Frequently Asked Questions about the End Time Gospel FAQ
Answer:
“Brother Branham, I have accepted God's Message of today, and also our son. And we both have been baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. My husband--my husband hasn't accepted the Message and is fighting this Message. And he has influenced our son and is taking him to a Methodist church. He wants me to go with him to church when we are not in service here at the Tabernacle. Would it be right for me to go with him or would it be better to stay out of that denomination? Well now, dear sister... She never signed no name, but perhaps you're listening to your question; if you don't, you'll hear it “Brother Branham, I have accepted God's Message of today, and also our son.

She never signed no name, but perhaps you're listening to your question; if you don't, you'll hear it worldly habits. You said that we should claim our--claim our families. I find that difficult to do, seeming that they do not live for the Word or in the Word. What is my course, sir? Do I claim them and believe, or do I pray, "Father, Thy will be done," and be content in the state I find myself in? I would appreciate your guidance, Brother Branham. God bless you, my brother or sister, whoever you may be. I--I would just commit them to the Lord. I... See, because, "What all the Father has given Me will come to Me." See? Now, the only thing for you people to do...” [Questions And Answers 1 Jeff. IN, COD 64-0823m] “It made my heart swell with joy the other day going up and down seeing these motel men. The... I went down to Mr. Becker. He said, "Billy, you know what? I feed your whole congregation every Sunday"--when the Blue Boar feeds three hundred nearly every Sunday. See? And I went out here and this guy over here, this gentleman over here at the--the Ranch House, very fine man... I met him; he said--I--I said, "Well, that was really fine." I said, "I appreciate you keeping all that stuff away from out there--all that carrying on out there." He said, "Yes, sir, Brother Branham." I said, "How'd he know me?" See? I said, "How'd you know me?" He said, "I know you," Said, "I feed your whole congregation here every Sunday by the... Well," he said, "and I want to tell you something: they're fine people. They're fine people." Now see, that made me feel good. You my children. See? When I hear my children acting nice and being nice, that makes papa feel real good. See? So you understand.” [Questions And Answers 1 Jeff. IN, COD 64-0823m] “Now, now, mother, when... My sister, if your husband wants you go down to the Methodist church, you go ahead. You might not have a whole loaf of bread, but if they even say they believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, you believe that, 'cause we do too. Now, if they're going to go off on other tantrums and things, just--just let them go ahead, but you eat that much of the bread. See? And in that, you just show by the sweetness of your life and your consideration for others... And if you haven't got it, sister dear, pray till it comes to you, that you won't have to put on anything artificially, 'cause when you do that, it's not real. Your husband can tell that. But you--when you really have prayed to a place till your life is full of salt of the Saviour, it'll make a contact. "If I be lifted up, I'll draw all men to Me." I'd go; be real careful. Don't join their church though. Please don't do that; don't you join their church, but go on.” [Questions And Answers 1 Jeff. IN, COD 64-0823m] “Also, Brother Branham, I believe a woman should be subject to her husband. But if a Christian woman has a sinner husband who does not even to one of your services--come to one of your services and won't--and wants his wife to be doing things, cutting her hair, wearing shorts, and going to ungodly places, is this woman supposed to be subject to this man in this way? Please explain this more clearly, as this is a question that is asked often. No, sister, you are not subject to such a person. No indeedy. For this cause you'll leave everything and cleave to God. Now, the thing... If you want--that man wants to live with you, and you be--stay a Christian... But if he's going to make you wear shorts, cut your hair, and do all these other things, and ungodly places, you seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. You're not bound to such a person as that.” "But as long," the Bible says, "as she is pleased and he is pleased to dwell together (You remember that?), let them... "And now, these, I didn't put the Scriptures down, 'cause I just picked them up (You see?) a few minutes ago. I pick up one now and then that I haven't got time...” [Questions And Answers 2 Jeff. IN, COD 64-0823e] “But Paul said that as long as they--unbelieving
husband has a unbelieving--or believing wife or so forth, let the believing wife
remain with the believing husband, as long as it's not contrary now to God. If
he's pleased to dwell with her... "Go ahead, honey, if you want to go to church,
that's all right; but I ain't going. I don't believe in it; don't have nothing
to do with it. But you go ahead; that's all right." But when he says, "You can't
do it," now there's a different thing. You're not bound to that then; you
separate everything for God.” [Questions And Answers 2 Jeff. IN, COD
