How are Mormons different from Christians?

Answer:
Mormons say that they too are Christians. Their faith differs in some aspects from other Christian sects. They consult a book of an American prophet in addition to the Bible. They typically avoid coffee and tea and alcohol. They formerly permitted marriages with more than one wife, but this has been disallowed for over one hundred years. They take special pride in educational values and family life, and they tend to stay married longer than people of other religious persuasions. Here is another Christian view. A Christian is a person who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ. A Christian believes that God loved us so much, that He sent His one and only son to earth, born to a virgin, to live here among us. Jesus is the son of God yet Jesus is God. Some Christians believe in the Holy Trinity, that is God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all one [but not ALL Christians believe this]. Jesus was whipped, tortured, and hung to die on a cross. He took the punishment for our sins upon himself. Three days later he rose from the dead. He has gone on to heaven to live with God the father. We believe that Jesus died for our sins and if we confess that we are sinners and believe in him we will have eternal life in heaven with him when our earthly body dies. ...I can tell you what Jesus has done in my life. Christians do not have to perform any rituals or meet any quotas or follow any person here on earth to get to heaven. ...If I am wrong then I have lost nothing. If you are wrong then you have lost everything.
