I thought the LDS made a point of not wanting to be called Christians when they were first starting out. Was that the case or have always called themselves Christian?

It was an issue; since then, it's become quite a coveted brand issue.

Still, Joseph Smith tried to dump all worldwide Christians into a spiritual graveyard and declare them "dead." (A religious "scorched earth" approach).

After all, if Christianity wasn't declared "dead," Smith and his so-called "restoration" became superflous. (No need for him)

That's why Smith declared all of Christianity to be "apostate." "Corrupt professors." 100% of us.

Those who preach "tolerance" should start with the way Smith & his leaders spiritually treated Christians from the 1830s on.

The two questions I have is this, if the Mormons call themselves “Christian” why do traditional Christians do not accept the Mormon baptism and also why the extra book called the “Book of Mormon”, which in Revelation there is a warning not to either add or subtract from, the Holy Bible?
