Why Mormons are not Christians?
http://www.bible-truth.org/arelds.htm ^ | 1996 | Bible-truth.org

" Historically, only until recently have Mormons wanted to be called Christians, preferring not to be included with Christian denominations which Joseph Smith said were, "all wrong...all there creeds were an abomination in his sight, and that those professors (Christians) were all corrupt." (Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith, 2:18-19) In the past Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons) have preferred to be called "saints." However, in the recent years the LDS church has spend millions in an intense public relations campaign aimed at moving their church into the mainstream of Christianity.

(slice)

First: Mormons do not follow or believe in the historic Jesus Christ of the Bible, but rather a different Jesus. This is why most biblical Christians emphatically insist that Mormons are not Christians. Let me explain..............

The god of the Mormons is not the God of the Bible.... "

Not to me you haven’t, at least not in your own words.

Those sites don’t link back to original sources.

They’re self-referencing. This is a conservative site - like Missouri - show me.

You can wait until you’re well rested.

Resty, is it, or is it not Mormon doctrine that there are three level of heaven, and that all except satan and apostates will go to one or the other level?

Yes or no?

actually you err in your misinterpretation.

Prison refers to those who had died prior to Christ death.

Christians recognize they were in Abraham’s bosom, not heaven.

Paradise is Heaven. The ascension of Christ post resurrection was after he overcame death and hell.

The LDS assume there is a limbo, but scripture does not support that.

Congrats, Mad Dawg.
You are the BEST kind.
1500 new Catholics just came in last month. And I live in a small county.

Cheers bro.

Your response is nonsensical. Christ plainly told Mary He had yet to ascend to His Father. 1 Peter 3:18,19 plainly states Christ was in the spirit world teaching His Gospel. Your efforts to equate paradise with heaven are scripturally unsupported.

It is just confusing to me. What makes it any different that me being able to just roll around on Earth, sin and do whatever I want or to be a born again. The born agains that the Mormons ridicule for supposedly having a free pass on sin. That they claim the born agains do not live a good life. Seem hypocritical.

Yet the LDS solve that one through their temple work for the dead.

That is fantastic and innovative theology, plus it has Biblical precedent.

No it isn’t. Paul uses “they” not we. It was a pagan not a Christian practice.

One is the physical body of God.

Christ taught God is a Spirit. We are LESS not greater creatures because we are physical.

The Bible refers to God in human terms because that is how we see things, not because he has a physical body.

It doesn’t matter if you accept Mormonism in this life, anyway, according to Mormon doctrine. They’ll do the temple work for you after you die! So, sin all you want now, and they’ll pick up the tab later - what’s easier grace than that?
