I don't dislike BJ. There are just things that I disagree with about what he taught and what his current followers are doing.

I have already said that BJ was a man of integrity and that we should discuss his teachings. There is distinct difference in examining his teaching and not liking HIM.

It's good that you don't dislike Bishop Johnson because he was a man of integrity and truth. His regard for the truth of the gospel was relentless, as you well know.

Martha, how you define his regard for truth is simply a matter of opinion.

I read somewhere that Bishop Johnson was ordained by a minister named Lawson. What happened to their relationship once Bishop Johnson became big? Does anyone know?

That proves that Bishop Johnson had a human teacher.

Well of course he did but what happened to their relationship?
You seem to know alot about the man. Did they stay in fellowship while Bishop Johnson was alive?

Well Citizen, people are of the belief that everything BJ knew he learned from God. We know that to be untrue because he had a leader that ordained him. Now, they began to have doctrinal differences later on and there was a split.

I read somewhere that they fellowshiiped don't know how often but Bishop Johnson died in February 1961 and Bishop R.C. Lawson died on June 30 of the same year. I also read that they would debate over the radio.

Bishop R.C. Lawson(1883-1961) was the founder of the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ in 1919. Bishop Johnson seperated from Lawson in 1930 and founded the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ because of these reason's the wearing of jewelry and makeup worn by women, the observance of Christmas,Easter, and Lent.

Praise the Lord. Bishop SC Johnson was the real thing . . . a true Apostle. He preached the gospel without regard to fame or favor, unlike Bishop Lawson, who dabbled in
politics and social causes. He was a true man of God. I consider myself to be blessed to have known him and heard him preach many, many times until his death in 1961.
