I do not know if this question was asked, but I have to ask it
Are Mormons Christians, or are Mormons a new off-shoot religion like Islam is. You know, some beliefs are similiar, others not so. Differing practices, rituals, organizations.
The thing I noticed about most Christian Denominations is that that they derive mainly from the three main chuches--Eastern Orthodox, Catholicism, Cypnotics--where Catholicism is the more fractured branch composed of Catholic and Protestants.
I keep trying to find exactly how Mormonism fit into Protestants movement--does it?
As some critics love to try and accuse us of being non-Christian there really is not a shred of substance to prove it. Our first article of faith states, We believe in God the eternal Father and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in The Holy Ghost. Jesus is the Saviour and redeemer of mankind. Yes we are Christian.
However we are different in our claim from all other Christians because we are not Catholic, but we are also not Protestant, because we don't protest any other church, and we are not Reformers, since we are not seeking to reform the Catholic church.
We call ourselves Restorationists because we believe Jesus restored that which was lost in the modern day church.
that is a very good question by the way. I really appreciate decent dialogue for a change.
