Another False Christ Emerges

[GraftMeIn]

Matthew 24: 23-27
 Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or 'There He is,' do not believe him. "For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. "Behold, I have told you in advance. "So if they say to you, 'Behold, He is in the wilderness,' do not go out, or, 'Behold, He is in the inner rooms,' do not believe them. For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

Anyone hear about this guy Sergei Torop, also known as Vissarion? I guess he's been around for awhile. He has 4,000 followers (maybe even more) and claims to be Jesus Christ, he claims he's returned just like the Bible said he would in order to save the world. I think It's a shame that so many people would believe him.

I would consider this just another sign of the times, and also confirmation that what the bible says is true. Remember Christ is to come on the clouds, Every eye will see him. He's not going to be born in some country, or be reincarnated.

Is there a website or a link you can give me with more info? This disturbs me greatly, so many people mislead.

That guy's been around for ages. I think he started his cult more than 10 years ago.
Russia seemed to be the hot spot for cults in the 90s-everything from the Moonies to the Jehovah's Witnesses to the Aum grew phenomenally there.

Sure  here's a link  to the article about him. also a search on his name will bring up plenty more info about him.

There always were and there will be some people who call themselves Jesus but, as we all know, they are liars and their job is it to take away people from the real Christ. I believe that when Jesus will come back everybody on earth will know from his heart that it is the real Christ and there will be no doubt about it. I hope Jesus does not wait too long for his return.

Be blessed!

I feel sorry for this guy, I think he has some sort of mental problem... poor guy.

Look at who his followers are: beaucrats, politicians, former communists and other people who are now disenfranchised in Russia. They are searching for something, and this guy happen along at the right time with the right words.

One article about him says that the Old Believers (Bible-believing Christians) are repulsed by him and contantly speak out against him andhis teachings, making plain the differences between Torop and the real Jesus. If this guy were anything legitimate, born-again Christians would certainly not be responding this way.

If you want to see another disturbing Jesus-imposter, go to jesus.com. It's unbelievable. I could hardly stand to look, but at the same time, I couldn't not look. The website is sick yet captivating.

Torop could be a good candidate for Antichrist, if he gains enough power and followers.

I checked the jesus.com lambslove. You're right it's truly disturbing. I didn't even need to go any futher than the first page to be disturbed by it.

VirginBlack I agree Jesus said Many will come in my name. it's sad to see that people actually follow these guys.

 

[Susan]

Yeah, but IMHO Torop is simply another disaster in the making and not THE Antichrist. . .just another one in a long list of liars.

and the worse is yet to come.

I'm more concerned about his followers , can there really be that many lunatics running around without straight jackets on ?

 

[Kookaburra]

I've been to Jesus.com before, and it never fails to make me want to run all the way to school from our house (a 20-minute drive) and going through yesturday's events again before I read through it again.

It's sickening, and pitiful, what they have done with the image of our Savior.

 

[Sharky]

They're tons of those "I am Jesus" type of people around the world. It's sad i must say. Another guy i know is moon. Claims that Jesus' work was not enough and that "he" is the way. It's all said and done. Jesus is the only way. No other way and thankfully He has warned us about this already.

 

[GraftMeIn]

I have to say I couldn't agree more with what everyone has posted here. I have a feeling we will start seeing more and more of these types of things happening.

I pray we will all always remember to head Christs warnings to us about them.
