John the Baptist, is accorded a special status, higher than his role in Christianity. Mandaeans do not consider John to be the founder of their religion but revere him as one of their greatest teachers, tracing their beliefs back to Adam. Mandaeans believe that Jesus was a false messiah and that he perverted the teachings given to him by John. They view John the Baptist as a savior, but not as God, so they do not worship him in the way that Christians worship Jesus.
