[LEGO Joseph Smith @Mormonger]

Am I supposed to act like this isn't obvious evangelical propaganda disguised as a chart? 😂

Nearly every LDS belief is framed in the least charitable way possible, while every Protestant belief is presented in its most favorable form.

Let's go through it...

"Mormonism vs Christianity"

The title commits the fallacy of begging the question before the discussion even begins.

Latter-day Saints worship Jesus Christ as the divine Son of God, believe He died for sins, rose from the dead, and is humanity's Savior. Calling LDS believers "non-Christian" simply because they reject later creeds is not an argument—it's gatekeeping.

The real question is whether the Nicene tradition or the Restoration more accurately reflects apostolic Christianity.

- "Bible Alone"

The chart pretends "Bible alone" is historic Christianity.

It isn't.

For over a thousand years there was no Protestantism and no doctrine of sola scriptura. Catholics, Orthodox, and other ancient Christians all reject Bible-alone theology.

So the chart is ironically presenting a distinctly Protestant doctrine as if it were the universal Christian position.

- "God is one God"

The chart sneaks in an entire philosophical system and labels it "biblical."

The doctrine of an immaterial, timeless, metaphysically simple being owes at least as much to Greek philosophy as to the Bible.

The God of scripture talks, acts, responds, loves, grieves, becomes angry, forgives, and enters relationships.

The LDS God looks much more like the God portrayed in scripture than the abstract philosophical Absolute developed centuries later.

- "Jesus is a created being"

This is simply false.

Latter-day Saints believe Christ existed before the world and participated in creation itself.

Evangelical critics often repeat "created being" because it sounds shocking, not because it accurately represents LDS theology.

If a critic has to distort your beliefs to refute them, that is usually a sign of a weak argument.

- "Grace + works"

This is perhaps the most misleading line in the entire chart.

LDS doctrine explicitly teaches that salvation comes through the grace of Jesus Christ.

The actual disagreement is whether discipleship, covenant faithfulness, repentance, baptism, and obedience matter after one accepts Christ.

Ironically, the New Testament repeatedly teaches that they do.

The chart acts as if every passage about obedience suddenly disappears once Ephesians 2 is quoted.

- "Humans become gods"

Critics often present this as if Joseph Smith invented the idea.

Yet early Christian theologians taught deification long before Joseph Smith was born.

The famous teaching that "God became man so that man might become god" was not written by a Mormon—it was written by Athanasius, one of the heroes of orthodox Christianity.

The real debate is not whether humans can participate in divine life. The debate is how fully that participation extends.

- "Atonement not sufficient"

No faithful Latter-day Saint believes Christ's atonement is insufficient.

None.

Every ordinance, covenant, act of repentance, and act of obedience derives its saving power from Christ.

This criticism confuses "Christ's grace requires a response" with "Christ's grace is insufficient."

Those are not remotely the same claim.

The biggest problem...

The chart never actually argues for Nicene Christianity.

It simply assumes Nicene Christianity is true and then declares every disagreement wrong by definition.

That is not evidence.

That is circular reasoning.

The chart's hidden argument is:

Historic Christianity is true because historic Christianity says it is true.

But the entire Restoration claim is that major theological changes occurred after the apostles. Merely appealing to later tradition does nothing to answer that claim.
