Who do you say Jesus is? -

Interestingly, ..who Jesus is...? is a question you can't avoid. You will either use his name as a curse word OR form a theory to explain him out. BUT for me Jesus is Lord and King, and the saviour of the world.
It is interesting to note how many Cults and False teachings began by someone getting a revelation from an 'angle of light'.
At the highest pinnacle of the MORMON temple, there is Moroni, the angle of light, who told Joseph Smith that all the teachings of Christinity are an abomination, and that he could become god himself.
One billion people today are following ISLAM because a man named muhammad claimed to have received revelations from an angel of light, who told hime that Jesus Christ was not God, that Jesus Christ did not die on a cross for man's sins, and man can save himself by keeping the law of Muhammad.
Today, there are hundreds varieties of 'Jesus Christ' being served to the mass. (Actually millions if you believe Shirley MacLaine's and one Mashadite's pronouncement that we are all gods or Jesus Christ!)
Jesus of Jehovah's witnesses is the archangel Michael. He is the first creation of God, he came to earth as man, he died on a stake, and he rose invisibly as a ghost.
The Mormons say that Jesus was simply on god in a pantheon of gods. He is the brother of satan, and the cross and blood of Christ are foolishness.
Mary Baker Eddy taught in Christian science that Jesus was just a pleasant idea.
Sun Myung Moon and the Unification Church say that Jesus was a man who failed, and that Sun Myung Moon is the second coming of Jesus Christ.
The Baha'is say that Jesus is one of the nine great world manifestations. They say it does not matter what religion you believe, since all religions are basically the same.
The Unitarians say that Jesus was a good man but his followers mistakenly deified him.
The Spiritists say that Jesus is an advanced medium in the sixth sphere in the astrological position.
The Rosicrucians say that Jesus is a manifestation of Cosmic consciousness.
Maharishi and Transcendental Meditation say that Jesus was an enlightened guru who never seffered or died for anyone.
THE JESUS OF THE CULTS & FALSE TEACHINGS IS NOT THE JESUS OF THE BIBLE.
Who is the real Jesus Christ? That's the ultimate question.
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. 1 John 4:1-3
