He was the Great Jehovah of the Old Testament, the Messiah of the New. Under the direction of His Father, He was the creator of the earth. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made (John 1:3). Though sinless, He was baptized to fulfill all righteousness. He went about doing good (Acts 10:38), yet was despised for it. His gospel was a message of peace and goodwill. He entreated all to follow His example. He walked the roads of Palestine, healing the sick, causing the blind to see, and raising the dead. He taught the truths of eternity, the reality of our premortal existence, the purpose of our life on earth, and the potential for the sons and daughters of God in the life to come.
He instituted the sacrament as a reminder of His great atoning sacrifice. He was arrested and condemned on spurious charges, convicted to satisfy a mob, and sentenced to die on Calvarys cross. He gave His life to atone for the sins of all mankind. His was a great vicarious gift in behalf of all who would ever live upon the earth.
We solemnly testify that His life, which is central to all human history, neither began in Bethlehem nor concluded on Calvary. He was the Firstborn of the Father, the Only Begotten Son in the flesh, the Redeemer of the world.
He rose from the grave to become the firstfruits of them that slept (1 Corinthians 15:20). As Risen Lord, He visited among those He had loved in life. He also ministered among His other sheep (John 10:16) in ancient America. In the modern world, He and His Father appeared to the boy Joseph Smith, ushering in the long-promised dispensation of the fulness of times (Ephesians 1:10).
Of the Living Christ, the Prophet Joseph wrote: His eyes were as a flame of fire; the hair of his head was white like the pure snow; his countenance shone above the brightness of the sun; and his voice was as the sound of the rushing of great waters, even the voice of Jehovah, saying:
I am the first and the last; I am he who liveth, I am he who was slain; I am your advocate with the Father (D&C 110:34).
Of Him the Prophet also declared: And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!
For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father—
That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God (D&C 76:2224).
We declare in words of solemnity that His priesthood and His Church have been restored upon the earth—built upon the foundation of apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone (Ephesians 2:20).
We testify that He will someday return to earth. And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together (Isaiah 40:5). He will rule as King of Kings and reign as Lord of Lords, and every knee shall bend and every tongue shall speak in worship before Him. Each of us will stand to be judged of Him according to our works and the desires of our hearts.
We bear testimony, as His duly ordained Apostles—that Jesus is the Living Christ, the immortal Son of God. He is the great King Immanuel, who stands today on the right hand of His Father. He is the light, the life, and the hope of the world. His way is the path that leads to happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come. God be thanked for the matchless gift of His divine Son. (taken from The Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles- www.lds.org)

The common, daily clothing included a head covering. This is quite normal for Jesus when you consider that he was a Jew. The first Christians followed Jesus and his doctrine as given to him by God the Father.

question: Why are you do you depict Jesus so often with a head covering.

While many in their hell are the evil and wicked of the world, many are innocent souls who tried to conduct their lives to the best of their knowledge and abilities. There are hundreds of millions who would have accepted the True Son of God had they been given the chance.
The trinitarian God created more souls to be condemned to hell than will ever be exalted to Heaven.
They have absolutely nothing to offer me. I see no reason to abandon my beliefs for theirs.....end

If their God is omnipotent, He could have made a way for ALL to participate. Because of this I REJECT their trinitarian Jesus. I refuse to accept a God who is so uncaring, unloving, and unjust that He ignores the prayers and pleadings of the vast majority of His human creations.
This will send me to their hell, but I do this of my own free will and choice. In their hell, I will be among the billions who were never given a free will and choice.....cont....

What do the trinitarians have to offer the world? Their trinitarian God created this world, provided billions of souls to occupy it, and sent a Redeemer to save those souls so they could return to Heaven. However, He made a limited effort to give those billions access to the key of redemption--the chance to know that Redeemer and ACCEPT or REJECT Him. Then He condemns those billions to hell because they didn't accept the Redeemer the majority never even heard of.....cont...

What happens when you die? Have you told lies, stolen, used God's name in vain? If yes, then you're a liar, thief, and a blasphemer in the sight of God. When you die & be judged by God, you'll be guilty of sin, & go to Hell! But God sent God His Son Jesus to shed His blood & die on a cross for your sins, He was buried & rose again from the dead on the third day. If you'll believe the Gospel(Jesus's death for your sins, His burial & resurrection)you'll not perish & have everlasting life!

His name is Yahuwah Alahkym (Elohim) and his sons name is Yahuwshuwa. Only one name was given to his son and one name only. Proverbs 30:4, John 5:43, Ephe 20:23. He has one name not Jesus, Jehovah, or Immanuel. These are all false names. And the beast was given power to SLANDER his name. Je' (SUS) means "PIG" DO YOUR RESEARCH PEOPLE. Why did the stop translating the name at a dead language LATIN? His name is the only name translated 3 times from Hebrew-Greek-Latin. This should raise questions.

One last point as the churches of chistendom have removed the name Jehovah from most bibles people are now confused as to who THE LORD GOD is and who the Lord jesus christ is, in this way people think jesus is god because he is called the lord,so whenever you see the word LORD in the Old testament it means Jehovah,not jesus,If jesus saw the word jehovah in the old testamrnt he would read what it says,in luke 4v18 jesus would of said JEHOVAH and not lord to go along with the supersticious jews
