 I would like to try once again to clarify my (Mormon) beliefs as to who

Jesus really is.  If needed, I can verify all of these assertions by

biblical scripture. He is as follows:

 

1)  The God of the Old Testament--Jehovah--he was the "I Am that I Am"

that gave commandments to Moses, and delivered the Children of Israel out of Egypt. 

**Jesus is not God the Father, in the OT he was called the "angel of His presence"

the rock and the cloud that followed Israel through the wilderness etc.

 

2)  He was the firstborn of all spirit creations OF the Father.  (Rev 3:14)   

**The Word of God is not a created being, only a body was created for Him

in the womb of Mary.

 

3)  All other things were created BY him (but OF the father).

**The worlds were created by the Word of His Power why did you add

what is not written in scripture?

 

4)  He is the only begotten of the Father in the flesh.

**God made him a flesh body but the 2nd Adam is the firstborn of the New

Creation which is spiritual.

 

5)  He gave his life and blood to atone for the sins of all, as he overcame

all things, including death.

**He shed his blood and his body was broken as a sacrifice; but God

does not die so they could not take His spirit.

 

6)  He was the firstborn of the resurrection, having pre-eminance in all things.

**Firstborn from the dead is the scriptural term.

 

7)  He now reigns on the right hand of the Father (both in bodies of  flesh

and bone) and caringly intervenes in the affairs of men, by speaking to his

ordained and authorized servants, the prophets.

**God the Father is Spirit, he does not have a body of flesh; Jesus intercedes

for his body the Church.

 

8)   He will again set his foot on the earth, which is his footstool, and will

reign forever as King and Prince over all,  in justice and equity, and his

Kingdom will never end. 

**It's King of Kings and Lord of Lords..

 

I can't see that any of these beliefs make my Jesus different from your

Jesus--unless you don't believe your own scriptures.

 

jt: What you have written has a "different or Mormon spin" Blaine and there

is so much more.  Impossible to plumb the depths of Jesus in one line.
