonship]] | |||
*The difference in meaning of [[Q&A on the Godhead#Eternal vs. Everlasting|Eternal vs. Everlasting]] | |||
Finally, William Branham's teaching on the Godhead was very strange: | |||
*In some ways, his teachings were most similar to those of [[The Godhead#The Tabernacle of the Body|Emmanual Swedenborg]] | |||
*In some of his teachings, his view of the Godhead seems to be a form of [[Oneness|modalistic monarchianism]]. As a result, many message churches effectively espouse the "oneness" view of the Godhead. | |||
*But some of his teachings lean toward an [[Dynamic Monarchianism|Adoptionist]] view of the Godhead. Followers of [[Vaylism|Lee Vayle's]] have essentially espoused this view (which some refer to derisively as the '''"Twinity"''' doctrine). | |||
Again the answer is '''"YES", William Branham's teachings contain significant Biblical errors.''' | |||
As a result of the above, '''it is clear that "message believers" are members of a cult.''' | |||
