"Who is a liar
but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the
Father and the Son." —1st John 2:2
According to 1st John 2:22, Jose Luis De Jesus
Miranda is a LIAR and an ANTICHRIST. To no surprise, he uses reverse
psychology, openly admitting to being an "Antichrist," which confuses his
victims. But one thing Mr. Miranda won't admit to is being a BIG LIAR.
Anyone who perverts the Gospel message, or denies the Lord Jesus Christ is a
LIAR! 1st John 2:22 calls Mr. Miranda a "LIAR."
In 2007, the Dallas Morning
News reported that Miranda "preaches to followers in some 35 nations, mostly
in Latin America, and has 287 radio programs and a 24-hour Spanish-language TV
network." Sadly, Miranda's damnable heresies have taken strong root in
Hispanic nations, leading millions into Hell where he is going. Of course,
Miranda doesn't believe in Hell. He also teaches that the Devil has been
destroyed and there is no sin. Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda is a nut case
who claims to be Jesus Christ incarnate in modern times. The Word of God
expressly states in Mark 13:21-22, "And then if any man shall say to you, Lo,
here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: For false Christs and
false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it
were possible, even the elect."
Miranda has gained much attention in Puerto Rico,
where his denomination has opened religious centers in Yabucoa, Guaynabo, Arecibo, Ponce and Hormigueros.
This is so tragic. The problem is that most people don't want to accept
the Word of God. Jesus Himself stated this in John 5:43... "I am come
in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own
name, him ye will receive." Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda comes in his
own name and millions of hellbound Christ-rejecters have received him.
Isn't that a shame? So many people today refuse to come to God the Father
through Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God (John 14:6); BUT, they'll
foolishly receive a false prophet who claims to be Jesus, who cannot do the
miracles which Jesus did, and surely has never died for anyone's sins.
In sharp contrast to Jesus Christ,
Miranda has an earthly father; but Jesus did not. Jesus was born of a
virgin (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23). In sharp contrast to Jesus Christ Who
never sinned once (2nd Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15); Miranda has a prison
record for drug and petty theft charges, and is a recovered addict to heroin.
Now that's interesting... from drug addict to self-proclaimed Messiah! I
think Miranda is still on drugs!!!
In early 2007, Miranda
acknowledged accusations that he was the Antichrist, claiming that people are no longer to follow the "Jewish
teachings" of Jesus, but rather to follow the Apostle
Paul's teachings through Miranda. Miranda has redefined the term
"Antichrist" to mean "no longer following Jesus of Nazareth as he lived in the
days of his flesh." Of course, this is absurd and nowhere taught in the
Bible. An "antichrist" is and always be someone who is against Jesus
Christ... "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that
antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that
it is the last time" (1st John 2:18). We are certainly living in the
last days! Miranda is actually claiming to be a good Antichrist, much like
demonic Wiccan witches claim to be good witches, who practice "white
witchcraft." They are all of the Devil. Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda
is Satanic!

The Cult of Jose Luis De Jesus
Miranda
by Pastor G. Reckart
He teaches that Peter, James, and John conspired to silence
and eventually kill the Apostle Paul so that they could establish their new
religion of a false Jesus. They would keep people in bondage to a form
of the law of Moses where sin was the focus of salvation. These wanted
to remove the doctrine of grace that Paul was preaching that there was no more
sin. Miranda teaches that the lies and falsehood of Peter, James, and John
have been successful for nearly 2000 years and the Roman Catholic Church along
with all other religious groups are keeping this veil over the world's eyes.
But, according to Miranda, God has sent His Christ back to the world and
he is this new Jesus. He will remove the veil from the eyes of the
people and those who follow him in his new kingdom will stand victorious
against all of the enemies of God. His followers will establish His
government on the earth among the Latin/Spanish people. Together, he and
his followers will take over the world and run the government of this new
kingdom. According to Miranda, God's Kingdom is one of complete grace
therefore God's people are above sin, they cannot sin no matter what they do,
since they are the predestinated Elect.
According to Miranda, he is loosing all mankind, women and
men, even children, to do as they will if they harm none, because they are
free to indulge in any conduct they desire.
Miranda says hell does not exist; Miranda says the devil has been
destroyed; Miranda says sin does not exist; Miranda said he has done
greater things then Jesus; Miranda said "I am greater then Jesus."
Here the man who sports himself as God, as Jesus, and
as a human being born in Puerto Rico, shows himself the coming ruler of the
world (in the background).
I did a close examination of this man's forehead and
there appears to be a very light number there (666). Can you see it?
According to news sources, he was married and now divorced
and has a new wife, and is living in Miami, Florida, USA. He and his
wife live off millions of dollars his followers give to him.
Miranda knows the secret to the Latin/Spanish people: it is
music. He puts together a good show of music to get those in attendance at his
meetings to start dancing like they are at a rave party. It works!
The rave party music puts those in attendance in a cultic swoon. When he
speaks like a preacher they all shout and swoon. He promises them liberty
while he himself is the servant of corruption.
Miranda is now invading the Latin/Spanish nations of Central
America and South America to convince even more thousands to join his cult.
Beware, of this false Christ!
Beaming with a smile, and dressed in expensive suits, Miranda
puts on his con-job. He is a real good actor. He knows how to work
the crowd as well as a carnival barker. He has mastered the skill of
trickster talk. He speaks of liberty, of being able to do anything a
person wants because they are under God's grace and do not go to hell because
there is no hell according to him. He tells his followers there is no
devil, he was destroyed 2,000 years ago. He tells them the Catholic
Church and all other Churches have deceived the world and he has come as the
new Jesus to show them the way of living by grace by sinning all they want,
they will not be lost. Thus, he has named his church in Miami
"Creciendo En Gracia" (Growing in Grace).
Here is the official emblem representing the new kingdom
Miranda claims God has sent him to set up. Notice it is nothing but a
distortion of the US seal.
Notice also this is a 666 federation of people and nations.
We can see this false Jesus has the mark of the beast. Anyone who
follows this man, who worships him, will be lost. He is an antichrist
and has become hateful against other religions. His followers recently
had a riot outside of a Catholic church. Some of his followers took images of
the saints and crushed them to show their hatred for the Catholic church.
When will they attack Protestant churches and other groups? When
they get larger numbers and become more powerful. They will begin to spread
terror by the decree of this false Christ.
Notice how 666 in veiled manners keep appearing
associated with Miranda. Does he deny this? No, he does not
believe in the mark of the beast he claims. But he uses S S S, like the
Nazi's did in Germany. Is he a new form of Hitler coming on the scene?
Does he hate Jews? We know he hates their religions. We can
almost bet he is a Jew hater also. When will he travel to Jerusalem and
try to take over Israel? Will he do it? He must if he is the true
Messiah. But will he?
I do not believe he will go near Jerusalem and put on a show
he is Jesus there! I do not believe he will go to Israel and there proclaim
he is Jesus! The man who has made himself God and sits in the temple as
God, at this moment is Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda. There may be other
antichrist who will come, but this man is here and now, and until another
antichrist appears, Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda is the antichrist. He
will show us just how easy it will be for millions to follow a false Christ
who will use deceptions and miracles to deceive the world.
Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda is a false Christ.
END
I want to repeat a quote we just
read from Pastor Reckart...
Most recently, followers have shown their support by getting "666" tattoos
on their bodies. "666", Miranda explains, is not a sign of the Devil (he preaches
that the devil was destroyed), but the number of the Antichrist. Miranda knows the secret to the Latin/Spanish people: it is
music. He puts together a good show of music to get those in attendance at his
meetings to start dancing like they are at a rave party. It works!
The rave party music puts those in attendance in a cultic swoon. When he
speaks like a preacher they all shout and swoon. He promises them liberty
while he himself is the servant of corruption.
This also evidences why so-called
"Christian Rock" music is so dangerous. The music is being used to lead
Christian young people into worldliness, apostasy, and acceptance of the
sinful world. Music is a powerful force.
Miranda is of the Devil; but appears
as an angel of light. 2nd Corinthians 11:13-15 warns us, "For such
are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the
apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into
an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also
be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according
to their works." It is not surprising that Mr. Miranda has perverted
the meaning of 666 and the Antichrist, for deception is what Satan does best.
Have you believed a lie?

Crowd Packs Amphitheater For Man Claiming He's
Jesus Christ Reincarnated
May 6, 2007
ORLANDO,
Fla. -- A controversial religious figure who claims he is Jesus
Christ incarnate with a following of millions with "666" tattoos on
their bodies, filled an amphitheater in Orlando this weekend, and
promised joy, peace and prosperity.
Orlando police officers stood guard around the Lake Eola
amphitheater as Dr. Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda, 61, arrived in the
city Saturday.
Miranda, who has been banned from three countries, told Local
6 News cameras and a cheering crowd that he was Jesus Christ
reincarnated.
His followers believe that Miranda's life and his teachings
replace those of Jesus of Nazareth, Local 6's Jamie Guirola said.
"They believe that Jesus is going to come from the sky," Juan
Sanchez said. "But, that is not the way he is going to come."
"He is here?" Guirola said.
"He is here." Sanchez said.
Miranda said millions of people worldwide have tattooed their
bodies with "666" in recognition that the second-coming of Christ
has taken place, according to the report.
"I have it proudly on my hand," a believer told Local 6's
Jamie Guirola. "It is easier when they shake my hand. It is easier
for them to ask. I am very proud to show it is a sign of love."
A group of Christians protested the event, calling the
following a cult. Police also removed two people from the
amphitheater.
"We are just questioning their faith and their '666'
tattoos," a protestor told Local 6. "We just want to learn more so
we can relate more between being a Christian and believing in this
and who the true Jesus is."
Miranda said he is known as God in at least 30 countries.
Local 6 reported that he was born in Puerto Rico and admits
to being a recovering heroin addict. He also spent times in prison
on drug and petty theft charges.
Miranda is the founder of the Miami-based Growing in Grace
Ministry.
It's hard to imagine a country more traditional, and
more religious, than Guatemala. For that reason, news that the country is
denying entry to a cult leader who tattooes "666" on his arm, calls himself The
Antichrist, and whose (alleged) 2 million followers describe him as a living
deity -- it's pretty far out.
Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda is the head of the Florida-based Growing in Grace church. He runs a 24-hour
Spanish-language television network, and hosts a radio program broadcast on 287
stations.
Thumbnail at left (Alexandre Meneghini, AP) (link to
full-size): A follower of Miranda holds a baby with "SSS" painted on her
head. The letters stand for Miranda's motto, "salvo, siempre salvo," or "saved,
always saved." This week, Miranda tried to fly on his private jet to Guatemala, where he
apparently has a big following, to celebrate his 61st birthday. But Guatemalan officials flagged him as a terrorist, and say he's a security
risk because he provokes conflict with Roman Catholics and evangelicals.
Despite the Guatemalan government's security block, his supporters say...
"It has been predestined, and angels will make it happen," said
Axel Poessy, Miranda's media director. "He is, after all, God himself."
Well, that didn't work out. Miranda was indeed
denied entry to Guatemala. Miranda spun the story of the nixed visit as his
choice:
He had vowed to defy the ban but canceled Saturday and will
instead address the gathering in a video teleconference, said the sect's head
pastor in Guatemala, Jorge Batres. "We're a church respectful of the law and
we will have to wait until the judge gives us an injunction," Batres said.
Batres said De Jesus Miranda's Guatemalan followers will "firmly fight
within the law so that he can come and let the world know that Jesus the Man
is in Guatemala."
No surprise here, but the church's website appears to be a
very important part of their "Antichrist ministry" outreach program.
The most interesting parts of the site, to me, are these videos of children
proclaiming themselves part of a "Super Race" of Miranda followers, and this
photo gallery documenting "Day of the Tattoo," where followers of de Miranda
all got tattoos of "666" and "SSS" ("salvo, siempre salvo") on their bodies to
proclaim their faith. Miranda moved his church and his headquarters to Houston some time
ago: Link.
Then he announced he is the Antichrist.
Acts 1:11 Reveals Jose
Luis De Jesus Miranda is a False Christ!
"Ye men of
Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken
up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go
into heaven."
The Scriptures plainly state that
Jesus will return in clouds of glory; NOT from the island of Puerto Rico with
a prison record. Anyone with a functioning brain would have to question
someone who promotes 666 as being something good, and who proudly claims to be
The Antichrist. It is important to notice that Miranda avoids the
Scriptures. Oh, how most people are woefully ignorant of the Scriptures.
In John 5:39 Jesus commanded... SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES! Yet,
people don't listen. Instead, they follow false prophets who blaspheme
and dishonor the Savior. Hell will be hot!
Luke 22:69 tells us that Jesus is
presently seated on the right hand of the power of God. Hebrews 1:3
states, "Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of
his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by
himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high."
Jesus is physically present in Heaven today. Jesus left this earth in a
physical body (Acts 1:11). Jesus was seen by over 500 people between the
time He arose from the dead, and the time He ascended into Heaven (1st
Corinthians 15:6). We read in Mark 14:62, "And Jesus said, I am: and
ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in
the clouds of heaven." Amen and Amen! Please don't be
deceived, Jesus is physically in Heaven today.
New Age Teachings
Mr. Miranda makes some bold false
claims. So bold in fact, that he CAN'T back any of them up with the
Scriptures. It is hard to imagine why anyone would follow a heretic who
denies the existence of Hell, claims there is no Devil, teaches that sin
doesn't exist, and professes to be a god. Is this not the teachings of
the New Age Movement? Yes, it certainly is! New Agers believe they
posses the power to become as gods through enlightenment and self-improvement.
There is no concept of sin or the need for repentance in New Age. New
Age teaches that there are many paths to the light, and no one correct path to
follow. Sincerity is all that matters to the New Ager (see Proverb 14:12
and Matthew 7:21-23). New Age is the religion of the now forming New
World Order, i.e., the Beast System of the Antichrist.
Many different religious and support
groups fall under the umbrella of New Age doctrines; including Wicca,
Freemasonry, Baha'i, Alcoholics Anonymous, psychics, psychology, spiritism,
Hinduism, Buddhism, and thousands of others. These groups all fail to
define who god is. They teach an ambiguous, one-size-fits-all god.
Freemasons for example, refer to their mythical god as "The Great Architect."
That is not the God of the Bible, for The Scriptures define God--His name is
Jesus Christ (John 1:1-3,14; 10:33; 1st Timothy 3:16; Colossians 2:9;
Revelation 1:8).
Correct Bible Prophecy
Exposes Mr. Miranda
The Antichrist will be a person, and
he will be evil through and through. Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda claims
to be BOTH Jesus incarnate and The Antichrist. This is impossible, for
how could Jesus be against Himself? Mr. Miranda is definitely an
ANTI-Christ; BUT, 2nd Thessalonians 2:6 expressly states that THE ANTICHRIST
(i.e., the person of Antichrist) won't be revealed until after the Rapture of
the Church. The Rapture of the the saints will take place 7-years prior
to The Second Coming of Jesus Christ to the earth to reign. This
is called the Pretribulation Rapture. Jesus will gather the Church with
Him in the clouds at the Rapture (1st Thessalonians 4:17), and He will not
return to the earth at this time. Jesus came 2,000 years ago TO
His own; Jesus is coming at the Rapture FOR His own; and Jesus will
return to the earth at The Second ComingWITH His own.
Jesus will not come from Puerto Rico with a prison record, as has Mr.
Miranda.
Conclusion
The Word of God expressly states in
Mark 13:21-22, "And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ;
or, lo, he is there; BELIEVE HIM NOT: For false Christs and false prophets
shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible,
even the elect." BELIEVE HIM NOT! You either believe
God's Word or you don't. You cannot follow Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda
and Jesus Christ, for they are diametrically opposed to each other. Even
a basic knowledge of the Word of God exposes Miranda as a very evil man.
Miranda is leading millions into Hellfire with himself. Jesus clearly
said that we shouldn't believe anyone who claims to be a modern Jesus.
Jesus knew that imposters would come, as wolves in sheep's clothing (Matthew
7:15). Jesus said to BEWARE of false prophets!
Jesus said in John 5:43... "I am
come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his
own name, him ye will receive." Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda comes in
his own name and millions of hellbound Christ-rejecters have received him.
This is wickedness. Mark 13:22 warns, "For false Christs and false
prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it
were possible, even the elect." Jesus didn't say "may rise"; He
said, "shall rise." There are many false prophets and false Christs in
the world today, just as the Word of God foretold. Jose Luis De Jesus
Miranda is a false Christ and a liar.
Those who are ignorant of the
Scriptures are doomed to destruction. The sad truth is that most people
today DON'T want the truth. 2nd Thessalonians 2:10 states... "And
with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because
they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved."
Most people have knowingly rejected the Bible and hate everything about Jesus
Christ (John 3:20). These same people will seek guidance from demonic
psychics like John Edward, false prophets like Oprah Winfrey, heathen
psychologists like Dr. Phil, or false Christs like Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda.
You need Jesus my friend.
I did a close examination of this man's forehead and
there appears to be a very light number there (666). Can you see it?
Here is the official emblem representing the new kingdom
Miranda claims God has sent him to set up. Notice it is nothing but a
distortion of the US seal.
Notice how 666 in veiled manners keep appearing
associated with Miranda. Does he deny this? No, he does not
believe in the mark of the beast he claims. But he uses S S S, like the
Nazi's did in Germany. Is he a new form of Hitler coming on the scene?
Does he hate Jews? We know he hates their religions. We can
almost bet he is a Jew hater also. When will he travel to Jerusalem and
try to take over Israel? Will he do it? He must if he is the true
Messiah. But will he?
It's hard to imagine a country more traditional, and
more religious, than Guatemala. For that reason, news that the country is
denying entry to a cult leader who tattooes "666" on his arm, calls himself The
Antichrist, and whose (alleged) 2 million followers describe him as a living

No surprise here, but the church's website appears to be a
very important part of their "Antichrist ministry" outreach program.
