I like Mitt Romney and believe he could be a fine president under different circumstances. As a born-again Christian, I cannot vote for him. As Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor of a large Baptist church in Dallas, said, Mormonism is not just another denomination; it is a cult.
Jeffress is a fine man. I have watched him on television for many years, even though I am not a Baptist.
A few years ago, I purchased books, magazines and DVDs from Lamb and Lion Ministries. Two DVDs concerned cults. The largest and most well-known is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
The Jesus of the cults is not the Jesus of our Holy Bible. Their Jesus was conceived by God who once was a man and became God by being good. This god had sex with Mary so came Jesus. God has a wife, therefore, a Mother God and Father God. They had many other children. Jesus and Lucifer are brothers.
Mormons believe if they are good enough they can become a god, and have their own planet. The Mormon church never has a cross outside, or inside, because you don't honor a murder weapon. Our Jesus gave up His life and shed His blood on the cross so that we might be saved. They take communion with bread and water; they hate the blood. Mormons don't get to go into the big Temples very often. They mainly go to be baptized for people who died years ago so that they could go to heaven. Mormons must not drink coffee or tea, and be married for life to go into the big Temple. They have three Heavens.
I don't. And it has nothing to do with his magic underpants.
Wrong -- he'd be a bad President under any circumstances as long as he holds his liberal views.
“As a born-again Christian, I cannot vote for him. As Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor of a large Baptist church in Dallas, said, Mormonism is not just another denomination; it is a cult.”
Bigotry on display. My religion is better than your religion.
“My religion is better than your religion.1’
..is not...
Pretty pathetic set of priorities.
What...no pics?
Not a sound argument. Why should we have to assume that all religions are equally good, effective, useful, etc.?
Religious bigotry.
I don’t find Mormons threatening in any way. Some Muslims, on the other hand...
Anyone seen pictures of those drawers? Boxer's or briefs.
Do all mormans wear them, or just their Special Elite?
Whatever one thinks of Romney's Mormonism, clearly it has had no negative impact on his governing capabilities.
Romney is not a RINO because he is a Mormon. He is a RINO because he has no real commitment to the founding principles of our nation.
That's why I won't vote for him. But if he did, if he really was a fighter for core American constitutional values, I would vote for him in a second, Mormon or not.
Statements of Christian Denominations on Mormonism:
Christian churches teach belief in God as an eternal, self-existent, immortal being, unfettered by corporeal limitations and unchanging in both character and nature. In recent years, several Christian denominations have made studies of Mormon teaching and come to the conclusion that there are irreconcilable differences between LDS doctrine and Christian beliefs based on the Bible.
Serious question;
What is the difference between a religion and a cult? When I think of cults I think of Jonestown or the Manson Family or the Moonies.
What is it that makes mormonism like these groups? Thank you.
Don;t worry about it. The Mormonism thing is one of those thing where people with discernment understand the point, those without it don’t.
I heard it has something to do with symbols on them.
We’ve had plenty of heretic presidents.
You mean, under circumstances in which he wasn't a liberal Yankee goofball who would change his mind about his own name for a vote? What alternative universe would that be?
Just vote for the Democrat, honey.
