The man who says he is God


De Jesus, who also sort of looks like William Jung

Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda (yes all one name) is the leader of the Growing Grace International Ministry. He oversees 300+ congregations in several countries and boasts over 100,000 followers. Oh, and just last week he declared himself to be the Antichrist and had "666" tattooed on his arm.

Originally, back in the 70's, De Jesus claims he awoke from sleep to a vision of two men declaring announcing the arrival of the Lord at which point he says the Lord, "came to me and integrated with me." Throughout the 80's, De Jesus kept the whole "I'm Jesus Christ" thing quiet while pastoring and sharing his doctrine: that under a new covenant with God, there is no sin and no Satan, and people are predestined to be saved. Saved from what, exactly? Who needs saving if the world is already rid of all evil???

It wasn't until two years that De Jesus finally declared himself the Christ. That is, of course, until recently (as mentioned above) that he explained that as the second coming of Christ, he rejects the continued worship of Jesus of Nazareth. The official Growing in Grace website still only refers to him as Christ the man.

A quick glance at the Growing in Grace website also shows this promise: That EVERY religion including Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Mormons, etc, will end, because their leaders are corrupt and are teaching expired doctrine. Interesting choice of words; expired.

If accept that God is all knowing, eternal, and incapable of error, or sin - then you would also have to accept that the bible is the infallible word of God (without error, deceit, etc.)That being the case, there would be no expiration date as that would directly imply that one of the truths of God were not so. If De Jesus were Jesus incarnate, he certainly would not declare that God (himself) is a liar. In effect, De Jesus has counter intuitively dismantled his own claims and I would also like to mention that I think he's asshole.

I think he needs Islam. Maybe Mr. Jackson will show him the way.
