RE: Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, AKA Mormons, are indisputably followers of Christ and therefore are Christians.

Can one be a follower of Christ and yet preach FALSE things about Him?

For instance, Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is the Spirit Brother of Lucifer.

“Thus it is shown that prior to the placing of man upon the earth, how long before we do not know, Christ and Satan, together with the hosts of the spirit-children of God, existed as intelligent individuals, possessing power and opportunity to choose the course they would pursue and the leaders whom they would follow and obey” (James Talmage, Jesus the Christ, p. 8)

“The appointment of Jesus to be the Savior of the world was contested by one of the other sons of God. He was called Lucifer, son of the morning. Haughty, ambitious, and covetous of power and glory, this spirit-brother of Jesus desparately tried to become the Savior of mankind”

(Milton R. Hunter, The Gospel Through the Ages, p. 15-—this book was “written and published under the direction of the General Priesthood Committee of the Council of the Twelve of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints”).

JESUS TELLS US IN MATTHEW 7:21-23:

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me...’

One shouldn't be throwing stones when one lives in a glass house. Christian doctrine is anything but pure because it says that the Word in which Yah’shua came as, was abolished while also claiming Yah’shua came as a new covenant other than that which He came as.

Revelation 12:

7 And there was a war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
