A man claims to be jesus.

⁴ Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. ⁵ For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.

In this documetary a man i Russia starts a Cult while claiming to be Jesus. Its interesting to say the least. You don't have to watch the whole video but I ask that you watch some of it before replying.

That is really weird. I wonder if the guy really believes that he himself is Jesus. I mean does he have any doubts at all?

 

If these people can learn to get a long like that why don't we Christians go make a village in the woods?

I watched the whole video.  Seems to me the guy is harmless enough, and is quite pleasant, but he did not have anything deep to say in the interview, but he's rather some deluded guy who has this charismatic ability to create a paradise utopia that captures the imaginations of his followers.  That is to say, they are there because they want to be there and drop out of life.  It's a real life fantasy land. 

 

Scripturally, since the guy claims to be Jesus (and has some memories) I find it surprising he'd create his own holiday of good fruits.  The real Jesus followed his father's teachings and did everything according to the feasts in Leviticus 23, not some August 18th "holiday".

 

His answers lacked any great insight, and did not reflect biblical values at all. For example, the real Jesus could discern the heart of his interviewer, something this "Jesus" could not do, because had he pretended to do so, he would have been exposed for the fraud he was.

 

While I said he is harmless enough, I meant from the physical standpoint. At least at this juncture, I don't think anyone would restrict anyone who would want to leave, like that gooney Jim Jones that made his people drink poison for fear of being gunned down and even killed that congressman. (That occurred during my college days in the late 1970's).  HOWEVER, he is dangerous in the sense that he keeps people from the truth, but I don't blame him any more than the world doing the same thing.  In other words, this is the world's "Christ" and people can be just as lost being a happy, successful businessman as a deluded fool in a Russian paradise.

 

Now, here's my youtube answer to this fellow, a song I listened to in my teenage years that reminds me about cults :

That is not the first person who claimed to be Jesus.

[JustinM]

A man in South Africa, Moses Hlongwane, also claims to be Jesus. He even has a few followers.

You will probably find one in every country, if you look deep enough.

There's also a guy in Australia claiming to be Jesus Christ and he has a woman believing she's Mary Magdalene.  Australia appears to be heavily infiltrated by demons.

deuteronomy 18 : 20 gives us very simple instruction concerning prophets.. if what they say is not of God, does not come to pass, they should b put to death..
