I agree with the author (citing Richard Land) when he describes Mormonism as a “fourth Abrahamic religion.” Mormonism is to Christianity as Christianity is to Judaism: it incorporates the scripture of the older faith but adds so much new material to it that it becomes a separate new religion.

Mormons may consider themselves to be Christians in the same way that early Christians considered themselves to be “completed” Jews. But for a traditional Christian, Mormonism MUST be considered a heresy. That doesn’t mean we can’t all get along, but getting along should be based on the truth.

Oh?

Has something changed since the attitudes shown in post #83 were expressed?
