According To MEDIA–Jesus Has Returned To Earth

This is getting truly ridiculous. The other day, the media was trying to
rock the world of Christians by giving the report that the bones of
Jesus had been found in a bone box in Israel. According to James
Cameron, of Titanic fame, there is a great deal of certainty concerning
this despite naysayers both in archialogical circles and Christian
circles. Seems that he hasn’t really made major friends there. But the
media shows the report as if Cameron can’t be wrong, at least in some
reporters’ eyes.
Then today, we get another report that Jesus is alive in Texas with an
incredibly huge following. So, which is it? They can’t have it both
ways. As a matter of fact, both of these media hyped stories are wrong.
However, we need to explore this thing about the guy who says he is
Jesus. His name is Jose de Jesus. A common enough name in Latin American
countries. His past is rather checkered. He is a former drug addict, a
thief to pay for his addiction (admitted), ex-con. Claims to have been
born again in prison. He currently drinks, smokes, has been married
twice (though that alone would not be a problem for me if he was
claiming to be a regular person. However, he is claiming to be the
Savior.).
His beliefs are truly way out there. Murder and theft are crimes but not
sins, according to the self proclaimed messiah. There are no sins, no
hell, no devil. He wears a 666 on his clothing. His followers are
flocking to get a tatoo of the 666 on themselves to be like their
leader. They want it to be a visible showing of what they believe. It is.
What is really disturbing is that he is acquiring a huge following. His
organization claims a million who choose to follow this guy. There are
many who actually believe that this guy is the second coming of Christ.
While I will not call him the devil because I also do not believe that,
he is certainly doing his best to attract attention for himself. It
brings in money by the boatload. Oh yes, in case you have not gotten the
point, the guy is claiming to BE God.
The scriptures are clear on this point. There will come a time when
false prophets will try to turn the heads of the elect. This person is
certainly turning the heads of many. The question now is…how many of
those were born again?
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I used to wonder what would turn
someone away from our Savior and Lord, Jesus? What possible thing could
change someone’s mind when they had already come to know Him? It is
beginning to become clearer and clearer that it won’t take much for some
to turn away. Some will struggle but they, too, will sadly turn from the
Lord because of some circumstance…..a loved one dying when they
believed He would heal them, some financial setback that they prayed
over and thought God would answer like they wanted, a personal tragedy,
either disease or accident that caused a person to leave their beliefs
because it did not fit into the senarios of what their life should have
been. There are countless reasons for a person or people will use to
leave the Lord, but it will happen, even as we are seeing right now. Are
some of those people previous believers? I hope not. I pray not. But it
would not surprise me.
Matthew 24:3-5, "And as he sat upon the
mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us,
when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming,
and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take
heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name,
saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive
many."
The guy who is claiming to be our Lord surely fits this scripture to a
tee. He is claiming exactly that. He is deceiving, according to their
organization, a million followers. From the old testament, it states
that the person who comes as Messiah will not be a sinner, will do no
wrong. The guy fixes that by saying there IS NO SIN, no wrong doing.
Perfect world, right?
Where will it end? When the Lord truly does come back. There is one
thing that people seem to be missing here. Jesus was clear telling His
disciples that He was here once. The next time He was coming back, it
would be in triumph in the clouds. Did anyone see this guy show up in
the clouds? Didn’t think so.
