Tough week for Mormons

First, you have some Mormons trying to steal $200K of Legos from a dying man and using the local PD full of Mormons to protect them go viral
Then the Pentagon placed The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in its own category and not in the group labeled Christian
Senator Mike Lee asked why on X and many upset Mormons rallied and quickly were met with opposition as to why they are not Christian

Grok Summary:
quote:
Senator Mike Lee posted a Pentagon religious affiliation list for military records. It placed The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in its own category, separate from Protestant and Catholic groups labeled “Christian.”
Lee followed up affirming his faith is Christian and tied to Jesus Christ.
The post drew thousands of replies from traditional Christians emphasizing core differences: LDS view of the Godhead as three distinct beings (vs. Trinity), acceptance of the Book of Mormon and modern prophets, and other doctrines. Many argued this confirmed LDS is not mainstream Christianity.
The “tough day” comment mocks how the exchange publicly revived those distinctions despite long LDS efforts to stress shared Christian identity in conservative circles.

Joseph Smith was a con artist who discovered a novel method to frick the wives and daughters of his friends.

Friend,
When had Mormonism ever been recognized as a Christian branch? I have never known any Christian denomination to make such an announcement. In even the most extreme examples of ecumenism no Church has ever extended sacramental sharing to Mormonism. Mormonism has fundamentally different beliefs about God and the Jesus of Nazareth revealed in the Christian scriptures.
Perhaps the two most fundamental differences between Mormonism and Christianity are, first, Mormonism’s belief that god the creator was once a man and ascended to become the God of this world. The second fundamental difference is that Mormonism teaches that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not of the same substance and essence. These are fundamental differences, not to mention the lesser but still significant differences, such as Mormonism’s different canon, liturgy, and law.
Mormonism’s 200 year attempt to ease its way quietly under the great umbrella of the Christian Church, an attempt that has become much more vigorous in the last two decades as American Christians have become, on the whole, more ignorant of Church theology and history, which coincides with the decline of mainstream Protestantism and the rise of emotional Protestantism, reminds me of ULL insisting ESPN call it the University of Louisiana or Louisiana. After further consideration, ULL is closer to being the University of Louisiana than Mormonism is to being a branch of the Church.
Yours,
TulaneLSU

I had a few young mormons come by my house a couple years ago , I invited them in just to hear what they had to say. They didn't even have a Bible with them, tried to give me a small book about their religion. I ask if they read the Bible , he said a little but not that often.
Then he tried to tell me that Jesus was the devil's brother and that some spirit came down to Joseph Smith and told him to start this religion. I told him that's not something I'm interested in hearing.
These guys bugged me for weeks trying to come back in and talk about out differences, I finally had to be rude and basically tell them they were in a cult and were worshipping the wrong things. The little fart heads went off on me and told me that I was worshipping the wrong way and I needed to read this little book, even tried to get me to talk to a guy in my hometown on the phone that had converted to Mormonism and would help me understand their religion.
I finally just said leave , don't come back to my house ever again . They were smart arse little twirps.

I had a similar experience when at LSU. I got bored pretty quickly and explained that I was a Roman Catholic an was pretty firm in those beliefs. They were welcome to come by any time but we would not rehash the same conversation again.
On the other hand, I had a very different experience with some Pentecostal ladies that came by my house repeatedly. One morning I was skinning some squirrels and they came into my back yard and started preaching. I was tired from hunting and wasn’t in the mood. I had to get a little more firm with those folks!

Who gives two fricks about whether Mormons are considered christains or not?

Joseph Smith and Mohammed had a lot in common.
Mormonism is a white American version of Islam.

Down vote away, but the Trinity is one of the most retarded doctrines ever. Jesus is referred to as the firstborn of all creation. Just look at that explanation of "One God in three Persons." That is not found anywhere in Judaism. So Jesus himself practiced a false religion while on earth?
Belief in the trinity is not the defining characteristic of being a Christian.

Mormon “family bloggers” who exploit their kids for views on YouTube have made me grown to hate them even more as a religious group.

Christ fulfilled/completed Judaism. Do you not understand the "New" part of New Covenant/Testament?
Christ practiced Judaism to perfection. that is why he qualified as the sacrificial lamb.

How do Christians explain all the Christian and non Christian flavors? Why does God allow so many more than 1?
Same question for Mormons?
What gives? After all, salvation is rather important. Astray…why?

Funny.
My fav is the fella who carries giant cross and sets up street preaching at the worst places and times (eg, Bourbon St at 3am on Sat night).
Proactive preaching b4 Bourbon St is even a plan just might be more effective?

Well except for the violence and armies and terrorism. Maybe Mormonism is just a less successful version.

Kinda jealous. I couldn’t pull that off. I can’t even get my own wife to suck my dick no more.

The Pentecostals used to come out of the woods once a week or so to grocery shop in Pineville.
We knew they existed but never saw where their dens were. Tight community. Very odd people but mostly harmless.
Mormons are Christian adjacent. But their 3 headed god is a deal breaker.
