==Pregunta: ¿Los Santos de los Últimos Días creen en un Jesús "diferente" que en los cristianos "corrientes"?==

==="Mormon Beliefs About Jesus" versus "Christian Beliefs About Jesus": Mormons worship the Jesus Christ of the Bible===

It would be enlightening for any Latter-day Saint to read this description of the "Mormon Jesus" in the left column and see just how much of this is recognizable as church doctrine. The list is taken from page ''One Nation Under Gods'', p. 378 (PB). This claim is repeated in the author's later work [[Becoming Gods#The "Mormon Jesus" versus the "Traditional Jesus"|''Becoming Gods''&mdash;The "Mormon Jesus" versus the "Traditional Jesus"]].

|A ''literal'' son (spirit-child) of a god (Elohim) and his wife.||
*Latter-day Saints believe that ''everyone'' is a spirit child of Heavenly Father, including Jesus. What is a spirit child?  We don't have the details.  
*Our eternal nature was organized into a spirit person, whatever that is.  We don't know the details.  We don't know the process by which we became a spirit person. 
*The difference between us is that Jesus is divine, while the rest of us are not. 
*Why the emphasis on the word "literal"? Apparently, to once again call attention to the subject of [["Celestial sex"|"Celestial Sex."]]

|-
|The elder brother of all spirits born in the pre-existence to Heavenly Father.||
*Latter-day Saints do not claim to know by what method a spirit is "born." 
*Christ is the "eldest," but what this means is also not clear.  Is it a question of temporality?  (i.e., He came first in time)  Is it a rank?  Does it describe His relationship to us?  We simply don't claim to know, since time is only measured unto man. 
*Latter-day Saints do believe that Christ was ''not'' created ex nihilo at some moment; He is eternally self-existent.

|-
|A polygamous Jewish male.
||
*This is not a belief among Latter-day Saints, and is based entirely upon non-doctrinal statements made by Orson Hyde and Orson Pratt.
*It is surprising that this claim is still in the paperback edition of [[One Nation Under Gods|''One Nation Under Gods'']]. It was, however, removed from [[Becoming Gods|''Becoming Gods'']].

|-
|One of three gods overseeing this planet.||
*There is only one God. Christ is one of three divine beings in the Godhead. They are one in purpose, not one in person. {{b||John|17|3}}, {{b||John|17|20-22}} 
*Regardless of this, a creedal Christian ought not to have a problem with one God consisting of more than one Person.

|-
|Atoned only for Adam's transgression by sweating blood in Gethsemane.
||
*This statement is completely false. 
*The Book of Mormon teaches that Christ's sacrifice was "infinite and eternal." (2 Nephi) It could not be exceeded in any sense.  Christ suffered for the sins, griefs, and pains of all humanity (Alma 7), whether or not they repent. 
*The benefits of that atonement are restricted if we refuse to do that which He asks of us to accept it (i.e. have faith, repent, be baptized, receive the Holy Ghost, and endure to the end.)
*Note that this statement was changed in [[Becoming Gods#The "Mormon Jesus" versus the "Traditional Jesus"|''Becoming Gods''&mdash;The "Mormon Jesus" versus the "Traditional Jesus"]] to "Atoned only for Adam's transgression, thereby providing the opportunity for us to obtain "eternal life" by our own efforts. The change, however, didn't really do anything to correct this falsehood.

|The ''literal'' spirit brother of Lucifer.||
*Again, note the emphasis on the word "literal." Latter-day Saints do ''not'' consider Jesus in any way to be Satan's "peer." 
||
*[[Jesus Christ is the brother of Satan]]
|-
|Jesus' sacrificial death is not able to cleanse some people of ''all'' their sins.||
*Latter-day Saints believe that only those who ''reject the atonement'' cannot be cleansed from all their sins. If one doesn't accept the atonement, then the atonement can't save him or her.  But, that is a reflection on the sinner, and does ''not'' imply that Christ's atonement was "not able" to cleanse our sins. 
*This is probably alluding to [[Blood atonement|blood atonement]]. 
*Jesus Christ Himself taught that blasphemy against the Holy Ghost was an "unforgivable sin." {{b||Matthew|12|31-32}}
||
*[[Unforgivable sin]]
|-
|There is no salvation without accepting Joseph Smith as a prophet of God.||
*Latter-day Saints believe that there is no salvation without accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior and Redeemer. Salvation is obtained by receiving Jesus and his atoning sacrifice. The statement presented in the book is nonsense.  All save the sons of perdition are saved.  All will be resurrected. 
*A fullness of salvation requires accepting the words of ALL the prophets--including those who wrote the Bible, and including Joseph Smith. 
*If one believes that you have to accept the Bible witness to be saved, then how can one fault Latter-day Saints for believing that another prophet's witness must also be accepted? LDS doctrine saves infidels and non-Christians in a resurrection of glory, and provides for their evangelization after death.
