There's MUCH more to actual real theological study than the ridiculous straw man of "well Joseph Smith said this one thing one time so that must be Mormon doctrine" . Joseph Smith, like all men, was a sinner. LDS Christians don't hold him or anyone else up to automatic infallibility at all...

(Actual practicing "Mormon" here) Actually, LDS Christians believe that Jesus Christ was conceived within the virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit, as described in Luke. 99.9% of the time when somebody uses the term "Mormon" they are referring to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day...

Yes, as previously stated--

Again: “Mormons” acknowledge Jesus Christ as the divine Son of God.

(Actual “Mormon” here) LDS Christians believe that Christ alone is the Son of God. 101G’s statements are not in line with LDS Christian ones.

Yes and yes. My family is LDS Christian, but my decision is separate from that. I’ve also throughly studied dozens of different faiths (I’m a nerd that way). Those folks are obviously Christians and will be spending eternity dancing around with Christ. Difference in theology do matter, and...

:) If you want to know anything, just ask-- I'm an actual "Mormon", though not one of the 15% that live in Utah (honestly I really dislike Utah as a place to live). For one quick clarification: myself and other LDS Christians believe that salvation comes through Christ & faith in Him. You...

1) You're once again ignoring my point. 2) You're ignoring that most Christians (by any measure) aren't Catholic. 3) The pope and Christ are two different people. Even as a Catholic you can acknowledge that. Don't equate exactly following Francis with following Christ.

You are ignoring my central point that the definitions you’re using are hose posted by the Catholic Church and accepted by Catholics. Everyone else can and do use different definitions. For example: I do not considered a baptized baby to be a Christian. I do acknowledge the Christianity of...

No. They differ in at several major ways: 1) I do not add the requirement of any religious rituals. I don't see a baptized baby as a Christian at all. Rather, a person has to choose to follow Christ. That's not to say I don't think religious rituals are important (I certainly do!), but they...

Your definitions are entirely dependent upon a person acknowledging the Catholic Church's definitions as authoritive. Vast majority of people don't. "Non-Catholics" = the 6.5 billion people of this world that aren't baptized Catholics + whatever proportion of the 1.3 billion baptized...

Again, according to the Catholic Church. Doesn’t hold any revelance to non-Catholics.

This is all definitions according the the Catholic Church. It doesn’t hold much water for non-Catholics.

My comment was said specifically because I disagree with principle of making charts like that, and instead suggest a different approach.

You're very silly for assuming any political alignment for me.

I'm going to respectfully disagree with you on that, and just leave it.

You're mixing up a bunch of different topics here.

Hey, just FYI, when posting on a forum, if you want people to respond to you it's best to keep things short. It's not really possible to respond to someone's sermon.

Actual "Mormon" here-- Yes, that verse is interpreted as a commandment to Adam & Eve / descendants to have children and replenish the Earth. And yes, this was God's original design and a large part of why He created the Earth in the first place. However, that doesn't mean it should be taken...

Obviously people aren't clones of one another. :) My point is that if I want to understand what Catholics* in general believe, then I should read/attend "A What Do Catholic believe" course taught by Catholics. Ask an actual Catholic person what they believe, why, and how it affects their...
