Mormons are christian. Im mormon. We believe in Jesus Christ just like everyone else. Just because some of our believes are different from you guys doesn't mean we're not christian. Why can't people understand that? Some of the stuff you hear about our "Mormon" Church isn't even true. People just want to asume bad things about us so they will have something to talk about. Oh, by the way we don't like to refer to our church as the "Mormon" church. It is call the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I am an atheist and I believe you are a christian. Anger rules you. Try not to right in all bold next time. I consider it rude.

"latter day saints" is interesting. Precisely what cimics (and maybe snt.johnny) is pointing out.

Legalized polygamy?

We don't practice polygamy anymore. That was centurys ago. And the only reason we did that is because of a war. The widows wasn't able to provide for them selves so obvisouly they needed a husband and their wasn't much men around because they were killed in the war. So those who were alive and married; they married another women to help them out. I didn't understand it at first either and I didn't like the idea of our church practiceing that back than. But as I thought more about it I started to understand that they didn't do it to be dirty they did to help the women and so that their son or daughter could have a father.

Im glad you don't. Its good that people study other peoples believes.

kat. Just gotta ask. What religion were you involved with before Mormonism? (if any)

kat88622825 · « **Reply #8 on:** September 22, 2005, 05:51:41 PM »

I was always mormon. And I know what people think about us but im proud to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. :)

Okay. Have you ever considered the possibility that your religion is "new" pertaining to History? Has this ever led you to wonder why? And did this in any way lead you to study and consider other religions?

But here is THE question. You hear of what makes a religion "christian". Snt.johnny for example tells/speaks of the creeds (apostles/niceen/athanasian - did I get that right, lol) as one/or the defining point which seperates "christians" from all other religions. Does your religion include the creeds?

kat88622825 · « **Reply #10 on:** September 22, 2005, 06:31:40 PM »

I honestly can't say that I understand creeds. But I can say that my religion is christain. I beleive that with all my heart. I feel good about it.

Yay Kat!! You go girl! I am an Atheist and I believe you are a Christian to the fullest extent of the word!

How dare these pompus horses hind quarters tell you you are not what you know deep within your heart that you are?!

As long as you know exactly what you are, a Christian, then it matters not how these gobbers re-define the meaning and definition of the word to suit their own self-interests!

I support you! Keep on rockin' in the free world! 8)

Thank you Heretic.

Why are you Christian? (Just curious)

kat88622825 · « **Reply #17 on:** September 24, 2005, 11:16:35 AM »

Because I feel it is the right thing for me to be. Why do you ask?

kat88622825 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 24, 2005, 11:30:13 AM »

There is one thing I haven't heard anyone mention. And that's the Book of Mormon.

kat88622825 · « **Reply #19 on:** September 24, 2005, 11:35:21 AM »

In Alma 46: 14-15 It says "True believers in Christ are called Christians." Thats out of the Book of Mormon.
