All three major branches of the Christian church, Protestant, Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox reject Mormonism as being a Christian religion. All agree it is non-Christian because all Mormon basic beliefs are contrary to historical Christianity. There are so many re-definitions that Christianity is gone, and it's something else.

Some in Mormonism don't care. But if you do, write me, I'll be glad to teach you the distinctions so that you can decide for yourself. I'll guarantee you what I'll show you, your leaders haven't told you these things. Then you can research and see the facts, and decide for yourself.

One easy example: Christianity teaches there is only ONE God. LDS teaches God is the God of THIS universe, but that there are many other Gods out there, and that their men get to become Gods after their next life, IF they do such and such here. That's not Christianity!

Study the OT in light of the NT. Jesus said the OT Scriptures spoke of Him. Isaiah spoke of Him. He also said His Word was not to be added to or subracted from. Joseph Smith and Brigham Young's claimed revelations from God, can't be from God, because they add to the Word. And because of alot of other reasons. Blessings to you.

That's not Christianity! In the most polite way possible, I must disagree. Mormonism is a branch of Protestant Christianity. -We believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. -We believe in the Godhead... and that it consists of 3 separate entities- Heavenly Father, Jesus, Holy Ghost. -We read and believe the Old and New Testaments, in addition to the Book of Mormon, and the Doctrine and Covenants. -We believe that true Christianity was taken from the earth after the original apostles fell apart, because nobody held the keys of the Priesthood. This is called the Apostasy, and lasted until 1830, when Jesus Christ restored His church to the earth through his servant, Joseph Smith. I happen to be related directly to Joseph's older brother. -We believe that Jesus was resurrected on the 3rd day, and that we too will be resurrected in our own due time, in a glorified state. -All people on this earth will be resurrected, regardless of if they do or if they don't do certain things. The only requirement for resurrection is birth. Congratulations on a big step. -We do not believe that we will become gods. We are created in God's image, and we strive for perfection, as Jesus was perfect. We are promised that when we are resurrected that 'not one hair will be lost from your head', so that, in a sense, we will be perfected. -We know that nobody on the earth is perfect, nor can anybody be perfect. The list goes on and on. I'm an openminded individual, I'd be glad to hear your side of the issue.
