This is part 6 of our discussion with message pastor Jesse Smith regarding the status of William Branham as a prophet. Jax Cox and Tim Kraus act as moderators. In this portion of our discussion, we deal with:
- If William Branham’s teaching is correct, why do message followers display so little love for those who leave?
- Why is the fruit of the message so bad?
- Did William Branham have any valid prophecies? Three prophecies are specifically considered:
- First, the immoral condition of the church;
- Second, that no greater ministry to the Gentiles would rise than William Branham; and
- Third, that no denomination would ever break up and come back to the word.
These questions all focused around the agreed question for discussion:
William Branham is considered by his followers to be a prophet and, specifically, the messenger to the church of Laodicea (the fulfillment of Rev 3:14), the Elijah prophet (fulfilling Malachi4:5-6) and the angel of Revelation 10:7. Was William Branham who his followers say he is?
