    Serpent Seed Doctrine

    Before Covid, I was at a camp meeting in L.A area, I was sitting around with a bunch of preachers eating after a service. We got on the topic of William Branham. To my complete shock, this preacher (faith healer) revealed to me he also believed in serpent seed.

    He told me this doctrine is similar to predestination.

    They believe there are 2 seeds in the earth. One is righteous seed, and one is of luciferian bloodlines. Eve was beguiled by Satan in the garden and bore Cain.

    I've heard talk about this doctrine all of life but in a negative context. It wreaked havoc back in the tent revival days and split churches I am told.

    Anyways, to my surprise, a lot of people I've mentioned this teaching to say they don't believe it personally, but it's not a big deal.

    Any thoughts ?

    I never really studied it. I knew Branham believed it. I just never saw any evidence of Eve and satan having sex if that's what it's saying.

    Branham went off the rails with his teaching of it. I can't tell you much of it but 20yrs ago in reading A Man Sent From God had very few bad things to say by the author Lindsay except that he tried to keep Branham away from teaching and focus on healing.

    Jesus told the Pharisee's "you are of your father the devil"

    I believe that's one scripture they use

    Fuego, a lot of people believe fallen angels can procreate with humans. I'm not sure about this. I don't know what I believe on this topic. They say angels have the potential to come in the form of a man just like the angels did in Sodom.

    I believe you're right. I've heard that before. We use to spend some thanksgivings with family from L.A when I was a kid. They didn't believe in Christmas or holidays but TG was ok. They were Branhamites. My parents forbid us to bring it up or discuss it. Probably trying to avoid an argument.

    They all moved to Phoenix to avoid that great and awful day, the wrath which was to come?

    I know probably most believe this. I don't. You can't show my how a spirit can have sex with a human. Even though they manifest themselves in the physical, they are still spirit beings. And God made them with genitals to procreate? With who? He wouldn't have made them to procreate with humans. What spirits would there have been to procreate with? Just doesn't make sense to me and all the scriptures used just aren't that clear without something having to be 'interpreted' in a certain way such as who is meant by 'sons of God', etc.

    But I think you knew I believe that from other threads and brought that up just to get me to respond and keep the subject going.

    No sir. I had no idea what your belief was on this topic. I remember the thread title long ago but I never read any post nor go involved in the discussion.

    I believe it's false teaching and Branham went into error

    Even if they could it doesn't mean that Satan had sex with Eve which then resulted in Cain who then became the forefather of the nonelect. In terms of scripture that's nothing more than speculation upon speculation.

    And what happens when a child of two nonelect persons becomes a believer ? That should be impossible, if it's about bloodlines.

    I do too! I find very hard to believe ( and I don't) that the serpent had intercourse with Eve which produced Cain.

    Anyone who is yet unredeemed by the blood of Christ is spiritually dead in trespasses and sin (Eph2:1) and are of the devil (1 Jn 3:10).
    This is because of the fall and not because of the bloodline of Cain.
    If you put God First, you have Him at Last.
