[http://www.timesandseasons.org/?p=4490 Why it’s unchristian to call Mormons “not Christian” ]
  −
 
  −
<blockquote> "I don’t begrudge people who feel the need to find some terminology to
  −
demarcate themselves from Mormons. How about calling themselves “non-
  −
Mormons”, rather than making up a name for Mormons—“non-Christian”–
  −
which Mormons don’t agree with and don’t want to wear?
  −
 
  −
Insisting on applying that term to Mormons is like someone coming up
  −
and slapping a sticker on my back that says “Stupid”. They are well
  −
aware that, without specific explanation, it is understood by many
  −
people to mean that Mormons do not believe that Jesus of Nazareth is
  −
the Son of God, the resurrected Savior of the world. Knowing this,
  −
people who use the term, without caveats to specify that it does not
  −
mean what it sounds like, are creating a false understanding about
  −
Mormons, and are therefore bearing false witness against their LDS
  −
neighbors.
  −
 
  −
Since they know that Mormons don’t like the label, people who use it
  −
are intentionally giving offense. How Christian is it to do that?
  −
Didn’t Jesus say something about people who call their brother “a
  −
fool” being in danger of hell fire? " </blockquote>
  −
 
  −
I will now come out and say that any of you posting on Conservapedia
  −
that Mormons or Catholics are not Christians are being unchristian
  −
yourself and are denigrating me and my faith.
