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.

Oprah would be proud.
Did I?
;-)
LOL. Yes, I suppose I did.
“Are you still a Romney supporter...”
I don’t know. I haven’t ruled him out, but I haven’t given any more money to his PAC. And, most of the Utah Republicans who were delegates to the Utah convention weren’t impressed by Romney’s support of Bennett. I donated to one of Bennett’s opponents, Mike Lee. But I could be just as happy with Tim Bridgewater.
I’m waiting to see who is running, and who is the most conservative person who can win. Romney’s greatest appeal at the moment is that he would have credibility on the economy. But Chris Christie is looking really good to me at the moment. I have decided he is the sexiest fat man in America.
“So you will continue to use, but not donate to, FR until OUR right to free speech is surpressed?”
Your “right of free speech” operates only against the government. It is inapplicable on a private website. You have whatever level of free speech the owner sees fit to grant you.
Reliable conservatives buried Mitt two years ago. When Obamacare passed and Mitt was still out there defending his plan, reliable conservatives dug up the grave and hammered the casket shut with another row of nails to further the point.
You are still on the fence.
See where the issue is in your appeal?
I have come to consider it evil for several reasons...
first, Smith’s first vision claims that he saw two being of light who do not say who they are (he assumes who they are). The Bible tells us that Satan can appear as an ‘angel of light’.
Secondly, one of the other visitations Smith claimed was a visit from Satan (much later).
Third, the LDS church distorts the Bible, throws out the Good News that Jesus came to save us by Grace not works, and brings God down to our level and exalts man to the level of God (doctrine of exaltation). That is evil.
Finally, I was a very vocal skeptic about ‘spiritual warfare’ until some experiences I had a few years ago that opened my eyes. Since then, I have seen the real spiritual battle going on in bringing those trapped in Mormonism out into Christianity. That has convinced me, more than anything, that Mormonism’s roots are demonic.
You mentioned:” History shows a significant number of Christians who DID believe in the same doctrine as I do” and I have to ask, what do you believe?
Also you said you were baptized and confirmed, in what religion? the LDS? If so, why?
Christianity isn’t about ‘religion’, it is about a very real, very personal relationship with Jesus Christ and acceptance of His gift of salvation to you.
If you would feel more comfortable, you can freepmail me instead of posting on thread. I am more than happy to discuss theology, mormonism, my faith, whatever.
If Mitt is the most conservative candidate who can win in the general election, I will support him. Otherwise, I will not.
Strike two for you then...
MITT IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM!!!!
BAM!!!
Romneycare!
POW!!!
Gay Marriage!
WHAM!!!
Pro Choice laws!
All the while Mitt going “well I did what I could...”
Better the enemy get me from the front than stab me in the back. At least with the former I have a fighting chance.
What purpose is served by constantly picking at scabs?
=- - - - - - - -
Christ is not a ‘scab’.
The purpose (at least for me) is to warn others about Mormonism so they don’t fall for it like I did and to show those trapped in that cult the errors and lies it tells its membership.
Some of us can multi-task. I do not bleive in ‘unity above all’. My allegiance is to Christ FIRST, then my country.
Also, it is interesting to note that the LDS always start in on this defense of ‘we have to unite’ and ‘religous debate divides’, yet they still send out all those missionaries to go door to door to tell us that THEY are the ONLY true church?
How is that ‘uniting’? Personally, LL, I would rather see you and I disagree on politics and see you in heaven then let you waltz into hell without a fight. I am fighting FOR you, not against you.
Ah...bait and switch. Gee, I wonder where Romney learned THAT tactic?
Curious Minds want to know...
You’ll be SORRY!
I’ve been mumbling, “Chim chang jimmy jam” for the last few days!
And they are SO dumb, they CONTINUE to go for the HOOK!
Knock knock...
Any body HOME??
You DID, perhaps, notice the TITLE of the thread you are commenting in?
And you STILL wish to talk INSULTS?
HA ha hardee har har!
FREE speech for ME; but not for THEE?
Lawyer Lady; you are a TRIP!
