How can you be a christian 1000 years before Christ was born? Such as we are told in the Book of Mormon.
By the way where exactly is the hill Rameumpton?
Why did the BoM "prophets preach repentance and they are OK but SP's do the same and they are wicked?
Could it be that present day Mormons are as hard hearted as the lamanites.
Could explain why LDS try to "drive us out"

BLAINE: Pardon me for intervening--I have to say, Kevin's characterization of John the Baptist as not being Christian sounds typically Kevin Deegan, for sure--similar to his stance that Mormons are not Christians. I am strongly reminded of a passage in the Book of Mormon where Alma, the great High Priest goes among the Zoramites and finds them all meeting at the hill Rameumpton on a certain day of the week to offer up a prayer, which (condensed) goes,"Holy God, we believe that thou hast separated us from our brethren, . . . We believe that thou hast elected us to be thy holy children . . . and thou hast elected us that we shall be saved, whilst all around us are elected to be cast by thy wrath down to hell, for the which holiness, oh God, we thank thee, . . . etc" (Alma 31:13-21 Alma calls them to repentance for such arrogance, but they reject him, drive him out among the poor, whom they have also rejected. Alma then preaches to the poor, many of whom receive his message.In a message dated 5/17/2005 12:27:24 AM Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:DAVEH: I'm not sure I am understanding your position on this, Kevin.

He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
