Bishop SC Johnson

[sis_perez]

How could he have introduced it to BJ if if BJ already knew that it was right? And why didnt Bishop Lawson get famous for stopping BJ's mouth - since he supposedly taught BJ? Bj said no man taught him anything. It just doesnt add up.

Barb, you are referring to your Bishop Lawson right? Well there is nothing wrong with giving someone something to eat or giving someone clothes. The bible speaks of "remembering the poor." But this being of the republican Party, Is that of God? Or is that of the World?
Is that considered setting his affections on things above or is his affections on things of the Earth? He should have been focusing on Getting people down in water in the Name of Jesus Christ. That would have remitted those segregational sins.

It isn't confusing. Everbody doesn't need validation by proving everyone right. Either you are or you are not. Jesus wasn't going around offering anyone who could prove him wrong some money. God isn't the author of confusing. Bishop Johnson didn't condone the baseball game but he sure did have his own form of rioting going on in his debates.

Martha doesn't believe in pastors. I gave you that credit, Sis. Perez. Please re-read my post.

The Bible clearly disproves the no son of God in heaven theory. Go reread future post. there are the scriptures to so easily refute this doctrine. Of course like the others, you probably have ignored those scriptures because you don't want to admit the flaws in the teachings of BJ. He was an awesome teacher but was subject to erros as any other pastor or man of God.

JESUS CHRIST IS AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD THE FATHER RIGHT NOW
Luke 22:69 Here after shall the Son of Man sit on the right hand of the power of God

Mark 14:62 I am: And you shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

Luke 20:42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, the Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, He hath shed forth this which ye now see and hear

I Peter 3:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto Him

Hebrews 10:12 But this man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God.

Hebrews 1:3 …sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,

Ephesians 1:20-23 Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places,

Colossians 3:1 If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right of God.

JESUS PRESENTLY MEDIATES FOR US
I Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus

Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever lives to make intercession for them.

Hebrews 4:14-16 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

First, I am referring to Bishop Lawson in my posts because that is the elder you were talking about. He is not 'my' Bishop Lawson...I never knew him.

Second, I am in this conversation because it is interesting, and I was COOLJC for almost 24 years.

Now regarding your question about Bishop Lawson being a Republican, and if it was of God or of the world...I will answer your question with a few questions...do you vote?!

Is it not our duty as Americans to let our voice be heard in the voting booth?!

Respectfully, it boggles my mind to see how anyone would think that because a minister has the ear of the mayor or whomever, and is allowing his presence in the community to be an influence for right, that this is setting affections on things of earth.

I can't speak for anyone but me, but I can vote and not lose my religion. Furthermore, stating one's political persuasion does not seem ungodly to me.

As for focusing on getting folks in the water, Bishop Lawson was strong and hard on Jesus Name baptism. Nothing I have read or heard describes anything less.

NOW, a final question...Sis. P, why are you so hard against an elder, trying to prove that he wasn't a man of God?!

Inquiring minds want to know...

I don't have a clue as I wasn't there, but I can venture a guess...

Perhaps Bishop Lawson thought it prudent to take the high road and leave it alone.

I've learned a few things in my almost 58 years of living on planet earth...

Silence is not always a sign you CAN'T answer.

Often silence is the wisdom to know when NOT to.

Barb, to answer you question, No i do not vote. What is your voice going to change? The world isnt going to get any better. The earth is going to pass away and everything in it. How is voting and voicing your political opinion setting your affections on things above. It is setting you affections on things of the earth. And the earth is going to pass away. The Whole duty of man is to Fear God and Keep his commandments. And Please do not think I am hard against anyone. Its just that people are saying that Lawson taught Johnson and they are strong with it, but it just dont add up. I dont know of anyone in the world today that would walk over a $20.00 bill. Now why wouldnt someone stop Johnsons mouth if they could for $500,000.00 back then?? Bishop Lawson should have been able to do it easy. If he didnt want the money I am sure he could have used it to help aid the poor with clothes and food. You know, or just give it away to the Community.

Warrior, there is no bible against offering a reward is there? The man certified the Gospel that he preached. And people are "Hot" even now that couldnt nobody stand before him. Sorry also but I must have misunderstood your post concerning Martha and what to do when a pastor dies. Sorry about that.
And so you believe in 2 Gods. Well its is weird. Why did God say he didnt know no other Gods? Do you know what Right hand mean? God also said he laid down his life. Jesus said he laid down his life. How many died? Are you saying that the son is in heaven Now with God? Which one is coming? Which one do you worship? It is funny because I have never read anywhere in the Bible anything about "Them" The bible always talks about "him" or "He." Which one was the Savior? Jesus or God. I think it is really about to get very interesting in here.

Where was Jesus when God created the heavens and the earth? I know there was a son at one time but he died. He said you shall see me no more, but they saw him. So Jesus is a liar I guess because God cant lie. Right? Please Help me out here.
