William Branham’s Logos: “A triangle shape cosmic light”
PDF: WILLIAM BRANHAM’S LOGOS: “A TRIANGLE SHAPE COSMIC LIGHT”
Restorer or Destroyer?
The logos (word) according to William Branham is:
“the Father,” “the Son of God,” (and specifically not the Son...“misinterpret Jesus Christ being the Word, you'd make Him the second person in a godhead”), “the Holy Spirit,” “Christ,” “a little white light, like a mystic Light, like a halo, “Jehovah God,” “a/the theophany,” “a supernatural body,” “a celestial body,” “a light,” “the Angel of the covenant,” “a body shape,” “a form of a man,” “the Son of God, prefigured,” “the Pillar of Fire,” “the anointed,” “the anointing,” “Father, God, Great Light,” “a triangle shape, or an oval shape of a cosmic light exactly right,” — [all] “that went out of God in the beginning.”
Does the Lamsa Bible cover depict what in William Branham's mind is the triangle shaped Logos?

William Branham said that the Bible teaches this (where?), and that any Bible student, along with Bible readers and theologians know about all this..(who?)

The truth:
“By the word [logos-LXX] of Yahweh were the heavens made..” “..For he spake..” Psalms 33:6, 9
John 1:1 “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. 3 All things were made by it..”
“The Septuagint, the translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek uses the terms rhema and logos as equivalents and uses both for the Hebrew word dabar, as the Word of God.”—Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, Volume 1, 1985, p. 508
In all of dabar’s 1,400 occurrences, it never once refers to a shape or a corporal form assumed by Yahweh or a distinct person alongside Yahweh, that literally went out of him. It rather refers to a word, statement, speech, concept, matter, oracle, or a report.
So whereabouts is William Branham’s little mystic white oval shape cosmic light logos that went out of God that all Bible readers know about?
Lee Vayle on William Branham’s Logos:
Lee Vayle with difficulty attempted on a number of occasions to deal with reoccuring questions that seemed to irritate him concerning William Branham’s “the Logos” doctrine . He had maintained and contended the Son wasn’t the logos of John 1:1, but in the end his allegiance to William Branham remained so that he had to read the Son (“a Logos”) “that came out of God” (WB-LV) into John 1:1 in order to go along with the statements of William Branham that taught it that way too; as he berated the people and laid the blame for the confusion onto them.
Lee Vayle 1999-1002.GODHEAD.#.1: “Bro. Branham said many things concerning this. I could take many Bro. Branham quotes where you could find him saying one thing, and it sounds just exactly like something else. He said, “then the Logos went out of God which become the theophany. And that was in the form of a man.” Well, now that’s a puzzling thing right there. And you can ponder that all you want, say Logos, theophany, theophany, Logos; and you ‘boing, boing’. Go ahead and boing, boing. Be my guest. You want to be confused, just be confused. If you want to get de-confused, then get de-confused.”
Lee Vayle - 1999-1106.GODHEAD.#.3: This Logos is what Bro. Branham said, “If you make Jesus God,” in John 1:1, under the conditions of which he was speaking and giving us doctrine, “you end up with three gods.” But you can quote him in 150 more places where Jesus is the logos, but not ‘that’ Logos.
Now we can go from there, and this is one thing I said I don’t like to do, but we’ll do it. I’m going to do some reading of some of Bro. Branham’s quotes, and it’s dangerous in the sense that you isolate some things,
[WMB:] [ATTITUDE AND WHO IS GOD] Let’s just picture now as a little drama so you can get it. Let’s see coming out of space where there’s nothing. Let’s make it a little white Light, like a mystic Light, like a Halo. And that was the Logos that went out of God in the beginning. That was the Son of God that came out of the bosom of the Father. That was what was in the beginning, was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[LV: ] That was the beginning of the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [Jn 1:1] And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. In the beginning was God. Now notice, he’s right back to what I’m trying to tell you: In the beginning was God.
In the beginning was God. What came out of God? A Logos. And then It became flesh. What became flesh? God became flesh. How did He become flesh? Through the Son. Now watch:
[ ] ...In the beginning was God. And then out of God came the Logos, a part of God that went out of God. Now see, what he said, “A part of God that went out of God,” a Logos.
Although it's not clear what the "errors within the doctrine" are since he went along with what William Branham said for the sake of not objecting, afterwards he had this to say:
Lee Vayle 1999-1106.GODHEAD.#.3 So how was the prophet’s language? Maybe a hundred percent beautifully perfect. I take it to be that way. So all right.
And remember, Bro. Branham did need correction. When Bro. Branham said he always had his doctrine right, that is true, but he had errors within the doctrine.
Reality check:
Errors within the doctrine that need correction is not having the doctrine right or language that is a hundred percent beautifully perfect. This is just more cunning craftiness and deceit to let William Branham off the hook, and keep stringing the people along.
83-1 EPHESIAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.3
HE [the last day prophet] WILL BE IN THAT WORD EXACTLY AS GOD GAVE IT TO PAUL. HE WON'T DEVIATE FROM THAT WORD FOR A MOMENT, NOT BY ONE IOTA.
1 Cor. 3:17 AMP If anyone destroys the temple of God [corrupting it with false doctrine], God will destroy the destroyer; for the temple of God is holy (sacred), and that is what you are.
