I posted this thread this morning:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=21202

If it had been criticizing Joseph Smith, I'm pretty sure Simon, Stem or WhyMe would have responded.

Simon, you can also be counted upon to defend JSJr if there is even the slightest sleight against him.

But when Jesus is the topic, I don't see either of you regularly run to his defense when he is assailed on MDB.

I see others, like Hoops, Nightlion and Ceeboo, for examples, each in his own way, quickly come to defend Jesus. But not either of you.

Is there something I am missing?


Yes. What you're missing is that this is Mormon Discussions, and people tend to discuss things uniquely Mormon.

There is only one Jesus. All of Christianity worships Him.

And I believe I said uniquely Mormon.

I would not respond to such a stupid thread as that. First off it is not even your own genuine idea. You cut and pasted it from JerksRus.

You take away from Christ all divinity and purpose and say look at what some guy named Jesus said about families. Stupid.

Okay, so I could not resist. happy now?

Why did President Hinckley say Mormons don't believe in the Jesus of the Bible?
An amazing new deception among anti-Mormons who really must know better is corrupting the words of President Gordon B. Hinckley, arguing that he said we don't believe in the Jesus of the Bible. Ah! An admission that we aren't Christian. What more proof is needed? Here's a passage giving President Hinckley's words from his famous interview with Larry King:

"In bearing testimony of Jesus Christ, President Hinckley spoke of those outside the Church who say Latter-day Saints 'do not believe in the traditional Christ.' 'No, I don't. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak. For the Christ of whom I speak has been revealed in this the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times. He together with His Father, appeared to the boy Joseph Smith in the year 1820, and when Joseph left the grove that day, he knew more of the nature of God than all the learned ministers of the gospel of the ages.'" (LDS Church News Week ending June 20, 1998, p.7 )

You said that he denied believing in the Christ of the Bible. What President Hinckley is saying is well known to LDS people: we don't believe in the kind of Christ taught by modern tradition, the Christ of the Nicene Creed and other traditional expressions of belief devised long after the Bible.

(from http://www.jefflindsay.com/LDSFAQ/FQ_Ch ... l#Hinckley - that damned anti-mormon Jeff Lindsay...)

Okay. Do you believe Mormonism is the only religion to correctly and fully comprehend Jesus' Gospel?
