====Examples of the Bible taking a back seat to William Branham==== | |||
In a [[Was William Branham a racist?|well known racist diatribe, Donny Reagan, the pastor of Happy Valley Church of Jesus Christ, stated publicly in a sermon that if Moses was alive today, he would have to follow William Branham's message]]. This comment clearly shows that Donny Reagan does not believe the Bible and holds William Branham's message as superseding the Bible. He specifically makes this comment in respect of William Branham's teaching that biracial marriages are contrary to God's plan. | |||
But what does the Bible say about biracial marriages? | |||
:''Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman.<ref>Numbers 12:1</ref> | |||
A Cushite is from Cush, a region south of Ethiopia, where the people are known for their black skin. We know this because of Jeremiah 13:23: "Can the Ethiopian [the same Hebrew word translated "Cushite" in Numbers 12:1] change his skin or the leopard his spots?"" | |||
In response to Miriam’s criticism, God does not get angry at Moses; he gets angry at Miriam. Then God strikes Miriam with leprosy. Why? Consider this possibility. In God’s anger at Miriam, Moses’ sister, God says in effect, "You like being light-skinned Miriam? I’ll make you light-skinned." So we read, "When the cloud removed from over the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, like snow" (Num. 12:10) | |||
God says not a critical word against Moses for marrying a black Cushite woman. | |||
So according to the Bible, there is no proscription on biracial marriages. William Branham preached against them. Donny Reagan's comments thus prove that he holds William Branham's message as a higher authority than the Bible. | |||
