The comments below simply reflect some of the main obstacles that people will face in balancing Christianity with their belief in William Branham's role, policies, prophecies and doctrines.


==Failed visions and constantly changing prophecies==


One significant problem with William Branham's prophetic ministry is that '''we have been unable to find a single occurrence''' where we have a clear prophecy recorded on tape that was later clearly fulfilled.  We have [[Condensed List of Issues with the Message#Problems with Prophecies and Visions|compiled a comprehensive listing of all of the problems with William Branham's prophetic ministry]].
==Shocking lack of credibility==
Message believers revere William Branham as a prophet of Biblical proportions.  In fact, most believe that he is the greatest prophet that lived, aside from Jesus Christ and, perhaps, Moses.  One would expect that such a prophet would be beyond reproach, given the Biblical requirements of servants of the church as outlined in 1 timothy 3:1-13 and Titus 1:6-9.
But when William Branham's sermons are examined in detail and compared with historical evidence, huge credibility gaps become painfully evident.  We have [[Condensed List of Issues with the Message#General Credibility Issues|provided a detailed listing of the multitude of our concerns]] in this regard.
