I'm a mormon and you are ridiculous. Jesus Christ is not a god. He is God's son. I don't know what else you think but I doubt that most of it is true.

The idea that Mormons aren't Christians is not a myth. It's an easy to verify matter of fact. The fact that Mormons worship a god whom they call Jesus Christ does not prove that they are worshiping the genuine Christ of Christianity. The New Testament warns us that there will be many false prophets and many false Christs. The easy way to test the "Christ" of Mormonism is to ask a few simple details about him. The Jesus Christ of Christianity and the Bible created everything in heaven and earth which includes the angels. The "Christ" of Mormonism is the product of that creation and a mere brother of Lucifer, or Satan, who is a fallen angel. He also created mankind, of course. But to Mormons he is merely our elder brother, having been procreated by their god. Their "God the Father" was once a man like us and he has a father (Gospel Principles, p.305, 1997; p.279, 2009) unlike the God of the Bible who has always been God (Psalm 90:2; Deuteronomy 33:27). He is one of many Gods (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.370; Search These Commandments (a priesthood study guide), p.152-153,1985), whereas the God of the Bible is the only God who has ever or will ever exist (Isaiah 43:10). He has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s (Doctrine and Covenants 130:22). But the God of the Bible is a spirit. A spirit does not have flesh and bones (John 4:24, Col 1:15, Luke 24:39). These are not trivial matters. The Bible says that to know God is eternal life (John 17:3). For a religion to use the same words as Christians so that others will think that they have the same beliefs and then redefine the very nature of God is blasphemy. Those who are genuinely interested in the truth should go to utlm.org or WhatMormonsDontTell.com and do a bit of checking into the actual beliefs of Mormonism from their own teaching manuals and "scriptures".
