Criticism
Many of the Church's critics like to claim that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not Christian. This criticism, or exclusion, takes many forms. These include:
- Mormons worship a different Christ than the Christ of the Bible
Source(s) of the Criticism
- ...Jesus Christ, no doubt, plays a central role in Mormon theology. ...the reality is that Mormons believe in a Jesus vastly different than the Jesus of the Bible.
Response
While acknowledging that Jesus Christ plays a central role in LDS theology, this is downplayed by the insistence that "our" Jesus is not the same as the Jesus found in the Bible.
Conclusion
A summary of the argument against the criticism.
