If you keep saying that Mormonism is a "cult" and that ALL of Christianity says it is, then no, we can't just "move on".

I have stated that Methodists do NOT ( and they didn't 50 years ago, either ) consider Mormonism to be a cult. Others have done searches and neither do the Presbyterians ( please use the link that WAS provided ), the Lutherans, nor the Episcopalians!

And I am STILL waiting for you to tell me IF Judaism is a "cult" or not.

Also, I want to know how you know that you are three years older than a poster who has NOT posted any age. How OLD are YOU? :-)

You said -- "And I am STILL waiting for you to tell me IF Judaism is a "cult" or not."

I thought I did answer that. I said that Jesus, Himself, practiced the Jewish religion and therefore He did not engage in cultic practices (by definition).

The "standard" we use (in the Christian church) is that whatever Jesus did forms a standard and can define things for us. Jesus was a practicing Jew. He did not engage in cultic practices. What Jesus did says all there is to know about it.

AND, in addition to that, the first "converts" were all practicing Jews.

What does that say for it?

After two thousand years, the Gentiles have surpassed the number of Jews, so the Gentiles don't know very much about the Jewish practices. But, those Gentiles who have accepted Christ (in the manner that the Bible instructs us), we recognize that Jesus will be coming back to His homeland -- Israel. And He will rule and reign over Israel and all the nations of the world, at that time. That's what all those who are looking for the Messiah, are waiting to see.


You also said -- "Also, I want to know how you know that you are three years older than a poster who has NOT posted any age. How OLD are YOU? :-)"

Well, you give me your age and I'll tell you to subtract or add a number of years for my age. How's that?

Otherwise, I could tell you I voted for Nixon.
