Although, I have seen the argument made by the same person who says, "Mormons are not real Christians," that they believe some Mormons are saved or will go to heaven. I believe Dr. Jeffress said as much after his comments about his introduction of Rick Perry, I think while on Real Time with Bill Maher last week (but I may be wrong on this specific instance, I'll have to check).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504734487692109101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-3139764185374095422011-10-21T06:10:22.549-04:002011-10-21T06:10:22.549-04:00Perhaps the anthropological definition of "C...Perhaps the anthropological definition of "Christian" is "anyone who calls themselves a Christian". It seems both you and I hold that view -- especially since neither of us have a dog in the race.<br /><br />But it is the "Soteriological" definition that is being debated. In other words, when someone says "Mormons aren't Christian", that is simply code for "Mormons are going to hell".<br /><br />Which is further code for, "I don't want the damned ruling my country."<br /><br />I think that bringing the conversation there would be most fruitful.<br /><br />BTW, I made my kids sit through at least 10 shows of the real Star Trek before I allowed them to watch The Next Generation. I wanted them to understand corruptions when they see it.Sabio Lantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963476276106907984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-39182704787657358032011-10-21T01:57:06.665-04:002011-10-21T01:57:06.665-04:00I think it's the whole becoming the god of you...I think it's the whole becoming the god of your own planet thing some Christians object to.
