Except that He placed His GODHOOD on the shelf for His duration on Earth.
Besides, the LAW said 2 or 3 witnesses.
Did they all not walk away?

Oops, the above statement is wrong.
But that fact does not nullify the power of the Scriptures; does it?
Dang!
That seems a bit, uh, judgemental.
How about Apollo, then?
Give us BARABBAS!!
Did you ever vote for any other candidate with even a speck of permissiveness towards abortion? If so didn’t you also incur the implied damnation there, even if the candidate’s opponent would have led to a worse abortion situation than the candidate did?
I’m not telling you about what Protestants say. Pick up a bible and read it and you’ll get the gist of that. I’m telling you what other serious Catholics say. They don’t believe God countenances the stupid situation where only the perfect may get a Christian’s secular nod, leading to the worse of two bad alternatives prevailing.
Isn’t it a bit late to clamor to Pilate for Jesus to be released after that little dust up in Jerusalem? I guess one could write Jesus Christ in on the ballot. That’s permitted. But that’s not how the government will get to be upon his shoulders.
The Mormon system seems hopelessly confused. Or maybe I just don’t comprehend a religion that has people growing into capital G God. It sounds like a half hearted attempt at what pantheism preaches unabashedly.
Anyhow, surely there are standards that God is supposed to live up to? Like those that most religions of the civilized world ascribe to righteous deity? Mitt sure did a lousy job of that in Mass. Maybe he’s got better ideas this time around, I hope he does. I get the sense that Mitt isn’t taking Mormon theology in full seriousness in spite of his elevated position in the organization. He’d surely have stated an intention to name another Mormon as veep if he did take it that seriously.
DISCONNECT ALERT!!

You are wrong.
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? Do you not know that the saints will judge the world?... And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?... Do you not know that we shall judge angels?... How much more, things that pertain to this life?.. If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge ? (1 Corinthians 6:1-5).
Many commands of God require the exercise of righteous judgment.
But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us (2 Thessalonians 3:6).
And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother (2 Thessalonians 3:14,15).
Teach and exhort these things. If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wrangling of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself (2 Timothy 6:2b-5).
Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple (Romans 16:17,18).
All these commands require the careful exercise of righteousness judgment. Do not be deceived by smooth words and flattering speech. Beware of wolves who come to you with a sheeps skin.
We must be careful not to make unqualified judgments. But we must judge appropriately when commanded to do so.
Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment. (John 7:24).

I am a MORMON!
"Tell me," one guest asked the Mrs, "Did you ever consider divorce?"
The Mrs replied: "Divorce, no. Murder, yes."
I guess that makes it ok to exalt a deceived (or a deceiving) MORMON to the Highest position in the land.
Hoosier is my first language: English my second...

...and EVERYTHING satisfies the ABO crowd.
GO for it!!
