People who believe this is the same BYU team that choked in the first round last year haven’t watched a single game of theirs this season.

[Matt Olsen @MattOlsen47]

@jackson5payne He wasn’t utilized enough at BYU

[Matt Olsen @MattOlsen47]

@Apetey222 Imagine how intimidating it would be to play against us there

[Matt Olsen @MattOlsen47]

@Mormonger Should be against the WoW tbh

[Matt Olsen @MattOlsen47]

@RedditCFB The committee didn’t even give us a chance to compete.

[Matt Olsen @MattOlsen47]

@LargeInStature_ I bet most people hating on it haven’t even seen it. I’m giving it a chance on Tuesday.

[Thoughtful-Faith @ThoughtfulSaint]

Have you ever been physically assaulted while trying to share your Christian faith?

I have. And I would bet a TON of the LDS on this app have.

Many people on this app talk a big game, but how many of them have been literally physically assaulted while trying to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world?

This app is full of internet warriors who won’t even show their real names.

But those boys out there in white shirts and ties are the real deal.

[Gwyneth @gwowls]

Today I'm officially leaving the LDS Church. I just heard for the very first time about this super niche bible verse in Galatians that actually disproves the whole religion!

I'd never even heard of "the bible" before. Glad we got that figured out. Anyway, see you at mass!

[Matt Olsen @MattOlsen47]

@WWUTTcom A “boring” book that’s converted 30+ million people to Christ since it’s been brought to light.

[Matt Olsen @MattOlsen47]

It’s crazy how many people in these comments believe God just stopped talking to His children after the Bible. Like He just left us on read and said ‘good luck I’m done trying’.

If God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, why would He all sudden stop speaking to us?

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

Read the Book of Mormon.

Cover to cover.

Pray about it, asking sincerely to know whether it’s true (the final chapter provides specific guidance on this point).

Then tell me whether Latter-day Saints believe in Jesus Christ.

Will you accept that challenge?

[Travis Lincoln Cox @TravLCox]

All this Mormons v "Christians" stuff has me cracking up. You're saying the devil has inspired a whole "cult" of people to live decent, kind, generous, Christ like lives, they even worship Christ, but the grand deception is in the fine print?

Lol.

[Hank Smith @hankrsmith]

Being rejected by the Christians of the United States is not new. From Missouri to Illinois, government officials not only failed to protect our ancestors from persecution — they often joined in it. Saints were stripped of their rights, shot at, and expelled. Children were executed. Women were assaulted. Then, even after fleeing the country, that same government sent an army to follow their bloody footprints into the Rocky Mountains. Elected officials then continued to harass, malign, and threaten to confiscate the Church’s private property for decades.

Now it is 2026, and the pattern has not entirely disappeared. The same government seeks to define what we believe. Voices on social media — most of them professing Christians — declare openly that our faith is obviously fraudulent or started by demons. Given that history, no one should be surprised when we respond with a touch of passion.

[LEGO Joseph Smith @Mormonger]

Your argument only works if you quietly smuggle the Nicene Creed into the definition of Christianity and then pretend you've proven something from the Bible.

You say Latter-day Saints aren't Christian because they reject later creedal theology. Fine. Then stop pretending your standard is "the Bible." Your actual standard is fourth-century Greek metaphysics.

Show me where the Bible teaches that God is "one being in three co-equal, co-eternal persons sharing one indivisible essence." Not a creed. Not a church council. A verse.

You can't.

You cite Deuteronomy 6:4 and Matthew 28:19, but neither passage teaches the Nicene doctrine of the Trinity. The Trinity is an inference constructed centuries later. Latter-day Saints reject that inference. That's not the same thing as rejecting Christ.

You also claim Mormons believe in a "different Jesus." That's rhetoric, not an argument.

Do Latter-day Saints believe Jesus is the divine Son of God? Yes.

Do they believe He created the world? Yes.

Do they believe He was born of Mary, performed miracles, atoned for sin, died on the cross, rose bodily from the dead, and will return in glory? Yes.

Those are not minor details. Those are the central claims of Christianity.

What you really mean is that Latter-day Saints reject later theological developments concerning the nature of God. That's a much narrower claim than "they worship a different Jesus."

The "spirit brother of Lucifer" line is especially weak. It's usually deployed because critics know it sounds shocking, not because it proves anything. In LDS theology, Christ is the divine Son of God, Creator, Redeemer, and Lord. Repeating "spirit brother of Lucifer" doesn't refute any of that. It's just polemics.

Your claim about salvation is equally misleading. Latter-day Saints do not believe they can earn salvation apart from Christ. They believe Christ's grace is necessary and indispensable. The disagreement concerns the relationship between faith, covenant, discipleship, and transformation—not whether Christ saves.

As for Galatians 1 and 2 Corinthians 11, quoting "another gospel" doesn't magically settle the debate. Every Christian tradition has used those verses against rival traditions. The question is whether Joseph Smith restored authentic Christianity. Quoting Paul's warning simply assumes your conclusion.

And the census argument is frankly irrelevant. Governments classify groups for demographic purposes, not theological ones. If tomorrow a census listed Baptists separately from evangelicals, that wouldn't determine who is or isn't Christian.

At bottom, your position is not "Mormons aren't Christian because of the Bible." Your position is "Mormons aren't Christian because they reject post-biblical creeds that I consider authoritative."

You're entitled to that definition. What you're not entitled to do is pretend that the definition came directly from Scripture when the very doctrines you're using as tests of Christianity were formulated centuries after the New Testament was written.

[Matt Olsen @MattOlsen47]

@Manhattva I’ve even seen some exmo’s on the left defending us as Christians

[Dr Manhattva @Manhattva]

I think it’s pretty clear that the religious right hates The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints more than the Left does.

I wonder how far they want to take this thing against us.

It’s making me reevaluate a whole lot of things.

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

As of two days ago, the Pentagon recognizes every Christian faith in America as Christian

Except one

That’s not okay, and it needs to change—now

Pass it on if you agree

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

If only we, as Latter-day Saints, belonged to a church that had “Jesus Christ” in its name and His image in its logo …

Oh wait

[Matt Olsen @MattOlsen47]

Didn’t think this had to be said but members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints believe in Jesus Christ.

[Matt Olsen @MattOlsen47]

I would never vote for someone who thinks they can dictate who’s Christian or not.

[Mark Fitzpatrick @oldstatemark]

No, I don’t hate Mormons. I love them.

I’ve met hundreds of LDS folks in the past 3 months on my campaign. They know me and my heart. And I’ve been close friends with many Mormons in my life. That will never change.

LDS already know this, but I simply have different beliefs about Jesus.

I know so many Mormons support me for Governor. What is happening seems to be a coordinated attack with exaggerations in an attempt to build up the the Left’s establishment support for the lying and deceiving Brad Little who is driving our great state full speed toward socialism.

On Tuesday, Mormons will vote for me if they want truth and transparency in their government. Or they will vote for Brad if they want deception, liberalism, bloated government, massive illegal immigration, etc.

Fitzpatrick for Governor is an obvious decision for anyone wanting truth!

[BYUFanGuy @BYUFanGuy]

🚨 Darryn Peterson is the clear #1 overall pick

6’6@ guard, elite scorer, 20+ PPG as a Kansas freshman. Devin Booker-level shot creation, three level game, and physicality. Highest upside in the draft by far.

Franchise cornerstone. Don’t overthink it.

Peterson #1. Lock it in.
