You asked about Mormons being Christian. They claim to be, although they acknowledge they are neither Catholic, Protestant to Orthodox. They are rewriting their beliefs to try to confrm today. Mormons teach God is flesh and bone and one of many, that just touches the differences.Most religions don't accept other religions as true..even their own.
But since you said OUR church..which one is that?
(Which is why I don't go to church to begin with).
I reply only to address why one would disagree with Mormom books being sold in a Christian bookstore. Not to debate the differences, since even the bookstore mentioned copped out with a business by contract answer.
The Protestants rewrote their beliefs to confront the theological status quo of their contemporaries and had major differences, but we have no difficulty thinking of them as Christians. Why the double standard with Mormons?
Don't misunderstand.
I think they are crackers and Smith either crazy or crazy like a fox, but they believe in the deity of Christ, so why shouldn't a Christian bookstore sell their stuff?
Much of the rest of what they sell is pretty crazy, too.
Bruce,
I'm sure you read a wide range of books.
We don't accept liberal books.
I'm sure that you will be able to find a church that is liberal and allows different things but they are places that I and other Christians avoid.
The pastors at church had an online bookstore and I recognized some Mormon authors. I complained and the difficulty level goes up when I go against a pastor. It took some of them a while but they eventually got rid of their online bookstore.
