Baptist Richard Land called the Mormon faith as a fourth Abrahamic faith
For some time it comes into the United States to a rapprochement between Mormons (Church of the Latter-day Saints) and evangelicals. Recently, the Book of Mormon Robert Millet A Different Jesus? (? Another Jesus the Christ of Latter-day Saints) The Christ of the Latter Day Saints published - an apology (defense) of the theology of the Mormons. The Richard Mouw of Fuller seminary Neoevangelikale wrote the preface and afterword to this book. Among other things, Mouw writes:
"I predict read that some evangelicals it and come to believe to be the Mormons are not as heretical as anticipated ... I believe that an open-minded Christian reader of this book will feel that Bob Millet is actually the Jesus of the Bible familiar to what his As for healing. At least that is my sentiment
The evangelicals Dr. James White commented on the statements Mouws rightly very critical:
. "Added Richard Mouw apologized not only for us narrow-minded people as witnesses to the true God, the true Christ and true Gospel evangelism for decades among the Mormons, but he has also managed to put a, a Trojan horse of the [Mormon] apologetics ", which the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, the principle alone Scripture (sola Scriptura), justification by grace through faith alone ... the finished redemptive work of Christ denies the Cross - and he has made it that this book is now available at your Christian bookstore "
But not only the Neoevangelikale Richard Mouw, but also of the Baptist Dr. Richard Land (Southern Baptist Convention ) said in an interview.: "I think that's the kindest verdict of a evangelical Christians about the Mormons that they have faith consider the Mormons a fourth Abrahamic faith can "( here ). This follows Dr. Richard Land of the known representatives of the Emerging Church, Brian McLaren, who classifies the Mormons in addition to Judaism, Islam and Christianity as well as a fourth Abrahamic faith.
Now also met Billy Graham with the famous Mormon Glenn Beck. The meeting was a private meeting between Graham and Beck and lasted three hours. Also, Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham, was present at the meeting, which ended with a prayer.
Glenn Beck said after his meeting with Billy Graham: "While no one of us the sacrifice can do what we believe personally, we must stand together with all who believe in God and are convinced that God every individual the right to life, liberty and the pursuit has been to be happy. "
Leith Anderson, president of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), announced that he hoped the dialogue with the Mormons next March will lead to a deeper understanding of the Mormon faith . Anderson also wants to explore common ground for cooperation between evangelicals and Mormons.
The official Mormon doctrine is incompatible with the biblical Christology. The following statement is from a website of the Mormons:
"Play for the first time that Lucifer and our Lord [Jesus Christ] are brothers may be surprised - especially all the people, the revelations of the Church of the Latter-day not know. But both acknowledge the scriptures and the prophets, Jesus Christ and Lucifer are actually from the family of our Heavenly Father, and therefore brothers in spirit. "( here )
One must ask the question whether in future now among evangelicals, the divinity of the person of Jesus Christ be submitted for discussion is.
