8. Much more (they area Super Race of Saved who can SIn with impunity!)
Edited on Tue Oct-10-06 06:33 PM by elehhhhna
The group is organized around José Luis De Jesus Miranda, a 59-year-old Puerto Rican man with impish charm and a taste for indulgence. Some defectors, like Regina Albarracin — a Pembroke Pines woman whose son remains a member — liken him to a cult leader. Devotees call him Jesus Christ and lavish him with gifts and money. More than 400 followers have set up businesses that funnel 20 to 80 percent of their profits into the ministry. Others donate cars, homes, and tens of thousands of dollars in cash and services.

De Jesus's followers believe they are God's true chosen people and call their children the "super race." They are also convinced other churches peddle deceit and spread poverty, war, and disease. But while this antipathy dates back years, only recently have they begun acting on it by disrupting religious events.

Very Republican-y, imo.


Over the past five months, Creciendo en Gracia parishioners have held at least 40 protests in more than a dozen countries. And De Jesus says this is just the beginning. "My purpose," he explains, "is to close down every church so the true church can begin. You could say I'm leading the greatest reformation that has ever happened."
...
If De Jesus treats sin lightly, that's because it doesn't exist, according to his gospel. He also teaches that Hell is a farce, the Devil is dead, and people are divided into two distinct castes. There are those who have no conscience or ear for his message — they are predestined for damnation. And there are the believers with incorruptible spirits who are programmed to hear his words as truth.

With their salvation assured, De Jesus's followers can indulge sinful urges. "Here it doesn't matter if you are a drug addict," he explains, "or if you have been married ten times. How many failures you've had — even if you've killed someone — we accept people with their weaknesses."

27. I didnt think Jesus was so Materialistic and prideful.....
...Nice fat ring you have there Cristo, not to meantion that suit and make-up job. I have seen Drag Queens wear less make-up then that.

If he is Jesus, then I must be Catholic!
