The major problem Christians; have with Mormons is that some Mormon scriptures are not from The Bible and are not scripture. I find this very interesting,as I understand it, unless it comes from The Bible it is not Scripture. Oh, if you are Catholic the books of the Aprophca don't seem to change your Christianity. The big problem is that Protestants and Catholics both accept The Nicean Creed written at a conference called by Emporer Constantin to get uniformity in Christian belief in The Roman Empire. This creed is no more scripture than the laws passed by Rome. The Savior and The Apostles were dead, the creed was not in The Bible. Is their a little problem with the logic?? I will quote only one scripture,Matt:24-35,36.Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man but MY FATHER ONLY"

One problem with your argument.

Christians have never claimed the Nicean Creed (or an other Creed for that matter) to be Scripture, otherwise it would inserted in to the Bible. They are simply statements that define what is believed.

So there really is no “big problem” logically or otherwise...

At least among Christians...

The major problem Christians; have with Mormons is

.....well, here's just ONE example!

After almost 180 years of mormons and mormon leaders demeaning Christians and Christianity...

Apostle Bruce R. McConkie (1915 - 1985):


"...the Book of Mormon remains secure, unchanged and unchangeable, ...But with the Bible it was not and is not so....it was once in the sole and exclusive care and custody of an abominable organization [Christianity], founded by the devil himself, likened prophetically unto a great whore, whose great aim and purpose was to destroy the souls of men in the name of religion. In these hands it ceased to be the book it once was."

- Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, The Joseph Smith Translation, pp. 12, 13

“Believers in the doctrines of modern Christendom will reap damnation to their souls.”

- Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, see pp. 45-46

“... all the millions of apostate Christendom have abased themselves before the mythical throne of a mythical Christ.... in large part the worship of apostate Christendom is performed in ignorance, as much so as was the worship of the Athenians who bowed the Unknown Gods.”

- Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, pp. 269, 374-375
 

NOW, mormons demand to be called "Christian" and spend millions on a PR campaign towards this goal.

At the same time, see below the kind of false "Christianity" that is coming from the mormon church.




PhotobucketThe mormon church is out to completely falsify our God and His Son, Jesus Christ..."premortal", "restoration"...just in time for Easter. Click on the image for the REAL truth.
