Subject: Genesis 3:1-7 |
Bible Note: No the line was not sinless, only Jesus is that. Bill Branham is as far from embracing evolution as you can get. Genesis 4:1 says Eve said that we have a man from the Lord, and is silent regarding Abel. 1Jo 3:12 Not as Cain, [who] was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. It's interesting to consider how such a life could be manifested immediately after the fall. Joe:---So we return to the age-old deception of believing that the Bible needs a human interpreter to tell us what the "hidden meaning" behind the text is. Amo 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. Rev 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. Joe----One must reject the clear rendering of Scripture in order to embrace Branhamism. In addition, the teachings of Branham regarding the serpent's seed has NEVER been held in the total of church history. Such an "important doctrine" was not taught by the apostles, nor by anyone in church history until Branham. No trace of it at all. So either our sovereign God let His truth disappear for until the 1940s, or Branham is wrong. ------- You've picked a point unacceptable to your thinking, and disqualified a powerful ministry based on this. This is what many of Jesus disciples did when He spoke of eating His flesh, and drinking His blood. I think we need to let this go, so this will be my last reply for the time being. Joe:---Seriously, Paul, take a step back and evaluate that. Literally thousands of years went by, with this "revelation" hidden. The Bible doesn't mention it directly, and even apparently denies it, based on the verses I already cited. Only those who follow Branham hold to this strange doctrine, and do so in the face of the weight of history and the Biblical narrative and the complete SILENCE of Scripture on this doctrine. --------------------------------- I don't need to pray whether Branham was right any more than I need to pray whether the Book of Mormon is true. God has already plainly revealed that he is not.--------------------------------- I'm very serious about these things, and I do leave them with GOD for final clarity. I'm also very serious when I exort you to do the same. Yours in Christ, Paul |
