I mention this in this thread because it ties in with the Godhead I mentioned to a Mormon friend of mine. Why? Yes... I can understand that Mormons accept Jesus, but I do not understand if they accept Jesus in the same fashion as Evangelicals.

The same fashion in that..... we believe that he is the only begotten son of God and drank from the Father's bitter cup and at Gethsemenee and at Golgotha paid the price for the sins of mankind on conditions of repentance. Because Joseph Smith saw God the Father and Jesus Christ, we have a better understanding of the Godhead. Namely that the Godhead consists of God the Father.....an exalted personage of flesh and bone....Jesus Christ, the only begotten son.....an exalted personage of flesh and bone and the Holy Ghost..... an exalted personage of Spirit and they are one God.......one in purpose......not one in substance.
