The Church teaches that all of are eternal, svcw, including Jesus Christ.

But you are more interested in using such teachings to distract from the principle teaching of the Church that Jesus Christ, born of Mary...the only one in existance that meets the definition...saves through His atonement.

The rest is simplle interperretation and we have been around this block many times.

If that Christ, (and He is the only one) who lived over 2000 years ago, saves through His miraculous Atonement, then those details matter not a whit. If you put your faith and trust in Him, then He saves you...and that is the essentail doctrine.

And that is why I testify of it and teach of it because it is what saves and the rest is noce to know and helps one understand Go’s will for them int heir particular life’s perhaps, but does not save them, indeed cannot save them.

You can try and distract and detract, and put up all kinds of smoke screens to try and keep people from knowing this critical point about what the LDS church teaches.

Again, IMHO, such attempts are like field mice scurrying around at the feet of hunters out after Elk. The Elk hunt is the prize and what those field mice do as you pass is of little consequence, unless you allow one to trip you and become distracted from the hunt.

So...I will remain focused on Christ Jesus and His salvation and feel no need or desie to answer the questions you toss around in an attempt to muddle the message...and make no mistake, that is what you would like to do IMHO.

Jesus Christ is God’s Son and atoned for all mankind...in the end, that is all that matters and everything...everything flows out of that. That other question is interesting, but it is not salvation.

If you want to know more about the details...have a couple of LDS missionares over to your house and go through all of the lessons with them.

Have a great Sunday.

Missionaries - really?
My experiences with momonism goes back to 1962. I have a huge mormon family.
Thanks for being honest, that lds teaches we are all eternal IE gods in our own right.
There rest of your post implies that (lds) jesus is no different than any of us, that he was able to attain some exalted state to atone, because he is not sufficient must work along with us to earn salvation.
Got it.

This should help:

Gordon Hinckley answered the question regarding the mormon Jesus:

“I know that Jesus is the Christ. He was the great instrument in the hands of God to create the earth. The Gospel of John says that nothing was made that was not made by Him [see John 1:3]. He was the Creator. He was the Jehovah of the Old Testament. He was the Christ child, who came and was born under humble circumstances. He was the Messiah, who walked a lonely road to His foreordained mission, healing the sick and raising the dead. He was the great Redeemer of the world, who died on Calvary’s hill and was resurrected the third day, ‘the firstfruits of them that slept’ (1 Corinthians 15:20). He it was who visited the Nephites on the American continent and taught them as He had taught in the Holy Land. And He it was who, with His Father, visited the boy Joseph and spoke to him concerning the Restoration of this work.

From LDS.org

Another lie by a mormon leader.
