And, he's got a huge posse -- much larger than the 12 he started with. ('Integrated' sounds a little dirty, doesn't it?)

A Puerto Rican minister says Christ 'integrated' with him. Others call him a cult leader and a charlatan.

In the rapturous eyes of his flock, Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda is, in fact, the second coming of Christ. As the head of the Growing in Grace International Ministry, he presides over a sprawling organization that includes more than 300 congregations in two dozen countries, from Argentina to Australia. He counts more than 100,000 followers and claims to reach millions more through a 24-hour TV channel, a radio show and several Web sites. He is supported by the generosity of his devotees, who have launched some 450 businesses to pour cash into Growing in Grace's coffers. Though de Jesus' followers worship him, others denounce him as a charlatan. Everyone, however, agrees on one thing: his teachings are incendiary.

IT'S NOT THAT HIS FOLLOWERS ARE STUPID IT'S THAT HIS FOLLOWERS ARE DESPERATE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO KNOW THE WORLD IS A MESS AND IS IN GREAT NEED OF SOMETHING GREATER THAN WE HAVE KNOWN. IF THE GUY HAD FLEW IN ON CLOUDS WITH ANGELS AND THE WORKS I'D BUY HIM IN A HEARTBEAT BUT THAT WASN"T HIS ENTRY SO I GUESS I'LL JUST KEEP ON PRAYING.

“23 Questions every Catholic should ask their priest”

Will you ask him to give you one single verse from the Bible that teaches any of the following?
1. That you should pray to the Mother of Jesus.
2. That Peter was ever in Rome.
3. That the pope is the successor of Peter.
4. That priests can forgive you of your sins and get you into heaven.
5. That there is such a sacrament as the mass.
6. That there is a place called purgatory.
7. That a priest is a mediator.
8. That virgin Mary is a mediator.
9. That the pope is infallible.
10. That water washes away our sins. (1Jn.1:7)
11. That there is a place called “Limbo”.
12. That the pope should be called Holy Father. (Matt.23:9)
13. That Jesus ever instituted cardinals, bishops, monks, nuns, monsignors, abbots, etc.
14. That Jesus ever said mass.
15. That masses will help the dead.
16. Mary was a Roman Catholic.
17. That it is not lawful for laymen to interpret the Bible.
18. That making the sign of the cross drives away evil.
19. That paying tithes and offerings will gain you favor with God.
20. That you can enter heaven while still bound up in the sin nature.
21. That a person can enter heaven without being holy and sinless. (Heb.12:14)
22. That confession is the new birth. (Jn.3:3,5)
23. That hell is not real, and where unsanctified sinners go after death.(Lk.16:23)(Heb.10:10,14)
Make sure all your friends get a copy of these questions if you are concerned about their souls.
Be not deceived, many shall come in my name deceiving many, said Jesus. Holiness and immorality cannot coexist. You have only one life to make your calling and election SURE.

I believe. I met Jesus in Durango,Co about 30 years. He was a hippie at that time. We smoked the wanna and talked about life. He said that sex is natural and to experience with all type of people and animals. He also said that peace was the answer. Make love and not war.
