You obviously haven’t a clue what you are on about. The issue of Mormonism being Christian or not is not a gamesaying like what YOU did. It is based on theological arguments. Are you versed on the arguments? If not, then you and others like you, CLEARLY have NO basis on which to opine.

For ANYTHING to trump the existing bible we have, it HAS to pass THIS test:

Galatians 1:7-10
7. Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert (restore?) the gospel of Christ.
8. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

2 Corinthians 11:14-15
14. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
15. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.

17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother, “I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”

If one believes the Bible is correct, then, by that Standard, Mormonism fails the test.

If, however, you are convinced that the Bible is either in error, been corrupted or mis-interpreted, then you are free to believe whatever you wish.

Be warned though, that this same Bible indicates that no matter how fervently you believe in Something; that does not make it True.

Actually, that is an argument for a lack of Change, if we are saying that God said the Bible you have is corrupted already, then according to your scripture God is powerless to correct his word? God forbid.

If God is correcting something then by definition, what you have is wrong or God would not be changing it. The question is: is God making the change, or someone else? (anyone else is bad.)

For that you need to know if a Change is from God, and for that you need to ask him. Once you have an answer, you have to be sure it's from him. God (literally) thinks of everything, so we have instructions in the Bible for this.

You need this biblical test:

1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

God told me it's true, and told me it's form him, and told me Jesus was the Christ. All in the same revelation, I'm sorry LC, I can't hear you while God is speaking to me.

If one believes the Bible is correct, then, by that Standard, Mormonism fails the test.

When you want someone to fail, give them the wrong test...

If, however, you are convinced that the Bible is either in error, been corrupted or mis-interpreted, then you are free to believe whatever you wish.

I choose to believe what God testifies to...

Be warned though, that this same Bible indicates that no matter how fervently you believe in Something; that does not make it True.

Similarly, no matter how fervently you believe a corrupted Bible, that will not make it correct.

The logical person will test both sides of this.

I have a section on this on my page here at FR titled Put our religion to "The Test" Go read it, if you feel inspired pray about it, if you feel inspired or even curious, order a Book of Mormon, then read it, good luck feel free to ask me questions as you read.

Good Bless and Merry Christmas to everyone.
