“It has been just recently that the Mormons have started this new Campaign to have the world refer them as “Christians”.

And if you do not call them Christians you are a bigot.”

I recently read a book written about an ex-mormon, and when he described the struggle his mormon wife had with his disillusionment her response was that she was NOT going to become a christian!

I’m not sure why it is so offensive to say the mormon teaching cannot fall under the definition of “christian”.

Even with all the different denominations in christianity, the issues that divide are not nearly as severe as a church that teaches God was a man. That Christ was conceived when “God” had normal human relations with Mary. That God grew into what he is now, and that we also can become “gods”

This is so far out in left field, it isn’t even close.
When baptists and catholics argue about baptism or communion, I don’t see those issues nearly as insurmountable as the claim that humans can become gods.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

Come on, tell the truth. Christ was conceived in the normal manner, you know an egg meet the sperm.

There is no mention HOW the egg and sperm came together, the idea of “normal human relations” is a miss leading set of words to make you feel, so you will not think. Some one is miss leading you and on this, you have bought the bridge.
