Mormons
Do Not Believe That Christ Jesus Is God
The
first and foremost reason that Mormons are not Christians
Is
that they do not believe that Christ Jesus is God.
This
belief defies Scripture:
For
to us a child is born, to us a Son is given
And
the government shall be upon His shoulders.
And
He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace.
Of
the increase of His government and peace there will be no end.
(Isaiah 9:6 NIV)
Christ Jesus speaking
to the apostle John said of Himself:
'I
am the Alpha and the Omega,' says the Lord God,
'Who
is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.'
(Revelation 1:8
NIV)
Every Christian must
believe that Christ Jesus is God.
Mormons
Do Not Believe
That
Jesus Died On The Cross For Our Sins
Today, Mormons do not
display the cross of Christ in or on their buildings
Because they do not
believe the cross has relevance to their faith.
The Scripture says that
the message of the cross
Is foolishness to those
who are perishing
But the power of God to
those who are being saved (1 Corinthians 1:18)
Mormonism denies the
blood of Jesus shed on the cross for our sins,
When in fact, we are
saved by the blood of Christ Jesus alone.
Without the shedding
of blood there is no forgiveness. (Hebrews 9:22)
It took the sinless
blood of God in flesh, Christ Jesus, to atone for our sin.
Without faith in
this reality there are no Christians.
Mormons
Deny Salvation By Grace Alone
They believe in a
salvation of works.
Yet the apostle Paul
said:
For
it is by grace you have been saved, thorough faith—
And
this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works,
So
that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV)
The Reformation was
fought over this principle and reality.
Christians are to do
good works but are not saved by those good works.
Mormons
Do Not Believe In Hell
Mormons do not believe
in hell, yet Christ Jesus said:
Do
not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.
Rather,
be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
(Matthew
10:28 NIV)
Every Christian must
believe that Heaven or hell
Awaits every living person.
Mormons
Deny The Virgin Birth Of Christ Jesus
Mormons believe that
God in His physical body came down to earth
And physically
impregnated Mary.
This defies Scripture
that says:
Joseph
son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife,
Because
what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
She
will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,
Because He will save
His people from their sins. (Matthew 1:20-21 NIV)
The virgin Mary
questioned the the angel Gabriel as to how she could give birth:
'How
will this be,' Mary asked the angel, 'since I am a virgin?'
The
angel answered, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
And
the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
So
the holy One to be born will be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:34-36
NIV)
Every
Christian must believe in the virgin birth of Christ Jesus.
There is much more to
say that Mormonism is not Christian.
