I'm Christian, I have friends that are Catholic and it is very clear that Catholics and Christins in their roots were all Christians but the Catholic's base beliefs have been altered and twisted to the traditions of men, traditions that are found nowhere in the orginal Bible- KJV (which the Catholics usually use) NIV, Amplified, any Bible I've ever read, but I do find one verse that always seems to be in every Jesus based Bible: Mark 7:13 "Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like this." If you want to see a lot of ways the traditions of men twist the church (the people, not the building built by men and destroyed be men and nature) read: The Summons by Dennis McCallum. Great novel. Any other questions on traditions and vain beliefs of the Christian/Catholc faith, e-mail me at orodumkorda@yahoo.com, (one k, typo in my name here).
1: MORMON IS NOT A FORM OF CHRISTIANITY! Nothing is. It's a religion that worships my Jesus. But it has some different beliefs.
2: Deth, and the person he's quoting, and ALL the other people who have been immature, quit. I am a Christian, I've turned on the lights, and it offends me how your acting.
3: I left something out in my previous post... We won't pay for Christ's perfect life, we'll pay for our sinful life. That is all.
With exceptions, of course, for moderators and administrators who happen not to be Christian, but then again I really don't need to tell you guys that.
maybe he's really the Antichrist and he's trying to identify Christians so he can persecute them
I find this, combined with the username of the person who posted it really funny hehe. It should probably go without saying that we need not consider this to be the case. If it is, well that's harrassment and we won't allow it.
Nothing is a form of Christianity?
If you want to consider "types of Christianity" you need to define which taxonomical level you're talking at- all monotheistic religions, the same god, or denominations within the Judeo-Christian faith or what?

ok hypothetically if he was the Antichrist you honestly think you could actually stop him i mean c'mon he's the Antichrist anyways back to reality . . .

correct me if I'm wrong but don't the Mormons claim that the book of Mormon is an addition to the bible id est a third testament so wouldn't that make them a form of Christianity also Protestants have a lot of different beliefs from Catholics but they're both a form of Christianity
Wasn't planning on discussing this as a) I'm not a Christian b) this thread seems to be more of a roll-call than a place for discussion (there's plenty of other threads for that) but...

My understanding of theology is that by definition faith in Christ, properly exerted, always came out trumps over anything the anti-Christ might have planned, but the devil is in the details...yes, pun intended.
The funny part was that you're talking about the Antichrist and you happen to have the number of the Beast (a.k.a. the Devil's number) in your username.

In a sentence, I think the principal difference between Mormons and the other traditional/orthodox denominations of Christian church is that they do believe that it is valid to expand upon the Canon, and so in theory would still be adding to their sacred scriptures to this day, and all the differences that would result from this. Some other radical, independent churches that are purportedly Christian also do this, or take an entirely different view.
Matthewest that doesnt make sense then yoiur not christian. Its like people saying their catholic but dont go to church. May i remind you all that not going is breaking the third commandment =)
I also wouldnt call mormonism a branch of christianity. Personaly i think there all messed up brainwashed lunatics. goes back to when the guy said he saw a "Vision"
Lol Somers you think every Christian goes to church? I mean obviously they don't because Matthewest doesn't but you only consider a Christian a Christian if they go to church? Well that's gotta cut down on the number of Christians in the world. Oh and at deth about his name. I didn't mean to put death, but once I saw it, I had posted it, and I didn't want to double post just to correct that. There was also some talk about Mormons in another thread, but I don't remember which one. I was involved in it try to argue that they weren't. Does anyone know for sure if Mormonism is or isn't a bramch of Christianity? I'd like to know.

You could be Christian but not believe in everything that goes along with Christianity. For example, my friends cousin strongly believes in Christianity and wants to become a priest, however he is a homosexual. He does not think being a homosexual is wrong, however in the bible it says that it is. In the bible it says 'You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.' Also, if you have to go to church to be catholic, the number of catholics would plummet.
