The KKK and Mormans are denounced as not Christian by every mainline Christian church there is they do not meet the deffinition and you can find much written on the subject as to why.

Well, normally I would not engage in any type of dicsussion like this, particularly on a thread that is dedicated to a wholly different matter.

But your statement comparing and grouping the Mormon Church with the KKK is beyond the pale.

Jesus Christ is my personal Savior. I have accepted Him as my Redeemer and taken His name upon me. I trust Him and know that salvation only comes through His name. My sincere witness to you of this should (most probably by your own definition) indicate that I am saved.

...I am also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, what you would call a Mormon.

I will not disparage your belief in our Master and Redeemer...I would appreciate it if you would have the respect to not disparage the faith of millions of others who also believe in Him and seek to follow Him.

As to the insurgents who took up residence in their Mosque so they could fire on and attack our troops...we did the right thing in bringing the roof down upon their heads and killing them there. They disparaged and desecrated their own house in so doing...not our Marines.

I agree, I'm a Christian (Lutheran) and I don't "denounce" the Mormons myself. While I've heard quibbling about the Mormon church, I've not heard a whole lot. (Can't say that for Jehovah's Witnesses - a good deal more on that.)

As for the KKK, I don't understand why that even plays in the equation. They never claimed to be a religious sect, anyway, basically a political 1 or "cultural". (Who ever heard of KKK calling themselves some kind of special followers of Christ, interpreting the Word a certain way?) So it seems a silly thing to even bring up as far as "heresies".

In the other posters' defense, tho, I don't think it was meant necessarily to equate the KKK and Mormon Church as being the same in action, as just to say they are heretical in most Christians' eyes. (Now read 1st paragraphs again.)

Sorry it took me so long to see your post to me, but I was not the one who put the Mormons in the same category as the KKK. I was replying to somebody else's post on what constitutes a Christian, and the fact there are certain standards that need to be met for you to be considered Christian.

You might be offended with me putting the Mormons in the cult category, but I am not the one who does: You are classified that way by every Christian church there is(Protestant or catholic). Try the book "Kingdom of the Cults", a book on Christian cults and why they are classified that way. Mormonism does not meet the requirements for being Christian, just a cult offshoot. If that is offensive then I am not the one to blame for that classification. Besides which as a Mormon you already know how Mormon's are viewed by Christianity at large, that is why you go door in 2's because there are those of us out there with the knowledge and willing to tell what is unBiblical about Mormons.
