FAIR's Response
Fact checking results: This claim contains propaganda - The author, or the author's source, is providing information or ideas in a slanted way in order to instill a particular attitude or response in the reader
The term "Mormon Jesus" is a pejorative term used by evangelicals to imply that Latter-day Saints do not worship the "true" Jesus. Latter-day Saints worship the Jesus described in the New Testament.- For a detailed response, see: Latter-day Saints aren't Christians?
