But he can still do some good in the civil realm. There are lots of non-Christians who have been good citizens and public servants. And I think he'll be a heckuva lot better at president than Obama.
Well, the opportunity for "condemnation" is during this "Mormon moment."
Time for you & other shepherds to "step up to the mike," so to speak -- and lose the soft-spoken two-step.
Time to be a Titus-like pastor: He [context is an "elder" in v. 6; an "overseer" in v. 7] must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. (Titus 1:9)
An opportune time, Charles, to engage in the dual ministry of encouraging others via sound doctrine -- and refuting those who oppose it...(such as Bishop Romney and his fellow Lds leaders).
But he can still do some good in the civil realm. There are lots of non-Christians who have been good citizens and public servants.
Charles, we both know God can choose who He wants to do accomplish His purpose in any realm. The issue is, "Does God want His Church closely linked with people who portend to be rival gods and who openly pay for a false gospel?"
We can't hide ourselves from recognizing how Romney has spent his $millions.
And I think he'll be a heckuva lot better at president than Obama.
And a reincarnated Hitler might make a helluva lot "better" president than THE anti-Christ. (Are you into political relativism now? Political pragmatic utilitarianism? Is this what you want to pass onto your children, grandchildren, and flock? Are you telling us all now that in 2024 if the GOP runs somebody well to the socialist-left of Obama we should vote for that person because they'd make "a heckuva lot better president" than whoever the (D) put up?)
Wow! Just Wow!
