If mormonsim isn't accepted as christianity, it is because of the short-sightedness of the people looking at it. They look at it as a cult because they do not see the underlying truths contained in it. If people have trouble defending it, it is because they don't understand it. Not everyone knows the same amount about the church.
Amos 3:7 -- "For surely the Lord God doeth nothing except he reveal his secrets unto his servants the prophets." Take that as you will. I believe that there have been men on earth who have worked to keep the teachings of Christ alive. But that does not mean it was never changed.
There IS only one God. Why do you seem to have trouble with me saying that? There is ONE God. Jesus is his SON.
Change, develop, what's the difference. Point is, it's not the same.
Show me some of the "doctrines" you're talking about that we don't belive in that are biblical.
Yes we do believe in Christ's divinity. He was sent to earth by his father, he was born of the virgin Mary in a stable in Bethlehem, he ministered to the people, worked miracles, raised the dead, was baptized and atoned for the sins of the world, was crucified on the cross, and was resurrected on the third day. Is is the son of the living God. How can you say we don't believe in his divinity? It IS a Christian church, like it or not.
