The “Branhamites” were a product of this mess. If you recall, they were all over Ghana in the 70s & 80s. Not sure if they’re still in existence today. Their mission was to convert Christians to the Branhamite Doctrine/ Faith.
According to their doctrine, Christians were ‘lost’ like unbelievers, unless they converted to the Branhamite Doctrine. William Branham propounded many false doctrines, including the “serpent seed”.
This was based on the notion that Eve had sex with the snake in the Garden of Eden, giving birth to Cain.
To him, Jews & Blacks are descendants of Cain, “the serpent seed.” There’s no hope of salvation in Christ for the serpent seed. Ironically, this doctrine is used by several White Supremacist groups in America, among them the Christian Identity group.
The astonishing gifts of healings & miracles at work in Branham’s ministry were presumably a testament to the crazy doctrines & then he would say: “If I’m truly a prophet of God, may the Lord confirm the Word with signs following.” Miracles & healings (gifts of the Spirit) would break out; and they would be used to authenticate his bona fides as a true prophet of God.” and his erroneous doctrines as well.
