I agree with this statement, and am grateful to @SecWar Hegseth for correcting the error:
“The Pentagon’s job is not to adjudicate theological debates, but instead to ensure sincerely-held faith is respected and encouraged in our ranks.”

Last week, a proposed list of simplified faith codes was released to the media. The Pentagon list included redundant and unnecessary labeling, and the mistake has been fixed. The goal of this effort is to simplify a previously out-of-control “belief” coding system that had ballooned to over 200 codes. In order to clarify the work of chaplains, and simplify the work of commanders, the Pentagon has consolidated and simplified the list to roughly thirty codes — using the previously used labels for faiths. The Pentagon’s job is not to adjudicate theological debates, but instead to ensure sincerely-held faith is respected and encouraged in our ranks. Below is the updated Religious Affiliation Codes (RAC) list:

@aprilajoyr The government doesn’t need to call a cult that wanted nothing to do with Christianity, Christian. Then Hindus can be categorised as Christian because y’all just made up a different God and Jesus and every new baby born can technically be a God…..right?
English
Listen, it's fine if you, as an individual, don't think Mormons are Christian. Or if you don't think Catholics are Christians. Or Protestants. But the GOVERNMENT should not be deciding who is and isn't Christian and THAT is the problem with what the Pentagon did.

@BenZeisloft Was Joseph Smith a false prophet?
Do you accept the Book of Mormon?
Do you accept Pearl of Great Price?
Do you believe God was once a man?
Do you believe exalted men become gods?
Do you accept eternal progression?
Who has priesthood authority today?

I am a member of the Church of Mormon. I believe in the Trinity, reject Joseph Smith as a prophet, and oppose the notion that Jesus and Satan are brothers. But since my church has Mormon in the name, I am a Mormon, and I demand that the world recognize me as such.

@jasoninthehouse You believe in a false made up version of Jesus, not the same thing Jason.

DOW needs to correct the record. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints truly are Christians. I happen to be a member, and first and foremost I believe in Jesus Christ. We are Christians. 🇺🇸✝️❤️

@Pro__Trading Mormons are still heretics. Your Christ is a false made up God. It’s a conservative cult but a cult regardless

🚨🚨JUST IN: Mike Lee has talked with President Trump and Mormons are likely going to be added to the Pentagon list as a Christian denomination.
President Trump loves Mormons because Mormons love President Trump.
Credal Catholics, who think they are the gatekeepers on who can be called Christian based on a political document that was written 400 years after Christ died are in shambles.
Pray for them! 🙏🙏🙏

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and I am a Christian.

Latter-day Saints believe Jesus Christ is the literal Son of God the Father and the Savior and Redeemer of the world. He atoned for humanity’s sins through His suffering, death, and resurrection. He is a distinct member of the Godhead (separate from the Father and Holy Ghost, united in purpose), the Jehovah of the Old Testament, and the central figure of their faith.
The Book of Mormon is subtitled “Another Testament of Jesus Christ” and testifies of Him on nearly every page. The full name of the church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
English
Read the Book of Mormon.
Cover to cover.
Pray about it, asking sincerely to know whether it’s true (the final chapter provides specific guidance on this point).
Then tell me whether Latter-day Saints believe in Jesus Christ.
Will you accept that challenge?

@jonathanplumb Just because you use similar words that have completely different meanings doesn’t make it the same. It’s a cult. Conservative cult but a cult regardless

Mormons aren’t Christians.
It’s so clear by their music.
Read the offensive words of this children’s hymn:
I’m trying to be like Jesus;
I’m following in his ways.
I’m trying to love as he did, in all that I do and say.
At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,
But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers,
“Love one another as Jesus loves you.
Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught.”
I’m trying to love my neighbor;
I’m learning to serve my friends.
I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come again.
I try to remember the lessons he taught.
Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying:
“Love one another as Jesus loves you.
Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught.”

ezzyband Fair and factual take:
LDS (Mormons) worship Jesus as divine Savior and affirm His atonement/resurrection. Core differences from historic Nicene Christianity:
• God: Exalted man who progressed; has physical body + Heavenly Mother. Historic: Eternal, uncreated, immaterial Trinity.
• Godhead: Three separate beings united in purpose. Historic: One God in three co-equal persons.
• Jesus & Satan: Literal spirit brothers as premortal children of Heavenly Parents. Historic: Jesus eternal/uncreated Son; Satan fallen created angel.
• Scripture: Bible + Book of Mormon, D&C, Pearl of Great Price + living prophets. Historic: Bible sufficient (esp. Protestant view).
• Salvation/Exaltation: Grace + works, temple ordinances; worthy reach godhood/own worlds. Historic: Grace through faith; no created gods.
LDS call it restored true Christianity post-apostasy. Historic Christians see it as a distinct restorationist faith. Theologies differ on God's nature, origins, and human destiny.

Starlink mini installed. Need to figure out cabling but I like the spot.

@fire_starter457 Yes and no, @BasedMikeLee freak out is that the ambiguity going away might cause them votes and good will in the political sphere.

Are Mormons just now figuring out that Evangelicals and Catholics consider them a cult and not Christian? 🤣🤣😂😂

@popaclutch24 @jacelala Christianity completes Judaism. Mormonism rewrites Christianity. Those aren’t the same thing.

@KobeissiLetter Beirut isn’t in Iran
Hormuz is an international waterway
English
BREAKING: Iran’s Speaker of the Parliament Ghalibaf says the US and Israel are “neither committed to a ceasefire nor believe in dialogue” after Israeli strikes on Beirut today.
Ghalibaf says Israeli strikes on Beirut today and the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz “turn American and Israeli bases and assets in the region into legitimate targets.”
