How Major Cults View The Deity of Christ 

 New Age Adherents
believe Jesus was a great enlightened teacher who realized He was God, just like we all can realize we are God.

Hindus
believe Jesus was one of many great and holy men. Many Hindus believe Jesus was a good teacher and perhaps one of their 330 million incarnations of Brahman (Hinduism’s impersonal, pantheistic deity).

Buddhists
believe Jesus was an enlightened man. God in the flesh? No. 

Jehovah's Witnesses say that Jesus is actually Michael, the Archangel.  He was the first creation of God.  He came to Earth as a man, died on a stake, and rose from the grave invisibly as a spirit.  Jesus then returned invisibly to Brooklyn, N.Y. in 1914 to head-up the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.

Mormons (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) teach that Jesus is the spirit brother of Satan.  He was once a human being like you and I, but through good works he evolved spiritually to become a god.  However, Jesus is just one god amongst a pantheon of gods, all of who were once human and evolved to become gods themselves.  Jesus was born to Mary through physical incest when his father god had sexual relations with her.  And Mormons teach that the blood and cross of Christ is foolishness and cannot fully atone for our sins (ever notice how there's no cross on any Mormon church or temple?).    

Christian Science and Mary Baker Eddy say that Jesus was only a man and that Christ is a Divine idea.   Furthermore, Jesus never did any supernatural miracles; he simply showed people their mental illusions of sin, evil, illness and disease.  Christian Science says that Jesus did not die and his resurrection was only in a spiritual sense. “Jesus Christ is not God, as Jesus Himself declared, but is the Son of God.”

Sun Myung Moon (the Korean messiah) claims that Jesus was a man who failed his divine mission and he, Rev. Moon, is the second coming of Christ to unite the world under the banner of the Unification Church.  

The Bahai say that Jesus is only one of nine great world manifestations; he is not a unique path to salvation and all religions are basically the same.

The Masonic Lodge: A former Mason reports “Freemasonry ‘carefully excludes’ the Lord Jesus Christ from the lodge and chapter, repudiates His mediatorship, rejects His atonement, denies and disowns His Gospel, frowns upon His religion and His church, ignores the Holy Spirit….” Freemasonry is the true light of humanity.

Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard claim that Jesus is a false dream. They were just a shade above clear [that is, relatively low on the Scientology scale of spiritual advancement].

Spiritists say that Jesus is an advanced medium in the 6th sphere of the astrological projection (wherever that is?).

Unity teaches that Jesus is a man who perfected a divine idea.

Unitarian/Universalism: Unitarian Universalist minister Waldemar Argow states: “They [Unitarian/Universalists] do not regard him as a supernatural creature, the literal son of God who was miraculously sent to earth as part of an involved plan for the salvation of human souls.”

Rosicrucians claim that Jesus is a manifestation of cosmic consciousness.

Maharishi and Transcendental Meditation says that Jesus was an enlightened guru who never suffered or died for anyone.
