KOCOUREK’S HERESIES - GODHEAD

Heretical Articles Nos. 789 to 794

 

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

 

INTRODUCTION

 

                Pastor Kocourek published a booklet entitled: “The Godhead” in July 1994. The contents were brought to our notice after the year 2000. After careful study of this book, several heresies were identified. Around that time he became a subscriber of E.O.D.H. and was one who displayed a humble attitude. Having good communications and discussing heresies from different parts of the world, I considered him as a friend, a brother and minister of the message. Knowing his connection with Dr. Vayle, I respected him even more because of Dr. Vayle’s humble attitude and sincere remarks concerning errors injected into the CAB that one of our editors discussed with him. I was mindful not to identify Pastor Kocourek with his Godhead heresies, when I exposed them with others that were sent to me from overseas in 2003. This was published on E.O.D.H. book 9, page 107. In the same manner, I published, without identification, certain heresies of Dr. Vayle based on the seventh seal/seven thunders, which were repeated in this book, but formerly published in E.O.D.H. book 13. A little article was also published on a similar heresy on book 12, page 89. This included Dr. Vayle’s name, with utmost love and respect. This brought about a discourse between Pastor Kocourek and myself in 2008, which resulted in the writing of this book, which I hope will be of edification to many around the world.

 

 

KOCOUREK EXPOSED VAYLE

 

                In the process of our discourse Pastor Kocourek exposed Dr. Vayle and his heresies to the world. It is evident from the above facts that I never sought to publicly expose Dr. Vayle nor his successor Kocourek. When he went to the internet for international support and to make a name for himself, by destroying the influence of E.O.D.H., I was forced to also publicly respond to his vicious attacks. I believe that his foolish action will turn to be a blessing to many, as it will bring deliverance from heresies.

 

 

EFFORT TO EXPOSE ONENESS HERESY - BLUNDERS

 

                The outline on the subject of the Godhead by Pastor Kocourek sought to establish the truth concerning the Father in relation to his son Jesus Christ, and to differentiate that revelation from “Trinitarianism” and the “Oneness” and “Jesus only” conceptions of God. I respected his efforts since the majority of message ministers internationally hold to the concept of the “Oneness” doctrine, thinking that they preach the Godhead as Brother Branham declared it, but have missed the true revelation of the Godhead. However, Pastor Kocourek ignorantly made some terrible blunders in trying to teach the revelation of the Godhead in the same manner in which Brother Branham preached it. This forms the basis of this exposition. His name must now be identified with his Godhead heresies since he has formulated, preached and published many other heresies that are very detrimental to message believers, and by extension, all people. He refused to be corrected, and has manifested a very unpleasant attitude.

People who don’t have the revelation of the Godhead cannot understand the revelation of the son of man; Luke 17:30, the descending of the Lord; 1 Thessalonians 4:16, Revelation 10:1-4, the appearing and the second coming of Christ. They cannot be born again and receive the next outpouring of the Holy Spirit to qualify them for the rapture.

 

IF CAN’T SEE GODHEAD, CAN’T SEE THE REST OF THE TRUTH

 

Quote W.M.B.: 309-1 If people can't see the TRUTH of the Godhead, but fight it; they can't ever see the rest of the truth because the REVELATION IS JESUS CHRIST IN HIS CHURCH AND HIS WORKS IN THE MIDST OF THE CHURCH FOR THE SEVEN AGES. Did you get that? Now I am sure you understand. (Philadelphian Church Age  -  Church Age Book Cpt.8).

 

        Pastor Kocourek by his heresies of the Godhead has proven not to have a revelation of the same and fits the above statement precisely; thus his lack of comprehension on simple subjects such as the new birth, baptism of the Holy Ghost, 1 Thessalonians 4:16, seven thunders etc. This lack of understanding causes him to formulate many heresies, which are detrimental to message believers.

 

 

 

 

 

KOCOUREK AND DR. VAYLE - GODHEAD

 

After studying the teachings of Dr. Vayle and Kocourek, comparing heresy to heresy, assessing the differences of attitudes, humility and other attributes, it is evident that Pastor Kocourek believes differently on certain subjects from Dr. Vayle. Several of their heresies compare exactly. Though he claims that the prophet was Dr. Vayle’s mentor, and Dr. Vayle was his mentor, it is absolutely a fallacy. This was only advertised to the public to foster his own ministry by using the influence and popularity of Dr. Vayle. This has been my projection throughout this work. If he doesn’t believe like Dr. Vayle, why “break his neck” to defend Dr. Vayle?

Teachings in which he differed with Dr. Vayle, are: “Adam’s sin was not that he took back his wife; Revelation 10: 7 was not completed, and seemingly that the tent vision is literal.” These teachings though opposite to each other are published on the same website. It is evident that there are great doctrinal conflicts in their ministries. Nevertheless, Kocourek’s defence was formulated to prove that I am against Dr. Vayle and is very disrespectful to him. Also that I am anti-message, anti-Branham, and in essence anti-christ and that I am of the devil.

 

 

KOCOUREK’S HERESIES

 

It is evident by the teachings of Dr. Vayle and the prophet that Kocourek does not believe on the subject of the Godhead like him. His Godhead heresies are based upon the Trinitarian concept of God. Though he is not a Trinitarian, oneness nor Jesus only, he has formulated a new version in the name of the true revelation of the Godhead. The Trinitarians believe as follow:

 

A.    God birthed an eternal son named Jesus.

B.    Jesus is the second person in the Godhead.

C.    Jesus is co-equal in power with His Father and the Holy Ghost.

D.    Jesus, who existed in spirit form, was made flesh by Mary the mother of God.

 

Kocourek:

A.    God birthed Jesus His son in spirit form as the light of Genesis 1: 3.   

B.    Jesus in spirit form is not co-equal in power with His Father. His office is secondary.

C.    Jesus the spirit son was made flesh by the virgin birth. He became God when the Holy Ghost indwelt Him at Jordan.

 

  • The first light in Genesis was Jesus the son of God.

·         God birthed his son Jesus in Genesis, in the beginning.

  • The beginning is in Genesis 1: 1-3 when God birthed Jesus the son of God.
  • In the beginning two beings are involved; one who is God and the son of God who is not God.
  • God was not even in Jesus until he was baptized in the Jordan River.

·         The one (Christ), spoken of in Colossians one, and who was with God in the beginning, was not God.

I will use some of Dr. Vayle’s teachings to expose Pastor Kocourek’s since his Godhead teachings in general are similar to what the prophet taught. Dr. Vayle constantly referred to the teachings of Brother Branham to support his Godhead teachings. His teachings are not based on the Trinitarian concept like Kocourek’s. He emphasized John 1: 1, and emphatically stated that the Logos was very God in another form, later manifested as the son of God, Jesus Christ.

 

 

DR. VAYLE’s TEACHINGS - GODHEAD

 

  • The Logos was in existence before there even was an atom.
  • John 1: 1 - The Logos is God.
  • The Logos was the expression of God.
  • The Logos was with God, but there are not two Gods.
  • There cannot be any identification of God apart from the Logos.

 

QUOTE DR. LEE VAYLE

 

“The Only-begotten Son was literally birthed by God when there was nothing there but God.” (Godhead Q&A #2)

               

“…there was no creation whatsoever until the Light formed, which means God gave birth to that Son.” ( Godhead 1994  P:21)

 

“…the Logos was with God;"…and It was God. Rhema Logos-Jehovah-Elohim-one God, right in the Greek.” (Godhead #1  P:96)

               

“… But if Logos is actually God, how can God be with God? There are not two Gods, only one God.” (Godhead #10  P:63)

               

“…Logos is the expression of God. The substance containing the life or reality, and that's what Logos is.” (Godhead #7  P:46)

 

“…So therefore, we have something in the beginning with which God is identified, and is actually of God, and must be so much a part of God that there cannot be any identification of God apart from whatever is there, which is called 'Logos,' so that God Himself is known as 'The Logos.'” (Godhead #12  P:15)

 

                We highly compliment Dr. Vayle. We never knew that he had such understanding on the Godhead and we are assured and more confident of his sincerity, honesty, love for God and salvation.

                We will let Dr. Vayle refute the heresies of Kocourek, on this subject, by his scriptural statements, along with those of W. M. Branham.

 

 

EXPOSITION IN LOVE

 

                I wish to expose these heresies in the same spirit of love and understanding in which I exposed them in 2003. I do not think that Pastor Kocourek meant to be wrong or to formulate heresies when he wrote that book on the subject of the Godhead. I only change my approach to correction when people refuse to be admonished. May Brother Kocourek find grace to understand that his doctrine is wrong on the Godhead, though he himself was trying to expose the oneness heresy around the message, even as I have done since 1968. The prophet himself denounced that doctrine throughout his ministry. That heresy is based upon the idea that “God and His son Jesus are the self-same person, and the son is the incarnation of the Father.”

 

ONENESS – JESUS ONLY SPIRIT - DOGMATIC

 

Quote W.M.B.: E-96 There's only one God. And I different with the organization of Pentecost that calls the Oneness like your finger is one. That's wrong. Absolutely, it's wrong. God... Jesus couldn't have been His Own Father, and if God is a Man, then Jesus was born sexual desire and not virgin birth. That settles the whole thing. You see? If He's one like your finger's one, then what? Then He was His Own daddy. How could He have been? That's wrong. He had a Father, Jesus did. (Show Us The Father 53-0907A).

 

                Quote: E-71 And some people say, "He's a 'Jesus Only,'" You're mistaken there. I wouldn't have that kind of a spirit on me. There that dogmatic, ungodly thing that... No, sir. I'm not Oneness. Not at all. I'm not trinity either. I'm a Christian. I believe in God. I believe in God manifested in three offices. Now His office is in my heart, in your heart. Not another God somewhere else; another God somewhere else; another God somewhere else. That's as pagan as pagan can be. Never one time was that even thought of until the Nicean Council. Find it in the Bible, or find it in history--till that time. It's not there. (Abraham’s Covenant Confirmed 61-0318).

 

Pastor Kocourek’s attitude to this exposition of his Godhead heresies will prove whether he has any honesty, sincerity and humility, because his heresies were infallibly disproved by the written Word and quotations of the prophet in this very first heresy that I am about to expose from his book, which annuls all his other teachings on the subject. I emphatically declare, by the written Word of God and the message of the prophet, that Jesus was not co-existant with God in spirit form, but the Word was God-John 1: 1. He was made flesh: John 1: 14 by the virgin birth and given the name Jesus. Even if the prophet referred to him as the son of the spirit, yet that was not Jesus but the very expression of God, the Word was God, the Logos. This will be the basis of the following exposition.

 

Heretical Article No. 789: The first light created in Genesis was Jesus the son of God.

 

Quote Pastor Kocourek: Now, in verse 3 we read And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. We see in the very beginning God birthed Himself a Son… Therefore, we can see that this first Light in Genesis 1:3 is the Son of God. (The Godhead.) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light...And God called the light Day...This light is not the s.u.n because we see the sun spoken of in verse 14...  I believe according to what brother Branham taught us, it speaks of the SON of God. (The Godhead.)

 

E.O.D.H. Answer: The prophet never taught this error, he spoke of another light at another time. This gross error is the basis of Kocourek’s heresy formulated on the subject of the Godhead. It is a heresy to say that the light of Genesis 1:3 was at the beginning. It was not. It was on the first day of God’s week of creation-Genesis 1:4-5. The prophet said that the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth might have been a hundred trillion years before Genesis creation.

 

Genesis 1: 4-5 <And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.>

 

The first light created in Genesis 1:3, was not Jesus the son of God. This is also a mammoth heresy, which will be exposed immediately after the one above. That light was specially created by God to divide the 1000 years days of creation upon the earth. Such day, was from evening to morning-Genesis 1: 5. The creation of that light took place on the first day of creation on earth. Not at the beginning of Gen 1:1. The prophet placed it a hundred trillion years before that first day.

 

Quote W.M.B. He might've been a hundred trillion years making it... But then the creation begin to spring up now in the other time, when He begin”. (Countdown 62-0909M).

 

God created the earth in six days and rested on the seventh day. The creation of the two great lights–sun and moon on the fourth day divided the 24 hours day. The scripture is silent about that first created light, since the creation was completed by God. God created that light because darkness covered the deep. Both kinds of lights, created in Genesis, were to divide days. The first divided the thousand years day of God, and the second the 24 hours day of man.

 

Genesis 1: 2-3 <And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.>

 

SIX DAYS – 6000 YEARS GOD BUILT WORLD

 

Quote W.M.B.: E-33 In six thousand years, God built the world. Seven thousand is a type of the millennium, His rest... As God labored and built the world in six days, six thousands years (which we know the Scripture speaks that a day is a thousand years in heaven). (Fellowship 60-0611B).

 

Quote: 10-4 Satan won it, and he took it over. And he's had six thousand years to build up his Eden, as God had six thousand years to bring His Eden to a close. (Satan’s Eden 65-0829).

 

II Peter 3:8 <But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.>

 

I emphatically state that the light of Genesis 1:3 was not the Lord Jesus Christ, the son of God. It was not the Logos of John 1:1-3. The Logos was formed before all creation. Dr. Vayle taught likewise. Kocourek is wrong!

 

THERE WAS NO CREATION UNTIL THE LIGHT WAS FORMED

 

Quote Dr. Vayle: Now, the Bible distinctly says that God, by Christ Jesus, created all things…And It's not talking about the ages. It's talking about the absolute, sheer creation…But there was no creation whatsoever until the Light formed, which means God gave birth to that Son. (Lee Vayle  Godhead   Godhead 1994  P:21)

 

 

Heretical Article No. 790: God birthed His son Jesus in Genesis, in the beginning.

 

Quote Pastor Kocourek: …What then is this first Light we see in Genesis. From the Message "QA ON GENESIS 53-0729 010 he said, "Out of God came the Logos, which was the Son of God;

 

E.O.D.H. Answer: Jesus was birthed by Mary, after she conceived by the Holy Ghost; God the father – Matthew 1:18. That was approximately 2000 years ago, and not 6000 years ago in Genesis. The scriptures declared Him to be the only begotten son of God who came to save mankind, by shedding His blood at Calvary.

Pastor Kocourek by his gross misunderstanding of what the prophet taught concerning the Word or the Logos, which came into being in the beginning, confused this existence with Jesus the son of God. Jesus never co-existed with the Father. He only came into existence on earth when He was born from Mary. He was both humanity and divinity, since he was one with God here on earth. He was the Word-Logos about one hundred trillion years, before that time.-John 1:1-Genesis 1:1, Colossians chapter 1. Let Dr. Vayle teach his student.

 

LIGHT OR SON OF GOD FORMED BEFORE THERE WAS NOTHING BUT GOD

 

Quote Dr. Lee Vayle: Now you go back to Genesis, and see if you find Adam being born. He wasn't. The Only-begotten Son was literally birthed by God when there was nothing there but God. So when, as Bro. Branham said, "The Light-or Son of God formed" he was telling us of the begetting, as It says in Scripture. (Godhead Q&A #2)  

 

Quote Dr. Vayle: So when God said, "I want to have a Son," what came forth? A light formed, and it formed from God Himself, because nothing else was there to form from. (Godhead #8  P:43)

 

 

Heretical Article No. 791: The beginning was in Genesis when God birthed Jesus the son of God.

 

Quote Pastor Kocourek: We see in the very beginning God birthed Himself a Son…

...Therefore, we can see that this first Light in Genesis 1:3 is the Son of God. (The Godhead.)

 

E.O.D.H. Answer: Again, this is the great error that Pastor Kocourek made in his explanation of the Godhead. He isolated the beginning to the beginning of the creation upon the earth. He failed to recognize that there was a beginning before that time when God created principalities and powers, angels of God, Seraphims and Cherubims. This includes Lucifer and his angels and all things that were created before the creation of the things on earth. If Pastor Kocourek would deny this, then he would have to tell us when did the war in heaven between Michael and His angels and the dragon and his angels take place, and also other spiritual activities.

 

Revelation 12:7-9 <And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.>

 

Ezekiel 28:13-15 <Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.>

 

Isaiah 14:12-15 <How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.>

 

Job 38: 4-7 <Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?>

 

Quote W.M.B.: 140 …Job said... "Where was you when I laid the foundations of the world, when the morning stars sang together and the sons of God shouted for joy?" millions of years before the foundation of the world. Amen. Whew. That's right. (Witnesses 53-0405E).

 

It is a total impossibility to fit such activities in the Genesis six-day creation. The Heavens and the earth were created at that beginning. This is when the Logos, Word, which means thought and expression, came into manifestation. The Logos, Christ, the Word evolved out of God. He was not birthed in the sense of a separate individual secondary to God, as that would make the Logos the second person in the Godhead. Jesus was not in existence at the beginning or the beginning of God’s creation in Genesis, but only came into existence when God created Him in the womb of Mary and was born Jesus the son of God. The Word-Logos was only made flesh in John 1:1-14. Before that time it was very God in spirit form. God was manifested in the flesh-1 Timothy 3:16. The Trinitarian heresy is that God had a spirit son named Jesus and he later was made flesh. Kocourek has the same idea. No! It was God made flesh. In Genesis, He was only represented as the Tree of Life.

The prophet said this beginning might have been a hundred trillion years before creation in the other time. That is how far Kocourek missed the revelation of the Godhead.  Therefore the beginning that speaks of the Logos is not on the first day of creation, but St. John 1:1-3, Colossians 1:14-19 and  Genesis 1: 1. All three scriptures speak of the same event.

 

GENESIS 1:1 BEGINNING 100 TRILLION YEARS

 

Quote W.M.B.: 26 Someone was discussing it with me sometime ago, on one of my meetings. I was speaking on the evolution of man, and said he was only six thousand years old. And this man said, "Well, Brother Branham, we can prove that the world is millions of years old. So the thing that you're talking about, you're all wrong."

I said, "Don't you believe the Bible?"... "The Bible's never wrong, never wrong." He said, "And God made that world in six days..." I said, "Now, the Bible didn't say that. See, you just thought it said it." I said, "Let's just go back now to settle your argument. The 1st chapter of Genesis, said, 'In the beginning God created the heavens and earth,' period. How long He was doing it, I don't know. He didn't tell us. But, 'In the beginning God created the heavens and earth,' period. Then, 'And the world was out of form.'" That's when God started to use it. See?

... God made the world. He might've been a hundred trillion years making it; I don't know how long He was, but He made it. And He didn't say how long He was, and it's none of our business how long it was. He just said, "In the beginning God created the heavens and earth," period. That settles it. That's all of it. How long He was doing it, that's... But then the creation begin to spring up now in the other time, when He begin. (Countdown 62-0909M).

 

 

LOGOS BEFORE THERE WAS AN ATOM

 

                Quote: 15-28 …the next thing we begin to see, by eyes of supernatural looking, we see a little white Light forming out there. What is that? That was called, by Bible readers, "Logos," or "the anointed," or "the anointing,"... That was the Word of God. Now, God gave Himself birth to this Son which was before there was even an atom in the--or air to make an atom. (QA. On Genesis 53-0729).

 

 

Heretical Article No. 792: In the beginning two beings are involved; one who is God and the son of God who is not God.

 

Quote Pastor Kocourek: ...Brother Branham tells us that when God birthed forth Jesus, there were two beings involved. One who is God and One who is the Son of God.

...It is apparent that the scripture speaks of One who was with God in the beginning, who was not God (The Godhead.)

 

E.O.D.H. Answer: The beginning in reference here is yet a gross error. It refers to when God created in Genesis 1:3, when the correct beginning should be St. John 1:1, when the son of the Spirit, the Word, the Logos evolved out of Him. This is evident by the same chapter which stated that all things were made by Him.

John 1: 1-3 <In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The same was in the beginning with God.

All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.>

Later, after that beginning and the creation of light on the first day in Genesis, Jesus Christ became the beginning of the creation of God, the only begotten son of God, John 3:16, the firstborn among many brethren - Romans 8:29; Church age page 336.

Pastor Kocourek has grossly misinterpreted St. John 1:1 by misplacing the two beginnings, and by extension confusing the son of the Spirit with Jesus the only begotten son of the Father, who came as the woman’s seed, thus this is a heresy. While it is true to say that God and His begotten son were dual in nature and God was God, but His son was not God, in reference to Jesus as the son of God. It is unscriptural to apply the same to God and the son of His Spirit, the Logos-Word of Colossians one, who is the expressed image of the person of the Godhead; God in another form. This is proven by the Word, the prophet and even Dr. Vayle, in the following statements:

Hebrews 1:3 <Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.>

 

THE LOGOS RHEMA WAS GOD

 

Quote Dr. Vayle: Rhema and Logos are interchangeable..."In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God;" that tells you very flat, that the full manifestation was in living intercourse with God, and It was God. Rhema Logos-Jehovah-Elohim-one God, right in the Greek. (Lee Vayle  Godhead   Godhead #1  P:96)

 

ELOHIM IS LITERALLY LOGOS

 

Quote Dr. Vayle: But if Logos is actually God, how can God be with God? There are not two Gods, only one God. So let us see how this can work. Well, notice: #1. God is originally defined as Elohim, not Logos. He is merely the self-existent One completely known as that; but also being Logos by nature lying within Him. But He hasn't done anything about it yet. Now He begins to do it. #2. He now is Jehovah-Elohim, the Self-existent One with a relationship within Him to those attributes, or thoughts, that are within Him but not yet displayed.

So having the ability and being Logos, Elohim Logos, now He is literally Logos; and He lays it out first, it's all there, picks it up, puts it together, gathers together, moves in on it. If He is Jehovah-Elohim, He's now embarked upon being truly Logos. He's got a relationship to what is within Him as those parts. (Lee Vayle  Godhead   Godhead #10  P:63).

 

LOGOS - ALL OF GOD

 

Quote W.M.B.: E-55 …as He begin to move it in close to the sun, it begin to thaw out. Then God commissioned the Holy Spirit. The first Person introduced is God: God, in the beginning was God, in Genesis.

And then the next is introduced, is the Holy Spirit or the Logos, which went out of God, yet it was all of God went out into a Person. (Impersonation Of Christianity 57-0120M).

 

                Quote: 77 He was neither Jew nor Gentile. He was God, the Logos, the Word that went out of God. (Seed Shall Not Be Heir 65-0429B).

 

ALL OF GOD BECOMING HIS FIRST BODY FORM - LOGOS

 

Quote: E-15 And now, the Bible teaches us that the Logos went out of God, or I might say, all of… God becoming His first body form when the Logos went out of God. Let's look what It looked like. No one has seen the Father at any time, nowhere, never did and never will. (Pillar Of Fire 53-0509).

 

 

IT WAS THE LOGOS who WAS THE SPIRIT OF GOD THAT BROOD ON THE WATERS

 

Quote W.M.B.: 79 When He begin to brood upon the earth, and brought forth marine life... When the Spirit of God, the Logos, the Word, which God said, "let there be," and there went the Logos, which is the Word… And as the Logos begin to breathe upon the earth, there come marine life, and building up to bird life, on up to animal life. And finally there come something in the representation, or looked like the thing that was brooding over it: God, a man in the very image of God. (Seed Shall Not Be Heir 65-0429B).

 

Please note that Kocourek’s heresies establish that the light, Word or Logos was created in Genesis 1: 3. The prophet said just the opposite. The Word, Logos was doing the creating, and had already created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1: 1), besides principalities and powers and all things that were created before that time.

Colossians 1: 13, 15-17 < Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

…Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:...>

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.>

That reference to God’s son, coincides with St. John chapter one but does not blend in with scriptures which are pertinent to St. John 3:16; God’s begotten son as the sacrificed lamb. Both John and Paul in the above scriptures had a revelation of Christ. They were referring to the first beginning and attributed Godhood to the son of His Spirit. They kept that revelation separate and blended the same with the only begotten son of God-Jesus. They declared that the Word-Logos was very God at the beginning. The prophet W.M.B. declared him as very God of that same beginning, and all three declared Him as both God and the begotten son of God after He was born on earth by the immaculate conception through his mother, Mary.

 

LOGOS- WORD-ANOINTING BEFORE ALL THINGS

 

Quote W.M.B.: 15-26 Now, "No man has seen the Father at anytime." No man can see God in the bodily form, because God is not in body form; God is a Spirit. See?

...Now, but notice now, there's nothing; there's just space. There's no light; there's no dark; there's no nothing; it's just seems nothing. But in there is a great supernatural Being, Jehovah God, Who covered all space of all places at all times. He was from everlasting from everlasting; He is the beginning of creation. That's God. Can't see nothing, can't hear nothing, not a move of an atom in the air, not nothing, not no air, no nothing, but yet God was there. That was God.

...Then after while I begin to see a little sacred Light begin to form, like a little halo or something;

...we see a little white Light forming out there. What is that? That was called, by Bible readers, "Logos," or "the anointed," or "the anointing," or the--as I was going to say, the part of God begin to develop into something so human beings could have some type of an idea what It was: it was...a little Light moving... That was the Word of God. (QA On Genesis 53-0729).

 

THE WORD WAS WITH GOD – JEHOVAH ELOHIM IS THE WORD

 

Quote Dr. Vayle: Last night we also looked at Jn 1:1, "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God." Now you cannot for one minute deny the way the Bible is written. We read: "In the beginning was the Word," and then we leave out the peripheral: "and the Word was with God." So we now read it: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God." Thus God, Jehovah Elohim, is the Word.

So therefore, we have something in the beginning with which God is identified, and is actually of God, and must be so much a part of God that there cannot be any identification of God apart from whatever is there, which is called 'Logos,' so that God Himself is known as 'The Logos.' (Lee Vayle  Godhead   Godhead #12  P:15)

 

 

Heretical Article No. 793: God was not even in Jesus until he was baptized in the Jordan River.

 

                Quote Pastor Kocourek: Brother Branham speaks of God not even being in Jesus until He was baptized in the Jordan River.

 

PARADOX -- 64-0206.1M, 282 And this little Boy, twelve-year-old Child, no wisdom at all, why, but just a twelve-year-old Boy. The Father didn't dwell in Him at that time; because He come on the day when He baptized Him, "He saw the Spirit of God coming down, see, and went in Him." But, look, this little twelve-year-old Boy, being the Word; He was born the anointed One, see, to be the anointed.

 

23   Notice Brother Branham tells us that the Father did not yet indwell Jesus at this time. He tells us that God entered the Son at the river Jordan when he was baptized. (The Godhead).

 

                E.O.D.H. Answer: Pastor Kocourek has misquoted the prophet. He did not say that God was not in Jesus, but the Father did not dwell in Him at that time at 12 years of age. He had the Spirit, wisdom and grace of God before God indwelt Him at Jordan. Luke speaking of Jesus said:

                Luke 2:40 <And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.>

                God dwelt in Him by His Word-Logos-Spirit. In the very quotation above, W.M.B. said, “being the Word; He was born the anointed One, see, to be the anointed.” His statement blends with that of the angels at Jesus’ birth.

Luke 2:11 <For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. >

He was born Christ the Lord. Capital L-o-r-d is translated ‘Elohim’. The one that created the heavens and the earth is born today in a manger, born Christ the Lord.

                The following scripture verses blend with the teaching of the prophet that Jesus was born the Christ.

St. John 1: 1,14 <In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

...And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.>

Jesus Christ was born the Word of God and the Word is God. The Word was made flesh, which means that the Word who is God was hiding in his son, Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 9:6 <For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.>

Isaiah 7:14 <Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Matthew 1:22-23 <Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.>

The prophet based his revelation on the above scriptures and declared that Jesus’ birth was a super sign, “Jehovah God crying on a manure pile. God was crying. Jehovah God became man. He played like a baby but he was Emmanuel.

 

Quote W.M.B.: 61 But He said, "I'll give you a sign, a super sign, an everlasting sign. A virgin shall conceive and bear a Child."

...He had to select a place that this child would be born... And the sign was told to the shepherds, "You'll find Him in the stable, wrapped in swaddling's cloth." That's the super sign, borned over a manure pile... Jehovah God became man, took on our stock, crossed Himself from God, and become man. There's the sign...

... When that first little toothless mouth opened in that manger, on that first Christmas morning, in His little manger crib, and the first little yell that went from His voice, that was God crying. Jehovah crying: a man. Come from God; and was man, every whit, man.

...He cried like a baby in the manger. He played like a boy, on the street. He toiled like a man, but yet He was Immanuel. This is the super Sign: God dwelling in the creation that He created. (Super Sign 59-1227M).

 

Quote: 141 And that great Creator became my Saviour, come down to a little blood cell, not through a man, but come virgin to a woman; and took this little pollen from the woman, and formed Himself a little house and lived in it. Oh, it ought to be striking. Jehovah, Jehovah over a pile of manure in a barn, crying: Jehovah in a manger of straw. That's an everlasting sign... Jehovah, God, a crying baby (Hallelujah.) in a stinking stable.

...Jehovah laying in a stable, over a pile of manure, crying like any little baby.

... God said, "I'll give you an everlasting sign." That's a real sign: Jehovah, playing as a boy. Jehovah, Jehovah working in a workshop, sawing wood like a carpenter. Hallelujah. My, oh, my. Jehovah washing the feet of fishermen. "I'll give you a sign." (Smyrnaean Church Age 60-1206).

 

Quote: 197 God came to the earth in the form of Man, and unfolded Himself, stretched His tent, from being Jehovah God to become Man to stand the shame and curse. Little Jehovah God in a manger, under a pile of manure, down there crying in a manger. (Greater Than Solomon 63-0628E).

 

God indwelling Jesus at Jordan did not make Him God nor the messiah. The Father indwelt Him in the power of the Holy Ghost and endued him with power in order to begin His ministry.

Luke 4: 1, 14 < And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

…And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.>

               

 

                Heretical Article No. 794: The one (Christ), spoken of in Colossians one, and who was with God in the beginning, was not God.

 

                Quote Pastor Kocourek: Now, this duality of being did not begin when He was in the flesh. We see in the very beginning God birthed Himself a Son as we have already established and then God worked in that Son to create all things.

...It is apparent that the scripture speaks of One who was with God in the beginning, who was not God but was a companion of God whom God brought forth. In Colossians 1: 16 - 17 we read of Christ that," For by Him were all things created that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him: And He is before all thing, and by Him all things consist. " So we see here this One Who is not God, yet it was God through this One, Who created all things. We see also in John 1:3 we are told that all things were created By Him

...In COLOSSIANS 1: 15 - 19 we read,... "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created...What we have here is God bringing forth a Son and through this Son God performing all His creative acts. Yet this Son was not God, but the Son of God. He was not the Father, but He came forth in the image of the Father.

 

 

BEGINNING - LOGOS FIRST VISIBLE FORM OF GOD

 

                E.O.D.H. Answer: To say that Christ in the beginning, in John 1:1 and Colossians one, was not God, is absolutely wrong erroneous and heretical. To reduce him to the son of God who is not God makes him a secondary God. This is the foundation upon which the Trinitarian heresy was formulated. Christ, the Word, the Logos which is the thought and expression of God was very God in a different form. The prophet painted a clear picture of this great mystery. He said the Logos was the first visible form of God, since he was previously invisible. This is the greatest mistake of Kocourek in formulating this heresy of the son of God, saying he was not God in the beginning. He misplaced the beginning. Upon this misinterpretation of Colossians one, he has formulated most of his Godhead heresies. This is speaking of the first beginning, when time begun, when the world stepped out of eternity into time. This was before anything was made, when the Word was God and was with God.

 

 

GENESIS 1:3 - CREATION ON EARTH

 

                Genesis 1:3 was the beginning of creation on earth when God created light by the spoken word to divide the thousand years day. This has to do with the creation of things upon earth. This beginning was entirely different from the first. Colossians chapter one accounts for the creation of all things, at the beginning, visible and invisible, principalities and powers. Hence there is no account of such creation in Genesis. This is the scripture that the prophet used, dovetailing it with John 1:1-3, to paint his mental picture of the Logos coming out of God. He declared it to be very God in His first visible expression. The Logos was the fullness of the Word and attributes of God. This expression was identified by the prophet as the Logos and also the son of the Spirit, but it was very God. Moses was permitted to see the back part of God in this form. This was also the image of the invisible God as declared in Colossians one. Thus, God patterned man after His own image. It says in the image of God created he him, not the image of a secondary God or the son of God, but in His own image. This proves that God and His image are one. Hence it is stated that we are also in the image of God’s son without any contradiction of scriptures. He is the Word, Logos, thought and expression of God.  Hence none of these accounts spoke about the back part of God’s son or the image of His son but specified God’s back part and image.

 

 

JESUS NON-EXISTENT

 

                The son of God; Jesus, was non-existent at this time. He only existed in the eternal thoughts of God as the lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8). Four thousand years after God’s creation in Genesis, He was born by the spoken word of God. The predestinated lamb, Jesus, was manifested. He was one with the Logos at His birth; hence the angel referred to Him as Christ the Lord. He was called “Emmanuel, God with us.” The only reason that Jesus was exalted to that position of God is invested in the fact that He became one with the Logos. If that Logos in the beginning was not God, then we had two sons of God, the second by Mary. But since the son of the Spirit was very God, God declared Jesus as His only begotten son. Heaven and Earth embraced and kissed each other.

 

 

CREATION NOT BY JESUS

 

                God created the world, not by Jesus. That’s a heresy, for He himself was a creation (Revelation 3:14). He was the first born among many brethren, but God created the world by the son of His Spirit. Colossians one bears record of this mysterious act when it stated that Christ created the world. Since we do not have two creators, God and His son, it is evident that the Logos, Word, son of the Spirit, image of God and the first visible expression of God was very God.      

                Colossians 1: 15-19 <Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell.>

 

LOGOS IS THE EXPRESSION OF GOD

 

Quote Dr. Vayle: So this is direct Old Testament. But Logos, in the Greek, New Testament, is just the same. God, Who is Word, becomes living or manifested God, according to exactly how and what God said He was. In the beginning was the Logos, the God who said exactly what He was and is exactly what He is, which is the Strong One Bound by an Oath, this Word, this One, is God, and He is the Logos. So He's a Logos or a God-Word. He's Omnipotent Word. Absolutely He is.

…So God, Who is Word, becomes living or manifested God according to exactly how and what He said He was. So Logos is the expression of reality. "I am the reality, the truth, the light." Logos is the expression of God. The substance containing the life or reality, and that's what Logos is. (Lee Vayle  Godhead   Godhead #7  P:46)

 

GOD BEFORE CREATION

 

Quote W.M.B.: 15-26 Now, "No man has seen the Father at anytime." No man can see God in the bodily form, because God is not in body form; God is a Spirit. See?

...Now, but notice now, there's nothing; there's just space. There's no light; there's no dark; there's no nothing; it's just seems nothing. But in there is a great supernatural Being, Jehovah God, Who covered all space of all places at all times. He was from everlasting from everlasting; He is the beginning of creation. That's God. Can't see nothing, can't hear nothing, not a move of an atom in the air, not nothing, not no air, no nothing, but yet God was there. That was God.

...Then after while I begin to see a little sacred Light begin to form, like a little halo or something;

...we see a little white Light forming out there. What is that? That was called, by Bible readers, "Logos," or "the anointed," or "the anointing," or the--as I was going to say, the part of God begin to develop into something so human beings could have some type of an idea what It was: it was...a little Light moving... That was the Word of God. (QA On Genesis 53-0729).

 

LOGOS - GOD MADE INTO WORD

 

Quote: E-22 Let's close our eyes to our imaginations for a few moments and go way back…--'fore there was anything. The great fountain of all eternity was that spirit of love, joy, that spirit of honesty, that spirit of trueness in this perfection. And then out of the existence of the Father went the Logos which was the Son, which was the theophany, which was the body of the great Jehovah God went forth in a celestial Body. That's the Logos. The Word spoke out of them great Fountains of Life and went forth. And there was the theophany, which was God made into Word. (Life 57-0602).

 

LOGOS MADE FLESH

 

Quote: 54-121 All the power in heaven, all the power in earth has been given unto Me." What was it? Man and God had united. The Logos had been made flesh, and had been killed, and rose again for our justification, and was then the anointed Emmanuel forever and forever. God changed His dwelling place from a throne in the spaces yonder to the heart of His Son Christ Jesus, to live and reign forever. God was in Christ; He's the final resting place of the Spirit. (Hebrews Chapter 2 Part 2 57-0825E).

 

Quote: 142-132 God in the beginning was Spirit. And then from God went out the Logos, or the Theophany which was a form of a man called the Son of God (prefigured). He came in earth in a body of flesh, even before He came in Jesus Christ…when Moses saw Him… he said it was the back part of a man. That was that Theophany. (Hebrews Chapter 4 57-0901E).

 

We will now turn our attention to Dr. Vayle’s heresies on the seven thunders, which include the tent vision. This will prove that Pastor Kocourek believes entirely different from his mentor on the tent vision. This shows that he was not faithfully taught by Dr. Vayle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HERESIES OF DR. LEE VAYLE’S 1969 MESSAGE:

“THE 7 SEALS AND THE 7 THUNDERS”

Heretical Articles Nos. 795 to 800

 

                We now have the proof that Dr. Vayle was one of the first preachers who ventured to interpret the 7th seal/7 thunders. All others, according to our previous knowledge, dated back to 1973 or thereafter. The C.A.B. was in circulation from December 1965. Knowing what he stated on C.A.B. page 327, he knew that he owed the people an explanation and had to identify where the prophet preached the thunders before his departure. If his revelation was true, why did he only come to that knowledge in 1969? He would have gone to the prophet, being so close to him, in writing the C.A.B., and asked about the revealing of the thunders. Why wait until 1969, after his death? The approach of Dr. Vayle to the subject of the 7 thunders was very humble and honest. He spoke in suggestive terms on this and other subjects. That is evident by his own words in the following paragraphs:

 

Quote Dr. Lee Vayle: ...Don’t let him get in my way of saying what I believe is right... I have no vindication... If I’ve taught one thing wrong… then you don’t listen... I believe... to the best of my knowledge, and I’ve done the best I can tonight. If you see a flaw, I’ll be glad to hear what the flaw is. I don’t pretend I got it all down exactly… and I don’t pretend it is thus saith the Lord. I can’t tell you that. But I have done my best.

...Now Lord tonight I pray, if there be some little discrepancy in this message tonight, we both know Lord, you and I, that I did my best… Lord I would really want to see the truth. And I hope Lord that I am right... if that I’ve said one thing wrong, it won’t affect the people of God. (The 7 Seals And The 7 Thunders 1969).

 

Dr. Vayle further stated that the half hour silence of the 7th seal “from the time of the tent vision in 1955 to 1976, which takes you into the millennium before or by 1977.” The passing of time proved this teaching to be erroneous and he was humble enough to later admit that he doesn’t know what the tent vision means.

 

Quote Dr. Lee Vayle: Now, Bro. Branham comes back, or when he comes back... How he comes back, with what he comes back, doesn't interest me in the sense I don't know what that vision of his meant, with the tent; and he never did tell us; and it's his vision not mine, so I'm not responsible. (The Presence, The Kingdom Journey 07 Feb 1999).

 

 

DR. VAYLE WRONG IN HIS DOCTRINE – RIGHT IN HIS SPIRIT

 

This shows that Dr. Vayle, though wrong in his doctrine, is right in his spirit. The right spirit will cause a Christian to repent when he or she realizes their error.

Pastor Robert Lee Lambert, the Revivalist and first Martyr for the message of Malachi 4: 5-6, told me something that kept me on the middle line. He loved Dr. Vayle dearly and said, “Dr. Vayle is a member of the Bride.” This has proven itself when on 2nd November 2008, Dr. Vayle came to the pulpit and repented for wrong doctrines that he had taught, and it was published on the net before the whole world.

 

Quote Dr. Lee Vayle: “Tonight it’s going to be pretty chopped up, because I’m going to look at three things that I made a mistake in...

...Now, first of all we start with the correction, and the correction comes from Revelation 10: 1. And in there, there is where the mighty Angel comes down with a rainbow above his head, his one foot on land and one on sea and he cries with a loud voice saying, “Time shall be no longer.” Now, I made a mistake on that because when Brother Branham said that the 7th seal is Revelation 10: 1-7, I somehow tried to compress, and did compress in my own mind and my teaching: if Revelation 10: 1-7 was actually Brother Branham’s ministry here on earth; that is from the time of 1933 to 1965 because that’s where those major visions came in, and then Brother Branham passed away.

So, you have to pardon me for that “Boo, Boo.” ....that was, looking as I said, Revelation 10: 1-7 as the ministry of Brother Branham. Well, it is not. It is the 7th seal and the 7th seal opens under the ministry of Brother Branham.”

 

May the good Lord bless Dr. Vayle, and may he depart in peace at the appointed time that God has for him. God never led me to denounce him as a heretic and one who is seeking a special office. He confirmed the same by his testimony on his November 2nd message:

 

Quote Dr. Lee Vayle: “… if I were to live another thirty years…it would be the same way: no thought of leadership or no thought of being any authority or no thought of having something that someone else doesn’t have. It’s just a brother and sister attitude. That’s all I’ve ever had… My purpose is only to tell people exactly what I see.

...So, long as we have this on tape and people know where I’m coming from, that I have no ambition; never have had. To be of service? Yes. To be helpful to Brother Branham? Absolutely, and to be helpful to you, and also to anyone because God gives the sun and the rain on the just and the unjust.”

 

                I truly believe that the contents of this discourse was not exposed to Dr. Vayle, and if so, not in their true manner or he would repent. He has proven himself to be a man of such honour.  I also believe that Pastor Kocourek has a space of repentance. I have not placed him at the white throne Judgment, nor in Hebrews 6: 4-6, but have denounced his unscriptural teachings. May the Lord bless him with eyesalve that he may see.

 

 

                Heretical Article No. 795: If the tent vision is a literal vision, it cannot fit in the Word.

 

Quote Dr. Lee Vayle: Brother Branham said,… the vision of the tent with the three pull, slid in the Word. I don’t see any Word for there for a woman, any prayer line taking up prayer cards; and any woman talking to people… To me if that were a literal tent and that was literal women, then Brother Branham booed when he said women can’t preach or exercise authority. If that was a literal vision it couldn’t have slid in the Word as far as I can see. I said far as I can see. I might be wrong. God’s gonna have to help me get this ironed out... Where do you find that sliding in the Word? (The 7 Seals And The 7 Thunders 1969).

 

                E.O.D.H. Answer: The prophet looked for a literal tent unto the end of his life. He never spiritualized it by losing faith in God’s promise. All three pulls were literal; therefore the tent was literal because the tent was the venue for the third pull manifestation in the fullness of its power.

 

                Quote W.M.B.:  6-1 …the third pull has now been vindicated… Now, it's in existence… it's just happened, so it could identify its presence among you. See? But it will not be used in a great way, until this council begins to tighten up… when the squeeze comes down, then you'll see what you have seen temporarily, be manifested in the fullness of its power. (Look Away To Jesus 63-1229E).

 

                The tent vision is a part of the phases of the prophet’s ministry, in type of three pulls. Yes Dr. Vayle, it was proven in the Word by the message entitled: “Souls that are in prison now.”

 

Quote W.M.B.: 41-3 Jesus' ministry consisted of three pulls. 

…the First was healing the sick, the Second was rebuking their organizations and prophesying what they had done, what they were, and what was coming… But His Third Pull was when He preached to the lost that couldn't be saved no more… Preached to the souls in hell that did not accept mercy, but were eternally separated from the Presence of God.

…Noah's ministry, all ministries done the same… Noah preached… He went into the ark, and when he went into the ark, there was seven days that nothing happened. His testimony preached to the doomed... Sodom and Gomorrah, Jesus referred to both them as coming 'fore the coming of the Son of man, so shall it be like the days of Noah, so shall it be in like it was in the days of Sodom.

He referred to Noah. Noah had Three Pulls, and his third was to the lost after the door was shut. For God let him set right there where nobody could enter or go out.

… In the days of Sodom, the First Pull was to righteous Lot. And the Bible said, "The sins of Sodom vexed his righteous soul daily,"…

…Then He sent another messengers, two of them, and they went down. That was His Second Pull for Lot--for Sodom.

…But that last messenger preached to the doomed. He went down there. The Scripture doesn't say what happened, but the fire fell the next morning. That's right. (Souls In Prison Now 63-1110M).

 

Mark 11:23 verifies the speak the word ministry.

                <For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.>

There is no scripture to support this heresy. Yes Dr. Vayle, you are wrong.

 

 

Heretical Article No. 796: The tent vision is the symbol of the 7th seal and the interpretation; a part of the thunders.

 

Quote Dr. Lee Vayle: So what’s the tent vision? As far as I know, it’s the similar 7th seal, because the 7th  seal didn’t even had a symbol, and yet it was there... So the vision of the tent to me, it’s the symbol of the seventh seal and the interpretation. (The 7 Seals And The 7 Thunders 1969).

 

… To me, the 7th seal was a sign, of which the tent was the symbol, and the interpretation was the revealed Word to and in the Bride… This is part of that thunder. (The 7 Seals And The 7 Thunders 1969).

 

                E.O.D.H. Answer: The prophet of God never even indicated such thing about the 7th seal. This is just speculation by Dr. Vayle. His humble declaration is unique to this blunder. All should appreciate the honesty of Brother Vayle. Yes Dr. Vayle, your theory is wrong.

 

 

Heretical Article No. 797: The tent vision is a symbol of the 7th seal, so the half hour silence is a space of twenty one years, from the time of the tent vision in 1955 to 1976, which takes you into the millennium before or by 1977.

 

Quote Dr. Lee Vayle: The space of about an half an hour... taking a day as a 1000 years… if you take thirty minutes and divide one thousand… you will get…exactly twenty-one days...When did Brother Branham get the vision of the tent? Nineteen hundred and fifty five... If the tent vision is the symbol of the 7th seal, and the half hour from heaven is the complete 7th seal... So going back to the tent and starting in fifty five, add 21 years and you’ll get nineteen hundred and seventy six, and he said by seventy seven it is all over. The space of about a half an hour is absolutely… from the opening of the 7th seal starting with the symbol, which takes you into the millennium.... before or by seventy seven... (The 7 Seals And The 7 Thunders 1969).

 

                E.O.D.H. Answer: I am sure that Dr. Vayle realized his error by this time, since his mathematical calculation was wrong, since 1977 came and went. It missed it by decades.

 

 

Heretical Article No. 798: The symbol interpreted was “My people are forgiven. Those who follow me and this message have their sins blotted out.” It’s a great mystery.

 

Quote Dr. Lee Vayle: ... marriage and divorce was not preached as a carnal, human precept. It was absolutely preached in a symbol of Christ and the Bride… and he came back with the symbol interpreted, which was: “My people are forgiven. Those who follow me and this message have their sins blotted out”… he came back with the great mystery: “You have been forgiven.” For what? For your adultery, Why? Because you’ve been turned, and now you are no longer married to the old system, which is death. He’s dead and gone, like he said in Shreveport, now you can come and be joined in the marriage supper of the Lamb. (The 7 Seals And The 7 Thunders 1969).

 

                E.O.D.H. Answer: The prophet of God never applied it that way in any of his messages. Though it may be a type, it should not become a heresy. Forgiveness of sins for the church is not a mystery any longer. Jesus, on the cross, said, “It is finished.” If that was true, the prophet was spiritual enough to declare it to the church. Forgiveness of sins that seems impossible is not a great mystery. God did that before. He said to the adulterous woman: “Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more.” According to the Law, she was supposed to die. People in the Tabernacle and around the message; their forgiveness of sins, concerning marriage and divorce, seemed impossible. But God’s mercy pardoned them.

 

 

Heretical Article No. 799: Marriage and divorce was the symbol of the 7th seal/7 thunders. The symbol of the 7th seal/7 thunders was preached in a symbol of Christ and the Bride when the prophet preached marriage and divorce. The symbol was interpreted when the prophet preached invisible union of the Bride.

 

Quote Dr. Lee Vayle: ...he said those 7 thunders faded and they went into something which he couldn’t interpret. Now, what it is he can’t interpret? A mystery. A symbol. It went to a symbol, and he couldn’t interpret it that time. He went back to Tucson and when he came back in 1965 in February, he preached marriage and divorce in a symbol…. the invisible union and marriage and divorce is one and the same; and he came back with the symbol interpreted, which was: “My people are forgiven. (The 7 Seals And The 7 Thunders 1969).

 

I believe the 7 seals, first of all the seven…  thunders was what? The seven seal… Then came what? The symbol: marriage and divorce... (The 7 Seals And The 7 Thunders 1969).

 

                E.O.D.H. Answer: Nowhere did the prophet ever taught or indicate that marriage and divorce was the symbol of the 7th seal which he could not interpret, with the symbol interpreted when he preached “Invisible union.” What was a mystery to the prophet was how and when Christ would come. Neither of these messages declared this great revelation.

 

                Quote W.M.B.: 17-3 Jesus, when He was on earth, they wanted to know when He would come. He said, "... Even the Son Himself don't know when it's going to happen." See, God has this all to Himself. It's a secret. And that's the reason there was silence in heaven for a space of a half hour. And Seven Thunders uttered their voices, and John was even forbidden to write it (See?)--the coming of the Lord. That's one thing He hasn't revealed yet, of how He will come, and when He will come. (Christ Is The Mystery 63-0728).

 

 

Heretical Article No. 800: No preacher has any vindication. The prophet had it all.

 

Quote Dr. Lee Vayle: ... I have no vindication, and no Pastor and no preacher… any vindication, the prophet had it all.

 

E.O.D.H. Answer: It is complimentary of Dr. Vayle to give such a humble and honest confession concerning his ministry, but this does not hold true for all men outside of the prophet of God. The prophet said that the Gospel is not truly preached unless it is backed up by the vindication of signs and wonders. Therefore the vindication is not only for the prophet but for all who preach the gospel, and furthermore to all true believers. (St. John 14: 12).

 Mark 16: 15-17 <And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

.And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues.>

The signs and wonders were promised to all true believers until the end of the world.

 

Quote W.M.B.:  E-27  Jesus said, after He was risen from the dead, He said…, "The things that I do, shall you do also." That would be a mark of the people, believers. And we seen what He done.

Then He said, "I'll be with you, even to the end of the world." And the first commission He ever give to mankind when He was here on earth... You know what it was? Matthew 10: "Heal the sick, cleanse the leper, raise the dead, cast out devils. Freely as you receive, freely give."

Is that right? First commission... The last commission: "Go ye into all the world, preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. He that believeth not shall be damned, and these (plural) signs (plural) shall follow them (plural) that believe." Is that right?

"In My Name they shall," go to church and put... "in My Name they shall cast out devils; they'll speak with new tongues; if they take up serpents, or drink deadly things, it shall not harm them; if they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." Is that right?

And He was received up into heaven and the disciples went forth preaching everywhere, the Lord working with them, confirming the Word with signs following. (Living Jesus Christ 53-0906E).

 

  Quote: E-67 … the last words that He said when He was leaving the earth…He led His disciples out as far as Bethany, and He blessed them. And He said, "Go ye into all the world (That was Chicago too, wasn't it?) and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. He that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe to the end of the world." How long?... To the end of the apostles? To the end of the world. "In My Name they shall cast out evil spirits, speak with new tongues. If they would take up deadly thing, or a serpent, it wouldn't harm them. And if they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." That's what He said. (Book Of Exodus 55-1006E).

 

The opening of the seals was the third pull, to bring the full Word into manifestation, which must be vindicated in its full strength in the Bride, when she comes into that third pull ministry of speak the Word.

 

Quote W.M.B.: 100 …at the opening of the Seven Seals, Revelations 10, the full Word is to be borned into manifestation again and vindicated by the Spirit of God in the full strength, as It was when It was here on earth, manifested in the same way, doing the same things that It did when It was here on earth. Amen. Hebrews 13:8 said Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Seed Not Heir With Shuck 65-0218).
