I re-read my post to Ray, and I'm worried there could be potential for misunderstanding:
> I think that on the basis of what you said in your post about your beliefs, many people I know would say that Mormons aren't Christians because there is too much divergence from orthodoxy.
I just wanted to clarify that I'm NOT saying that Mormons aren't Christians. I'm also NOT saying I think Mormons diverge too much from orthodoxy.
I was really just trying to initiate a theoretical discussion about the theological and political means by which some groups or individuals include or exclude other groups or individuals. It's interesting to me because people have sometimes told me I'm not a Christian.
But, since I'm new to this Board, I'm now unsure whether that's an appropriate topic for discussion.
If it's not, please would someone tell me so I don't do it again!
And of course, if I've annoyed or offended anyone, I apologise.
