PleaseConvinceMe Podcast 225In this episode, Jim examines the recent comments of Pastor Robert Jeffress who recently described Mormonism as a “cult”. Has this word lost its meaning in our culture? Is there some other way to effectively share our concerns about the distinctions between Christianity and Mormonism? Also, Jim looks at the claim that Hitler was a Christian. Can this be supported by history? What implications does Hitler’s view of Jesus have on our examination of those who claim to be Christians?

Romney, and any Mormon offended by being referred to as cultists, need to be asked why they adhere to a religion whose prophet, Joseph Smith, referred to Christianity, in general, as being cultic.
He actually, claimed that God Himself referred to Christianity as “all wrong,” an “abomination,” “all corrupt” and “far from me”—this is the very foundation of the Mormon religion.

I would agree with Jim that referring to Mormons at "cultists" while not inaccurate, is not helpful. Using terms that can be so easily seen as derogatory will only confuse the issue. Stick to the basics: God, Jesus, Salvation and the Bible.
