For people who think Mormonism isn't part of Christianity?

Question

Why do you think Mormonism isn't part of Christianity?

Answer 1

After reading thru your answers I gather that most anti - Mormons are highly mis-informed! The Book of Mormon tells of the first inhabitants of the America's. All the way from the southern tip of South America on up to the Alaskan territories! The American Indian and the Native Peoples of Mexico are the decendants of these people. We believe in the same God, the same Jesus, Trinity (Father, Son & Holy Ghost), We definately believe That Jesus suffered in behalf of the all the sinners of the worild that they might be forgiven of their sins. And died on the cross to seal that offer. And yes we believe in the Bible as far as it is translated correctly!
I have a challenge. All Mormon Bashers should prayerfully READ the book of Mormon., before deciding what it says. After you've read it and taken Moroni up on his challenge. Then - lets talk!!

Answer 2

We Mormons are literally not extremely "a area" of Christianity. Our beliefs are unusual and diverse because we beleive that the powers and authority of heaven replaced into lost from the Catholic church, even as early as three hundred ad. All off-shoots from which have various ranges of mistakes and many classic Christian beleifs are diversions from the unique teachings of Christ. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a restore of those lost truths by cutting-part-day prophecy and visitation of angels. we are actually led by Jesus Christ, and each and each and every member has the present of the Holy Ghost as a consistent significant different to handbook and instruct us, provided we proceed to be worth by exercising consultation faith in Christ and attempting to obey His commandments. you may want to assert that we are a not area of cutting-part Christianity, yet in view that we do actually keep on with Christ, we are very a lot Christian. P.S. you're good about different Christians not accepting a lot of our beleifs. yet we are an rather faith-filled people (or a minimum of, many people are - no-one's ideal! we are all growing). God isn't silent. He has a residing prophet on the earth on the prompt.

Answer 3

Galatians 1:6-9, Paul said if anyone (even an angel) preaches another gospel than THE gospel he preached, they were accursed.

In verse 23 he said he preached "the faith". Obviously "the faith" and "the gospel" are the same.

Throughout the New Testament, the term "the faith" is used many times. If you will look up these verses, you will see you can use the term "the gospel" where it says "the faith" without changing the meaning of the verse.

One such verse is Jude 3. This verse says, "Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints."

In this verse is "the faith" the same as "the gospel"? It most certainly is.

Now is the word "was" future tense, present tense, or past tense?

This verse says "the faith", the gospel, WAS delivered once for all the saints. This does not leave any room for your Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, or Doctrine of the Covenants, or any later day additions or revelations.

Answer 4

I didn't know that. I thought that they began as Christians.
I really don't know a lot of their history, but I suppose, in those days, where proper preachers were few and far between, and souls were thirsting for something,...they had to have it.

They gave me a book once, and I swear, I thought my eyes started seeing better. It was indeed an exciting story, and very epic and imaginative. It takes you away, although their practices seem to favor the man and not the woman, the women seem happy enough. They're a cheerful lot as far as I can tell, always smiling and happy.

Answer 5

The main reason is that the main point of Christianity is that Jesus came to Earth as God in person. He lived here flawless and then died as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. He was the most high prophet.

From what I know about Mormonism Jesus is just a prophet. Not a most high prophet or a savior, he is simply a prophet to a Mormon. To a Morman Jesus is no greater than any other man or prophet. In Christianity, Jesus is our Savior. He stands above us. This is what defines Christians and Christianity.

Answer 6

Mormonism preaches a different story about Jesus, one so radically different that they cannot be talking about the same Person as the Apostles preached. Just the Gnostic messiah by the same name as the Christ doesn't make him the same person. There are major differences in theology here!

Christianity is messianic Judaism: there is only One God for the entire universe and however many universes there may be. There is NO GODDESS. God has no predecessor, and will be replaced by NOBODY. Jesus Christ is God revealing Himself as a physical man, in order to make the atoning sacrifice for the sins of mankind. Christians look foreward to eternity with God, not AS god. There is no physical reproduction in Heaven.

Mormonism is Gnostic heresy. "God" is only one of an entire line of "gods" and "goddesses". "God the Father" is only god of the Earth; he had a father god and a mother goddess, and has a wife that perpetually bears him children. "Jesus" (the mormon jesus) is the firstborn of this union. Good mormons expect to become gods and goddesses of their own planets someday, perpetually having babies to make the souls to populate it.

The idea of a "god's wife" comes from paganism, especially Egyptian paganism, where the wife of Osiris was responsible for the act of creation, by seducing the petulant Osiris. This was the Egyptian's form of the "big bang"; the pagan's gods sexual acts supposedly created the known universe.

How is that for starters?

Answer 7

You've opened the floodgates for all the anti-Mormon crowd and their thoughts on this subject, based on their personal beliefs and ingrown prejudices. Let us hope you receive some quality answers on this topic.

Answer 8

I think it isn't part of Christianity because no location unique to the book of Mormon has ever been found, proving the book to be untrue. OTOH, archeology has proven Biblical locations over and over.

Answer 9

Mormonism is a new lie based on an old lie. It's like a partially plagiarized lie.

Answer 10

Because it's a higher order cult and better too, how many wife's can a Mormon have
