Well Mormon's are Christians? Right? Wrong. Their belief structure is fundamentally different than any mainstream version of Christianity. Mormonism starts with the belief that Joseph Smith was a divine Prophet of God who walked the earth over 1800 years after Christ. He wrote the Book of Mormon, which is considered divine. The Bible specifically speaks against this:
"Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar. Proverbs 30: 5-6 (NIV)
There are several other verses as well, including one that is far more direct and to the point:
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel-- which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned! Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ. I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man made up. I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ. Galatians 1: 6-12 (NIV)
