[cast from Jesus]

"God. The Father and Son and Holy Ghost worshiped by Mormons are separate beings, three distinct Gods.11 "The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s; the Son also; but the Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of Spirit. Were it not so, the Holy Ghost could not dwell in us."12 God and man are not a "different species."13 Latter-day Saints regard as "a central and saving doctrine" that the "Father" was once a man 14 and is a man having a body of flesh and bones. "God is a glorified and perfected man, personage of flesh and bones."
15 Elohim (Hebrew name for God) is "the name-title of God the Eternal Father, the Father of the spirits of all men and women."16 Elohim was once a human on another planet who attained the status of deity.17 Elohim sired every single person in the pre-mortal existence before the earth was created.18 The doctrine of the Trinity as understood in historic and creedal Christian teaching is rejected.

God is regarded as "one" in the sense of being one "community" of personages, the Father being "one fount of divinity," and one "set of properties." Millet, 117, 142 [citing Alma 11:44; D & C 20:28].

Which one - the Mormon's Jesus or the Christian one?
 
Discernment beween the two is a responsibility any good Christian parent would exercise.  
 
And Gracefully, the relationship between myself and my Creator is beyond the temporal purview of Joseph Smith & Co's state-establishment of lies.

You still didn’t answer my question. That’s okay. Thanks.
