I have come to believe that most people lean in a certain direction (even as Polycarp did) while still remaining Message Bride. This "leaning" relates to their calling & ministry. In the case of Bro Joseph & Bro Billy Paul, their calling was to preserve every word on every tape as clearly as possible to be available around the world. In the case of a very good teacher I know, he leans towards the necessity of understanding everything Bro Branham preached. In your own case Bro Jesse, you say you disagree with some of Bro Branham's teaching because you place the emphasis on your understanding the Bible. So what is my "leaning"? Well in nearly every case we do not know what aspect of leaning affects us because we are convinced we are right and do not see it as leaning too far in any specific direction. No man is perfect.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Brother. I appreciate you trying to be kind and fair and balanced. I think we need to be careful how much error we place on Polycarp. Especially since he was a martyr. And lastly, the idolatry coming out of Branham Tabernacle, and Billy Paul and Joseph is a very serious matter. They have changed the gospel in over 24 ways. I’m thankful for the good they have done, but they have done much evil as well, by changing the gospel. They are not leaning into idolatry, they are actively propagating it to millions and millions of people. So I’m praying for them to repent. God bless you.

God bless you! I was waiting for you to come out with something since Billy Paul death. Like always this helped me a lot. MY God Bless you

Shalom Pastor Jesse, Thanks for your efforts to defend the biblical massage of WMB, In some of your podcast you said brother Branham said" if i get things mixed up go back to the bible" Do you mind sharing this quote with me ?

God bless you! Here's the quote where Brother Branham said he made a mix up on the tape and the people should look in the Bible: 64-0823M QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.1_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN COD SUNDAY_ « 204 † Like the other day, I got something mixed up; I happened to hear it, and it's... I caught it right there; and it's on the tape, and I--I'll probably hear from it. ... Oh, it's a great teaching there; I didn't touch the edge of it. But if you happen to catch that on your tape, remember, look in the Bible. You see, it's seven months after that. Count off seven months: January, February, March, April, May, June, July--it'd be July, seven months, which represents the full Seven Church Ages. Some minister might pick that up, and then you'd have it. You see there? All right.

Also, here's a quote where Brother Branham said he made mistakes all the time like switching 700 believers who did not bow the knee to Baal rather than 7,000. So in context Brother Branham was saying he mixed up Bible numbers all the time, but he didn't meant to do it: 63-0324M QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.ON.THE.SEALS_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN SUNDAY_ « 230 † Now, yes I meant... Forgive me, please. I... And--and brethren, you on the tape out there, and friends, listen: I didn't mean to say that like that. I--I--I'm a minister of the Gospel; I... Many times as I've preached that, I knowed that was seven thousand. I just happened to say seven hundred. I didn't mean just seven hundred, I meant, you... I just didn't read it out of the Scripture. It just come to my mind while I was talking, and I just said seven hundred instead of seven thousand. I make them mistakes all the time. I'm--I'm a--sure a dummy, so you forgive me. See? I didn't mean to do that.

You should take your tithes and offerings divided it up and pass it back out to the congregation so nobody's lack...

The pastor should do just as he's led of the Holy Ghost. If he's led of the Holy Ghost, then yes, he would want to help the people in the congregation, as long as they are honestly trying to earn a living. The Books of Acts passed out food to those lacking, but we're not told if it was tithes. So you have to be careful to not add your own interoperation to the Word. This is written in brotherly kindness and respect. God bless you.

6:47 - 8:01 I am slightly suspecting that people who based much of their faith on this story might end up leaving the Message, similar to the case of the 1977 non-prophecy prediction, or whenever people were saying the world was ending in 2000 because all the computers would explode from date errors. A lot of things like these can be sand traps to those who don't base their faith on the solid Word of God. That said, it's possible this story could _technically_ be fulfilled after all, since Bro. Branham said our theophanies will look like they're roughly 20 years old.

If they where not saved the blood covers that sinner. If married 2 times god doesn't limit his grace and mercy based on brother branham interpretation. 1 John 1:9“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
