I am mystified that so many who deign to call themselves Christian would violate one of the 10 commandments, and "bear false witness against <their> neighbor." I have no problem with those who choose to disagree on points of doctrine, otherwise we'd all be either Catholic, Southern Baptist, Methodist, Pentacostal or whatever. I was raised a Southern Baptist, and I don't remember being taught about the "Trinity" like perhaps an Anglican or Catholic, but about "The Father, The Son, and the Holy Ghost." Neither could I understand other denominations who said that they were all the same when Christ prayed to the Father that we might be ONE with them as he was with the Father. Christ's baptism shows three separate and distinct parts of the Godhead: Christ being baptised, Father speaking from heaven, and the Holy Ghost descending in the form of a dove. ONE God is obviously ONE IN PURPOSE, but not necessarily in ONE BODY.

It is offensive to call 14 million Mormons a "Cult" simply due to a disagreement over biblical doctrine, when protestants and Catholics can not agree on doctrine either. It is offensive to say Mormons don't worship the same God, nor the same Jesus Christ because one disagrees with their doctrine, or because one interprets the same biblical passage differently. However, to distort what Mormons claim as their doctrine, faith and belief in order to further one's own argument, places a person in league with the father of all lies, Lucifer!
