So, they have their leader saying he is Jesus Christ himself resurrected, saying there is so such thing as sin, no such thing as the devil or heaven, has them donate huge amounts of money (also land cars and businesses, encourages the idolizing of money, and teaches his followers to be atheist and march against religion itself.
What do you feel about this and have you heard of it?

If you are accurate in what you state the group teaches, then it would be a cult. There was only one Jesus Christ, so any time someone comes claimed to actually be him, it is faults. Any time a group claims there is no sin, it is obviously false.
On the money issue, true church can and should ask their people to give sacrifically when it is needed. So just "asking for money" all by itself is not reliable as a sign of a cult.

I've never heard of it. But how can someone profess to be Jesus himself, while at the same time not believe in heaven or hell? How can one believe that this man is Jesus, yet accept his teachings? It doesn't make sense. Sounds to me like a way to take advantage of confused and lonely people. Symptoms of a cult!

If there leader says he is Jesus then i'd say it is a cult. In Bible Jesus says that if someone says Jesus is here or Jesus in there don't believe it. Jesus will come in the clouds and every eye will see Him, His feet will not touch the ground and the righteous will go up to meet Him in the clouds.

Sound like it is a Jim Jones operation.
Perhaps David Karesch.
Even Sun yon Moon.
This guy comes right out.
I haven't heard of it.
I would say these people that follow this guy have a real problem.
Would you say he has control of their minds?
I'd say so.
Well it is written that there would be people like him come along, and people to follow them also.
The forecast is being fulfilled.
OLAY!

What a joke! This just proves that there are millions of very stupid people out there. There's a simple saying that comes to mind: There's a sucker born every minute.

No, I've never heard of this group. Sounds like a different Gospel to me.

I had never heard of this. Thanks for the web link. The man, 'Jesus', has very frightening eyes. This is not a good thing here. I am not Christian either.

Although I know nothing about this organization, from your description, it is definitely a cult.
