Are Catholics, Jews, Mormons considered Christians?

Please don’t take offense… I’m very ignorant when it comes to religions.

Catholics yes, Jews no, Mormons some consider them Christian and they consider themselves Christian but they have an additional book (The Book of Mormon) that no other Christian sect uses, so it's debateable.

@Alyosha The full title of the book is "The Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ ". Yes, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is most certainly Christian, for it bears His name. The book tells of His dealings with the inhabitants of the American continent.

@Alyosha And many Protestant communities have rejected seven Old Testament books which have been accepted by Catholics, Orthodox, and some other Protestant churches. There may be some Scriptural, organizational and liturgical differences among Christians, but they are all in agreement that Jesus of Nazareth is indeed the Christ, the Promised of God, and Lord of Heaven and Earth.

@StevexStephie Differences in canonical texts of the Bible is a little different from a set of books that no other Christian church would be willing to accept.

@57phoseman The Book of Mormon = pure BS written by a con man in order to get a harem of women to screw.

@Diotrephes Why such disrespect? Judge not, lest ye be judged!

@StevexStephie Have you forgotten that men will judge angels? Have you ever met an angel? So, if I will judge angels I can certainly judge BS con artists who create religions out of thin air.

@Diotrephes Where do you get the idea that men will judge angels?
Diotrephes · 70-79, M
@Alyosha stick around for a while and you will get up to speed on the religious fairytales.

First tidbit =

1 Corinthians 6:3 (NKJV) = "Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?"

@Diotrephes Must be a metaphor. Maybe a warning.

@Alyosha Do you know what the Ten Commandments are? Hint, chances are you believe in the fake ones because you have never read and comprehended any of the fairytale.

@Alyosha Mormons are American Christians. In the US, Christianity is whatever that comes out of the mouth of the preacher who ministers to the crowd (multitude). The preacher is a Jesus impersonator. Like Elvis impersonators, those preachers sing the same songs in their own respective styles.

@sree251 Evangelists sound more like John the Baptist than Jesus.

@caesar7 Mary Baker Eddy started the First Church of Christ, Scientist. Who does she sounds like?

@57phoseman Written by a convicted con artist no less. You'd almost think the people tithing 10 percent of their income would have considered that. Guess not.

"Judge not, lest ye be judged", the most taken out of context line of scripture ever...

"Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment." - John 7:24 KJV

(don't judge by your standards, judge by His standards)

as for all these watered down, modern versions of the Bible that use every opportunity to remove Jesus's name or words like "grace", or momons that add their fiction to the Bible...

"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." - Revelations 22:18-19 KJV
