Are Mormons Christians?

[Anonymous]

Why do Mormons call themselves Christian? You do not recognize people outside of your church as fellow believers, so why not just call yourself something else?
Christ is just an afterthought for you. The rest is about angels, golden scripts and Joseph Smith

Christ is a prophet in Islam, yet they do not call themselves Christians
Christmas even gets a mention

I’m the former Mormon who posted the long post up thread. I’m not sure where you’re getting this information, but Christ is absolutely central to both beliefs and practice for Mormons. Christ just talked about far more than angels or Joseph Smith. The golden scripts i assume you mean the golden plates that they believe the Book of Mormon was originally inscribed on. Certainly they talk about the Book of Mormon a lot but the point of all scripture is to teach about Christ.

No. Christians do not recognize Mormons as Christian.

They are their own cult.

Who gets to decide who gets to call themselves a Christian?

The correct name of the religion is: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

so that sounds pretty Christian to me.

Jim Jones and all the other cults sounded like great Christian places as well. Just because an institution claims the name "Christian" or "Christ" does not mean that its members are Christians. A sucker is born each day. Cults are manipulative and have a way of luring people in. Somehow Church of Satanic Demons will drive people away. So, cults have to utilize a catchy marketing name to attract misguided people into their camp.

Mormonism is a cult. It was founded by a delusional white supremacist. Their teachings do not align with the historical roots of Christianity or Jesus Christ for that matter. Mormonism was created for the preservation of whiteness. They do not follow the teachings of Christ, but the teachings of Joseph Smith. Also, this cult was created in the United States. Last time I checked the historical and geographical origins of Christianity are not in the United States.

Their teachings contradict the fundamental elements which align with Christians and Christianity. Mormonism is cult. Heck, now they send their young adult children all over the world on missions to convince the folks in impoverished communities to join them. Whenever I witness this I step in and rescue these people. The Mormons incessant need to manipulate and prey on people solidifies them as a cult. This is a growing problem that needs to be dealt with. Mormons are vultures who prey on the weak.

I am an advocate for those who leave cults. I have counseled many people over the years who had left the cult of Mormonism.

Mormons are not Christians!

Let's get real - Catholics don't recognize other religions as equal to them. Or JWs, or Adventists, or pretty much any religion.

However, I'm concerned if Mormons don't believe that the only way to heaven is through faith in Jesus. I'm not feeling the reliance on a husband bit. That's anti-biblical

I suggest that you don't worry about Mormons path to heaven or being anti-biblical. Seems like all religions differ from each other in various was and there are some people don't believe in heaven at all.

Unless you feel a need to convert all people who have religious views that are different from yours.

Go down the internet rabbit hole and learn about the 2nd Annointing. Then come back and tell me that Christ is important if you are someone who gets the 2nd Annointing.

Catholics do recognize protestants and orthodox as Christians
This has been the case from the 60s when there was a policy change by the pope

As a former Mormon, l can tell in you practise there is equal emphasis and time spent on the Bible and Book of Mormon in Sunday school etc

The name was created for marketing/PR purposes, to normalize the religion.

Definition of a Christian is a member of the mainstream Christian churches, one who is able to recognize a member from another denomination as also a Christian.
Such a person can visit and attend service in any church and be seen as a fellow believer.
Mormons do not see a Lutheran or an episcopalian as a fellow believer, but as a mission field that needs to be converted.

Once you add the belief that only members of your church are people who will be saved
then you are too exclusionary

This definition is new to me. I grew up in Texas and met many, many evangelicals who did not see Catholics as Christians. I remember in 1999 when a lot of them were told by their church that Y2K was the end times, girls I played basketball with "laying hands" on me and weeping and praying that I would accept Jesus and be saved by the blood of the lamb so I wouldn't have to burn in hell forever, as I was clearly destined to do. So I guess Assemblies of God, Church of Christ, and Pentecostal aren't Christian either? Or is it that Catholic isn't Christian?

I'm not convinced this question means anything in the first instance. If you say a Mormon is not Christian, and they say they are, you don't "win." And we know that they say they are Christian, so what's the point of trying to prove they aren't?
