Having Jesus' name in the title of the denomination doesn't make you a Christian. Putting up Christmas lights,singing in the choir,going to church,doing good works,whatever doesn't make you a Christian!
...we are using these scriptures and the teachings of a living witness of Jesus Christ to bring the world the knowledge and hope the Savior of our souls gives.
Why would any "Christian" want to stop that?
You obviously believe in Jesus Christ and have faith in him. If Christ still spoke to us and gave us guidance today - wouldn't you want to know that? Why would the writings in the NT be enough for you when there is so much more to know?
Of course - but it has to be tested according to the scripture - the Bible, and the LDS is not biblical.. And the Bible tells us hoe to be saved - and the LDS add so much to it - and perverts the grace of God (as many liberal christians also do)...
And why would a man telling you what God said be preferable to God telling you Himself?
Hbr 1:1-2 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, ...
Jhn 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth
God has never left us without the standard of His Word by which to judge the true from the false.
We believe that Jehovah of the OT was Jesus Christ and the prophets foretold of his coming. We believe that Jesus Christ is the "Son of God the only begotten of the Father" in the NT and the Savior of all mankind. We believe the Book of Mormon to be "Another Testament" of the existence of Jesus Christ and that he is the savior of mankind...
He is a god... not the God to you... that is not Biblical. The book of mormon.. not so bad.. but pearl of GP and D&C... forget it. Not historical (neither the B o M) and not Biblical
It's one thing to be active in the "scaffolding" of the church - it's entirely different to be active in your heart and mind. I've known Bishops, Missionaries,Stake Presidents etc... who've apostatized - his claimed callings don't impress me.
The Lord takes away knowledge when we don't live up to the light we receive. What he claims is our doctrine is SOOOOOOO far off the mark it's staggering.
He may have been a Mormon (of which sect I'm not clear). I doubt he was an active member.
He seems to group them all together.
It's like saying "Protestants believe and teach exactly the same as Catholics and Luthern." Mainstream LDS teach a very different doctrine from fundamentalist groups. By the way, I just learned that there are Protestant, Jewish, and "christian" polygamist groups. Not a word about them huh Shawn? Pretty interesting.
Typical LDS to assume that he was not active - I can tell you that he was an active member - missionary, married in the temple, stake high counsile member etc... watch "born again mormon new"
He was mormon for 40 years... thats what he knows. If he was Jew, than he would evangelize, inform and get jews to trust in Jesus. There are some counter-cult ministries that dont agree with his method, and says that mormons can be christian, although they stay LDS (not believing in the fables the LDS church tell their people)
The Book of Mormon is the most correct book ever written? Wow, so with over 3000 changes, I guess the rest of the books are really off!

Being in a "church" makes you a Christian is like living in a garage makes you a car!

Sadly, you guys are oposite sides of the same coin.
Just stick with the Bible. the way it is written...You cant go wrong.

If you really don't want to know or even experiment on testing Moroni's promise (Moroni 10:3-5)
Then we will have to agree to disagree.

testskriftene,
Well it isn't Jesus Jones we're preaching!
Seriously,
We believe that Jehovah of the OT was Jesus Christ and the prophets foretold of his coming. We believe that Jesus Christ is the "Son of God the only begotten of the Father" in the NT and the Savior of all mankind. We believe the Book of Mormon to be "Another Testament" of the existence of Jesus Christ and that he is the savior of mankind...

He claims we don't talk about Christ in ANY of our meetings. I can't think of a meeting we HAVEN'T talked about Christ in.
Visit the LDS website - all Jesus Christ, all the time. Christ is come in the flesh. Hallelujah!

The LDS church has started to stress and push out that they believe in Jesus.. but it is not the biblical Jesus...

Can you say "hate monger"?
You even admitted that the other Christian faiths don't acknowledge you.
What's next? We should exterminate all Mormons? What about Jews? Are you going to attack them next? They aren't "Christians".
