If you actually study in what they believe, they steer away from God’s Holy word, the Bible, and have extra Biblical supposed “ Revelation “ in the book of Mormons by some kook called Joe Smith.
I completely agree with you. They do those things. But just to be obstinate, Hari Chrishnas don’t believe in the Bible, have their own beliefs and don’t even accept Jesus Christ as the only Son of the living God. Buddhists the same....there are others. Yet we don’t call all of THEM cults. Okay, most fair-minded people don’t call them cults.
Isn’t it really just that Mormons tend to call themselves “christian” when they clearly are not that really ticks us off?
