Mormons are Christians

Christian beliefs: 1. There is only one God--Mormon's believe multiple God's exist: "In the beginning, the head of the Gods called a council of the Gods; and they came together and concocted a plan to create the world and people it" (1). This quote shows there MUST have been multiple God's in Mormon belief. 2. God is three in one--there is biblical support showing that God is three in one (2). Mormon's believe that these three are separate. (3) 4. God is spirit. Christianity believes God is spirit. (4) Mormons believe that God is made of "flesh and blood"(3). Therefore, Mormon's cannot be Christians. 7. Jesus is fully God and fully man (4). Mormons do not believe this therefore, are not Christian. 8. All people have sinned--Christians believe in Original Sin. Mormons do not believe in original sin. Mormon's are not Christians. Mormon beliefs: 1. God was once a man who lived on another planet. Christian's do not believe this simple as that. Mormon's do believe this and it is an official doctrine. (5) Mormon's are not Christians. "As man is, God once was: as God is, man may become" (6). 2. God is man. No it is not outside the scope of official Mormon Doctrine. (6) 3. Multiple God's and Multiple Worlds. Mormon's still believe there is more than one God, even if He is in another Universe. This goes completely against "There is ONLY one God". 4. Jesus was begotten by a physical union between God and Mary. "Jesus Christ was not begotten by the Holy Ghost... if the Son was begotten by the Holy Ghost" (7) . "Jesus our Elder Brother was begotten in the flesh by the same character that was in the garden of Eden, and who is our Father in Heaven." (8) God physically had sex with Mary and conceived Jesus. Christianity teaches, Mary was a virgin when she conceived Jesus. Therefore, it would be impossible for God to have sex with her. Furthermore, Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit. (9) 5. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are separate. Christianity teaches this and it is in the bible (10). Whether possible or not possible is still a basic Christian tenant. Since Mormon;s do not accept this (and you have conceded that Mormons do not accept the Christian teaching). Mormon's cannot be Christian. 6. People can become God when they die. Yes it is an actual teaching, "As man is, God once was: as God is, man may become" (6). In other words, Man may become God. This goes completely against all teachings of Christianity ("there is only one God"). Mormons are not Christian. 7. There is no such thing as original sin. Original sin is the concept that every man and woman is born into sin because of Adam's transgression. Christianity teaches this. Mormons do not (11). It's as simple as that. 8. Jesus visited America. Well Christianity does not teach this is correct. Mormon's do teach it is correct. Once again, Mormon's are going against Christian teachings. Therefore, they are not Christian. 1. Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 349 2. Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; John 14:16-17; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Acts 2:32-33, John 10:30,17:11, 21; 1 Peter 1:2 3.
