Well, you would be wrong in that assessment...this incident happened in 1989....that was 18 years ago, and I have never once called the Mormon Church and request any additional information from them...there is a Mormon church just a 10 minute drive from my house, and I have never been there, or visited there....I have JW acquaintances, I have 7th Day Adventists friends and I have never requested any information from them regarding their particular religons....

I try to take people by their actions, and usually dont inquire about their own particular religious faith...sometimes ones faith does come in conversatons with people but that happens in the course of conversation...

But I have never inquired about the Mormon faith from the LDS church, nor do I intend to...

Am I correct in my assessment that you do not consider Mormons to be Christians, or am I mistaken?...just wondering...I got this meaning from your last sentence,and sorry if I have misinterpreted it...thanks for your replies...

I don’t view Mormonism as Christian. I has born into an LDS home, baptized at age 8, and just last week resigned my position as “member.” I have been inactive in the LDS Church since about 1984. Only recently when I was converted to Christianity have I started openly discussing the ways I view Mormonism as a heresy of Christianity.

BTW all of my family members are Mormon. One cannot rightly say I hate Mormons. I love a large number of Mormons. I hate it that Mormonism takes them far, far away from the Savior, Jesus Christ as written in the Bible. The religion has distorted the teachings of Christianity. For that reason I fight against Mormonism.

Mormons are very, very good at being good people. Many are very, very bad at humility and admitting their own sins. They are “proud” as one poster put it. They do not look to the Savior for salvation, but as their own article of faith #3 states:

“We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.”

They think their own perfect obedience and works will earn them Exaltation and godhood. It isn’t a Christian teaching. This is just one example
