John and Charles examine the origins of the serpent seed doctrine and why it became one of the most controversial teachings associated with William Branham. They trace the theological lineage from British Israelism and Christian Identity, explain why early critics identified serpent seed as a warning sign, and explore how this doctrine surfaced within healing revival and Latter Rain circles.
The discussion also addresses why opposition arose during Branham’s lifetime, how later leaders handled the teaching privately, and why documentation matters when evaluating historical claims. By focusing on sermons, associations, and published material, John and his co-host aim to distinguish personal recollections from verifiable evidence while mapping how serpent seed spread across multiple branches of the movement.
