Do you mean that Latter-day Saints slander Jesus?

I can assure you that quite the opposite is true; we love and worship him. He is the center of our faith. (Yes, the Jesus of the New Testament)

Best,

Normandy

Yes I mean the LDS slanders Jesus.

The fact that you say you love Christ does not mean you are following the actual Christ. Either you are sadly deceived or sadder still profiting from the deception.

Saying the Christ is Satan's brother, that he is one of many gods, that he is just part of a committee of gods and that he was conceived through the act of a physical father and physical virgin mother among other things the LDS doctrines profess are at the very least slanderous.

If you truly loved the True Christ such concepts would be as abhorrent to you as they are to me. That they are not...

O...  K...


 

In conclusion let us summarize this grand key, these “Fourteen Fundamentals in Following the Prophet”, for our salvation depends on them.


1. The prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything.
2. The living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works.
3. The living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet.
4. The prophet will never lead the church astray.
5. The prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on any subject or act on any matter at any time.
6. The prophet does not have to say “Thus Saith the Lord,” to give us scripture.
7. The prophet tells us what we need to know, not always what we want to know.
8. The prophet is not limited by men’s reasoning.
9. The prophet can receive revelation on any matter, temporal or spiritual.
10. The prophet may advise on civic matters.
11. The two groups who have the greatest difficulty in following the prophet are the proud who are learned and the proud who are rich.
12. The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly.
13. The prophet and his counselors make up the First Presidency—the highest quorum in the Church.
14. The prophet and the presidency—the living prophet and the First Presidency—follow them and be blessed—reject them and suffer.

I testify that these fourteen fundamentals in following the living prophet are true. If we want to know how well we stand with the Lord then let us ask ourselves how well we stand with His mortal captain—how close do our lives harmonize with the Lord’s anointed—the living Prophet—President of the Church, and with the Quorum of the First Presidency.

Yes, the LDS claims that Jesus was a created being...

...the physical son (concived by ‘natural’ means) of God the Father....

...only one of 3 Gods (for THIS world); one of millions of other Gods...

...was probably married...

...suffered in the Garden (with a ministering Angel) rather than taking upon man’s sins on the Cross (with no angels)...

...whose blood doesn’t cover ALL sin...

...and was a ‘victim’

ALL THAT IS SLANDER TO CHRISTIANS!!!
