I like the topic. Thanks!

Some of the answers require an S and others don't. Probably should be consistent, or make it so it doesn't matter.

Gotta agree with this one. A black emperor was definitely not Jesus.

Mormons are definitely Christian. The Bible is one of their four scriptures. Did a whole project on denominations in eighth grade, and the Mormons were definitely one of them.

Arians are a little more controversial. Those are technically Christians, but not in a traditional sense. Jesus is not held at as high authority as in most other denominations.
