Crowd Packs Amphitheater For Man Claiming He's Jesus Christ Reincarnated

Christians Protest Event In Orlando

May 7, 2007

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A controversial religious figure who claims he is Jesus Christ incarnate with a following of millions with "666" tattoos on their bodies, filled an amphitheater in Orlando this weekend, and promised joy, peace and prosperity.

Orlando police officers stood guard around the Lake Eola amphitheater as Dr. Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda, 61, arrived in the city Saturday.

Miranda, who has been banned from three countries, told Local 6 News cameras and a cheering crowd that he was Jesus Christ reincarnated.

His followers believe that Miranda's life and his teachings replace those of Jesus of Nazareth, Local 6's Jamie Guirola said.

"They believe that Jesus is going to come from the sky," Juan Sanchez said. "But, that is not the way he is going to come."

"He is here?" Guirola said.

"He is here." Sanchez said.

Miranda said millions of people worldwide have tattooed their bodies with "666" in recognition that the second-coming of Christ has taken place, according to the report.

I find it odd that the Antichrist times his North American Tour to coincide with the Queen's tour. What an opportunist!

3. Yeah, But I Hear the Catering is Excellent!
A bit too heavy on the seafood, but just like Fazoli's, you get plenty of bread with your meal.

4. This is the problem with the God-Biz. One person's claim is no more
outlandish or ridiculous than another's. He says he's Jesus Christ, so did that guy 2000 years ago. You can't prove or disprove either claim. It goes with the territory...

But more importantly, why is he banned in 3 counties?

8. Why the fuck should Christians care?
Isn't it really odd how Christians are the first to scream about persecution whenever someone takes down a Christmas tree in public, yet they are quite vocal about persecuting Wiccans, New Age cults, and any other religions they deem unacceptable?

Sure this guy is weird. But who cares - if people want to believe he's Jesus Christ, how does that threaten anyone?
