Here is a quote from a message follower:

Jesus Christ is the Word for our day. God always uses man to bring His Word. That's a scriptural pattern.

Is this correct? Is that what the message of William Branham is? - the word for our day?

What the Bible teaches

WMB's understanding of the "word for our day" was that I have to believe that he was a prophet and if I don't believe that, then i don't have the Holy Spirit.

Let me just sat that is complete and utter non-Biblical nonsense.

I would recommend that you study the Bible for a while and not look at it through the filter of WMB. Discard your message glasses and look at the Bible in all of its purity and clarity.

The message is simply a type of Christian conservativism which has been repeated throughout the history of Christianity. Its adherents say they are founded on scripture but their faith is really based on the "inspired" teachings of an "inspired" teacher.

And a lot of people like this because it's simple. They don't have to think. They just have to believe what the "inspired" teacher says.

But that is not the Bible.

2 Peter 3:15 - Look on our Lord’s patience as the opportunity he is giving you to be saved, just as our dear brother Paul wrote to you, using the wisdom that God gave him. This is what he says in all his letters when he writes on the subject. There are some difficult things in his letters which ignorant and unstable people explain falsely, as they do with other passages of the Scriptures. So they bring on their own destruction.

Peter says that some of Paul's teachings are hard to understand.

The writer of Hebrews states in chapter 5 that " it is hard to explain to you, because you are so slow to understand. There has been enough time for you to be teachers—yet you still need someone to teach you the first lessons of God’s message. Instead of eating solid food, you still have to drink milk. Anyone who has to drink milk is still a child, without any experience in the matter of right and wrong. Solid food, on the other hand, is for adults, who through practice are able to distinguish between good and evil.

We need to be adults. We need to think and consider and ponder Godès word. We need to examine what WMB taught very carefully and compare it to scripture.

We have done that which is why we no longer follow the message of WMB.
