I don't understand why some say that Mormans aren't Christian. Isn't the "official" name of their religion, "the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints?
I don't understand why some say that Mormans aren't Christian. Isn't the "official" name of their religion, "the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints? Lets say that I started my own church and taught that Jesus was Satan's literal brother, that God was once just a man like you or me on a distant planet and that eventually every good member of my church would someday become a god and have dominion over their own world just like God does over ours. And let's say I named my church the "Church of Jesus Christ for Ordinary People."
Would my church qualify as a "Christian" Church in your book?
Isn't the "official" name of their religion, "the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints? Well; history shows it did NOT start out that way...
The Church of Christ was the original name of the Latter Day Saint church founded by Joseph Smith, Jr.
Organized informally in 1829 in northwestern New York and then as a legal entity on April 6, 1830,.
It was the first organization to implement the principles found in Smith's newly published Book of Mormon, and thus represents the formal beginning of the Latter Day Saint movement.
Later names for this organization included the Church of the Latter Day Saints (by 1834 resolution), the Church of Jesus Christ, the Church of God, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (by an 1838 revelation). (From wiki)
