Is The Serpent Seed Doctrine A "Damnable Heresy"?

[TRFrance]

Dr. Vaughn, do you consider the article above to be a fairly accurate presentation of the doctrine?

What Brother Epley said.

SS is a damnable heresy without question.

Do not be decieved! it is NOT simply an alternative expliation of an OT story!

Seems to me there is a similarity between Branahm's teaching on the essentiality of why Jesus had to be born of a virgin birth and the reason why Jesus had to shed His blood and that of Elder Epley's view of the Incarnation

Branahm:

Look at Calvary. When that blood cell was housed up, God Himself coming down, building around Himself a Blood cell in the womb of Mary. That Blood cell developed another cell, a cell on a cell. And It was born, the virgin born Son of God; God was inside of Him, the Spirit. Then at Calvary He become a blood sacrifice. And a cruel spear embalmed His body, and broke that blood cell; Out come the life breaking forth from life: water, blood, spirit. And now that man coming to Jesus Christ today, and coming through the blood, comes into the Blood cell in fellowship by the Holy Spirit, becomes a part of God, has God's Life in him, becomes a son and daughter of God. It's just as impossible for that man to be lost, as it is for God Himself to be lost." ('The Mark of Christ', 12 March 1955)

Elder Epley:

Mary CONCIEVED what did she concieve if not the blood cell from God?

This is a quasi-form of divine flesh doctrine, IMO

Bro. Eply,, nothing you mentioned will either cause one to go to hell or heaven,, its disagreement at best....... none of us believe anyone is doomed to hell... we simply believe that in Gods foreknowledge he saw who would accept him and with that foreknowledge predestined those that he FOREKNEW unto Salvation......

Its not near as bad as you try to make it sound brother

Wow, what a beautiful quote from Brother Branahm,, Daniel, thanks

Dr. Vaughn or Elder Epley ... do you believe God has sperm or blood cells ... since they are both different in chromosomal counts?

Now, give that to a child

Come on. If that's how we present God to our children, we might as well throw out most of the Bible, especially the OT, where God is killing off entire cities and having entire families stoned because of disobedience.

We feed kids peanut butter sandwiches and hot dogs instead of steak for a reason.

If it has to do with an understand of an OT event that disagrees with mainstream understanding... then you tell me... is it Heresy?

If it is, then Post Trib, Pre Trib or Mid Trib is heresy... that has more to do with eternal salvation than Serpent Seed

I'm more of a pan trib person..........Its all gona pan out in the end.........

Bro. Daniel..... I believe he CREATED a perfect blood cell,, yes sir... one with no taint of Satan,,, perfect in everyway,,, pure blood... blood that carried that was required for a sinless sacrifice

Beyond the measure of these doctrines attached, there is a spirit of deception attached to this doctrine that brings distruction.

I have seen it. i have had to deal with it and there is nothing of God in it...
