Fair, accurate, charitable
Latter-day Saints sincerely consider themselves Christians. This resource is not an attack on them — it is a careful comparison of LDS teaching with historic, Nicene Christianity, drawn from LDS primary sources stated as fairly as possible. The differences are real and foundational.

- Jesus — eternally God, one essence with the Father, vs. the firstborn spirit child of the Father
- Destiny — glorified creatures united to God vs. exaltation into godhood
