Is Jesus Mormon? Did He say to believe in me and become a Mormon?

Question

Where Mormon came from? What is the difference between a Mormon and a Muslim?

Answer 1

First question: Jesus was a Jew. He did not advocate any particular branch of Christianity, because at the time, there weren't branches.
Second question: The difference between a Mormon and a Muslim is HUGE! Muslims believe in Allah and follow the prophet Mohommad, and have other beliefs that build on Judaism and Christianity. Islam started in the Middle East. Mormonism began in America, and is based both on the Christian Bible and the Book of Mormon.

Answer 2

Your questions seem to stem from a misunderstanding of the term Mormon. Mormons are Christians. "Mormon" is a term applied to Christians who accept the Book of Mormon as scripture. The Book of Mormon was largely written, or compiled by a prophet named Mormon who lived in the Western Hemisphere a few centuries after the time of Christ. The Book of Mormon speaks of God's dealings with the people of the Americas over a thousand year period.

Would it be correct to call Jesus a Mormon? Technically, no, but maybe theologically. Mormons (or Latter-day Saints, to be more accurate), believe in Jesus and believe that they follow his teachings in their purest, most original form. So, while Jesus never said that we should become "Mormons", he also never said that we should become Catholics or Baptists or Christians, for that matter. He said that we should follow him, and that is what Mormons do.

What is the difference between a Mormon and a Muslim? Well, Mormons don't really have much more in common with Muslims than do any other Christians or Jews. Besides the fact that Muslims worship God (Allah is just the Arabic word for God), the only other real similarity is that we both believe that God has called prophets after the time of Jesus.

Answer 3

No, Jesus was born a Jew. Mormons and every other domination of Christianity believe in Jesus. If you believe in Jesus, you're a Christian. All Christians, not just Mormons believe in Jesus. Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet, but not the real son of God or Messiah.

Answer 4

First question: Christ established his church upon the earth. Mormons believe that the church that Christ established eventually disappeared from the earth as men became wicked, lost the priesthood, changed the doctrines, and used it for selfish methods.

Joseph Smith was asked by Christ himself to restore his church to the earth. This church was called "The Church of Jesus Christ" Just like the original one ....."of Latter-Day Saints" to distinguish it from Christs church from the earlier time period. Mormon is a nickname for members of this Church. So...

Christ was a member of "The Church of Jesus Christ"
Mormons are also members of "The Church of Jesus Christ"

Read the Joseph Smith story (Link below) to get a general understanding of the begining of Mormonism.

Mormons are Christians. They have a lot in common with what most people believe as Christians. In addition they believe that Christ visited the Americas after his resurrection, chose prophets, and those prophets wrote their words in what is now known as "The Book of Mormon". They believe that this and the bible are both the word of God.

Muslims believe that Christ was a prophet and not the son of god. That he was a good man, but not perfect, and that he didn't die for the sins of the world. Muslims believe in Allah as a prophet and in a book called the Koran.

There are more differences, but there are radical differences between Mormons and Muslims.

Answer 5

No Jesus isn't a Mormon, no, He did not say believe in me and become a Mormon.
Mormons are the people who belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. They follow a religion founded by Joseph Smith
Mormons believe Joseph Smith to be prophet and there is a continual line of Prophets leading their church (they are called Presidents) The believe the Book of Mormon to be another testament of Christ. They believe Jesus to be divine, but not God. (more than a man, but not God in the flesh) and they believe in the Godhead. They believe Jesus died and rose again.
They believe the covenant comes through Isaac.

Muslims believe Mohamed is prophet, they follow the teachings of the Koran and they believe the covenant comes through Ishmael. Muslims believe Jesus was just a man, and a prophet - not divine and did not die on the cross.

There is much more and I hope I haven't misspoken - if I did, I am sure I willl be corrected (and please do correct me)

Answer 6

Weird question. No, Jesus is not mormon. No, Jesus did not say to become a mormon. Where are these questions coming from? Mormonism came from a guy named Joseph Smith.

Answer 7

Jesus was not a Mormon. the cult just uses his name to get Christians to join. It makes people think that they are teaching the truth but change things and make lies the more you look in on the religion

Answer 8

Jesus was a Jew. Mormon was a prophet of Jesus. Mormons are Christians, Moslems are not.

Answer 9

Mormons came from a man named Joseph Smith who founded their church. Mormons believe in Christ while Muslims do not.

Answer 10

Do not make me call you names. Read John 6:60-70. This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it? Jesus was aware of his disciples grumbling about this,and said "Does this offend you?' The word of God is spirit and life.The flesh accounts for nothing.That is why the word tells you that no one comes to Jesus unless the Father has enabled him.To whom can a Christian go? The word of God has the words of eternal life! We believe and know that Jesus is the Holy One Of God!!!!
