Ok I did a search on do Mormons believe in Jesus Christ and what better place is there to go then to the source itself

And it says right here

We are all spiritual children of a loving Heavenly Father who sent us to this earth to learn and grow in a mortal state. As Mormons, we are followers of Jesus Christ. We live our lives to serve Him and teach of His eternal plan for each of us.

What Mormons believe about Jesus Christ

Would they say that Jesus Christ is our Savior? Or that he is the Son of God, or that God send Jesus Christ to earth to give us a way to overcome our imperfections, or that Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross for us? I don't think so

And btw I am not a Mormon, nor have I ever been in a Mormon church, and have no intention to go in one

Another little tidbit about Mormons...they believe that Christ and Lucifer were brothers.

They also believe that Christ is the pattern...that they will rule their own worlds after death because Christ rules this one.

They are very good at using christian rhetoric and fabulous at "family values" but do not believe in orthodox theology.

Isn't that like asking Pres. Obama if he's a Socialist/Muslim/Non-native American? If he is a Socialist/Muslim/Non-native American but doesn't wish to reveal that to the general population, of course he's going to issue statements that seem to deny it.

We don't take personal testimony at face value (unchallenged) in court (or in life, for that matter). To the contrary, we look at the evidence to evaluate the claims. I fear that the LDS church parses their words to make themselves appear more 'Christian' than many of us who traditionally self-identify as such.

All I know is what I've seen in my many years of direct personal and professional interactions with Mormons - and what I see conflicts with what I understand to be the Truth of Jesus' message.

Admittedly, I see (and exhibit) failures of similar types in fellow Christians, but I would hesitate to use the bad behavior of one group to justify the bad behavior of another - and I trust that others will do the same.

But of course they will claim that!

LOOK at their TEACHINGS!

I gave you a credible link and encourage you to dig deeper.

BTW, I voted for Mitt in the primary. Later I was disappointed when I learned more about the health care stuff he passed ... fooled once but not twice.

I don't dislike Mormons. I like Glenn Beck too but there is no way Mormonism passes for Christianity. You might want to ask yourself if you are okay with Mormonism, why YOU don't become one? Maybe that is a better way for you to discover their unBiblical teachings.

Mormons are interesting. They claim they believe in Christ. Where do you look for teachings of Christ? The Bible is usually the first source or clergy. Well Mormons believe the Bible is totally CORRUPT and had to be rewritten. Joseph Smith has rewritten it. So yes, technically they can claim they believe in Christ and the Bible but what they are not saying is they have a rewritten Bible and a Christ that is Joseph Smith’s view and they are not the same Bibles.

There is a parallel to Islam as well. Muslims believe when they die and go to paradise they will be serviced by countless virgins. Well, Mormons believe they will get a planet and be serviced by countless virgins. No where is that in the Bible.

Joseph Smith, as an adolescent also ADDED polygamy to his flavor of “Christian” teachings. The Untied State Supreme Court stuck it down as not compatible with our Judeo Christan principles. They are embarrassed by that bt still Joseph Smith dreamt that up. It goes on and on. Deception, bait and switch are nothing new even in the world of "religion".

I have no problem being around Mormons. They are typically nice people and very conservative. I know conservative atheists too that are decent people. They try to reason their way through life but refuse to acknowledge there is a God. It is a choice.
