It is my belief that Jesus Christ is not God. Never was God and never will be God. He is the Son of God who CHOSE to come to the Earth and provide a way for the souls of ALL to be redeemed.

Well, well, a mormon who comes close to the truth for once - in stark contrast to other mormons here. But even here you parse your words. You are careful to separate Jesus from God - knowing that in mormonese God is often used to refer to heavenly father.

But your admission points to the fact that the mormon Jesus is drastically different from the Christian Jesus, and as such is basing its claim to be Christian on a false definition of Jesus. John 1:1 makes it clear - the Word (Jesus) was God.

It further makes it clear that the mormon theology is polytheistic doesn't it bigun, because mormonism considers Jesus and the Holy Ghost to be 'gods' as well as there being and uncounted plethora of gods inhabiting the 'heavens'.

You can't avoid it - mormon definition of 'christ' is not that which is clearly found in the bible- but that which has been spouted by smith and all the other prophets to date.

Does that mean that I believe all those who call themselves "Christian" are correct in their doctrine? No it does not but it is not for me to judge them. That is left to someone FAR greater than I.

Indeed - the mormon definition presented by you denigrates Jesus and presents a false view. the bom calls all non-mormon churches 'whores' and the church of the devil - pretty judgmental to me. Did you serve a mission? Did you try to convince people that their church was apostate and the mormon church the only 'true' church? Thats judging people by mormons bigun, please be big enough to recognize that mormonism has historically judged Christianity as unchristian.
