EXPOSITION OF ADDITIONAL HERESIES OF
“APOSTLE”
Heretical
Articles 659-671
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
As promised, we will now expose
additional heretical teachings of this self proclaimed apostle, that have come
to our knowledge and attention.
Heretical Article
No. 659: “The Law said that a woman who was divorced for
unfaithfulness could remarry.”
Quote Raymond
Jackson: Deuteronomy… 24:1,
“When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass… he hath
found some uncleanness in her: (IN OTHER WORDS,…HIS WIFE HAS BEEN UNFAITHFUL…) then let him write her a bill of divorcement…Verse 2, says, “And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and
be another man’s wife.”… The law says that this divorced woman may go and be another man’s wife. (Marriage and divorce).
E.O.D.H. Answer: The scripture quoted does not suggest in any way that the
woman in question was divorced for unfaithfulness. Apostle Jackson does not
even know the difference between uncleanness and unfaithfulness. Uncleanness in
this scripture does not mean unclean living, no more than a leper crying,
“Unclean” means that he was unfaithful to his marriage partner, if he had one.
NOT STATED AGAINST HIM TO
REMARRY, BUT NO GROUNDS FOR HER AT ALL
Quote W.M.B.: 37-1 See, she's got a living husband, so
no man can marry her. Care what she does and who she is, she's got a living
husband. There's no grounds for her at all. But it's not for him: causes her,
not him. Get it? You have to make the Word run in continuity. See? Nothing
saying he couldn't, but she can't. See? 'Causes her, not him. That's just
exactly what the Bible says. "Causes her..." It is not stated against
him to remarry, but her. (Marriage and Divorce
65-0221M).
Romans 7:2-3 <For the woman which hath
an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the
husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
So then if, while her husband liveth, she
be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her
husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress,
though she be married to another man. >
Matthew
Heretical Article
No. 660: “A believer
is not to divorce his wife.”
Quote Raymond
Jackson: Neither could that man who is a believer
divorce his wife…A believer is not to take the initiative in a divorce action.
(Marriage and divorce).
E.O.D.H.
Answer:
THE MAN CAN PUT AWAY HIS WIFE
Quote
W.M.B.: 39-1 The man can
put away his wife and marry another, but not the woman put away her husband and
marry another. (Marriage and divorce
65-0221M).
YOU COMMITTED ADULTERY
AGAINST YOUR HUSBAND HE CAN PUT YOU AWAY
Quote:
1014-86 You committed
adultery against your husband…If your husband continues to want to live with
you, that's up to him. He don't have to do it now…if he doesn't forgive you,
then that's his own business. He can put you away. Exactly right. (Questions
and answers 64-0823E).
<But I say unto you, That whosoever shall
put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit
adultery…> (Matthew
Heretical Article
No. 661: “The foolish virgins will wash their robes and make
them white in the blood of the lamb in the tribulation.”
Quote Raymond
Jackson: … the foolish
virgins, spoken of in Matthew 25:1-13, and seen over in the 7th chapter of Revelation as that great multitude that had
washed their robes, and made them white, in the blood of the Lamb. When? In the
great tribulation. Revelation 7:9-14.
E.O.D.H. Answer: The blood of the Lamb is removed from the mercy seat about the time of
the rapture. Therefore, no one can be washed by the blood in the great
tribulation period. The prophet of God said that the foolish virgins are not
actually under the blood; therefore they go through the tribulation for their
purging. Revelation 7: 9-14 is not speaking of the great tribulation but great
tribulation: troubles and trials.
Quote W.M.B.: 134-4 {120} ...the reason they die out, they go through the purging of
trial of the tribulation; because they’re not actually under the Blood. They claim they
are, but they’re not. How can they go through a trial to purify them when the
bleach Blood of Jesus Christ takes every symptom of sin and stuff away from
you. And you're already dead, and your life is hid in Him through God and
sealed in there by the Holy Ghost; what are you going to be judged for? Where
you going to get your purification? What do you have to be purified from when
you're perfectly in Christ, sinless?...But it's this sleeping bunch that them
people can't make out. (The First seal

THE GENTILE BRIDE
Quote: 245 ... These are they
which come up out of great tribulation,... (called "holy-roller,"
made fun of, persecuted, laughed at)... come up out of great tribulation, and
have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb...
(Watch!)... they are before the throne of God... (Where does the wife stay?
Where does the queen stay? That's the Bride, the Gentile Bride.)... and they
serve him day and night in the temple:... (My wife serves me at the house day
and night. See? That's the Bride of Jesus; that's the Gentile Bride.) (The Seal
Of God 54-0514).

No. 662: “Revelation Chapter 5 is Christ the mediator
sitting on the mercy seat as a High Priest.”
Quote Raymond
Jackson: Who did John see seated on the mercy seat throne
holding in his right hand a closed and sealed scroll, sealed with seven seals?
He saw none other than Jesus portrayed in a High Priest role seated on the
throne, serving in his mediatorial intercessory work for the believers of the
grace age. About the throne is seen a great halo because remember the great
eternal spirit who fills all space has taken Christ up and seated him on the
right hand of majesty, power and glory (Matt.
26:64) Therefore, as
your eyes behold him seated there in the position of the Father (that is on the
right hand of power and glory). (The catching away).
E.O.D.H. Answer:
IT WAS NOT A MERCY
SEAT
Quote W.M.B.: 105 But you notice in here, it
was not mercy seat, for
there was lightnings, and thunder, and voices. There’s no lightning and
thunders at mercy. That's judgment. (Revelation Chapter 4 #3 – Throne of mercy
and judgment).
Heretical Article
No. 663: “Christ is a High Priest, with a girdle upon His
paps in Revelation chapter one.”
Quote Raymond
Jackson: In the first
chapter you notice when Jesus got John's attention, John turned to see one that
was clothed in a white robe, and his hair was as white as snow, and his eyes
were as flames of fire, his feet like burning brass, and his voice as the sound
of many waters, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle which is that
emblem of the high priest's position. This was for the sole purpose of
declaring to John in pictorial form that Jesus who ascended on high is none
other than the high priest of our profession…and He remains to be the high
priest for the duration of the grace age. (Chronology of Revelation – Part 1).
E.O.D.H. Answer:
HE WAS NOT A
PRIEST – HE WAS A JUDGE
Quote W.M.B.: 167 And in the midst... (That’s the middle.)... of the golden
candlesticks one like... the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the
foot, and girded about the paps with a golden girdle.
Now, here’s more proof that this doctrine is right
about being the Lord’s day. Did you notice Him? He was not a priest during this
time; neither was He a king; He was a Judge.
Notice, a priest, a high priest, when he went into
the sanctuary or went in to minister, to service, he tied himself around the
waist. Tying his girdle around the waist, meant that he was serving: never tied
it over his shoulder. But here He comes out, walking out with the girdle tied
around the top, with a sash over His shoulder, girded about the paps, the
breast, with a golden girdle, girded up high. What is it? An attorney, a judge.
The judge with his sash over his shoulder, girded up here, not down as a
priest. See, that shows He wasn't in His priesthood now. John went all the way
over into the Lord's day and saw Him coming as the Judge. (
Quote: 171 ... a golden girdle was about the paps. That’s right, up around here,
He was the Judge. (
Quote: 39 And we find him in
the Lord's day. And, when he seen the Lord, He had on a snow-white hair. And we
know that that represents a Judge.
Another thing, He was not Priest
then, 'cause the priest was tied around the middle, means service. But He was
tied around the paps, up here, which meant
that He was a Judge. Amen. And we see Him walking in the midst
of the seven golden candlesticks. (The
Heretical
Article No. 664: “To be
born again is to be baptized with the Holy Ghost.”
Quote
Raymond Jackson: …to be born again is to be baptized with
the Holy Ghost… (In Search Of The
Evidence - What Is It?).
… Remember the
new birth is not one thing while the baptism of the Holy Ghost is something
else… Christ knew since they had not yet received the Holy Ghost they had not
as yet been born again!...(Luke 22:32)…Beloved, if the new birth or
being converted or being saved was anywhere applicable unto any disciples
before the day of Pentecost, then all Christ ever said prior to Acts 1:4-8 had no real value! (The new birth).
E.O.D.H.
Answer: The doctrine on
this subject is opposite to the Word, the prophet and the message.
Quote
W.M.B.: 37 And the new
birth, as people talks that the baptism of the Holy Ghost is the new birth.
Now, that’s wrong. The baptism of the Holy Ghost is different from the new
birth. The new birth is when you’re born again. But the Holy Ghost is when
power comes into that birth for service. That’s exact. See? The Holy Ghost
is--baptized into the Holy Ghost.
The new birth, you have the new birth by
believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. See? By having faith and accepting Him as
your Saviour, that’s birth (See?), because you’ve passed from death unto Life.
Now, if you want to back that up, take
Quote: 129 I never
thought there was a person believed that like me till this morning, I heard
Charles Fuller as I was going down. He believes too, that the new birth is not
the baptism of the Holy Ghost. The new birth is being born. The Holy Ghost is
the baptism. See? Uh-huh. All right. (Why I'm Against Organized Religion
62-1111e).
Heretical
Article No. 665: “You
cannot be a manifested son of God without a changed body.”
Quote
Raymond Jackson: “For the
earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestations of the sons
of God.”…Paul says this authority which the sons of
God have been elevated unto will do! REDEEM THIS FALLEN CREATION! To accomplish
this scripture teaches you will have to have a glorified body, so beware of
these teachings concerning the manifestations of the sons of God and their work
before they receive new bodies!… we wait patiently for the second phase of
ADOPTION, the adoption of the body to become manifested sons of God.
(Manifested sons of God).
E.O.D.H.
Answer: It is amazing
that such a man can speak such blasphemies.
I John 3: 8 <…For this purpose the Son
of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.>
Jesus
was a manifested son
without a changed body. So too the apostles. They received the spirit of
adoption without their bodies being redeemed.
Romans
Quote W.M.B.: E-71 What we need today is a coming together, and a prayer
meeting, and to stay there until God sends the adoption of the Holy Spirit, brings the Holy Ghost down and places
in the Church apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, pastors. That's what
we need. (Hear ye Him 60-0712).

Raymond Jackson: In the prophesy of Joel we find that God
will gather all nations into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will judge them
there… in which Christ, as King, after having come to earth will position
himself, till the millennial subjects have been judged and passed on into that
day…when the Son of man shall sit upon the throne of his glory, (meaning the
millennial throne), you also who have followed me in the regeneration will sit
upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. You see: When Jesus
sits upon his throne, the apostles will be sitting upon their thrones judging

Heretical Article
No. 667: “Church order was not in the early Church. They had
order in the church and not church order.”
Quote Raymond
Jackson: That is why I
never would put church order in my church. I could not see it in the early
church.
…I am not challenging what Bro. Branham
said…I will say, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the apostle Paul never
taught church order, but he did teach that there should be order in the church.
He taught that the Holy Ghost was to have the pre-eminence, and that the
worshipers should conduct themselves in decency, godliness, and in adult like
manner, but there is a long way from a church order. (The apostle’s office, part 1).
…14th
chapter of I Corinthians…Paul writing to them, explaining the gifts of the spirit, and the
operation of such gifts. He explains to them what proper conduct, and order in
the church is to be like. You will notice that I said ORDER IN THE CHURCH, and
not CHURCH ORDER, there is a great difference. (The Apostle’s office, part 3).
E.O.D.H. Answer:
Quote W.M.B.: E-10 We have to have
order. See? If you don't... Paul said set the Church in order. Isn't that
right? Order is of the Church, and so we're very thankful. (For Him I will
accept 52-0718).
Quote: 202-333 Paul said, “When I come to the
Pentecostal church over there,” said, “I’ll set it in order.” It’s got to be in
order; everything must be done orderly, just as the Spirit ordered. So he said,
“Now, if come in, and all of you begin to speak in tongues, and the unlearned
comes in, he’ll say, ‘Well, aren’t you all mad?’, walked out.” (Questions and
Answers 54-0515).
Heretical
Article No. 668: “Church
order drives the Spirit of God out of the church.”
Quote
Raymond Jackson: Every carnal preacher that put church
order in his assembly just because Brother Branham did at the tabernacle, drove
the spirit of God out. God will not be tied by your church order. There is
nothing in this message that has ever told anyone to stop manifesting the gifts
of the spirit, that God placed in their lives…people say, especially preachers,
“I believe in the gifts of the spirit, but I want the real thing.” Let me tell
you, I want the real also, but I find that to be a feeble excuse to hide
behind, while you try to justify your church order. You are completely out of
the scriptures. (The Apostle’s Office part 3).
E.O.D.H. Answer: The prophet of God said that when a church is in order there is perfect
moving of the Spirit. But when those gifts are not set in order, evil spirits
can come in.
Quote W.M.B.: 255 I’ve often wanted to come into a church; I’ve longed to see it, I
guess, where I could walk in the back door, front door, wherever it was, look
across an audience and see a perfect church all in order. Sin couldn’t stay
there; no, the Spirit would call it out. You see? It just couldn’t stay. Like
Ananias and Sapphira, you just couldn’t do it. There’d be no sin in that…
group… See women, men setting there under the power of the Holy Spirit, the
Spirit of God moving perfectly, moving this…That’s the Church of the living
God. How my old, poor old heart… how I’ve longed to stand and see a church like
that. (Paradox 61-1210).
Quote: E-3 I think Christianity is orderly. And Paul come to set the church in
order and all things to be done decent and in order. And I believe God honors
it more when we keep it orderly and under the power of the Holy Spirit could be
the Leader of the church and of the people. (Sirs We Would See Jesus 54-0328).
EVIL SPIRITS CAN COME IN
Quote: E-61 Them things has to be every
word true. If it doesn't that person goes to the altar and get that evil spirit off of them. God don't lie.
God tells the truth. See? Then you have the church in order.
… All them gifts goes in the church, but
the people just get them and just go anyway with them. Like Paul said,
"People say you're crazy." …You've had the gifts but your pastor has
failed to... It's failed to set that church in the right order. That's right.
That's what the church needs today. Let that church get in order and watch all
the hell turn loose then.
…But what the Church needs tonight is know
how to control these gifts. See? For evil spirits can come in and speak just
the same as good spirits can speak…Those was gifts of prophecy, everything is
supposed to be correctly put in order. (Led by the Spirit of God 56-0723).

No. 669: “Brother Branham said that love is not the
evidence of the Holy Ghost, but believing the Word. He was wrong.”
Quote Raymond
Jackson: Another subject that I have heard Bro.
Branham speak in more than one way on is the evidence of the baptism of the
Holy Ghost… that same little man said, “Now love isn’t it”…He said, “Now, you
take the Catholic priest, he shows such great love, there is no greater love
than the Catholic people show to some other people, they minister first aid,
they build hospitals, and many things like that.” I
thought to myself, “You are saying that, but that sure isn’t the love of God.” Nevertheless, God let him say
those things, and God will use every one of them in is sifting, and fanning,
process, here in the end of the age.
E.OD.H. Answer: This is another example of Mr. Jackson’s disagreement with the major
prophet and the messenger of the age.
The prophet is right and
The above statement and others that follow project
that the prophet made opposing statements on certain doctrinal teachings, but
God will use them in His sifting and fanning process. This is a heresy. That is
not God’s fanning process. God would not be just to confuse helpless message
believers by the mistakes of a prophet if He uses such to separate people from
the church body. Mr. Jackson is contradicting the Word and God’s ordained plan
to accomplish that mission.
John the Baptist
said, <Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and
gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with
unquenchable fire. > (Matthew 3:12).
The ministry of
Christ followed John’s. He separated the elect from the non-elect by hard
sayings and parables. This is unchangeable today. The non-elect are separated
today from the elect by the deeper teachings of the prophet and his message.
Soon after the loosing of the seals the false anointed ones were made manifest.
<Therefore speak I to them in parables: because
they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.>
(Matthew
<Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye
have no life in you.
…Many therefore of his disciples,
when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
… From that time many of his disciples went back,
and walked no more with him.> (John : 53-66).

No. 670: “There were no dinosaurs in the garden of Eden.
They belonged to another era.”
Quote Raymond
Jackson: I heard him [Ed. Brother Branham] preach
another message, leaving the
impression that there were dinosaurs in our garden of Eden… I knew that he was
merely making a human statement… According to the word of God, as well as
history, and geology, I say to you that there were no dinosaurs in our garden
of Eden with Adam and Eve… That all belonged to another era of time. (The
apostle’s office, part 3).
E.O.D.H. Answer: Mr. Jackson has no scriptural basis to utter such foolishness in
contradiction to what the vindicated prophet taught. Adam named the animals,
but the Bible is silent on those names. How can any heretic say what animals
were in
Quote
W.M.B.: 9-1 The great paradises of God, and the great
dinosaurs, and whatevermore, crawling through it, and the great animals, no
harm in them, they were just as gentle as a little kitten…Oh, what a place--the
great birds swinging from tree to tree, and Adam could call them by name. (Satan’s
Heretical Article
No. 671: “The apostolic ministry of Jackson and others are to
sift the message of Brother Branham.”
Quote Raymond
Jackson: Some have said
that they believe in apostles, but the truth of it is that, they would never
allow an apostle’s office to touch this message if they could stop it… you need
that ministry to sift this message and line it up in digestible order.
E.O.D.H. Answer: The message of Malachi 4: 5 & 6 needs no sifting; just the same as Jesus’
or Paul’s message didn’t need any sifting. Paul authorized message believers to
let all be accursed who would try to sift out his message, even if it is an
angel that came from heaven. (Galatians 1: 8-9).
The heresies invented by both Mr. Jackson and Mr.
Gan reveal that their sifters have many large holes. They have replaced
devilish doctrines in place of the Word message of Malachi 4: 5-8. True message
believers do not want such hands to handle the pure message that God sent by
His prophet, because the so-called apostolic ministry of Jackson and others
like Gan have perverted the message of the hour in every form and fashion,
handling the message deceitfully.
Neither of these two thunders apostles can see eye
to eye on the Word and message, though many of their doctrines are similar in
nature. Contentions, separations, condemnations of the claims and some of the
teachings of each other occurred while Mr. Jackson was alive; that is after
they were once associated and affiliated together.
