HANK HANEGRAAF:
Kind of interesting that many people within Evangelicalism are saying that the divide between Mormonism and Christianity is not as wide as we once thought it was. That we in fact worship the same Jesus and the same God.
RICHARD ABANES:
Well we absolutely don’t and maybe that may sound intolerant of me but it’s really not it’s just honest of me I mean you can’t look at one church and say they’re the same as another church if one of the churches believes Jesus was the spirit brother of Lucifer and conceived through celestial sexual intercourse between Heavenly Father and the virgin Mary and another church that believes completely different.
The Truth about the LDS Perspective of God, the Father and Jesus Christ:
- Critics assert that there is a”Mormon” vs. a “Christian” Jesus—Latter-day Saints believe that Jesus Christ is the only path to salvation, and that He died for our sins, yet Evangelical critics claim that Latter-day Saints believe in a “different” Jesus than “mainstream” Christians. (Link)
- Have Mormons claimed only recently to be Christians?—Early members of the Church and their enemies have long referred to them as Christians. The recent efforts of some extremist Protestants to deny Mormon’s status as Christians cannot alter these facts. (Link)
- LDS versus Evangelical Christian view of the atonement of Jesus Christ—Critics compare what they state are the four positions of the LDS church, which by their definition must be false. (Link)
