[font=comic sans ms]Blame that on some Protestant denominations who do not know any better--who are in perpetual denial of their history. It is quite amusing when these denominations try to deal with Church history--most often, they are in some form of denial. Objective historians, though, will all agree that [i]all[/i] Protestant denominations came from the Catholic Church. Atheists, remarkably, with their sharp wits, actually call Protestants 'rebel Catholics'.[/font]

[B][font=comic sans ms]Some Protestant denominations, notably Evangelical ones, do not consider Mormons as Christians. I won't elaborate on the reason why, though.[/font] [/B][/QUOTE]

Why won't you elaborate? I too would like to know why we aren't considered Christians. It's in our name for Pete's sake.

How sad. (In 1st Peter God says not to fight over little differences in "beliefs")
The only thing I think you need to belive in order to be christain is that. That Jesus died and rose again for your sins.
My Church is in fact Evangelical meaning:
1. We believe in the holy spirit
2. We believe in "speaking in tounges" & Heaven sent visions

How I know this, you can basically call my dad a theologist. (He reads a translated Jewish newspaper, and we have hundreds of bible reference books)

[font=comic sans ms]It's [i]theologian[/i], not theologist. There's no such word.

And OutlawDragon, many Christian denominations don't even begin to make ends nor tails of LDS theology. It's not orthodox Christian theology, that's for sure.

But really, this is neither the forum for such discussions. It is a contentious issue. I would like to delve into it, but in the right forum, not here. And I am quite tired of such discussions, having been in religious boards for sometime. The discussions there are so heated that I just have to beg off. You'll end up having a heart attack just dealing with the people there.[/font]

[B]Alright I don't quite understand the Trinity thing. My church doesn't believe in the trinity, and since I've been in this chruch all of my life, I was wondering how excatly is it possible for Jesus to throw his voice into the sky and say he is his own son, when he was baptized. So if you would kindly explain to me how this works I would appericate it.

P.S. I'm LDS(Latter Day Saints, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or Mormon)

The trinity is not meant to be understood by anyone but God

the concept is that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all different but are part of one being. i you cant understand it then dont worry no one can
