Jesus Christ/The "Mormon" vs. the "Christian" Jesus
The "Mormon" and the "Christian" Jesus
Traditional Christianity believes in the Trinity, that the Father, Jesus and Holy Ghost are three persons, but are one in substance. This is regarded as incomprehensible. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe the Father, Jesus and the Holy Ghost are three separate and unique beings, one in purpose, and comprehensible.
Like Traditional Christianity, we believe Jesus is God, the Savior, our Redeemer, and atoned for our sins. We believe that Jesus created our world.
We believe Jesus is the Son of God, both His body and His spirit. We believe all spirits are children of God the Father, including Jesus. Traditional Christianity believes Jesus has been God eternally, and accuses us of not believing that, that perhaps there was a time when Jesus was not God in our belief. We also believe Jesus is the "Eternal God", but have no information concerning the timing in the eternities. We believe Jesus was resurrected with a body, and now has a body.
