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.
"The add on Book of Mormon contradicts the Old and New Testaments all over the place."
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.
Different Jesus in BoM versus the Holy Scriptures. Both can't be the truth. You can quote lds garbage all you want, but when the rubber hits the road, you are not following the Son of God. Mormon isn't Christian, it's cult.
there is no conflict between the BoM and the Bible from the LDS POV. Did you ACTUALLY type this line with a straight face?
I guess you could.. knowing that many in your 'audience' will not find out what your organization's POV is!
