Well a man who says he is Jesus Christ, and the anti-Christ, held a conference for his ministry 1 in Stafford tonight. Soofia Aleem is live at the Stafford Civic 2 Centre, where the man who claims he is God just finished talking. Soofia.


 


Allan, Jose Luis spoke 3 here to about 350 people. His followers 4 say he is spreading a positive message, but others we talked with say he is controversial.


 


-All preachers are on the world, they have been lying.


 


This man has started the following, in which his worshippers view him as God.


 


-A short interview like this is kind of difficulty.


 


Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda's ministry is called the Government of God on Earth. His followers say they believe in the Bible but they also believe there is no devil, nor sin, and that this man is the second coming of Jesus.


 


-I just believe because I just know.


-Well, I believe in it because I understand that the foundation that, ah, Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda, the man, Christ Jesus is edifying 6 his church with, its, the Epistles. He’s basing it on the Epistles of the Apostle Paul.


 


But an Internet search of Luis Miranda's name shows controversy 7 brewing 8 over his preachings. Critics say he is a cult 5 leader and a liar 9. One website claims he is funding his million-dollar home and lavish 10 lifestyle with his followers' money. Today we saw his ministry collecting donations. But Jesus Miranda says that money won't go to him but he would not give specifics.


 


-You know how news are, sometimes, they say the truth, sometimes they don't say the truth.


 


People we talked with today say they disagree with Luis Miranda's preachings.


 


-Because nobody knows the coming of Christ.


-I don't think he is, you know. He really was into some spectacular...


 


We also tried to contact several churches and the local Catholic diocese, but no one was able to be reached for a comment.
