Romney Can't Ignore Questions About Mormonism

I side with Paul: "No one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit" (1 Cor. 12:3)

I know what you mean here, but I tend to think of it this way:

It's the Holy Spirit that finally teaches us the Truth, so that we CAN say "Jesus is Lord!" from a thankful heart*; rather that how many will say in those last days "Jesus is lord.", from a realization that they HAD a chance to accept, and they blew it.

John 6:44-45
44. "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
45. It is written in the Prophets: `They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.

Well, that is encouraging.

Ah... you must remember Ross Perot!

"Scripture," ya know...for this verse comes from the very foundation of the church basis--the First Vision of Joseph Smith).

I post it a LOT, and no LDS organization member seems to say that it's NOT still valid in their thinking.

I guess the question MIGHT be:

“If Romney IS elected to the Presidency of the United States; will he have any PRESBYTERIANS in his administration?”

Here’s an interesting quote I came across, it reminds me of some of the statements I’ve seen in defense of Romney....

Statement of Joseph Smith:

“I see no faults in the Church, and therefore let me be resurrected with the Saints, whether I ascend to heaven or descend to hell, or go to any other place. And if we go to hell, we’ll turn the devils out of doors and make a heaven of it. Where this people are, there is good society. What do we care where we’re, if the society be good?”
