Jesus is not a main figure in the church. Nor do they believe that his death and resurrection was for the forgiveness of our sins. So, no, it is not a Christian religion, despite the pr inspired name change that occurred in the 1970's.

I'm sorry, you were saying something about atheists and I got interrupted by the Jehovah's Witnesses at my door.

I'll see your so-called compulsion and raise you a gospel:

Mark 16:15-16 (KJV))

15. And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Why is this thread on trashing Mormons turning into a thread on trashing Christians? Oh, that's right, because that's the path every thread takes. Carry on....

I'm sorry, did we interrupt your desire to trash one Christian faith by lumping all of you in together? How unreasonable of us. We'll just let you go back to dissing one religion without pointing out your apparent hypocrisy by not applying the same rigorous intellectual standards to the beliefs, tenets and practices of your own religion.

You're responding to me, and I'm also 8:54 who criticized you for trashing the Mormons. I don't understand this childish compulsion to trash anybody else's form of belief.

Or go to a Mormon ward service and see for yourself. It's obviously not a Christian denomination. And that's ok! Not everything has to be.

right, disregard facts and go to a service and "see for yourself" that it's what pp says it is. It's not just "OK" with pp that moronism is not christianity, it's essential to pp that people disregard how Mormons perceive themselves and instead see it pp's way - the ONE TRUE WAY?

It is the husband who knows the wife's secret name and only he can pull her through the veils (symbolically done during the wedding ceremony in the temple) into Heaven. A woman by herself cannot get into the top, Celestial, Heaven on her own. Period. Her husband must take her in. Here's what the past president of the church said about it.

If God wants you in his top heaven, He will put you there. Your husband has no sayin the matter.

Mormons use the same words as mainline Christianity, but their meanings are much different. It only takes about 10 minutes of research to figure out that Mormons are not Christian. Just let them be what they are.

I talked to my temple-going, garment-wearing LDS neighbor about this topic. She said she doesn't feel the need to be in the priesthood because her husband passes all of the blessings on to her. I respectfully told her that the historical Jesus spoke out against temples and hierarchies and such, and that he treated men and women equally. She was speechless. I guess they skipped this lesson at the Relief Society.

Mormonism could be viewed as a Christian heresy.

Christianity could be viewed as a Jewish heresy.

Islam could be viewed as a Christian heresy. Actually, it probably is closer to Judaism and could be viewed as well as a Jewish heresy that also accepts Jesus as a prophet.

My goodness! If you truly believe that the "facts" you noted from the Mormon website are correct, why on earth would you be concerned with someone attending a service? Anyone that attends a service or, even better, a sacrament meeting, would be capable of making their own conclusions about the LDS faith. Isn't Taft what all that "free agency" is for PP?

Pardon the typo. Should read isn't that not isn't Taft.

the official Mormon website is the most accurate source of what Mormons believe. They believe they are Christians. If you don't think so, fine, but that is your personal opinion.

Some people don't think Roman Catholics are Christians, but that doesn't change the fact that they are Christian -- and were long before the various Protestant denominations. And it says nothing about the validity of Catholic beliefs. The same holds for any other religion.

Just another example of indoctrination -- you only learn what they want you to learn.

These days, when so much objective information is available, it's harder for religions to assume that their teachings won't be contradicted by outside information.

That stuff about Jesus treating men and women equally is a new twist, too -- in some mainstream religions -- didn't use to hear much about that. It was all about women obeying their husbands.
