..lds are not brothers in Christ because they have a different view of Christ

I am aware of your ruling on this topic.

Mormons believe that Jesus is Christ, and that He died on the cross for our sins.

By definition, that makes them Christians.

I do not share your condemnation of Mormons. Fury like that needs company to feed it. Perhaps your friends are right, and that you should no longer engage me. Fury starves quickly if not constantly supplemented.

Maybe I'm ignorant. Maybe I'm a closet LDSer. Maybe I'm a racist. Quick, before you starve, find a reason to dismiss me!! Or.....join me:

Blame Alaska!!

No they do not. Research the subject.

“Mormons believe that Jesus is Christ, and that He died on the cross for our sins. By definition, that makes them Christians.” Close, but not quite correct, which is typical for mormonism apologiss at FR. And you wouldn’t want to be associated to them! ... BTW, an interesting switch in pronouns you made, Mormon. You went from ‘our’ to ‘them’; are you conflicted in your beliefs?

You miss the point entirely.

When someone is “called” to position in the FLDS/LDS Church, it is by a leader who claims to receive the revelation directly from God. This leaves only two scenarios here, either God wanted a child abuser to be in charge of hundreds of children, OR THE CHURCH IS FALSE AND THIS IS PROOF THERE IS NO REVELATION FROM GOD TO MORMONS !

Laotzu - do you believe in the bible? The bible makes is clear that not everyone who names the name of Jesus is considered to be a Christian.

Gal 1:6 KJV - I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Gal 1:7 KJV - Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 KJV - But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 KJV - As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Mat 7:21 KJV - Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 KJV - Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Both passages tell us that there will be those who try to pass a false gospel off. So it goes deeper than your simple definition lao.

The true Jesus is the Second Person of the Trinity, God the Son. Only one true God in existance

The Jesus of mormonism is but one of a pantheon of gods and goddesses.

Your response will demonstrate your level of intellectual honesty on the point as well as your credability.

_____________________________________

No actually Mormions believe that their Mormon jesus just sweated in the Garden of Gethsemanee for their “atonement” but not their salvation as her Christians believe...

Mormon dont believe that the blood of their jesus has the power to forgive every sin...

For murder for instance youre on your own...

Paul would not have made it if it was up to Joey Smith and his jesus...

Joey Smith ???

Oh yes, well if youre a mormon first ya gotta get by the judgement of Joey Smith...

He “earned” his rigfht to judge you...

The mormon jesus ...not so much...

and the mormon holy ghost ???

Well it was so naughty that it never did earn a body so it doesnt count...

its more like a helpless lap dog or a mascot...
