Miranda is the man who would be God. He’s not unlike Copeland, Cref, and Price, simply more extreme in what he does.
You know Miranda. He’s the one in Florida who says he is Jesus Christ. Now he also says he is God. Take a look here.
Tweet found the article for me. Of course Miranda says he’s the anti-Christ and his followers are tatooing themselves with the number “666″. This bozo is almost as confused as Cref, Kenny, and that linguistically challenged, Copeland lap dog, Leroy “Money Comin’” Thompson. At least Miranda and his people know that Creciendo en Gracia (the name of the organization) are the enemy of Orthodox Christianity.
Your boys in the WoF organizations are partially to thank for this fellow and his ability to prosper. I say partially because clearly Satan, as the author of lies, is giving the bloke a leg up as well.
But back to the WoFfers. They have done such a complete job of smearing any connection between what the Bible says and what it means, that the average nominal Christian is too stupid to be able to say “Thus says the Lord,” about much of anything. And the rest are to mamby-pamby and greedy to be willing to say anything less than positive about the pimps and pimpettes they insist on throwing money at.
I am willing to wager my website that some of you are going to tell me I shouldn’t judge this guy. Actually, you should tell me that if you are going to be consistent. And notice I said consistent and not thoughtful.
If we are not to judge, then I shouldn’t fuss about this guy claiming to be Jesus Christ any more than I should judge Creflo for saying that Jesus had to become God or judge Copeland for claiming that God is about 6 foot 4 inches and weighs around a 250 pounds.
Miranda has thousands of members in 30 countries. Do any of you want to tell me that God is blessing him and so he must be a Mand of Gawd? Or are you willing to say he is not preaching anything close to the truth and therefore should be spoken against and rejected?
Remember, he got started because a radio station in Miami was willing to prostitute itself and broadcast his program. How many supposedly religious stations in your areas broadcast Jakes the Jamoke, Copeland, Dollar, the Fairy Godmother and others? And how many of the supposedly Christian bookstores in your area hawk these guys’ books?
If you’re going to judge Miranda, then you better judge the rest. They are beginning to define mainstream evangelical Christianity. And this does not bode well for those of us who hold to the truth of the Bible. Get ready! Get Ready! Get ready!
It will be interesting to see if Jakes, Dollar or Copeland etc. will say anything denouncing this pimp. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. They probably won’t though or if they do it will be to deflect scrutiny of themselves. Sort of like the pharisee putting down the tax collector.
I doubt they will say anything…What for? Time spent on this nut will take away time from their activities, right?
I’m just amazed every time I find an article on this guy. Well maybe amazed isn’t the right word…Scared maybe…Scared that people actually believe this foolisness and then follow him to the tattoo parlor for their 666’s….
SMH…
This is just the beginning a lot of “new doctrines” that are becoming very popular. Look at Calton Pearson and his “Gospel of Inclusion”. This is sad!!!!
Melvin, Melvin, Melvin this does not shock me one bit. In fact are you aware of Rev. Sun Myung Moon? This Miranda character is probably on par with Rev. Moon. In fact, Pimps like Jerry Falwell garnered millions with the help from Moon. Now as for this Miranda character I do give him credit where credit is due. OK! Hold on! I have not lost my mind. At least he is intellectually honest as to who he works for. For example, he has 666 tattooed on him. He believes the antichrist replaced Jesus. And finally he claims that he is God. This is the lie that was espoused in the garden. So at least everyone who follows this clown is following the devil. I mean think about it. The other pimps beat around the bush but this guy basically comes out and says he’s one of the devils own. So the followers of this clown HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR THEIR BEHAVIOR. Basically if you claim you are a Christian and you can’t see through this guy than you really need to be born again ASAP.

Everyone who has ever said they were Jesus or God that were given enough time have become dangerous (e.g. Jim Jones). But wait , Sun Myung Moon is the Messiah how can he be? Seems like the Messiahs need a meeting to decide who will replace Jesus for the final outcome. This man seems to be confused by his own doctrine. During one interview he was plainly asked ”Are you God?” His response was ”I don’t know”. We can’t just put this false prophet among other mainstream prosperity pimps, at least he obviously is not going to get satisfied with that. He states, ”We’re the government of God on Earth,” ”We will spread all over and rule the world. We will control the church, the economy, society, education, politics, technology. There will be no war, no corruption. I mean, if a lie can change the world, why can’t the truth do it?” That alone is quite spooky, folks! You can’t get more deceived than this. I won’t be surprised if this guy is indeed the anti-Christ he claims to be.
“Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, ‘I am Christ” and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24:4-5 How sad.
I wonder if Copeland has measured his “Span” ?
I thought the same thing when I saw this. He is no different than Copeland and Dollar. I noticed people who think Creflo and Ken are the bee’s knees, dog this cat, yet listen to similar dribble.
Rex, I just got through debating with a guy who says the same thing. He told me I shouldnt lump Jakes in with this guy, he told me I should stop judging Jakes, and slinging mud, and I told him to stop judging miranda then, he didnt have anything to say. I also reminded him, that jakes false trinitarian doctrine is a blast on essential christianity, so that makes him just as bad as miranda, he said it doesnt because miranda say’s he’s christ, and jakes doesnt, I said so you weigh some sin to be greater than other sins.
People are funny how they draw their loyalties regardless of truth.
binks
Melvin Grace and Peace to you.
I posted a comment the other day and thought that I was supposed to use my name and E-mail address.
Well It’s still there. Will you please remove it. thanks malachi

Guys like this help the cause of people like Cashflow, Shaky Jake, Dopeland, JaMALL of Churches Bryant, and the rest. If they condemn this guy it will only be in their congregations and it will be with the aim of saying “See, tell the people who say I’m a heretic, or false prophet, to look at this guy. I’m no where near “as bad” as this guy.” Oh no, did I just judge them. Pray for me I have that tendency.
First I’ve heard of this one, Miranda.
If it were April 1st I would not believe this guy Miranda really exists. In fact, I’m so shocked by that nut I checked the web link Melvin gave twice, just to be sure it was CNN and he was not trying to trick us, because it’s so insane.
Miranda is moving along the anti-Christ path. False teaching, getting people to take his mark and such. Here is a direct link to the CNN video. He’s not THE anti-Christ, but he’s certainly one of the “false christs” that Jesus said would come. See Matthew 24:24.
The guy just shows, this world might be more ready for the REAL anti-Christ than we think.
And this does not bode well for those of us who hold to the truth of the Bible. Get ready! Get Ready! Get ready!
People will make excuses for this man. If anyone points out how he is obviously a follower of Satan, they will be called judgemental, intolerant, and unloving’. Well, I admit to being intolerant. I also admint to just about having my craw full of this dreck. I wonder….is this ‘deception’ of people not willful? I mean, it’s there in black and white! Jesus was quite clear about the 1)Who He IS, 2) the signs of the coming rapture, 2) the signs of His impending arrival, 4) the penalties for ignoring numbers 1 thru 2. Who in the United States of America can possibly claim ignorance of the facts? If America has nothing else, she has lots of bibles.
(MN: Facts!?!? We don’t need no steenkin’ facts! )
I would like to say something really witty, but all I can come up with is “wow”.
i too was shocked whe i saw this, at our ministers meeting i shared this and they too were all shocked: being of the hispanic race, i went to his web sight and listen to his sermon, priase God i knew my bible, cus those people were being dooped BAD!!!! listening and thinking of those poor souls believing every word that came out of this guys mouth, i felt real bad: lets the church say…..AMEN Atl, Ga
Thanks Melvin for the post on Miranda! Obviously he is not “The Anti-Christ” but he is as the Apostle John wrote in 1 John 2:18, “Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time”. Miranda is one of the many. The greatest need for the church today is discernment. Somehow I feel that the people following this guy are “church people” ’cause I don’t know of many lost people who would give anyone like this 50% of their income. I do agree that many of these so-called prosperity preachers have helped in drawing the greed from within men’s hearts. I don’t think they remember the words of the Lord, “Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones” (Luke 17:1-2).
Melvin, thanks for the post on Miranda. Obviously he is not “The Ant-Christ” but he is certainly one the “anti-christs” John the Apostle wrote about. I do believe that many of these prosperity preachers have drawn greed out of mens hearts and they will answer to the Lord for causing many to stumble. Woe be unto them!
Ya’ll sure this aint benny hinn’s brother.. lol….
My jobs covering the news. I recently had to write a synopsis on this joker. I wish I remembered what channel he was on (I cover all US TV media sources…might have been MSNBC)
Sad.
He’s redefining what Anti-Christ means, says it means he’s better than the old christ. After all, he’s doing more wonderous things that ‘that’ guy ever did.
Apparently his followers are also violent and disruptive of other religious groups services.
There might be something on Youtube about him.
Basically it comes to an old quote of mine.
“I can say anything I want and the foolish will always believe it to be true.”
This joker is the icing on the cake. At least when the WolFs twist things, they try to still portray themselves as prophets and messengers of light. This guy doesn’t even care about all that. Just say what you want.
My only concern is the fall out from this guy. He’s litterally another Jim Jones in the making. He’ll either implode or explode which is why he’s covered in the media. I dread to think what the ex-follower/survivors of this guy will be like.
Thanks for posting the article about this imposter who calls himself Jesus. We who read the bible should already know that this man is being influenced by satan. Jesus told us that in the end times that people will say that they are jesus and to not go that way or be deceived. It is very imparative that during these end times we watch for people such as this guy. Also how can this man change the complete meaning of what antichrist means and the number 666. Please people do not follow this man or be deceived by his teachings or will burn and be tormented in hell.
