For those of you here who don't know me (some of you do), I've been studying up on Lutheranism and hanging around the forums for a few months. I've learned a lot from people here, but today, I have a different sort of question.
The reason I'm making this post is because I constantly find myself in arguments with Mormons who insist that their religion is a Christian religion, and I'm wondering how this is even possible.
Allow me to clarify, however. Here are some facts about Mormonism.
#1 They claim to worship Jesus, yet they have the audacity to claim that Jesus is just one God among many, and that Jesus is a space astronaut who flew to Earth from a star called Kolab.
#2: In all of human history, no matter what evils man has done and no matter how far from the right path Christianity/Catholicism has ventured, to date, only ONE religion has ever outright denied that Jesus Christ can save everyone. And that religion is the LDS church (Mormonism).
Even in the awful times of slavery, there was never any mainstream Christian groups that claimed black people can't be saved--except the LDS, which until 1978 did not even allow black people inside their religion.
The point of this is that Mormonism has historically taught that Jesus can't save everyone, which is basically the antithesis of Christianity 101, is it not?
#3: Mormonism teaches that Satan is God's brother rather than one of God's creations.
#4 The creepy one: They baptize dead people. How? Just ... how?
Anyway, how is it that Mormons can claim to be Christian when they don't even believe in the same Jesus?
