Well a lot of Muslims must be Christians then...proof of a Christian is that they stay married and have lots of children?...Lots of Orthodox Jews do that! Mormons do that too!

I do believe that might be contrary to the written Word of God. “There is One Mediator between God and man - the Man Christ Jesus.” Mary died for no one! Mary has no power to forgive sin! Mary had to have her own sin forgiven! Mary did not ascend into heaven and she was not raised from the dead! Mary does not sit at the right hand of God with all power and authority — only Jesus has that role.

My years have taught me that the litmus test of a REAL Christian is marriage and birth control. Real Christians stay married till death and have as many children as God sends. They don't use birth control. If I see a person who calls themselves Christian and is divorced and remarried, I know that they are hypocrites. If I see a couple with no children because they use birth control, I know they have not in God's Grace.How many Christians like that do you know?

In that respect ANY people that stay married with one wife and have as many children as God sends, behave more Christian than people who call themselves Christian. However, the few groups that you mentioned, don't call themselves Christian.

How many Christians do you know that stay married for life and have as many children as God sends? Not too many in this world.
