With paerry's permission, I would appreciate it if you would
list the characteristics descriptive of Jesus in Mormon scripture --
not including the KJ Mormon bible. Just your scriptures.
Speak as a Mormon, please and not with merely personal conviction.
Thanks,

Blainerb: Listing all His characteristics as indicated in
"Mormon" scriptures would be difficult, time-wise at least. But will defer
to your request as much as I have time to do so . . . The following are from the
Doctrine and Covenants--they are either his words directly, or spoken under the
influence of his Holy Spirit.
I will try to go to the Book of Mormon tomorrow, or as soon as I
find time.
He is the only Savior of
Mankind:
"Hear, oh ye heavens, and give ear, oh earth, and rejoice ye inhabitants
thereof, for the Lord is God, and besides him, there is no Savior."
"I am Alpha and Omega, Christ the Lord; yea, even I am he, the beginning
and the end, the Redeemer of the world."
Heis themost wise:
"Great is his wisdom, marvelous are his ways, and the extent of his doings,
nonecan find out."
He is the most powerful:
"His purposes fail not, neither are there any who can stay his hand."
He lives!!
"And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is
the testimony, last of all, that we give of him: that he lives. For we saw
him, even on the right hand of God; (Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery
speaking)
He is the only begotten Son of the
Father:
And we heard the voice bearing record that he is the only begotten of the
Father . . .
He is the creator:
That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created,
and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God.
He is subject to the will of the
Father:
"And we beheld the glory of the Son, on the right hand of the Father,
(The following are all continuous, Jesus Christ speaking) "I, having
accomplished and finished the will of Him whose I am, even the Father,
concerning me--having done this that I might subdue all things unto myself . .
.
He will destroy Satan and his works at the last
day:
"retaining all power, even to the destroying of Satan and his works at the
end of the world, and the last great day of judgement . . .
He will reward men according to their deeds, good or
evil
"which I shall pass upon the inhabitants thereof, judging every man
according to his works and the deeds which he has done."
I fully believe these wordsareeither those ofthe
living Christ, or were spoken under the influence of his spirit--either way,
they are divine scripture, and therefore are binding on all who read them.

The Jesus of the Bible is the same
as the one in the BoM and the DC--if you knew the one in the Bible
better, you would recognize him in the BoM and DC--unfortunately, your
concepts of him come from your traditions, which are largely of men.
The Mormon Jesus is one who still has power to perform miracles, and to do a new thing--the traditions you teach have
emasculated him beyond recognition--your Jesus is impotent--unable to work
or act without the approval of your confused ministers or your
stand-in-your-own-light, self-appointed preachers.
