They are, to begin with.
Then they continue to believe some crazy stuff. |

I was baptized mormon. They are the ones who f*cked with my head, and
now I don't know what to believe, except for people in MOST churches are hypocrates. I cannot go to church anymore, because none have my beliefs. If I started my own religion, people would say I was startin a cult or some BS like that, so I just stick with not goin. |

Well, I lived in Utah for most of my adult life--By all practical
purposes they appear to be Christian, but if you're an outsider, in other words, a non-Mormon, the first thing that happens is that you'll get a visit from an elder or two to get you to convert, and then when you don't, you mostly stay OUTSIDE. I don't consider that Christian. |

|
|
you mean to say you think their all named Christine?
|
|
|

Sure,the churchs name is: "The Church Of (Jesus Christ),of Latter Day
Saints".If you name a church after the person you love and admire and whose church it is,I'd say yes!,we believe we are follwers of Christand His teachings.We are defintly christians. |

|
|
of course you are christians, unusually devout ususlly also in my
expierence. |

I think perhaps the question is was a good one. There are those who
would deceive and those who are deceived. Most mainstream Christians would not consider those of the Morman faith Christians. In fact the Morman's had their own division over this very topic, which is why you will see churches named "The Reformed Church of JC of LDS" because some realized that they had been deceived and that Jesus was more than just the profit they were told he was. So there are two factions you may be considering in this topic. Be careful not to offend anyone, but beware too that you are not deceived by names and titles. Mormans, the original sect, are not Christians in the true sense of the word. Theirs is not the code of the Bible but rather the ethics of the Book of Morman. Also, remember lest you all forget, that they have their beliefs as you have yours. Non-Christians are not wrong, Christians are not wrong but they are both right for some people. And for some poeple they are all just interesting topics - but none of them has a place in the civil code of the government of a democratic society. |

By the way, do you think Jehovah's Witnesses are Christian?
|

thats a good question... historically, no. They wouldbypass jesus and go
right to god. This is changing, though. I have seen a lot of JWs who are rethinking that one and thier publications seem to reflect a change toward Jesus as of late. I woulsd reccomend all thier books, ect. they are very good reads. ( i just forego the last three chapters or so that are designed to convert us) i have a lot of respect for them,, the bible does teach us to go out and witness to the masses, which they do. They are certainly very devout in thier beliefs, you wont find many sunday only types in thier congregation. hAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO GIVE A jw money? they are expected to refuse all donations and are instructed to this end. They were origionally, and still are primarially a bible study group. |

nice ram, I especially liked that you skip the conversion tactics?
I have not read any recent publications of theirs, because past experience made their reads too difficult to understand. The always took passages out of context and in so doing they had no consistancy of beleif. And worst of all, those who followed could not answer questions with regart to thise inconsistancys, they alway had to refer to the Elders, who often BS'd their way back to where-ever! I will agree with you, those I have called friends were truely honest, faithful and trustworthy, and they did live their faith, more than most. I had a friend about to loose her house, four children and a missing addicted husband. I wanted to help, I had a hell of a time trying to get her to accept reason and accept the "loan" I could provide. She finally accepted "for her children" and of all the people I have lent money to, never expecting to see it again, she repaid me every cent, as quickly as she could. She was such an awesome person. |

In one word, YES, Mormons are Christian, have always been and always
will be. Also Like most other Christian Faiths Believe in the Bible. Red, I am sorry about your experiences I hope someday you will find a Faith that you are comfortable with. G |

i have found that as soon as I enter a Church, i can feel either Good or
bad vibes. Ive learned to follow this feeling, as it usually is accurate in the end. Red.... ever tried Penticostal? buncha people on fire for the lord. I call them Gods cheerleaders. |
|
|
|
I was raised Mormon. They follow the Bible & The Book of Mormon. I think
they are christians. But that's just my opinion. |
|
|
|
ghost... they believe in jESUS DONT THEY??????Please advise
|
|
|
|
rambill~~~ Yes, they do. They believe that the 3 days Jesus spent
"dead", before he rose from the grave, was spent in the Americas, with the poeple here. That is what the Book of Mormon is about. |
|
|
|
The Mormon have always declared a believe in Jesus, however, do they
believe he is God? Do they believe he was incarnate? Do they believe his death, his blood, purified them of their sins? Who is their greatest profit -- Jesus, Moroni, Mormon or Joseph Smith?????? |
|

I discounted B.Young from the list of profits, obviously he saw a way to
conquer his status in heaven by getting a head start and being the first to practice his divinely inspired concept of polygamy, which, by the way took a long time before another profit saw something else and reversed that inspiration. I guess God changed it's mind? |
