I spell that wrong it is

divine investiture of authority

giving authority to speak for another.

as far the being called Christian you can murmur until the cows come home but it still means one who follows Jesus Christ which the LDS do!

You're so funny :-)

OK, I'll play for another minute. Let's go with the "divine investiture of authority" thingy. Who is the one who has the power to invest this prince with the authoprity of his father the king (and his mother the queen).

Then by your definition am I a Christian? I claim to follow Jesus.

Perhaps you missed my response, so here are the comments questions again.

Resty, do you realize that what you offered is self-contradictory, and contraqdicts what the King James Bible teaches?

Aside from the notion implied that there was a goddess who mated with 'a god', to sire the offspring jesus of Mormonism and all other spirit beings, if, as your post implies, jesus came into existence with the union of the goddess and god, then there was a where/when that the jesus you speak/write of was not in existence, even as a spirit being.

Since Mormonism teaches that god the father was once a man and 'gained' godhood attributes, your assertion would be consistent with the duplicity of Mormonism teaching, but not with what the Bible teaches regarding 'In the Beginning' and what John 1:1-5 teaches.

Not even the Joseph Smith translation of the King James Bible can rectify this difference in Smith's teaching and the King James Bible assertions.

Which is then the truth about Jesus? ... Is Jesus The Word Who was God in the beginning and without Whom nothing was made that was made, OR is jesus a created being, the product of a union between a god and goddess who once were not gods either and gained the attributes of godhood?
