"Is Mormonism Christian?" The answer is simple. No. Mormonism is not Christian because it denies the basic and essential doctrines of the Christian faith such as the teaching that there is only one God, that God has always been God, and that forgiveness of sins is by faith alone. Instead, Mormonism teaches that god is an exalted man from another world who has a goddess wife and that people have the potential of becoming gods. That is most assuradely not Christian according to the Bible.
If you are a Mormon, please realize that CARM is not trying to attack you, your character, or the sincerity of your belief. If you are a non-Mormon looking into Mormonism or if you are a Christian who is simply researching Mormonism, then this article should be of help.
The reason Mormonism is not Christian is that it denies one or more of the essential doctrines of Christianity. Here is a basic list of what true Christianity teaches as essential doctrine according to the Bible.
There is only one God in all existence (Exodus 20:1-4; Isaiah 43:10; 44:6, 8; 45:5). Jesus is divine (John 1:1, 14; 8:24; Col. 2:9) Forgiveness of sins is by grace alone without works (Eph. 2:8-9; Rom. 3:28; 4:1-5) Jesus rose from the dead physically (John 2:19-21; Luke 24:39) The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus (1 Cor. 15:1-4)
Mormonism denies that there is only one God in all existence and also denies the forgiveness of sins alone in Christ alone. Therefore, it is outside Christianity. It is not a Christian religion. Mormonism teaches . . .
Mormonism teaches that God the Father has a body of flesh and bones (D. & C. 130:22)
