William Branham: "He [jesus] could not be son of god"
It may seem strange that William Branham once contended that Jesus claimed to be the Son of God, and it was infidels that don’t know the Bible that say he never claimed to be Son of God, yet toward the end of his ministry he said, “Jesus never said he was the Son of God,” and that “Jesus could not have been the Son of God then.” How can this be and who then is the infidel? The answer is that he changed up Jesus being the Son of God, to him being strictly the Son of Man in order that he could parallel himself to Jesus, the "Son of Man"—what WB wrongly defined to mean prophet. He was willing to undercut Jesus being the Son of God by saying Jesus “could not be Son of God then” ( in total opposition to the Scriptures) in order to accommodate himself. There was no time since the Son proceeded forth from the Father before the world was that he was not the Son of God. The very idea is blasphemous. Had anyone else said this, it would have been recognized for the sacrilege that it is, but being under a delusion makes one accept (or at least excuse) any and everything. 1 Tim. 6:3-4; Col. 2:8, Deut. 13:1-3.

God himself gave the greater witness to Jesus being His Son than that of men. Anyone that rejects God's testimony (including William Branham) makes God a liar, for he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son.
