No, the topic is about Mormons not leading Scouts. Per Wickie "28 varieties of Christianity and 38 faith groups are recognized by BSA for religious awards." One in 9 Boy Scouts are Mormon. So they are not Christian?

You confuse me sometimes. And so do you.

Well, let's see:
Mormons believe God was a man who got the god job;
the Mormon jesus is a "saved being" (Lds apostle Bruce McConkie)
Many gods exist...Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are 3 separate gods...and then there's a Mom-god...and Joseph Smith says the "council of gods" god together and the head god appointed a god for this earth...so there's a # of other gods...and then temple Mormons believe they'll become gods, adding to the god population.

Now does that sound "Christian?"

Try again. Go back and re-read our convo.

I made a comment about the wife being upset because they don’t consider her Christian even though she has a picutre of Jesus on her wall.

You responded with some Christians have pictures of Jesus on their wall.

Then we discussed if Mormons are Christians. I argued NO because of their beliefs, you stated that was just my opinion (which it is not) and NOW you are changing the subject.

BSA also recognized other Non Christian groups, just because Moromons are in BSA doesn’t make them Christian anymore than a muslim in BSA would be a Christian.

Mormons are NOT Christian based upon their beliefs.

And, yes, I agree you are confused.

You've confused yourself. (or are trying to confuse us)

religious? - Yes.
Mormon? - Yes.
Christian? - No.
