I don't think ANY of us will get EVERYTHING right......
Oh well, just thoughts from no one......

Sadly Steve most of us are right fighters, partly human nature and partly environmental. I believe happiness is a choice. My personal opinion. I had to apologize to my husband the other day, because of the way I responded to him. If I was right or wrong, I don't remember, but I walked away and later apologized. Boy, was that hard.

Didn't we have a debate here with a Bishop Johnson follower. That is all they do is listen to his tapes. Maybe it was another forum.

There was a huge debate over this on GNC. I don't remember if it was ever discussed here, at NFCF, or FCF.

There are similarities between some of the "Johnsonites" and "Branhamites" as they are called. Both seem to attach a lot of emphasis on the departed leader and spend time listening to his tapes and reading his writings. They both seem to have stopped at a point in time and are not open to anything by anyone else since then.

I responded to him that way because he spoke of Branham as if he were still alive in the post I was responding to.

Re: I'm sorry, Dr Vaughn.
I asked about this Johnson fellow in the original thread that got moved to the debate section, but no one answered. There are some very eerie similarities in how the Johnsonites and the Branhamites view their departed leaders. Both groups believe that their leader was the prophet for this age, both groups listen to tapes from their leader almost exclusively, and both groups will vehemently defend against anyone who dares question their leader's authority.

Yes he is and it is false doctrine. Lying when he was alive and now he is lying even though he is dead.
