Then why has he allowed the Church of Latter-Day Saints to survive and thrive?
I'm a Catholic, and I'm pretty confident your sources also have a long, wordy discourse on why I'm going to Hell because of my faith. But, I'm supporting Mitt Romney whole-heartedly, as are millions of other conservatives and right-thinking Democrats.
When it comes to rendering judgement on the faith of others, I just remember that Christ told me to take the plank out of my own eye before I start to worry about the specks in the eyes of others. Maybe you should try that.
#1...we ALL have personally earned God's wrath. So why has He allowed anyone to "survive and thrive" despite our sin?
His Love. His compassion. His mercy. His patience. (You do know, doncha, that some Lds become Christians.)

OK, in your post, you've accused me of having some "long, wordy discourse on why" you're "going to Hell because of my faith." Let me ask you something, then, in light of your "plank-eye" comment: "Did your remove any splinters...or "planks" "out" of your own eye prior to making that accusation?...Or are your eyes so pure that you can just go 'round carte-blanche and make such accusations of complete strangers?
And -- then -- are you not "rendering judgment" of my very own religious expressions I've mentioned on this thread?
If Mitt Romney's beliefs are apparently not "fair game" for critique (per what we can take from your comments), then why are my religious expressions "fair game" for your critiques? (Are you not being inconsistent by the very standards you profess here?)
And since you have critiqued my religious expressions, did you happen to remove any splinters -- or perhaps "planks" -- from your eyes prior to making such judgments of me?
In fact, since, in Christ's example, He talked of both splinters as well as planks/beams, why did you automatically leap into accusing me of having "planks" in my eyes?
And why has God allowed islam to survive or cancer......we are sinful beings and sin brings much to us that was never intended.
Before you try and quote Bible it might serve you to know what you are talking about.
Christ commanded us to judge everything against the Word of God Almighty, the only thing we cannot judge is a person’s heart that is God’s and God’s alone.
When mormonism is judged against the Word of God it fails.
We are to call out false teachings and prophets - the teachings of mormonism are false, the prophets of mormonism are false.
This article is written by a woman who knows mormonism and now knows Christ - she is expressing her angst over this election.
How hard is that to understand.
It ain't about FAITH; but FALSE TEACHINGS.
Did you NOT learn from Catholicism that they MUST be exposed and expunged??
