Being Mormon myself, I can tell you that Mormons don’t embrace another gospel or another Jesus at all. That notion is simply false.
I would be glad to go with anyone to any random meeting in the church that includes gospel teaching to put that falsehood to rest once and for all.
Truth is, in the absence of personal experience no one can reasonably know. If one had the power to overcome the discomfort of letting the mainstream define your beliefs and fill you with misinformation and instead, invested the time with the LDS church long enough to see what they are REALLY all about - you would be flabbergasted at the unjust mischaracterization and disinformation these people endure. I say that as a person that was raised Catholic and invested substantial active time with the Baptist Church, The Methodist Church and Non-denoms.
In fact, I would challenge any reasonable seeker to put me to the test. Attend their meetings, invest your time and determine for yourself if what you observe is ANYTHING less than CHRISTIAN. You are on you honor, just go. Do your own thinking.. see what it really produces without someone having to look over your shoulder to qualify your findings.
The Epistle of James teaches “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”
A fourteen year old boy named Joseph Smith had the very same concerns and that is what he acted upon.
to his own surprise he got the message he got and the rest, as they say, was history and what a story!
I, for one, love that story. I believe that story. It jibes with my thinking and it is confirmed with what I feel when I pray about it.
But hey.. don’t take my word for it. That’s not how the process works. everybody gets to do their own homework on this one! :)
I have done my homework - which is how I know the counterfeit from the real thing.
Mormons believe Jesus was married at the marriage feast in Cana where He changed water into wine.
Mormons believe that the Mormon jesus was married to more than one woman.
The Mormon jesus was persecuted because he was a polygamist.
The Mormon jesus came into existence when his father in heaven created him along with his brothers and sisters, as a spirit being who was not yet a god.
Mormons believe Lucifer was one of the Mormon jesus's brothers, before the Mormon jesus became a man and later a god.
The Mormon jesus has become one individual god in a troika of gods which includes the Mormon jesus's father--who was once a man and inhabits a body of flesh and bones and through goodness gained the attributes of godhood when he was selected by a council of gods to be the god of earth--and the ‘never to receive a fleshly body’ holy spirit.
The Mormon jesus can save you, after all that you can do to be worthy of the grace of the Mormon godhead--which is, again, a troika of three gods working for a common purpose.
Mormons believe their jesus can save a person who rejected Him while in their body, by accepting a proxy baptism for them performed in a Mormon Temple by a Temple worthy Mormon.
The Mormon jesus gained the attributes of godhood through the life he lived in the flesh, which gained for that jesus exaltation.

Every one of that list of the Mormon jesus characteristics is based upon the teachings from Mormon leaders who are attested as true by Mormons, for if they do not swear they attest to these teachers' characterizations then they have no temple recommend!
When a Mormon accuses someone who opposes those heresies regarding Jesus of lying about their religious beliefs, we post the actual quotes of the teachers who said these things about the jesus Mormons are trusting to save them after all that they can do. And when one comes to make a vague accusation because of this post, I will list the quotes.
