Same bleat over and over by mormons as evidence that they are 'Christian'. At first I thought it was just the ones here. With expanded reading, it is VERY common, ingrained into their very psyche. I still find it remarkable that it wasn't too long ago they wanted nothing to do with Christianity and took pride in being called mormons. I can't conceive that people as smart as most mormons are so clearly cannot see the nose on their face in a mirror.
It isn’t just here. That is the first ‘defense’ the LDS use and use it a lot because it is effective to those who don’t know better.
I have a friend, who when she got saved, told her LDS husband “I got saved while you were gone (he was out to sea), now I am a Christian just like you!”
His response was, he bellowed “I AM NOT A ‘CHRISTIAN’! I AM A MORMON”.
That was before they decided to jump on the ‘Christian’ bandwagon.
