@FreeWorldFarmer@shanesmith336@howertonjosh LDS are closer to Islam than Christianity.
Not believing in the triune Godhead is instant disqualification. It makes Mormons polytheist heretics.
God the Father wasn’t a regular person. One cannot become God.
There were no golden plates revealed to Joseph smith. It’s hogwash
@crapolavich@TheRhetorRick Orthodox / Catholics / main line Prots all consider each other incorrect on small doctrinal differences but agree that the others are Christians.
All reject LDS as heresy.
This relationships are not the same
@deseretCactus@TheRhetorRick “We don’t tell other people that they aren’t Christians only that their church is dead”
Do you even hear yourself?
Is the cult programming that deep?
@catholicspaceem@AppyBeard Further they claim we don’t get their doctrine or what they are saying.
Repeating back their doctrine to them and then saying yes I understand and that’s why you are a heretic.
Been 1700 years since Nicaea. Crazy
@MThompson95@BowTiedRanger It’s always the same thing…
“No! You don’t understand our doctrines”
Let me guess you believe in 3 distinct gods. The father, son, and Holy Spirit.
Okay great that makes you a non Christian.
You are a polytheist. Christianity = 1 God
Nicene creed. In or out
@WalrusMegazord@LatterDayJester@BowTiedRanger I’ve tried explaining to LDS they are closer to Islam than Christianity but they never want to hear it…
Polygamy, “believe” in Christ, heretical beliefs about the scriptures, claim the scriptures & or church was corrupted, believe they have received the final revelation, etc
@64ozDrPepper@bumpkin45@BowTiedRanger It’s almost like we spent 2000+ years dealing with what is and isn’t Christianity.
Then LDS comes along claiming they are the “true Christians” with zero willingness to look at history or tradition.
It’s all so tiresome
@YelCed94@BowTiedRanger Brother I know your doctrines.
You believe in three distinct gods and revelations handed down on golden plates.
It’s non-Christian. You can claim to be but the Orthodox/Catholic/Protestants all reject LDS as heretical. This is a settled matter and has been for years.
@YelCed94@BowTiedRanger You are not a Christian and don’t get to claim what is or isn’t Christianity.
Christianity has deemed LDS a heretical cult. This is settled matter between Prots/Orthodox/Catholics.
Again I tell you Mormons are closer to Muslims than Christians. If this bothers you reflect.
@YelCed94@BowTiedRanger Nope.
You believe in three distinct gods. The father son and Holy Spirit.
Christianity is the fulfillment of Judaism which whole distinction was that it was monotheistic.
No real Christian can be a polytheist. It’s antithetical to the religion.
@WinkBlink9@aidannonx Like a child you whine but you have no discernment.
LDS is not Christian no matter how much you want to be.
Rejected by the Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant churches.
@HansFiene@DanBell@AaronRHolloway1 Creedal Christians have gone through 2000+ years of various sects and cults claiming Christianity.
All of these matters are settled. Mormons seem to be ignorant of history or otherwise willing to hand wave away contradictions with their “scripture”.
Whenever the "Mormons Aren't Christians" discourse gets going, Mormon Twitter generally responds in one or more of the following ways:
1. Insist that rejecting Jesus's divine nature and His work does not disqualify them from "believing" in Jesus
2. "We are literally the kindest and most righteous people on earth."
3. "Your churches are an abomination but we are just like you and it's so mean of you to say otherwise."
4. Accuse of us misrepresenting what they believe and then tell us what they actually DO believe, which is exactly what we just said they believe.
5. Outright lie about what they believe.
@_matt_hulse_@APienstein@Latterdaytruth If you hold the Mormon cannon as true then yes we do know what you believe.
Do you hold the Nicene creed to be true?
Are you a monotheist who believes in a triune God?
You can be your own religion but Christianity has a definition and you fall outside it.
