Tom Cruise is not just one of Hollywood's leading actors, he is also the new 'Christ' of Scientology, leaders of the religion apparently believe.
Reports in the Sun newspaper claim that he has been told he is the "chosen one" to spread news about the faith.
Leader David Miscavige also believes that in years to come the Mission: Impossible actor will be worshipped like Jesus for his efforts to raise the profile of the religion, according to the British tabloid.
A source said to be close to Cruise told the paper: "Tom has been told he is Scientology's Christ-like figure.
"Like Christ, he's been criticised for his views. But future generations will realise he was right."
Cruise joined the Church of Scientology in the 1980s. It was founded by L. Ron Hubbard and is, according to its website, "the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, others and all of life".
At Cruise's wedding last year to the actress Katie Holmes the pair were reported to have chosen a Scientology ceremony but held a Catholic blessing later to appease her parents.
Christ would never come back as a midget.
ROFLOL! I'm laughing so much, I'll be needing an inhaler...
Hallelujah! One step closer; Thy Kingdom come!
1 Timothy 4:1-2 KJV
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
2 Timothy 3: 1-7 KJV
3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Do these people also do drugs as part of their religion?
Yep.
Exactly! Just what I was thinking when I wrote it too. LOL.
A complete power hungry materialist. Or just S-T-U-P-I-D. But I coorelate the two. Girl needs to pull that bible of hers out of the cardboard box and decide what she wants Gucci or eternity. Looks to me, she's made up her mind and has she. EWWW. Some one get the roach spray.
Does this mean Cruise gets crucified?Only by the movie critics.
