I have a question and hope it is okay to ask it here. My family, they always tell me that Mormons are not Christians. They say this very strongly, ike it is not a discussion subject. Because of this I started to research why Mormons say they are Christians and now I am confused more than before. I see Jesus Christ everywhere in the Mormon language, then I see people saying no that does not count, so I am trying to understand who is deciding this and based on the rules, there a checklist? I am not asking this to attack anyone I am honestly trying to learn and also to survive family dinners.
So, why do Mormons consider themselves Christian? Thank you for your patience with a learner.
