Hello LN

It starts at 3 Nephi 27:13 These verses held a great deal of significance for me back when I held to the more traditional Christian beliefs.

Re: The Question: Are Mormons Christian? A New Approach

I will begin: Mormons are Christian. We believe in the mission of Jesus Christ: that He died so that we might live again, that he is the great redeemer, that he was resurrected on the third day. I agree with you. As long as you define a Christian as one who believes in a certain set of beliefs then...

Re: Why do Mormons want to be called Christian?

Why do Mormons want to be called Christian? I view myself as a Mormon and as a Progressive Christian. I do not want either identity stripped from me, especially to please someone with a dogmatic checklist and chip on their shoulder against Mormons. My Mormon identity could not exist without my conc...

I'm not saying it is or isn't. Its not part of the discussion. I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying.

Re: Why do Mormons want to be called Christian?

Yet again you completely overlook the fact that all Christians, Mormons included, believe Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior of humanity. We believe this is an essential doctrine. Don't you? Hello makelan, I agree that the above would be an accurate description of how the average individual wil...

Re: Why do Mormons want to be called Christian?

That's very interesting. How many Temple Lot Mormons are there? (I'm a plain vanilla Mormon, at least officially.) Hello Erotic, I don't know how many members they have now. Except for forums I'm not active in any Mormon churches. I joined the LDS church in 1972. After being active for about a year...

Re: Why do Mormons want to be called Christian?

I really don't care if you say Joseph Smith was in error. I care what you tell me what I am and am not allowed to call myself. Hello maklelan, I'm a member of the Church of Christ(temple lot). This is one of the many offshoots of the original 1830 church. Should I be allowed to call myself a Mormon...
