Resonable though if he has not done the study. Impossible to see or impossible to miss no where in between it appears.

Just saw your post -- I really like K Conner's book. I haven't looked at this thread in almost 2 years. Be blessed bro.

Do not be decieved! it is NOT simply an alternative expliation of an OT story!

Brother Steve,

Are you the Brother Steve Epley that said, "The reason you don't like Serpent Seed is that it shows who your old pappy is"? That is a direct quote from YOU, my Brother. Do you still believe "it shows who your old pappy is?" Just a question.

That could not have been said better except for one thing. Bro Branham said, if you love me call me "brother". So I always call him Bro. Branham.

But all, in all, that was a wonderful post! And that is just the way I want it! The Bible exactly as it is without some theologian's slant to it.

Bro. Branham was a vindicated prophet and those who are contradicting him definitely are NOT vindicated.

A theologian once said to me, "Bro. Branham was all mixed up". I said, "Well here we have Bro. Branham all mixed up and you all straightened out and God did more with him mixed up than he ever has done with you and you being all straightened out...I think I would rather follow the teaching of the mixed up man since that is so".

He stated that anything contrary to the Word of God was Satan's kingdom.[74] He insisted that everything was based on Scripture, which he said included listening to an angel, another minister, or accepting a church creed. He based everything on the Word of God being fully vindicated

I believe Bro Branham was used of God genuinely. No doubt about it. But we cannot go by signs and wonders to say everything a man proposed was vindicated. Jesus said many would come to Him saying, "Lord, Lord, have we not cast out devils, performed many wonderful works..." And Jesus will respond He never knew them. Not saying those who work signs and wonders are lost, but I am saying this shows signs and wonders do not vindicate a man of God. I am not saying Branham was lost either, btw.

I appreciate your answer and respect your opinion...but my dear brother, that is all it is, an opinion. Bro. Branham stood before the Greater Chicago Ministerial Association that had enough degrees to plaster mine and your walls. These were men that had Doctor's degrees in theology. He told them, "Come bring your Bibles and stand by my side and disprove anything I have preached." There were about 300 of them in attendance. Not a one of them made a move. They were afraid to. Those ministers had seen enough to know that they had better be afraid of that angel of God that was with him. Now, Brother Branham is off the scene and people are mighty bold. What they don't realize is that God-sent prophet is off the scene, but the Angel of the Lord is still here.

Incidentally, they had set a trap for Brother Branham and the Lord even showed him exactly what they were up to and even showed him where they would be sitting and that they would not even get the room that they had already paid for. It happened exactly like he said. While his doctrine may cross your theology, it does not cross the Word of God.

I don't know about you, but God has never visited me by allowing a supernatural being to be photographed over my head and then authenticated it by experts to be genuine. It hangs in the Religious Hall of Arts in Washington, DC as the ONLY supernatural being ever to be photographed. Now I ask you, why would God do that? God has never sent me around the world seven times with "Thus saith the Lord" hundreds of thousands of times and not let it fail....not even once!

I don't know what you are looking for as vindication, but I would say that comes closer than anything else I've ever seen...and I have been out there in the Pentecostal movements and seen a lot of things.

Did you know that when the Apostle Paul came on the scene, there was not one Scripture in the Old Testament to say that Paul was coming and would be the Apostle to the Gentiles? But he said it and I believe it just on the basis of "Paul said it". Would you have believed that a man before his conversion who murdered Christians would be the Apostle to the Gentiles, simply because he said so? Yet I do believe it.

Finally, my brother where is the vindication of what you are believing? Are we to believe Brother Branham was wrong simply because someone says so? I have seen too much to not believe that Brother Branham had "Thus Saith the Lord". As always, God sends His prophet to an age; some believe and profit thereby and some don't believe to their own hurt. I admonish you as a brother to look a little closer at what God has done in our age and don't take anyone else's word for it. You owe it to your spiritual life.

God bless you and every one else on this forum.

Bro. Ray.

from a history of revival

THE HEALING REVIVAL

In 1946, an unknown Baptist minister from southern Indiana named William Branham suddenly made news by holding campaigns where healing was promoted. Among Pentecostals, healing had been taught and practiced for years. It was commonly known as "divine healing," and in conjunction with the message of salvation was included in what was termed the "Full Gospel." William Branham had been asked to come to St. Louis, Missouri to hold a meeting for Pastor Robert Daugherty. Here he prayed for the pastor's daughter. She had been dying but was healed in answer to prayer. Crowds came to the church and healing of the sick was emphasized. From there Brother Branham went to Jonesboro, Arkansas where he conducted a meeting at the Bible Hour Tabernacle. Over 25,000 people from 28 states attended the meetings. With these meetings, the post World War II Healing Movement was born. As testimonies of incredible healings increased, Branham's fame and ministry grew. Within months he had assembled a management team which included Jack Moore, pastor of a large United Pentecostal Church in Louisiana, plus Gordon Lindsay and Ern Baxtor. In April, 1948 Gordon Lindsay initiated a magazine called "The Voice of Healing" to publicize the ministry. Within a few years the magazine became the voice of dozens of healing evangelists who were criss-crossing the country and traveling into foreign countries with the message of God's healing power. As early as 1950 over 1,000 healing evangelists gathered at a Voice of Healing convention.

There were also reports of Bro. Branham's meetings in issues of The Pentecostal Herald

I have a pdf file of a book titled, "A Man Sent from God" that I can send to anyone who will pm me and give me their email address. The file is too large to attach here. I don't know the copyright date or author of the book and don't remember where or when I got it.
