Be Afraid.....

I am even afraid to get into this, but I am literally on the floor laughing. I have just heard, read and watched (in that order) about Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda AKA "DADDY". He is the leader of a congregation in Miami and goes as far to claim that he is God. Jesus Christ reincarnate.

"The spirit that is in me is the same spirit that was in Jesus of Nazareth,"

According to CNN, "Followers of the movement say they have proof that their minister is divine and that their church will one day soon be a major faith in the world."

Watching him in an interview, he bragged about the fact that he has 3 Rolex watches, 2 cars (A Lexus and BMW), all gifts from his congregation.

The ethos that guide his organization are:

  • De Jesus preaches there is no devil and no sin and the church calls itself the "Government of God on Earth"

  • Here is the clincher though. Apparently the fact that he has the 3 six, tattooed on his arm is testament to the fact that the Antichrist and him have something in common. They (Him and the Antichrist) are misunderstood.

    "Antichrist is the best person in the world," he says. "Antichrist means don't put your eyes on Jesus because Jesus of Nazareth wasn't a Christian. Antichrist means do not put your eyes on Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Put it on Jesus after the cross."

    I know I am laughing but there is something very sad about this whole affair and the fact that it is somewhat a dangerous situation.

    I find it intriguing that people believe in The Christ and that, according to him, he will come back 'again' but when somebody claims to be such, they laugh at him.

    Why?
