Well, I think you've displayed enough of yourself here that the casual observer can tell just what drives you.
Oh? And, what is that? Why don’t you just say what you mean?
I deny John Ramirez is a fraud. I believe him to be a genuine servant of God. If I had a sufficient amount of footage of anyone, I could splice together a damning video of them in the same way.
Horse manure. This isn’t somebody surreptitiously filming him trying to catch him doing something wrong. These are clips of him giving his testimony and telling the same stories with contradicting facts and time lines.
Here is the advertisement for one of his books from his own website:
“Unmasking the Devil
by John Ramirez
"This book will keep you three steps ahead of the devil! Amazing revelation of our victory!"
– Side Roth, Host of It’s Supernatural
In Unmasking the Devil, John Ramirez shares an insider view of how satan operates so you can avoid his traps and learn how to:
- Discern between the voice of God that directs to victory and satan’s voice that leads to destruction.
- Close the demonic doors satan uses to enter your life: entertainment, unhealthy relationships, greed, and false religion.
- Activate the spiritual weapons of prayer, intercession, and Scripture to render hell powerless over your life.
- Recognize how the spirits of Jezebel and Delilah attempt to infiltrate the church, create disunity, and render God’s people powerless.”
Oh! Sid Roth indorses it, yay! Sid Roth is one of the slimmest spiritual hucksters to ever grace television, so his endorsement isn’t surprising. Sid says with this book, you can stay three steps ahead of the devil... seriously? This has scam written all over it.
How about this claim,“John Ramirez shares an insider view of how satan operates so you can avoid his traps...”? There it is, the secret knowledge. Stingy old God, hiding the good stuff from us! Good thing we have John Ramirez to open our eyes to what’s really going on in the demonic realm! Wait, hang on a second... isn’t that right along the same line as what satan said to Eve in the garden? Didn’t he promise her that her eyes would be opened, that she would gain some previously unknown information that God hadn’t let her in on, or something like that?
There’s more! Active the spiritual weapons! Have you activated your weapons yet? What is this? Wait, is this an add for a video game? He’s going to give you the secret formula? Bummer, that God didn’t include the secret formula in the scriptures
Here is a quote from his book:
“People are eager to understand, not only the
role of Satan in the modern world but how to combat him. The book you’re holding will do just that.”
Unmasking the Devil- a note from the author
Really? How has the church survived for two millennia without this information?
As
@rockfox noted, “we see through a glass darkly”. We are given some information in scripture about some things regarding demons and angels in the spiritual world, and that is good enough. We don’t go digging into the occult in order to find some clever way to defeat satan, Jesus Christ already did that on the cross!
Also, claiming that everything that is sin is caused by a demon, exonerates the sinner without the need for confession and repentance of their sin. It makes them a victim in need of an exorcism instead of a sinner in need of The Savior.

You ask me who the father of lies is? He is the same spirit who is also known as the accuser of the brethren. [/QUOTE]
Indeed, however pointing out a false teacher and his false teaching doesn’t fall into that category, and you know that.
Did you begin this thread to shine a spotlight on our resurrected King? No, you started it to smugly discredit the beliefs of your fellow servants.
This was shameful, and I'll have no further part in it.
No. Shame on you for holding doctrine derived from your personal experience as being on parr with the written Word of God! And shame on you for providing cover for a man who is fleecing Christ’s sheep.
