“I’m confused by this comment. I stated my beliefs, and this is what you come back with. “

Stating you are confused is not a question, FRiend. It is
a statement. I am sorry you are confused.

“I have CFIDS (Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome) which sometimes impairs my ability to comprehend things.”

That sounds tough to deal with on a daily basis (I’ve known
someone with CFS). There are some alternative therapies that
have been a help to some friends I know with CFS.

‘If you know I believe in Jesus Christ, where did I lose you?’

I certainly hope you do believe in Christ. When a mormonism
follower says those words, though, they generally mean
a different Christ, a different God and mean something quite
different than Christians mean - and in conflict with what
the Bible teaches when it uses the same words. No doubt there
are followers of mormonism that really do know Christ, but
the teachings of mormonism don’t help someone get to Christ.

The demons believe too...

best,
ampu

I believe in Jesus Christ. There is only ONE Jesus Christ, and He is Lord. I can recall my Primary days (shoved aside by other religions over the years) in which I was taught about the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I was not taught about "one of them." I was taught of the One and Only.

Therein lies my confusion: I AM A CHRISTIAN!! I follow the Teachings of Jesus Christ! I believe in His Father, God, and I believe in the Holy Ghost.

I do NOT understand how you can say that Mormons believe in a "different" Jesus Christ, when there is only ONE, and there has NEVER been another. He took all our sins upon Him, atoning for each of us who ever lived, are living and ever will live.

Demons may believe, but they have no bodies and therefore, will not benefit from Christ's atonement.

Did someone tell you that Mormons don't believe in the Bible? Some of the most beautiful Scriptural Beliefs are contained in the Bible, both the Old Testament, and the New. I will never discount Scriptures from any source, including the Dead Sea Scrolls. Or anything found since then. I will continue to keep an open mind, as I feel that Revelation has many sources.

...a different God and mean something quite different than Christians mean...

So, if I tell you I believe in the only True Savior, Jesus Christ, doesn't that make me a Christian? If not, please enlighten me, as I may have been praying to a Lord who does not exist.
