Creedal Christians in effect say the LDS make "too much of Jesus Christ"
Creedal Christians in effect say the LDS make "too much of Jesus Christ"
Non-LDS Christian Stephen H. Webb wrote:[1]
Christ has never been logos asarkos (the Word without form or the divine voice without body). If this is theological error, it is on the side of excess rather than deficiency, resulting in an immoderate Christology born out of a surplus rather than an insufficiency of faith. It puts creedal Christians in the odd position of saying that Mormons make too much of Jesus
Christ. Is such excess really a vice? [2]:89
