"In fact, while not a true sect Christian sect, Mormons have far more missionaries than anyone"
Do you want to know what I just found out recently? The entire reason why Catholics and Protestants say the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not a Christian religion is because we don't believe in the Catholic creeds definition of the Trinity. That's it.
The creeds were written starting in the 3rd century. They are not part of the Bible. And the craziest thing about them is the concept of the nature of God was what Thomas Aquinas took from Aristotle. Aristotle was not a Christian or a Jew. He lived long before Jesus was born. He was trying to figure out how the universe came into existence. He came up with a concept he called the "unmoved mover". It was not a god, but an entity without body, parts or passions that was responsible for the creation of everything. Aquinas liked that definition and claimed that this was God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. They were all that same being and they did not have body, parts or passions.
So because we don't believe in that version of who God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are then nearly the entire Christian world h as claimed were not Christian.
Jesus never defined who was a follower of His by that definition because that definition did not exist until several centuries after He was crucified. That definition is not found in the Bible. The Bible never once said that they are 3 personages in one being. The Bible said that God created man in His own image. Many of the Old Testament prophets claimed to have spoken with God face to face as one man speaks to another.
Jews never believed in a God like that, some do now but not back in Jesus' time.
And then you, an atheist, pick up on what others say and run with it. Why? Were did you get the idea that we were racists? Did you know that Joseph Smith, who, by the way, was poor, saved up his money to buy a man who was a slave just to free him. One of the reasons why the state of Missouri passed a law that made it legal to kill members of the LDS Church was because we had become a significant presence in the state and we were abolitionists. Missouri was pro-slavery. They didn't want the LDS people voting slavery out of the state of Missouri.
Hey Modda? Are you still with me? No? That's what I thought. Take your Adderall and come back in an hour and try to finish this for a change. Just one time, that is all I am asking.
