Question

In Religion section, the conventional Christians overwhelmingly do not consider Mormons "Christian": do you?

Answer 1

Most objective scholars agree that Mormons are Christian. Consider this quote from an academic book entitled “Anthology of World Scriptures” by Robert E. Van Voorst.

“…the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints…see themselves as Christian, and most experts in comparative religions would view this labeling as basically correct. That they…accept the Christian Bible as their first cannon is a good indicator of this. Moreover, “outsiders” to [Christianity], such as Buddhists, would almost certainly recognize them as belonging to the stream of Christian tradition.”

Likewise, a recent poll showed that the majority of Americans believe that Mormons are Christians. If indeed the majority of traditional Christians in the Religion section believe Mormons are not Christian, they are not in sync with the beliefs of the majority of Americans.

Answer 2

I am Mormon. I believe that Jesus Christ is my Savior, that he and only he can atone for the sins of the world; that salvation can only come through him. It is due to Christ that we are able to receive of eternal life.  

Now please tell me, what does not sound Christian about that?

It doesn't really matter what others may think, as my belief in Christ is between he and myself anyway. If he knows it, that is what really matters.

Answer 3

Yes, I consider Christian to be an umbrella term for any faith base that accepts Christ as the messiah.

Answer 4

I have studied Mormonism and its history for a long time. I don't consider it a Christian religion. They have added to the Bible with their supplement, "The Book of Mormon". They follow that more than the Bible.

And think about this: When you see Mormons gathered together in a crowd on tv or wherever, how many people of color (any color), do you see?

Answer 5

NO CAUSE THEY OPRESS THE WOMEN

Answer 6

Religion is a form of Mental Ilness. Take a close look at the various belief systems for confirmation. In a child, Religion is Brain-washing by parents. As an adult, embracing these same beliefs without question, I would say is a Mental Illness.

Answer 7

All religious zealots are nuts anyway...who cares what label they go by?

Answer 8

Not at ALL

Answer 9

Nope.  Their christ is NOT the Christ of the Bible.

Answer 10

Yes of course I do.  Isn't a Christian someone that believes in and follows Christ?   If so,  then Mormons are more Christian than most conventional Christians.

Answer 11

They are all the same in worshiping God.

Only different tribes of different community call it differently.

But there is only one of our creator's universal gifts of life vital for the survival and adbancement of living human kind that was lost with time.

Luke 19.9-10

The blunders and slip-ups with human errors was created back in the past centuries without anyone being aware of it.

With the best kept dirty little secrets of the past hidden in the graves.

Luke 10.24

The misery were expose in time after the mystery of us-911 that crept out in time.

Luke 8.10, 17

Ever wonder where did all the ghostly stories came from ?

When there were only one "Masterpiece"?

Now which is the "Masterpiece" that was lost with time?

Ever wonder how our creator expose it in the missing x-files.

Without anyone being aware of it?

Luke 8.10,17

The original "Masterpiece" contain the gifts of life for the creation of living human kind to be mankind of intelligent design to be the Son of God that was lost with time.

Somehow those ghostly stories could not create living human kind into mankind of intelligent design.

When living human kind do not even know how to create books into positive and negative.

That is the mystery of the "Masterpiece" without anyone being aware of it.

So followers of ghostly stories of failures and horrors of the past could not advance in time at loss and stranded out there.

While the little ones keep on shaking and waking us up in kicking us on the butts without being aware of it.

Luke 9.60

What do you think?

Answer 12

Absolutely unequivocally NO
