Reagan addresses this in his sermon when he says that if Moses was here now, he would have to obey William Branham. This comment clearly shows that Donny Reagan does not believe the Bible but does hold William Branham as being above the Bible.

This statement seems to have brought confusion to some of the commentators and bloggers as they don't understand his reference which appears to be to and oblique reference to the Book of Revelation in the Bible:
With this statement Donny Reagan is insinuating that mixed-race children are destined to hell.  This is because followers of William Branham's message believe that they are the Bride of Christ and will dwell in New Jerusalem while those Christians that are not in the elite group (anyone who does not follow William Branham) will be part of the nations outside the city.  The only other option is hell.
 
:''And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.  By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it,  and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there.  They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations.<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Re 21:23–26.</ref>
