But also yes.... we believe in a different Christ. We believe in the biblical Jesus Christ who is the Son of Almighty God the Father. We do not believe that Jesus Christ is an equal member of a three-way multiple personality diety.

Then you are violating the first commandment.

That first commandment is this: Exodus 20:2-3 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. “You shall have no other gods before me.

If you consider Jesus another separate god, then you are putting another god before God the Father. And you are worshiping another god besides the creator God.

That then, becomes idolatry.

However, if Jesus is indeed God, as Scripture teaches, then there's no problem.

Additional error of Mormonism. This is what happens when you start going beyond Scripture as Mormonism and other denominations do.

As to whether we worship a “different Jesus,” we say again: We accept and endorse the testimony of the New Testament writers. Jesus is the promised Messiah, the resurrection and the life (John 11:25), literally the light of the world (John 8:12). Everything that testifies of His divine birth, His goodness, His transforming power and His godhood, we embrace enthusiastically. But we also rejoice in the additional knowledge latter-day prophets have provided about our Lord and Savior. President Brigham Young thus declared that

we, the Latter-day Saints, take the liberty of believing more than our Christian brethren: we not only believe ... the Bible, but ... the whole of the plan of salvation that Jesus has given to us. Do we differ from others who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ? No, only in believing more.[x]
