Pray for me. My neice just got her license and is taking me for a drive. Before pulling put of the driveway she said "just gotta put it in rewind" 😳

Latter-day Saints aren’t Traditional Christians. They are Restorationist Christians. This is a distinct tradition that aims to bypass centuries of church councils and follow the Jesus found in the New Testament. Traditional Christianity is defined largely by church councils held hundreds of years after Christ walked the earth. These councils produced creeds, formal checklists of belief meant to draw hard boundaries around who Jesus is. The most famous, the Nicene Creed, decided that the Father and Son are the exact same "substance." Latter-day Saints see the creeds as additions made centuries after the apostles, ones that moved Christianity away from the Jesus described in the New Testament.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Ironically, while critics often claim the Latter-day Saint Jesus is somehow lesser, many scholars see it the other way. The late Catholic theologian Stephen Webb observed that the Book of Mormon is utterly obsessed with Jesus Christ. Not reverent. Not focused. Obsessed. He noted that while many modern traditional denominations have actually softened the divinity of Jesus, treating him more like a nice moral teacher, Latter-day Saints have gone in the opposite direction. Webb observed that their Jesus is maximalist. He is the Creator, the God of the Old Testament, and the literal Savior of the whole world. The Latter-day Saint Jesus isn't a diluted version of the Christian one. It isn't a "different Jesus" because he is less. It's a "different Jesus" because he is so central to the faith that it can be startling to outsiders.
