We’ve reviewed several things over the past several posts. With everything, I never set out to totally disprove Mormonism. That would take much more time, and an extensive amount of research. I do not have time or will to devote my studies to this topic. This is a post with some closing thoughts about the Latter Day Saints.
Christianity is monotheistic. This means that there is a belief that only one god has ever existed. Christianity also believes that God has no beginning and created all things. Mormonism, on the other hand, is polytheistic (sources). They believe that God was not always God (great article concerning this matter), and that God was not created any differently than any of us (Doctrines and Covenants 93:29).
Mormons also consider the Book of Mormon to be just as authoritative (if not more) than the Bible.
Mormons believe we can become gods. Here is a great article concerning that: As God Is, Man May Become?
For these reasons, the Mormons are a cult. Thank you for the time you have spent in discussing this issue with me.

No, that does not define what the word “cult” means.
Say the word cult just about anywhere in the English speaking world and the images that come to mind are NOT unorthodox people who don’t believe in monotheism.
The images that come to mind are mass suicides, brainwashings, kidnappings, and scary ritualistic chanting.
That’s what normal people think of when you say cult. It’s just a very, very, veeery teeny-tiny minority of the Christian world that comprises the “counter-cult ministry” that defines the word the way you just did.
