I think I can name a few who did that. Joe Smith, Charles T Russell, Mary Baker Eddy, Felix Manalo, Apollo C Quiboloy, to name a few. 😀
False teachers are a dime a dozen. There are as many of them as there are gullible people to follow them. I’m always surprised at how easy it is to trick people into following one. You can see how there has to be some kind of demonic pull that captures those who are weak in their faith or who HAVE to seek a sign in order to believe. All it takes is a few circus sleight of hand parlor tricks and they’re hooked. It’s sad to see the elderly taken in by it. I wouldn’t want to stand next to one at judgment day - that’s for sure!
