scvw directly quoted the Mormon Articles of Faith, so how is that a misunderstanding?

Because scvw quotes them, but then goes on the "explain" them to say things that they definitely do not say. That is what is called a misunderstanding.

The Mormon Jesus and the Biblical Jesus can be easily contrasted as follows:
1. Mormon Jesus is not the only god - Biblical Jesus is the only God and part of the Triune Godhead.
2. Mormon Jesus was not always a god - Biblical Jesus is and was always God
3. Mormon Jesus is the spirit brother of Lucifer - Biblical Jesus is the Creator and created everything including Lucifer
4. Mormon Jesus saves upon faith and obdeience to laws and ordinances - Biblical Jesus saves upon faith through grace and not of works

Huh? Show me where after I quoted an lds statement where I explained the statement. I think the statements stand on their own.
Oh, yea. No explanation needed of, lds leaders stating that Mary did have physical sex with the lds god , their statements stand on their own.

Oh?

Then it is up to YOU (since you called out these 'errors') to actually state what the plain English DOES really mean.

SVCW’s analysis of LDS AoF is absolutely in line with LDS teaching and belief. It was what I was taught and believed as Mormon and several others here will admit to it as well.

We “Flying Inmans” are well versed in LDS history and theology so the question becomes...do you have no idea what your church teaches or are you just ‘lying for the Lord’?

LDS Jesus had to earn his Godhood.

LDS God was once a man (and a sinner)

LDS ‘salvation’ (exaltation) is based upon works (being worthy member, callings, temple ordinances, tithing, baptism, etc). Christian salvation is based upon grace through faith in Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.

LDS teach we can become Gods ourselves.

LDS teach that God had sex with Mary

LDS teach that the Bible is corrupt.

LDS believe in a different Christ than Christians (according to Gordon B. Hinkley)

You can keep going all you want, we can source all of that from LDS sources. However, if you really have no idea what the LDS church teaches or its history, than stick around - you will learn and perhaps join other freepers who have found the true Christ of the Bible and left Mormonism because of these threads.
