If you studied their doctrines, you would find that Mormons, Christian Scientists, and Jehovah's Witnesses differ from Biblical Christianity. In fact, each has its own scripture outside the Bible. Many Christians regard these groups as non-Christian cults. However, most Christians are either Catholic, eastern Orthodox, or Protestant, and those groups all use basically the same Bible and hold to the same creeds. They differ, sometime bitterly, on how the church should be organized and run. That's a human failing. It does not affect the validity or value of essential shared Christian beliefs.
Ah, but you have made my point...you have made a judgement that certain religions that consider themselves to be Christian, do not rank as Christian because they differ from other Christian religions...you are not the one to be the judge of whether they are Christians or not...
I still disagree completely with your contention that differing churches have only minor differences..you yourself, have seemed to have decided that certain relgions cannot be considered as Christian based on your own personal beliefs...
You have completely proved my point..and I am not a Christian Scientist, nor a Mormon, nor a Jehovahs Witness, but I find your characterization of them to be merely your own personal observation and you have come to your own personal views regarding them...These three religions encompass millions and millions of people they are not minor religions...that does not make them nor their dogmas right, simply based on numbers, any more than it makes any other religion right, based on their numbers...
As I said, I disagree completely with what you have to say...you and I just dont see this in the same way...
