I am not out to slander Mormons, I have friends that are of this religion. Having said this, Christians believe that because Jesus Christ died for our sins, we shall receive the gift of eternal life in heaven if we accept him.

Mormons do not believe this. Therefore, how do they call themselves Christians? You will find no crosses in Mormon temples, or churches. They do not believe the blood Jesus shed for all mankind is good enough for the redemption of man's sins.

Mormon's believe that God was once a man, as we are right now. They also believe that we can be equal to God. In they're eyes; Mormonism is the ONLY way to heaven. No other sect will be going to heaven. Joseph Smith (Mormonism's founder) will come at the end of days at the right hand of Jesus and rule the earth. Without his good recommendation no one shall pass into heaven. This is heresy.

They're ultimate goal is Godhood. To become a God or Goddess, and rule they're own planet. Does it not occur to any Mormon's that this was the EXACT reason the Devil was cast down? No one can be great as our God.

Hopefully if my opponent doesn't want to debate, I can start this one again. This has the potential to be a very good debate!

That doesn't make it non-Christian.

In fact, it makes it MORE Christian.

You know absolutely nothing about Mormonism. There are crosses in mormon churches. They have baptisms and confirmations and services like any other christian church. They follow the word of the old and new testament, with the addition of the book of Mormon. If anything, the Mormon faith is an addition to Christianity, with new Prophets like Joseph Smith who make the same claims to divine inspiration as any christian prophet, with the added validity of signed legal statements by witnesses.

I wonder...What happens when we see planets get destroyed? Stars supernova obliterating everything in their wake. Does this mean that when one becomes a God he can lose his planet? Does he die along with his planet?
