Instead of repenting for your lies and libel,  you are condescending,  exalting yourself in your own high road.

I looked at a few of the introductions here before I wrote mine.  I noticed that new members were only welcomed if they shared their testimony of repentance and faith,  which wouldn't be something that a Hindu or Muslim or Buddhist,  or Atheist could offer,  which is among the options for the faith portion of the profile here.  I should've spent more time reading other intros, as I would have noticed earlier how new members have been immediately assailed if they bring anything to the table that goes against what the Johnsonites have fully set their hearts to believe.

Christopher lied again, when he said half of my intro was about the word Christian.  Maybe it seemed like that,  because his focus is to defend his own belief,  instead of being willing to learn anything from someone else.
 In my intro,  less than 20% of my original post was explaining why I put "other" religion. Less than 20%! Not "half" Count the words, if you think Christopher is not a liar. If he was a man of truth, integrity and of God,  he would repent and own his own evil.  From what I've seen,  that is not likely.  I see stiff necks and hard hearts. 
From what I've seen, looking at many of his responses to myself and others,  he is carnal, prideful, and full of strife and debate.  Seeking to tear down and not to establish a bond of faith and of unity in Christ Jesus. He is looking at the scriptures with the understanding of man, which only leads to contradictions and error.

Most of my introduction was my testimony of how I became born again and how the Lord delivered me from evil.  I spake of discovering the truth of things and coming out of deception,  which is a theme that I found to be refreshing in some of the articles that I found on CLE.
Instead of welcoming me and asking questions,  It looks more like how a pack of wolves surround their prey and attack. Christopher's initial reply was written with false assumptions, and unrighteous judgments, attempting to judge my intent and my influences without knowing me or aaking any qualifying questions. Instead of welcoming a new member and asking questions, he replied with the one thing that he disagrees with,  which was the minor theme of my introduction. 

Christopher uses his articles as bait to those that have discovered the truth about some things and lures ppl in to this digital/virtual community then judges all new members based upon his own dim understanding of matters of the faith,  to see if there will be a proselyte to be found and if anyone disagrees with his highness or presents information that might show that he's not God and that he is a man that isn't always right,  that person is quickly attacked, dismissed and ultimately unwelcome. 

This should be interesting

You should have others from outside of your group read how new comers that have their own conviction here are treated.  It's disgusting and definitely shows lack of maturity and understanding.   The words of God in English clearly show that God does not label His saints as Christians. The heathen do.  I have chosen to not label myself that.  I was not telling you that you shouldn't. Your attempt at correcting me is wresting the words of God and applying it to try to justify walking in the ways of the mainstream. I guess it must have got a nerve,  because instead of welcoming a born again believer in the one true Jesus Christ,  you criticize,  falsely attempt to correct without knowledge,  assume and come to false conclusions and show yourselves to be reprobate concerning the faith and void of the Spirit of Christ

You want to strive about words.  And for some reason,  you Assumed that I was angry or something. I was put off by your quick unrighteous judgements assumptions and false statements. You judge me according to what you have judged others in the past of.  That is the definition of unrighteous judgment. 

I HAVE CHOSEN TO LABEL MYSELF AS GOD HAS CALLED ME...A SAINT.  IF I SUFFER AS A "CHRISTIAN," THEN I SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED AT THE REPROACH THAT THE HEATHEN WOULD GIVE ME BY CALLING ME A NAME THAT GOD DOES NOT CALL ME.

I SPENT A LITTLE TO TIME LOOKING AT HOW THIS PARTICULAR CULT OF PEOPLE ATTACK,  CRITICIZE,  DEMEAN,  BERATE AND CONDESCEND OTHERS THAT DON'T FOLLOW CHRISTOPHER JOHNSON'S TEACHINGS EVEN WHEN THEY ARE FALSE. IF YOU THINK THAT CHRISTOPHER IS ABOVE CORRECTION,  THEN YOU ARE IN A CULT

Context is everything. 

Speaking of the last days, Jesus said "take heed unto yourselves that ye be not deceived, for many shall come in my name saying ""I am Christ "" and shall deceive many."

The word "Christian" in the Greek is "christianos" having two root words "Christos" meaning "anointed one" and "ianos" meaning (Greek) Janus Proper (Roman god) Descendants Greek: (Ianos). L


In its etymology, the word means anointed descendants of Janus or little anointed one. It was the title that the heathens gave to the saints. It was a mockery.

Nowhere in scripture do we see any saints declaring themselves to be "Christians." Nor does the Lord identify His people as "Christians."

When someone says "I am Christian" they are literally saying "I am Christ"

GOD uses these terms to identify his saints: "Elect" 27 Xs, Saints 95 Xs, Servants >200 Xs brethren & brother >50 Xs. Beloved 56Xs, Friend 11Xs, Christian??? Zer0. Not once.

I read the requirements for signing up and took the time to ensure that I properly introduced myself,  as per the forum rules.  This is the way in which you "welcome" a born again believer in the only true Lord Jesus Christ,  who has taken the time to not only share my life changing testimony of how I found mercy and grace through Him,  but also an heir to the promise and have sanctified myself of many of the ways of the world and of the ways of the institutions that blaspheme the name of God.

I thought it necessary to at least give a very short version of explanation as to why I chose "other." There was no option to identify myself AS THE LORD GOD IDENTIFIES HIS "SAINTS"...I.E. CHILD, ELECT,  PEOPLE, CHURCH, BODY OF CHRIST,  BRETHREN, FELLOW LABORER, SERVANTS , MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL, SONS OF GOD,, BRIDE,  AND MANY, MANY OTHER GRAND IDENTIFICATIONS THAT THE LORD HAS BESTOWED UPON THOSE OF US WHO HAVE HIS SPIRIT IN US.   "CHRISTIAN" IS NOT ONE OF THOSE!!!!!!!!!!

JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR,  ALL THREE PLACES IN THE ENTIRE BIBLE, THAT THE WORD "CHRISTIAN" APPEARS,  IS ATTRIBUTED TO THEM BY THE HEATHEN. 


Christopher,  you said a lot when you said "I don't care..."

I can see that.

Hi, I'm Jesse. I have read the Bible since the 1980's and had known that the scriptures are true,  yet lived my life in the flesh for my own pleasure and chasing money for years,  until one fateful day in 1998, when I realized that the implications of the scriptures being true were that I shall be judged for my sins and without going into the details of my entire life, I knew that my sins had separated me from the Lord.  Godly sorrow over my guiltiness and lack of consideration for the Lord,  others or my offenses,  had filled my heart with great sorrow and mourning.  I knew that we are living in a time that never had been, in the history of the world and that there's coming a time when Jesus will say to many "Depart from me,  I never knew you." I didn't know Him and I was certain that He was going to say those words to me,  if I was to die at that time.  So, I set my heart to seek Him in truth.  I didn't want to see His hands.  I wanted to seek to know Him.  My sins came before my remembrance as did my guiltiness.  A scripture verse also came into my mind "If we confess our sins,  He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  I confessed my sins with great sorrow over then and in shame,  begged for mercy.  I thought that I would need to confess every sin and was overwhelmed at that prospect,  because I realized that I couldn't even remember the sins that I had committed , just in the last week, let alone my entire life.  Then the cross of Jesus Christ (not the symbol,  but the event) came into my mind.  I remember hearing that Jesus Christ gave His life and His blood for the forgiveness of sins and that gave me a glimmer of hope and I asked the Father if it were possible,  to forgive me all of my sins,  though I couldn't name each one, specifically.  I was so ashamed that I had sinned so much, without regard.  In that moment, through faith in Jesus Christ,  my soul was laid bare before the Lord and I could feel a cleansing that I didn't expect or deserve.  The darkness within me was swept away by the blood of Jesus Christ,  the Lord! His Holy Spirit came into my body and I immediately knew that this is the Lord that filled my mind,  heart and soul. I had been born again, being made a new creature in Christ Jesus! I had never remembered ever learning that God makes His habitation within man,  yet here He is, in me and, for the first time in my life,  I knew that the Lord would speak to me, by His Spirit,  in His word.  I opened up the scriptures and as I read aloud from the pages,, His Spirit spake unto me, revealing the things of my heart and giving me hope through the faith that I have entered into.  I immediately sought out others that I knew were in the faith, for fellowship and found myself attending a congregation of members of a US-26-501(c)3 organization.  I had no idea that it was a business.  I was naive to many things,  yet the Lord began to reveal many things to me that were against His words that they practiced.  It wasn't very long before I found myself in direct opposition with the leadership and the traditions of the "church." The Lord took me through a course of education in God's words and in the world,  learning the truth about many things and standing upon what He has said.  In my discovery of the deceptions in the institutions of men,  I have found articles on this platform that are in harmony with what I had learned and I have oftentimes shared articles from here with others,  to gain knowledge of various topics, as some of the articles are much more exhaustive and comprehensive than I've seen in any one place.  I used to identify myself as "a Christian," but many years ago I began to discern something wrong with that particular word.  It only appears in the scriptures three times and every single time it is attributed to the saints by the heathen and not only do the saints not label themselves "Christians," in the Bible,  but the Lord, Himself does not identify His saints as "Christians." He has many words that He identifies His people with; "Christian " is not one of them.  Therfore I put "other" under religion,  rather than "born again Christian." I have been born of the  Holy Spirit of Christ and am a believer in His words.  If any man seems to be contentious against my decision to not use that term to identify myself with,  I would stand in full assurance that I can explain further in the etymology of the word,  the history and the attribution of that identification,  as to reason, rightly about it.  I've also noted that this forum allows people of other religions to sign up,  sick as Buddhist,  Hindu,  Muslim, Atheist,  etc, so I will say that this shouldn't be a problem that I chose to not use the word "Christian" when identifying my faith.  "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:16

I hope to be welcomed in this digital community that I might have the opportunity to enter into meaningful discussions of various topics of importance and relevance unto the faith,  that we all may be edified in the truth and escape the snares of the devil,  by addressing opposing beliefs and worldviews within ourselves.  2 Timothy 2:24-26
