Bingo.
I've been saying similar stuff now for over 5 years on FR -- although not targeting only Christians.
When I've given various "multi-point" considerations why we shouldn't be supporting Romney...This is what I was saying five years ago:
Point 1: This would open the door wide open for the massive LDS public relations propaganda campaign. (This especially applies to POTUS and may or may not apply to all political races): Bill Clinton was a presidential role-model disaster for our young generation re: the scandal. Any president the voting block elevates to the highest role model position in our land accords the highest vote of respectability to the public aspects of what that person stands for. If that person, for example, is a neatly tucked-away communist who's adopted a mask of "family values," & we elect him president, we are telling our kids that communism is OK to emulate. Furthermore, we are handing proselytizing fuel to communists everywhere. It would fuel their door-to-door boldness and other aggressive campaigns to be able to say, "See. Our respectable Communist leader holds the highest office in the land. Come study what helped make the man he is today!"
Obviously, this article also takes in the necessary polytheism and deception of Mormonism.
I don’t support him but it is almost inevitable that he becomes the nominee. And when he does, who should I support? A third party candidate that will surely get Obama elected?
I’ll be voting for president, NOT my priest...I don’t care what a mans religion is, just that he’ll be a good president.
Thomas Jefferson could be considered slightly heretical, yet I’d love to vote for him for president.
Ed
I don’t care if a candidate worships trees and rocks. If he believes in a free-market economy, low taxes, a strong defense and a smaller, more efficient government, I’ll vote for him.
As Ansel12 has wisely stated several times, this has already -- and will continue to -- go beyond mere "support."
It'll become almost all-out apologetics! IOW...we'll have all kinds of "surprising" conservative sources...including Christian leaders...who will become apologists for the Mormon religion.
Also, any Church that is NOT pro life/pro family is NOT Christian, period!!
Any so called Christian that votes for pro abortion/etc politicians, is also NOT Christian.
Anybody that truly had the Spirit of Christ within them, simply would not/could not vote for pro abortion parties/politicians.
It`s really as simple as that! Regardless if they are Mormon,Catholic whatever
The Senate is already under the control of the Mormons through Hairy Reed.
LET OBAMA and his ilk do the destroying of Romney and watch. They will do it and they will not need our help lest people err.
As Christ said, if they are not against us, they are for us, so I do not think we should be in a position to investigate Mormons, because it will be easier to let the communist do that themselves. Let us not fall in that trap and do the job they want us to do for them, meddling in the secret marriages of others, because their marriages to this web of communist non-marriage hate religion is really the issue.
Now, from a Christian perspective, The “spiritual” type PTSD waged by those who hide behind a physical peace are in general a sort to wonder about. Mormons do not practice such per say, but they open the door to it, and the religion looks like Eve wondering whether to bite the fruit or not, in a sort of poetical manner of it... erring away from Christ on the cross choosing to “die” there rather than to “live” here.
Newt was laughed at for advocating a moon base.
What will they do when they find out the founders of Romney’s religion believe people already live on the moon?
“As incredible as it may seem, LDS publications bear testimony that Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon Church, and Brigham Young, second Prophet of the Church, taught the moon was inhabited.
In an 1892 LDS publication under the heading “THE INHABITANTS OF THE MOON,” this interesting information is given by Oliver B. Huntington:
“Nearly all the great discoveries of men in the last half century have, in one way or another, either directly or indirectly, contributed to prove Joseph Smith to be a Prophet.
“As far back as 1837, I know that he said the moon was inhabited by men and women the same as this earth, and that they lived to a greater age than we do — that they live generally to near the age of 1000 years.
“He described the men as averaging near six feet in height, and dressing quite uniformly in something near the Quaker style.
“In my Patriarchal blessing, given by the father of Joseph the Prophet, in Kirtland, 1837, I was told that I should preach the gospel before I was 21 years of age; that I should preach the gospel to the inhabitants upon the islands of the sea, and to the inhabitants of the moon, even the planet you can now behold with your eyes.” (The Young Woman’s Journal, published by the Young Ladies’ Mutual Improvement Associations of Zion, 1892, vol. 3, pp. 263-64)” http://www.challengemin.org/moon.html
So what do you suggest we do? Vote for Obama? Stay home, not vote, and thus help Obama get reelected? Move to Mars?
The use of the description, polytheism, to describe Mormon thinking about the trinity is not their modern thinking on God. Christians believe in Trinitarianism, which is God existing as three persons in one substance. I believe modern day Mormons believe in Modalism which believes that there is only one God who does not exist as three separate persons but rather manifests himself in three different “modes” (i.e., as Father, Son, or Holy Ghost).
The teachings of Brigham Young were early and feeble attempts at understanding God’s nature. I think believers in God are striving to understand that nature, and we cannot fault men like Smith and Young when they fail; especially when they could barely understand it. Only Christ and the Bible, through the Holy Spirit puts men on the right track.
I think that men like Joseph Smith and Brigham Young should have persevered in their study of the Bible. Both were self-educated and were susceptible to errors of interpretation and judgement. There was many who could helped them through the difficult interpretations. They should not have strayed and would have benefited more in the Christian faith that was experiencing the Second Great Awakening during their lifetimes. There were many in the early years of our nation’s history that did much from just the inspiration of the Bible. It is too bad so many have sold the Bible short through history.
It is interesting that two of the worlds major religions, Mormonism and Muslim-ism both have as their root a belief in polygamy—just a last thought.
Look; I know it! We are faced with a deplorable choice in this election; one which is extremely unappetizing to any of us. We’re left not knowing what to do; and that’s the way Obama and his campaign likes it.
It’s crappy. I don’t know what they’re playing at and have been playing at for a long time apparently.
We need another Mormon in Washington D.C. like we need another Harry Reid that runs the Senate....
Maybe Harry and Willard are “good” Mormons..
That just might be a bit of the problem..
What do Massachusetts voters know that we don’t..
Could be Willard is a cloaked democrat..
You know.. a Borg and a drone in the HIVE..
By the same token, if we step back and let Obama win, are we endorsing black marxist islam?
Romney doesn’t have to win the presidency. He only has to be the Republican candidate.
The Mormons I know are terrific people. Of course they’d be even better if they took a drink now and then. But hell yes I’ll vote for a Mormon candidate. Mormons are awesome Americans. And God loves ‘em too!
