How is your Christ different from my Christ???

Question

I am LDS I have taught the New Testament King James Version. Yet some of you say I am not a Christian. My Christ Was born of Mary, Born in Jerusalem, raised up in Nazareth, impressed High Priests when 12, John 1:1--- says he created the world, Is a God, and was with God, Crucifed. Taught the spirits in prison, resurrected, my personal saviour and redeemer. Will come forth in the Millenium to rule for 1000 years, can forgive my sins. Gave me all the rules to live by. Preexisted with the father, Lucifer and Michael the archangel, How is your Christ different?

Answer 1

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) is a beautiful Christian religion. We believe in the same Christ as other Christians. Because Mormons believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ and consider Him to be the way to salvation, they are clearly a Christian denomination. It is true that they are not an orthodox denomination (they are neither Protestant, Catholic, nor Eastern Orthodox), because they don't accept the post-New Testament creeds, but their Christ-centered theology clearly qualifies them for the Christian label.

Most objective scholars agree that Mormons are Christian. Consider this quote from an academic book entitled “Anthology of World Scriptures” by Robert E. Van Voorst.

“…the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints…see themselves as Christian, and most experts in comparative religions would view this labeling as basically correct. That they…accept the Christian Bible as their first cannon is a good indicator of this. Moreover, “outsiders” to [Christianity], such as Buddhists, would almost certainly recognize them as belonging to the stream of Christian tradition.”

Likewise, a recent poll showed that the majority of Americans believe that Mormons are Christians.

You should be extremely careful when trying to learn about Mormons from others. There are many who hate the Mormons and spread lies, distortions, and conspiracy theories about them. Others think they understand Mormon doctrine because of "what they've heard," but are actually misinformed.

Because Mormons are Christian, we believe in most of the things that Christians believe, including:

1) Christ is divine and salvation comes only through Him.
2) The Bible is the word of God.
3) Men ought to love one another.

Mormons are a unique branch of Christianity, however. We are neither Catholic nor Protestant, so naturally we have some different beliefs. Most of the differences are minor. One significant difference has to do with the authority to act in God's name. Mormons believe that soon after the death of Christ and His apostles, the early Christian Church was greatly influenced by Greek and Roman philosophies and political pressures. Despite the efforts of many good men and women, the true Church of Christ was eventually lost because of these outside pressures and internal, man-made changes. Mormons believe that God reestablished the original Church of Christ in 1820 through a man named Joseph Smith.

P.S. I'm sure you knew this, but Christ was actually born in Bethlehem, not Jerusalem. :)

Answer 3

Actually, Christ is a title. The word Christ comes from the greek Christos and is the same as the Hebrew Messiah.

Yeshua was a man who my tradition believes became the Christ. Christ means annointed. Yeshua was annointed with the Holy Spirit and embodied the Christos.

Answer 4

<<<<<<< Is a God>>>>>>>>>
I don't know what all Mormons believe, but Jesus is not a god, he is THE God.

The Mighty God, the everlasting Father, became a baby boy and sacrificed that human life for us.

Isaiah 9
6For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

7Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

It was THE Lord of glory who was nailed to the cross, not one of the lords of glory.

I Corinthians 2
7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

8Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

God took on humanity to become the Christ (the promised man who would bring salvation) but did not cease being God when he did so.

Luke 2
It was Christ the LORD (which means God) who was laid in a manger
9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

I've always wondered the same thing. I can see the few differences of interpretation, but really, we all believe He is our Saviour so it's the same thing isn't it?

Answer 6

My Christ is kind of a rebel hippy - but I think that is soley me. People always are trying to say what Christ thinks and never look at what he actually did. Ignore people who try to tell you about their knowingness being more than yours.
