Mormons worship the same Jesus Christ of the New Testament and the particularly the synoptic Gospels just as you do. To claim otherwise is ignorant. Christ is the Savior of all mankind. That's all you need to believe in order to be a follower and disciple of Christ. True Christians are generous and large in spirit, not denying others of their relationship with God and Christ just because there are differences in how you relate to them. It is utterly crappy and childish to claim Christ all to yourself and others who think like you and to deny him to anyone else. That is NEVER anything Christ taught nor is it Christian. This is all I will have to say on the matter because I hate wasting time on such ugliness of soul which is antithetical to the love of Christ.
former mormon president, seer and revelator Hinkley is on record stating the the Jesus of mormonism is not the Jesus of Christianity.
This is clearly spelled out by their doctrine
Mormon Jesus is a created being, spirit brother to satan as well as you and I.
The mormon Jesus is one God in a mormon pantheon of gods inhabiting the universe
The sacrifice of Jesus only allowed for a general resurrection.
The Jesus of Christianity is the uncreated God the Son, eternal and almighty, creator of angels and man
The Jesus of Christianity is part of the Singular Trinity - one God, three Persons,continually sharing the singular divinity.
The Jesus of Christianity's sacrifice paid the FULL price for our sins and continually cleanses us, bring us straight to the Heavenly Father upon our death.

Trusting in and following a fictitious Christ will result in a fictitious salvation, no matter how sincere we may be. Show where we are 'denying' him to anyone else. Jesus Himself said some would say "lord, lord" on that day, and Jesus will say "I never knew you"
That is NEVER anything Christ taught nor is it Christian. This is all I will have to say on the matter because I hate wasting time on such ugliness of soul which is antithetical to the love of Christ.
Who do you think Jesus was speaking to when He said "REPENT"? Who was Peter speaking to in Acts on Pentecost? Who was Paul speaking to throughout his epistles? They all were speaking to correct and bring people to the correct truth.
I believe in Christ who is God - has always been God - there is no other God, nor will there ever BE another God.
Is He the same Christ of Mormonism? Now don’t lie MissesBush - I was a Mormon for 45 years.
Mormons do NOT worship the Christ of the Bible, esp the New Testament. To claim otherwise is ignorant or misleading.
The LDS ‘christ’:
is a created being...
had to earn His godhood...
is in reality a lesser god (only gets the Terrestrial kingdom)...
one of three gods...
was probably married and a polygamist...
is a ‘creditor’ we have to pay back...
didn’t NEED to die on the Cross because He atoned for sin in the Garden...
The Christian Christ, however:
has Always been God...
is not created...
Co-equal with the Father and the Spirit, one God...
didn’t sin...
paid for all of our sins on the CROSS, not in the Garden...
and all we have to do is believe.
NOT THE SAME CHRIST IN ANY WAY.

We are not denying you anything, Mormons are denying themselves a relationship with God and Christ by running after a gospel of works, rather than the Gospel of Grace.

Ummm.... Jesus said “I am the way, the Truth, and the Life, no man comes to the Father BUT BY ME”.
Not ‘temple rituals’, not good works, not tithing, not a denomination, not visiting teaching, not extra scripture. CHRIST ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE.
Once again it is the LDS that reject the true Christ in favor of their religion.
