His fantastical claims have all been debunked and some of them by the SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION. Go read up on what they have to say abnout him.
And no, the entirety of Christendom does NOT back him up. Methodist do NOT consider Mormonism to be a "cult". Nor, for that matter, Hinduism and Buddhism either.
Thank you for that. That disproves this whole fantasy. The claim is that *all* churches and *all* theologians think exactly the same thing - that Mormonism is a cult. Since the Methodists do not. The whole claim is disproven now.
You said -- "Nor, for that matter, Hinduism and Buddhism either."
Didn't you catch the part where I said it was considered a non-Christian cult and that "cult" was in Christian terminology and theology? I thought I made that clear. It's a *Christian designation*. It comes from the fact that "Christianity" has *core essential belief* -- for which one cannot boil them down to any lower common denominator.
Now, Hinduism and Buddhism neither claim to be Christian. So, they do not try to make any pretense at that. Even so, in Christian terminology and Christian theology -- they would be cults.
This is a specific definition having to do with "core Christianity" which would be agreeable across the board with the historic and traditional Christian churches and as affirmed by the Bible, as the only authoritative source for these core essentials.
Now, as far as Methodists are concerned, I'll have to look into what they consider their core beliefs, and/or their statement of faith. I'll find out that for you, if you wish.
AND, as you've already seen -- here -- on this thread, there have been several people who have already affirmed that, yes, Mormonism is a non-Christian cult.
