Revisiting the Mormon Issue ('It's great to vote for Jesus Christ, but He's not on the ballot')

what counts is this: Which of the two candidates stands overall for biblical positions? Where do they stand on issues of critical importance to us as Christians, like abortion, traditional marriage, religious freedom, and the threat of radical Islam? Thus, the question gets back to this: Regardless of church affiliation, which candidate is most likely to govern according to biblical standards? That's the question to be decided by the conscientious Christian and by all people of good will in this election.

Note to the anti-Mormon crowd. The author points out above how a Christian should vote.

Some have even said they will sit out this election, rather than vote for a Mormon.

So by default, they'd rather have someone who believes a child who survives an abortion should be left to die? They'd rather have someone who is vocally supportive of homosexual marriage.

What a bunch of dunces.

Try as they may, that dog won’t hunt.

Mormonism is not the issue.

The economy is the issue.

[Slyfox]

The lamestreamers already played the Mormon card just before the conventions, even interviewing Mitt and Ann and asking them about their Mormonism.

In poker you only get to play the card once.

Note to the anti-Word crowd: God speaks to His Own through His Word.

Catholics for Obama?

How about Catholics for Abortion?

Or Catholics for Partial Birth Abortion?

Or Catholics for Killing The Newborn Who Survive Abortion?

Or simply Atheists Calling Themselves Catholics?

Do you mean anti-Mormon, or anti-Mormanism?

There is a difference.

The media can try but not successfully because then obama’s ‘beliefs’ come into question and that is what the video was about - him praising Wright when he previously denounced Wright’s black theology, hate whitey and his G*d damn America church.

[ansel12]

Without a doubt, there are real and substantial differences between historic Christianity and Mormonism.

Now Christianity is no longer just Christianity, recently, more and more it is becoming a 'type' of Christianity, "traditional" Christianity, like "traditional" Marriage.

[a fool in paradise]

Catholics concerned about Mitt’s mormonism yet support Barack’s pro-Islamist, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual secular humanist worldview where Jesus is merely a historic figure.

does not pass the smell test.

I have to disagree with you, the author points out above how he thinks a Christian should vote, or perhaps how he wants a Christian to vote. Christians tend to not do so well when they allow one man to think for them.

Neither man has a history of supporting Biblical standards; both have worked to ease the destruction of innocent life and the family. One is now actively pushing these things and the other says he has changed (most of the time) on them. Whether a Christian believes Romney means what he says seems to be the only way to discern what to do in this election. Romney did come across as earnest last night. It is too bad that the so called social issues that most Christians will use to decide were off the table.

Good point.

True but when one examines legislation Reagan signed into law, he too could be lumped into the same category you place Obama and Romney.

How so? Reagan was fooled once on abortion by an exclusion on the health of the mother. He even commented later that he never expected them to use that as an excuse for wholesale slaughter. In both private writings and public speech, he honored God and Country. If you have other examples, as someone who lived in that time and worked for him in the primaries, I would love to hear them. Feel free to use private reply if you wish.

A politician can say anything, what's arguably more instructive is what the politician signs into law.

Perhaps Reagan was tricked on abortion, perhaps not. Whatever it was, he signed it into law.

Reagan said he was a staunch supporter of the 2nd Amendment, until he signed additional gun control legislation into law in 1986.

Last night’s Presidential debate should settle the issue once and for all.

[Biggirl]

Not surprised that the social issues were not on the table. The only real social issue there was on the table was the issue of Obamacare or healthcare. The rest was on the economy.

[Biggirl]

They are not real Catholics to begin with if at all.

While I do not agree on a number of doctrine issues with Mitt in regards to his Mormon faith, this upcoming election is going to be very important because the life of this nation is at stake.

Unfortunately there appear to be about 20 freepers that don’t seem to understand that.
