So the traditional Christ was Jewish?
Jesus thought he was Jewish but Amore has a second or third century imaginary Jesus who is not so sure what he is doing.

Paul never taught we needed a temple, he said the opposite
Justice = Getting what you deserve Mercy = Not getting what you deserve Grace = Getting what you can never deserve

One huge difference is that Mormons teach that God only has a limited and conditional love. Pay up and obey the LDS leaders and God will find you worthy of his love as part of a contractual obligation.

Christianity is so missing the mark about Christ - not just Mormonism. Human sacrifice is evil. Scapegoating - shifting the blame to make another pay is a definition of evil. The Catholic Church/theocracy bent, twisted and warped “canon” to suit their own goals.
