Is Mormonism Considered Christian by the Forums?

[Job_38]

Yes, indeed. Words mean nothing when compared to actions that go against what God's Word says.

I am not saying that it actually is, the beliefs are so far from Christianity that it is outright blasphemy. However does Christian Forums consider it a Denomination?

Eph writes...

I'd have to say that lookin at what ELSE passes for "Christian" on these various forums..WHY NOT...!

Around here as long as you say or include the words "Jesus"..."Amen"...or "Love" in your post..Your considered a Christian....

So ..."come on in the water's fine" would be the motto to use in this SOUP..

Now my personal thoughts are ....NO they are not Christian in any way..they think they are right in their teachings..but can be proven wrong...

So are many of the other loonies that post around here..!

It wasn't until recently that Mormons even wanted to be considered "Christian". Before they wanted it to be known that they were NOT Christians but Latter Day Saints. Why all of a sudden are they wanting to be included in historic Christianity?

The name of the church is: "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints". Sounds to me like they consider themselves Christian.

The statement posted by Hojo Hominygrits was an assertion that Mormons have never CONSIDERED themselves to be Christian. My comment refers to what Mormons consider themselves to be, not what my opinion of them is.

Regardless of whether Mormons are Christian or not, I would like to say that they are wonderful and precious people. Apart from their doctrines, I love the Mormon people very much, and I wish the Baptist Church would adopt some of the Mormon activities, like "Family Night". Also, Mormons "take care of their own", something no other Christian group can say.

 

[Job_38]

Thats nice, but their doctrine is something that is in dark contrast to God. Coming from a Christian as well as conservative, I think their stress on family is great. But that has only started coming around since they have been trying to be seen as Christians. This comes from the book "One Nation Under Gods" so I cannot post the backings of this. They want to be seen as Christians. They deny being Mormons.

We don't deny being mormons. It makes me laugh sometimes, the comments that people make. Like they know exactly what mormons believe and who they are. Not everyone does this. Just the select few. I have to ask myself, why? Does it make you feel better? If it does then I feel sorry for you.

Havoc this forum may be OPEN DISCUSSION AND DEBATE however this thread is open only to Christians because a nonchristian cannot have a say in what is truth and what is not because they do not know truth in the first place. You cannot distinguish that which you have not seen.

End of discussion.



Eph wonders to himself..!

WOW....how long before "Christian people" like that tie people to the stake and light a match...!

Eph says

Sorry as a Christian I disagree wholeheartedly with what you wrote Jseek21..

Now if you don't like what this person wrote..just be honest and say so...Don't drag your personal "christian perspective" into it...and claim IT is all knowing of truth...Then claim another can't distinguish truth..!

You know not what you say...WHEN you say it..!

That is the first that I've ever heard that mormons didn't want to be considered christian. All my life, I have never considered myself not to be a christian, except recently but that's another story. All I'm saying is where I'm from, we've always consider ourselves to be christians.


Eph writes...

I agree..Mormons have always considered themselves to be "christians"...

..what they do is claim to have a "new" revelation of Jesus Christ..then move to the book of Mormon...and focus on that...!

But they always claimed to be christian.....Although they aren't...!

Zyon if you are one....I'm glad to have given you the news on that..Joe Smith is NOT Jesus Christ...nor is he in any way a prophet of God..!

Eph says..

See how outward appearance means nothing Job..? You write of them... "their stress on family is great"...???

According to the Bible it isn't.....!

God never said have 4, 5, 6, 20 wives...and tons of children from each...So HOW on Gods green earth could you pick that area they are SOOOOO way out in left field on...and say it's the best part.."great"...?

I'd scratch my head on that..but I've been around this "christian forum page" tooooo long...!

Joe Smith is NOT Jesus Christ...nor is he in any way a prophet of God..!

I agree with the first part. But I have to say that I disagree with the second part.

Well IF you are a mormon...you've been duped..! Don't feel bad your not the first..and you certainly won't be the last...!

Joe Smith is a stone cold liar....You just got sucked into his lies like many others did..!

There's no shame in leaving that group once the LIGHT has been turned on..!

Eph says..

Well the second part about him being a prophet of God...can be proven out by what he claimed...Since it's not true..it becomes axiomatic....He can't be sent from God..because his message doesn't concur with what God already said...!

JESUS said there would be 1 sign given to mankind...and he used as an example the sign of Jonah being in the great fish 3 days and 3 nights..THIS was a symbol of Jesus's resurrection...! 3 days and nights in the tomb or earth...!

Joe comes and says he has a NEW revelation from God...and it's OTHER than what Jesus said it would be...!

So who are you gonna FAITH ....Joe or Jesus..??

Jesus of course..and that leaves Joe out...!

When I'm around, I'm always no.1

Both.

I was brought up to believe what I do for the past 26 years. It would take something really BIG for me to change my mind. Like it would for a lot of ppl on this forum.

 

[Zyon]

By the way, I forgot to add, I don't believe in a man having more than one wife. However, I DEFINATELY believe that a WOMAN should have as many husbands as she wants.

 

[webboffin]

If the scripture is not directly from the Holy Bible then I wouldn't consider it Christian

 

[Katya]

I don't feel bad at all

Joe Smith is a stone cold liar....You just got sucked into his lies like many others did..!

I don't think he was and I didn't get sucked into anything

There's no shame in leaving that group once the LIGHT has been turned on..!

I almost did leave once. It probably would have been the biggest mistake of my life. It wasn't an easy decision.

 

[TimeBeast]

A lot of people attack Joe Smith for contradicting God... but didn't Jesus himself come along and start changing things? One prime example is the debunking of the 'Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth' principle that had existed since the time of Moses and was God's word. God's changed the rules once before, why can't he change them again?

Time's change, and so do people. Any church that is so proud to claim it is perfect and correct unlike other churches is wrong. I'd say pretty much all churches these days seem comprimised of some truth and some wrong. I doubt one has got it all right.

I'm much more open minded on the situation. I think having been a Mormon has opened my eyes to some truths that other churches have not offered. But on the other hand, other chuches offer things that the Mormons don't, so on and so forth. Find your own truth and don't so abruptly deny others.

 

[Job_38]

No, Jesus made it clear that it was not for individual to follow that law.




I agree with the first part. But I have to say that I disagree with the second part.


Could you show me his prophesies that came true?
