I am asking for the authority of your definition. Why don’t you provide it?

I suggest the following definition of Christianity:

>1. The Christian religion, founded on the life and teachings of Jesus

Hmmmm according to your definition:

>1. The Christian religion, founded on the life and teachings of Jesus

Who is this Jesus that Christians follow? Is it that illegal immigrant driving the snow plow, giving us a path to follow? Or is Jesus the Christ defined in some other way?

I have thought about your question and the answer is - no.

No, I do not need to proved “proof” of where I found the definition to Christianity.

You asked for a definition and I gave one, yet you dispute it. Thats fine, of course it is your right.

What I find interesting is your desperation to prove LDS are Christians regardless of the arguments that they are not in the traditional sense.

From my experience LDS do not follow the teachings of Christ but of Joe Smith.
From my experience LDS are not monotheists because they do not believe in the the Hold Trinity but separate The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, that makes them not monotheists.

I wish you well in your quest to justify that LDS are Christians, I profoundly disagree.
