The Comments that follow were appended to the following "email letter header" by Paul McAroy for the purpose of edification. This was done on 01/05/99 as I was preparing these letters to be distributed throughout the world for study by the Congregation. The comments became much longer than I intended, but much was revealed. Because of the length of the append I separated it from the main letter for distribution. The file shall be referenced to as letter #9 of 24 (1i-end12.*). I recommend reading the letter that this is appended to, so that all that is said may be kept in context.

Append letter #9 [1i-end12.*]

1. He states and implies at the beginning of the letter that I believe that the Five Fold Ministry Ordained by God is not to be used to Edify the Body of Christ because I said and tried to show by the Scriptures that the Spirit of God Himself Reveals His Word to each individual Christian. He then goes on to say that I contradict myself because I do say that Ministers are Ordained of God to feed the Sheep of God. So did I contradict myself or is it that I am speaking Truth, and he is trying to pervert and hide the Truth by deceiving words? He then uses the Scripture "JOHN 16:13", to somehow defend his false doctrine that God will not reveal His Word to the Sheep and Children of God, yet this Scripture Itself proclaims that the Spirit of God Himself will..... " guide you (a Christian) into all truth". Do you see the deception?

[quote]My brother you yourself claim to be a teacher. Now if the Holy Ghost or God himself was to reveal things to each of us than why in the world are you trying to teach us your beliefs. Why in the world do you call yourself a teacher if the Holy spirit is to teach us?[endquote-- James E Wesley]
[quote] You said:
[quote] I also believe that there are Sheep out there in those message churches that are hungry and want Sheep Food. Are not the ministers ordained by God to feed them? Are they starving Brethren? Remember this Sheep Food is the Word of God which is not mixed with man made creeds and dogmas. [endquote-- Paul McAroy]
See with this very statement you contradict yourself: [endquote-- James E Wesley]

A Minister of God will Always point the people to Look to God for all things, and not to the Minister, and especially the Revelation of that Word which was Spoken by the Prophets. A Minister ministers (Feeds) the Word to the Sheep and then Looks and Waits for the Spirit of God Himself to Reveal (Quicken, Make Alive) that Word to and in the Sheep, that they may Bare Fruit. For Faith (revelation) cometh by Hearing the Word and that not of yourselves it (Revelation) is the Gift of God. Revelation (Enlightenment) does not come from the Ministers of God, only the Words which can bring that Revelation, the Word of God.

Romans 10:17 So then faith (revelation) cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith (revelation); and that (revelation) not of yourselves: it (revelation) is the gift of God:
1Co 3:5-7 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted (Word), Apollos watered (Word); but God gave the increase (Revelation). So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

2. That Scripture "John 16:13" he used out of Context, or to say the Revelation of those Words Written, was perverted in the attempt to uphold a false doctrine claiming the Infallibility or Godlike status of William Branham. Some actually believe (because it is proclaimed) he (William Branham) was God in the Flesh. But this is a doctrine of the Devil, and they try to mask what they really believe and are teaching by using cunning words of mans wisdom!

By the use of this false doctrine of man they can now because of deception, exalt him and therefore the words he spoke to the Same Authority as the Word of God itself, in the eyes of the people. Then the people are cunningly led away from the Words of The Living God Himself, and led by a " Select Priesthood Doctrine " whereby it is proclaimed that only " Selected Ones " can Interpret and give the correct revelation of the "Message or words of the god ". For the god, it is proclaimed, will not speak or reveal his word to the common people (in this case the Christians), but only to this Select Priesthood.

The Foundation of this false doctrine is based on a " Doctrine of Transformation " (which is used to build the " Doctrine of Infallibility "), wherein he is Transformed from a man into God or a god, by God Himself over coming him (possession) or entering him in Fullness. This is upheld and taught by many (nations and peoples), and is said to have taken place to William Branham in 1963 at a place called Sunset Mountain. Yet there was no witnesses to what these false ones say happened, as it is a lie.

Have you not heard of the many other gods that have been worshipped in like manner according to history? Do you see the parallel? the Babylonian gods, Egyptian gods, Greek gods, Roman gods, Catholic gods. Many of these false gods it is claimed (preached) were also Transformed from a man into a god, angel (messenger) of light, or even The God by some event that took place. And then there was a Chosen Priesthood to interpret the words of the god to the people This Doctrine in some Form has been Taught and believed by many peoples and nations, for many generations. So thank it not strange Brethren, that it is being used in this way, in this Our Day.

2Co 11:13-15 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Jesus Christ and Him Alone holds the Honor and Glory of Being the Manifestation of God (The Word) Revealed in the Flesh. He is The Angel of Light! He Only has gone through a Transformation on a Mountain known as the Transfiguration! And there was three Witnesses on the earth to testify to this Event. He Only is Worthy, none else can claim this Glory. Many have claimed and proclaimed that certain men and even women in history have in some way become a god because of a transformation while they were either alive or after they was dead. Even Peter got all excited and was going to built a Temple to worship Ministers who are just men sent by God (do you see the type?). But God straightened him out and said, Hear ye Him (Jesus the Christ). So don't believe these lies, Worship the True God and Him Only!

Mt 17:15 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a Voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him.

3. He claims I made this statement, [quote] " You mentioned that the Foolish Virgins are raptured with the Bride " [endquote-- James E Wesley]

But if one was search my letter he is quoting from, or any letters that I have ever written, you will find I have never made that statement. For I do not believe the Foolish Virgins are raptured with the Bride. I wonder how many people went about after reading that and saying, " did you know that bro. Paul believes the foolish virgins are raptured with the Bride"?

4. He also made this statement, [quote] " I know you don't like the Church age book ". [endquote-- James E Wesley]

Yet I have never made a statement to this claim either. What I am doing is destroying the false foundations that they have tried to lay while using this book and the sermons of William Branham. For those who may not know what the "Church Age Book" is that he is speaking of, let me explain. The books full name is "An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages".

William Branham helped Lee Vayle write this book. He did read the book as Lee Vayle was writing it, a few times. I'm not sure how many times (so 13 as he claims may be correct) as I can find no direct statement or reference where he said this himself. But the real issue and indeed the Core Debate (at least for some) is, who really wrote the book?

James Wesley along with many others proclaims that the Holy Spirit in bro. Branham wrote the book, which would be saying that it is Scripture. For that is how we have received All Scripture, is it not? So is this a New Epistle or Book of the New Testament? Has this book been Added to the Bible by God? William Branham himself would never say such a thing as that, and never did ! He knew by the Revelation of the Word of God that the Bible is not to be Added to or Scripture Taken away. The Bible was Finished and had the Complete Written Revelation of Jesus Christ, hundreds of years ago.

UNVEILING.OF.GOD.title JEFF.IN V-9 N-1 64-0614M
274 137 Now, someone has been, many has been saying to me, and theologians said, "Brother Branham, if the Lord God..." Said, "If--if with your experience that the Lord has given you for His people," humbly saying this, said, " you'd be eligible to write a--a Bible yourself, your Word that God has manifested." I said, "That might be true." See, he was trying to catch me. See? And I said, "But, you see, I couldn't do that."
He said, "Why couldn't? You have all the qualifications ."
I said, "But, you look, one word cannot be added or taken away." See?
And he said, "Well then, them seven thunders (You see?)," said, "wouldn't them seven thunders blasting out, won't that be a revelation be give to some man?"
I said, "No, sir, it would be adding something to It or taking something from It." It's all revealed in there, and the seven seals opened up the revelation of what that was. See?
He's still in the Word. You see, you can't get out of that Word. It won't leave the Word. And God's Spirit will never leave that Word. It'll stay right with the Word, blinding some and open the eyes of others. It'll always do that. (William Branham)

2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2Pe 1:20,21 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
2Pe 2:1,2 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

[quote] So who really did write that book? I'll tell you who wrote the book. It was the Holy Spirit in Brother Branham and that Book is Thus Saith the Lord. And you my brother better not add to it or take away from it. [endquote--James E Wesley]

A person who has listened to or read sermons by William Branham can easily see that the placement of words, use of words, the context of words, grouping of words, which brings forth the essence and meaning of those words to the reader in the Church Age Book, are not of or by William Branham. But let me also add that throughout the book there are quotes of William Branham, yet these are not specified because the book is presented as being written by William Branham himself. Yet, he didn't write it himself. It is presented this way because the Content for the most part are the beliefs and doctrines taught by William Branham.

William Branham did not think like this, nor preach like this, nor teach like this as is written in the Church Age Book. Anyone can see this who has listened to him preach. Lee Vayle is a minister and a highly educated man. William Branham was a back woods country boy (no disrespect implied to either man) having no real use or desire for the education which comes by man. That is why William Branham permitted Lee Vayle to write the book. He knew most educated men (ministers) usually disregard someone and will not pay much attention to what is said unless they can use polished words that the intellectual type person "sees" as coming from a wise man, or at the least a learned man of knowledge. So he had this written for those type of men ( being wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove), plus for anyone else wanting a good all around understanding of the doctrines of the Lord, in one book. William Branham endorsed the book, even referring to it as "his book" a few times. But he also said publicly that Lee Vayle was writing the book for him. I personally believe it was the will of the Lord God to have the book written for the edification of the people.

PROVING.HIS.WORD.title JEFF.IN V-9 N-6 64-0816
49 023 Is Dr. Lee Vayle in this morning? I wanted to ask if Dr. Lee Vayle... Are you here, Brother Vayle? Raise up your hand if you are. Is he in the back? All right, thank you, Brother Roy. And I want you to be sure to check those notes, Brother Vayle. You're somewhere in the crowds back there; I can't see, or in the hall. We have to watch, can't let too many stand, the fire marshal won't let us do that (You see?), and so we are... I want you to check my revelation on Serpent's Seed, to be injected into the first, Ephesian Church Age that he's writing, re-grammarizing it for me. Beautifully done! (William Branham)

DOORS.IN.DOOR.title FLAGSTAFF.AZ V-17 N-3 65-0206
31 014 Carl Williams and Jewel Rose, real bosom brothers and friends of mine, they went downtown the other day, and got a button about that big around to give me, and--but I haven't got it this morning. So we're grateful to be here.
Now, does anyone in here know Doctor Lee Vayle? I don't think... Maybe not. He was a Baptist preacher, Doctor of Divinity, and he's got his degrees. He was a high school teacher to begin with, and he's a very fine, scholarly man. And my tapes of "The Seven Church Ages," I sent them to him to grammarize them. Because my old Kentucky "hit, hain't, and tote, and carry, and fetch," that don't go good for people who reads the books, so he was going to grammarize it for me. And then, after he got through, sent it back a couple times for more statements. Which the book is going to press now after about three or four years. (William Branham)

ASHAMED.OF.HIM.title JEFF.IN V-3 N-9 65-0711
104 040 How many has read any of Brother Vayle on rewriting that, and fixing it up, and grammarizing it for me? Have you read any of it? You have, two or three of you. I think you done a real job, Brother Vayle, a real job. You... I think Sister Vayle did it; and you just wrote it down and she done it. She was a... See, I'm not always against the women, am I, Sister Vayle? (William Branham)

But now that William Branham is no longer with us, (and cannot rebuke these men himself for what they are doing) so-called ministers of the Gospel have risen up and perverted the Original Intentions for the writing of this book for the people. What is and should be a blessing to the people, they by their false doctrines are now using to deceive the people. The Original Content of the book has not changed, but because of doctrines of devils, the Perception ,View, and therefore the Use of that Content by the people has changed. The people because of this can now be corrupted, deceived, and led astray by that which is good. Think not that this is a strange thing, for the Scriptures Themselves have had and are having the very Same thing done to Them by ministers of the synagogue of Satan.

1Ti 4:1,2 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

How has the View and Use of this book been corrupted in the minds of the people? By teaching that the book itself is the Same as THE BOOK (Bible) which contains the Word of God, known as The Scriptures. This evil doctrine is used to draw the people Away from the Word of God Written in the Bible, and to their (ministers) interpretations of doctrines contained in this book along with the Sermons preached by William Branham. They are using and upholding some other source other than the Scriptures themselves, as their Foundation and Authority for Truth. All other denominations and false religions do the very same thing! What a subtle, but well known, trick of Satan.

2Co 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

And indeed the Truth of many doctrines is contained in that book and in the Sermons of William Branham, but All Revelations proceeded forth from God and have their Foundation Written in the Scriptures. (I hope your understanding what I'm saying). So that book and his sermons cannot reveal to you Truth, Reveal to you Jesus Christ, God must do this Himself. So If you do away with the Scriptures as your Source for Revelation and Truth, how will you ever come to the True Revelation of Jesus Christ, for He is The Word? The Living God must Reveal to you personally His Word in order for you to understand It and Him. Nobody, including the True Ministers of God, can do this for you. So to turn from the Spirit of God Himself which Reveals the Word of God in the Scriptures, with your heart or mind to some other book, creed, dogma, or words of any man, even if he is a True Prophet, is to shut the only Door of Grace which is revealed in and by His Word. So Repent you that are in Laodicea! Open the Door by coming to The Word Himself, and He will come and Reveal Himself to you personally!

1Co 2:9,10 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

5. Many ministers who say they uphold the Message of William Branham (doctrines and revelations) are by deception trying to deceive by using his own words and teachings, out of Context. Many other ministers in other denominations and religions do the very same thing, and many use the Scriptures Themselves to try and deceive the people. But it is written:

2Ti 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

[quote] If this was Lee Vale's Book than why did Brother Branham call it his book? And he said he will stand by it at the Day of Judgement and that it wasn't his thinking. [endquote--James E Wesley]

This statement demonstrates the very point I'm trying to make. Many say (using cunning words) that William Branham was as God and therefore " Everything" he said after the so-called Transformation on Sunset Mountain in 1963 was as Thus Saith the Lord, or to say, God Himself Speaking in a Body of Flesh. This is the foundation they have laid for many other false doctrines (including this one) to be built on. Yet in Truth it is a bottomless pit, as this foundation is a Lie and of the Devil.

But if you will notice, William Branham never said that he would stand by the Church Age Book at the Day of Judgment as this minister and other ministers falsely proclaim. They are taking what he said out of Context to try and give credence to their Creed. But this is as close as they can come, and the method they have to use, in order to support their false doctrines. And as I said, many other ministers in many other denominations and churches use the Same Methods.

If a person reads what William Branham said and are not looking for a way to support some private dogma or doctrine, they can plainly see in this case that the " IT " he was speaking of was the Revelations that he received from the Lord and spoke in the Sermons he preached, and not the book Lee Vayle wrote with the help of William Branham.

TRYING.TO.DO.GOD.A.SERVICE.title SHP.LA V-7 N-2 65-1127B
[quote] " You all seen in my book, it'll all be drawed out in the "Seven Church Ages" which He told me; which I stand by as a witness to God to be judged at the day of Judgment for it. It come from God, not from my thinking" [endquote--William Branham]

Do you see their cunning tricks? how they try to draw the congregation away from the Scriptures as the source for All Truth by saying you cannot understand it, and that you need to listen to the words of the Messenger. This SEEMS like they are trying to lead you to a Messenger and Prophet for Truth, but Then they say Only certain ministers (Nicolaitan Priesthood) can interpret or give the correct revelation of what that messenger said and meant, to the congregation. For the congregation is told that they can't receive revelation from God themselves, it has to come by and through this Priesthood which they deceivingly call the five fold ministry of God. This is evil, and of the devil, and has been a technique used by Satan from the beginning. They have also done exactly what bro. Branham said in the first part of the quote used above....

[quote] Then they take his message, 'cause he just lives a little while, and God... Then they take his message instead of carrying on with the rest of it, they make a--a denomination. [endquote--William Branham]

Re 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Re 2:15,16 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the Sword Of My Mouth.

SARDISEAN.CHURCH.AGE.title JEFF.IN ROJC 329-372 60-1209 30
And then we took the Word and broke it down, what was "deeds," what was "Nicolaitane." That's a foreign name to us, "Nicolaitane," so I took the Greek and broke it down. And "Nico" means "to conquer, or to overcome, or overthrow something." Nicolaitane, "laitane" is the church, "laity." Nicolaitane, a--a deeds that was trying to overthrow the laity and put all the blessing... And the only one to read the Bible, the only one to give the interpretation would be the bishop or some great head person of the church. (William Branham)

One last thing to try and show by the Word that the Church Age Book is not to be used or seen as the Bible. Show me by the Scriptures in the Bible where a Prophet had someone else write down what the Prophet believed or said, and then that other person used their own words and not just the words of the Prophet alone; and God called it Scripture. You won't find it because the person is going to slant the Words of the prophet to their way of thinking, or what they believe those Words Spoken by the prophet meant. Some Prophets did have Scribes to write down what they said, but it was Exactly Word for Word, what the prophet said, using Only the prophets Words. For this in Truth was the Word of God Itself, not the words of a man in the Office of a Prophet.

And as I said, William Branham DID NOT write the Church Age Book himself, nor did Lee Vayle as a Scribe write down "Word for Word" the words of William Branham in that book. He added his own words. So even if God was still adding Epistles or Books to His Bible (and He is Not) as He done in the Past, the Church Age Book would not qualify as the Word of God, called Scripture. But If you wish to hear Word for Word what William Branham said, listen to the tapes or read what was said on those tapes. But also remember that these tapes (including After 1963) are Not to be seen, used, or viewed as Scripture which is Written in The Book, The Bible. And yes you still need the Spirit of God to Reveal to you Personally what William Branham taught in those Messages. For It (the Message) is a Revelation of the Word to him (personally) from God, and you must (and can by Grace) receive it in the Same Way.

Brethren, you can receive Great Revelation and Understanding from God Himself by the use of the Church Age Book and the 1100 recorded Sermons of William Branham, if you will use the Message and Ministry of William Branham according to the Guidelines given by God Himself. Otherwise that which is good will bring death and judgment to you. So be wise and walk in the Light, follow Jesus the Christ, and Live.
