<P>NOTE: The Jesus of the Mormon Church is not the Jesus of the Bible. There is only one God, according to the Bible. Within the nature of the one eternal God are three distinct persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. The Mormon Jesus, is one God of many Gods, begotten by the Father, and the spirit brother of Satan.</P>
