ah poor little Romnuts got his feelings hurt.
But hey Gov Perry has been attack viciously over his Christian Faith.
It is not my place to question anyones faith. But here is some info on Mormons. FYI-period.
According to Bruce McConkie, a general authority of the LDS Church, “Mormonism is indistinguishable from Christianity.”[29] In many ways, however, the religion differs from orthodoxy as held by Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant Christianity. To those for whom Christianity is defined by that orthodoxy, Mormonism’s differences place it outside the umbrella of Christianity altogether.[30][31]
Since its beginnings, the faith has proclaimed itself to be Christ’s Church restored with its original authority, structure and power; maintaining that existing denominations believed incorrect doctrines and were not acknowledged of God as his church and kingdom.[32] Though the religion quickly gained a large following of Christian seekers, in the 1830s, many American Christians came to view the church’s early doctrines and practices[33] as politically and culturally subversive. This discord led to a series of sometimes-deadly conflicts between Mormons and other Christians.[34] Although such violence has declined in the last century, the religion’s unique doctrinal views and practices still generate criticism, as well as efforts by Mormons and other Christians to proselytize each other.
Mormons believe in Jesus Christ as the literal firstborn Son of God and Messiah, his crucifixion as a conclusion of a sin offering, and subsequent resurrection.[35] However, Latter-day Saints (LDS) reject the ecumenical creeds and definition of the Trinity taught by the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Anglican Communion, and Trinitarian Protestantism,[36][37] and hold that the New Testament prophesied both the apostasy from the teachings of Christ and his apostles as well as the restoration of all things prior to the second coming of Christ.[38]
Some notable differences with mainstream Christianity include: A belief that Jesus began his atonement from sin in the garden of Gethsemane and continued it to his crucifixion, rather than the orthodox belief that the crucifixion alone was the physical atonement;[39] division of heaven into three degrees of glory, with hell (often called spirit prison) being a temporary repository for the wicked between death and the resurrection.[40] Additionally, Mormons don’t believe in creation ex nihilo, believing that matter is eternal, and that God organizes existing matter.[41]
Much of the Mormon belief system is oriented geographically around the North and South American continents. Mormons believe the people of the Book of Mormon lived in the western hemisphere, that Christ appeared in the western hemisphere after his death and resurrection, that the true faith was restored in upstate New York by Joseph Smith, and that the Garden of Eden and location of Christ’s second coming were and will be in the state of Missouri. For this and other reasons, including a belief by many Mormons in American exceptionalism, Molly Worthen speculates that this may be why Leo Tolstoy described Mormonism as the “quintessential ‘American religion’”.[42]

“that Christ appeared in the western hemisphere after his death and resurrection,,,”
That is totally a wrong belief on their part,,,Jesus didn’t pop down with the Indians in New England,,,it was actally Mary,,who popped down with the Mexican Indians over by Mexico city! Just ask the Catholics,,
But all kidding aside,,, that theology leaves me shaking my head.
My big problem with Mitt is than neither he, his sons, and no member of his family served in the US Military,,,, all the way back to 1840. During Vietnam, Mitt was a missionary in France. That is no accident. They avoided every draft,, and never volunteered,,, the whole damned lot of em. After I think Mass and RI, Utah has the lowest per capita level of military elistment in the nation. Mitt said his sons serve their country by working to get him elected.
I need no other reason.
They consider Jesus the FIRSTBORN Son of God? Do they cosider Satan the SECONDBORN son of God? I’ve hard they do.
Jesus spoke of “the Comforter” as the Holy Spirit, God in three Personhs, Father Son and Holy Spirit. And Jesus is the Truth, the Way and the Life.
Joseph Smith proclaimed himself the new Mohammad! He took what he wanted from each religion and came up with his own version. Bcause there are levels of Mormonism, Moarmanismon is a secret society!. You don’t know all of it until you get to be a Temple Mormon
Like Islam, and the Koran, there is the LDS and the Book of Mormon. The two differ only in degree of their converting methods. Polygamy is the route to large families.
Are not Mormons told that when they die they become as gods, and each man is given his own planet to rule? That the number of his children deterkines his power?
Mormon is not Christian. At best it can be called a dult.
And we Chhristians are to pray for those who have strayed, and been misled,that they recognize the one true living God Who loves them.
