>>Jesus Christ is my Savior, my Redeemer, and my Best Friend.<<

Jesus Christ claimed to be God, the Creator of the cosmos, the one and only way by which we can enter into Heaven. These are high claims!

John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

John 8:12: Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I AM the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." When Jesus said, "I am the Aleph and the Tav," He was saying I am the Word, (or logos, written Word) that was in the beginning. In the first line of the Torah, in the first line of the first verse in Genesis, He was there with God! He was in the beginning and all things were created through Him.

Do you believe that the Jesus you profess is indeed the same as the God who created the world?

"Do you believe that the Jesus you profess is indeed the same as the God who created the world?"

Mormon scripture teaches that "the gods" created the world. Little further detail is given, but FLDS/LDS "Prophet" Joseph Smith had graven images of Baal carved at the Nauvoo Temple, and he carried a Jupiter Talisman, so at the very least mormons believe Ball and Jupiter were among those "gods" who created the earth. Brigham young also taught that Adam is God(s).

FLDS/LDS Book of Abraham, Chapter 4
1 And then the Lord said: Let us go down. And they went down at the beginning, and they, that is the Gods, organized and formed the heavens and the earth.
