1 | Genesis 3:1-7 | Genesis | Paulfromnys | 26090 | ||
The purity is GODS unfolding Revelation in man. Whatever came from the disobedience of Adam was not included in this. Ok, regarding Bill Branham, theres ALOT to be said which cannot be delt with honestly in this setting in an debate. I have delt with the things your presenting inlight of many other considerations, and cannot reject the claim to Revelations 10:7 out of hand as many do. Genesis 4:1 quotes Eve regarding Cain, but makes no mention of Abel whom all know to be in the lineage from Adam. Does this prove anything, no, but it does not allow the complete rejection many would ascribe to it. The interbreeding comment is out of context, I don't believe your very familiar with the message, and have gotten ahold of some of the wonderful apologetic material that is available. My opinion is that Bill Branham did represent the voice of Revelation 10:7, yet in the presssures of such an office He was found trying to justify as a man what he knew by revelation(mouth to ear) to be true. His quote on interbreeding would be this i believe. He was seeking to make a piece fit I believe. I wonder if we could hear all the things Moses said in light of his experiences with GOD could be cast in such a light, at any event we know Moses was angry(probably befuddled) at the response of the people, and he had to deal with this in GOD. Man is not a beast, yet we know that a beast will receive the worship of all not knowing our Lord. Why is this "man" identified as a beast?? "Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." --Genesis 2:7 This is indeed GODS creation of man, but what we're looking at are the circumstances which perverted GODS image in man to it's current manifestation in this world. Joe ---I pray that you will read the Bible apart from the "revelations" of William Branham, and I pray that the REAL Holy Spirit will enlighten you to what is the truth, Paul. Everything said by human beings needs to be weighed against the content of the whole of Scripture to see if it is reasonable. Branham demonstrated that he wasn't a prophet of God by denying the very truths found in the Word of God. I've been doing this for years. I attend a local assembly of believers who don't see Bill Branham as I do. Yet I've always wanted to consider these things in an honest open fellowship. All to often these things get like a bad divorse, both side ripping at each other, and I'm not up for that. Leave your prayers at GOD revealing what is right to us, because when you say you know you have shut the door to hearing from GOD on that issue. Yours in Christ, Paul |

Greetings Paul! I have to agree with Joe on this issue! Simply put, if something isn't in Scripture - it isn't from God. So, I don't have to pray and find out if this is true or not! God has included everything in His Word that we need for godliness and life. Branham is just another in a long line of false teachers who have twisted God's Word and made it say what they want. If you want evidence of this, I have read all of your other posts and they seem to be sound. It is only on this issue, which you heard from Branham, that you get away from what Scripture actually says. Stick with Scripture! Practice sound interpretation and God will reveal to you everything that you need to know. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi Tim, I feel theres enough to warrent an honest leaving of these things with GOD. I have trouble understanding brothers who say they know these things, when I really believe they don't. A strong opinion, or heldfast belief is one thing, but a total disallowing of a possiple understanding of scripture needs to be examined very seriously. I believe as I have shared, but I am open to the prayers of brethern in these things that GOD bring clarity to us. When you say you know, theres no communion with GOD on that point. I don't believe theres any real knowing shown here, just shock that such an interptation could be applied to those verses. I've left Bill Branham with GOD for several years now, and have received alot of clarity in the scriptures through his teachings. To me it's a very big thing to know something. Yours in Christ, Paul |

Greetings Paul! Let's use an overblown example. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life." This verse is written in a language. Language has rules. Suppose Bill Branham, or someone like him, came and said that God showed that that this verse really means that God hates the world. I don't have to pray about it. I don't have to wonder. John 3:16 plainly says that God loves the world. Gen. 3 says that Eve ate the fruit of the tree. Ate means 'to eat.' Fruit means 'fruit.' Tree means 'tree.' There isn't anything in the passage to indicate that it is anything other than an historical narrative. Therefore, we can know what God says about this, with Bill Branham giving us a secret interpretation. This is all we are saying Paul. Let Scripture speak for itself. We don't need someone who claims to have some secret intepretation that no one else has ever seen. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

very true Tim, but I don't believe at all we're talking about that kind of clarity, do you?? I do appreciate the honest concern, and I'm of the same mind. Your Brother in Christ, Paul |
