7 People Who Claim To Be Jesus by joshadedapo(m): 12:36am On Sep 25, 2015
The word on the street is that you want
people to believe that you’re Jesus Christ.
Throughout time there have always been
men that have claimed to be the second
coming. I mean why not? It is a pretty
cool gig if you can get it. If people think
you are Jesus, then you can have their
money, and get pretty much any woman
that you want, and have ridiculous
amounts of power. That’s what one man
in the Philippines has done, with little
opposition.
The thing about self-proclaimed Jesus is
that if you do horrible things, you can
just claim that you were told to do so by
the word of God. No wonder there have
been so many guys playing the Jesus
card over the years.
Sometimes it is obvious that these people
said they were Jesus to take advantage of
their followers and to get money, women
and power; other times, it is clear that
some of these people claimed to be Jesus
purely because they were totally insane.
No wonder there have been some
unusual mass murders in history,
include the infamous Jonestown
Massacre.
People will believe anything when it
comes to religion, whether their leader is
a psychopath (Jim Jones, anyone?) or a
peaceful individual. These are the list of 7 people
who claimed the identity of the man of Nazareth.


7. AJ Miller – He Met Plato
The 4th Jesus of this list founded in 2007
a group called “The Divine Truth” and
hails from Australia. Miller figured out
he was Jesus over a one week period,
and claims he can remember everything
over the last 2,000 years, meeting the
likes of Plato, Socrates, and even Gandhi
among other important figures! Sadly for
him, he even remembers being crucified.
Miller might actually believe what he is
saying. He doesn’t seem to be treating
his followers all that horribly although
he seems to be making some money from
it. A lot of them donated land to be near
Miller, so who knows? Before becoming
Jesus, Miller was a member of the
Jehovah’s Witnesses, until he was kicked
out for leaving his wife for another
woman.


6. Sergey Torop – The Traffic Cop
Known as Jesus reincarnate to his
disciples, Russia’s Sergei Torop
commands thousands of followers in the
Sayan Mountains of Siberia. The former
traffic cop announced he was the son of
God in 1990 following a revelation. How
else is he supposed to convince people,
right?
Going by the name of Vissarion, his
followers believe Torop has come to save
the world. His teachings include
veganism and aliens among other things.
Critics have accused him of
brainwashing and embezzling many of
his followers. Apparently, Vissarion has
six children and two wives.

5. Oscar Ramiro Ortega- Hernandez – The Assassin In 2011, Hernandez an unemployed 21- year-old at the time, fired 9 shots at the White House. He did so because he believed himself to be Jesus Christ, and that he needed to kill American President Barack Obama, who he believed to be the anti-Christ. A few weeks before the event, Hernandez started telling acquaintances that Obama was controlling people, that he had to be stopped and was going to put tracking devices into children. He also sent a video to Oprah Winfrey claiming that he was Jesus Christ. He is currently serving 25 years in prison.
6. Marshall Applewhite – To Space And Beyond Applewhite once posted a message that began “I, Jesus—Son of God” on a forum. Well, okay then. Applewhite was the leader of the infamous Heaven’s Gate Cult. Why were they so infamous? Well, you might recall a bunch of people that killed themselves in 1997 because they thought they were going to be picked up by a spaceship that was hiding behind the Hale Bopp comet? The guys that wore the Nikes? Yeah, that was them. Who knows, maybe they all flew away on that comet and he really was Jesus, but somehow we doubt it.

3. Inri Cristo – Jesus Look-A-Like Cristo is one of the more harmless people claiming to be Jesus on this list. He hails from Brazil and claims that he has always heard a powerful voice in his head, but didn’t realize that is was God until 1978, when the voice told him that he was, in fact, Jesus. While Cristo is a bit of a celebrity in Brazil, appearing on many TV shows and lecturing in colleges, he has not been quite so lucky abroad. He has traveled to over 27 countries trying to spread the word but has not been too successful. He has been kicked out of the United States, and has been detained over 40 times because of his appearance and things that he says.
2. David Koresh – Son Of Guns Koresh is without a doubt a pretty creepy Jesus. While he never actually said he was Jesus, he did claim to be the Son of God, which is pretty much the same thing. Koresh was the leader of the infamous Branch Davidian cult, from Waco, Texas. Koresh married numerous women who were his followers, and was said to have had sex with many underage girls in the Branch Davidian compound. He also was into having lots of guns before the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms led a siege. The compound burned to the ground, leaving many adults and children dead, including Koresh.

1. Apollo Quiboloy – The
Brainwasher
Our next Jesus comes from the
Philippines. Apollo Quiboloy runs the
Restorationist Church and claims that he
is the “Son of God.” It seems like it might
be a tad easier being Jesus in the
Philippines than other places, because he
has a fair amount of power. How he
managed garner 4 million followers in his
home country is beyond me.
It isn’t all easy being Jesus though. He
has been accused of brainwashing
followers, holding children against their
will, and being involved in murders of
people who refused to sell him land.
