Was Jesus Christ a sinner?
William Branham taught that Jesus Christ died a sinner. But is that what the Bible teaches?
What the Bible teaches
These scriptures must be rejected if you are to believe William Branham's teaching:
- 2nd Corinthians 21. -For He has made Him to be sin for us, who KNEW NO SIN, that we may be made the righteousness of God in Him.
- Hebrews 4: 15. -For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities: but was in all points tempted like us we are, YET WITHOUT SIN
- 1 Peter 2: 22. - WHO DID NO SIN, neither was guile found in His mouth.
- John 8: 46. - Which of you CONVINCETH ME OF SIN? And if I say the truth, why do you not believe me?
- Romans 5: 19 - For as by ONE MANS DISOBEDIENCE (Adam) many were made sinners, SO by THE OBEDIENCE OF ONE (Christ) shall many be made righteous.
Christ did not save us by JOINING US IN SINNING AGAINST GOD. He NEVER SINNED. Had He sinned His blood would not save mankind since He would have died for His own sin. Quit the big lie.
What William Branham taught
Eve actually thought she was right. But Satan deceived her. But he didn't deceive Adam. He knew it was wrong. But because of the love for his wife, he represented hisself with sin and was condemned by the same. And cast out of the garden of Eden. And Christ represented Hisself with the Church full of sin, and was condemned, and His soul went to hell. That's right. And God raised Him up on the third day. You believe that? See? It wasn't that he didn't sin; he did sin. And Christ was... He never... God wouldn't have sent Him to — to hell pure. He had to send Him to hell condemned (See?), because He took our sins. And Christ died, not righteous; Christ died a sinner. See?[1]
