For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many----------------------------------------------------------------------The Man Who Claims To Be JesusFollowers Claim Doral Man is God On EarthJose Luis deJesus Claims There Is No Heaven, No HellFollowers Believe All Other Religions Must Be Destroyed Ileana Varela Reporting(CBS4 News) DORAL His name is Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda; his followers call him everything from apostle to Dad, or simply Jesus Christ Man. De Jesus Miranda himself believes he’s the living incarnation of “Jesus Christ Man,” “the second coming of Christ.”A follower of his believes “he is God, he is God.” She also lavishes him with money and gifts."I don’t have one Rolex,” de Jesus Miranda said, “I have 3 because they want to give it to me. It's like that woman that came to Jesus with the expensive perfume and put it on his feet. He didn’t reject it, so when someone gives me a watch or a gift, I receive it. I like them too, they're nice."This self-proclaimed Son of God is a 60 year old former heroin addict and convict. The divorced father of 4 was born in Puerto Rico and now lives in South Florida with his second wife. From a warehouse in Doral, near Miami, he presides over the "Creciendo en Gracia" or Growing in Grace Ministry which he also calls “God's Government On Earth. As any other head of state, he is protected by a security detail that mimics the U.S. Secret Service.In an interview with the self-proclaimed Messiah, CBS4’s Ileana Varela asked de Jesus if he was able to do some of the things Jesus Christ did like performing miracles, healing the sick and walking on water.De Jesus said not necessarily. “My life is my church and what I’m doing worldwide,” he said.What De Jesus is doing at more than 300 centers in Central and South America, Cuba and the U.S. is preaching a message of "freedom to indulge" because according to this modern messiah, there is no sin, no devil and no hell to pay.De Jesus says, “It doesn’t exist. The devil was destroyed two thousand years ago."It is music to the ears of his followers, mostly Hispanic men and women who believe they are God's chosen people, predestined for salvation no matter what they do on earth. They also believe all other faiths are false and must be destroyed, from Catholics to Baptists and Jehovah’s witnesses. His followers have organized marches at which they destroy religious books and symbols. They also have a campaign aimed at disrupting other religious gatherings, sometimes with violent consequences. “What disturbs me is that he fits into the typical mold of a cult leader, total complete submission to his authority," FIU Religion professor, Daniel Alvarez said.Alvarez has a Masters Degree in Theology from Harvard Divinity School, and is among those who fear "Creciendo en Gracia" has the makings of a destructive cult.“He destroyed my family,” said former member Regina Albarracin, who left the church about 5 years ago. Her husband soon followed but their son Alvaro remained to become one of the ministry's biggest financial backers, donating more than $1 million to the church. Alvaro is not alone; many others have set up businesses in de Jesus' name that pour cash into the ministry."I know were going to be running the whole world,” de Jesus said. A web entrepreneur and self made millionaire, Alvaro Albarracin left his wife and children for the man he calls Jesus. He has since remarried to another church member and rarely speaks to his parents who insist he's been brainwashed by the man "they" certainly don't call Jesus.His mother, Regina Albarracin said, "You think he's Jesus Christ? No he’s the devil. You think he's the devil? Yes that's him."Regina Albarracin is afraid for her son's soul, and Professor Alvarez says she should be. Most of these movements, he says, self destruct sooner or later."Lots of broken lives, lot of spiritual and emotional and psychological debris that will be strew on the path of the gentleman,” Alvarez said, “and the fallout will be inestimable for the lives of these people who get caught up in this kind of movement.”Unfazed by the criticism, de Jesus continues to plan for the role he believes he is destined to play on the world's stage. “I will be president of the biggest government that this earth has experienced," promised de Jesus.(© MMVI, CBS Broadcasting Inc.

How can anyone fall for this ?It's so obviously not the Jesus of the Bible.I don't believe for one second that when Jesus returns, he will do it by 'being incarnated' into another body.I believe that was done the first time because of the purpose for which he came to earth.His return will be for a totally different reason.If Jesus has 'incarnated' into this man, thenhe has undergone one massive character change.

Why on earth would Jesus incarnate into another body and live the life described above ? it's totally ludicrous.There should be a law against this kind of thing. This guy is after2 things only. Power and Money. It's bad enough to start a 'Church' or 'Religion' and falsely claim to be a Minister of God, but it's another thing entirely to claim to be Jesus himself.

The Pope claims to be Papa and a direct resprentative of Christ on earth, whereas our Lord said there is only one Father who is in heaven and that he sends His Holy Spirit to represent Him on earth and not a man.My brother and fellow servant John said a long time ago that the spirit of anti-christ was present when he suggested its appearance in his time. The false bride and harlot has been among us since the mystery of the true bride and virgin was made known by the revelation of Jesus the Christ. We have yet to see fully the beast the harlot rides but its revelation is at hand.

Well it's an illustration as to how people will buy into virtually anything. If people by into this obvious scheme, one has to question how many will go right along with church doctrine because the preacher said it was so. This is what the Bible teaches against; you alone are responsible for you and it's not the job of someone else to spoon feed you every step of the what they claim is the Bible and tell you what to do.I'm not here to judge the faith of these people, but if you opened up a Bible you'd see that Yeshua is not going to be found here on earth in a warehouse. In fact if you looked in Matthew 21, Mark 13, or Luke 21 one should see this is the exact kind of antichrist that he forewarned us about.
