To: reaganaut; betty boop
I know that my dearest sister in Christ, betty boop, already knows this but for the record since you asked.

LDS theology is not Christian. It says that God the Father had a father who had a father and so on. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are separate entities by that theology. The LDS God the Father was once a man, conversely, LDS men can become gods.

For that reason, the Catholic Church does not recognize LDS baptisms though it does recognize Protestant baptisms in "the" name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, i.e. the Trinity.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: - Matt 28:19

As I understand it, until recently the LDS did not claim to be Christian as the word is meant by Catholics, Orthodox, Protestants and independent Christians, i.e. we worship God the Creator of all that there is.

...And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. - Acts 11:26

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. - John 1:1-3

God's Name is I AM and YHwH (He IS), El Shaddai (God Almighty), Alpha and Omega.

Remember the former things of old: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like me, - Isaiah 46:9

And again,

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. - Rev 1:7-8

Yet, betty boop has made statements that Mormons are Christians and attacked us - basicially accusing us of attacking Chrisitans (Mormons), while at the same time saying she didn’t fight Christians.

She also dodged a simple question about her views. It is a very reasonable conclusion that Betty is in error and considers Mormons to be Christians. Perhaps you can get through to her.
