Whoever desires to study William Branham's Message as a source of spiritual truth must consider the following questions:

• Did he ever prophesy something that failed to come to pass or not according to the way he predicted it?
• Did he ever teach doctrine as coming from the Lord that doesn't agree with Scripture, or that takes Scripture out of context?
• Did he ever teach anything that directly contradicts God's Word?
• Did any of his prophecies or revelations ever contradict any of those he had previously given?

If you know that the answer to one or more of these questions is yes, then please consider what Jesus said:

Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits.
(Matthew 7:15-20)

William Branham was a self-proclaimed prophet who constantly spoke on behalf of God. A true prophet cannot produce bad fruit. But William Branham produced an abundance of bad fruit. We cannot judge him by his motives and ambitions because only he knew what they were. We must judge him by his fruit. Every time he made a false prophecy he put false words into God's mouth. That was bad fruit. Each time he erroneously discerned the names or diseases of those in his prayer lines, that was bad fruit. Every time he taught doctrine as a revelation from the Lord that could not be supported by, or outright contradicted the Bible, that was bad fruit. Every time his Message added something to the Bible that isn't in there, that is bad fruit. Every time he contradicted himself in prophecy, Message doctrine, or the telling of certain events in his life, that was bad fruit; it was not according to the truth. To follow a false prophet and his teachings is a sin because Jesus told us not to. It is to follow someone who spoke falsely in God's name. It is to follow someone who put words in God's mouth that God did not and could not have said. False prophets put lies in God's mouth and fool us into thinking they are the truth. To follow William Branham and his Message is to disobey Jesus' explicit command to beware of false prophets whose messages are full of bad fruit.

Since the creation of this Website, many followers of the Message have become convinced that William Branham was a false prophet, and some of them have created their own forums & Websites, as well as having written their own books. If only one of these many sources of information has successfully made the case that any of the above questions can be answered affirmatively, then they have proven that William Branham was a prophet with bad fruit—he was indeed a false prophet.

The word is out there. Beware of false prophets who produce bad fruit. Beware of William Branham who appeared as a sheep among us but continually produced bad fruit. Repent and believe in the true Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines.
(Hebrews 13:8-9a)
