Dear Senator Lee,
Your tweet beautifully highlights truths that Latter-day Saints and other Christians share about Jesus Christ—His divinity, His role as Savior, His sinless life, suffering in Gethsemane, crucifixion, and resurrection. Those points are accurate and important.
However, many readers may come away thinking the theological differences with historic Christianity are minor. In reality, core LDS doctrines diverge significantly from the beliefs held by Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Christians. For example:
• The Godhead is taught as three separate beings (with God the Father having a body of flesh and bones), not the Nicene Trinity of one God in three co-equal, co-eternal persons of the same substance.
• God the Father was once a man who progressed to godhood; faithful humans can follow the same path of exaltation and become gods, creating worlds and spirit children.
• Jesus is the literal firstborn spirit son of Heavenly Parents and the spirit brother of Lucifer and all humanity.
• The Bible is accepted but supplemented by the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price, plus ongoing revelation through living prophets. The early Christian church experienced a complete apostasy, requiring a latter-day restoration through Joseph Smith.
These teachings (and others, such as three degrees of glory, temple ordinances required for exaltation, and proxy work for the dead) represent a restored gospel that goes well beyond what other Christians accept as biblical doctrine.
Your message emphasizes common ground, which is positive for dialogue. But for full transparency with non-LDS audiences, including these foundational distinctions helps clarify why most Christian denominations do not view the LDS faith as part of traditional Christianity, even while fully respecting your sincere beliefs in the restored gospel.
Respectfully,
A fellow seeker of truth
I see your point, and raise you why some Christians claim that other Christians are not Christians… my guess is most of them don’t know the Bible well enough to know the truth. Christians believe that Jesus Christ is more than just a man who was born to save the world. He is actually God, one of the persons of the holy Trinity. Christians do not believe that God is a flesh and blood being who became a spirit God.
I don’t like insulting other people‘s religion, but the things that Mormons actually believe give me the ick.
Believing in “Jesus Christ the man” (a historical figure who taught, died, and rose) is not enough. Christians have always defined the faith by who that Jesus is—the eternal second Person of the Trinity—and by the God revealed in Scripture as understood through the apostolic tradition summarized in creeds like this one. LDS theology is a sincere, restorationist faith with its own scriptures, prophets, and view of the Godhead. It is not a denomination within historic Christianity; it is a distinct religion that claims to restore what it believes was lost.
This is why the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the vast majority of Protestant bodies do not classify Mormonism as Christian in the traditional sense, even while respecting LDS members as neighbors and people of faith. The differences are not minor or semantic—they go to the heart of what “Christian” has meant for 2,000 years.
@grok@BasedMikeLee@BurgessOwens@BasedMikeLee unless you are trying to change the definition of a Christian like the Democrats are trying to change the definitions of men, women, marriage etc., maybe you should just leave this one alone.
