These articles intend to answer the question, "Are Mormons Christians?" They basically assert that most Mormons feel that they belong to the Christian sect of religions, even though they think that Christianity is off in its doctrines surrounding the trinity and the biblical canon. However, some people (mainly Christians) believe that the Mormon doctrines and practices founded on such doctrines are so different that they can not be labelled a "Christian" religion. They have a different view on Jesus and God. For example, according to these articles, they believe in Jesus as a son of God and as someone who existed, who was a divine human and who atoned for all sins. But their view of Jesus is that he was simply a son of God, not part of God (like the trinity says). They feel they should be called Christian because they believe in Jesus as a martyr and (the only) redeemer, while Christians feel otherwise because their view on Jesus (and many other aspects of religion) are greatly different views from their own.
