    So do Muslims. Jesus is to the Quran and the Book of Mormon what Moses is to the New Testament. A recognized prophet, but not the prophet because god apparently felt the need to send a new one down to earth to clarify a few things.

    I don’t personally give a shit as I’m not even remotely religious, but the only reason Mormons pretend to be a Christian sect is because it’s politically convenient to them as a US religious minority to “blend in” better. The more you learn about their beliefs, the more you realize they might be further apart from Christianity than Christianity is from Judaism.

      No, Muslims believe that Jesus was a human prophet who was deified by people who strayed from his true teachings. Jesus was not the son of God, and there is no holy trinity. He didn’t die on the cross for our sins because God took him up into heaven. Mormons, however, do believe in these key aspects relating to the divine nature of Jesus and his role as savior in their religion.
