“Sorry. I have personally heard many anti-Mormon sermons preached from the pulpit.”
That’s because the Mormon religion is a cult.
Any religion that teaches that Jesus was a created being, the brother of Satan, and that the members of that religion themselves will become gods who control their own universe someday is definitely not Christian no matter what’s in their “title” and can’t be compared with Catholicism, which isn’t a cult.
Having said that, I’d vote for Romney in a heartbeat because I agree with him on most issues. Besides, nobody knows what’s really in his heart nor what he’ll believe in the future anyway. I think it’s likely that God hasn’t finished with him yet.
It always strikes me that the LDS general authorities and LDS grass roots can be so vigorous to distance themselves from fundamental LDS polygamists in the Southern part of Utah/No AZ--all over (a) polygamy; and (b) which prophet to follow...
...But Christians from historic traditions are supposed to look the other way when deeper and more significant differences are identified between us and LDS.
Yet another inconsistency that shows a lack of intellectual integrity.
you shall escape the worm that ceaselessly coils for food around the body whose scum6 has bred it. Now such (torments) as these shall you avoid by being instructed in a knowledge of the true God. And you shall possess an immortal body, even one placed beyond the possibility of corruption, just like the soul. And you shall receive the kingdom of heaven, you who, while you sojourned in this life, knew the Celestial King. And you shall be a companion of the Deity, and a co-heir with Christ, no longer enslaved by lusts or passions, and never again wasted by disease. For you have become God:7 for whatever sufferings you underwent while being a man, these He gave to you, because you were of mortal mould, but whatever it is consistent with God to impart, these God has promised to bestow upon you, because you have been deified, and begotten unto immortality.7 This constitutes the import of the proverb, "Know yourself; "i.e., discover God within yourself, for He has formed you after His own image. For with the knowledge of self is conjoined the being an object of God's knowledge, for you are called by the Deity Himself. Be not therefore inflamed, O you men, with enmity one towards another, nor hesitate to retrace7 with all speed your steps. For Christ is the God above all, and He has arranged to wash away sin from human beings,7 rendering regenerate the old man. And God called man His likeness from the beginning, and has evinced in a figure His love towards you. And provided you obey His solemn injunctions, and becomest a faithful follower of Him who is good, you shall resemble Him, inasmuch as you shall have honour conferred upon you by Him. For the Deity, (by condescension,) does not diminish anything of the divinity of His divine7 perfection; having made you even God unto His glory!7There is actually quite a lot of support for Mormon Doctrine that does not come from the Mormon church.
