“The only characteristics attributable to Christ are those He actually has. Being created is not one. Being married is not one. And so much more.”

you still cannot see past your own personal perceptions. just because mormons have a different understanding of the nature of the Son of God than you claim to have, does not mean that they are worshipping someone other than the same Jesus Christ that you worship. I bet your take, as a Christian, on who Muhammad was would differ greatly from that of a devout follower of Islam. Those differences in perception have no influence whatsoever on who Muhammad was—none. a human’s perception of an object has no influence on the object itself, except to the observer. A parents perception of their child could differ from that of that child’s teacher, but they still are describing the very same child: just different perceptions.

I can clearly see Who the Scriptures declare the Son of God to be.

Now, you make the argument that if someone ignores those inspired Words, then they can make up anything and in the end, it is still the same person.

Truth is not subjective. It is declared the God.

Just because someone believes Christ was a cucumber or a reincarnated salamander, does not make those objects Christ. They will always not be Christ. Consequently, they have no power to save. They are simply made up.

In the end, the object of your faith is what saves. That which cannot save, doesn’t transform because you have extra faith.

The syncretic mormonic beliefs, which are part New Age Movement, part cultic demonism and part Scientology, are always wrong and because they lead people to hell, always evil.

John 14:8-11

8 Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."

9 Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.
