This is from President Hinckley: “Are we Christians? Of course we are Christians. We believe in Christ. We worship Christ. We take upon ourselves in solemn covenant His holy name. The Church to which we belong carries His name. He is our Lord, our Savior, our Redeemer through whom came the great Atonement with salvation and eternal life.” If you would like a reference, just let me know.

Certainly this is consistent with your understanding. I will only add that in worshiping Christ, it is not in alternative of worshiping His Father. The focus is still on God the Father. The LDS doctrine of 3 members in the Godhead is unique and does separate it from other Christian faiths, but it does not make them non-Christian, which is what I am trying to address.

So LDS DO worship two gods? What about you?

Since the President of the LDS Church is a prophet, seer, and revelator he has the associated powers. Thus, to prove his faith and that he is a prophet I suggest that President Hinckley correctly translate the papyrus that Smith translated to produce The Book of Abraham.

Certainly he has these powers if the church is true and he is God's prophet.

If he does not have these powers, then the church is a fraud.
