News, Pastor with 666 tattoo claims to be divine. (Jesus, followers, preacher)

[John1960]

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- The minister has the number 666 tattooed on his arm.

But Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda is not your typical minister. De Jesus, or "Daddy" as his thousands of followers call him, does not merely pray to God: He says he is God.

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

Nothing new about this it's a cult plain and simple.

"For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many." (Matthew 24:5)

That explains it he's an ex-heroin addict he's having flash back hallucinations.

He obviously thinks highly of himself....what is sad is that some people are actually following him. Delusional? At the very least.

That's the perfect verse for false teachers such as this man obviously is.

Here's another passage:

2 Peter 2:1-3 (New International Version)
False Teachers and Their Destruction
1But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

Its amazing how many definitions of 666 there are. From my understanding if you use the Greek alphabet with it's numerical equivalent then you get the 666. And from what I understand, the Bible is saying is that the future antichrist will have a name that when it is written in Greek, its numeric equivalent will be 666. But there are hundreds of names that equal that.

Is it the number of man of lawlessness? Of the Beast? Of the Antichrist?

What exactly does it mean? Does not the Bible speak against numerology?

Anyways, no doubt Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda is a wackjob, but he is definitely not alone.

There will be many false prophets claiming to be the Messiah!! This guy was on T.V. and he is a little hard to take. If you don't see the false prophets in front of you wondering how well you could know the Lord. Some of us are so easily mislead!!!
