Are the Mormans considered Christian ? The Book Of Morman is a different book than the Bible, but it's considered the Word of God in a new revelation according to Mormons.

The path is narrow leading to Glory, so who knows maybe it's the Mormons.
Perhaps they are the true christians. Who can argue against that?

Originally posted by buckkyI think a better question would be, do Mormons consider themselves "Christians"? If so, do Mormons consider others outside of Mormonism "Chrisitians"? I guess I will have to wait till one comes to my door to ask them.

I pray that there is nothing wacked out in my view, but in cosmic relality it's fact. You know the story of the seed not falling on fertile ground? Don't throw pearls before swine? Sometimes I wonder if I could be non fertile ground, and possibly a swine. That would be the #hits.

So here we stand (some nice day in future) at the pearly gate, beeing sent down if you don't have the right beliefs, or sent further into the gate of San Piedro. Who has the right belief?
Mormons or Moslems? Or perhaps me? Lonesome up there in that case...
Originally posted by buckkyThe Bible is an interesting book because it is comprised of many authors over thousands of years. No new religions seem to have sprouted from it until the time of Christ. Then all of a sudden you have Christianity, Islam, Mormonism, JW's etc. In fact, the God of the Bible seems to dominate the modern world of religion. So the question begs, why?

Originally posted by buckkyThere are so many religions claiming what is pretty much "exclusive license from the one and only divine". With so many different views, all saying they are the only way to God, I wonder if God can just poke in and tell us all which one is right before the next "terrorist attack" comes about.

lds state they are non-trinitarian pre-nicene christians. i have read alot about the religion and cannot decide if they are legitimate. they of course don't have to be legitimate to me but only to themselves but i like to read and think about such things. i did see a little joke though in my review. it was a photo of a sign that was anti-mormon and it read something to the effect that it took the scientologists to make the mormons look good.
