LETTER TO PASTOR PETER WAN

And what R.Jackson had denounced is what you read in his "Contenders". Beyond that you know nothing. Do not presume to know the relationship R.Jackson and I had over the years. We had exchanged many letters and audio messages on cassettes between us in our correspondence. You might have read about his stand in his "Contenders", but you do not know beyond what is not in those papers, the questions he could not answer me. He had read into my words many times, and I have to point them out to him. He knew in his heart he was wrong. He remained silent. For many preachers, it is hard for them to admit errors. So, do not presume to know what you do not know (even what you had presumed about E.Frank and me). I will only speak out against preachers who play pucks with God's Word; twisting words of Truth into a lie; playing the hypocrisy like what the Apostle Peter did; putting words into my mouth (like many Branhamites have put words into Branham's mouth by quoting his words as Scriptures teaching false doctrines such as the Return Ministry of Branham, and Believers have Two Souls) to the harm of believing souls. This do I only after dialogued with them on their continuing falsehood.

I have a great respect for Bro. Jackson, for the stand he took against fanaticism in the early years after Bro Branham passed away. He had revelations given him of God that have been a blessing to many. But there were those who followed him that pushed hard on him to be the Chief Apostle (read RELIGO), just the like of those many followers of Branham who lifted him up higher than Christ, saying that his words are all 'Thus Saith the Lord', and that he had REVEALED ALL MYSTERIES IN THE BIBLE, etc, etc.

"But I am concerned about those sheep...where are they now?" Really? "Where are they now?" Well, go and figure it out. Are you that foolish not to see what's in front of your very eyes, what's been done?

Lastly, I don't care if you disagree with my teachings on the Sin of Ham or the Seven Thunders, or whatever. You can mention my name and say, "Richard Gan is a false teacher. Many of his teachings are false. The Sin of Ham is not an incestuous act that Ham committed with his own mother." However, if you twist my words or take them out of context, that's a different story. I won’t fault you on your view and teaching of the Sin of Ham, or the Two Trees, or the Seven Thunders. Remember, “No books but the Bible”; No Spoken Word books but the Bible. You can have a comment or two of what Branham said, but not a bunch of QUOTES and QUOTES. I will be happy to read if you have them posted on your website, I will not correct you because I am not called to correct preachers' doctrines. Many have asked me, "Bro. Branham said this and that and such; what do you think; was he right?" My answer to them: "What do you yourself think?" I am not called to interpret what Branham said; I am not called to study Branham's sermon books as if they are part of God’s Sacred Scripture. I am called to study God's Word and not to be ashamed to "rightly dividing the Word of Truth". I am not ashamed of the heavenly vision He gave me. If you, Peter, have met the Pillar of Fire and He had called you to handle the WORD, then do it, prove it. Otherwise, don’t; for without the anointing you can get really burnt, not just the souls of those who believe in you.

Enough of your to-ing and fro-ing.
Further emails from you will be deleted as it's a waste of time. Period.

B. Nice's letter to P. Wan, March 2012

           Re: Those who called themselves the seven voices thunders today.

Dear Bro. Peter Wan,

I bring you sincere apostolic greetings in the name of him who loved and gave his life for all who loves his appearing, even our saviour Jesus Christ.
My attention was drawn to your simple but lovely website some weeks back, and the portion that carries the above heading was read during the questions and answers session in our local assembly “Life Assurance Tabernacle”. Well, it was a blessing as the saints requested to re-listen to the message 'That Same Spiritual Rock' which I preached in Singapore that had also prompted the post on your site, to which I am now answering with all sincerity.
I had told the church here in Lagos, Nigeria, how we met during my first trip to Singapore, and how you were a blessing to me, of which I am ever grateful, and in remembering the fight that I had with the oneness organization which I left. May the Lord bless you and replenish you for that and many more.

1. I would first want to respond to the statement you made about your health insurance which you surrendered to me for my wife's business. You did send a mail to that effect which I want you to recall. The mail went thus:

Dear Bro Nice,

I have given much thought to the Health insurance money which I must submit
by today and I did not. I will arrange for this amount of S$1,800 to be sent
to you as a loan without interest according to Gospel. This is because you
will be using the money for a busines. You can take you time or anytime to
return the money as the Lord provides.

Please let me know how should it be sent to you. Can I use Ikotun, Lagos
under your name with the Password "Brother Henry" by Western Union?

God bless you
Bro Peter Wan

I had to show your mail to the saints in our local assembly to clear myself as they thought by your statement that I took 5 million (what? Dollars?) from you. I made a humble request to you and Bro. Patrick Soh, who had openly told me he would love to be of any financial assistance to help me concentrate in the mission field. I never for once approached Bro. Patrick directly because you were then the closest person to me in S'pore.

Bro. Patrick said he was not sure of businesses in Africa according to your mail. You wrote me after you had discussed with him, and decided to loan me the said amount that appeared on your mail. I was not even aware of a health insurance until I saw it the day before you sent the money. Immediately after the dream came, the issue was raised, I do not know how it came about but Bro. Patrick called the pastor in question, to say that I was asking you for a loan when you are the one who said that the money was on a “loan” basis. I had not even mentioned this to Bro. Patrick since then, and the way you now presented the issue is clearly misleading, as those who read it on your site will only run with what they see without the clear picture.

2. You also mentioned that I believe that I am one of those men (Thunders). In doing so, you pass a death sentence on me.

Be not deceived. God is not mocked. I predict this year another of those who called
themselves the 7 voices will also die in like manner. You can imagine how sad I
was after having so great fellowship with a Brother from Nigeria, even surrendering
my 5 million commercial health insurance premium to help his wife doing business,
that he believes he is one of those men.

I just wonder how you arrived at this conclusion, as someone asked me in church “Brother! Did he hear that from you?” “Certainly not,” I told them, for I have never preached such a thing. By this statement, you have classified me a thunder of which I am not. Again this is misleading those who will come in contact with your post.

I will begin my response to this thunder issue by first recalling the dream that seem to tear us apart, and had caused you to write these things.

1.                 Fly East (My Dream of The Scream).
This very dream was the force that brought me to Asia in 2005. As I journeyed, I was led to preach to a Telugu speaking community of Hindus in a small town near Secunderabad, India and started a new church there. I also miraculously preach in a Catholic Church after the healing of a retired army general who had kidney problem, and baptising over 40 of its believers before coming over to Singapore.
In S'pore before your very eyes, the Lord led me to minister and re-baptise a top Pentecostal pastor, a Muslim woman, and a strong member of the Jewish synagogue who was in the same fellowship with you until a year ago as you reported, when I demanded of his well-being.

2.     The same God who gave the first dream, gave a 2^nd and upon this 2^nd dream my present ministry has been established and proven before many witnesses. The very dream in question was about the Clean flowing River (See the dream in full) in which I saw the Prophet and those that had gone on before him on a straight line up to Adam, and their images were cloudy as it goes further.

This vision has given me the insight to the message 'the great gathering'.
The only living person I saw in that dream happens to be the wrong person to you and many others who feel it ought not to have been so. Yes! Bro. Wan, you know that even at first, I was very uncomfortable with the dream myself. You have known me personally, and I have proven by the grace of God at least not to be a hypocrite. I have never played the double game nor sought to buy friendship anywhere in the world, that is why I always leave the high and rich in the cities and head straight to the villages to look for those that have the ears of life in them. Out of these have come the many notable testimonies of the grace of God in this humble ministry which I received of the Lord.

In your letter, you seem to question the dream by this statement “He believed this local pastor because he was given a vision where Brother Branham was drawing water from one side of the stream and the local pastor in like manner was drawing water from the opposite side of the stream. When he first told me the vision, I thought it was strange but after praying I realised he was of the opposite side.” And also you did pray concerning the vision and came out comforted because you discovered
“he was of the opposite side”, for in that you had re-dreamed it yourself the way it ought to have been so as to soothe you, and help keep me in the good book of the yes-men. It is the same thing some of us do with the Word of God. However, just as many friends were questioning and helping me to re-dream this one dream, the Lord gave another while I was in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This last dream became a bombshell, as the interpretation was in the dream itself, solidifying the 2 earlier dreams. Please read the highlight of the Moroto Convention.

Dear brother, I would want you to understand that the body of water was flowing from one source to the other direction. The reason behind this dream was to clarify the very source of this local pastor's ministry in question. I did not run to the river with him, but being thirsty, I got to the river but my hands seemed to be too dirty to put into the water, and even my mind judged me not to put my dirty hands. Just then as I lifted up my eyes, here was this pastor standing with a pan asking me to take and drink. At this point I did not see anyone except him, but suddenly this pastor said to me 'LOOK BEHIND YOU'. (You know when I began to think in the vision what YOU and other ETM believers back home would say if you were all to hear me say I took the pan from him.)

IT WAS AT THIS POINT I SAW THE PROPHET AND THOSE THAT HAD GONE BEFORE HIM. I have not on my own stopped praying about this vision, and each time I re-visit it it’s like I am going to fetch from the same source. I said in one of the messages I preached, that the reason why Bro. Branham could not see Paul and the others before him, including Wesley, when he looked beyond the curtain of time was because the GATHERING IS CENTRED AROUND THE MINISTRY OF THESE 7 THUNDERS, I got that from the interpretation of the same vision.
I have come to see that many believers run errands for the devil without knowing, by trying to help defend God (The Word) from being broken, yet they end up standing against the fulfillment of the same Word of God. So were the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Saul before he turned Paul, and the very spirit still run its course by rebuking the very Lord Jesus Christ against the cross using the voice of the very sincere Apostle Peter. Jesus, turned looking at Peter, he looked beyond the veil and saw the very enemy. And to the enemy he directed his speech 'GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN...' That precious brother Peter was glad that it was not him that was rebuked, but the spirit that had taken hold of him instead.

        The 7 THUNDERS AND THEIR VOICES
Let me discuss the subject under contention, the 7 Thunders and their voices. This is the national cake of the end-time message group, that is, the followers of the message of William Branham. I did say in my farewell message to the saints in Singapore, of which you were in attendance, that the following school of thoughts existed:

Ö   Those who by the message claim the thunders have been revealed even if they do not know and can never proof what those thunders are and what they said.

Ö   Those who say it has not been revealed, but in order to be in the good book of those who are certified as 'message believers', Bro. Branham MUST resurrect to “ride the trail once more” to tell us of those thunders.

Ö   Those who just don't know and they prefer to keep quiet and go with every popular teaching on the subject.

Ö The last group have this to hold -- since they cannot find a solution to their blindness of heart, and also do not want to offend the yes-men of the message, they claim that the 7 Thunders is not for the Bride, but for the Jews. By this they still fall in the good boys' camp.

It is never a good thing to come to God as a “Ready-Made”, because He is the one that should make and mould us.
The Thunders uttered their voices, and John heard and was about to write what those Thunders “said”. It means the 7 thunders by this context are separate from their voices. It is true that I believe that those 7 thunders would be 7 men to the Gentile Bride at the close of the age to gather her. Before you crucify me, let me help the readers also to ask some vital questions.

Ö   Can God send more than one person to handle a vital issue as such, or is it not strange to the way which God does his work?

Ö   What do we need the voices of the 7 thunders for?

Matt 24: 31 says “And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

Would God really send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet (one message)?
This is talking about the 2 witnesses who will come in the spirit and power of Elijah and Moses. Would this not offend our anthem of God never sending two prophets at the same time to any age?

The ministry of the 7 thunders is coming to the gentiles for the great gathering, which is also found in the same verse (Matt.24:31). The following which none of us can boast to have experienced so far would then be achieved.

Ö   I Cor. 15:50-53 says “...AT THE LAST TRUMP” exactly the same word used by the same apostle in I Thess 4:16-18 “...AND THE TRUMP OF GOD”. Then the change (Redemption) of our physical bodies. Rom 8:19-24

Ö Our re-union with resurrected saints here on earth, for we will NOT hinder them, and they will NOT precede us.

Ö    The quick and short work (ministry) of the bride, which is the pre-manifestation of the sons of God before we are caught-up in the air. The ministry of the bride is going to be a short and quick work but the attention of the rest of the world would be distracted by the events surrounding them at that time.

Ö The receiving of the new name. I trust you too have read all of these from the message of the Prophet.

Ö    The bride to whom the voices of the 7 Thunders are revealed would know the actual day of the return of the Lord. We are not children of the night, and so he would not come to us as a thief in the night.

Brother Branham said this of the 7 thunders:
The seventh Seal Para.249-252, Page 503.
557-5 {249} Now, why? Let us prove it. Why? It is the secret that no one knows about.
John was forbidding to write about it, even, even write a symbol about it. Why? This
is why there was no active in_activity in heaven; it might give away the secret. Do
you see it now? If it’s so great it must be included, because it’s got to happen, but
when the seven thunders...
Bro. Branham separates the JEWISH TRUMPET (One) from the GENTILE
THUNDERS (Seven).
Now, notice, when the seven angels come forth to sound their trumpets, there was one
thunder. When Israel was gathered, there was a trumpet. When time shall be no more,
the last trumpet... One thunder,....
Now to the Gentile-bride he says;
...but here is seven straight thunders right in a row: one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, that perfect number. Seven thunders in a row, uttered not making just_just
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, straight. Then heavens couldn’t write that.
Heavens can’t know about it, nothing else, because there’s nothing to go on. It’s a
relaxing time. It was so great till it’s kept secret from the Angels. Now, why?

Please, my dear brother the truth is that you yourself have not stated what you believe about the 7 Thunders. When a sincere man criticizes another man, his criticism should come with correction or suggestion as to what should have been expected of him from the very on set.
I preached in your fellowship, prayed the saints there and they testified, glorifying God for healing them, and you decide to draw a circle and put me out. Would you also ask God to withdraw the blessings your fellowship enjoyed when we were together?
I expected you to have met me in person so we could discuss whatsoever, and answer any question. You asked me twice while dropping me off after preaching in your fellowship if I needed anything, and I said 'NO', twice you wanted to give me money,
I said 'NO', then you said “oh you seem to have too much money”. I told you what I had was enough and that there was no need to have excess. While waiting at the Airport, I tried reaching you but your line was off, so I thought it could be because of the discussion we had. I now have an understanding that it was what I preached, and worst of all, because it agrees with the teachings of this local pastor that you have to attack me. But now, you have clearly shown that you are very much against this pastor, and it goes beyond what you do not believe about his teachings.
Do you know that Bro. Branham taught us never to allow any bitterness to stay in our hearts concerning any man? Whether he is a believer or not, or else we would be as the people of other religion, who can go as far as killing when beliefs differ.

I have read many side talks concerning the teachings of this pastor you did not even mention his name but displayed his books. I want you to judge by the experiences of the past with the words of the Prophet “that a God called pastor is actually the pastor of the community even if they do not accept him”. Would this not be the reason why you all had in the past gone to this very Pastor for one thing or the other concerning matters of faith and Church administration?
A sister once told me that the only stable and consistent ministry in Singapore was that of the same Pastor, yet as each day passes by, the believers in S'pore are gathering self-made ideas only to get more and more confused because they refuse God's given leadership.
When Bro. Branham was so confused about his peculiar life and ministry and was desiring to be like the vast majority, in one quiet moment he asked and reasoned one sincere thought: “WHAT IF ALL THESE OTHER MEN WERE WRONG?”

What if this minister was right? Have you ever thought of that?
I am glad that God is working a work in my day and I am a witness. I am glad that He is gathering rough stones in this age, and my stone-type is considered.

The very moment we close our eyes from understanding the 3 stages of the coming of the Lord, 'the SHOUT, the VOICE, and the TRUMP', we begin to wrestle with every revelation that follows. I will not re-write that which was well written, but I will preach every of God's given truth that others have preached.

In conclusion, I want to say that a vast majority of the end-time message believers have missed the ministry of the Five-fold. I returned once from Uganda to hear some lie specialists say that the same S’pore pastor in question had mentioned the names of the seven thunders, who are mostly those that associate with him. When I demanded to see the material, the story changed. All I was hearing was “They say he said this and that,” and I asked if they have read it for themselves, and the response was zero.

This local pastor has got a very peculiar ministry that you as a close neighbour should be proud of, but as stated by the Lord Jesus Christ, there is no honour for a local prophet in his homeland. Brother Wan, in clear language the reason why I was asked to fly east was to be established in the present truth and that truth must be spoken by a living ministry.

Not that I am defending him but these particular distasteful untruthful words you wrote about him seem to be borne out of some sought of deep anger: “...before the local pastor from a self exalting group who exalts himself above our prophet got hold of him.”
Just how well do you really know this pastor that you wrote thus? Have you really read his books or read his writings on his website carefully? How many preachers of the ETM are so bold to face those denominational preachers who openly war against the Prophet and his message on the internet?
You should know that when you write to put down another, you are indirectly exalting yourself.
Did not some of those who knew the prophet, and were with him, later spoke negatively about him – that he had exalted himself above them and taught false doctrines, so much so that God had to take him home in an accident? According to you, that pastor got a hold of me. No, brother, God led me to him. The pastor is not a man who seeks to proselyte others or be someone that he is not like many “preachers”. Many have called him 'one of those projecting himself as an eight messenger' and have closed their eyes to his message “There is NO Elisha”.

I wonder how you have also become a pastor too when the tapes of brother Branham can still be played and everyone has got access to the books. You do not need to say a word to the people because they have ears to hear the prophet directly, you do not need to gather them as they can hear these tapes in their cars, or at home. Now that you are a pastor, you have put yourself in trouble because you would be judged by what you preach to these people. When you stand before God, you will have to prove to him your certification, and then preach your last message to him. I will do the same, and everyone that takes the honour on himself, will do likewise. Would you be able to honestly answer “yes” if I were to ask you this question: “Did the Lord call you to be a pastor, or a minister of His Word?”

My dear brother, I love you in the Holy Ghost, and you know it. I put to you that upon your confession, my insignificant ministry have first been vindicated before your very eyes and have been a blessing to you, and if this is true, then I need no deliverance as you stylishly stated in your write-up. You also can speak the things you have spoken but whenever we meet, and our eyes, come in contact, you would not be able to tell me that the Holy Ghost have misled me, for that would be disastrous.

One last take: Brother Branham said 'if a man claims to have the gift of healing, then it does not belong to God any longer'.
I have this to say “If there is any man that God had sent with a ministry into this world, and that man never made a mistake, then he is no longer a man but God.”

Presently there are 2 groups claiming that their leader is infallible, and that is the Catholics, and a vast majority of the end-time message believers, and that is why the pentecostals coined a name for them 'the branhamites'.
The Bible has this to say “And no MAN in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof.”
I Cor.4:6, 'And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us NOT to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.'

I have told you before that most of the preachers in Singapore are very busy businessmen, and so they should not be on the pulpit as saith the Prophet. I am praying for you that you will come to the light of the present truth.
Please note that any wrong use of language was not intentional, as my English can only accommodate few African-like words.
May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and help you to see beyond the veil. Shalom!

Your brother in the blood of Jesus Christ.
Blessing Akpan NICE.

Of course, that's what revelation is.

One of Bro Branham's sons once said, that if your eyes sees the sky is blue and science also said it is blue, BUT if Branham said that the sky is red, DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOUR EYES SEE or WHAT SCIENCE TELLS YOU, JUST BELIEVE THE PROPHET — if he said it's RED, it's RED. Really?

You are an African, you are black; if Branham says to you, "You are not black; you are white." Because you know him to be a prophet, would you therefore believe that you are white? (Only believe; just believe.) And you go around telling your family and friends that you are white and not black, would they not call you MAD?

So, FOOLISH BRANHAMITES are teaching LIES to people. Such people will never make the Rapture. If you want to make the Rapture, GET BACK TO THE WORD, and be PERFECT in the WORD. Branham even said, "Find the best teacher you can find, and stay with him"; so are those Foolish Branhamites your best teachers? In fact, they are no teachers at all, they are worse than the denominational teachers, who, at least are using the Bible.

Such foolish believers are worshipping Branham because they believe he was THE ABSOLUTE. May God have mercy.

Well, dear Brother Richard, I hope you do not think to want to enter into such foolish discussions with me. Perhaps you should simply take me off your mailing list, otherwise I have to write to tell you how foolish of you to do what you are doing ...See, you immediately give me a laber..."do not mumble". So what I was writing to you is "mumbling" connoting that I am a mumbler? And the words of a mumbler is supposedly to be negative....no substance and not worth listening to....and you ask me to submit a better response.

But how ? What response are you looking for? Why draw me into such a silly contractual prolong dialogue? Hcw can I write to make you understand? Maybe an illustration:-

Let me label your philosophy as Ganism....and those who follow you are Ganites. So how many types of Ganites are there? Those who followed you without question and continue to follow you? What about those who follow you for a while and left... What about those who followed you and now are against you? Are all of them Ganites? So the Ganites who left you of course do not follow your teachings anymore. So when I speak to another about these ex-ganites....And certainly there are a few of them in Singapore, and I can name them...for you if you like. Does it then show to the world you are now corresponding with that Ganism is in error by the behaviour of these Ganites?

Ganism seems to have certain characteristics...Ganism major on borrowing the prophet's name....to demonstrate Ganism is a better alternative to anything they labeled as "ism". Ganism also major on showing the negatives of the behaviour of any "ites"...even if they are also Ganites....who are now turning back to biblical teachings.

Ganism are also quick to label those who dare to question their behavior...as "mumblers". Ganism will throw anything at that person to show hos that person is one of the "ites" other than Ganites. Maybe not everything because you can't throw the kitchen sink...unless you are a plumberites.

You are now coming against me about Ganism and Ganites. Very childish.
Have I ever called your members who follow you Wanites?

In the first place, what is a Ganite? Did these people who left my fellowship made me their ABSOLUTE? Did they quote me for doctrines like you would do with Branham's quotes? If these people who left me are truly claiming that they were Ganites, then they lied. And you are a foolish man to believe them. I've fought against ALL ISMs since the mid-1970s. And yet out there, there are those who spread lies that I claimed to be the 8th Messenger, or the Elisha, or whatever. Then again, those who left me, did they leave because of doctrines? Really? Or, are you just making them up? Maybe, one or two disagreed with minor issues. (Sure, I will love you to name them. There are about the number of fingers I can count on one hand. And these are those who have even told the others in the fellowship, different things.)

There are many who have problems with themselves, their conflicts with others in the congregation. And those that left, when others ask why they left Richard Gan's fellowship, they would murmur lies. They said one thing to me and the believers here, but a different thing to other believers outside of our fellowship. If you really want to know the truth, ask them to be sincere, and then let them know you would be finding out the Truth from me. Or, you can believe all you want about what you have heard of me from the others who left my fellowship. About two years ago, a local pastor came to see me to apologize, for believing the lies (and whatever else) that were told to him by one of those who left to go to his fellowship. That person did to him as what was done to me. I told the pastor that he did not have to apologize to me. When he believed the lies of that insincere person, he got bitten. So, be careful.

I have seen the insincerity and the lies in many believers' life. Many are playing with words, in what they say and what they write. Remember what you once wrote and posted on your website about Bro Blessing Nice and me? Remember also, how you called me on the phone years ago, and complained to me about James Nair, how great a ministry you had in teaching the believers while he was away in India, and how he was upset with you when he returned to find what you did? Why did you complained to me? And, not long after that, Bro James called me and also complained to me about you.

A very strange thing, indeed. I am considered an outcast, as far as the ETM circle of churches and believers are concerned. Yet, not only do I get calls from different ones in Singapore but also from those overseas, complaining about their pastors, their churches. Such ones have problems with themselves.

>>You should not major on negative issues and give false examples just to make it like you are telling the truth. Even the American Courts gave Brother Branham a citation for presenting the bible facts about taking another persons' life. That was when he preached the message "The Absolute" in Houston, Texas, on March 4, 1963. He was asked by the same photographer 13 years ago, who took the Pillar of Fire picture in black and white, Mr Ayre's, Mr Ayre's step son and his girl friend, both kids were charged for murder and sentenced to death. Brother Branham presented his case against the death penalty and the courts re-ordered a re-trial for Life Sentence rather than Death Sentence. So you see, even the Supreme Court of the US listen to him.<<

Anyone reading what you wrote will understand that you are saying we have to listen to Branham, because "even the Supreme Court of the US listen to him". Am I not right in that? Or, maybe you are saying more than that. (Let me say this: We ALL need to listen to Branham. But what is "to listen"?) Maybe you are saying that we should not only listen to Bro Branham, but also do exactly what he said, believe EXACTLY what he said.

William Branham was well known in America, in his days. The judge respected him. And the court decided to change the sentence to life imprisonment. I understand that. But does that mean that we have to believe Branham if he had told us that the sky is red; or the Earth is square, or that the field of green grasses is not green but blue? Is that it? If so, then those who choose to believe are worse than a fool who says there is no God (because he needs proof of God's existence), for the believers can see but choose rather to deny the fact, the Truth, to follow a man, be he a prophet or an angel. (Should we believe a prophet or an angel if he speaks contrary to Truth?) Of course, Bro Branham was not stupid to say that the sky is red, or the Earth is square, or the grasses are blue. It is the Branhamites who are propagating that nonsense and lie. They made him the Absolute, a prophet who NEVER MADE A MISTAKE. And you are telling me that such an issue is to be left alone? Perhaps, you have not heard from the many who propagate such teaching. I have a ministry and I need to tell the Truth; and expose the deception which confuses the Truth Seekers, such as the African brother who asked, whether to just believe in something, if one does not even understand. (Some have taken the title of the song "Only Believe" (Bro Branham's favorite) to tell believers to believe whatever Branham said. How twisted are the mind of some preachers and believers.

A number of ETM preachers have argued against the Bible when it comes to the death sentence. They said to me, "Bro Branham did not believe in the death sentence". Just because Branham did not believe in it, does it mean that the Scripture is wrong? One favourite statement often uttered is: "Who are we human to take another man's life?" (referring to a judge, or anyone, who passed the death sentence upon a murderer). Foolish Branhamites just want to make Bro Branham, Absolute, in every word he uttered, not believing that Branham had his opinions, his views of things. Paul had his. One time he said to the Corinthian men who were not married - don't seek a wife; and to those married - be as though you are not, for the time is short. Another time, to the Thessalonians: "...be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition" So, which is which: the "time is short", or "the day of Christ is at hand" only after "there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition"? Interesting, isn't it, that Paul told the people not to get married because the time is short. I wonder, how many believers, if any, went about, telling other men, who have not read or heard of Paul's writing, "Paul said the time is short. Don't go looking for a wife."

Back in the late 1970s, two Branhamites from NZ came to visit me, and they told me that Bro Branham drank only distilled water, and that I shouldn't be drinking coffee or tea; and that I should also grow a beard. Well, just because Branham drank distilled water, I should too? But hey, what about the beard? Needless to say, they gave their reason, which was good for a laugh.

The law of God states that when a man kills another man, his life is forfeited. He will die likewise. We read, "Life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth...", etc. And practically every nation (they are not Israel, not under the law) today have taken the first part of the law seriously. If anyone dislike the law of "life for life", and would rather that all murderers (killers of human kind) be given life sentences, he has his right to believe in that. If a judge refuses death sentence and commutes it to life, he has his right as a judge. Maybe he believes in grace, and forgiveness, etc. A man kills another man's children in cold blood; and the judge gives him life imprisonment; how does it affect the man, the father, who lost his children? If the father is a Christian, he may/will forgive the murderer, and let it go. If he is not, how will it affect him? Think about it.

When Cain killed Abel, there was no law that Cain should be put to death. God showed him mercy and grace, yet God still punished him. He cursed the ground. And Cain knew he was in trouble with man when man multiplied on the Earth. They would seek to kill him (because of what God had done to the ground) because he killed his own brother, Abel. Now, the question asked, "Who are we human to take another man's life?" finds its answer in Genesis 9:5-6:
Gen 9:5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
Gen 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

This law was given even before there was a nation of Israel. A beast that kills a man is even put to death. How would a beast which kills a man, and a man who kills another man, be put to death? The answer: "by man shall his blood be shed". The Lord has given this law, right after the Flood. Does God believe in the death sentence? Did He not give it? So, can anyone do away with it, just because Branham did not believe in the death sentence? Or "even the Supreme Court of the US listen to him", therefore we need to listen to Branham, and believe whatever he said MUST BE TRUE...like the sky is red? Just believe, even if you do not understand, even if common sense or Science tells you otherwise?

Do you see what I am trying to tell you?

It was indeed very foolish of me to have taken the “Contenders” magazines and thrown them away under the pretext of wanting to read them after I had told the Malacca flock that they should be reading the prophet’s message instead of R. Jackson’s.

I had done it under the exuberance of a new believer. In my immaturity, I wanted to be like Peter (a defender of the faith) who cut off the ears of one who came to arrest Jesus.

I’m sorry that I did it. I apologize unreservedly and hope you do forgive me.

“Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel... commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men... And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭5:34-39‬ ‭KJV‬‬

You may, if you wish, use this, my email to you, not to exonerate me but to tell everyone what a bad guy I was. This is because you’ll be telling the truth. Only please use my email in its fullness.

Let me first speak my mind to you. You were fustian and arrogant in your words that particular evening you walked up to me to say what you said then. To tell you the truth: I was taken aback; I was dumbfounded by your words. Bro George Pike saw your body language and asked me what you said, after you had left. You know, I spent years, from time to time, traveling by train or bus to Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Malacca and Johore Bahru to witness to people, from door to door, of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. My Gospel work started while I was in the A.o.G. in the 1960s through to 1970s when I received the message of Malachi 4. It took me years to finally start a fellowship in Malacca. I baptized the converts and spent time to build them up. But in one night, you destroyed the flock. The flock was young in the faith. They were young as young lambs, feeding on the milk of the Word, and you were as a wolf, in sheep's clothing, that came to them in the night, to ravage them. Maybe you were trying to feed them, but with what? With Bro Branham's books only; because he's absolute and they were not to read any other books? It pained me to see this destruction, an assembly that I labored hard to raise, just to see you destroy it, in just one night.

When I found out what happened, I wrote a letter to your pastor, Samuel, and pastor Pearry Green in Tucson, Arizona (as he was then your church's spiritual father), as to how such an evil work could be carried out in destroying the work of a man who was called to the ministry of the Lord. I received no reply, no apology. Oh my! I could not believed how people who called themselves Endtime Message believers, who believed that they have the Holy Spirit, that they were the Elect chosen before the foundation of the world, who talked about Agape Love, about drawing a larger circle to draw in those who do not agree or love them, who quoted and quoted the prophet, etc, could behave so very unlike Christ, and their prophet that they talked so much about. That is one reason why I moved away from Branhamism because its spirit is destructive; it sows discord wherever it goes. I have seen its manifestation throughout the nations I was sent to minister since the year 1981. It's a spirit that takes believers away from the Spirit of Christ; it's a spirit that lifts up William Branham and his words above the Lord Jesus Christ, so much so that the revelation of Jesus Christ is lost to them. They may claim to have it, but their fruits do not show. They are religious people, not spiritual children of God. I thank the Lord God for being so gracious to me, to show me the person of the prophet and his place. Branham was not, and is not, in the place of Christ.

You said that you were not a pastor then, when you did what you did to the Malacca flock. Granted, that you were immature. But I expected better of your pastor and the church's spiritual father in Tucson to correct you and give me a reply. Nothing was done. Their non response to me tells me that, to them, I was a nobody; not a true minister of God; and they swept it under the carpet. Did they think they could laugh at me and get away with it as if God had closed His eyes to the issue?

Then again, were you not already a preacher or a pastor in the 1990s? When G.Pike came in 1997, he called for an informal ministers’ meeting, and you came late that night. Were you not then a pastor? If so, why wasn’t there an apology from you; instead you brushed it off, the moment you shook my hand? And why is it now that you decided to give an apology? Was it because of my LETTER TO PASTOR PETER WAN, that P.Wan emailed you, shook you? Honestly, had you not received it, would you have written to apologize?

That it took so long for you to apologize is disappointing. I live in Singapore and so do you. You could easily find my phone number and call. Or, get my email address on my website and send an email. Nevertheless, I am glad that you come clean with it after all this many years. I do accept your apology. My advice to you, if you are truly called of God: Be sincere, not with God, not with man, but yourself. Stay with the Words of the Scared Scripture, and not the words of William Branham. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” – 2Tim.3:16-17

Remember: Bro Branham called us to GET BACK TO THE WORD OF GOD, not to his own words. He spoke the Truth for that’s what Paul said in the Scriptures just quoted above.

Thnx for accepting my apology. An apology is better late than never, Brother Gan.

I know it's hard for you to tell why you did what you did.
It's okay. I have accepted your apology, and I will try to forget my pain.
