Man who says he’s Jesus brings his controversial message back to Houston

HOUSTON — He claims to be the second coming of Christ, but his message is controversial.

Dr. Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda came to the Houston area Sunday, and once again, a crowd gathered, rapt on his every word.
[...]

Miranda runs a worldwide organization called Creciendo en Gracia (Growing in Grace) – an organization that he claims has millions of followers.

He preaches a message of freedom to indulge.

“His message tells us that we’re perfect, that there’s no sin, there’s no devil,” Gisela Villanueva said.

Miranda also says there’s no hell.
[...]

But experts say Miranda’s operation has signs of being a cult.

Miranda wants to establish a world government with himself as the leader.

He’s also been criticized for accepting expensive gifts from followers like watches and cars, and living an extravagant lifestyle.
