Evangelical Theologian: Bottom Line is Mormons are not Christians

Mormons believe in a false gospel and are not Christians, concluded one of the nation’s preeminent evangelicals in what appeared to be the close of an online debate over Mormonism.“Here is the bottom line.As an Evangelical Christian-a Christian who holds to the ‘traditional Christian orthodoxy’ of the Church-I do not believe that Mormonism leads to salvation,”wrote Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr.,
president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary,on Wednesday evening.“To the contrary,I believe that it is a false gospel that,however sincere and kind its adherents may be,leads to eternal death rather than to eternal life,” he stated.Mohler’s response is part of an ongoing“blog dialogue”sponsored by the Web site Beliefnet.com.Since June 28,the evangelical scholar and prominent Mormon science-fiction writer Orson Scott Card have been debating whether Mormons can be considered Christians.
He emphasized that Mormons share many of the same values as evangelicalChristians and believe Jesus Christ is the only path to salvation.However,Mohler noted that whether a Mormon has similar moral values to evangelical Christians is beside the point because Beliefnet.com had asked whether Mormons can be considered Christians based on traditional Christian orthodoxy.“It appears that we are not really discussing the same question,”noted Mohler in his latest blog response.“The debate has never been about whether Mormons are good Americans or would make good neighbors,”he wrote.“I dare say that most American Evangelicals and traditional Roman Catholics would find more in common with Mormons in terms of child-rearing,sexual morality,the protection of marriage and family,and a host of other issues,than they would with liberal Catholics or liberal Protestants,”acknowledged Mohler.But Mormonism from its beginning has rejected traditional Christian orthodoxy,which is part of the core Mormon identity,pointed out the highly-respected theologian.The subtitle of The Book of Mormon is “Another Testament of Jesus Christ.”“A ‘testament,’that is,other than that accepted by the historic Christian churches,”Mohler highlighted.Mohler,concluded that Mormonism is not just another form of Christianity and is incompatible with “traditional Christian orthodoxy.”

PS:Mormons are not christians.That's why they are mormons....Hello???There is only One Way a person becomes a christian.And by the way christians don't have the book of Mormon or any other "book" except the Bible as guide in matters of faith and life.Sometimes we just try to be diplomatic cause we don't wanna hirt people's feelings....but it's better to get people to think about what they really believe now,on this side of heaven,that they'll find that they were wrongs all these years,after they leave this life and find themselves in the torments of hell.
I know may be many of you don't even believe in a literal hell.Well,it's REAL cause the Bible says so.If we would understand the Bible more simply as for what it's saying to us,we would have less trouble with some issues.
Bottomline-cause I don't want to get sidetracked here-is that Mormons are NOT christians.
As in the days of Noah...
