Many Mormons make the claim to be true "Christians." When you compare their teachings with basic, orthodox Christian doctrines they do NOT agree.

Compare the claims in this article and see for yourself if ''Mormonism is Christian or not?''

THE PRE EXISTENCE OF JESUS CHRIST

MORMONISM: The Mormon Jesus was born in the heavens as a spirit-child of "heavenly father" named Elohim, an exalted man, and one of his spirit-wives by sexual relations. Lucifer, who became Satan the Devil, is the brother of this Mormon Jesus. (The Gospel Through the Ages, p. 15; History of the Church, Vol 6 p. 308, 474.).

CHRISTIANITY: Jesus Christ is not created, but is eternal, and has always been God. (See Timothy 1: 16: John 1: 1-3; Micah 5:2 1 Timothy 3:16 ; Titus 2:13 ; Revelation 1:8; Matt. 1:23 ).

THE EARTHLY BIRTH

MORMONISM: Elohim, the Mormon heavenly father, came to this earth in human form and had sex relations with the Virgin Mary, who was no longer a virgin, and she gave birth to the Mormon Jesus as a result. (See Doctrines of Salvation Vol. 1:18; Orson Pratt, The Seer, p. 158; and Journal of Discourses 8:115 quoting Brigham

CHRISTIANITY: Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary as "Emmanuel", "God with us." (See Matt. 1:23 ) Jesus was conceived in the Virgin Mary's womb when the Holy Spirit came upon her.) See Matt. 1:20).

THE EARTHLY LIFE OF JESUS CHRIST

MORMONISM: The Mormon Jesus was the bridegroom at Cana of Galilee according to the Mormon interpretation of John 2:1-2 and was therefore married to at least one wife while on earth. (See Journal of Discourses, Vol 2, p. 82 quoting Orson Hyde (Apostle).

CHRISTIANITY: There is no biblical record of Jesus marrying. A reading of the account in John 2:1-12 shows Jesus was "invited" to the wedding. Bridegrooms do not receive invitations to their own weddings!

YOUR MOTHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN?

MRS. GOD

MORMONISM: teaches that God the father has many wives in heaven, thereby resulting in not only a father in heaven , but a mother-in-heaven. All Mormons on earth today believe they were originally the result of such sexual, heavenly union. (See Orson Pratt. The Seer, p37; also Mormon Doctrine by Bruce McConkie, p. 516)

CHRISTIANITY: The Bible has absolutely no mention of any such "wives" of God the Father.

VIEW OF THE BIBLE

MORMONISM: "Ignorant translators, careless subscribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errors--many plain and precious things were deleted, in consequence of which error and falsehood poured into the various churches. One of the greatest heresies of modern Christendom is the unfounded assumption that the bible contains all the inspired teachings now extant among men." (Mormon Doctrine p. 82, 83).

CHRISTIANITY: "All scripture is given by God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. " 2 Timothy 3:16-17).

"Thy word is very pure". (Psalms 119:140)

BAPTISM FOR THE DEAD AND GENEALOGY

MORMONISM: Mormons research genealogies and get baptized in their temples in proxy for their dead relatives. They misinterpret 1 Corinthians 15: 29 "Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

CHRISTIANITY: Doing genealogies is useless for the Christian. (See 1 Timothy 1:3, 4). 1 Corinthians, Chapter 15, is on the subject of the resurrection, not baptism. I Cor. 15:29 shows the folly of THOSE (not WE believers but THOSE unbelievers) who denied the resurrection, and yet practiced the pagan rite of "baptism for the dead." Hebrews 9:27 shows that once a person is dead, he faces judgment. Nothing the living do can change this.

VIEW OF THE CHURCH

MORMONISM: There is no salvation outside the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." (Mormon Doctrine p. 670).

All other churches are entirely destitute of all authority from God; and any person who receives baptism or the Lord's Supper from their hands will highly offend God; for He looks upon them as most corrupt of all people. Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the whore of Babylon ." (The Seer, p. 255).

CHRISTIANITY: The Church in the Bible is the entire born-again body of believers in the true Jesus Christ of the Bible. (Almighty God manifested in the flesh). It is not a man-made organization with a false prophet at it's head!

The true church partakes of the Lord's Supper of bread and grape juice, not water as the Mormons use. (See John 3:3-7; Ephesians 1:22 ,23; 4:11 -16; Matthew 26:26-30.)

IN CONCLUSION:

As will be evident by this time, in the reading of this article, Mormonism is NOT Christian. Further, Mormonism has made vicious attacks against the body of Christ in all denominations.

This article and others like it, is an honest attempt to defend the true Gospel of Jesus Christ and point out the errors of those "coming to us preaching ANOTHER JESUS, ANOTHER GOSPEL WITH A DIFFERENT SPIRIT." (See 2 Corinthians 11:4)
