   Thank you for the two-part messages on the martial arts. As a Christian I was being seduced back into them under the guise that it can be done for sport or merely self-defense. My profession is not law enforcement, so there is no imperative that I learn them. After praying and listening to the messages, I was reminded of the occult activities in which I engaged when I was steeped in the arts as a teen. I remember quite vividly how I was divining to gain glimpses of what my opponent would do and how I could project fear into an opponent through my eyes.

   The Holy Spirit also began to show me how practicing the arts was influencing my everyday thoughts and personality. I did not realize the extent to which I was itching to use the fighting techniques that I had learned… to kill another person. I did not realize that I was lying to myself that I would call it self-defense, but it would have actually been pre-meditated murder. I shunned ninjutsu because of its overt teachings on how to murder, but was more ecclectic in selecting techniques from other systems to form my own murderous arsenal. I used to aspire to be a “hired gun”– a walking weapon, lethal from head to toe with or without a weapon.

   I am grateful for the messages. Thank you. About one month ago, I have renounced my participation in the martial arts, I no longer follow UFC or WWE. I refuse to watch judo, boxing, or anything that involves armed or unarmed combat (except maybe the occasional war movie). I am filling that void in my personality with greater consecration unto the Lord by listening to sermons and practicing more apologetics before an unbelieving world.

   Final note: an adversary on my job is no longer the walking target practice in my mind for my fighting abilities. I am training my mind to pray for his salvation when I see him. No longer do I pray (secretly) for opportunity to slay him with my bare hands. The martial arts is about power over other people and gaining any kind of physical advantage to subdue him. To God be the glory, that I never lived out my murderous fantasies, nor will I ever glorify the satanic forces involved in the martial arts, by God’s grace.

   If I may add one note to my previous comment about the sermons on the martial arts:

   When I used to watch the UFC’s show “The Ultimate Fighter,” I noticed that, in addition to portraits of the top fighters lining the walls of the living quarters of the aspiring pugilists, there were paintings of demon-like creatures. At that point, I realized that if the UFC/TUF was purely about a sport, then why would there need to be demon-like depictions on their walls?

   It is also widely known that the bowing rituals in most arts are to idols. Ungodliness, if not anti-godliness is deeply ingrained into the martial arts. The sport versions of the martial arts may not be as overt in their counterfeit religiosity, but they definitely encourage faith in one’s own athletic prowess and the covetousness of the sport’s top prize. The lifestyle is oriented solely around the bodily exercise to gain advantage. Add big prize money contracts into the mix and many athletes have sold their souls. (Maybe even some professional athletes who are professed Christians.)

   Martial arts used for law enforcement and military purposes, I believe, if God permits the Christian to have either as a career, would require His grace upon the practitioner so that he/she may not be overtaken in the idolatries that would draw them away from Him. (My opinion.)

   Thanks again, Dr. Johnson, for bringing attention to the martial arts as an activity that Christians should mainly avoid.

   Dr. Johnson,

   You have touched upon many important topics that are not addressed in the body of Christ. If I may suggest a topic, you may want to consider examining the messages being communicated by comic book (particularly, Marvel and DC) and cartoon characters, contemporary or historic. I think you will find a lot of subversive, occult influences that have been neatly packaged into the heroic characters as well as the villains. (Consider X-Men’s Storm: is she not using witchcraft to control natural forces? Professor X uses mind control powers.)

   Please consider preaching on such a topic. Thanks again.

   PT

   God bless you Dr. Johnson and all that you are doing with this website. Can you please do a study on the World Mission Society Church of God cult who believe in “God the Mother” or “Mother God” I have been approached by these people at least 5 times here in NYC being that they have a church in New Jersey and have challenged their beliefs many times. They believe that salvation no longer comes through Christ because “we are no longer in age of Christ” but in the “age of the Holy Spirit” and in this “age of the Holy Spirit” according to them, salvation comes through “Mother God”.

     My comment is to Mary Beths comment. I dont know how knowlegable you are of the Word of God but Scott Johnsons teachings are each and every one lined up with the true word of God, I encourage you to search the scriptures and pray for the Lord Jesus Christ to remove the scales from your eyes and you will then see the truth. I have a brother that is catholic and he is so very decieved and he gets very angry when someone trys to share with him the truth and that is what I perceive coming from your angry message as well. Dr. Scott Johnson is called by God to be a watchman, if you will look that up in the Bible in Ezekiel 33:1-9, Jeremiah 51:12, and most of all Isaiah 62:6 – The Lord sets up the watchmen and they are not to be silent.
     I follow along with each one of Scott Johnsons teachings available in PDF and use my bible along with it, I have not to this day found any lies.

     For the comment on CPS, in my past I had very close friends who had horrible encounters with CPS they operate in gastapo format – horrible people.

     I can witness to you in regards to christian rock music, when the Holy Spirit abides within you and you are operating in discernment you will not want to listen to anything that has the evil rock beat to it – very important scripture for you to read and meditate on please:

     1 Corinthians 10:21 – Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and the table of devils.

     You must choose this day whom you will serve – Jesus Christ or the devil – thats the only two choices – anything with rock music or rock beat is of the devil because it does not glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and there are a myriad of scriptures pertaining to how music should Glorify the Lord throughout the Bible.

     Jesus said for us to come out and be ye seperate – King James Bible 2 Corinthians 6:17
     Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

     I pray you find the truth – please seek help from the Lord Jesus Christ.

     God bless you
     Michelle

   Mary Beth,
   You must be reading from the wrong bible!
   “For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.”
   (Psalm 33:4)
   Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
   (John 17:17)

   Please find you a King James Bible and follow along with any of Dr. Johnson’s teachings.
   When you find a conflict note it with chapter and verse and then report back with some evidence.
   Dr. Johnson is a watchman and he speaks the truth. I have followed his teachings and compared to scripture and I can say he speaks only the truth. It is a shame that many people can not handle the truth!!
   They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
   (Amos 5:10)

   We love you Dr. Johnson! Keep up the awesome work!

    I have listened to Dr. Scott for several years. I know you are not suppose to put your trust in man, idolatry and all of that. But this man has taught me more than anyone or anything. ( through the Holy Spirit working within him) I was born and raised Catholic, went to Pentecostal church for 5 years and sadly I’m not going to church right now. Why…Because there are very few – if any- churches that are speaking the truth in my area. KJV only. The pastors are clueless when it comes to real truth. (Bible versions, 501c3, etc) People don’t want truth. Folks do yourselves a favor, listen to this man and tell others. Anyway.. I can’t thank Dr. Scott Johnson enough. God Bless you brother. I am looking forward to meeting you one day. In this life or the next. Thanks Again, Forever Grateful, John

    I’m new to this blog. Was invited by one of your followers.
    I’m searching for more sound doctrine, because I need it.
    I read a verse in 2 Timothy 4:3,4 “For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths.”
    When I look around, just in my everyday life, I see this happening. There are those who claim to know Jesus Christ, that are merely following a sensational teaching. It’s as if when I look around it’s everywhere.
    It did not see it during the Lakeland Revival, but I know now that Todd Bentley persues very selfish desires.
    I’m hungry for God’s pure word, and others like me I’m sure are too. They just need to find there way. They need help to get away from the cult like false religion.

    dear sister i would point you in the direction of a good preacher friend of mine, his name is James Knox, the web site is Jamesknox.com

    there you will find all that you need concerning sound doctrine, and if you don’t have any funds for the books or tapes they will even suplie them to you at no charge…

    God bless you for seeking the truth….

    Pr 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

    Pr 8:20-21 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
    That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

    keep on keeping on and the Lord will will cause his face to shine upon you….
