Mormon Bishop Mitt Romney’s Anti-Christian Religion

Many naive Americans believe that Mormonism is merely another branch of protestant Christianity. Well that’s not what the founders and leaders of Mormonism believed.

According to its founder, Joseph Smith, and Brigham Young, Smith’s successor, Mormons are the only true people of God on the earth. All non-Mormons and their religions are “wrong, an abomination, blind, damned, of the devil, whores, not Christians, groveling in darkness, heathens, ignorant, devoid of fact, pagan and hatched in Hell.”

When Romney made a speech about his religion in 2008 he refused to distance himself from his faith and fully affirmed his Mormonism. Responding to critics, Romney said,

"They would prefer it if I would simply distance myself from my religion, say that it is more a tradition than my personal conviction, or disavow one or another of its precepts. That I will not do. I believe in my Mormon faith and I endeavor to live by it. My faith is the faith of my fathers - I will be true to them and to my beliefs."

Romney, the father of homosexual marriage in America and abortion funding Romney Care in Massachusetts, flip-flops on virtually every issue, but he is adamant about his anti-Christian Mormonism. Romney needs the vote of Christians to win election, but he refuses to “disavow one or another of its precepts.”

Nor can anyone think Romney is merely a casual or cultural Mormon who just happened to be born Mormon. He is an active Bishop in the Mormon church hierarchy. He cannot pretend to be ignorant of the teaching of Joseph Smith and the other “prophets” of Mormonism.

Below is a list of quotes from Mormon leaders and official publications starting with Joseph Smith down to our day. The message is consistent and clear.

Probably, but only if it is ‘translated correctly’ (Mormons do not believe the Bible is trustworthy).

[Colofornian]

In my view, his choice of a running mate will be his FIRST opportunity to evidence his professed conservatism, which of course followed his liberal record as governor.

I think you have summed up better in one sentence the sad situation the GoP is in -- summed up better than almost anyone could possibly do so. [And you not have even realized it!]

How sad is it that the GoP is about to nominate someone who has yet to show a single scintella of evidence (beyond word-games) that he is indeed conservative?

[rmlew]

So the solution is to support the heretics at Trinity UNITARIAN Church of Christ?

[Colofornian]

You probably have a lot more knowledge about how Romney governed than most here unless they too lived through it...perhaps like how he was really INCAPABLE of appointing conservative Judges since the DNC panel there had all the power.

Well, that's rather strange, Jeff...If Romney was totally incapacitated from bringing forth ANY conservative judges in MA, please tell us: How did he get nine Republicans thru, then? Surely at least some of those nine Republicans were "conservative" -- were they not?

Or, are you trying to tell us ALL NINE Republican judges were NOT conservative??? That Romney was so anemic & weak as an exec Gov that he was incapacitated from even landing one conservative judge?

And if so, what does that then tell us about...
...Romney's week-kneed behind-the-scenes capacity to govern executively?
...or his penchant for picking liberal Republicans for everything right-down-the-line?

...And, are you telling us to expect this same conservative shutout pattern when he picks his VP, his Cabinet, and all derived bureaucratic lackeys under him???

An incapacitated Republican who can't handle Democrats even to bat 1 or 2-for-36 vs. the Dems...(Yeah, that's what we Republicans need in the White House... /sarc)

[Colofornian]

So the solution is to support the heretics at Trinity UNITARIAN Church of Christ?

(Obama doesn't go there anymore; therefore your comment might be worth discussing in more depth if there was, say, an equal-level comparison here -- such as if Romney was ex- Mormon...but he's not...Romney has held several positions of "calling" within the Mormon church...the public has a right to vet that just as the MSM would have made sure of the same thing had Huckabee won in 2008...Huckabee being a former-church pastor)

[Colofornian]

We both know that Romney was no real conservative in his governance of Mass...but he was better than the alternatives, and IMHO, he did modify and lessen what would have been even worse there. But that is my opinion...I wasn’t there.

Jeff, if you make it to heaven based upon a true relationship with the true Christ who died for your sin nature as well as your personal sins, then you be sure to express your above sentiments to all the MA pre-borns dismembered from 2007 on via taxpayer-funded monies under RomneyCare.

(I'm sure they'll each express relief that the Bay State dismemberment rate could have been worse.)

I guess, Jeff, what I truly don't understand -- and perhaps you can enlighten us -- how it is that a Mormon like Romney...somebody who truly believes that Heavenly Father and his wife gave precious spirit-birth to a spirit-entity near Kolob...lived with them..."raised" them to some degree...sent them to earth to inhabit a body...and then that body is chopped up in some abortion mill...and Romney not only sanctions that, but ensures that citizens like Betty's tax $ has gone toward paying for that!

Betty, how does that feel -- knowing that your tax revenue has directly suction-vacuumed baby body parts out of women? [Seek link @ end for details]

Jeff, when I look @ that Lds doctrine, I'd always thought that Lds -- of all religious people -- would be as much "pro-life" as anybody...and yet your leaders allow for multiple exceptions...including if the Mormon god "tells" you to abort via prayer.

So, not only is Romney's track record horrific on this, but I don't think I can begin to express my disappointment when presumed pro-lifers like yourself make statements such as the one above...without realizing how that comes across re: the taxpayer-funded body count forever accumulating in MA.

Jeff, Betty, all, please review this: RomneyCare Now Funding FREE Abortions: A Disqualifier for Mitt Romney’s Candidacy [Enabler Mitt]

[Colofornian]

We all wish a more conservative candidate was going to be our nomineee...but Romney is running on much diffent campaign promises now than what he did in Mass, and I believe he will keep those commitments if elected...

Jeff, I've got this available land on a planet near Kolob. Good commuter territory. (Interested?)

Seriously, for a moment...

I'd like for you to explain how this statement that Mitt told Katie Couric, December 2007 -- about a year into his "pro-life" campaign from the previous run -- is "different" from how he governed in MA???

Couric: So what kind of embryos - embryos that are created for procreation and then would be discarded? Are those the ones that you feel are perfectly fine from which to cull cells for stem cell research?

Romney: Yes, those embryos that are referred to commonly as surplus embryos from in-vitro fertilization. Those embryos, I hope, could be available for adoption for people who would like to adopt embryos. But if a PARENT decides they would want to DONATE ONE OF THOSE EMBRYOS FOR PURPOSES of RESEARCH, in my view, that's acceptable."

Source: Candidates Reveal Their Biggest Mistakes.

Any of you "parents" want to "donate" one of your offspring that the Creator has provided to you for "research" purposes? Mitt the supposed "pro-lifer" is "A-OK" with that morally and otherwise.

And then Mitt takes us for being stupid, insulting our intelligence, that we somehow won't notice this gaping discrepancy between what he says to the MSM and what he tells gullible GOPers, pro-life independents & Dems???

I guess Obama should start telling us as he is just as "pro-life" as Romney is -- and we should as gullible "conservatives" just take that nonsense at face value as well, eh???

Well, wait a minute...Obama probably is as "pro-life" as Mitt Romney is!!!!

At least that link in my last post gives us a good indicator there!

[sheik yerbouty]

What will happen to America in the interim then? Romney is not yet the nominee. This has yet to be decided...

[reaganaut]

Our best hope is a contested convention. Anyone know of any protests planned for Tampa?

[Deb]

What a hero. Your "conscience" will allow Barak Hussein Obama four more years. Such lofty, Bible-driven principles. Obviously there's nothing your "conscience" is willing to stand up for. All great warriors sit down and refuse to fight until they are assured of the purity of their leaders.

"I shall do the same". Then I shall fight in your place while you wait for a more deserving leader. I shall now take my beautiful dogs for a run. They deserve it because they aren't Mormons.

[reaganaut]

Such lofty, Bible-driven principles. Obviously there’s nothing your “conscience” is willing to stand up for.

- - — -
It is exactly because I have Bible driven principles and will stand for them and stand by my conscience that I will never vote for Romney. My God matters more than politics.

You don’t know squat about Mormonism do you?

I’m not asking for the PERFECT candidate, just a conservative one who isn’t a lying socialist scumbag like Mitt. I supported Bachmann, Cain, Newt and Santorum - all with flaws, but I cannot support Romney. To do so would be hypocritical and contrary to my faith.

I’m sorry you have no such faith to stand on.

[Jeff Head]

The Church's stand against abortion is well documented.

Here is my onw:

THE ABORTION HOLOCAUST

I've had this position my whole life, from parents who shared it. Took my young children to protest at abortion mills in California when we lived there.

Colo, please try for once and not make eveything some kind of Mormon agenda, or LDS Conspiracy.

Your attempts seem much more oriented towards abject condescending statement, belittling, making fun of, and vitriol rather than they are Christian love and compassion.

You'll always attract more people to speak with you and to listen to you if you try Christ-like love and compassion...honey rather than the vinegar you throw at virtually every conversation.

Anyhow, I've often said I would never have done what Romney did to win in Mass, I could not justify such compromise to win an election, even if it was the law of the land.

But he did...and now he says he's changed. I hope and pray we are given the chance to find out as opposed to the sure thing, and much worse, that Obama represents. But that is simply my opinion.

[Deb]

Haha! You’re not “stand”ing on ANYTHING. You’re sitting and whining while everyone else fights the battle. Don’t even try the “My God matters more than politics” excuse. At what point did God say, “Allow a great evil to flourish if you can’t find a pure vessel to lead you.” Don’t blame God because of your weakness. I’m just as sure he’ll spew you out of his mouth.

[svcw]

To your last point - that is not mormonism

[svcw]

It might serve you well to actually learn about mormonism before you defend it as not being anti-Christian.

[Steamburg]

I can guarantee that we differ on the definition of Christian and on most things about Christianity. Informing me about what I do and don’t know is proof.

[svcw]

Based on your last point in the previous reply. I can say with certainty you know nothing about mormonism-it’s very foundation is anti-Christian.

[Tennessee Nana]

At what point did God say, “Allow a great evil to flourish if you can’t find a pure vessel to lead you.”

God would not tell anyone to vote for Willard Mitt Romney...

Instead God tells us to flee the very appearance of evil...

Willie Mitty stands for the evils of murder and immorality

[Normandy]

I really don’t see how someone can read the Book of Mormon and consider it to be anti-Christian. The whole purpose of the Book of Mormon is to persuade readers to believe in Christ and rely on Him for salvation.

Mormon I’m glad you mentioned the Christian God, the LORD Jesus Christ...

and told Colofornian to use Jesus as his example...

The LORD Jesus Christ didnt use the honey of persuasive lies

He used the vinegar of TRUTH when He spoke...

He wasnt afraid of people...

He used a whip to beat and drive the money changers and thieves out of His temple..

He didnt give them a cup of tea and scones and tell them its OK...

NO !!!!

THe LORD Jesus Christ is God Almighty and He is sick of the cult of Mormonism and the other harbingers of Baal and Molech persecuting His people the Christians...

The LORD Jesus Christ built His church, His Bride 2,000 years ago and she is still going strong today...

He promised that the very gates of Hell could not defeat her and He kept that promise...

He has protected and succured His Bride for 2,000 years

and has not lost her, misplaced her, had her stolen or destroyed...

There is only one TRUE CHURCH and she is the one whom the LORD Jesus Christ Himself built with His own Blood upon the Cross...

The LORD Jesus Christ said to Jeff,” I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man or woman comes to the Father except by Me.” John 14:6...

There is no other way to God the Father...

and because Colofornian speaks the truth about who God is FReepers listen and appreciate who he has to say...

Colofornian my dear brother in Christ...Thank you
