Believe whatever you wish!

They don’t believe in the Trinity.

They believe you can achieve “godhood like Christ” did.

They are a works driven faith that believe those who lead excemplatory lives will get a “planet” and “virgins”.

Not at all Christian.

Never mind about their other books that take priority over the Bible - ah, because the Bible was “corrupted”. So young hormone driven Smith comes along and dreams up polygamy as okay as well as other false teachings. His flawed teachings continue ... and what makes LDS or Mormonism unChristian.

Hey redrock, long time no see.

Believe whatever you wish!

Thank you, we only ask one more thing, let us tell others what we believe since you simply don't know, thank you.

They don’t believe in the Trinity.

That is correct, we do not believe the unBiblical concept of the Trinity added by the emperor Constantine to make Christianity more palatable tot he newly re-united Roman Empire and as a reward for the church bowing to his will he made the Catholic Church, the Roman Catholic church the state religion of Rome. This is not some fantasy of mine, the Catholic Church admits it in their web site, at this link: Newadvent.org
I have explained this and have other scriptures that go with this at this link: http://www.freerepublic.com/~delphiuser/#TheTrinity

They believe you can achieve “godhood like Christ” did.

No, we believe we can achieve God hood through the Son for we will inherit all that he hath.

They are a works driven faith that believe those who lead excemplatory lives will get a “planet” and “virgins”.

There is no "Planet" and no "Virgins" given as a reward in Mormon doctrine.

We believe in being doers of the word, not hearers only: James 1:22-25
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
It takes faith, and works, not faith only, not works only.

Not at all Christian.

There is only one who can determine if we are or are not Christian, and you are not him.

Never mind about their other books that take priority over the Bible -

They don't, the Book of Mormon says "ANOTHER TESTAMENT OF JESUS CHRIST " it's on the title page. Another, the Bible was and is first.

ah, because the Bible was “corrupted”.

Well, it was, that is provable, but you don't want to hear, so it is written let him who hath ears to hear let him hear.

So young hormone driven Smith comes along and dreams up polygamy as okay as well as other false teachings.

The Pharisees said almost the same thing of Jesus.

His flawed teachings continue ... and what makes LDS or Mormonism unChristian.

A prophet is hard to follow, he often calls upon the proud to repent, they don't like that.

There is a prophet, and he teaches what God tells him to, and he writes new scriptures when commanded to. Revelations speaks of Prophets in the future tense, that time is now. Godspeed, may he enlighten your soul.

"They are a works driven faith....."

Someone said once...(and I'm sure you know, or should know, who) that "Faith...without works...is dead."

Sounds to me that works are kinda important.

But you know that I don't have the Supreme Knowledge that all of you LDS haters have.

Funny how all of you are so full of hate. Guess you forgot the 2 Greatest Commandment's....as expressed by the One you supposedly follow.

p.s. The concept of the Trinity, as promoted by the Council of Nicea and a pagan Constintine(sort of like 3-in-one oil) was a concept the Early Christians (say the first 300 years after Christ) did NOT believe in. It does not even fit into Jewish Traditions...but it DOES fit neatly into Greek and Roman religious views.
