Re: Is The Serpent Seed Doctine A "Damnable Heresy
We now have at least two people with first hand knowledge of some of the stuff being taught by these Branhamites, and DV will not acknowledge it as fact.

Galatians 3:16
"... thy seed, which is Christ."
Christ was not the "sperm" of Abraham, he was the blood descendant of Abraham.
How can a woman have "sperm?" Genesis 3:15 - "her (Eve's) seed..."
Jesus Christ is the seed of Abraham and also of Eve. Jesus Christ is their blood descendant.

You seem to be thoroughly confused, but what exactly do you believe on that issue. Then again, even the issue of Calvinism/Armenianism is multi faceted. We could be talking about free-will or limited atonement? What does your "view" say of either?

I assure you there would be as many opinions against your stances as well.. you see its the game of religion

Yes, that is indeed obvious. As most of us on here, I believe in the hypostatic union. Jesus is the God-man. There was contribution from the Father in some sense and the virgin Mary. That is why the human and divine natures of Christ cannot be separated, yet seen with distinctions.

Are you saying that the Serpent Seed Doctrine is widespread? Or is Calvinism wide spread? To believe one is to essentially believe like the other but the Serpent Seed Doctrine does forsake integrity for position in the early texts IMHO.

and these two people will not PROVE it as fact..... are we now to accept as fact the testimonies of Apostolic men who are antagonistic towards Bro. Branham? Is that the shallowness of this boards demand of proof for ALL THINGS?
Becuase someone said it.., it is now fact? I have asked for proof sooooo many times and it never comes

I will ask you to post ONE CHURCH WEBSITE that baptizes in the name of William Branham

Bro Vaughn, we heard this from the branham believers themselves. I don't what the structure of your church or doctrine is but think you know that after his passing there were several splinter groups and interputations of his teachings. some of the leaders taught that they were " Theopanies" of old testament Prophets too .

Let me assure you, there are absolute truths and religion is not always a game. You seem to rely on the excuse that there may be another opinion or another "truth" somewhere so we are all up in flux. God's Word is certain and it is clear, and the Holy Spirit will never lead you against that Word.
