=What did William Braham believe and teach?=
William Branham initially believed in the doctrine of the Trinity.  However, he eventually came to believe that the doctrine of the Trinity was completely false.
The problem is that if there is no Trinity, where does that leave Jesus? Here are the choices:
#Jesus is a lower god. (Arianism)
#Jesus is another god. (Tri-theism)
#Jesus is not really the Son of God but is God the Father (Sabellianism or Oneness)
#Jesus is just a man and was not deity. (Nestorianism)
These points clearly answer the question, “If the Trinity is not true, then where does that leave Jesus?” It leaves Jesus as a false Jesus. This should establish why the Trinity is an essential of the faith and cannot be denied by anyone who calls themselves a Christian. It is good to point these out to someone who says the doctrine of the Trinity is not essential or primary.
