From the LDS website:

The Church's first article of faith states, "We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost." These three beings make up the Godhead. They preside over this world and all other creations of our Father in Heaven.

I realize Jesus in the LDS is a progressed being but none the less, he is in the godhead. I realize the christian godhead is constructed differently. The point is, both LDS and Christianity have Jesus in the godhead and by definition humanity in the godhead. Jesus is a hypostatic union that is 100%god and 100%man. Jesus' humanity, according to Christianity, did not cease to exist. There for both Mormonism and Christianity have a human being in the godhead. That of course from the Jewish perspective is heresy.
