Believe the Bible Over Personal "Revelations"

Divider

My name is John Kennah. I created this website along with the discussion forum, "Examining the Message of William Branham," in 2001 as an outreach to people who follow William Branham as a prophet, and as a resource for those who want to know more about him and his Message. May this website glorify Jesus Christ by proclaiming His Gospel and alerting the world to the serious errors of teaching, prophecy, and tales of the miraculous which is the Message of William Branham.

This website is not a comprehensive critique of William Branham’s teachings or the Message movement. Rather, it is a collection of obversvations I've made from personal study while I was in the Message, and the years since leaving. What I have discovered has convinced me that the Message is not an accurate representation of biblical truth.

Are you a follower of the Message of William Branham or do you know someone who is? Do you have questions about the Message that you have longed to ask but were afraid of being judged as a doubter of the prophet—or even worse, "serpent's seed?" Do you struggle with certain things that William Branham taught that just don't seem right and have no one to discuss them with? Have you seen an absence of the "signs following" in your life and now wonder if you're even saved? Has the Message church you attend taken control of your life? Do you live in fear of someone finding out about your questions and doubts?

Maybe you are not a follower of the Message but you have loved ones who are. Perhaps you've seen friendships severed or family members distance themselves from you because you don't believe the Message of William Branham. You may find yourself wishing you knew what "The Message" is all about.

I spent nearly 10 years of my life following, studying, and preaching the Message of William Branham. I no longer follow the Message, but I have learned much in the many years since I was introduced to it in 1980 that may be helpful to those of you who have read this far. I am not a trained counselor nor an ordained minister, but I love Jesus Christ and strive to pattern my life according to the written Word of God, the Bible. I would be more than happy to answer your questions concerning Wm. Branham's teachings and how they relate to Scripture, as I am able.

If you are a follower of the Message, I hope you will be challenged by this Website to search the scriptures as the Bereans did to verify for yourself whether the Message really does line up with biblical truth (Acts 17:10-11). If you're not a Message believer, maybe it will give you the insight you need to speak more knowledgeably with a friend or a relative who does follow the Message. In either case, my prayer is that you will in some way benefit from my experience with the Message and that you and yours will find encouragement and a closer, more biblically based walk with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
