"A cult of Christianity is a group of people, which claiming to be Christian, embraces a particular doctrinal system taught by an individual leader, group of leaders, or organization, which (system) denies (either explicitly or implicitly) one or more of the central doctrines of the Christian faith as taught in the sixty-six books of the Bible." - Alan Gomes
"Mormons believe that their church is ''the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth' (D&C 1:30), the only organization authorized by the Almighty to preach his gospel and administer to ordinances of salvation, the only Church which has the power to save'' (Mormon Doctrine , 1977 ed., p. 136). Mormons either deny or pervert every essential doctrine of historic Christianity, including the uniqueness of Christ, the virgin birth, the Trinity, the authority of Scripture (by relegating it to a position below their other sacred writings), and salvation by grace through faith." -Charts of Cults, Sects, & Religious Movements
(1)The Mormon Jesus Christ (2)The Biblical Jesus Christ
(1)A created being: the elder brother of Lucifer
(2)Uncreated God
(1)Common (one of many gods) and, in some ways, of minor important in the larger Mormon cosmology
(2)Unique (the Second Person of the one and only Godhead) and of supreme importance through time, eternity and all creation
(1)Conceived by a physical sex act between God the Father (Adam or Elohim) and Mary, thus not through a true virgin birth
(2)Conceived by the Holy Spirit, who supernaturally "overshadowed" Mary, thus a true virgin birth
(1)Once sinful and imperfect
(2)Eternally sinless and perfect
(1)Earned his own salvation (exaltation, godhood)
(2)As God, never required salvation
(1)A married polygamist?
(2)An unmarried monogamist
Tell me, are any of these true about Mormonism? Then it is a cult, and called such for good reason.
