Uh Oh I missed that in the Book Where did Jesus say what the basis doctrines were of being a follower or disciple That s right those doctrines and parameters did not come until several hundred years after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ So the question is who gets to decide what a Christian is Jesus Christ or men As for me and my house whether LDS or not we will follow the Lord I generally detest this quality of discussion about Christianity It is based more on emotional reaction Zantanarung starts out painting Catholics and Mormons as nonChristian Then we get to the point that Catholics are Christian but Mormons are not Not once did anyone turn to what the Savior defined as a follower We seek out the definitions of men first That makes little sense from whence does wisdom flow Anyone that has ever studied Catholicism or its history must readily come to a conclusion that this is a believe that is deep and majestic It is built firmly upon Jesus Christ and is most assuredly Christian I likewise believe that anyone that studies The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints would come to the conclusion that it is based upon their understanding of Jesus Christ Do Catholics and LDS believe the same thing Do the other 34 000 sects of Christianity believe the same thing No they don t There are wrinkles of differences in all of them I love to talk about Christianity but I still reject those petty conversations that amount to my house is better than your house
