Is this a different Christ?
If you are talking about the one the LDS officially follow, yes.
Former president hinkley is on record stating that the Jesus of mormonism is NOT the Jesus of Christianity. The "Jesus" of mormonism is -
- A created being who is ontologically no different than satan as well as you and I.
- Is now one 'god' among a plethora of other 'gods' throughout the universe ruling their own planets
- his 'god' had a god as did that god ad infinitum.
The Jesus of Christianity
- Eternally uncreated Second Person of the Triune God - creator of everything
- As the Second Person - there is only one TRUE God in existance and that God is represented in three Persons.
- God is eternaly uncreated and there are no gods before Him or after Him and there are none in the entirity of HIS existance.
Trusting in and following a fictitious Christ will result in a fictitious salvation, no matter how sincere one may be.
If you believe in Christ as your Savior and you gather to witness that, how can you condemn others that do the same, in a different manner? Is this a different Christ?

Yes, yes it is. The LDS Jesus is a different Jesus entirely and not really a Christ at all.
Elsie, and I, and others do this because we have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and we want the same for the LDS (and spare me the ‘we do’ speech, McConkie taught against it and it is not part of the teachings).
I used to be LDS (temple ‘worthy’, faithful, tithe paying) for several years so I know the difference.
