Mormon isn't a Christian faith. Different Jesus for starters. Both can't be true, and I've studied the Mormon cult at length with an open mind (and a discerning Spirit). Good people but sorely deceived. The add on Book of Mormon contradicts the Old and New Testaments all over the place.. But, no point trying to persuade you. Only the Holy Ghost can do that.

Mormonism certainly is a Christian religion. It is NOT an orthodox christian religion (we belive that orthodox christianity has strayed from the gospel taught by Christ) but it a religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus and derived from Jesus's teachings. Our understanding of what those teachings are etc. are not exactly the same, but that doesn't mean we are not christians.
Even though we disgree with the orthodox faiths on a number of points, we still recognize that their intention is to follow Christ and we hail them as fellow-christians just the same.

LDS theology is consistant. One purpose of the BoM is to contridict FALSE interpretations of the Bible, there is no conflict between the BoM and the Bible from the LDS POV.
