Hi, DaveH.
I'll bet you are surprised that I responded to this email :-). Kevin is much more qualified than I to answer your question, but I thought that I would just recall some rather detailed posts I made some months, maybe a year, back. Many of our current members have probably joined since those posts. The short answer
DAVEH: How does your answer pertain to my below question, Perry???
It does not matter how Christian is defined at this point in the conversation...what matters is that before one can become a Christian, one must know the Christ and God of the Bible, not the false christ or god of Morminism.
I see in Kay's response the na�vet� of not knowing Mormon beliefs. Kay is basically right in her statement that those who follow Christ are Christians...she just does not realize that the jesus Smithism teaches is not the Jesus described in the Bible, and the god Smithism teaches is not the same God described in the Bible. Once she comes to a knowledge of that, she will certainly see that the LDS worship a false god and false christ, and therefore cannot be Christians.
We all also must come to understand that two dictionaries are needed to interpret between LDS word usage and Christian word usage. LDS have redefined words with traditional Christian denotations to mean something different in the LDS argot. Like Judy points out with understanding of the Godhead and the Trinity. You see, to a Christian, the Trinity IS the Godhead. To a Mormon, the godhead consists of two gods and a spirit; a false jesus, a false god, and the spirit of the false god. Same word, two different meanings. Many words are this way, so all should be wary when a Mormon speaks.
Perry
is that the LDS worship a different jesus and different god than those decribed in the Bible. That excludes them from being Christian.

could not possibly be a CHRISTIAN
However, perhaps you define Christian differently than I do. How do you define it so that it excludes LDS folks, Kevin?
