William Branham repeatedly stated that "''the Bible said that we should cast down reasoning''". The problem is that there is no scripture in the Bible that states that. Was William Branham adding to scripture? Is there any scriptural support for his claim? | |||
Message | Message followers also that, since nothing of any biblical substance can be empirically “proven”, faith is required in order to treat anything in the Bible as fact. It is therefore reckless to hold William Branham to a different standard, and therefore, illogical to expect his followers to abandon belief in him on the basis of factual evidence. | ||
Furthermore, message followers have told us that Elijah's vindication on Mt. Carmel, and the very existence of Jesus, are two examples of things that are true, but that simply cannot be proved. | |||
Therefore, nothing about William Branham's life can be proven factually incorrect. | |||
