It doesn’t matter what the Catholic Church considers their baptism to be. That doesn’t make it any less real.

Define what that means.

In capsule form, believing in Jesus is trusting that He is who He said He was and accepting the forgiveness for sins that He offers by His death and resurrection and opening the door of our heart to allow Him to come in and live within us making us a new man.
 
No I meant I didn’t think they believed Jesus was real. Ha ha thanks for educating me 🙂
 
I used to have an account on quoara, it is NOT a good place to learn about religion.
 
So I’m guessing you left the Catholic Church for some crazy reason and joined the LDS. You may argue all you want but the LDS is not now, nor has it ever been a Christian organization.

Satan believes in Jesus, is he Christian? For our friend @ChristMyLife we need to come to a consensus (define) who Jesus Christ is. For Christians Jesus is the Son, the second person in the trinity. He was incarnate while keeping all of his divinity, fully man, fully divine. He was sent from heaven to save the world.

This is where LDS as Christians falls apart. The LDS do not accept this simple, true, documented, factual, reality of Jesus Christ. Game over. They are not Christian.
 
If Joseph Smith is a Christian, then so is Muhammad. They’re basically the same. Highly troubled and/or deceptive men out in a frontier zone without any jurisdiction or authority over them, dealing with holy things out of their grasp and rebelling or adding on their own perverse ideas on to it.

Speaking of that jurisdiction thing, I don’t know why Protestants dislike them as well. They’re out of proper authority too and come up with their own false ideas by divorcing themselves from the history of the Church. It’s why they keep splitting and mutating over and over again. They’re lucky they’re not all so sick as to become like Joseph Smith.

LDS Mormons are no more Christian than the man in the moon. I do feel that some of them, do love God and have had a personal relationship or belief in Jesus, but this is not the norm.

Their very teachings are against scripture. They provide another gospel" which is their Book of Mormon, which in fact they are more versed on then the Bible.

They believe that Roman Catholics and Protestants and other Christians have got it all wrong, and they have the true faith. It is rather ridiculous what they believe.

They believe that God(Elohim) pre existed on a planet with his wife and they had Spirit babies. They believe that Lucifer and Jesus were brothers. They believe in one is exalted to Godhood and becomes a god ruling a planet. They believe in Tritheism vs Trinity. There are a ton of other beliefs they hold onto that are not Christian nor do they come from the Christian beliefs.
 
They don’t come from Christian beliefs because they’re not based on the teachings of the Jews and the Old Testament, they’re based more on the teachings of the prophets in the Book of Mormon. They are different from the Jews in the sense that their promised land is here in America, not over in the Middle East. And because their promised land is the land of liberty, they hold other beliefs closer to heart than the Christians who believe their promised land is in Israel.

It’s not another gospel. It’s just another book in their bible written by a prophet, like the Book of Isaiah or Joshua.

Well don’t Roman Catholics believe the same thing?

Where did you get that from? Is there a verse in the Book of Mormon or the D&C that states that? Because I’m curious if that’s true or not as well.
 
Mormons do not believe in many gods. They believe in a sort of multiverse, where many separate universes exist, each ruled by a different God. But there is only One God of our universe, and no other.
 
In the short form, yes. But it’s a lot more complicated than that.
 
Sorry for the delay. There’s this message that keeps popping up that says I’ve reached the maximum number of replies for a new user, and that I have to wait an hour or so to post again.

Yes but God is above him. Think of it like the feudal system, where God is the king, Elohim is the lord of our universe, and we are the servants to Elohim.
