re: The fix is in: Mormon exclusion from Christian list has been 'corrected'

I knew this Mormon guy when I worked for my former employer. He was a great guy - straight up decent family guy.
Their practice of sending out their young men (two to a team) to evangelize impressed me. I once engaged a team in a brisk discussion on my version of Christianity. It was a brisk but respectful exchange.
Bottom line, I have nothing but good things to say about the Mormons. Even though they were founded by a dude who partook of the weed a little too much and hallucinated to the point he thought a salamander was a prophet sent from God.
Hey, stuff happens.

James 2:16 For if a brother or sister be naked and destitute, and one of you say, Depart in peace, be warmed and filled; notwithstanding he give not those things which are needful to the body; what profit is your faith unto such?
James 2:17 Even so faith, if it have not works is dead, being alone.
James 2:18 Therefore wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead and cannot save you?
James 2:19 Thou believest there is one God; thou doest well; the devils also believe, and tremble; thou hast made thyself like unto them, not being justified.
James 2:20 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
James 2:21 Seest thou how works wrought with his faith, and by works was faith made perfect?
James 2:22 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God.
James 2:23 Ye see then that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
James 2:24 Likewise also Rahab the harlot was justified by works, when she had received the messengers and sent them out another way.
James 2:25 For, as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead.

They may be a small voting block but they do have money and they do vote more conservatively, although I think that's changing.

How can Mormonism be Christian when the whole premise of LDS faith is based not on Christ’s teachings, but Joseph Smith’s? It can’t be.

I mean, if the definition of “Christian” is “one who worships Jesus Christ” ; then yes Mormonism is a form of Christianity
This is incorrect.

That's just it...it's not based on Joseph Smith's teachings...it's based on Brigham Youngs teachings who claimed he was quoting Joseph.

I don't think anyone is taking issue with Mormons as people. The issue is their 'Christianity.' All one has to do is read (good luck understanding) the Book of Mormon. I once described it as 'poorly written science fiction' to a friend and I stand by that description.
They are certainly family people, they are preppers (each family must have 6 months' worth of supplies in the home), and they MUST continually practice tithing (or they are not allowed in the Temple). They practice secret rituals in that Temple and only card-carrying members can enter said Temple. I don't know of any other religion that doesn't allow non-members and visitors to enter their houses of worship. Even muslims allow non-muslims in mosques.
Fwiw, they now send out girls as missionaries also.

Good, the Mormons I have ever met or known are more Christian than most baptists, Catholics, Lutherans, and Church of Christ people I have met or known.

Do you have primary resources that back your assertion? And, let's say you're right, they are still holding BY as a major prophet and leader, have named their university network after him, etc. They could have very well rejected his 'theology' after his death and returned to a truly Christian religion. But the attraction of polygamy was too powerful for both him and his predecessor.
Here are some very interesting readings that don't gloss over the issues with this denomination:

'A House Full of Females' is excellent and contains many quotes from primary sources. There are also primary sources in the bibliography at the end for additional reading and research. Lots of fascinating information from the mouths of those who lived the life!

They are really lowering the bar on what a Christian is. If you can’t agree with the Nicene or Athanatian creeds, you aren’t Christian.

Their President (a very elderly man historically) is their leader and is considered a living prophet and revelator. Every 6 months they have a General Conference in which the President announces his latest 'revelations.' In other words, their Heavenly Father continues to 'reveal' stuff to them through him.
That's how they changed the fact that blacks could become members in the 1970s, for example.
HF is probably getting ready to reveal that gays should be allowed to be full members as well, so stand by. Amazing things can be revealed every 6 months!

When? when he asks them to donate a destroyer or something?
You don't give a shite about Mormons, just another nit to pick that will be forgotten in a week.

There were 2 professors who decided to examine the original book of mormon and these are a few things that they found:
Joseph Smith wrote the book of mormon when he was 23 years of age with no college degree and only 3 years of formal schooling about an ancient history that covers 2600 years and is about 2 distinct and separate nations.
They described economic/social/cultural and institution of these 2 nations and weaved both into the pattern of christian living.
They found 180 new proper nouns of the english language...Shakespeare only added 30.
It was written in 28 days and the transcriber did not read back the last sentence when it was begun again after breaks.
Did you read the original book of mormon or the utah version?

Same kind of argument is used for all the major religions particularly Islam
Doesn't move the needle on whether or not they are Christian.
However, believing that Jesus isnt God and that the Trinity is really three separate entities sure goes a long way in determining that
