I dont think you do know, The main teachings Of Jesus christ was to heal the sick and to cast out demons, Many biblical scholars agree with this and say the main part of Christs teachings realate to casting out demons and healing the sick.
Jesus was sent to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8)
Jesus was sent to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8)
I dont know anything about that, I dont know him well enough. i dont recall any of his many sermons, only that one i posted which seems to be of a sound doctrin.
This to me is the most important part of our whole bible Jesus was sent to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8) This is the most important work for us christians to follow, that we must all destroy the works of the devil, This scripture is a God send to me. It is the work that we christians need to do also everyday. We heal are sickeness by quitting smoking, we prevent other people smoking and getting sick by quiting, and at the same time i know 1000 percent that the works of the devil is to make people sick, and to tempt them into smoking, I know this with all my heart and mind and soul, and i know this what the holy spirit has been telling me this for years. Jesus came to destroy the works of devil, do you realise how powerful that is and how wonderful that is. Jesus came to earth to destroy the works of the devil, do you see this is why he told the Jews there father was of the devil, because they where believing his lies, Jesus came to save the Jews from the devils lies and us. Jesus loved the Jews even tho they would not believe. and i still love you rosemaryx.

I would run run run as fast as you can from this false teacher...
It would do you good to search out what this man teaches , as Jesus said " Beware of wolves in sheep clothing "Maybe but most of the time they should be running from us"
2 Timothy 2:25 In meekness instruct those that oppose themselves

What if I want to have sex with my neighbor's wife and I have faith that there's nothing wrong with it so long as I don't broadcast it to others with a "weak conscience." After all, Romans 14:14 says: "I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean." What would be wrong with that?
Let's have a look at Bill Johnson's "sound" doctrine from this clip.
1. First he says, the more we represent who Jesus genuinely is, the more we become desirable to the nations. Jesus said: "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you." The "Jesus" Johnson represents is another Jesus.
2. Next he does a clever conflation of two scriptures that have nothing to do with each other. First, John 3:8: "The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil." Then he quickly quotes John 20:21 to make it sound like they are somehow related: "As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you." This makes it sound like our job is to go out and defeat the works of the devil. However, that's not our job; our job is to preach Christ, who Himself has defeated the works of the devil.
3. Then he says God's will for us is to heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out devil, etc. What did Jesus say about this in John 16:29: "Jesus answered them, 'This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.' " Back in December of 2019, there was a high-profile case of a young girl named Olive, who folks at Bill Johnson's church (Bethel in Redding, California) prayed over for several days trying to raise her from the dead, but failed. Bethel Redding also has a ministry where that's all they do is go around praying for resurrections. To date they don't have one single verifiable resurrection.
That's all I have the stomach for. It's only a minute and a half in and he's told so many lies I can hardly keep up.

"Bill Johnson and Bethel Church practice many things that the Scriptures condemn, including witchcraft, necromancy, and ritual occultism. For example, Johnson and his church practice a form of witchcraft known as grave-sucking (or soaking) where people will lie on the graves of dead saints in order to “suck” (or “soak”) the anointing from them. Below is a picture of Johnson’s wife, Beni, practicing this heinous act. " https://reformationcharlotte.org/2021/06/22/false-teacher-of-the-day-26-bill-johnson/
