Tmaque,

I think the claims that Mormons are not Christian have their base in the very things you mention in your post. They do not believe the same thing about the blessed Trinity and the divinity of Jesus that Catholics do.

This is true. LDS believe that the understanding of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost changed between the time of the apostles in the New Testament and the time of the Nicene Creed in 325 AD.

A group is not free to change the definition of Christian in order to fit what they would like it to be. No matter how similar the doctrines may be, no one has the authority to change the meaning of the word Christian.

The members of Christs’ Church in the New Testament called themselves “Saints.” The origin for the term “Christian” came from non-believers who gave this name to those who were followers of Christ in Antioch. “And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.” (Acts 11:26) The church did not originate this term and therefore, no single denomination owns it.

It sort of falls under the same category as those who would try to redefine marraige. No matter how bad they want a union between two men or two women to be called a marraige, it is not possible for them to change God’s definition. I believe the same applies with Christianity.

You are absolutely right about the definition of marriage, however, God did not define the term “Christian.”
