On Mormons & Mitt Romney

   

     It's in all the news, and so is everything else you are supposed to believe.  Willard Mitt Romney is the front runner and the probable nominee of the Republican party for President of the United States.  I don't think he is the front runner and I hope he isn't the nominee for President.  Mitt has several problems in my book.  First, he's in the liberal wing of the party.  He can't get around it, no matter how many promises he makes that those beliefs(pro-abortion, big government, etc) are a thing of the past.  Hey, he was just endorsed by Senator John McCain, another liberal guy!  Furthermore, former President George H. W. Bush has also endorsed Mr. Romney.  You probably remember both Bush's were NWO(new world order) guys, so that is not a true conservative endorsement!  To most conservatives, those endorsements alone, would rule Mitt Romney out!

     Romney's other serious problem is that he is a member of the Mormon church.  Most people don't know what the Mormon's preach and believe.  A Mormon co-worker and I had many conversations early in my career, as he tried to convert me over to his "one true faith".  The Mormons believe they have the one true church and will be blessed by God in the next life.  A film released in the early 80's called "the Godmakers" revealed the previously guarded secret teachings of the church.  A short overview is here, and would be a good 6 minute investment on your part.  The full video, also worth watching but 55 minutes long is here.  Mormons call themselves Christians, but the differences in mainstream Christian teachings are significant. 

      Mormons believe & teach...
The Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price are ALL sacred texts.
That the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three distinct beings but are one in purpose.
The Heavenly Father(God) has a physical body.
Jesus Christ HAS a physical body and had multiple wives.
There is a second chance for salvation after death.
That these Sacraments are necessary, baptism, confirmation, Lord's Supper, laying on of hands, ordination, temple endowment, and marriage sealing.
That faithful members, after death, are placed on various planets with their spirit wives.  There, they make spirit babies and populate the planet.
Fundamentalist Mormons practice having a plurality of wives(polygamy).

     There is a good website called Saints Alive in Jesus.  They are mostly ex-Mormons who feel the need to reach out to "those lost in Mormonism and other cults".  Their resource library has an article by Rauni Higley entitled, "Why I, as a former Mormon, would not vote for Mitt Romney".  It is hard hitting and is a must read for all those contemplating support for Mitt Romney! 

     I can't think of a better Bible verse to leave you with than Galatians 1:8...
But should we, or an angel from Heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
