That feels like a very superficial way to define Christianity. Symbols on a building don’t determine whether someone is a disciple of Christ, faith in Him does. Latter-day Saints worship Jesus Christ as the Son of God, crucified and resurrected for our salvation, which is the heart of Christianity.
Insisting that we’re not Christian because our churches don’t display a cross isn’t about theology, it’s about gatekeeping. Just think about what you're suggesting for a moment, and question whether your pride and judgement against the LDS for "self-identification as Christians" is something that Jesus himself would care about. Different traditions use different symbols, but discipleship to Christ has never been measured by architecture or the supposed approval of different sects of followers.
it's a form of denial of who the real Jesus is. That's how i see it, they have a different Jesus than the one in the Bible. Just like JW's. The mormons have lots of symbols, just look on the SLC temple. Lots of masonic stuff. Just check your underwear buddy.
Mocking sacred practices and reducing faith to “check your underwear” isn’t a serious argument, it’s just an attempt to insult. Latter-day Saints worship the same Jesus of the New Testament: born of Mary, crucified, resurrected, and the source of salvation.
You don’t have to agree with our interpretation of His nature, but dismissing it as a “different Jesus” or resorting to ridicule doesn’t change the reality of our discipleship. We follow Christ, and that is the definition of being Christian.
Your Jesus is the spirit brother of Lucifer, a created being. Jesus of the Bible is God himself, fully eternal without beginning or ending, the alpha and the omega. Don't mock the cross, and I won't mock your underwear symbols or those on your temple.
That’s a distortion of our belief. Latter-day Saints worship Jesus Christ as the divine Son of God, crucified and resurrected as our Savior. His role is utterly unique, not interchangeable with Lucifer. But if you also believe that God created all, then by your own beliefs, we are all His children, even Lucifer. So how do you define God's children as anything other than being “brothers and sisters”?
You can’t claim we twist doctrine for saying what you just said yourself. Calling that a “different Jesus” is just inconsistency dressed up as gatekeeping.
As for the “underwear” mockery, garments aren’t “magical” or worshipped. They’re a personal covenant reminder, much like a wedding ring, meant to keep us mindful of sacred commitments, including fidelity in marriage. Or are you mocking us for our fidelity, and arguing for the case of adultery? Dismissing that as superstition says more about you personally than about what we actually believe. It's honestly a lazy and very childish line of argument.
