Jesse Smith: Okay. Thank you. First of all, I'll say not all of Brother Branham's teachings were from God, as far as I understand. In "He cares. Do you care?" ,1963, brother Branham said always be careful what you're listening to. He said so much of it is the human side, but ever if it will speak it from the Lord, it'll speak it thus saith the Lord. Now from my listening to brother Branham, I've never heard brother Branham say you were lost if you didn't follow the messenger of your day. So brother Rod, maybe you can look that quote up for me. Please share that with me.

He said, yes. If they believe the Lord. He said, if they disagree with me, he said, that shows where they're headed for, perhaps the tribulation, if they disagree with the baptism of the Holy Ghost. He said, but those who can [00:02:00] accept the word in its fullness, not me preaching it, but because the Bible says so. So brother Branham never put it on him.

Branham's said back to the word. When brother Branham said in 1965, there lost Trinitarians. It wasn't thus saith the [00:09:00] Lord. There's no scripture that says someone's lost for being a Trinitarian. And he never said that's thus say the Lord. brother Branham was a very dogmatic person. He said he was more dogmatic than Brother Neville .

He said, there's dogmatic. There's nice. There's kind people. He was very dogmatic and  he was very convinced. He was right many times, but we got to take everything he said back to scripture. I'll have to look up that all believe the messenger pear or that didn't believe, perished.  I'm not familiar with that one.

There's no way that I would ever follow man who would fake something like that. As Frederick Nietzsche wrote, "I am not upset that you lied to [00:20:00] me. I'm upset that from now on, I can't believe you.
