Is Mitt Romney trying to woo the teenage girl vote ahead of next year's presidential election?
In a potentially campaign-changing development, the 2012 presidential hopeful admitted to NBC's Jamie Gangel that he happens to be a fan of the "Twilight" series. The revelation came up during a discussion of books the former Massachusetts governor has read, including George W. Bush's recent memoir. But that's not all, Romney added.
"I like silly stuff, too," Romney volunteered. "I like the 'Twilight' series. That was fun."

Mr. Rogers...frankly I would advise you to look after your soul. You do not know me.
I agree...our treasure and reward is grace, and with it, we get to enjoy a walk through eterenity in a relationship with God. Frankly my reward is going to be just to see all the wonderous things in the universe he has created...because what he created here on earth is awesome and more wonderous sometimes than I can behold.
As long as what I am reading doesn’t effect my relationship with God, as I wait for him to take me home, there is absolutely no harm in it. There are much scarier things in the Revelation that are likier to be real, than are in these books of teenage tales.
If you post here saying what you read doesn’t affect your spiritual welfare, I’m free to disagree. I don’t know you, but I know you are giving bad advice.
That’s your OPINION! And you are welcome to stick with it. But you must understand, it’s just your opinion and the worthiness of it is in the eye of the beholder.
I bid you a very warm goodnight, Sir. Be sure to check under your bed for boogy bears among the dust bunny monsters..
Oh shut up! I am most likely older than you are, have been practicing religion longer, have a degree minor in religioius studies, and have more discernment obviously than you do.
________________________________________
What an unChristianlike way to speak to a man trying to help you
Lets look at what you said
1. I am most likely older than you are,
There are 3 year olds with more sense about God than you have
2. have been practicing religion longer,
Youy no doubt have but this is about Christianity not just a generic “religion”
BTW Satan has “been practicing religion longer” than you
3. have a degree minor in religioius studies,
There are several FReepers who outshine you there
I guess your education in Islam etc means nothing in comparasion
4. and have more discernment obviously than you do.
No kid
it is obvious that you dont know much at all about discernment
BTW I graduated from a 4 year Baptist college with a BSc
Since youre counting that would make me smarter than you

Even God did not require us to live in relationship with Him
____________________________________________
Kid the 10 Commandments are the 10 Requirements
God said we must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth John 4:24
Who in their right mind would not want a relationship with God ???
You do not know me.

I dunno, I can’t imagine living without one. But a lot of people evidently don’t agree with us, TennnesseeNana, as they are trying to drive God out of our country.
When I said God did not require us to have a relationship with him, I meant that he gave us free will to chose. The many chose not to have one and stay independent from Him, you know.
However, he did tell us that if we follow his Commandments plus we accept the offer of grace, thru Jesus Christ, we will triumph over human death and walk in partnership with Him through the universe for eternity. I chose that because of the love and peace that goes along with it. I wish more people would. But even God won’t force them. He could, but he won’t.

He could’ve just made us all robots with no choice, but he wants a loving relationship with his creations.
No you don’t.
Twilight? Ugh! Now, if he’d said “Harry Potter,” he might have won my vote!

Kid you and I dont agree
Lets get that straight
You have said some unGodlike things to FRiends of mine that I do agree with and who I admire and look up too
Im not into that “free will” thingy that sounds too much like Mormonism
I always refer to God as Him, He, His etc
That important reverent capital H is missing in your posts
and I dont knopw where you got this blasphemy
“thru Jesus Christ, we will triumph over human death and walk in partnership with Him through the universe for eternity”
But its not in the Christian Bible
BTW Did I tell you that I have read the Bible through completely nearly 60 times and studied it continually for nearly 60 years ???
No ???
Well I thought you might put some importance on that fact...
Its neither here nor there to me but you keep merntioning stuff like that...
Did the thief on the Cross next to the LORD Jesus Christ ever read the Bible or get a minor in religion ???
I thought you might heave come across that info in all your extraBiblical reading
Oh well
Look, I’m not trying to win a popularity contest here. So frankly my dear your opinion is your opinion, and it’s about as loosey goosey a Christian opinion as ‘I’ have ever seen because you OBVIOUSLY do not understand the scriptures or your relationship with God.
Now...I am very secure in MY relationship with HIM. I suggest you get to work on yours.
You gotta watch it with the Rifftrax guys ripping it. Diamond Encrusted Comedy Platinum...

Do not send me FReepMails about unsourced drivel
with a lot of scriptures from the Christian Bible that did not fit
It reads like something right out of Mormonism
You are not a FRiend of mine and sneaky undercover messages are not acceptable
Since you are so much above everyone else I am surprised that you would snoop to such low behavior
Anything you have to say to me say it out here in the open thread...like a man would..
You attempted to give me a convaluted version of what you deem FREE WILL
It appears you override God’s part in all this by making Him out to be a wimp who can be boswsed around
God is not a wimp to be ordered around
God the Father, God Almighty
God the Word, the Son, the LORD Jesus Christ the Lamb, the Lion, the Alpha and Omega
God the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit
God in Three Persons, the Trinity
God is not a wimp
You try being nailed to the Cross and shedding your lood there and dying there to save all the world (if they want to be saved)
and see how long you last
A wimp would not have laid down His life for His friends
Meanwhile its not OUR WILL but HIS
Try your stuff out on God and see how long He takes it
As God instructed us to pray to Him...
THY will be done in Earth, as it is in Heaven. (The LORD Jesus Christ, Matthew 6:10)
and again
“not my will, but yours be done.” (The LORD Jesus Christ, Luke 22:42
And yet; you've JUDGED us for JUDGING them!
Matthew 28:19-20
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
sorry, partial to Ashley Greene
He admits to liking them.
Does that mean he is NOT 'discerning'; as you put it?
