Are Mormons Christian? Elder Jeffery R. Holland, member of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles gives an excellent response to this question and in doing so provides a powerful description of the true nature of the Godhead.

Polaris, you put this in a debate thread but didn't say what you wanted to debate. Did you mean to put this in the LDS section?

No I meant to put it here. The discourse refutes the claims that LDS aren't Christians due to our rejection of the Trinitarian doctrine. This topic is a highly debated one.

I've never understood this debate.

Christian = One who believes is the divinity of Christ

Mormons believe this

Mormons are Christians

I don't believe that every Christian "believes in the divinity of Christ."
I don't thind that's the correct definition. A Christian is one who follows Christ.

We fit that definition too

I'll post my personal definition of the word - I've posted it elsewhere, but...

A Christian is someone who holds Jesus Christ as the highest authority in their religious life.

I'm still not sure about the "in their religious life" part (I'm not sure how best to word it) - but the point is that nobody else supercedes Christ to them.

I quite like this quote too:

Quote:
Every faithful follower of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints tries to emulate Christ's example in his or her own life. If that isn't enough to satisfy people that need a particularly narrow definition of Christianity, then maybe there's nothing we can do about that. - Michael Otterson, director of media relations for the LDS church

I wonder what the other living apostles: The Patriarch of Constantinope, The Bishop of Rome, TheArchbishop of Canterbury, et. al. would have for us as an answer?

I'm not sure that they would consider themselves to be living apostles, but I too would be interested to hear their response.
