Jesus of Nazareth, also known as Jesus Christ, or simply Jesus, is the central figure of Christianity. The life and sermons of Jesus form the basis of the Christian faith. Jesus Christ is recognized by believing Christians as God incarnate, the Son of God who was raised from the dead—the Redeemer of mankind—the most important figure in history.
According to Mormon doctrine, Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. However, it seems that even the perceived Savior of the world is not exempt from LDS temple rituals. Proxy rites for Jesus Christ were performed in the Salt Lake (LDS) Temple in Utah, in April 2010. The Salt Lake Temple, located on Temple Square in the heart of Mormon-dominated Salt Lake City, was dedicated on April 6, 1893—three years before Utah became a state in 1896—and is one of the oldest of the 132 currently operating temples that are owned and maintained by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS.)
New FamilySearch is the online genealogy database of the LDS Church that contains updated details of LDS temple ordinances that have been done for dead people. There are multiple listings for Jesus Christ in New FamilySearch—under different versions of his identity—which have been submitted by individual Mormons. It is not known how many times Jesus has been subjected to LDS rites because all New FamilySearch records for him—including combined records—show LDS ordinance details as “Not Available.”
On May 27, 2010, there were two similar records for Jesus in New FamilySearch which had been submitted by the same person. One listing was titled “Jesus Christian,” and showed “Jesus Christian” was born “before 1500 Bethlehem, Israel,” and died “before 1550 Jerusalem, Israel.” LDS ordinances were tagged as “Not available” on this record. The other entry was for “Jesus Cristian,” who was born “before 1502 Bethlehem, Israel,” and died “before 1539 Jerusalem, Israel.” The entry for “Jesus Cristian” gave a description of LDS ordinances, along with the name of a spouse—“Maria Magdelena.”
“Jesus Cristian” was baptized and confirmed a member of the LDS Church by proxy on April 8, 2010 in the “Salt Lake City Utah Temple.” “Jesus Cristian” was also subjected to initiatory temple ordinances on April 8, 2010; an endowment ceremony on April 9, 2010; and a marriage “sealing” to “spouse” “Maria Magdelena” on April 9, 2010—all rites occurred in the “Salt Lake City Utah Temple.”
It appears the submissions for “Jesus Christian,” and “Jesus Cristian” were attempts to manipulate the identity of Jesus Christ through the LDS temple system. The misspelled “Cristian,” instead of “Christian,” could have been a typo, or a deliberate error. It may have been intentionally entered as “Cristian” to get around a computer program that automatically blocks submissions that contain the names “Jesus Christ.” That would explain why the entry for “Jesus Christian” shows LDS ordinances as “Not available.”
While both New FamilySearch records in question lack complete birth and death data, and give imprecise “before” years of these events—the first name “Jesus” combined with the surnames “Christian” and “Cristian” (both spins on the name of “Christ”) are signs that “Jesus Christian” and “Jesus Cristian” are pseudonyms for Jesus Christ.
Other indicators on the New FamilySearch records that point to Jesus Christ are the birth place, “Bethlehem,” and the death location, “Jerusalem.” (Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem and died outside the walls of old Jerusalem.) Another clue to the identity of “Jesus Cristian” is the name of his “spouse”—“Maria Magdelena,” a misspelled variant of Mary Magdalene. “Maria Magdelena” is not listed on the “Jesus Christian” record.
Because “Jesus Christian” and “Jesus Cristian” have similar names and identical birth and death locations—“Bethlehem” and “Jerusalem,” they are probably the same person. Their birth and death years are similar, but not the same. The estimated dates listed for these events look like they have been fabricated. According to their New FamilySearch records, “Jesus Christian” and “Jesus Cristian” were born and died in the 16th century. “Jesus Christian” lived roughly 50 years, while “Jesus Cristian” died in his thirties.
On May 27, 2010, “Maria Magdelena” was listed in New FamilySearch with her birth date as “1504 Israel,” and death date as “before 1540 Israel.” Both years are likely inventions. Along with “spouse” “Jesus Cristian,” “Maria Magdelena” was baptized and confirmed a member of the LDS Church by proxy on April 8, 2010 in the “Salt Lake City Utah Temple.” She was subjected to initiatory temple ordinances on April 8, 2010; an endowment ceremony on April 9, 2010; and the marriage “sealing” to “Jesus Cristian” on April 9, 2010—all rites were done in the “Salt Lake City Utah Temple.”
Mary Magdalene is described in the New Testament as a faithful follower of Jesus. Because the concept of marriage is strongly emphasized in LDS teachings, the notion that a spousal relationship existed between Jesus and Mary Magdalene is common among Mormons—although that belief is not formal LDS doctrine. There is no reliable historical evidence to indicate that Jesus was married—to Mary Magdalene, or anyone else.
LDS Church officials have publicly stated that the New FamilySearch program is a technological deterrent to improper submissions. Yet—under their very noses—on Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Jesus Christ—under a false name—two millennia after his birth, was offered Mormon salvation and an erroneous eternal marriage sealing.
Sometime late in the day on May 27, 2010, the individual entries for “Jesus Cristian” and “Maria Magdelena” were scrubbed from New FamilySearch—concealing the evidence that LDS rites had recently been performed for these two names in the Salt Lake Temple. The sudden disappearance of these records is a strong indication that “Jesus Cristian” and “Maria Magdelena” represent Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene.

Is “the Seer” considered official LDS doctrine? I can’t find a reference to it as such....magritte
[Jesus] by MARRYING MANY honorable WIVES himself, show to all future generations that HE approbated the PLURALITY OF WIVES under the Christian dispensation, as well as under the dispensation in which His Polygamist ancestors lived. “ (Mormon Apostle Pratt The Seer. page 172)

Sick is lying on God and Jesus! Sorry if the truth is hard for you to hear.
Let me ask you two questions: If the BOM is the most correct book on earth and man will get nearer to God by abiding by it’s precepts than any other book.
1. Which BOM is the most correct book, the 1830 ed. or the 1985 ed. they’re different!
2. Why is there no Mormon doctrine in the BOM, a book that claims get you closer to God than any other book? For example: eternal progression, God being a man, Jesus and Satan being brothers, There is only one God, God is spirit and Celestial marriage. I could go on but you get my point.
I wonder if these people have considered the very real possibility that one or more of their ancestors was illegitimate. That would throw a monkey wrench in the whole thing. ;0)
I probably have lots of ancestors are illegitimate, so?
If it was not someone stupid, it was someone malicious attempting to cause trouble for the Church

Um...that is nigh near impossible anymore with the new temple recommends (with barcodes and magnetic strip). The ordinances were DONE. Doesn’t anyone bother to check?
A bucnh of holy rollers make up some mumbo jumbo and we are all supposed to be upset about it?
Read your bible, do good things, help others, accept God into your heart...
Helping these people to understand the idiocy of this would fall under the category of helping others. Other than that- at least they are not blowing up non-believers to make their point
- - - -
Ummm...the LDS are not ‘holy rollers’. The LDS temple rituals are actually a ripoff of Masonic rites.
Furthermore: Read your bible, do good things, help others, accept God into your heart..doesn’t get you saved. Acceptance of Christ alone as Savior and His sacrifice on the cross is what gets you saved. Bible reading, good works etc, follow AFTER salvation. The LDS does not teach that, they teach that works, plus temple rites are required for real salvation (not just resurrection). FWIW, I used to be Mormon and have been a Christian for over 15 years now.
And helping the LDS understand the idiocy of their religion, and how it is damning them doesn’t fall under helping others, it falls under witnessing and that is what us ‘flying inmans’ do here on the RF.
lds “holy rollers”........really a laugh out loud moment.
Defame, malign and slander our savior and we get all out of sorts.
- - - -
And the fact that the LDS DON’T but DO get ‘all out of sorts’ if you defame their ‘CHURCH’, speaks VOLUMES about where their faith REALLY lies - in the ‘church’ not Christ.
Give them time.
It is not impossible. To my knowledge, you don’t need a temple recommend to submit names for ordinances. And, even if you did, malicious people have lied to get temple recommends before, and have gone into the temple with the express purpose of hurting the Church. Surely, you are aware of those instances.
I didn’t read the article. But the article, itself, acknowledges that the Church would not do this. FTA:
It appears the submissions for “Jesus Christian,” and “Jesus Cristian” were attempts to manipulate the identity of Jesus Christ through the LDS temple system. The misspelled “Cristian,” instead of “Christian,” could have been a typo, or a deliberate error. It may have been intentionally entered as “Cristian” to get around a computer program that automatically blocks submissions that contain the names “Jesus Christ.” That would explain why the entry for “Jesus Christian” shows LDS ordinances as “Not available.”
This, also, suggests that someone was acting maliciously.

Oh but sweety
Doing the “temple work” for the unsaved is a kindness...
Dead dunking and marrying guys to women is considered a necessary thing to do so the guy can become a “god” and go to the mormon afterlife ???
Would you really want the morm on jesus to miss out ???
after all only a mormon could have done it...
non-mormons dont have the access to the fool pool...
and Christians wouldnt do anything so blasphemous...
those anti-Christians, the mormons can get real malicious...
;)
The church may not have, but they did accept the records. Is there not some type of vetting process that would have prevented said “idiot” from being able to do this?
This also speaks to the mindset that many mormons have regarding the need to show that Jesus needed to be married and sealed to a wife so that the LdS doctrine of achieving celestial exaltation/godhood can be achieved and justified.
The dig was against your leaders and prophets.
