William Branham was all over the map on what he believed and what he preached and this is also evident when it came to racism. While he would clearly state in one message that he believed that all men of every race, tribe and color were equal before God, he would state in another message that he was a segregationist, was stronly opposed to biracial marriages, and thought that Martin Luther King, Jr. was a communist. | |||
In the latter part of his life, William Branham's stance on many controversial doctrinal issues became more virulent and his rhetoric increased. This also appears to be true of his positions on race. We were unable to find any opposition to mixed race marriages in any of William Branham's sermons prior to 1960. His most objectionable comments all appear to have been in the last several years of his life. | |||
