“Mormonism’s false “Jesus” is the kind of god that Scripture condemns in Romans 1:23 – “an image made like corruptible man.”
In dealing with Mormons, the true Christian will find that it is exceedingly difficult to have a meaningful conversation about their theology. That is because they have redefined the meanings of all the major Biblical terms so that they fit the Mormon mold. If a Bible-believing Christian does not understand this, it will be easy to think that when a Mormon uses a particular Biblical term, he is using that term as the Bible defines it, when in fact a Mormon is not using it in the same way at all.
The way to expose this fact about Mormonism or any other false religion is to ask essential questions, as we are doing in this series. Now that we have seen the monstrosity that Mormonism has put in place of God the Father, we must next ask, “What does Mormonism teach about Jesus Christ?”
Like all cults that falsely claim to be Christian, Mormonism redefines the Bible’s terminology. Nowhere is this more the case than in Mormonism’s horrible disfigurement of the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. They have invented a pagan substitute for the authentic Jesus.
Mormonism’s “Father God” and “Mother God”
As we begin to consider Mormon false teaching about Jesus, we need to understand additional points of Mormon false teaching about God the Father.
In order to understand how they have invented a false Jesus, it is very important, first of all, to understand that Mormonism teaches the existence of both a being it calls the “Father God” and also a being it calls a “Mother God.” You heard me correctly: Mormonism teaches both a “Father God” and a “Mother God.” Mormon theologian Milton R. Hunter, states:
The stupendous truth for the existence of a Heavenly Mother, as well as a Heavenly Father, became an established fact in Mormon theology.
According to another Mormon writing called the Book of Abraham, the Mormon “Father God” and “Mother God” lived together on or near a planet or star named Kolob. Mormonism teaches that this so-called “Father God” has many wives, not just one. They teach that this “Father God” came to earth with one of his wives, named Eve, to start the human race. In other words, Mormonism teaches that Adam and God are the same person. What a confused and evil theology this is.
It is also instructive to note that this hideous doctrine of a “Father God” and a “Mother God” became a central doctrine of the Mormon church, even though no such doctrine appears in any of the four books they call “scripture.” Mormonism has no unchanging source of authority. Their teachings can change on the word of one man, one leader of the church.
The Mormon doctrine of a “Father God” and “Mother God” was invented out of thin air. It is nowhere to be found in the three books they have added to the Bible, or in the authentic Word of God itself. And yet this doctrine of a “Father God” and “Mother God” is a key to understanding the false Mormon doctrine of the person they falsely call Jesus Christ.
Here is the reason why: Mormonism teaches that this same so-called “Father God,” a god having many wives, also took Mary as a wife and fathered Jesus in the normal, physical manner. In other words, in Mormon theology there is no virgin birth, and there is no pre-existent Christ, God the Son from all eternity.
The Authentic Account of the Incarnation
Before we go further into the shocking details of Mormonism’s pagan distortion of the birth of Jesus, let me remind you of the authentic, Biblical account of the incarnation of Christ.
The doctrine of the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ is an essential doctrine of the Christian faith. In the book of Isaiah chapter seven, verse fourteen, God declares, “Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son and shall call His name Immanuel…” – which in the original language means “God with us.”
In the Gospel of Luke chapter one, the angel Gabriel announced the fulfillment of that prophecy to the Virgin Mary. We read in verse thirty-four that
Mary said to the angel, “how can this be, since I do not know a man?” [Notice, dear friends – Mary from the beginning understood the miraculous nature of the doctrine of the virgin birth!] And the angel [Gabriel] answered and said to her, “the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the Power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore also that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.”
In Philippians chapter two beginning at verse five, we read this:
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:5-11)
When the Apostle Paul under divine inspiration speaks of Jesus “being in the form of God” and “taking the form of a bondservant,” he is using words in the Greek that tell us that Jesus took on an outward appearance that was in agreement with an inward nature He already possessed.
The Greek words in the phrase “being in the form of God” in verse six tell us two things. First, Jesus’ deity is the outward expression of His inward nature. Second, Jesus’ deity is a continuous state – past, present, and future. In other words, He did not empty Himself of, or in any way diminish, His deity when He came into this world in a body of flesh. In taking on the form of a servant, Jesus voluntarily laid aside heavenly privileges and prerogatives in obedience to God the Father, but His deity was not changed or diminished. Jesus was still the God of the universe while in this world.
The phrase “taking the form of a bondservant” in verse seven is in harmony with this. It tells us that servanthood was also an outward expression of Jesus’ inward nature. His deity remained intact when He took on the form of a servant. Humanity was the means by which He manifested His servanthood. This passage echoes Jesus’ own words in the Gospel of John, chapter six, beginning at verse thirty-eight:
I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:38-40)
The Birth of “Jesus” According to Mormonism
In contrast to this, what does Mormonism teach about the birth of the person they call Jesus Christ? Mormonism teaches that a god (small “g”), who began as a sinful man, became the “Father God,” took Mary as a wife, and fathered Jesus in the normal human way. There was no virgin birth. The Holy Spirit was not involved – and that is a plain denial of Scripture. And since Joseph was also Mary’s husband, this makes Mary guilty of adultery and polygamy.
Worse yet, Mormonism teaches that Jesus is the brother of Lucifer. It teaches that both Jesus and Lucifer were begotten in the same way, by the act of this false “God the Father” having a physical relationship with one of his wives.
The Mormon “Jesus” was born to two beings who both, according to Mormonism, are sinners. Of course, they believe that Mary was a sinner. But let me remind you that Mormons also teach that the being they call the “Father God” was a sinner. One of Mormonism’s leading theologians, a man named Bruce McConkie, wrote this:
The Father is a glorified, perfected resurrected, exalted man who worked out his own salvation by obedience to the same laws he has given to us so that we may do the same. [From A New Witness for the Articles of Faith, page 64]
Notice what Mormons teach about their “Father God.” They teach that he “worked out his salvation” and was “resurrected.” Think about this for just a moment. According to the authentic Word of God, death is the wages of sin. That makes the Mormon “Father God” a sinner, and in fact Mormon teaching admits that their so-called “Father God” began as a sinful man. Mormonism teaches that their so-called “Father God” was saved by his own works.
Now, Mormons will argue that if their God did sin, he does not do so now. But that is irrelevant. A “god” who sinned at all is not the God of the Bible. The God of the Bible has always been perfect – from all eternity. Psalm 90:2 tells us that He always has been God and never was a mortal man. The God of the Bible is not an exalted man.
A “God” Who Is “An Image Made Like Corruptible Man”
The truth is that Mormonism worships the kind of god that Scripture condemns in Romans 1:23. Truly they have, as the Apostle Paul wrote, “changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man.”
Holy Scripture utterly and unequivocally condemns Mormon teaching about their “Father God” and how he begot their “Jesus Christ.” It is yet another teaching from ancient paganism – the idea of male gods having intercourse with human women, which in Mormon teaching is possible because all gods were once mortal humans.
The one the Mormons call “Jesus Christ” is not the Christ of Scripture. He is not qualified to be a sinless substitute, because the so-called “god” who fathered him was not eternally holy. He is not the One who said, “I and my Father are one” (John 10:30) – a truth of authentic Scripture that we shall return to when we address Mormon false teaching on the doctrine of the Trinity.”

“That Ye all Speak the Same Thing” [podcast]
Yes some abandon the sound doctrine which is the Holy Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:15-17). Let such cease.
“That ye all speak the same thing” right?
“Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.” 1 Corinthians 1:10
Satan is introducing doubting, casting doubt upon what God has said, His Word, when he said to the woman in the temptation, “Hath God said?” See Genesis 3:1. And Satan in this exchange, changed, altered what God said, God’s Word. See Genesis 2:17 and 3:4. Game changer! The enemy has not changed and we are not be ignorant of his devices, right? (2 Corinthians 2:11).
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16

Fruitful Life. Fruitful Evangelism. [podcast]
The Life God Blesses to Bear Fruit for His Eternal Glory
A fruitful life for God’s glory involves first being genuinely born again, abiding in Christ via the crucified life, bearing spiritual fruit—such as Christlikeness in character, good works, and evangelism—by remaining in vital union with Jesus, the true vine (John 15).
“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” John 15:16
JUST as Jesus multiplied the little with the boy who gave the loaves and fishes, so He does with our efforts. Jesus multiplied that little and fed 5,000 men, and that doesn’t count the women and children present. Try Him.
“O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” Psalms 34:8
“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” Matthew 25:40-46
God blesses the lives of His faithful saints. His faithful saints seek His face continually.
“Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11
God prospers us according as we seek His face and stay upon Him. Of king Uzziah king of Judah, God’s Word says:
“As long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.” 2 Chronicles 26:5
At times in this life there are season of uncertainty, where our vision may not be clear. We must “stay upon” the LORD.
“Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.” Isaiah 50:10
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.” Jeremiah 29:11-14
“But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:10
“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” Ephesians 3:20
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:8
We’ve never been so reminded of this as of the miraculous events of late where beloved brother Juan dropped some plastic water bottles that hit me in the feet. Only God could have orchestrated this collision of Juan’s life and mine.
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.” Psalms 37:23
Ask Him.
Recently brother Stacy Strother reminded me that God simply wants us, His people to be available, to pray and watch Him work!
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.” Mark 16:15-20
It has been wisely stated:
“Show me a man’s prayer life, his life of prayer or lack thereof, and I will show you who that man truly is and who and what he loves most.”
All who are zealous for the LORD are zealous about His work, to do it. Not build a church, but to see Christ work in the hearts of men—to strengthen and equip His body and convict and save lost souls to Himself.
One source notes:
“Evangelism is the act of sharing the Christian gospel—the ‘good news’ of Jesus Christ’s life, death, and resurrection—with the aim of inviting others into a relationship with God. It is considered a core mission for believers to spread this message of salvation, hope, and love, often stemming from Jesus’s command in the Great Commission.”
“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30
YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, in Jesus’ name, unite my heart to fear Thy name. Do your work in and through my life. I am all Yours. Maximize the fruit produced to Your eternal glory. You must increase but I must decrease. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Abiding
Washed. Sanctified. Glorified. [podcast]
“Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.” John 13:8
Jesus’ true bride is known in that she is making herself ready for Him.
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.” Revelation 19:7-8
“This morning I read Psalm 45. Titled the Kings marriage. The story of the King and His bride. This is a beautiful picture of the marriage supper of the Lamb in Rev 19:7-9. The Bridegroom is adorned in glory, majesty, righteousness and truth. Sitting in His royal throne. Then enters the Bride. Holy, without spot or wrinkle. Wearing the righteousness of Christ. And Jesus says, you are in thy Father’s house and He desires thy beauty and worship. Wow! Because she is wearing the beauty of the Lord (Psalm 27:4). His attributes. And she is wearing gold. Fine gold because she has been tried in the fire of affliction. And she is one of the five wise virgins who is invited to enter into the King’s palace. What a glorious picture of all who make themselves ready and are clean and white before their King Jesus! Alleluia!” Karen Cochran
The person who repents, puts their faith in Jesus Christ, and is saved, and continues rooted in Christ, continuing/abiding in Him, will confess any sin committed and be perpetually transformed by Him (Proverbs 28:13; 2 Corinthians 7:1; 1 John 1:7, 9; 3:4-10).
Many have been misled. Jesus invented the term “FALL AWAY” (Luke 8:13). The Son of God does not lie. If falling away isn’t possible, why did Jesus say it is possible? Jesus is returning for those who are looking for Him by the way they live.
“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:25-27
Only those hearing and obeying God’s Word are being washed by it.
“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto THEM THAT LOOK FOR HIM shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Hebrews 9:28
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are WASHED, but ye are SANCTIFIED, but ye are JUSTIFIED in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
The explanation below is modified from another source and notes the following:
“‘Washed, sanctified, and justified’ (often replacing glorified with justified) describes the comprehensive spiritual transformation of a believer in 1 Corinthians 6:11. It signifies being cleansed from sin, set apart for God’s purpose, and declared righteous through Christ, moving from a past life of disobedience to a new identity and a life of obedience to God (2 Corinthians 5:15).
- Washed: Refers to being cleansed of the defilement and stain of sin, often linked to baptism and the washing of regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
- Sanctified: Means being set apart to God for His holy purpose. It involves both a position of holiness in Christ and a progressive, lifelong process of becoming more like Him.
- Justified (Glorified/Righteous): Means being acquitted of all guilt and declared righteous before God on the basis of Christ’s finished work.
- Transformation: The Apostle Paul reminds the Corinthians that while they once lived in sin, their identity changed upon following Jesus.
- The Power Source: These changes are accomplished in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of God, not by personal merit.
- Living the New Life: This transformation signifies that believers are no longer defined by their past sins, but by their new, holy standing.”
Prayer: Jesus, I know You are going to return for a Bride that is without spot, wrinkle, or sin of any kind. Purify this life LORD Jesus which I now submit to You without reserve. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
