In further reading of the "Christianity Defined" site, I wandered into their bookstore.

http://www.studychristianity.com/book_store.html

This is where the "Christian" mask comes off. There is money involved in book sales.

Here are some of the books that are listed under the heading....wait for it!.....

ADVANCED CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY

Miracle of Forgiveness, by Spencer. W. Kimball
Jesus the Christ (Collector's Edition), by James E. Talmage
Lectures on Faith, by Joseph Smith
Articles of Faith, by James E. Talmage
AND...under INTERMEDIATE CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY
The Great Apostasy, by James E. Talmage!

AND...under INTERMEDIATE CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY

More & more, the latest LDS PR spin (Millet does this in the clip Elsie often posts of him) is to present Christianity as "Mormon lite." IOW, we're supposedly the introductory version of full-blown Mormonism. They are supposedly "advanced," "mature" Christianity -- while we're" just the milky version. You see this, too, in the labeling of that book on the supposed "apostasy" as "intermediate."

You also see it in the Web site as the basis of this thread. Here's what they say:

Beyond being identified as a Christian, there is an abundance of doctrine in the scriptures that helps explain true Christian beliefs and practices—even “the deep things of God” (1 Cor. 2: 9-10). Some Christian theology is simple to understand, while other theological concepts are more difficult. Paul to the Corinthians and Hebrews used the metaphors of milk and meat to indicate there were simple doctrines (milk) and more complex doctrines (meat) (1 Cor. 3:2 and Heb. 5:12), and that one must be able to digest the milk before moving on to the more difficult to digest meat.

So the spin is basically to try to focus less and less on us as outright "apostates" and more & more to try to present us as "incomplete Christians" who need Mormonism to "complete" us.

(Yeah, right...like I always wanted to become a god / sarc)
