Well, of course he was and still is sincere. People all the time are sincere, just sincerely wrong. Sincerity and intensity of heart are great qualities to have but they don't make us correct. There is only one standard for that..The Word of God (RIGHTLY DIVIDED!!!!). People's sincerity is the tool that is often the reason they can reach so many people and get them to change their lives. Jim Jones was sincere. Malcolm X, Hitler....on and on...they were simply sincerely
wrong!! Should this be a new thread? =]
