Actually, I re-read your post and you are completely right. The change is a big one and much different than what is commonly understood by a limited theosis. I should have acknowledged that in my reply. Sorry.
The LDS claim isn’t that they are another branch of Christian orthodoxy or a more refined version of the extant mainstream Christian churches, but a complete restoration. In that they are untethered from the Orthodox, the Catholic or the Catholic Reformers/Protestants.
That particular thread, that still in some degree binds the previous three viewpoints, is broken, but I don’t believe the LDS claim anything else. Their prophets all claim a different Jesus than the Trinitarian view.
I know that many of you see them as dissembling their views, but they are frank about them and you can get it all from their own website.
Or just by asking them individually.
And there you have it...
A totally different Jesus is not a Jesus of Christianity.
Finally things are settled.
Congrats professor...
