IS MORMONISM PART OF CHRISTIANITY? HERE ARE QUOTES FROM MORMON LEADERS, MAKING THEMSELVES CLEAR ON THE ISSUE: "In the official version of Joseph Smith's first vision, he is told that all of the churches are not only wrong, but corrupt and abominations. The Book of Mormon makes it clear that all non-Mormon churches belong to the mother of abominations: the w**re of all the earth (1 Nephi 14:10). When Smith was asked, 'Will all be damned, but the Mormons?' He said, 'Yes, unless they repent.' So from its inception, Mormonism has held a very low view of Christianity. And there is more. Brigham Young said that Christians were 'groveling in darkness, heathens, ignorant, devoid of fact or any true principle, and converted into paganism.’ President John Taylor said Christianity was 'hatched in hell' and 'a perfect pack of nonsense.’ Apostle Daniel H. Wells said Christianity was a 'failure' and a 'monstrous iniquity.’ Apostle Orson Pratt said Christians were 'a set of wicked Apostates, murderers, and idolaters,' and, 'the w**re of Babylon.’ President Wilford Woodruff said the Christian gospel 'shuts up the Lord.' Apostle Erastus Snow said Christian teachings are ‘crude, erroneous, and lead to infidelity.' President Spencer W. Kimball said Christian ministers were 'presumptuous and blasphemous.' And apostle Bruce McConkie called Christianity a 'cult, false church, and a perversion of the gospel.' He said Christians 'believe a lie' and a 'mythical Christ.' "
