One time William Branham was expressing how he felt as a teen about girls his age getting drunk and fooling around with older men. He thought, “They’re not worth a good clean bullet to kill them with it.”

That’s certainly a shocking thing to say, but not unusual coming from a self-righteous unbeliever.  However, in response to this comment, someone attributed the following statement Jesus Christ:

 “Keep your bullet, Billy. I died for her.”

Did Jesus really say that? Is that in the Bible? No, it’s not in the Bible. If it’s not in the Bible, then I think it’s safe to say we have no authority to say He did. So if Jesus never said that, then who did, another false prophet? Or probably just someone who wanted to put WMB in his place.

Is it ever right to say Jesus said something He didn’t in order to make a point? Biblical prophets were never allowed to put words in God’s mouth. Why should it be acceptable for anyone to do it today? To say that Jesus said something He didn’t is to do exactly what false prophets do—put words in God’s mouth. It’s wrong to say Jesus said something when He didn’t. The offense against God is compounded when it involves bad theology, as it does in this case (but that’s for a later discussion).

Next time you examine a teaching of William Branham’s that you believe is unbiblical, rather than make Jesus say something He didn’t, use the Bible to make your case. It alone is God’s Word!
