Oh, Mormons love to be called "Christian". But I noticed something interesting while at the Mormon Miracle Pageant. They would say, "We are Christian", but in the same breath, "Don't listen to the Christians!" They would walk through a group of us and say, among many things, "Oh, these are the Christians". Aren't they the ones who would fight to the death to say they are Christian, yet would tell others not to listen to us? What is the difference? Oh, we're "those" Christians. Huh? If they wanted to be called Christians, then why wouldn't they want anyone to listen to us? If their belief is enough to be warranted being called Christian, then there shouldn't be any issue with speaking with us about that belief. Right? Wrong. The LDS people at the Pageant didn't want to talk to the "Christians", wouldn't allow us on Temple Grounds, although we're all "Christians", wouldn't allow us to bring our backpacks into the bathrooms, because we might be "Christian" in there and wouldn't allow us to "Evangelize" on the grass which was "Church property". Does any of that make sense? Or is it the height of hypocracy?
They want society to accept them as Christian, yet won't allow "Christians" into their Temples, won't let us talk about Jesus on Church Property and will threaten to arrest us if we do. What exactly is "Christian" about that?
Christianity does not teach that Jesus and Satan are brothers.
Christianity does not teach that God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost are the "three gods we worship" - Mormon Doctrine, Bruce McConkie.
Christianity does not teach that men can become gods.
Christianity does not teach that God used to be a man and worked his way up the ladder to godhood.
Christianity does not teach that there is a heavenly mother, although not mentioned much in LDS Doctrine DOES exist as she (or many wives) literally gave birth to us in the pre-existance.
Christianity does not teach that we need a prophet on the earth.
Christianity does not teach that we need modern day revelation.
Christianity does not teach that we need additional books to "restore" the Gospel.
Christianity does not teach that we need to perform ordinances in a Temple either for our salvation or the salvation of someone else.
Christianity does not teach that we need to listen to the words of man to get us closer to God.
Mormonism teaches those things. Yet, Mormons are "Christians". No. They are not. Christianity doesn't teach what Mormons believe, so how can they be "Christian"? I do not believe what Mormons teach, so I am not to be called a Mormon. They say because they follow Jesus that they are Christian, yet they follow the prophet. They believe in Jesus, yet that doesn't make them Christians. Even the demons believe.
If you have faith in Jesus Christ ALONE, that HIS works save us and our works are as filthy rags, if we admit with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead we will be saved. That makes us Christian. A follower of Jesus Christ, NOT Thomas S. Monson or Joseph Smith.
