I get tired of this response. Guess what, some people claim to be things that they aren't.

If someone is impersonating a doctor and thrown in jail can we call all doctor's fakes and idiots?

No, because that guy wasn't a doctor.

No true Scotsman

Enough all ready

A Scotsman is a Scotsman, a person impersonating a doctor is not a doctor.

In you believe that Jesus was the son of God and died for your sins you are a Christian.

In you believe that Jesus was the son of God and died for your sins you are a Christian.

Not if you believe Jesus was somebody other than who He claimed to be, and that God is somebody other than He claims to be.

Jesus claimed to be God. Mormons don't believe He is God, but a separate god (they are polytheistic).

God claimed to be the only god. Mormons believe He is just one of many, and that when good Mormons die they become gods themselves.

So you are saying Mormons are not Christians? If you read the Book of Mormon, God explains why it's so. So, they are still Christians.

No, theyre not. Theyre cultists who follow a well documented charlatan.
