The text was masterfully crafted.

IOW it was pure political bullshit.

"But I’m not judging."

But, you are!

[Goreknowshowtocheat]

I just said he cannot live long enough to be the Prophet. He may get called to something but out living 14 Apostles is probably not likely.

[RetiredArmy]

Thanks. But, I don't worry what a bunch of people who refuse to read and understand nonbelievers. It is the same with Muslins. They don't believe, yet some here will hammer that yet believe Mormons are Christians. I don't care what they think. I know what God's Word says and Mormons do not follow God's Word. If some here want to be smart rear ends over it, I don't care. They make smart rear end remarks, but it does not bother me. I know what the Bible says. I don't spend 2 to 3 hours per day in it and no know what it says. I know what Mormons believe and they do not believe in Jesus Christ. If some here think that is incorrect, it is their problem. I wish all would come to Christ. I pray for all of them, Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, Muslins, all of them. They are cults and they are totally lost. That simple. The Book says so, not me. I simply repeat what God's Word tells us and Mormons do not follow the same Bible that I read. They made up their own book. My Bible says there will be scoffers in the end times. These are the scoffers. Have a great day.

Then why are you as an individual, insisting to all the Christian denominations who say that it isn’t, that Mormonism is a Christian church?

[eclecticEel]

I tried to watch a few seconds of Romney’s speech, I couldn’t take it. I feel sorry for the kids who has to sit through the whole, long-winded thing.

[P-Marlowe]

Who are you to judge that Mormonism is Christian?

[ansel12]

So Romney is expected to rise within the religion, and he will become a God at some point.

[RetiredArmy]

I know I am a sinner. That has absolutely nothing to do with the subject.

[Norm Lenhart]

This is simple. There is no Book of Mormon in any accepted branch of Christian belief. No other branch of Christian belief has anything comparable. An Eastern Orthadox and a Southern Baptist share core beliefs. They both follow the Bible. A Roman Catholic and a churchless man at home with a Bible share core beliefs though they may differ on the need for Sunday mass.

But a Mormon believes a core doctrine different from all those. That is not debatable. He places the Book of Mormon in the pathway of Biblical teaching. That too is not debatable.

You cannot believe something in opposition to something else and call yourself both. That is insanity. Or lying to one’s self.

[Norm Lenhart]

You need a dictionary. What I’m doing is stating a fact backed by logical example.

[norwaypinesavage]

"Who are you to judge......."

If you would only read what I said, is that "I am NOT QUALIFIED TO JUDGE". I'm surprised that you think that you are.

[Politicalmom]

Sure. Pimping out orphans to deviants is really moral.

[P-Marlowe]

If you would only read what I said, is that "I am NOT QUALIFIED TO JUDGE". I'm surprised that you think that you are.

But you are passing judgment on those of us who ARE Qualified to judge whether or not Mormonism is or is not Christian. Mormonism is no more Christian than Islam is Christian. One cannot be a Muslim and a Christian. Likewise one cannot be a Mormon and be a Christian.

I am qualified to make that Judgment because I was born and raised a Mormon and I have since left the Mormon Church and I later became a Christian.

Mormonism is not Christian.

You are not qualified to judge me for saying so. Since you are clearly admitting that you are not qualified to make the judgment, I'd suggest that you stop judging those of us who are.

[Goreknowshowtocheat]

The Book of Mormon was not given to other groups. So, what is your point? It is available for reading and study, but I doubt whole religions in mass will adopt it. We don’t anticipate that happening and by the way we use the King James Bible, so what bible did you think we were reading and following? We worship the risen Christ of the Bible. At least,that seems to be the only Bible I see in church, if fact when I was a protestant I used that Bible.

[norwaypinesavage]

"Then why are you as an individual, insisting to all the Christian denominations who say that it isn’t, that Mormonism is a Christian church?"

I am not saying anything other than that I cannot judge who is a Christian." Can you?

[GeronL]

That is one of the images that comes to mind when I think of Mittens.

I do agree that Protestants are not Mormons. And, Mormons are not Protestants or Catholics. I am really smart.

[Norm Lenhart]

You either are ignorant of, or willfully intent to accept the fact that in Christianity/the Bible, You have God, and the Son of God, Jesus Christ. There are no men becoming Gods. There are no planets for us to rule.

Do you deny that? You can, but there is no point. The Book of Mormon teaches things in opposition to the Bible. The Mormon faith possesses a different core doctrine than Christianity. That’s a fact. I am sorry you choose to ignore that. You can call them the same until you turn blue but that’s not my problem. They are not. The facts, easily shown by a direct comparison between the teachings of the Bible and those of the BOM prove beyond doubt that they are not.

Believe whatever you like. Your soul, your business. Be a happy member of your faith. But that’s your faith. It is different from mine. That’s just the way it is. If you want to be a Christian, then follow the teachings of Christianity. Until that time, Peace be with you.
