Man oh man this is enough to make your head spin. Let me add on to this subject as to why Mormons are not considered "christians".


Deuteronomy 4:2 states:


Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.


and Revelation 22:18 states:


For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:


So in both the Old Covenant and the New Covenant we are told not to add to the word of God and Mormons with their "another testament of Jesus Christ" have done just that. It would be the same thing if a group calling themselves muslims stated they had "another revelation of Allah" through "another prophet of Allah". No muslim would accept that because to them Muhammed was the final prophet with the final revelation. The same goes for the christian faith. Christ was the seal (for us) and his words as recorded by his Apostles or companions if you will, is the final word. And anyone who comes with "another testament" is not to be accepted.


Another point that can be pointed out to show why Mormons are not accepted as "christians" is the practice of plural wives.


Genesis 2:24 states:


Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.


Jesus Christ repeated this point as Matthew 19:5 states:


And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh.


Paul then follows this in his letter to the believers in Ephesus:


Ephesians 5:31


For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.


In all three accounts we see one man, one woman. Mormons have disobeyed this commandment and practice polygamy "poly" meaning many and "gamy" meaning wife.


I would also like to touch on the point Reep made about Mormons and their idea of God. Mormons believe that each man, if he lives according to the "principle" will, upon physical death, become a God with his own universe to rule. NO WHERE does the Bible teach this!! The Mormons believe that the God of this world began his existence as a physical man and "ascended" to God-hood...Blasphemy of the highest order


A good book to read concerning Mormon theology is The Kingdom of the Cults by Walter Martin
