The Bible clearly teaches that NO ONE is a Christian except those who have the faith of Christ and believe in the Grace of God WITHOUT WORKS of their own hands...
Mormon's are HUGE WORKS oriented focused and and DO NOT respect that Christ Jesus DIED for ALL SINS and that we now live in the Grace of God, not of men's works. Christ Jesus is the ONLY mediator between God and men: the Man Christ Jesus. Period.
The Bible and God answer is: NO.
Just a few thoughts on this exchange of views.
By the way, I am not Mormon and will probably not convert. I am more interested in the present-day reality of the LDS faith than its origins, as I tried to say earlier.
If as some have told me, the concept of Mormon integrity is “satanic” then can you also explain why (to my view at least) the Mormon people lead essentially good spiritual lives, why they seem to be on the right side of social questions that Satanic influences are obviously working on the other side (e.g., gay marriage), why there is an overall similarity in the culture of evangelical Christians and Mormons? I don’t see much evidence of Satan’s work there. As to blended theology being “satanic” that is a misreading of what I said, which was that in the Kingdom, there would be the opportunity for various current denominations to reach a similar understanding. I mean, how could it be otherwise, unless you accept that only one group is saved and everyone else is excluded? That is the JW approach and I realize it exists in all Christian denominations. That is not my fault. And I don’t believe that, it does not speak of a loving and just God, but an arbitrary and almost random God (a Satanic concept as far as I can see).
I think people might have read too little into my New Jerusalem comments, I stated that the Mormon church cultivated an “automatic” need in American culture to see the New Jerusalem as being on American soil, or at least shall we say directly relevant to American experience. Personally, I think the Mormons will come to view Utah and not Missouri as the actual location, in fact I’m surprised they didn’t reach that conclusion earlier. It is almost self-evident when you go there. Their concept of the Temple Lot in Missouri might be some sort of premature or superceded vision.
The irony is that almost nobody in either group is receptive to the concept of equality before God. Throw in the added complexity of Roman Catholicism and the Orthodox faith, and you’ve clearly got almost no chance of an “understanding” or meeting of the minds. That to me is the Satanic part. I’m not talking about Islam and Buddhism and the Hindu faith here, I’m talking about various basically authentic forms of Christianity that cannot seem to accept each other’s legitimacy. Perhaps one is right and the others are wrong. That’s certainly what Mormons believe and there I disagree with them.
