We cannot be sure where he copied it from but it is clear that this was not a doctrine that he came up with himself.


We know the William Branham referred to the writings of the Ante-Nicene Fathers and it is clear from their writings that the following did not believe in the immortality of the soul:


*Barnabas,
*Clement of Rome,
*Hermas,
*Ignatius,
*Polycarb,
*Justin Martyr,
*Theophilus of Antioch,
*Irenaeus, and
*Clement of Alexandria,


It is likely, therefore, that William Branham picked up the doctrine from reading the works of the Ante-Nicene Fathers.
