Interesting pieces on NBC's Today Show (see video here) on a group called "Growing in Grace". It's leader, Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda, claims essentially to be Jesus. The risen Jesus "integrated" himself into Miranda, the preacher claims. His website says he is "the last manifestation of God in the flesh..."
Watch the video, and see the cult-like qualities. An absolute leader (who can questions Jesus himself?). Lavish donations. The leader living a life of luxury. Families estranged. Miranda says all other religious leaders are liars, and encourages his followers to protest other churches.
It makes me sad to see people who have a true need being exploited. People who want religion, faith, God in their lives, get a con-man instead.
