I thought Mormons are Christians?
They believe in Jesus Christ, but they don't believe in the Trinity. They believe that Jesus Christ is the brother of Satan. They believe in the need to follow ordinances as a means of attaining higher levels of Salvation. They believe that Jesus Christ only died for the sins of Adam and Eve, not for the sin that people commit today.
They believe that people can become what God is now, and that God used to be a mortal man just like the men on Earth are now. They believe that God has a father and his father has a father. The believe in many Gods. (10 Commandments speak of something to the effect: "For I am a jealous God and there are no other Gods, I know not one."
There's much more to it than that, but to me, that's enough to convince me that they are not a true Christian theology, and a dangerous Church to place one's belief.
Like most any church, there are a lot of wonderful people in the Church, but from my observations, they are not critical thinking people. And that makes sense because the LDS Church doesn't want members to be critical thinkers. Then they would want answers to questions like "How much does our leadership receive in monies from the Church?" That by the way is a strictly held secret.

We are Christians, but some will try to tell you we not Christians because we do not agree with their interpretation of the Bible. I find it interesting how often I have been judged on this forum by those claiming to follow Jesus Christ who specifically commanded them not to judge. Oh well…
