They believe in a different Jesus than the one described in the Bible. The mormon Jesus is a created being, the spirit brother of Lucifer, the devil. The Christian Jesus is the fullness of deity (God) in human flesh. Mostly though mormons are polytheists (many gods). It is central to their doctrine which includes polygamy. Christianity is monotheistic (one eternal God, without beginning and without end). You are either one or the other. You cannot be both. This one fact alone excludes mormons from true Christianity.
I don't see any facts here. they incorporate the whole Bible in their beliefs, which means it is the same Jesus, and not polytheistic.
Again, the Bible itself speaks of many 'gods', but that does not mean the Bible is polytheistic. So no, you sound nuts. People also read the Bible and conclude that the Earth is flat. Human understanding of the Bible is subject to many human errors, which I believe you have displayed here nicely. edit: and yes, just downdoot when you run out of logical arguments.
you can find a contradiction there as easily as many find a contradiction between a firmament and a spherical earth. but that's a pretty worldly interpretation, and hardly conclusive.
no, they don’t believe Jesus is God. They believe that when you die, you become a God, have your own planet, and continues to propagate it with all of your wives as is suggested in this post. 🤷♀️
that’s not saying that I don’t think that some Mormons are saved.
that’s not saying that I don’t think some Catholics are saved
that’s not saying that I don’t think some Christians are saved.
it’s a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and only God truly knows if somebody has accepted him as their Lord and savior.
that’s what it comes down to. I cannot claim that all Mormons are going to hell, that would be a ridiculous statement!
but if you don’t believe Jesus is God, then you have a huge problem with blaspheming the Holy Spirit, which is the only unforgivable sin.
I'm pretty sure they follow the new testament though, so that may be a misunderstanding of their beliefs. the word 'god' is used many time in the Bible to refer to concepts other than the monotheistic JHVH. There is a reward in heaven, and 'god'like powers don't seem to conflict with the idea of JHVH and His only begotten son, Jesus Christ. The Bible still applies. So on behalf of all mormons, that is my issue with treating mormonism and Christianity as mutually exclusive.
do you not consider mormons to be Christians? why not?

Might blow your mind to know Jesus Christ never came to start a religion called Christianity.
He came to set men free, make the gift of holy spirit available and connect man to his God our Heavenly Father.
It's a relationship by birth. Now we are Son's of God also 1Jn says so. I wonder if you being a Son makes you God?
John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

It's how they interpret the bible and blend it with BofM and Doctrine and covenants.
As man is god once was, as god is man may become. https://www.mormonwiki.com/As_Man_Now_Is,_God_Once_Was
Read Isiah 44:6-8 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah%2044:6-8&version=NKJV
Now who sounds nuts.. lol

and... it's always the one citing the NKJV lol

Test of a Prophet can be used and seems pretty cut and dry
as in, whether their predictions come true? how does this apply?
