What if Bush is the one that gets to decide "what is Christian". If he decides that Mormons are Christians but Catholics aren't, can he still be the antichrist.

Has there ever been a thread in RWED where Bush didn't get trashed for no apparent reason.

You have some serious issues to deal with.

Jong, cool it with the sock puppetry, you ain't foolin no one and you look like an idiot.

As for the topic at hand...

Again, my very simple rule, easy to remember, easy to practice.

I don't care a whit what someone believes, I care what they DO.

It really ain't simpler than that.

Mosta the Mormon folk I've met are pretty decent, even if they do wince when I get on a rant, apparently they try to avoid vices and harsh language, but they're pretty tolerant of mine as my hearts in the right place even when my mouth ain't... lol.

AntiMason comes to mind, not sure if he doesn't think they are Christian but he definitely doesn't seem to consider them to be good Christians.

P.S. Anti if you read this and I have mis-represented your views please let me know.

Have you noticed that fundies all ACT alike? They all dispute dogma vehemently, condemn everyone who disagrees viciously, and seek to have the rest of the world conform to their beliefs? It doesn't matter if they are Fundie Christian, Fundie Muslim, Fundie Jew, or Fundie Vegetarian. What they believe doesn't matter at all--they all ACT the same way.

The only people who think Mormons aren't Christians are Fundies who have a very narrow definition of what Christian means. They will tell you no one but those who accept Jesus as their personal savior AND believe everything they believe are Christians.

Bastards. (Not Mormons, the Fundies.)

This seems like the only reasonable way to define Christianity. If they believe that Jesus was the son of God, their Christians.



But Mormons believe that if they do all the right things, they will become God of their own world. They don't consider Jesus to be God in the typical Christian view of the Trinity. To them, Jesus is the physical son of God, a completely separate entity. Jesus is the brother of Lucifer. God was once a man, like us, but he lived on another planet. Access to heaven comes from good works - I don't know, none of this sounds very Christian to me. It actually sounds quite blasphemous from a Christian standpoint and I can understand why other Christians don't let them into their club.

When their very definitions of God, Jesus, access to heaven, and eternal life, - and our origins - all differ greatly from other Christians, can they still accurately use the term 'Christian' ?

Hmm

If that's truly what they believe...... then we WERE created by aliens.

Who woulda thunk it?
