Ganism versus
the Word of truth
There are some who do not openly claim that they
are eighth messengers or Christ etc., but they indicate that they are someone
special, specially gifted to interpret the Bible and even show where
certain teachings of the prophet Brother Branham, were not inspired, which
is borne out in their books and by their teachings.
It is either they are too
afraid, or pretendingly humble to state their claims as prophets, Christ, or son
of man revealed
We will now examine the
claims of a self
proclaimed apostle from Singapore R. Gan, true believers, refer to his religious
cult as Ganism. He has a book ministry, and has followings in Malaysia,
Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, Uganda, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Kenya.
His books are entitled-“prophetic revelation”. His claims and doctrines were
carefully examined, and we found them similar to that of many eighth messengers,
along with their methods of propagating their doctrines by
aggression and
fear. {You can see how he tries to
insinuate about the claims of preachers to the extreme. He's so
childish that he even subtitled his attack on me as "Ganism versus the Word of
Truth". Does he know of any group of believers that uses my books and
quote my words as THE ABSOLUTE? Dalton might as well call his teaching "Brucism". He
tries to put fear on his readers/hearers by saying (directly or indirectly) that I claim to be an 8th messenger
and that he and his followers are "true believers".
In his previous railing against me. he accused me of being JOSHUA. That's why some of his followers are spreading this lie wherever they go.
He and some of his followers have even called me a devil.}
This man, proclaims himself, a watchman and an
apostle, to restore the apostolic foundation of the sure Word of God in the
church. He said that this was revealed to him in a spiritual dream,
also that his ministry and calling would be “the first prize”, which he
interpreted as being a top position in the ministry. He said that the
followers of Malachi 4 do not have a proper foundation, because they have
substituted the Word for the quotations of Brother Branham. Quote: “God
has reaffirmed my prophetic teaching ministry, and has called me, as an apostle,
to do the work of ‘restoring’ the apostolic foundation…Right in these last
days, many Endtime Message churches, too, do not have a proper foundation or
have a shattered one at best. The condition is caused by adding to, or taking
away from, the sacred Word and substituting the statements / quotes of
Brother Branham for the Word”.
(The Foundation and the Wall pages 37,49).
Comparing his calling with the Word of God,
neither Paul, Brother
Branham or any of the Apostles were ever called by a dream, but were
supernaturally called by a burning bush experience, by meeting the pillar of
fire, commissioned and sent by God.
{Dalton simply grabs words to
force fit his point. If I have not met the Pillar of Fire and called by "a
burning bush experience", as he calls it, how could I make a statement
about the reconfirmation given to me in a dream? Had Dalton met
the Pillar of Fire? I doubt so. If he has, he would have
known that the Pillar of Fire could only take him to THE SCRIPTURE, GOD'S OWN WORD THAT
GOD HIMSELF HAS
WRITTEN, and not to Bro. Branham's oral words.}
The foundation of the early church was laid
by the Apostle Paul, the first prophet messenger, who said: “As a wise
masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation” (1Cor.3:10), and that said
Word foundation has already been restored by Brother Branham, the last church
age messenger, God’s restoration Elijah, Malachi 4:5-6, Matthew 17:11,
Revelation 10:7, and all the saints that have gone on are resting on that. Quote:
“Maybe this ministry that I have tried to take people back to the Word
has laid a foundation.” (Seventh Seal page 567). "I said, "Then if
Paul makes it, I will too, because I preached the same thing he
did, without compromising on one word. And all them people screamed
out, we are resting assure on that." (Jehovah Jireh pt.3 03/08/60).
{See how Dalton Bruce could
only hide behind some quotes of Bro. Branham? He reads and hears the sermons of
Branham, but in hearing, he hears not at all. He calls himself a servant of God,
yet he has no spiritual understanding of the WORD of his God. He knows not that
there is CHRIST, THE FOUNDATION: "For other foundation can no man lay than
that is laid, which is Jesus Christ" (1 Cor.3:11). And then there are the
"foundation of the apostles" (Eph.2:20; Rev.21:14) that the Church is built
upon — twelve foundations and not just the one Dalton teaches that it was only Paul. See, he is a
liar and he will keep on lying. I will not say much on this topic; I'll
just let him be wise in his own conceit.)
His claim is that he was told by discernment, by an
evangelist from California U.S.A., name Ernest Hawtin, that he has an apostolic
ministry, and the time had come for him to move and began his first
missionary trip, at the age of 33. Quote: “He began to discern the
people in the church…and pointed at me and said, “Brother…you have an
apostolic ministry. The time is come for you to move…when the word of
knowledge was given by the Spirit of the Lord, I knew that was my answer from
God.”…“To whom am I sent: I may not be an apostle to some people,
but I am surely one to those true believers, who would receive me, for
they are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord (cf.1 Cor.9:2).”
(The foundation and the wall- pages 50, 51).
The scriptures speak of the signs of an apostle:
“Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in
signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds” (1Cor.12:12). An apostle
means a sent one. All and every true apostle that is sent of God must have the
signs and vindication of an apostle, or he is found to be a false apostle that
was sent of Satan. This self proclaimed apostle has not these vindications and
signs working in him, and clearly states, Quote: “The vindication that William
Branham had were vindications to his calling as a church age messenger
fulfilling the scriptures of Mal.4:5-6, Rev. 3:14, Lk. 17:30. If another
minister has the same vindications as William Branham then both would
have fulfilled the same calling of the same scriptures. Then we would have
two messengers to the same age.” (Hearing they hear not page 31).
Such dumb projections are contrary to John 14:12
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do
shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto
my Father”, Mark 16:17-18 “And these signs shall follow them that
believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new
tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it
shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover”,
Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for
ever”.
{In the above 3 paragraphs,
one could see the immaturity of the man. He's really a baby, and he will remain a baby
as long as he refuses to eat the Word of the Scripture (Rev.10:8-11). He is like the
Pentecostal babies whom Bro. Branham said could not be taught spiritual things. How does one compare a prophet to another prophet (eg. John the
Baptist to Elijah)? How does one compare a Church Age messenger to another
Church Age messenger (eg. Luther to Paul)? How does one compare a pastor
to another pastor (eg. Dalton Bruce to ***)? Also, how many signs and
wonders must a prophet or an apostle perform before he is considered to be one
in Dalton Bruce's eyes? Compared with other prophets, did John the Baptist
perform any miracle or sign? How many signs and miracles did each of those twelve
apostles (including the axed disciple, Judas Iscariot) performed in order to be
recognized as an apostle? God has
allowed certain signs and miracles that happened in my life and ministry that Mr. Dalton Bruce
does not know. Do I have to brag about it? He is
just like the denominational theologians who knows next to nothing about how the
Spirit of God moves in His Own Ministry. God lies in simplicity and His
"present truth" ministry is a simple humble ministry. God does not have to brag
about His ministry. And how many signs and wonders
have Dalton Bruce performed, as a believer and a pastor, in fulfillment of the verses he
quoted, Mark 16:17-18? Is not an Evangelist a "sent one" if he is sent to
an area to preach the Gospel? Is not a prophet a "sent one" if he is sent
to a church? However, unlike other ministers who are "sent", an apostle is
a setter of order. Is Dalton Bruce so foolish as not to know that?
Or, maybe he considers himself to be a great apostle and are setting things in
order? If he is, then he should know his BIBLE, the very BIBLE that Bro.
Branham called "MY ABSOLUTE". But surely he is not. In fact, like
all Branhamites, he just messes up the faith of others by mis-quoting and mis-interpreting
the words of Bro. Branham. Bro. Branham's sermons are easily understood
when one reads or listens to them in the light of the Scripture. But men, like
Dalton, have to come along and give their silly interpretations and mess
up many a believers' faith. If Dalton is called of God, let him take the BIBLE
only and preach IT, after all the message of Branham has called us back to IT.
Can he do that?}
GANISM HERESIES
(1)
He believes in prehistoric man.
Quote: “Perhaps the serpent was like
prehistoric man, maybe better looking, who existed
long before modern man- the present Adamic race – was created some 6,000 years
ago.” (The original sin page 14).
God
created man (Adam) in his image. There was no other man before him.
(Gen; 1:26-27)
{Dalton Bruce does not know
simple descriptive English. In trying to make me look stupid, he make a
fool of himself! No where in my book did I ever write that there were man
created in God's image before Adam existed. Does Dalton Bruce deny the
existence of a PRE-HISTORICAL WORLD where DINOSAURS and man-like BEASTS (beasts that look like MAN)
roamed the earth? Science merely termed such man-like beasts "prehistoric
man" just as much as we termed the Serpent, "serpent man", who was but a beast that stood upright and look
very much like man? If Dalton does not believe in a prehistorical age, an era before Adam, let him just say so.}
(2) “Adam was not created to be a tiller of the
ground. A son of God is not created to toil; he is a child of God. The
Serpent-kind was created to be subjected to him to do the tilling.” (The
original sin-page 47).
God intended that Adam be a tiller of the ground, for the
scripture said that there was not a “man” (not serpent) to till the
ground”(Gen. 2:5).
{Dalton Bruce apparently
believes that Adam, a son of God, was created to till the ground with his hands.
He reads the Bible like he reads his newspapers. He simply applies the
words of Gen.2:5 as is without an understanding. He has no
revelation. Denominations applies the "trees" of Gen.2:9 — "the tree of
life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and
evil" — as is to literal trees. So, is there a difference between
the minds of the denominational preachers and the mind of Dalton Bruce?
Apparently, there is no difference. Now, the Serpent could talk, he could
communicate and he stood upright like a man. Interesting, isn't it? So, with
those abilities what does Dalton think the Serpent was created for? Maybe, he
knows, maybe he does not. But does not the Bible say that Adam was to have
dominion over all the creatures that God created? As a son of God, with
power and dominion over the creatures of the earth, did Adam really have to
LITERALLY PUT HIS HANDS TO THE TILLING OF THE GROUND, perhaps even fingers to
the bone (as Dalton believes)? If a man is the son of a rich plantation tycoon and he is ordered by
his father to plant certain fruit trees in his large plantation, would anyone be so
foolish as to think that the son himself is LITERALLY going to plant the fruit
trees throughout the large plantation? Or that he, being a rich man's son, would have servants to
do the planting and to work the
plantation for him?}

“Mendel’s Law states that “every individual is the sum total of the
Characteristics in its two immediate progenitors”…Cain, the son of the
Serpent, inherited a part of Eve’s nature, the nature of the Spirit of God
which was in Adam.” (The original sin-page 27).
The Bible said in 1John 3:12 that Cain was of that wicked
one. The Bible is not interpreted by Mendel’s law, but by Amos 3:7,
Mal. 4, Rev. 10:7, the prophet messenger that God sends for each age. Brother
Branham said: “If Cain was the son of Adam, which was a son of God, where did
that evil come from?…He hated; he was a murderer; he was jealous…Cain was the
nature of his father…That nature could not come out of that pure seed.
It had to come out of this perverted stream.”(Hebrews part 1 29/11/53).
{"Every prudent man
dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly" (Pro.13:16).
The Bible cannot be interpreted by fools, yet a fool knows that every man and
woman that came into this world came from a sperm of his/her father and an egg
of his/her mother. Hence, the words of Adam, "Therefore shall a man
leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they
shall be one flesh" (Gen.2:24). The seed lies in the male, the egg
in the female. Dalton Bruce can quote the prophet, yet he does not even
understand what he read of the prophet. Sure, Cain was of his father the
Serpent. He was also of the wicked one, the devil, from whom he got that
nature to hate and kill. But tell me, do animals worship God? Did
the Serpent worship God? If not, where did Cain, the seed of the Serpent
and a child of Eve, get that nature (or "instinct", as some prefer to call it)
to worship God? Did he get it from the Serpent? Did he get it from
the Devil?}
(4)
“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 original sin-page
61).
God made every natural tree in Eden to grow out of the ground.
These two trees, however, were spiritual. The tree of life was Christ, and the
tree of death was the devil. Quote: W.M.B “There were TWO trees in the midst
of the garden. The Tree of Life was Jesus. The other tree is definitely Satan”
(Church Ages page 102).
{See, Dalton Bruce is a real
Branhamite. He will always answer with some quotes of the prophet.
He believes that all the QUOTES of Branham are the MESSAGE and the MESSAGE is
all the QUOTES of Branham. Like those in Jesus' days who merely quoted what Jesus said concerning the
eating of His flesh and the drinking of His blood, and also the destruction of
the temple after which Christ would raise it up again in three days, Dalton does
not even understand what the prophet meant and why the words were said the way
they were said even though Dalton can say that the two trees are spiritual.
But how are the two trees spiritual? He does not even understand. He has
no answer, he has no revelation. Or does Dalton Bruce actually believe that Jesus
was literally standing together with Satan "in the midst" (in the middle) of the
Garden of Eden?}
(5) “it was the intention of God that they would
bring forth “seeds after their kind” by physical union. Sexual union was
intended that the two shall be one flesh (Genesis 2:24)…procreation
was His primary objective, not sexual pleasure. Adam and Eve were
supposed to come together in sexual union only in the due season of life
to partake of that Tree of Life, which would bring forth sons and daughters
of God which God had desired…According to the divine plan of God, Adam
and his wife were expected to come together at the appointed time and season of
life to eat of the Tree of life in the midst of the garden.
The effect of such partaking would bring forth sons and daughters of God with
eternal life.” (The original sin-page 62,29).
If sex was the right way, then why did Christ come by the virgin
birth? Brother Branham said: “Just like in the beginning, it was not God's
perfect will for children to be born on the earth through sex. No, sir. God
created man out of the dust of the earth. That was God's first and original
will. But when sin come in, then He permitted man to marry a wife
legally and have children by her…But, you see, it never was His perfect will.
(Does God change his mind 18/4/65).
{Now that is surely a very
foolish question. Dalton Bruce does not really understand the Original
Sin. If he does, he won't have asked such a question. He is such a
proud and smart-alecky man that he thinks he knows everything. I have
given the answer in my book and all he has to do is to humble himself and read
carefully and he will have the answer. He thinks that by supplying a few
statements of Branham would suffice the Truth of the doctrine. In fact,
like many Branhamites, those statements (and certain other similar statements)
are very often quoted but so misunderstood. If it is true that Adam was to
speak to the dust to create his own children instead of coming into sexual union
with Eve, under the divine Tree of Life, tell me how are the last five words uttered by
Adam, in Gen.2:24, to be fulfilled by him and his wife: "Therefore shall a man
leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they
shall be one flesh" ? If Abel was to literally come forth out
of the dust of the ground by the spoken words of Adam, how could Adam and Eve
be one flesh? For your information, the virgin birth of Christ has
nothing to do with physical propagation by sex or whatever Dalton maybe insinuating.
It has to do with the FALL of man and his REDEMPTION. It has to do with what
happened in the garden of Eden. It has to do with the blood issue. Now, God created sex, didn't He? He
created male and female, didn't He? He created a man and a woman, didn't
He? So, what's wrong with SEX in the beginning, right there in the
garden of Eden? The answer: nothing. BUT something did go wrong. What was it? The answer:
SEX was mis-appropriated under the Tree of Knowledge
of Good and Evil through the deception of the Serpent. It was through that
deception that carnal sex between the Serpent and Eve took place and produced
Cain. In order to save Eve, Adam had to identify with Eve in her sin for she was in transgression.
And that brought forth Abel. However, Adam was not in transgression for he was not deceived.
Hence, it is true that "it was not God's perfect will for children to be
born on the earth through sex" — carnal sex, but they were to be born
according to the Tree of Life, the Word, that was
spoken by God to Adam. For more detail, go to my article on "THE ORIGINAL SIN".}

“We don’t even need the Branhamites to help us build for
they are also
our adversaries.”
(The Foundation and the Wall page 16)
{That's absolutely true.
Because the Branhamites are trying to build the Church on Branham's words and not on the
Apostolic Word of God.}
(7)
Brother Branham is not a prophet, he was only
addressed as one. Quote:
“Bro. William Branham was not a prophet in the
5-fold ministry…He was a messenger but he was addressed as a “prophet”
because the word “prophet” was commonly associated with an outstanding and
gifted servant of the Almighty God like the Old Testament prophets.” (Speak the
Word page 27).
Malachi 4:5-said: “Behold
I will send you Elijah the
prophet”. Brother Branham
said: “The seventh angel has
to be a prophet for the Word of God to come to” (The Breach 1963).
{Dalton Bruce wants
his followers to believe that Bro. Branham was a prophet in the 5-Fold Ministry. If
Branham was a New Testament prophet, then he was not a Star-Messenger in the
right hand of Christ (Rev.1:16) and he would also be second to the apostolic
ministry. Dalton does not know the Ministry of Bro.
Branham. He does not
understand each of the works of the Ascension Gifts (5-Fold) Ministry of
Ephesians 4:11-16. Yes, believers can call Bro. Branham by any ministerial name
because of the many ministerial works he performed. But even though Branham did the
works of the 5-Fold ministry, he was a star-messenger. You cannot bring
down the status of a president of a country to that of a secretary just because
he performs some secretarial works. The word "prophet" is most commonly
used in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. However, in Christianity, there
is the O.T. type prophets and the N.T. type prophets. Dalton does not appear to
know the difference between them. Branham was a O.T. type prophet (Elijah)
come to a N.T. Church. And he was a "star" to a Church Age — Laodicea.}
(8) “A new order
had been established because a new covenant was
made. In the Old Testament time the Prophets were God’s spokesmen. They
revealed and interpreted God’s Word. However, in the New Testament, the
apostles were the ones who revealed and interpreted God’s Word…hence we see
that the revelation and the interpretation of God’s Word came through the
apostles to the church.”(Speak the Word pgs. 11,12).
“In the Old Testament time, God used a ‘one
man’ ministry – the prophets – to proclaim his Word, a choice made after the
event at Mount Sinai…That was why the Word came only to the prophets..
But in the age of grace, a new administrative order has been introduced and
the apostolic ministry is placed above that of the prophetic ministry. The Word
now comes to the apostles.” (The Foundation and the Wall page 33).
There were many prophets in the New Testament, and
also those who were prophesied to come: (Acts 13:1,Acts 11:27,Acts
15:10,32,1Cor. 12:28, Eph. 4:11, Lk.11:49, Rev.11:3,10, ). God does not change
his mind about His Word. According to Amos 3:7, the Word of God comes only to
the prophet. The reason why the Word came to the apostle Paul is because he was
both apostle and prophet. Quote: W.M.B “He (Paul) was not only an apostle, he
was a prophet”. (Testimony of William Branham 10/5/53).
“In the Bible the prophets,
the Word came to the prophets in
the days of old. Now, the prophets were seers, Divine seers. And at the
change of the dispensations from law unto grace, did not change God sending
still, prophets. For in the New Testament we find prophecy went on just the
same. And also prophets went on just the same.” (Why so hard to live a
Christian life 3/3/57).W.M.B
“God has no other way of bringing out His
Scriptural revelations except by a prophet. The Word always came by a
prophet and always will. That this is the law of God is evident by even a
casual search of Scripture. The unchanging God with unchanging ways invariably
sent His prophet in every age where the people had strayed from Divine order.”
(C/Ages pg. 324).
{I marvel at the foolishness
of such a man who chooses to ignore the Scripture over some statements of Branham,
that he completely has no understanding of, to try and prove his revelation. Paul
NEVER CALLED himself a prophet because he was an apostle. When Bro.
Branham called Paul a "prophet" what was he getting at? Was not Paul also
a "star" in the right hand of Christ like he was? (Of course,
Paul did not have that knowledge.) The word "prophet" is a
common word used among Pentecostal people during the Pentecostal era of the 20th
Century. It is therefore important to look at Scripture for the right
placing of a person's ministry and calling. Bro. Branham called his son,
Joseph Branham, a prophet. Is Joseph Branham really a prophet? If so, is he really
a prophet like his father? Agabus
(Acts 11:28; 21:10) was called a prophet. Was he a prophet like Branham,
like Isaiah, like John the Baptist? And if Paul was a prophet, was he like Agabus? Agabus
was a N.T. prophet. Paul was not. HE WAS AN APOSTLE, who was also a
"star-messenger". You may call Paul whatever you like, but don't be a smart
aleck foolish enough to rob him of what he was — an apostle of the Lord Jesus
Christ.}
(9)
The revelation for the apostolic age came to the church collectively and
progressively over a period of time by several apostles. This is evident
by the twenty-seven epistles written in the New Testament by the apostles.
As a result of this
new order, in essence, gifted apostles can add to the message of the hour. They
can also add to the written Word of God,
because the written Word of God is the letter. Quote: “The
revelation of God is being progressively revealed to God’s people even though we
have the Bible – the written Word…They
would claim that they hold to the Bible (containing the 66 canonical books) as
the authority and revelation of God to mankind and that they believe nothing is
to be added to or subtracted from it. Such
people would usually brush off and consider to be false any “revelation” which
they never heard of…An anointed man of God will speak the Word – a message from
God – to God’s people. He will not deliver a string of quotes from some
religious books or even the Scriptures; for such are only written laws of a
religious order. (Speak the Word, pages7,12,13,20).
Brother Branham said: “You can't go under a group of men.
I defy anytime that it ever went--God ever did use a group of men. He uses one
man (It's exactly.), one man at a time, 'cause two men's got' two opinions.
One man. It's exactly right. Notice now every dispensation it's been that way;
all the way down through, it's been that way every time.” (Endtime evangelism
3/6/62).
{Watch the cunning craftiness of
Dalton Bruce who lies in wait to deceive. He often uses words to force fit a
certain point to fulfill his own
intention and ambition. When he
accuses someone of adding to the Bible he is actually doing that very thing.
He is adding Branham's words to the Scripture. He believes the message
tapes of Branham are at par with the Scripture. He believes they are the
Absolute. When he quotes the words of Branham about a one man ministry, he actually
denies the Truth of the Scripture, of what Paul said, that the Church (Bride of
Christ) COULD ONLY BE PERFECTED BY THE ASCENSION GIFTS of the 5-FOLD MINISTRY.
When Bro. Branham spoke of God using "one man", was he speaking about the perfecting of the saints, or was he speaking of God using one man like the O.T. type prophet specially called to a certain ministry to
damn the system that traps the souls of God's people and to point the elect
back to the old path, back to the Original Word? Among the
three, Paul, Branham and Bruce, someone is a liar. And again, we know who.}
(10)
When
he left a denominational church to follow this message, six other men left
with him. Quote: “The Thunders are here today, waiting for the anointing
from the Lord to begin their ministry. May we be found ready when the Seven
Men (Thunders) utter their voices for the change of our bodies and then
the going home of the Bride to glory.”…”The Seven Thunders (7anointed men
of God) will utter forth the very words that the apostle John heard in the
vision on the isle of Patmos but was not allowed to record down. It’s a spoken
Word ministry.” (Speak the Word pages 51,36).
He identifies these seven men with the seven eyes
of Zechariah 4:8-10, which Brother Branham said represented the Seven Church age
messengers.
{Dalton is not only a
cunning man but he is very presumptuous man. He is never afraid of
committing presumptuous sin. He dares to willfully speak and write falsehood
about others to deceive his followers. I doubt his followers know anything
about it. Just look at how he takes a statement out of my testimony (in my
message on "The Foundation and The Wall") in which I said:
"Very
soon after that, I left the A.o.G church. Leaving with me were six young men. We
gathered together in my home regularly on Sundays and, as often as we could, on
certain weekdays"
and insinuates that together
with those six young men we declared ourselves the Seven Thunders. What an evil man, if I
ever seen one!}
11.
After the fall, Polygamy was introduced by Lamech (a serpent seed) and not by God or his children, but God allowed it.
12.
A
covenant of polygamy was not introduced after the fall. The covenant that was
made was that the man would rule the woman (Genesis 3:16).
{Dalton is also a man who
contradicts his own words. He claims to believe that God does not change His
Mind about His Word. But in disagreeing with what I have written, he is telling
everyone that God had already changed His Mind concerning the marriage relationship of ONE
MAN, ONE WIFE to ONE MAN, MANY WIVES. He says that God introduced Polygamy. What foolishness.}
13.
The prophets of the Old Testament each had one wife.
{He is blind not to be able
to see what a true ordained O.T. prophet is. The O.T. prophets lived their lives
according to the Word of God. If he is thinking of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob, then he ought to think again.}
14.
A woman could remarry if her husband divorces her for sexual uncleanness
(Deut.24:1-2), but if she was illegally put away and remarries, she would be
guilty of adultery.
15.
In Christ Jesus, there is no preference of the man over the woman, therefore,
not only the man could remarry,
16.
If a woman’s unbelieving husband departs, she can remarry according to 1
Corinthians 7:15.
{Dalton disagrees with the Truth of
Scripture. Like many Branhamites he is blind to the IN-BREATHED WORD of the
Scripture. When faced with problems and questions over Marriage and Divorce, like the Branhamites he only
blindly quotes Branham without understanding the Truth
of his words even though he boastfully claims, "I
stand firmly with all, who regard the word and revelation of the message as
the absolute."
}
17.
Mixed marriage is
not a sin, nor is it unscriptural, it can be practiced amongst believers
{When
he simply takes this statement of mine out of context and shows only this line to his followers, what is he
trying to tell them? Is he trying to tell them that I believe in mix marriage
between a believer and an unbeliever? I don't. He has an evil intention to
confuse and to scare his followers away from the Truth. But I do believe that a
believing Chinese man can marry a believing Filipino sister; and a believing
American man can marry a believing Mexican sister, etc., etc. Doesn't Dalton
know that all the people of this present earth came from the three sons of Noah?
Bro. Branham was not pure white. He had Red Indian blood. But did he
marry wives who possessed the same blood mixture as himself? Silly question,
isn't it? Therefore, can a man whose father is Indian and mother is white
marries a white woman? Does anyone know why Dalton Bruce, an Indian man,
including his associate, Ronald Watson, of South India, have a white name?
:o)}
18. God
never ordained polygamy; Jesus did not sanction polygamy, neither did he condemn
it, but discouraged it. Paul never encouraged it.
{Does
Dalton disagree with all that?}
19.
The Serpent was a household servant to Adam. Adam was not created to till the
ground. The serpent was his servant, and he was to do the tilling. Adam was to
do his tilling through his servant serpent because it was not God’s
intention that a Son of God should work hard.
20.
The serpent and the seed of the serpent were tillers of the ground. Adam’s
linage were mainly shepherds.
21.
Noah’s wife was either a Cainite or a hybrid, therefore Noah had to go through the tribulation of the flood because he
was unequally yoked in marriage
{So, what does Dalton believe, that
Mrs. Noah was a pure seed? Or, that Noah was a mixed seed? Enoch was a type of
the wise virgins who made the rapture. Noah was a type of the foolish
virgins who has to go through the Great Tribulation.}
22.
Seth and Japheth possessed serpentine traits which they inherited genetically
from their mother.
23.
The Tree of life, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, were two laws
that governed sexual relationship, either for pleasure or reproduction.
24.
Genesis 4:26 means that men began to profanely call upon the Name of the Lord.
{Dalton does not have the revelation
of this verse. I won't waste my time to teach him as he already considers
himself a GIANT in the
ABSOLUTE words of Branham.}
25.
All men today are traced back to Noah’s three sons
for the inheritance of their satanic traits.
26.
No literal and physical serpent seed exist today,
for all died in the flood.
{So, what does Dalton
believe, that we do not come from the three sons of Noah? And that there
are still literal physical serpent seeds on the earth?}
27.
The early church did not judge the teachings of
the other apostles by what Paul taught.
{That's an obvious truth. But
Dalton wants his followers to believe that the saints in the early church
did judge, for example, Peter's and John's teachings according to Paul's.}
28.
All the mysteries are not revealed by Brother
Branham
{Like all Branhamites,
Dalton lifts Bro Branham so high up that he could not see Christ anymore. Where in the Scripture can one find such an absurd claim that Branham had
revealed ALL MYSTERIES? The common Scripture verses used to support the
claim are Rev.10:7 and Mat.17:11. A preacher said,
"By the God-ordained ministry in the
days of the voice of the seventh church age messenger, the
mysteries
of the Word were made known, from
Genesis to Revelation." Any honest person will know that
Rev.10:7 does not say "ALL MYSTERIES OF GOD". It says, "the mystery of God". And
what is "the mystery of God"? It is the mystery in which God would graft the
Gentiles on to the Olive Tree (Israel). This is the mystery of God which was
revealed to the O.T. prophets but was kept hidden until the Gospel was given to
the Gentiles. Paul was the first to see the revelation of this mystery of God.
Read Rom.11:25; 16:25; Eph.3; Col.1:25-29. The dispensation of the Gospel
to the Gentiles is the period of the mystery of God. With the sounding of
the Seventh Angel's message, the Gentile Church Age will quickly come to a
close.}
29.
Zechariah 14: 6-7 does not refer to the condition
of the Laodicean age, but William Branham used it as a Type. It applies
to Christ’s third coming in his corporal body as the evening light.
{Dalton knows only the words of
Branham but not the revelation of the Word of God. If he denies these
verses were used by Branham in typology, then he knows nothing of Scripture.}
30.
Culture, customs, and traditions of people are not necessarily against the Word
of God.
{If Dalton disagrees with
this statement, it means he believes that all cultures, customs, and
traditions of people are against the Word of God. Then he should stop
shaking hands with people, and stop eating with fork and spoons and start eating
with his fingers. And why does he, an Indian have a white name? Should he claim
that his father gave it to him, then he should change it to an Indian name. What
cultures, customs and traditions are against the Word of God? The answer:
those that are religious and those that contradict the Christian way of life.}
31.
We don’t need an outward revival in this hour,
what we need is to turn to the absolute Word.
{Pity the man who looks for
an outward revival. We need to return to the Absolute Word for an
inward revival of the spiritual man under the 5-Fold Ministry. This is the
time for the mellowing down of the seeds in the Son of God. When the saints are
perfected in the Word, then shall come a Bride body revival which shall be hid from the
world before she is capped by her "theophany" and caught up to meet the Lord in
the air.}
32.
Believers are adding to the Word by putting the
books and tapes of Brother Branham side by side with the Word.
{When the Mormons put their
"Book of Mormon" side by side with the Bible, the Branhamites say that that is adding to the Word
of God (the IN-BREATHED SCRIPTURE). But when the Branhamites take the
Spoken Word books or taped sermons of Branham and do the same, they say they are
not adding to the Bible. Think about it.}
33.
There were no prophets, evangelist, pastor and
teachers in the upper room.
34.
There were no pastors up to A.D. 46, only the
other four office gifts.
35.
Paul
was in the office of an Old Testament prophet before he was elevated to the
office of an apostle and a messenger.
{Does Dalton Bruce know history?
Does he know his Bible?}
Using God’s standard of identifying
false prophets, we can understand the words of Jesus, ‘MANY false
prophets,..deceives MANY.’ (Matt. 24:11) The seven church ages started out with
the antichrist spirit as well as the Holy Spirit (1 John 4:1).
“Beloved, believe not every
spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets
are gone out into the world." Did you notice it? The antichrist spirit is
identified with false prophets. The ages came in with false prophets and they
will go out with false prophets. Now of course there is going to be a REAL
FALSE PROPHET in the grand sense of that man mentioned in the Revelation. But as
of now before his revelation there are to appear many false prophets… Now in
every case you will notice that a false prophet is one who is outside the Word.
Just as we showed you that 'antichrist' means 'anti-Word' so these false
prophets come perverting the Word, giving it a meaning that fits their own
devilish ends. Have you ever noticed how the people who lead others astray
bind them closely to themselves by fear? They say that if the people don't do
what they say, or if they leave, then destruction will follow. They are false
prophets, for a true prophet will always lead one to the Word and bind the
people to Jesus Christ and he won't tell the people to fear him or what he says,
but to fear what the Word says. Notice how these people like Judas are out for
money. They get you to sell all you have and give it to them and their schemes.
They spend more time on offerings than the Word. Those who attempt to operate
gifts will make use of a gift which has a margin of error in it and then ask for
money, and neglect the Word and call it of God. And people will go to them, and
bear with them, and support them, and believe them, not knowing it is the way of
death. Yes, the land is full of carnal impersonators. In that last day
they will try to imitate that prophet-messenger. The seven sons of Sceva
tried to imitate Paul. Simon the sorcerer tried to imitate Peter. Their
impersonations will be carnal. They won't be able to produce what the true
prophet produces. (Seven Church Ages page 329-331).
Efforts proved futile to reconcile this impersonator from the
error of his ways. Such efforts, through letters, are documented on Exposition
of Damnable Heresies – Book 4, and further refutations of his isms are
documented on Exposition Book 2.
This slick, subtle, cunning and silver tongued perverter and
impersonator fully conscious that the New Ministry of W.M.B./seven
thunders/seventh seal and third pull must be confirmed by manifestations of the
third pull in creative acts of power (Mark 11:23), has evaded, dodged and
explained away the promised a-vindication of this super ministry by assuming
that he is manifesting the third pull temporarily. Also, that he don’t have to
follow in line with the identification of the five acts of the third pull
manifestations. The true identifications of this ministry promised to the Church
of Jesus Christ, will further expose this cunning impersonator to be nothing
less than a heretic.
MEASURING ROD OF IDENTIFICATIONS APPLIED
Identification No.1:
His revelation of the thunders cannot hold up in God’s Word. His dogma is that
seven men reveal the seven thunders, and these men are the very thunders. Is he
brighter than the messenger to invent such a heresy? Seven men are not the seven
thunders. The seven thunders holds the secret of the second coming of Christ,
which the prophet of God said that it will take a prophet, not seven men, to get
the revelation (Ages page 324). Therefore his doctrine is erroneous, heretical,
satanic and totally contrary to the Word of God, the opening of the seals and
the messenger’s message.
Identification No.2:
His claim is contrary to the teachings of the message which
says that the next time the third pull manifestations are used is at the boycott
of the Church. He falsely claims that he is manifesting the third pull
temporarily. This was already done by Brother Branham. So he is out of time, out
of place, and he is imitating the Prophet’s ministry.
Identification No.3:
We are living in the age of the
Capstone, and he claims that he is now laying the foundation. He is living in
the glare of another age, since the foundation was already laid again by the
wise master builder, William Branham.
Identification No.4: His so-called false claims of
third pull temporal manifestation does not fit the identification.
Identification No.5:
He is based on intellectualism and the letter is destroying him and all who
believes him. He is subtle as the serpent and is no less than these dead
organizations which believe that the days of miracles are past, for he by his
intellectualism is explaining away the power of God. He is in direct
contradiction of St. John 14:12.
Identification No.6:
He never started the
rapturing faith, but did all in his power to cause people to depart from the
faith that was restored by Malachi 4:5-6, giving heed to seducing spirits and
doctrines of devils, and if given a chance, he will completely destroy the
message and all that the prophet labored for.
Identification No.7:
He claims to be manifesting the third pull, yet he lacks the
revelation of the
new Name. Such powers are invested in the new Name.
Identification No.8: He is a million miles away
from this identification, and is awaiting for his folly to be made manifest by
the fullness of the power of the third pull.
{Just reading how he twisted
words and put words into someone else's mouth is enough to make one sick. He
talks funny; he even claim to have the revelation of the new Name. For the
above, I will hearken to the words of Proverbs 26:4. But I would like Dalton Bruce, or any Branhamite, to scripturally answer the questions that I have put forth to
him. I would accept any clear exposition that makes sense, even if Scripture is
not forthcoming. But do not try to answer my questions with quotes of Bro. Branham.
Because even among the Branhamites, one man's quotes of Branham is another man's
dilemma. I have respect for Bro. Branham as a messenger sent of God to
call us back to the Word. I know his ministry and his purpose
in God's plan. But I cannot put him on a pedestal and preach the man as I
preach Christ. I cannot put his oral words at par with God's IN-BREATHED
SCRIPTURE, and tell people that Branham's words are THE ABSOLUTE, for that would
be heresy. Dalton Bruce and many like him have committed heresy in the
first degree and they do not even know it.
Let me list the questions here:
1. After Bro. Branham, is
there another messenger to come, or has he already come? Is there an 8th
messenger?
2. If Bro. Branham's message
could perfect the Bride, what are the Ascension Gifts of the apostles, prophets,
evangelists, pastors and teachers given for? See Eph.4:11-16. Are the 5-Fold
ministry to take the sermon books and tapes of Branham and interpret them?
3. Is it true that Bro.
Branham was so perfect a prophet that he made not even a mistake in his speech
and in his life, as many claim?
4. Is the Holy Scripture ALL
SUFFICIENT for our faith? See 2 Tim.3:16-17.
If not, you may add the
books and tapes of Branham, and any other books in the world, to your faith. In
that way, you will be declaring that Paul is a liar, and you are a heretic.
5. Who is THE ABSOLUTE? Is
Bro. Branham THE ABSOLUTE?
6. Who and what is the
FOUNDATION OF THE CHURCH? And upon what is the household of God built
upon? See Eph.2:19-22. What are these 12 foundations of the apostles
(Rev.21:14)?
7. What is the purpose of
God's creation of the male and female reproductive organs if the propagation of
mankind is not to come by the sexual union between Adam and Eve in the
beginning? If, indeed the original intention of God is for Adam to propagate
his children by "speaking the word to the dust of the ground", then...
a) Why did God
create the male and female reproductive organs?
b) What are the purposes of
the male and female reproductive organs?
c) How are Adam and Eve to
fulfill these words of Gen.2:24: "Therefore shall a man leave his father and
his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh"?
8. Cain was the seed of the
Serpent. The Serpent was a beast of the field. He was not created in the image
of God and therefore was not a son of God as Adam was. Like all animals, the
Serpent did not worship God. But his seed, Cain, did. How come? Where did Cain
get that nature to worship God?
9. Did God introduce
polygamy as many Branhamites believe? Did God change His Mind about His Word?
Or, was polygamy the idea of Lamech of the Serpent race? See Gen.4:19.
10. What is the "mystery of
God" in Rev.10:7? Some believe that it is the mystery of God in Christ. Others
believe that it is NOT a mystery but mysteries of God and they
have taken Mat.17:11 and tied it to Rev.10:7 to try and prove that Branham did
reveal all mysteries, did "restore all things". Some have even gone a further
step by taking Acts 3:19-21 and teach that since all things have been restored,
Jesus has already come down, that is, and the Rapture has taken place and the
Millennial Age of Christ is come. (Scary and silly.) Now, what actually is the
"restoration of all things" in Mat.17:11 and Acts 3:19-21? And if it is true that ALL
MYSTERIES of the Bible were revealed by Bro. Branham, please tell me what he had
revealed concerning just these
four subjects:
a) Where was the Garden of
Eden located?
b) What was the MARK OF CAIN
that God put on him and its significance?
c) What was the SIN that HAM
committed such that his son, Canaan, was cursed by Noah?
d) Is the Holy City New
Jerusalem a literal city? If it is, where is it located? If not, what is it and
where is it located?
In these sharp, cutting Messages, if
I have intentionally tried to hurt somebody, God forgive me. I wouldn't do
that, for nothing. But yet I'm a prisoner to this Word, see, I--I must stay
right with It. I don't speak hard things to make people feel bad. I speak
things sharp, sometimes, to make people look, see, an exclamatory, "Oh,
look!" See, to make them look at it, to see. Then if you get them,
maybe sometimes it provokes them. And about nine times out of ten, if
they get a little bit provoked, they'll go to searching the Scriptures,
and God does the rest of it then. You see?

Are
you provoked? Then
take heed to the words of Bro. Branham and go search the Scriptures.}
