I am going to call you out on this one. It would appear that you are blatantly lying here. First off, we do not consider "Joey Smith" as our "savior who shed his blood" for us (or any other kind of savior). That isn't even a misrepresentation. That is a lie.

Second, the vast majority of the hymns we sing are about Jesus. In fact, I seem to remember it was just the other day that this crowd was complaining that Mormons stole too many hymns from non-Mormon sources.

So, when a orthodox Christian sings "A Mighty Fortress" they are singing about Jesus, but when a Mormon sings that same hymn they are not?

I know, I know, when a Mormon talks (or sings) about Jesus, it is the wrong Jesus. I understand that that is the key difference in these discussions. We can certainly discuss that without having to resort to falsehood, can we?

184
Upon the Cross of Calvary

1. Upon the cross of Calvary
They crucified our Lord
And sealed with blood the sacrifice
That sanctified his word.

2. Upon the cross he meekly died
For all mankind to see
That death unlocks the passageway
Into eternity.

3. Upon the cross our Savior died,
But, dying, brought new birth
Through resurrection’s miracle
To all the sons of earth.

Since Adam and Eve humans have been eternal, livikng or dead...

What has this got to do with the LORD Jesus Christ ???

His name is not mentioned in that song

“And sealed with blood the sacrifice
That sanctified his word.”

Fancy words but are they intended to mean anything ???

BTW dont ever call me a liar again Mormon...

Just because the exposure of the blasphemy of the pagan Mormon religion is inconvenient to you doesnt give you leave to attack the Christians in these threads...

As to the songs the Mormons sing, theres more “praise” in that well sang song to the mormon lord Joey Smith than just about any other song in the Mormon song book...

But since you dont seem to have a song that might have the name if not the right one heres one right out of the Mormons song book that does have your jesus christ in the verses...

In 1856 the Mormons published a hymnal which contained a hymn entitled, “We Believe In Our God.” This hymn plainly taught that Adam was the father of Christ:

We believe in our God the great Prince of His race,
The Archangel Michael, the Ancient of Days,
Our own Father Adam, earth’s Lord, as is plain,
Who’ll counsel and fight for his children again.

We believe in His Son, Jesus Christ, who, in love
To his brethren and sisters, came down from above
To die to redeem them from death, and to teach
To mortals and spirits the Gospel we preach.

(Sacred Hymns and Spiritual Songs for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Liverpool, 1856, p. 375, as quoted in “The Position of Adam in Latter-day Saint Scripture and Theology,” p. 16.)
