People can preach different images of Jesus which they concoct because they do not believe in the son of God of the Bible, and they can also preach the real Jesus and still deceive many.

Yes. Before Jim Jones started his last church -- and his "outpost" in Guyana -- he had an orthodox background.

Leaders can go astray in a # of distinct ways beyond distorting who Jesus is.

My understanding is that Jim Jones’ only “religion” was Marxism, and he figured he could soft sell Marxism by dressing it up in religious robes.

I did not know that about Jim Jones, i did know a man who had been a preacher and although i was too young to know at that time, he was said to be a good one, he told me later that he found himself unfit to preach the Gospel.

Unlike some of them, He did not want to take every one down with him.
