7 Church Ages - incorrect information

"He proposed the "7 Church Ages Theory" in which he placed himself along side Biblical forefathers such as Martin Luther and Charles Wesley, and even the apostle Paul of the Bible."

This part of the article is completely untrue as far as I am aware. I have access to all of William Branham's recorded sermons, and have never found anywhere where he places himself alongside these people. I believe the author of this article is talking about the messengers to the 7 church ages, the first of whom Branham identifies as Paul, up to the 6th (John Wesley). This is all laid out in "An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages" by William Marrion Branham, (Printed by Voice of God Recordings) but he does not name the 7th church age messenger.

Correct. This article has a lot of errors! More then I've ever seen in a Wikipedia article! Someone needs to cite the sources for a lot of it. Until then I'm going to do some serious heavy editing. Anything I remove I have no sources for so I can't source it otherwise I would. Strawberry Island 18:40, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alleged Pagan References

Removed: "Alleged Pagan references have appeared in the sect, for example, a song in their hymnbook (Believers Songbook) called "Blessed Be Your Eyes." The line "Blessed Be Your Eyes" is part of a Wiccan-Pagan ritual called "The Fivefold kiss.""

There is no way to prove that this is alluding to any kind of "pagan" or "Wiccan" ritual. However one could make the strong argument that this is actually a reference to:

MATTHEW 13:16 KFV But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. or LUKE 10:23 KJV And he turned him unto [his] disciples, and said privately, "Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that ye see:" and MATTHEW 11:25 KJV 25 ¶ At that time Jesus answered and said, "I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes."

Here is the entire text of the song

Believers Songbook: Song 393 BLESSED BE YOUR EYES F Blessed be your eyes, For they see the things of God, That were hidden from the wise, And revealed to those who'd learn. I'm so glad He touched my eyes, That I might see.
