    Default Are Mormons Christian?

    “Are Mormons Christian?” Since the 1820s, when Joseph Smith founded the religious movement, evangelicals and other orthodox Christians have answered with a resounding “no.”

    What do the board christians say?
    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.

    Mormons are Christian as much as Christians are Jewish.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

    Not really. They believe that Jesus and Satan are brothers. How does that fit in with your beliefs? On the surface they seem to be much the same, however they believe that everybody, even those who don't believe in Jesus at all, will receive some form of salvation. So, to them I get to go to Heaven as a Buddhist who hasn't murdered somebody or become apostate from Mormonism, I will just not ever enter the inner circle heaven that those with the secret handshakes get into. The "celestial" heaven, where they get their own planet and get to be God.

    In Mormonism, Jesus is a spiritual brother to you and I and it isn't his pure sacrifice that brings salvation.

    My guess is you'll find some of these beliefs to mean they believe in something other than Jesus the Christ of your New Testament.

    It is because of just a few of these differences that I say what I said. Mormons are as much Christians as Christians are Jews. Their religion teaches a different form of salvation, and it isn't a simple belief in the Divinity of Christ, or even anything about his pure sacrifice, that will get you into their inner circle or "celestial heaven".

    "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints".

    Sounds like it to me.

    My question: Is Scientology a Church?

    Is that true? If so it explains a lot of their behavior. They really stick together and don't want much to do with anyone else socially, I found when living in Idaho.

    Yeah. It's true. They don't say it quite that way, but it is true.
