All these people (and probably more) that are being deceived.

Why have people not learned the lessons from the past.... Jim Jones, David Koresh, Heaven's Gate.... WHY do people still allow themselves to be taken in by these false messiahs? Why?

We need to pray for these people who are being led off and that this movement will come to an end. I'm reminded of all those down the ages who have proclaimed to be God like the Ceasers, David Koresh, Jim Jones and all the others too numerous to count or name. They all came to a bad end. "Jesus Might Be Alive and Well in Houston" by Jim Avila and Caroline Borge ("ABC Primetime," March 6, 2007) Houston, USA - A few weeks ago, in a tattoo parlor in the hip art deco district of Miami Beach, people were lining up to get "666" tattooed on their bodies, and then smiling through their pain. But these are not devil worshipers. They see themselves as devout followers of Jesus Christ. But the major difference that separates them from other Christians around the world is that the Jesus Christ they worship is alive and well -- and living in the suburbs of Houston. These people belong to a new movement devoted to a man who calls himself the Second Coming of Jesus, and also claims the title of Antichrist, which to him is the next incarnation of Jesus on earth, not an evil being. To show their devotion, some followers ink themselves with "666." One follower said, "I just want to make sure it's visible, that everyone knows my life belongs to the man." Another said, "I want everyone to know I'm one of the antichrists." They and others like them are fervently devoted, some say fanatically, to a 60-year-old Puerto Rican whose legal name, to his pleasure, is Jose de Jesus, or "Jose of Jesus." He counts followers in more than 30 countries; some say they total more than a million. But where does this man, who claims to be God, live? Not where you might expect: He resides with his wife in a suburban community just outside Houston. The Birth of 'Jesus' When asked to explain who he is, de Jesus responds: "Jesus Christ, man, the second manifestation, the Second Coming of Christ." He acknowledges that "it bothers a lot of people" that he calls himself Jesus. De Jesus' beginning was anything but grand. Born in Puerto Rico, de Jesus grew up poor, living in government housing. He stole for a living to pay for his teenage heroin addiction and admits to eight felony charges that put him behind bars for nine months. Like many, de Jesus says he was born again in prison. From there he moved to the United States, where he became involved in church youth groups, and eventually a minister in Boston. But it was a vision, de Jesus says, that turned him from man of God to being God. "The same spirit that was in Jesus of Nazareth, and the same spirit is in me. He came to me. He [integrated] with my person in 1973." de Jesus says this happened when two angels came to him in a vision, and while he admits there's no real way for him to prove that he's Christ, he says his followers aren't asking for proof. "So you tell the millions of followers I have that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ewJim Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Matthew 24:26"So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Jesus has received his glorified body. He is no longer human, and will not be born into this world again, nor walk as a human does. He will come in the sky and light up the whole atmosphere with his glory. Let no man claim to be the Christ, lest he speak in his fathers tongue, the devil the liar.

I read up a little about him and what he preaches and I think it goes beyond scary. I think its dangerous. He is preaching that the Church is confused and that the Gospel is false. He even said that the deciples were the most wicked men that ever walked the earth! CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS!!!??? I couldnt care less about this idiot but the people he is deceiving are being led straight to hell. It actually maked me so mad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
