Then a Mormon would believe it too?
Here is a quote from LDS Apostle Jeffrey R. Holland's talk in a recent conference:
Now, to anyone within the sound of my voice who has wondered regarding our Christianity, I bear this witness. I testify that Jesus Christ is the literal, living Son of our literal, living God. This Jesus is our Savior and Redeemer who, under the guidance of the Father, was the Creator of heaven and earth and all things that in them are. I bear witness that He was born of a virgin mother, that in His lifetime He performed mighty miracles observed by legions of His disciples and by His enemies as well. I testify that He had power over death because He was divine but that He willingly subjected Himself to death for our sake because for a period of time He was also mortal. I declare that in His willing submission to death He took upon Himself the sins of the world, paying an infinite price for every sorrow and sickness, every heartache and unhappiness from Adam to the end of the world. In doing so He conquered both the grave physically and hell spiritually and set the human family free. I bear witness that He was literally resurrected from the tomb and, after ascending to His Father to complete the process of that Resurrection, He appeared, repeatedly, to hundreds of disciples in the Old World and in the New. I know He is the Holy One of Israel, the Messiah who will one day come again in final glory, to reign on earth as Lord of lords and King of kings. I know that there is no other name given under heaven whereby a man can be saved and that only by relying wholly upon His merits, mercy, and everlasting grace can we gain eternal life.The recent annual LDS Christmas Devotional includes talks by the LDS Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley and his two counselors. It is also revealing about the LDS understanding of the role of Christ. You can listen here or watch here.
BTW, My current preference is #1: Hunter, #2: Thompson, #3: Romney. In my opinion, these are the only candidates who are right on "most" of the important issues.
But:
"You must not love this passing world or anything that is in the world. The love of the Father cannot be in any man who loves the world...because the world, with all it craves for, is coming to an end..." (1 Jn.2:15-17).
""After I have gone and prepared you a place, I shall return to take you with me...""
(Jn.14:3).
sorry, no reign on earth. That has already happened through his church. New earth, new heaven, so scripture goes.
Thanks. Many people have corrected me on this issue. My point in even bringing it up is that it is one of many things that people accept on faith yet aren’t asked to explain when running for President. As for as my preferences for Pres, I have property in both NH and MA but still vote in MA so I won’t have to really decide until later on. I’ll have to wait to see who is still standing at the time. I want to beat the Democrats and if I have to compromise on a battle to win the war, I’ll do it.
