So if the Mormons say they believe in the God of Abraham, do you think they worship the same God as the one elucidated by the Nicene and Athanasian creeds? All it takes is a label? Content doesn’t matter? Slap an Apple label on a Dell computer and you’ve got an Apple? Really?
“So if the Mormons say they believe in the God of Abraham, do you think they worship the same God as the one elucidated by the Nicene and Athanasian creeds?”
I think they think they do. As a Catholic, however, we do not consider them to be Christian because they do not accept the Nicene Creed in any proper sense. Thus, we do not accept their baptism as valid because it isn’t truly Trinitarian in nature or intent. Having said that, I would not hesitate to say that they PROFESS to believe in the God of Abraham. So do Jews. So do Muslims. So do all Christians.
“All it takes is a label?”
I have no idea what you mean.
“Content doesnt matter?”
It does matter. It also matters what they PROFESS to believe. If they profess to believe in Jesus I am not going to say they don’t profess to believe in Jesus.
“Slap an Apple label on a Dell computer and youve got an Apple? Really?”
No, so why are you even suggesting it by way of question since nothing I said even remotely suggested that?
This is an EMOTIONAL game.
Trying to get any logic to function in it is a fool’s errand.
