It has been blowing my mind to hear that some other Christian leaders, do not believe our Church is Christian, even to go as far as saying that we are a cult. The very name of the Church is, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, all the lessons taught in Church have a sole purpose to bring us closer to Christ and the messages and testimonies given all testify of Him. Our hymnbooks are full of hymns of praise to the Savior. The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ. The Church has not released a statement specifically about the recent comments made, but has directed people who genuinely want to know what our beliefs are to Mormon.org, spending a couple of minutes doing this should dispel any ignorance on the subject, alternatively there is lds.org or jesuschrist.lds.org, or just attending one of our worship services, should make it very obvious that we are Christian.
Anyway, I saw that Mormon.org had posted a special report that CNN had published by the President of Fuller Theological Seminary saying that Mormonism isn't a cult. If you are interested in reading this article you can find it HERE.
I'm going to go read it now - thanks for posting this.
