The God and Jesus Christ of Mormonism is nothing at all like the Biblical God of Christianity. Mormons believe that God and Jesus were once men who through obedience grew in knowledge and perfection and became gods. They believe the same is true for members of the LDS church that they too can become gods/goddesses if they obey the Commandments and the ordinances.
Actually, no, Mormons don't believe that about Jesus. They believe Jesus as the son of God and has not gone through the same growth as God. Most Christians believe God and Jesus are the same in the nature of the Trinity, no difference between them. Mormons believe Jesus is the literal son of God.
Mormons do not believe in the Trinity, but in the Godhead, where God the Father, Jesus the Christ, and the Holy Ghost are separate beings acting in one role, more or less. Most of Christianity believes in the Trinity.
Mormons believe that God still communicates with His children. They have modern-day scripture, prophets, etc. Christians do not believe that God speaks to His children anymore and consider the Bible His ultimate word.
I guess those are the big ones.
Actually I am not morman but I believe God does speak to us. He he speaks to us all the time. Many Christians have heard his voice. He is same God he was in the past, present, and future. He talked to his children before and talk to us now. He talks to us through his word but also talks to us through visions and sometimes an audioble voice. But a lot of Christians do actually believe God talks to us and have heard his voice and seen visions to back up their claim. Oh and by the way I think mormans believe that God is an alien or something.
I'm not sure they believe he's an alien, maybe your thinking of the Heaven's Gate cult.
That would definitely be a cult! Mormons do not believe God is an alien.
