They do not believe as Christians, They believe that Jesus was just a man as you. They believe that Jesus and his Father live on the planet KOLOB. They believe that they will be gods when they die. They do not believe in the Trinity. There is such a long list that I will stop here.
What other Christian faith believes this? One question, Name one Christian faith that is preaching this, other than the Mormons?
They are not Christians no matter what they say. No other Christian faith is even close to the Mormons. They are Mormons not Christians.
You have your nimwitted preacher teaching you what equates to lies about Mormons and you simply, I believe, refuse to listen to any other source.
Why bother with someone like you?
You don't need to believe certain aspects of doctrine to be a Christian. Remember, all you have to do is, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and ye shall be saved." No more and no less. Mormons do that. Any extra stuff about where exactly Jesus is going to come back to earth in the End Times is irrelevant.
By the way, they do not believe that Jesus was "just a man." They believe He is the Son of God, their Saviour and Redeemer, Who will come again in glory to judge both the quick and the dead. That's a far cry from "just a man." Well, He did live as a man for awhile; that's indisputable.
The fact is that the precise nature of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is beyond our feeble human comprehension. A lot of people through the centuries have tried different ways to explain and deal with it. Anybody who understands it differently tends to be branded a heretic and burned at the stake. From God's perspective, this may be unwise. We who thing we understand with our limited human brains may not know everything. Just a word to the wise.
We should not try to judge Mitt Romney's relationship with Christ as only Christ can do that. It might be just a little venturesome to say whether he's a Christian or not. Christ Who hears his prayers might feel that's not our job.
"Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He was the Creator, He is our Savior, and He will be our Judge. Under the direction of our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ created the earth (John 1:10; Hebrews 1:2).
"When Jesus lived on the earth (approximately 2,000 years ago), He led a perfect life. He taught by word and example how people should live in love of God and others.
"Through His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and by giving His life on the cross—that is, by performing the Atonement—Jesus Christ saves us from our sins (1 Peter 2:21) as we follow Him. Because of the Atonement, you can be forgiven of your sins when you sincerely repent (Book of Mormon, Mosiah 26:30).
"Through His Resurrection, Jesus Christ saved us from death. Because He overcame death, we will all be given the gift of resurrection (Acts 24:15; 1 Corinthians 15:22). When life on this earth is over, Jesus Christ will be the final Judge (Acts 17:31; John 5:21–22; Acts 10:42)."
I can find nothing exceptionable in this, can you? I don't agree with other aspects of the LDS faith--for instance, the idea that Jesus came to America to preach after His death and resurrection--but what the heck. That doesn't alter their basic identity as Christian believers.
It's very difficult to understand how a man who believes these fundamental tenets of Christianity could be worse as a candidate than a man who has supported gay marriage, gun control, and partial-birth abortion.
