...the Jesus of Christianity is different than the Jesus of Mormonism despite the marketing being done that calls the Book of Mormon (BoM)
“Another Testament of Jesus Christ”. The truth is Mormonism teaches a different God, a different Jesus, and a different Christianity.
That the God and Jesus of Christianity are not the same as the God and Jesus of Mormonism is not merely my opinion but comes from prominent Mormons and is borne out upon examination.
At the 147th General Conference, General Authority Bernard Brockbank (a Mormon) stated:
"the Christ followed by the Mormons is not the Christ followed by traditional Christianity. It is true that many of the Christian Churches worship a different Jesus Christ than is worshiped by the Mormons”
The Ensign, May, 1977 pg.26.
In 1998 LDS President Hinckley spoke of claims outside the LDS church that ‘Mormons do not believe in the historical Christ’ and whether or not he regarded the Jesus of Christianity as the same Jesus of Mormonism:
“No, I don’t. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak. For the Christ of whom I speak has been revealed in the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times*. He, together with his Father, appeared to the boy Joseph Smith in the year 1820 and when Joseph left the grove that day, he knew more about the nature of God than all the learned ministers of the gospel of the ages.”
Church News, June 20, 1998. * the term "Dispensation of the Fullness of Times" is used by the Mormon Church to denote "the last days" that Joseph Smith was said to have ushered in.
