NEW GANISM HERESIES:

GARDEN OF EDEN, NEW JERUSALEM ETC.

CHAPTER FOUR

Heretical Article No. 615: “The Garden spoken of in Genesis 2: 9B is not the Garden of Eden. In the midst of the Garden is the midst of the human body.”

Quote Richard Gan: … not all the "trees" (in Scriptures) were literal trees, neither were they the same type of "trees". Likewise the word "garden" does not necessary mean a literal garden. It could symbolise the soul (Jer.31:12), the shrine (Isa.65:3), or the human body (Songs of Solomon 4-8). The basic meaning of "garden" whether literal, symbolic or spiritual, is an enclosure i) where a seed can be planted to reproduce itself; ii) cultivated for public enjoyment. While the Garden of Eden is a literal garden, the "garden" mentioned in Genesis 2:9b is not that Garden of Eden. (The serpent seed, the original sin).

E.O.D.H. Answer: Please observe the similarity of Raymond “Junior” Jackson’s heresies on this subject:

Jackson’s Heresy: “The Garden of Eden was spiritual, and had nothing to do with how God planted trees, flowers, etc. It was a little bit of the spirit world placed here with man in this natural world. That same setting is referred to as a city.”

E.O.D.H. Answer: Utter foolishness “chief”, you wear me out with your foolishness! I could not imagine that two men could speak and believe such a heresy about the Garden of Eden and spiritualize it. This is a dumb doctrine, no wonder why, nobody ever challenged you on your heresies, because it’s a waste of time. But E.O.D.H. has taken up this challenge to prove that you are not so bright after all, but is spiritually dumb calling yourself a chief apostle.

Heretical Article No. 616: The two trees were two laws that governed sexual reproduction.

Quote Richard Gan: "Tree of Life", "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil", "In the midst of the garden", and "Eat", and MEDITATE upon them for awhile. We will understand that the human body is the garden, and in the midst of the garden is the sexual reproductive organ. And two laws govern that sexual reproductive organ. (Remember, two trees stood in the midst of the garden, not side by side Gen. 2:9). The Divine Way or Law of Life is symbolised by the Tree of Life. The Perverted Way or Law of Death is symbolised by the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. These two Laws (Trees) are diametrically opposed to each other. (The Serpent Seed The Original Sin pt. 2.)

E.O.D.H. Answer: How can this infidel and heretic speak such blasphemies in the face of the almighty God who revealed the mystery of God to his prophet, William Branham, the fulfillment of Revelation 10: 7 and Malachi 4: 5-6. Gan is definitely out of his mind. Reports are that he was treated at a mental home. This heresy is expressed madness. Here is the prophet’s teaching. You have a choice to follow a mad man or the message of a vindicated prophet.

HE WAS THE TREE OF LIFE

Quote W.M.B.: 97-5 Now that Tree back there in Eden, that Tree which was the source of life, was Jesus. In John, chapters six through eight, Jesus sets Himself forth as the source of eternal life. He called Himself the Bread from heaven. He spoke of giving Himself and that if a man ate of Him he would never die. He proclaimed that He knew Abraham, and that before Abraham, He WAS. He prophesied that He Himself would give them living waters that if man drank he would never thirst again, but would live eternally. He showed Himself as the GREAT I AM. He is the Bread Of Life, the Well Of Life, the Eternal One, the TREE OF LIFE. He was back there in Eden in the midst of the garden even as He will be in the midst of the paradise of God. (Ephesian Church Age - Church Age Book Cpt.3).

Quote: 102-2 … there were TWO trees in the midst of the garden. The Tree of Life was Jesus. The other tree is definitely Satan because of what came forth of the fruit of that tree. (Ephesian Church Age - Church Age Book Cpt.3).

THE RIGHTEOUS & THE WICKED ONE STOOD SIDE BY SIDE

Quote: 98-3 All right. If the Tree Of Life is a person, then the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is a person ALSO. It can't be otherwise. Thus the Righteous One and the Wicked One stood side by side there in the midst of the Garden of Eden. Ezekiel 28:13a "Thou (Satan) hast been in Eden, the garden of God." (Ephesian Church Age - Church Age Book Cpt.3).

Heretical Article No. 617: “The tree of Life and the knowledge of good and evil were two laws and not two persons.”

Quote Richard Gan: Laws Not Persons. Due to their lack of spiritual understanding of the Word of God and the teaching of the Laodicean Church Age Messenger, William M. Branham, certain Bible believers insist that the two "trees" "in the midst of the garden" were Jesus Christ and Satan, or…standing side by side in the Garden of Eden…Such erroneous teachings are based on the misunderstanding of certain words used in the Scriptures.

… Genesis 2:9b does not say that the two trees stood side by side in the midst of the Garden of Eden. Also, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, could not have been there in the Garden of Eden as He was not yet born. Genesis 2:9b merely states "the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil." The two trees are two laws which govern the sexual reproductive organ which is found in the middle part of the human body (the garden). The Tree of Life is the Divine Way or Law of Life. It is the Divine Truth given by the Divine God for eternal (divine) life. Proverbs 3:18 says, "She (that is, wisdom, verses 13 and 19, which is the personification of the Creative Divine Word of Life) is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her." (The Serpent Seed The Original Sin pt. 2.)

E.O.D.H. Answer:

Quote W.M.B.: 79 And the Tree which is in the midst of the paradise of God, and he will eat from (See?), the Tree." Which, the Tree was Christ Jesus. See? And Christ Jesus, being dead, He come back in the form of the Holy Spirit. So He's here, and the manna that's eaten in the Church. (The Seven Church Ages 54-0512).

Heretical Article No. 618: “People could have nibbled at the tree of life but not eat of it.”

Richard Gan: When Death entered the Garden, the Man and the Woman were driven out of the Garden and Life was withheld from them. The way into the Garden was from the east — the 'eastern gate'. Since that day, it has been guarded by God's ministering angels (cherubim) and a flaming sword which turned every way so that mankind could never eat directly and wholly of that Tree of Life (Gen.3:22-24) although a chosen group may be permitted to 'nibble' at It. (The Holy City, New Jerusalem Pt. 1.).

E.O.D.H. Answer: Mr. Gan, where did you get that nonsense about the tree of life? It sounds so foolish. Don’t you understand that the way to the tree of life was guarded by cherubims? How man ever got to the tree to nibble on it? Foolish man, Jesus was that way, the truth and the very tree of life. Man could only eat of it since the Christ cleared the way. Away with your nibbling heresy. You are nibbling on the souls of men like a rat.

THE HOLY SPIRIT GUARDED THE TREE OF LIFE TIL

THE ATONEMENT WAS MADE

Quote W.M.B.: E-20 The Holy Spirit guarded the Tree of Life until the Atonement was made, and now the Holy Spirit is running the people to the Tree of Life. Adam and Eve was trying to get to the Tree of Life…And Jesus Christ is the Tree of Life. (The True And False Vines 56-0311a).

Quote: 49 God put Seraphims there, guarding that Tree, that no one would touch It. Now, He's got Seraphims out trying to drive them in to the Tree. Them day--they seen the vision, they wanted to the Tree, to get back without an atonement. But now after the atonement's made, the devil's blinding them, turn them this way from the Tree. Notice. (Jehovah Jireh 2 62-0706).

Heretical Article No. 619: “The Garden of Eden is the land of Israel.”

Quote Richard Gan: … the garden of Eden (which is the land of Israel), even to this day… the garden of Eden was Israel. (From the website…2, The revelation of the flaming sword page 1, 4).

…By the revelation given unto me by the Lord, let me establish the location of Eden and its Garden…It was the Land of CANAAN. (Taken from Gan’s website: Where is the Garden of Eden?)

E.O.D.H. Answer: Gan was not sent to reveal the mystery of God. William Branham was foreordained to fulfill that mission. The proud spirit of Gan has betrayed him to exalt himself like Lucifer against Michael. He thinks he has the first prize and is revealing mysteries that were not revealed by the prophet. We believe Branham and do not mind being called Branhamites by the heretic Gan.

THEY CLAIM THAT THE GARDEN OF EDEN WAS LOCATED NEAR BABYLON

Quote W.M.B.: E-13 ….we are told that the streets of Babylon were two hundred feet across... And not only that, but their agriculture program. They have the best...?... in all the world today to compare with that valley now. You can raise almost anything there: perfect irrigation. They claim that the garden of Eden was located near there. (The Sign Of The Time 58-0520).

NEW JEREUSALEM HERESIES

Heretical Article No. 620: “Brother Branham’s teaching on the New Jerusalem does not make sense to Mr. Gan.”

Richard Gan: For years, even when I was in the the A.o.G. church, I have held the belief that the Holy City, New Jerusalem would be composed of the redeemed saints of God of all ages. I have never read or heard any teaching on the subject which made sense to me. (The Holy City, New Jerusalem Pt. 1).

E.O.D.H. Answer: This is a good example of people coming to the message and bringing over their seeds from the harlot organizations. If Gan truly had the Holy Ghost, it would guide him into the truth that the Spirit spoke by the prophet. Brother Branham’s teaching on the New Jerusalem was a revelation from almighty God. To speak against it is to blaspheme.

HERE’S A DEEP REVELATION FROM GOD

Quote W.M.B.: 49-5 Here's a deep revelation from God... the City is

measured, fifteen hundred miles square… That is the pyramid. Foursquare--lieth foursquare. (The Future Home Of The Heavenly Bridegroom And The Earthly Bride 64-0802).

Heretical Article No. 621: “New Jerusalem is not literal.”

Richard Gan: …an Endtime Message minister wrote a booklet in which he taught that the HOLY CITY, NEW JERUSALEM would be a literal city which would hang directly above the old city of Jerusalem in the Eternal Age.

… Many may picture the HOLY CITY, NEW JERUSALEM as a literal physical city of gigantic size as described in the last two chapters of the Book of Revelation. (The Holy City, New Jerusalem Pt. 1.).

… the Holy City, New Jerusalem is not a literal city! … Therefore, the dimension of its length, breadth and height shows us the volume of its size, giving us an idea of the large number who are redeemed and clothed with Glorified Bodies. (Notice the number of times the number 12,000 is used — 3 times 12,000. This tells us of the completeness of the Holy City and the perfection of God's control, rule or government.) (The Holy City, New Jerusalem Pt. 2.).

E.O.D.H. Answer: The prophet said that it is a literal place. Who do you believe?

CHRIST IS IN HEAVEN CONSTRUCTING THAT CITY NOW

Quote W.M.B.: 42-3 And in the new earth, there is a new City…that

Jesus said in John 14, He would go to prepare…I'm going to prepare a place for you. In My Father's house is many mansions. In My Father's Kingdom is many palaces." Christ is there under the construction of this New Jerusalem now.

… And Christ is gone and is preparing a place (that's been on its construction for many, many thousands of years), preparing a place. "And if I go and prepare a place, I will come again, and receive you, that wherever I am, there you may be also." Notice, the Redeemer and the redeemed. (The Future Home Of The Heavenly Bridegroom And The Earthly Bride 64-0802).

Quote: 49-5... the City is measured, fifteen hundred miles square… That would make it fifteen hundred miles this way, fifteen hundred miles that way, fifteen hundred miles the length by the breadth by the height. Fifteen hundred miles…

That doesn't necessarily mean that it's a cube or square. There is another geographical measure that the dimensions are the same. That is the pyramid. Foursquare--lieth foursquare. (The Future Home Of The Heavenly Bridegroom And The Earthly Bride 64-0802).

Notice the similarity of Raymond “Junior” Jackson’s heresy on this subject:

Jackson’s heresy: “The New Jerusalem in Revelation 21, is called the Lamb's wife. If you literalize that city and say it is a city made up of natural mineral substance, you will have to settle as fact that you believe in polygamy. It is spiritually referred to as a city.”

E.O.D.H. Answer: Elder Jackson. The city represents the Lamb’s wife. Anybody with a limited understanding of reading can understand that Revelation 21 fits the description of a literal city. The major prophet Malachi 4:5&6 used the same scripture to preach Future Home of the Bride and Bridegroom. His understanding was that it is a literal city. Who are you to say differently? Are you God, or greater than God who gave him that revelation? Since you are not God, we will believe the prophet. Your nonsensical blind excuse to invent this heresy cannot stand the word test. Christ is not a “Polygamist”. Whoever heard such unintelligent excuse? Don’t you understand as a chief apostle that the city was a type of the bride of Christ? If you deny that, how would you explain the description of the city to fit the bride? She is not 1500 miles square and streets of Gold. You will have to invent another heresy. The city comes down while the bride is on the earth at the end of the 1000 year rain. That shows that this doctrine is of the devil.

Quote W.M.B.: 50-4 Fifteen hundred miles square. What a City. But remember the sea is gone. And the breadth and the height are the same. That would make it fifteen hundred miles this way, fifteen hundred miles that way, fifteen hundred miles the length by the breadth by the height. Fifteen hundred miles (Think of it.) transparent gold. And the City had a wall around it. (Future Home 64-0802).

Heretical Article No. 622: “The Garden of Eden was both literal and spiritual. Spiritually it was being in the presence of God.”

Quote Richard Gan: God drove Adam out of the garden of Eden…This passage of Scripture is both literal and figurative. Though the garden of Eden was a literal place.

… Adam was not only separated from the natural garden where he dwelled but also from that spiritual Garden of God where God’s Presence truly dwelled. (From the website…2, The revelation of the flaming sword pages 1 to 3).

Expulsion From The Presence Of God…It wasn't just a specific location from which God had driven them… The couple were actually driven from the Eternal Presence of God…They were actually dwelling in the Glorious Presence of the Almighty…They were driven away from God's Glorious Presence of Eternal Life. (The Mark Of The Wicked Ones, pages 1 to 2).

E.O.D.H. Answer:

“IS THE NEW JERUSALEM SPIRITUAL?” NO.

Quote W.M.B.: 685-201 …the last question here was: "Is the new Jerusalem spiritual?" No, no, the new Jerusalem John saw coming from God out of heaven, it isn't the discernment of the church now. You see?... The new Jerusalem John saw descending out of heaven prepared as a--Revelation 21 (See?)--prepared as a bride adored for her Husband... (Questions And Answers 61-1015m).

Notice the similarity of Raymond “Junior” Jackson’s Heresy on this subject:

Jackson’s Heresy: “When God drove Adam and Eve from the garden. God lifted His presence from them and simply removed that heavenly setting from their midst and left them with those things that pertain only to earthly activity.”

E.O.D.H. Answer: This is gross unbelief and perversion of the written word. “Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.” (Genesis 3:23). They were sent out of the Garden. Not the garden left them, as you are saying, which you interpreted to be the glory of God. You could never make your heresy fit the scripture above. Adam went out of the Garden to till the ground.

Heretical Article No. 623: “The garden of Eden holds the secret of the mystery of New Jerusalem.”

Richard Gan: To have an understanding of the Holy City, New Jerusalem, we need to look at the loci of the GARDEN OF EDEN and the City of David called JERUSALEM. They hold the mystery to the Holy City, New Jerusalem. (The Holy City, New Jerusalem Pt. 1.).

… THE HOUSE OF THE LORD was in the City of Jerusalem…

…(Don't you notice the hidden mystery of the Spiritual Jerusalem?) Yes, the city, Jerusalem, on Mount Zion is God's habitation forever…)

… The Land of Canaan was the very place where the Garden of Eden was located… the Lord God had chosen that place to make His Presence known and to put His Name in the midst of it. (The Holy City, New Jerusalem Pt. 1.).

E.O.D.H. Answer:

THEY CLAIM THAT THE GARDEN OF EDEN WAS LOCATED NEAR BABYLON

Quote W.M.B.: E-13 …we are told that the streets of Babylon were two hundred feet across... And not only that, but their agriculture program. They have the best...? ...in all the world today to compare with that valley now. You can raise almost anything there: perfect irrigation. They claim that the garden of Eden was located near there. (The Sign Of The Time 58-0520).

Notice the similarity of Raymond “Junior” Jackson’s Heresy on this subject:

Jackson’s heresy: “The Garden of Eden was spiritual, and had nothing to do with how God planted trees, flowers, etc. It was a little bit of the spirit world placed here with man in this natural world. That same setting is referred to as a city.”

Heretical Article No. 624: “The New Jerusalem is the people of God from the time of Adam to the end of the White Throne Judgment. This is the City Abraham looked for. It will be completed after the White Throne Judgment.”

Quote Richard Gan: NEW JERUSALEM is nothing less than the Glorified Spiritual body of the people of God who have been redeemed throughout the ages since Adam was created until the time Death is destroyed by Jesus Christ.

…Now, this is the “very city which…Abraham, the Father of our Faith had looked for. It will be completed after the Great White Throne Judgement. (The Holy City, New Jerusalem Pt. 2)

E.O.D.H. Answer:

MY HOME SWEET HOME

Quote W.M.B.: 344-857 And I, John, saw the holy city, the New Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." …There he said, "The wife... The Lamb and the Bride will be there forever."…Oh, there'll be such beauty. And in there, there's a fountain right at the throne of God, that flows before the throne. There's a tree on either side of the… river of Life... My home, sweet home... Amen. (Questions And Answers On Hebrews 3 57-1006).

A DWELLING PLACE FOR CHRIST AND HIS BRIDE

Quote: 49-2 Your body was justified under Noah's baptism... And the earth is to be cleansed by fire (the place where you live) with the baptism of the Holy Ghost, a dwelling place for Christ and His Bride, the New Jerusalem. Watch this City. (The Future Home Of The Heavenly Bridegroom And The Earthly Bride 64-0802).

Heretical Article No. 625: “The New Jerusalem is placed throughout the earth.”

Quote Richard Gan: And They Shall Walk By The Precious Light Which Illuminates From THE TABERNACLE OF GOD, THE HOLY CITY, Which Is The GLORIFIED SAINTS, Who Will Be Placed Throughout The New Earth… the members of the Holy City, New Jerusalem will be scattered throughout the New Earth. (The Holy City, New Jerusalem Pt. 2).

E.O.D.H. Answer:

THE NEW JERUSALEM WILL BE IN PALESTINE

Quote W.M.B.: 979-Q-273 I said that when I was measuring the New Jerusalem, that it would be fifteen hundred miles square…I said the city, to my opinion, will be setting right on the ground where prophet Abraham searched for that city, when there'll be no more sea…I believe it'll set in that little place where they fuss so much about, and God was born, there in Bethlehem. I believe it'd be right along in Palestine there, where it'll raise up out of the earth right there and be that mountain. (Questions.And.Answers.1 64-0823m).

THE KINGS OF THE EARTH ENTER INTO THAT CITY

Quote: 54-1 And didn't Jesus said, "You'll set on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel"? Who set at the gate to judge when they come into the City? Oh, my, there you are. The kings of the earth, entering into the City, comes before the apostolic judge, as Jesus promised. (The Future Home Of The Heavenly Bridegroom And The Earthly Bride 64-0802).

Heretical Article No. 626: “The New Jerusalem will not descend in Jerusalem. That will not be its location.”

Quote Richard Gan: The city of Jerusalem…In the Age of Regeneration, the city will measure 12 miles by 12 miles. If the Holy City, in the New Heaven and New Earth, is literal, how will it fit into the locality of the Land of Israel? (The Holy City, New Jerusalem Pt. 2.).

E.O.D.H. Answer:

Quote W.M.B.: 979-Q-273 I said that when I was measuring the New Jerusalem, that it would be fifteen hundred miles square. I said it would reach approximately from Maine to Florida, and six hundred miles west of the Mississippi; that would be fifteen hundred square miles. I said the city, to my opinion, will be setting right on the ground where prophet Abraham searched for that city, when there'll be no more sea. The Bible said there'd be no more sea, which about three-fourths of the earth is in water. And there'll be no more sea; so therefore, it won't be too big a city setting in a place like that. I believe it'll set in that little place where they fuss so much about, and God was born, there in Bethlehem. I believe it'd be right along in Palestine there, where it'll raise up out of the earth right there and be that mountain. (Questions And Answers 64-0823m).

Quote: 56-1 Why is it God so thought and cared so much about that little place of Palestine (See?) when it's just a little spot? But right in there is where the temple will set. That's where the New Jerusalem will break up right there. Olive... Mount of Olives shall cleave part to the right and left (sure) when she pushes up from the beneath. Now, if they said pushing apart like this... It's pushing up, in that day when He stands, His holy feet upon the mountain... (The Future Home Of The Heavenly Bridegroom And The Earthly Bride 64-0802).

Heretical Article No. 627: “City lieth foursquare means that the Bride is from the four corners of the earth.”

Richard Gan: That the Holy City, New Jerusalem is perfect and chosen of God is again shown by the number 12 in the measurement of the CITY, which “lieth foursquare”, that is, the length and the breadth are equal, 12,000 furlongs by 12,000 furlongs. The height is also 12,000 furlongs… 4 denotes the earth. Hence, the uniform measurement of length, breadth and height speaks of completeness, and the four equal sides show us that the Lamb's Wife is redeemed out of the four corners of the earth. (The Holy City, New Jerusalem Pt. 2.).

E.O.D.H. Answer:

Quote W.M.B.: 50-4 …the breadth and the height are the same. That would make it fifteen hundred miles this way, fifteen hundred miles that way, fifteen hundred miles the length by the breadth by the height…That is the pyramid. Foursquare--lieth foursquare. (The Future Home Of The Heavenly Bridegroom And The Earthly Bride 64-0802).

Heretical Article No. 628: “The natural people in the new earth do not have supernatural bodies, so they cannot breathe at 1500 miles high.”

Richard Gan: The natural people in the New Earth do not have supernatural bodies. They will be like Adam and Eve before their fall. They will need oxygen to breathe. (Without special equipment, breathing is already impossible even at an altitude of 10 miles. Air thins out with increase altitude.) Hence, how are they going to approach the Throne of the Lord in that great height? (The Holy City, New Jerusalem Pt. 2.).

E.O.D.H. Answer: Yes, the Bride will have supernatural glorified bodies in the new world. Nonsense, Mr. Gan. How did Brother Branham survive when he was caught up in the Cloud of seven angels?

Jesus had a supernatural body. He went up into the highest heaven.

Heretical Article No. 629: “The age of regeneration is in the millennium.”

Quote Richard Gan: The Age Of Regeneration — The Millennial Reign Of Christ…

Anointed kings of Israel, like Solomon and David, reflected The Anointed King Who will reign over the earth in the Age of Regeneration… During the Millennial Reign of Christ, the Age of Regeneration (Matt.19:28). (The Holy City, New Jerusalem Pt. 2).

Notice the similarity of Raymond “Junior” Jackson’s Heresy on this subject:

Heretical Article No. 630: “Matthew 19th chapter, this word regeneration used by Jesus, is applicable to an age of time, thousand year reign and age of regeneration…”

E.O.D.H. Answer: Both Mr. Gan and Jackson are inventors of the same heresies. They are supposed to be two of the seven men who are the seven thunders, as they claim. This heresy is contrary to the scriptures and message of the prophet. Christ reigns for a thousand years as the son of David, not son of man. Jesus told his apostles that they were following him in the regeneration. The church is a chosen generation, by the new birth. {1 Peter 2:9}. The theology of Jackson and Gan is dumb like a theologian. (Matthew :19:28). This heresy was previously exposed as heretical article # 483

Quote W.M.B.: 246 There’s got to be a regeneration, a new birth, a born again. (Mark of the Beast 54-0513).

Heretical Article No. 631: “Matthew19:28 and 25:31-46 is fulfilled before the thousand year reign.”

Quote Richard Gan: Christ will then sit upon the Throne of David (cf. Isa.9:6-7; Luk.1:31-33) and in His glory He will judge all nations that are gathered before Him (Matt.19:28; 25:31-46) prior to His Reign over the earth for a thousand years. (From the website…2, The revelation of the flaming sword page 5).

… those who could survive the Great Tribulation and be judged as “sheep” would be given life to repopulate the earth in the Age of Regeneration (Matt.25:31-46 cf. Rev.13:8). Out of that thousand years of regeneration only those whose names are in the Book of Life will be saved. (The Holy City, New Jerusalem Pt. 2).

E.O.D.H. Answer: Message believer deceived by Gan and company must decide which message they desire to follow: Gan’s or William. M. Branham’s. This heresy of Gan is able by itself to prove the infidelity of this heretic. The prophet is saying Matthew 25: 31-46 will be fulfilled at the White Throne. Gan is saying it’s before the thousand years reign of Christ. His infidelity and satanic attack upon the prophet and his message were expressed in a clear manner when he stated that Christ sits upon the throne of David before the thousand years reign. That throne is not set up upon earth before that period of time. There is no scripture for it. Gan certainly forgot to take his medication for his mental problems.

Quote W.M.B.: 274-3 There is another point to see here. In the great White Throne judgment there will be a separation of people. The Book of Life will be opened and another book will be opened.

Matthew 25:31-46… and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on His left.

…There will be both the righteous and the unrighteous in this judgment.

… Now we all know that John 5:28-29 is NOT THE RAPTURE for only the dead in Christ will arise from the graves at that time along with the living bride who still is on the earth.

…This is the very same resurrection that is spoken of in Revelation 20:11-15 wherein THE DEAD were brought before the Lord and judged according to their works, and all whose names were not in the Book of Life were then cast into the lake of fire.

…Now let us be very clear here. These are not nations being judged and going into the millennium because they have harbored and helped the Jews. (Sardisean Church Age - Church Age Book Cpt.7).

Heretical Article No. 632: “Gan’s intellectual knowledge is spiritual understanding of truth given by the Holy Spirit.”

Quote Richard Gan: Several Branhamite preachers have sarcastically called me “intellectual” in their disagreement with my doctrines…they have misunderstood Bro. Branham’s usage of the words. There is intellectual knowledge and there is intellectual knowledge. One is carnal postulation based…The other is spiritual revelation, spiritual understanding of truth given by the Holy Spirit in accordance to His Own Word. …God is intellectual…a believer does possess spiritual intellect. “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:…” (From the website…2, The revelation of the flaming sword - pages 7 & 8).

E.O.D.H. Answer: Which do you possess Mr. Gan? Obviously not that of the Holy Ghost, or you would not reason with the Word and message and bend, twist and pervert them out of context in every form and fashion as you have done. This is the same kind the serpent possessed. It’s earthly, sensual and devilish.

<But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.> (James 3: 14-15).

THE INTELLECT WILL REASON WITH THE WORD

Quote W.M.B.: E-18 Many people have faith by their intellects; others have faith by their soul. Now, the intellect up here, will reason with the Word of God, "It's not reasonable." But the soul doesn't reason at all, it says, "It's the truth." And that settles it. It's... See, the soul believes it. The intellect will say, "I wonder, it might've been for a day gone by. I... That might've been for the disciples, or that might been something... Not for us now because we're living in a different day."

But the soul says, "Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." No reasoning, doesn't reason at all. It believes. (Jesus Christ The Same Yesterday Today And Forever 55-0806).

GOD CHOSE THE HEART, THE DEVIL CHOSE THE INTELLECT

Quote: E-49 As I said the other night, in the garden of Eden the devil chose a part of a man, and God chose a part. God chose his heart. The devil chose his intellect. And now today, the church today, depends everything upon the intellect, and never thinking of the heart. See?...His intellects would tell him that. That's his reasoning. But the Bible said, "We cast down reasoning." Cast them away from us. (Abraham's Covenant Confirmed 61-0318).

OUR INTELLECT IS THE HOLY GHOST

Quote: E-46 Our great, famous Pentecostal movement, now before a missionary can go overseas… they have to go before a psychiatrist to see if their intellect is right. You're backslid when you get that. Right. Who is our intellect? It's the Holy Ghost, Jesus. (It Is I Be Not Afraid 61-0213).

Quote: 12-3 God that called him was taking him back and changing all of his intellect, changing all that he ever thought, all that he trained to be, all of his ambitions, just wiped it away from him, and he became a prisoner. (A Prisoner 63-0717).

Heretical Article No. 633: “The renewing of your mind is the renewing of your intellect.”

Quote Richard Gan: “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind (that is, your intellect), that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (Rom.12:2). “For who hath known the mind (that is, the intellect) of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind (that is, the intellect) of Christ” (1Cor.2:16). (From the website…2, The revelation of the flaming sword pages 8 to 9).

E.O.D.H. Answer: “We have the mind of Christ.” This is not the intellect of Christ. It is the person of Jesus Christ coming into the believer.

<At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.> (John 14: 20).

Quote W.M.B.: 241 He wants to transform you by the renewing of your mind, not to the church or to the denomination, but to His Word. (God's Power To Transform 65-0911).

Quote: 37 Romans, the 12th chapter… And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…Now, that we have been saved, as we are; and that we have been filled with the Holy Spirit, as we have; now we want the mind that was in Christ to be in us, that we might be transformed from the natural things of life, and be brought in to do the perfect will of God by transformation of God's Spirit by His Word. Now, my subject is: "The Power Of Transformation." (Power Of Transformation 65-1031m).

Heretical Article No. 634: “Paul was not the chief apostle. The doctrine of a chief apostle is erroneous.”

Quote Richard Gan: To propagate this heretical teaching, several scripture verses have been taken out of context to profile an image that Paul was actually the chief apostle among all the other apostles in his days. … If Paul was the chief apostle why did he say:

"For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles…Paul was simply saying that as an apostle, he was equal to all the other apostles and that he was certainly not inferior.

…To say that Paul was "the chief" would decry Peter’s position… there is one who is truly THE CHIEF. He is called THE CHIEF SHEPHERD… For one to teach and make a servant of God "the chief apostle", he has been deceived by the Nicolaitane spirit. He is bringing back that doctrine of the Nicolaitanes into the church… an "ARCH" over a bishop above all other bishops ― an ARCHBISHOP! (Gan’s website. Questions and answers).

E.O.D.H. Answer: Mr. Gan is trying to shield his pride by raising this topic, since in a previous discussion by letter with me he was confused on this subject and uttered some foolishness and was defeated. How I address his foolish defense above. Jesus Christ is the chief Shepherd. That makes Him the chief apostle (sent one). He is also the High (chief) Priest. Christ made Paul the chief apostle to the Gentiles, and Peter the chief apostle to the Jews. Where is Gan’s heresy of “Peter decried by Paul, Nicolaitanism, Archbishop etc.?” Other chief apostles existed or Paul would not use the term “chiefest apostle.” That answers Gan’s foolish assertion. When you claim to have the first prize, you claimed to be the chief apostle of the age, but you are chief heretic.

GAN COMING AGAINST E.O.D.H.

Quote Richard Gan’s website: I was given a book entitled: "Exposition of Damnable Heresies, Book Ten". Someone sent it to me I believe you might have one. Many of the answers given to questions are very opinionated and confusing. There is this one particular question and answer that I want you to comment. It reads:

Question#137: "I am a minister of the message. I was married before I came. I want to obey every commandment of God. My wife is worldly and don't want to hear the message, what must I do: separate from her for the ministry or leave the ministry?"

Here is a portion of the answer that really puzzles me. Some words are even highlighted in bold:

"... Now, it is even wrong for a believer to allow his wife to be worldly in his house and continue to live with her, and much more so for a minister. A wife must live under certain conditions if she will continue to live with you as a believer!... You cannot command her. Let her know that these are the requirements to qualify you. And she may say, "Mister gentleman, if I don't do that, what is the decision?" "Well lady, if you will continue to walk as you walk, in the process of time, I may have to separate in order to qualify as a Christian. I don't expect you to change overnight; I am inviting you to church, would you please go with me and see where I am going, see what I am hearing and what I am believing?"

(1) A. Brother, someone had also sent me a copy of this book. I have also received several emails asking if I have read it and asking if I could comment on some of the teachings. I want to say that I am not a corrector of other ministers' teachings.

(2) The preacher who answered this question did not comprehend the differences between the ministries of the "Ascension Gifts" (of Ephesians 4) and the Presbytery.

(3) This is nothing but heresy. On the contrary, Paul said: "If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away" (1 Cor.7:12). Paul did not force any other condition on the wife nor tell the husband to BEG his wife to live according to "certain conditions if she will continue to live with you as a believer!..."

E.O.D.H. Answer: Mr. Gan, in opposition to the answer given to Question 137, E.O.D.H. Book 10, Page 51, has again displayed his folly. He has contradicted the written Word and message of Malachi 4: 5-6. He has perverted I Corinthians 7:12 to justify his heresy which allows a minister’s wife to live worldly in his house and also his daughters. Worldliness includes immoral dressing, conduct and other sins. Is this heretic telling us that a believer’s or preacher’s wife and daughter can wear pants, shorts, live in whoredom, cuss, smoke, gamble, have rock-n-roll party in the home and Gan wear his Lungi (skirt) and say, “My wife is pleased to dwell with me?” One preacher asked where is Gan’s wife and why is she never seen with him. Why is he defending this heresy? I am inquisitive to know what is the moral conduct of Gan’s wife and family members. He was lifting the wedding veil of his daughter. I asked what is the meaning of it and got no answer. The photograph was removed from his website.

Mr. Gan has correctly stated that he is not a corrector of other ministers’ teachings. Heresies cannot correct the truth nor can they defend the claims of heretics. Hence the feeble effort of this misled man in opposing E.O.D.H. His big intellectual brain overlooked Matthew 19 that promised a blessing upon the man who forsakes his wife for the gospel’s sake. Why did he have to forsake his wife, Mr. Gan? It is for the same reason that the prophet established. You are not a believer of God’s Word nor the message of Malachi 4: 5-6.

Quote W.M.B.: 1183-Q-429 429. Brother Branham, the Bible tells us that a wife should obey her husband. I am a Christian and my husband is a sinner. He persecutes me in every way that he can, and for me not to go to church, and read my Bible, and--and denies the Word. What should I do?

…Now, listen, you're supposed to obey your husband; that's the Word. Now, if he tells you and refuses you to read the Bible, go to church, or something like that, you don't have to obey that, because, "He that won't forsake his father, mother, husband, wife, or whatever it is and follow Me, is not worthy of Mine." That right?

... A man's not supposed to use that authority over a woman just because he's her ruler. God is her ruler above you, brother. See? And if your wife is doing something wrong, then you got a right to tell her, and she's supposed to listen to you. (Questions & Answers #4 64-0830).

YOU PUPPET-HOW COULD YOU MAKE A PREACHER OR A DEACON?

Quote: E-45 You set around, let your wife act like that, and dress like that, and say nothing about it. Well, you puppet. How would you ever make a preacher? How would you make a deacon? If you can't control your own house, what are you going to do in the house of God? (Door to the heart 58-0302).

HE’S SO SISIFIED HE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT HE BELONGS TO

Quote: E-59 Any man that’ll let his wife smoke cigarettes and wear shorts, I got little respect of him even being a man. He’s so sissified he don’t even know what he belongs to. He ain’t a man…That shows who’s boss around your house…What we need today is men. (Seal of God 61-0216).

LITTLE HOPES OF YOU EVEN BEING A MAN

Quote: E-89 Any man’d let his wife get out there, and wear shorts, and these little old bathing suits, bikinis, or ever what it is, and lay out amongst these people. I got little hopes of you even being a man. That’s right. (An Absolute. 63-0127).

I HAVE TO BE CHANGED AND PERVERTED TO EVER LIVE WITH MY WIFE

IF SHE’S DOING IT

Quote: 316-157 And you men that'll let your wives do those kind of things, I've got little hopes of you as a man. And that's right. Any man that'll let his wife get out on the street and act like that, brother, you ought to be wearing her clothes. That's right. I won't say my wife won't do it, but I have to be changed and perverted to what I am now if I ever live with her while she's doing it. (Hebrews Chapter 7 pt.1 57-0915e).

THAT’S THE DAY SHE AIN’T MRS. BRANHAM NO MORE

Quote: E-32 And you men, you poor little boneless back thing you, that'll let a woman, your wife walk around and blow cigarette smoke through her nose, and wear shorts, and act like that around your house, and you're not man enough... You are a poor substitute as a son of God. I don't say mine will never do it. If she ever lets down, the devil gets a hold of her, she'll do it; but that's the day she ain't Mrs. Branham no more. That's right. That's the truth. Stand up. God don't put wishbones in men. He puts backbones in men, Gospel bones, that'll stand for the truth.” (Mark Of The Beast 56-0715).

MAKE HER ACT LIKE A LADY – AS LONG AS SHE LIVED WITH YOU

Quote: 51 And you men, you poor, little, boneless, sissified things, you, that would let your wife do such a thing as that, that shows what you're made out of. That's the reason you ain't got the Holy Ghost like you profess to have, or you'd have enough something about you to make her act like a lady, as long as she lived with you anyhow. Amen. (Church and it’s condition 5/8/56).
