"I am that Person" Jesus Christ

Jose Luis Espinal adds a new spin on taking the Lord's name in vain. On Friday a Manhattan Civil Courts Judge ruled that Espinal could legally change his name to Jesus Christ. When asked why he wanted his name changed to JC the unmarried and unemployed Espinal said, "This was not done for any reason other than I am that person. You're dealing with the real deal." While Espinal claims to be the real deal I believe the beloved apostle of the true Christ hits the nail on the head when he writes, "Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour" (1 John 2:18). So while Espinal claims to be Jesus Christ God's holy word states otherwise. A little later on John admonishes his readers to test all those who come claiming to be prophets from the Lord:

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error. 1 John 4:1-6

Instead of being a true believer, one who confesses that Jesus Christ who has come in the flesh is from God, Espinal confesses that he himself is Christ. His name change exhibits in all its depravity the spirit of the antichrist.
