John 5:19 refutes Johnson's teaching that God responds to human declarations — Jesus only did what He saw the Father doing, not the reverse

Bill Johnson's Theology and Movement Examined Biblically. 01:04:27 – 01:05:27

Mike cites a specific text to challenge one of Johnson's specific claims about how God responds to human proclamation

John 5:19: 'The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.' Mike identifies a specific Johnson teaching (with video evidence) that the father sometimes does what he sees the son doing — meaning believers can declare healings or truths and then God will act on those declarations. Mike argues this inverts the actual principle of John 5:19: Jesus acted on what He saw the Father doing, not the reverse.

κεφαλή (kephale) — Logos Clippings (Cheryl Schatz)

A curated collection of Logos Bible Software clippings compiled by Cheryl Schatz examining the Greek word κεφαλή (kephale) and Hebrew רֹאשׁ (rosh). The clippings draw from lexicons, encyclopedias, commentaries, and academic journals to argue that "source/origin" is the primary metaphorical meaning of kephale rather than "authority/leader," with implications for interpreting 1 Corinthians 11, Ephesians 5, and Colossians 1.
