The “Christ” of Mormonism
The Mormon view of Jesus Christ is wildly at variance with the Scriptures.
- Mormonism denies the biblical doctrine of the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. This movement teaches that Adam-God had sexual intercourse with Mary, and as a result Jesus was conceived. Mormon apostle and theologian Orson Pratt alleged that “the virgin Mary must have been for the time being, the lawful wife of God the Father . . .” (The Seer, 158-59).
- Incredibly, Mormonism teaches that Jesus and the devil were once brothers. In a speech, delivered in the Mormon Tabernacle at Salt Lake, “Elder” Andrew Jenson declared:
“Thus we see that Lucifer, the son of the morning, is our elder brother and the brother of Jesus Christ, but he rebelled against God and was cast down from heaven with his angels” (The Deseret News, January 21, 1928).Nothing remotely akin to this is found in the Bible.
- Mormonism contends that Jesus Christ was a polygamist. Brigham Young asserted:
“Jesus Christ was a polygamist; Mary and Martha, the sisters of Lazarus, were his plural wives, and Mary Magdalene was another” (quoted by Ann Eliza Young,Wife No. 19, Chapter XXXV).This is the stuff of fantasy, not Scripture, but it is the concept of Jesus held by Mormons. So when you next hear Mitt Romney say that he is a Christian, remember what kind of "Christ" he believes in--a polygamous brother of Lucifer and the product of physical sexual intercourse between God and Mary. That is Mitt's Jesus. How does he match up with yours?.
