Question

Why was Jesus born in a stable rather than a house?

Answer

Let’s look down along the line now, with a—with a mental vision. I see standing along the line, rich women with babies with little lace handwork garments, holding a lamb, a rich baby’s offering. Way down along the line, I see a little girl about eighteen years old with a veil over her face, poorly d...

Question

Was Jesus a prophet, or God?

Answer

And watch when the Jews questioned Him, when He went through all that big pool of people there that was lame, blind, halt, and withered, and all kind of conditions. And He—He said to the person, went to a man laying on a pallet. Just look, Saint John 5, how they was withered. Wouldn’t the critics to...

Question

According to Saint John 5:19, could Jesus do anything of Himself?

Answer

Watch Jesus here when they questioned Him about all these things, and the man packing his bed and so forth, that’d been healed. He said, now listen, Saint John 5:19: “Verily, verily…” That’s absolutely, absolutely. “…I say unto you, The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doin...

Question

How many people did Jesus raise from the dead during His ministry?

Answer

Jesus Christ only raised three in His entire life, to show that a witness of three is to be established. Is that right? In the mouth of two or three witnesses, let every word be established. Then God is living in His people today, because back there when Jesus came into Jerusalem, there was a great...

Question

How could Jesus be hungry Himself and still feed five thousand people?

Answer

He was a man when He come down off the mountain that night so hungry. He’s trying to find something to eat, looking all around the tree, trying to find something to eat. He was a man when He was hungered. That’s right, but when He took five biscuits, and two little fishes, and broke them, and fed fi...

Question

When Satan tempted Him, did Jesus use the power and gifts He had?

Answer

He’s one that doesn’t even have a prayer line. He just stands there with the Scriptures and explains It in such a way, till the people just have to see it. That’s all. And listen. That is the initial way of Divine healing. You know that? The Word of God will defeat Satan anywhere, any time, on any c...

Question

What were swaddling clothes made from?

Answer

And she’s holding this baby. I can imagine seeing He’s wrapped in swaddling cloth, the King of Glory, wrapped in swaddling cloth. They tell me that’s what they take off the back of a yoke of an ox. When it’s—keep it from rubbing its shoulders, they take this cloth off. And there’s nothing to put on...

Question

What did Jesus mean when He said the Son does nothing of Himself?

Answer

Walked right on over, and the man wasn’t too bad. He’d had maybe a prostate trouble or something, for about thirty-eight years. He was laying on a pallet. Jesus healed him. Then walked right on out of the building. Mmm. And they said He was full of love and compassion. His love wasn’t…It was to the...

Question

Who was the Angel God promised to send before Moses to keep him in the way?

Answer

And we’ve just stayed in one huddle here and preached it till you’re Gospel hardened, then the heathens out yonder, dying. That’s my vision. I must go to them. There’s where God has blessed. ’Cause they’re hungering; they’re thirsting; they want to hear something. That’s why I’m so with Tommy Osborn...

Question

Did Jesus ever plainly say that He was the Son of God?

Answer

May our Lord add His blessings to His Word. God in confirmation of His Word, of the testimony of Jesus Christ, was declaring to the people that it was the Son of God. Once in talking to a man, he said, “Nowhere in the Scriptures did Jesus ever say that He was, plainly say He was the Son of God.” The...

Question

Is 'eternal sonship' a correct way to describe the Son of God?

Answer

And there He come out. There was nothing. And then here come the Logos. That looks like a halo hanging yonder. No man has seen God at any time, now, eye to eye. And here’s the Logos. Looks like It’s a supernatural Being. It’s a Halo. That’s the Son of God. Not “Eternal sonship,” ’cause the words don...

Question

Where did the blood in Jesus' veins come from?

Answer

Now notice back, quickly. God the Father, a Spirit overshadowed the little virgin and God the Father, the Creator of all things, created the Blood Cell in the womb of that—womb of that woman and brought forth the Son, Christ Jesus, God’s tabernacle on earth. Amen. Then we are saved not by sexual blo...

Question

Does Jesus weeping at the grave of Lazarus prove He was only a man?

Answer

He said, “Why, He wasn’t Divine, Brother Branham,” said, “He couldn’t have been. I can prove to you by the Bible that He wasn’t Divine.” I said, “If you’ll prove it by the Bible I will accept it.” She said, “All right.” She said, “In Saint John the 11th chapter, the Bible said when Jesus was going d...

Question

Was Jesus born on December 25th?

Answer

So in the days when Jesus was born, they didn’t have press, and so forth, like we have today, and radio, and television. News just come merely from lip to ear. And when Jesus was born, some magis was watching for the Star of Jacob to rise, so they followed it over from the Orients and worshipped Him...

Question

What were the swaddling clothes the baby Jesus was wrapped in?

Answer

Let’s look along the line. But way down there I see a little girl standing, about eighteen, nineteen years old with a veil over her face, holding two turtledoves: a peasant’s offering, poor man. And she’s got a baby in her arm. And some of them says, “Say, that’s that Mary; that—that’s that illegiti...

Question

Why did God have to become flesh and blood to redeem man?

Answer

Said, “Who is she? Where’d she come from?” And when the harvest was over, the great lord of the harvest, which was Boaz, a representative of Christ to the church…He’d fallen in love with her, and he wanted to marry her. But before he could marry her, he had to redeem Naomi’s lost estate. And before...

Question

Who was the Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel?

Answer

Now, anyone knows that the Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel was the Angel of the covenant. Is that right, Bible readers? Which was Jesus Christ. “Moses esteemed the riches of Christ greater than the riches of Egypt, reproach of Christ,” rather, “greater than treasures of Egypt.” It was...

Question

Did Jesus use His own power to defeat Satan in the temptation?

Answer

I want you to notice how simple this is. When Jesus co—was here on earth, He was Emmanuel. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. God was manifested in the flesh in Jesus Christ, and He was the Emmanuel. And when He walked along here on earth, He had powers. What the Father was, He’d ma...

Question

Why did nobody but the Magi see the star?

Answer

The peasants, when they was in the temple arguing how—what kind of buttons they must use on their coats, there was some Magis coming across the country, looking at a star. They had observatories in them days like we have today. They even kept time. Every city wall had a tower; they kept time by the...

Question

Why did Jesus refuse to perform signs when His mockers demanded them?

Answer

Notice here. They put a rag around His face, and they hit Him on the head. Said, “Now, if You’re a prophet, tell us who hit You. We’ll believe You then.” Jesus never opened His mouth. He didn’t clown for people. Yet He knowed the woman at the well where here sin was. He knowed where Nathanael was wh...
