Now I understand where you are coming from. Thank you for the explanation of your view.

it appears to me the Christ of LDS is different from the Christ of the Bible. do you think that is a topic worthy of respectful discussion?

I would like to discuss that topic as well. My understanding is that the Christ of LDS, after he died on the cross for our sins, then went to another continent and killed, buried and drowned a lot of people.

Hint: 3 Nephi 9:15 on the LDS site begins with “Chapter 9 -
