"For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve." -2 Cor 11:13-15
So here's the thing: Two different guys, centuries and continents apart, are living their lives minding their own businesses, when suddenly the "Angel Gabriel" appears to them and delcares among other things that:
The churches of Christ are corrupt and obsolete.
God's written word is incomplete. Therefore a third, "New" New Testement is necessary and here it is, grab a pencil. Also,
Polygamy is not only okay, it is to be encouraged and pursued.
Polygamy is not only okay, it is to be encouraged and pursued.
Gen. 2:18, 21-24
The Lord God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him’...and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh.
Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, ‘This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.’ For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
This could be why Romney sees nothing wrong with homosexuality and nothing unethical about the elite using the govenerment and legal power to force it on Christian people.
