'Hey, I know a lot of Mormons, and I see them as just another denomination of Christianity. What makes you think you can attack them for what they believe? That seems extremely hypocritical.'

 
I’m sorry that any discussion of the differences between Mormonism and Christianity might seem like an 'attack', because that is really not my intention. Let me take a minute to explain. Christians for centuries have understood that there are many non-essential issues in our faith that we may disagree about, but would never divide over. But there are some essentials that define Christianity. If you believe in these essentials, you are a Christian. If you don’t, you are simply something else. While it is easy to claim that you are a Christian, if you don't accept the basic foundational beliefs of the faith, then you are not being honest with yourself or with the world around you. Simply stated, Mormons do NOT believe in the essentials of the Christian faith.

 
'So what is it that you think defines being a Christian?'

 
Well, it’s not actually what I think defines Christianity, it’s what the Bible says defines Christianity. The scriptures tell us that we have to be careful not to find ourselves believing in “a Jesus other than the Jesus” that the original apostles described in the scriptures (2 Corinthians 11:4), and more importantly, not to believe a “different Gospel – which is really no Gospel at all” (Galatians 1:6-7). The problem is that Mormons have done both of these things. They believe in a Jesus that is extremely different by his very nature, and they also have completely abandoned the Gospel of Grace for a system of good works. The scriptures warn us that when we do this, we are “eternally condemned” (Galatians 1:8)! Mormons have abandoned the historic perspective of Christianity on all of these foundational beliefs, and for that reason, they simply can't be defined or categorized as Christian's.

 
'But what makes you think that you’re right and they are wrong? I know a ton of Mormons who seem to have at least as much faith as you do. What makes you think that your faith is better than theirs?'

 
The ‘degree’ or ‘intensity’ of our faith is not what is in question here, as this is not what saves us. You can be sincere, yet sincerely wrong. God cares far more about the ‘object’ of your faith. Having great faith in Wicca, for example, will not delight the creator of the universe. And having great faith in a man-made distortion of God will not please Him either. Look, if I happen to have the cure for Cancer, and I can see that others are taking morphine to treat their disease, what is the most loving thing I can do? They may feel just fine. In fact, on a day to day basis, they may feel better than I do! But if I have the cure, then love has got to motivate me to try my best to talk them out of taking the morphine. The first thing I’m going to have to do is to convince them that the morphine will not cure them. This love for Mormons is what drives this part of our website. It's not a desire to harm them, but to show them that they don't have the cure for what ails them. So while it may at first seem like an attack, it is not that at all. It is simply an effort to return Mormons to the Grace and Truth of the Christian faith…
