José Luis de Jesús
José Luis de Jesús Miranda (April 22, 1946 – November 17, 2013) was the leader of the Creciendo en Gracia cult, based in
Miami, Florida. He
claimed to be both the returned phase of
Jesus Christ and the
Antichrist; he was known for making statements that opposed the precepts of the
Roman Catholic Church but that followed his interpretation of the
Bible. He was previously known as ''el Jesucristo Hombre'' (which translates, roughly, to "the Man Jesus-Christ") but shortly after his death, his followers granted him the title of
Melchizedek because, as stated by his official site, he attained his new and final name which means king of justice and king of peace. Footage from one of his sermons as well as an interview with
comedian Bill Maher are included in the 2008 documentary film ''
Religulous''.
