Antinomianism Alive and Well in Missouri City

The Houston Press profiles José Luis De Jesús Miranda, a man who claims to be Christ and were it not for this little jewel, would not be worth mentioning - and I quote:

“Believing in Jesus of Nazareth does not make you a Christian,” he says. “Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew. He wasn’t a Christian; he was a Jewish man…People who put their eyes on Jesus of Nazareth become Jews, and they don’t know.”

That’s right. If I follow his logic, it is this - Jesus was Jewish, therefore if you believe in him, you become a Jew. Dare I ask which came first - Christ or the Christian?

HP also notes - “Last year Creciendo en Gracia’s central office pulled in over $1.4 million and added over 100 churches.” Sigh.
