First, when Christians, particularly evangelicals as myself, refer to a sect as a cult, they do not mean a cult in the way David Koresh or Jim Jones' groups were cults. In the evangelical lexicon, a "cult" is a religion that have the trappings of Christianity, but differ greatly in essential doctrine from traditional Christian beliefs (Divinity of Jesus, Trinity, nature of God,.etc.) One example of a cult would be JW's, who deny that Jesus was God but Michael, etc.
Mormons embrace many beliefs that run contradictory to the Bible as well as traditional Christianity.
- That God is not Three-in-One but three seperate gods
- That men can become gods, and enjoy physical pleasure with their spouses in the afterlife
- That the Canon (I.e., Holy Scriptures) is not closed as is stated in the last chapter of Revelation
- That Christ came to North America after being in Israel, when the Bible States.Christ has yet to return
