brytlea: I would very much like more information on that, as it has been my understanding that Mormon’s see Jesus as a man and a brother to man, but not the same as God.

and I tried to answer, with a link to where I answered that many times before.

brytlea: Do Mormon's believe Jesus was a man, not divine? (yes or no will do)

LOL! When did you stop beating your wife, a date and time will do. (some questions cannot be answered simply because the question is badly formed or based on a bad pretext.

I will be as brief as possible:

A) Jesus is the literal, biological son of God (so he was born with all the physical attributes of Godhood like immortality, the ability to fast for forty days, etc.)

B) Jesus was also the son of Mary so he had all the weaknesses of mortality. (the ability to die, feel pain, be tempted, etc.)

C) This state of being is unique and necessary no one else in the history of the world could choose whether or not to die, this was essential for the atonement must be a voluntary act of love, not a compulsory thing because he got injured.

brytlea: Do Mormon's see Jesus as a son of God the same way you are a son of God?(yes or no again)

What is the marital status of the number five (married or single?) Again your question assumes things that just are not so. again, I will be as brief as possible.

A) Jesus was the firstborn of the spirits to God the father (which is why he is sometimes referred to as the firstborn as well as the only begotten.) so yes.

B) Jesus was part of the Godhead before he created anything, and Jesus Created everything except spirits. Jesus was divine before he created time and will be after time ends so he is God from everlasting to everlasting. so no.

C) Jesus also has the special relationship of being god's only begotten son, so no.

brytlea: If you can't answer that here, fine, just tell me, but don't send me off somewhere else when the answer is yes or no. I'm sorry if my original question (using the phrase more information was probably what caused the misunderstanding) gave the impression I wanted a longer answer.

Sorry, I thought you wanted the longer answer, to me Jesus is Fully God and Fully Man at the same time.

I hope I helped and have a great weekend.
