I must respond to you as an evangelical Christian.

The United States of America is a Constitutional Republic.

God made a covenant with Israel. That was the only nation that He made a covenant with. His new covenant is made with those who believe in the blood of Jesus to cover their sins (Luke 22:20: “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.”) There are believers everywhere in the world that are part of this new covenant.

God does not have a special relationship with ANY country. God’s people can be found in China, in Korea, in Zimbabwe, in Nigeria, in Brazil.

YES - we Christians have a special duty to work in all realms, and we believe that following God’s laws are beneficial to ensure general happiness and welfare. So we work hard to see that those good laws are implemented in civic society. But we cannot save anyone, or make them go to heaven, through the implementation of civil law.

Mormons do not believe in salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ alone. They reject this God - they have their own made-up version of God. I will pray for Mitt Romney and for his salvation.

But God is on the throne and He always will be.

The possibility of the repentance of nations is explicitly stated in Scripture. The below passage was presented to Israel, but was exampled directly by Jonah’s preaching to the people of Nineveh, who were Assyrian, not Israelites:

Jer 18:7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; [8] If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. [9] And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; [10] If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

As for what might incline God to so judge a nation, if only we had hands as clean as the people of Nineveh, I might have hope for us. But we have known the way of the true God, and have known his power to bring us blessing, peace, and favor as a nation. Yet now we are being asked to choose between a man whose god is the utopian state of Marxism, versus a man who sees himself as a god, one day to be worshipped on far worlds. If a third choice does not appear, I will conclude we are indeed under judgment, at which turn my desire will be to keep myself clean before God and hope for His mercy.

And to remain clean, among other things, I cannot ever, ever give my support to the purveyor of a false Gospel, a false Christ, a multiplicity of false and pagan deities. To do so would be to boldly disobey Christ, to spit in God’s face, right at the moment he is taking us to the woodshed for our rebellion. This strikes me as foolish in the extreme. It is a free country, for now, and you are free to vote as like, for whatever reason you like. But for me and mine, we will take our chances with trusting God and not man.

Peace,

You post: “ Mormons do not believe in salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ alone.”

Yes they do - except maybe for the ‘alone’ part. There they believe in what the leader of the followers after Jesus was killed, taught.

James 2:17

“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.”

And who was James, this leader? He was the blood brother of Jesus and leader of the followers until he was killed in 62AD - then another brother(may have been a 1st cousin), Simeon was the leader - it was a blood line succession.

As to the Mormons and their belief in Jesus - the hymn most often sang in their services is: “I Know My Redeemer Lives” -

They don't believe in the Trinity - a doctrine unheard of for over 300 years after Jesus. They are not the only Christian church who does not espouse the Trinity.

You will never find Mormons vilifying other peoples faith or presuming to know who does and does not believe in Jesus and The Father.

And I respectfully submit that even you, who would, it seems, esteem yourself the holder of God-like righteous judgment over others, do not have the prerequisite wisdom to so pronounce. This country is in great peril. We MUST defeat this devil's servant now in the WH. THAT is the bottom line.

You and your fellow Mormon haters are aiding and abetting the muslim who is determined to destroy our country - and will, if he is is reelected...and if he is, and he does, YOU will have helped him. How Christian is that?
