As for the apocrypha, it does not lead to any theological difference (if you can name one, let us hear it). This is how it is distinguished from Mormon’s extra Biblical writings.

Another case of you defining "that which I believe is true". If it agrees with your doctrine, it is "true apocrypha", if not, it is simply "extra biblical scripture". Proof doesn't work by categorically excluding examples that disagree with your argument. You tried that before with the "name a Christian sect that agrees Mormons are Christians" tack.

It’s funny that you accuse me of horrors for denying that Mormons are Christian, yet you are so adamant that Christians aren’t Mormon.

What "horrors", besides being offensive to politically conservative allies, have I accused you of? I don't know why it is so difficult for you to understand that I reject your narrow definition of "Christian". You cannot impose your definition through repetition. The thief who accepted Christ on the cross was a Christian, yet would have looked upon the Greek philosophies of Trinitarianism as incomprehensible.

And you have still yet to explain why Mormon’s so discriminated against Christians in Utah.

Because I reject your premise. 100% of the Republican vote in Utah was for a Christian candidate. What discrimination? I have thoroughly explained why Romney won Utah.

No, the Bible defines what is true. And denominations that believe in the apocrypha do not draw from it any doctrines that conflict with the Bible.

Mormon’s through their extra-Biblical works do draw doctrines that conflict with the Bible, which I started a short list of and you have avoided. Repeatedly.

The thief on the Cross would have called himself a Jew, not a Christian. I would guess that Christ would have called him a Jew.

You’re ignoriing the exlusive claims of Mormonism and why they conflict with Christian belief. You can acknowledge that Mormon’s claim exclusivity in their beliefs, but can’t bring yourself to see how those beliefs conflict with Biblical Christian beliefs.

You’ve accused me of being Anti-Mormon, oblivious, offensive, etc.

The Bible imposes it’s definition. By accepting doctrines outside God’s Word one ceases to be Christian. I don’t see how this is so difficult to accept. It’s actually quite simple.

You’ve only explained why Romney won Utah, not why he won it so disproportionate when compared to other states. Look at this site. Christians galore supporting Romney.

Look at Utah. The opposite is not true.
