Who’s a Christian?
coachisright.com ^ | Feb. 24, 2012 | Jerry Todd, staff writer

Posted on 02/24/2012 7:36:59 AM PST by jmaroneps37

“Progressives” like to start “Alinskyite” argument[s] among free men and women to exploit their arguments of who is truly Christian. ….in the process, they obfuscate their own Baal worship with its child sacrifice, obsession with feces and worship of death.

As a lifelong Catholic,………………… I have stood the stones and arrows of fundamentalists and evangelicals accusing me and my faith as not being Christian. 2000 years of surviving one heresy after another and an infinite number of differences of opinion, I suspect God is working out his Covenant plan in spite of us.

As a (very) amateur theologian, I am also quite aware of the difference between Mitt Romney’s Mormonism and other Bible-oriented ……aware of a wide range of beliefs among Christians, among Jews and among Muslims (heck, they even suicide bomb each other’s shrines on holy days!). We must each be discerned by our deeds and the company we keep.

In the end, I think Jesus put the argument to rest in the Gospel of Mark 9:38-42: John said to him, ‘Teacher, we saw a man using your name to expel demons and we tried to stop him because he is not of our company.

Jesus said in reply, ‘Do not try to stop him. No man who performs a miracle using my name can at the same time speak ill of me. Anyone who is not against us is with us. Any man who gives you a drink of water because you belong to Christ, will not, I assure you, go without his reward. But it would be better if anyone who leads astray one of these simple believers were to be plunged into the sea with a great millstone around his neck.”

“…Our Constitutional Republic is desperate for righteous leadership….

Moving past the question of who is/is not a Christian is important, but not essential. Beating Obama is the most essential task facing us right now.

Here’s my Newt like response to this theorhetical reporter type question:

“Do you really care, or are you continuing the campaign to distract from Obama’s efforts to destroy this country?”

“Does it really matter what label somebody hides behind, or do his actions tell us more about who he really is?”

Let’s not allow the left to shift the debate to social issues.

We need to have our argument for social conservatism strong and ready.

But we need to reject that debate and focus on the economy.

It was the economy that the left ran on in 2006 and 2008. Obammie the Commie used the “failed economic policies of the last eight years” as the reason Americans should vote him into the White House. He said if he can’t fix the economy, he should not be re-elected.

Not only has he not fixed the economy, he adopted those “failed economic policies of the last 8 years,” put them on steroids, and has made the economy much worse than it was. Worse than this, of course, is the fact that in making the economy worse, he has used (abused) the usual avenues of relief that the economic wizards usually have at their disposal, taking shots in the dark and wasting that ammunition, so we have even less recourse that we can follow now.

Obammie and his economic socialists need to be removed from office NOW!! in order to protect our children from a lifetime of bondage to the bankers and to those who loaned this selfish generation so much money simply to buy votes.

Under no circumstances will I ever stand before my Maker and explain that because he was the lesser of two evils, I supported a baby-killing cultist who directly or through his organization proclaimed that:

  1. There are more gods than the one God revealed in the Bible.

  2. God is a glorified, perfected human being with a body of flesh and bone.

  3. God is polygamously married to dozens (at least) of wives, and spends eternity as a type of Celestial Stud engaged in endless copulation producing countless spirit babies.

  4. Jesus is the spirit brother of Lucifer.

  5. Jesus is the literal Son of God who was conceived through direct sexual intercourse between the Virgin Mary and God the Father -- or in other words, that God committed incest with his daughter Mary.

  6. A person is saved into heaven by virtue of their good works.

  7. A person must accept Joseph Smith in order to receive salvation and must pass in judgment before Joseph Smith before being admitted into Heaven.

  8. A person must believe in Prophet Lorenzo Snow's famous couplet: As man now is, God once was ... As God now is, Man may become ... that a person must be sealed in a Masonic-based temple ceremony to his/her spouse for time and all eternity in order to become gods and goddesses ruling over our own planet.

  9. Non-whites are loathsome and cursed because of something they did or did not do in the dawn of pre-existence whereas people of European descent in general, and Mormons in particular, are white and delightsome and thus superior to minorities.

  10. Wives will only be resurrected by their their husbands after he calls out their Temple Name from beyond the veil.

  11. Christianity ceased to exist after the death of the twelve apostles, to the point where all Christian Churches (especially the Baptists, Catholics, Methodists and Presbyterians) became an abomination in the eyes of the Lord.

  12. The Mormon Church is Christian.

Furthermore, I can't believe that any true Christian anywhere would ever contemplate supporting any candidate for any public office that espouses such horrible heretical and blasphemous doctrines -- be they Muslim, Mormon, or whatever.

In my case, if asked to uphold one cultist or the other, I will always support neither no matter what the cost or penalty.

“Moving past the question...”???

Hardly, he’s busy pulling a satanic stunt. Trying to shame Christians into not responding to the challenges mormons are making. All but stating that Christians who respond to mormon heresy are akin to alinskyites and baal.

More like raising the ante, amateur hour from a know nothing.

IOW, the “author” of this piece can KMA.

When did Jews and Christians bomb each other’s shrines?
mormonism is not Christianity.
Before you defend or apologize for mormonism you really need to learn about it.
Romney is a liberal because of his mormonism not in spite of it.
There is not a dimes worth of difference between Romney and BHO.
You are aware that Jesus said to call out false prophets right? That would be Joseph Smith.
You are aware that mormonism teaches that Catholics are an abomination and whores of Babylon - right?

Before you jump all over me...... I realize that only God knows and it's what He decides that matters. I also realize that people can change. They have until their dieing breath to do so.

Still, I can make determinations of my own, at this moment in time and reassess as necessary. God's will be done, not mine.

The left MUST suppress the evangelical vote. I think they are succeeding.

I will vote for Rick. He lives life as a Christian.

I’m with Franklin Graham.
Abortion and same sex marriage are deal breakers. I can’t vote for Obama or Romney. I can vote for Santorum or Gingrich.

I just wish Romney/Paul would get out of the way, so we could evaluate Santorum vs Gingrich without their distractions and false attacks.

The Right Answer on Birth Control

Posted by Dan McLaughlin (Diary)

[....snip....]

So, how should a Republican presidential candidate have answered that question? Like this:

“If you’re asking me what I personally believe about birth control, that’s a private issue and it’s none of anybody’s business. People have different moral views about birth control, and they can make their own individual choices in private. It’s a free country.

“But if you’re asking me if the federal government should be involved in contraception, my answer is simple. Barack Obama says it should – he’s the one who wants the federal government to stick its nose into birth control. I say it shouldn’t – you want it, you get it yourself. Tell President Obama that he should repeal the new federal rules, because birth control is none of the federal government’s business.

Even people who don’t agree with social conservatives on moral issues and aren’t especially interested in religious liberty can understand the appeal of freedom and the downsides of having the federal government insert itself into these issues. If Republicans can’t carry a simple message like that, we shouldn’t be in this business

We have here a turd (Rominy’s mormonism problem) wrapped in nice packaging meant to distract from the stench and poison. Milt Rominy cannot grasp the nomination so long as Christian conservatives reject his faux Christian religion, so we have Mormon apologists and Milt sycophants wrapping their turd in deceptive packages like this plea to ignore ‘social issues’ and focus upon what these sycophants believe are Rominy’s strong points. Don’t be distracted by the wrappings ...

The left wants "bishop" Romney because real Christians will NOT vote for him.

5. Jesus is the literal Son of God who was conceived through direct sexual intercourse between the Virgin Mary and God the Father -- or in other words, that God committed incest with his daughter Mary.

I've been thinking about the Mormon denial of the work of the Holy Spirit in the conception of Jesus Christ. Here is what the Bible says:

"And the angel answered and said unto her, "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." (Luke 1:35)

Those [Mormons] who say that it was not the Holy Spirit, but rather an exalted man who had physical sex with Mary, strike at the very heart of the redemptive work of God in Christ, when they attribute Christ's incarnation to the same [demonic] apparition that visited Joseph Smith in his infamous vision. How are they not blaspheming the Holy Spirit, an unforgivable sin (Luke 12:10)?

What a choice will it be in the upcoming a election, if one has to choose between antichrists?

“Do you really care, or are you continuing the campaign to distract from Obama’s efforts to destroy this country?”

Yeppers, SOMEONE needs to say this. Outright. The Left/MSM's heads would collectively explode.
"Do you REALLY believe that 0bama is intentionally trying to destroy the country?"

And again, the answer would be another question:
"Let's say he's not. If he were, how would he be acting differently?"
