| ==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_different_Jesus |worship a different Christ]] than the Christ of the Bible'''
| |
| | |
| ===Source(s) of the Criticism===
| |
| *Hank Hanegraaff, [[CRI]], MORMONS — CAN THEY BE CONSIDERED CHRISTIANS?[http://www.equip.org/free/CP0300.htm *]
| |
| | |
| :...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==
