Bottom line, Mormons are our neighbors. We are to love our neighbors. And Jesus made it abundantly clear that "neighbor" also means people who do not believe as we do.

Indeed, dearest sister in Christ — that is my understanding as well.

Thank you so very much for writing!

P.S.:

And thank you so very much, dearest sister, for posting the two Great Commandments:

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

Actually, as you have pointed out in your wonderful book, there is really only One Great Commandment, the First above ("Love God with all thy heart...."); the second, "Love thy neighbor as thyself" is a corollary of the First.

This is what God commands us to do. I think we should do it. This is what defines a Christian.

Loving my neighbor does not include any corollary that I must vote for him.

And, of course, extending this line of argument would make Barack Obama my neighbor, too.

And there’s no inclination on my part to vote for him, either.

However, the only Christian, praying, Trinitarian brother in the entire race is Virgil Goode, a Baptist from Virginia.

God has given us a choice, a clear choice that bears great promise because of faithfulness. Social conservatives in block voting for Goode and not evil will redound in God’s way to the good of the nation.

Social conservatives in small numbers standing for principle will be laying the groundwork for future blessing.

God has always rewarded faithfulness. He changes not.

Bottom line, Mormons are our neighbors. We are to love our neighbors. And Jesus made it abundantly clear that "neighbor" also means people who do not believe as we do.

And our love is to take the form of Christ's love to us and the of his love that was documented in the New Testament where he was continually pointing out the error of the actions of people he met and calling them to repentence.

We are not emulating Christ's love if we refuse to warn people of the error of their lives, especially if that error leads them down the wide path to destruction which Mormonism does with their false god and their false teachings.
