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.

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,

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.
