Thanks for your honesty. There seem to be a lot of Mormons who call themselves Christians. So if someone claims to be a Christian or claims to follow the Gospel of Jesus Christ, or to follow Jesus Christ, then I am prompted to clarify that Christianity and Mormonism are two separate religions, they are not the same. It is a danger to Christianity to have people who do not believe in orthodox Christianity claim the name of Christian or of Jesus Christ.

Please explain, how does unorthodox Christianity threaten orthodox Christianity?

Seems to me like we’re all on the same side.

That would be because we are, we just are not orthodox. Do you know that orthodox means? I means that men took a vote and reached a consensus. We disagree with the consensus because we believe the nature of God is not up for a vote.

So if someone claims to be a Christian or claims to follow the Gospel of Jesus Christ, or to follow Jesus Christ, then I am prompted to clarify that Christianity and Mormonism are two separate religions, they are not the same.

Then you are wrong. Orthodoxy is not the arbiter of Christianity, Jesus is. The Catholics consider all protestants to be “Unorthodox” does that make you any less a Christian?

I always find it interesting when some well meaning Christian tries to tell another they cannot possibly be Christian (yes it happens to other religions too) What a position to take, to think that you can judge not only my heart, but the heart of millions of Mormons and deny them belief in Jesus Christ. Deny them that which only Jesus has the right to, salvation.

I submit that Membership in no religion guarantees you salvation, and similarly membership in no religion denies you the possibility of being saved through Jesus Christ.

It is a danger to Christianity to have people who do not believe in orthodox Christianity claim the name of Christian or of Jesus Christ.

Why? I think Jesus can take care of him self, those who misuse his name will answer to him.

“It is a danger to Christianity to have people who do not believe in orthodox Christianity claim the name of Christian or of Jesus Christ.”

This is what I’m talking about. Now we are ‘DANGEROUS’ people because we claim Jesus Christ as our Savior.

Oh, for God’s sake, will you please knock off this nonsense.

I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ died for me and for all mankind - once and for all. Apparently you think He died for you but not for me.
