Dupa 40 de ani in mesaj (engleza)

James Manuel came into the Message in 1973. Find out why he left the Message in 2012, his challenge to those still in the Message, and read about the threats on his life by people who claim that William Branham is a prophet:

------------------------------

I have spent 40 years of my life in the message. I believed it, I lived it, I preached it. The message is all my wife knew, it is all my children knew, it is all I knew. ...I challenge any pastor, deacon, elder, trustee, treasurer, usher, believer of the End-Time Message of William Branham to disprove what I said. I am willing to publicly repent, recant and return to the message if you can convince me with hard evidence that my claims are false. Likewise, if you fail to disprove what I claim, are you willing to turn your back on the message and follow the Lord Jesus Christ?

The past few months have been challenging. I have had a few threats on my life because of my stand against the message. I receive constant messages in my inbox warning me of imminent danger. I have never taken these threats seriously. I believe that God is in control of my life and I want to do whatever His will is for my life.

However, a few days ago, I received a serious death threat on my telephone at home. The person did not identify himself (I could hear by the voice it was a male). The message was brief, “ we know your movements, we know where you live, we know where you go to church, we are making plans to take you out. Stop spreading the lies about our prophet”

I ask you, dear message believer. Is this even Christian to threaten someone who believes different than you?? Is it even common decency to threaten someone with his life just because he is highlighting severe problems with what you believe??

I have decided after much prayer and advice from my friends, to go public. I want you all to see what is really happening around you. If the message is 100% correct and 100% in line with the Word why is it so difficult to give answers to simple questions?? It is time that you check what you believe against the Word of God: the Bible.

James Manuel

Povestea reala a vietii lui Branham

Povestea vietii lui Branham este cu totul diferita fata de ceea ce ni s-a spus. Am vazut video de mai jos si mi-am amintit ca multe din cele spuse le scrisesem si eu.

Am scris "Viata si misiunea extraordinara a lui William Branham" in 1999 si in 2000 partea a doua. Am crezut cu fiecare particica din mine ca tot ce scriu este adevarat. M-a emotionat si mi-a dat curaj sa fac tot ce pot cu cativa banuti castigati din noua firma facuta atunci. Am investit tot. Am tiparit mii de exemplare si am raspandit in toata tara. 

Chiar si multi fratii ce il urmeaza pe Ewald Frank au apreciat cartea bine documentata, "desi ei sunt total impotriva la alte surse de hrana".

Mi-am zis ca daca vine Domnul sa stiu ca am facut ceva util. Banii ii mancam, cheltuiam, dar "asa ceva ramane pentru vietile oamenilor pentru eternitate daca se mantuiesc" ma gandeam.

A avut impact major in Romania. Atunci nu era atata tehnologie si carti ca si acum si era bine venita. Apoi am editat si tiparit si volumul doi care a fost mult mai bun si voluminos si documentat.

Regret enorm ca am pierdut timpul, energia, banii cu povesti neadevarate, sau regret ca nu a fost adevarat in ceea ce eu si altii am crezut.

Am verificat argumentele lui John Collins. Din pacate -din fericire as zice acum- sunt adevarate. 

Povestea siropoasa, sentimentala si supranaturala a vietii lui Branham nu este asa cum ni s-a spus. 

Lui fratele Collins inca i-a scapat cateva chestii, care am vazut si eu pe alt site, sau din ce imi aminteam, ca ceea ce Branham a pretins, NU ESTE ADEVARAT. 

Nici faptul ca a fost campion la box sau ca era in Phoenix cand a murit fratele sau in accident nu e adevarat. El era intr-o biserica penticostala de negrii bucurandu-se de Duhul Sfant (totusi spunand ca din cauza lui soacra-sa nu a umblat cu ei) atunci si de acolo a fugit repede sa faca ceva.

Exista extrem de multa multa contradictie si minciuna si confuzie in povestea vietii lui.

Este de-a dreptul frustrant sa afli asa ceva. Sa fii 50 de ani in ceva care se dovedeste fals, nu e simplu deloc. Altii 30, altii 15 ani.

De ce a facut Branham asta? Nu stiu. Sa impresioneze pe oameni? Chiar nu stiu. A avut vreo afectiune psihica ascunsa afara de nevrotism? 

Un om normal nu face asa ceva. Un slujitor public sanatos la cap, nu inventeaza povesti azi, iar maine spune exact opusul lor cu aceeasi determinare. 

Un profet adevarat nu greseste niciodata in adevar, in revelatie, in Cuvant, ci doar ca om, fireste, natural.

Sau nevrotismul de care se plangea Branham, l-a afectat atat de tare incat nu era constient ce spune azi ca apoi sa spuna exact invers maine? 

Multumim frate Collins pentru documentarea corecta si impartiala.
