Romney is not a christian and I will never vote for a non-christian. Its really that simple.

So you plan on voting for Obama?

Welcome to Free Republic, I think.

[RedMonqey]

You have a LOT more time available than I; for mine is mostly all used exposing the soft underbelly of MORMONism.

:
Your time would be better spent learning about the basics of OUR faith than chastise anothers...


Have you come up why as an "Christian" you have never kept the Sabbath(Saturday, not Sunday) holy as Jesus, Moses and Abraham did?

(No, I didn't forget)

Nope? I didn't think so...

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Matthew 7:3

Maybe you need to to tend to your own house before you "cast stones" at another's

I'm sorry if my focus is ENTIRELY on MORMONism, but the other groups you want 'bashed' on my watch will just have to get their OWN candidate in the race first.

Don't pretend that you only have a problem with Mormons. If a Catholic or Jew was running you would be just a worked up in a knot against them.

Your type has been around for ages.

You have made it a personal crusade "to cast stones" at those who don't believe exactly as you do.

My "crusade" is to burst the hot air from the "holier than thou" types that puff themselves up to be.

Moses and Abraham were not Christians. Jesus gave the Church the authority to declare the Day of the Lord (1st day of the week). And they did. You may wish to consult Acts.

Elsie does not believe exactly as I do, yet I consider him a true brother in Christ; I believe that he reciprocates in that fashion as well.

Yes, Don Quixote.

[Friendofgeorge]

The arguments have been made, there is no room for excuses, anybody that votes Democrat knows darn well that a vote for a democrat is a vote for abortion and anti Christian values via the Supreme Court.

As to Christians growing slowly etc....The removal of Christ from classroom/public square, the murder of God`s unborn children, same sex marriage etc?? If the Spirit of the living God is in them, they would not support such evils...CASE CLOSED

Sure!

The LAW was given to the CHosen People: the Jews.

I am a gentile.

Read Acts 15^th chapter.

I would be?

Can you make any money with this mindreading ability you claim to have?

Bump for the missing 210

[RedMonqey]

Read Acts 15th

So Acts 15 abrogates the Law of God, written by the Hand of God on Mount Sinai?

By omission?

Well that’s must come as a relief to those who don’t like the constraints of the Ten Commandments

Of course, Acts and Paul says no such thing just as Acts does nothing to change the Sabbath to Sunday

Paul is simply reassuring the uncircumcised gentiles who are concerned about circumcision, the ceremonial laws and ceremonial sacrifices (the Laws of Men) and not to be” burdened” by them as they are no longer necessity because of Christ’s sacrifice. .

Most of those who defend first day Sabbath go to Colossians 2:16. But even there it does not declare a change in the date of the Sabbath, just how one goes about keeping it.

No, the Sabbath was changed but by those outside the wisdom of the Bible and with more worldly reasons.

Try again.

As am I

Under the New Convenant, Jesus and died for all and gave the Law Of God to all who will accept him as Christ the Savior.
Jews don’t necessariliy get any special privileges for being the Chosen People in the New Testament.

Jesus is the Messiah predicted in the Old Testament and the he is the fulfillment of the law and the prophets See Hebrews 7-10

But that's just going by The Book(as you insist)

[RedMonqey]

I would be?

It’s either that or you have hypocritical standards.

Pick your poison

You cannot use the Bible as a sword to attack those whose doctrine is outside of the Bible on one hand and a Shield against another‘s doctrine outside of the Bible but you find favor/or of willful ignorance.

That's the corner you painted youself in for being so judgemental.

[James C. Bennett]

That is what some term ‘dangerous theology’. When you imply that the human part of Jesus had to pray to the ‘god’ part of his, and if he had to do so through external acts such as prayer, it denies the total intimacy between the two ‘parts’ - that external acts of supplication had to be performed to communicate between the two ‘parts’

The mechanics of the entire thing would also make the human part as crucial as the ‘god’ part. And the trinity would have to rather be termed the ‘quadrinity’ to give full credit to the importance of the human part.

By the way, what happened to the human part?

[1010RD]

Your comments are logically consistent and spot on throughout this entire thread. Well done.

[James C. Bennett]

Thanks, all I’m doing is asking questions and questioning assumptions.
