I am a Christian. I base my life around Him the con-man Joseph Smith's lies. I do so because of my Mormon faith. Whether you like it or not, that is(what I have been taught is) the truth

Calling yourself a Christian does not make you one. No more so than Chevy Chase could claim that he is a Bel Aire. A self appointed title does not make one something. If that were the case, then I suppose that Hillary is qualified to be president...because she told us she was.

~”Calling yourself a Christian does not make you one.”~

You calling me non-Christian doesn’t negate the fact that I am one. How do you justify claiming for yourself Christ’s own authority to determine who is and who is not His follower? That seems like a very un-Christian thing to do.

Changing someone else's words does not make you a truth teller.

Calling yourself a Christian does not make you one.

Saying we are not Mormon does not make that true either. (same logic) There is a way, a Biblical way to know if we are Christians, Put our religion to "The Test"

No more so than Chevy Chase could claim that he is a Bel Aire. A self appointed title does not make one something.

The title comes from here Matthew 10:32
32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
I confess that I believe in Jesus Christ, I have prayed about the Bible and the Book of Mormon, and received an answer from God that They are true and that Jesus died for my sins on the cross at Calvary. I further testify that all can receive this witness of Christ through the process described in both the Bible and the Book of Mormon.

If that were the case, then I suppose that Hillary is qualified to be president...because she told us she was.

Crhistianity is not up to you or to Hillary, Mormons being Christian is not up to a vote, the question is do we believe in Jesus and does Jesus accept us. I hate to be the one to inform you, but you don't get a say in whether or not I am a Christian, but I do.

Thank you for playing, your quarter will not be returned to you.
