I have no disagreement with Rev. Graham’s plea that we vote for Biblical Values.

What concerns me is this — why did he have to go so far as declare Mormonism no longer a cult?

This is going too far.

He didn’t. The article is trying to intentionally mislead people to think he did. Removing a webpage is not the same as declaring Mormonism to not be a cult.

He also went too far when he said that Hillary would make a good president.

"Seen through the lens of history, entering the mainstream poses major risks.
If Mormons think of themselves as another Christian denomination, the risk of
defection rises. The distinctive Mormon beliefs in a new scripture and in the
possibility of joining the supernal realm for eternal life will come into jeopardy
precisely because they mark differences with the Protestant mainstream. If you
believe you are not that different from others, there will be a tendency to
downplay those practices and beliefs that suggest otherwise."

While I understand Reverend Grahams’ motivations I do share your concern as well.

God is in control - nothing positive or negative is going to happen to the US unless He wants it that way or simply allows it (in which case He had His reasons). Best to keep your allegiance with the Most High.

He did not. Do not twist what happened. The explanation is a simple one. It is not about what you try and make it to be. There is no comment made by the organization as to whether they still think Mormonism is a cult. You obviously are reading some one else’s interpretation of what was said NOT the actual information. Shame one you
