Christ Has NOT Returned

One would think that this would be too easy to avoid, but it appears that this isn't the case.

Meet Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda. Jose is a Puerto Rican native, 60 years old, with a church in Doral, Florida. Jose has gone from Roman Catholic to Pentecostal to Baptist and then on to his own brand of doctrine. His organization is called "Growing in Grace" and he has taught that there is no sin, no Satan, and everyone is predestined to salvation. Okay. Nice. Wrong, but nice. Oh, did I mention? He also holds that he is the second coming of Christ.

A native of Puerto Rico, de Jesus, 60, spent his youth drifting from the Roman Catholics to the Pentecostals to the Baptists. Then one night in 1973, he says, he awoke to a vision of two hulking men at his bedside who announced the arrival of the Lord, who, says de Jesus, "came to me and integrated with me."

One would think this was easy to avoid because apparently the second coming of Christ was an evolutionary process. In 1998, he was the reincarnation of Paul. Two years ago, he declared himself to be Christ. And last week, he declared himself the Antichrist (complete with a "666" tattooed on his arm) because he rejcts the worship of the "false Christ", Jesus of Nazareth. Apparently the second coming of Christ is an expensive process. All members of his church are required to tithe. (He took in $1.4 million last year.) He lives a lavish life with expensive jewelry and fancy cars. And apparently Christ is returning as a cult leader. He exerts absolute authority. Members disavow normal family ties and make their church their only family. One would think, with all of this, that it would be easy to see that this man is a liar from Satan's camp, but, apparently, this is not the case.

So, let's be clear. There is nothing in all of Scripture, nothing in all of Church history, and nothing in any rational person's mind that would support the idea that Jesus is going to return by "integrating" with a 60-year-old Puerto Rican, making him, somehow, God when just the night before he wasn't. Christ will not return to a sinful body, doesn't care about making money, and won't need to dominate people's lives when He comes. Indeed, when He returns, there will be no further questions about Christianity or Christ. So if you were considering the possibility of checking this guy out, please, spare yourself the effort.
