It's an Abrahamic religion, just like Judaism and Islam. They all believe in the same God and are monotheistic. Each has different doctrines and practices, which separates them.

Hence if they are not a follower of Judaism or Islam, then - gasp! they are Christians.


Get over it and move on. It's just rhetoric to say otherwise. Typical "mine is better, yours is wrong" kindergarten bullshit.

Bad logic.


If not a Jew or a Muslim they MUST BE Christians!!!!


Bah.


They are Mormons.


Jew. Muslim. Mormon.


Christian is better used a cover-word for anyone that sees Jesus as the son-of-God and a deity.

No that is the accepted definition.

Sorry it doesn't fit your ideals.

Eo, you do realize that you are arguing that Orthodox religions are the only Christian religions there are right?


It's preposterous.



It's just taking the same line of stupid its its logical conclusion. If Mormons arn't "real" Christians neither are 90% of American Christians.

Except that christians are not monotheistic, unless you do not consider Jesus to be anything more than human.

lol another one of these.

I find it funny how fast we are to tell others what they believe in.

I found their articles of faith. This is their religions cliff notes so to speak.


1.
We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2.
We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.
3.
We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
4.
We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5.
We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6.
We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
7.
We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
8.
We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9.
We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10.
We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11.
We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12.
We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13.
We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul-We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Here's another prime example of whackdoodle religious silliness.


Since morman made-up silliness isn't exactly like our made-up silliness they aren't christians.


Seriously, do you religious folks even take 15 seconds to think before you pass out bizarro judgements?

Christians believe Jesus to be the Son of God and their Messiah.


Not God.


Good try though.

Whether Christianity is monotheistic or not is actually one of the oldest debates in the church.
