Jesus Christ who appeared to Joseph Smith is the very same as we read about in the New Testament.

The entity who appeared to Joseph Smith was and is not the Christ of the new testament but an impostor....Joseph Smith was well known to be involved with occult practices, a historical fact, and for doing so left himself wide open to demonic imposter's, influences and deceptions. Even his own family called him looney.....as well as some of his followers called him out on his practices.

Joseph Smiths writing's have been proved false, misleading and deceptive ever since he began... directly oppossing Christianity...as is also known and documented. These facts have been posted many times and yet not one Mormon has been able to debunk these facts.

Almost all Christian Churches do not include Mormonism as Christian....nor will they anytime soon, though the Mormon organization is trying very hard to turn it's membership toward inclusion with Christianity...and they are carrying that tune to any who will hear. But of course most Mormons are tired of being excluded and will say and do anything it's leadership dictates to have that inclusion. We see this playing out on these threads by the 'seasoned' Mormons carrying that banner....but it is not the banner of Jesus Christ they bare.....it is the counterfeit, impostor Christ.

We believe that Jesus Christ who appeared to Joseph Smith is the very same as we read about in the New Testament.

I see you are avoiding the lds leader issue - are you retracting that claim?

. . who appeared to Joseph Smith . . .

Norm, the definition is defined by smith - yes or no.
Secondly norm, which version of this account should we believe? There are nine authored by smith. In only two of the nine accounts is Jesus specifically identified. In the others an angel, angels, spirits or unidentified beings are reported by smith.

But lets look deeper. Show me where in the NT Jesus is described as being a product of heavenly father and one of his wives?
Please show me where in the NT where it states that Jesus is the brother of all spirits born in premortal kolob or whereever.
Please show me where in the NT Jesus has to attain His Godhood.

Honestly answer these and you will see that the mormon Jesus is not that described in the NT.
