I’m not going to do an analysis of Mormonism vs. Christianity
People applauding him for not stepping in to the argument but examine that statement and you will find that Mr. Cain is, in effect, saying that Mormons are not Christian.
It is what it is. It's about time orthodox Christianity return to the public square. There are too many calling themselves Christians without having a relationship with the Christ that was freely given to us.
I'm will not step into any of this. I already know what I know on this. So I'll just keep my lips zipped.
I could care less whether or not fellow Christians consider Mormons to be “Christian”. I’ve never met one whom I didn’t like and trust.
There is only one religion whose leaders I distrust greatly.
And if they combine that shoddy “religion” of wars and lies with politics, you’ve got a totally untrustworthy combination of bad without equal.
You listenin’, Keith Ellison? May the flies of a thousand pigs come to rest in your belly button.
Well, I am LDS, and I have read the Bible well over a dozen times. I believe it to be the inspired word of God through ancient prophets. What’s so Non-Christian about that?
So Lets see .... according to this bright Theologian .... if Christ chose to call another prophet before his second-coming ... than Christ himself and all the resultant believers would be Non-Christian?
Brilliant! Especially when Revelations prophesies future prophets before the second coming of Christ. This Nut-Job sets up a condition where Christ himself will be a Non-Christian because he will fulfill his prophesies to call future prophets!
Again .... this Guy is a Theological Nut-Job!
Mormonism passed long long ago from a cult to one of the worlds religions. Granted not Christian, but I do not hold it against Mitt Romney, Glenn Beck, or anyone I ever met who is Mormon anymore than I condemn a close Japanese friend of ours that has been Shinto from the day she was born, or even the few Sikhs that live in our neighborhood.
Romney, Cain, Bachmann have all gave very good comments on the issue, but Perry seems to be in hiding.
Perry for the good of the Party needs to be the one leading this right now and put this to rest once and for all. If not, the Democrats will gain Catholic voters, and any Jewish vote we gained because of Obama will be lost.
Maybe you should consider Romney's disgusting and blatant hypocrisy against his own profesed religion rather than whether the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" fits your particular narrow definition of Christianity.
BTW, Moeller is wrong. Mormon theology does NOT state their documents are the last - they believe the head of their church is a prophet - and that God may reveal further prophecy as time goes on.
I'm not saying they're right - but at least let's get our slurs accurate.
As to whether Luther actually said such a thing - or if did, that it wasn’t a good deal more hyperbolic than serious - one is best to read him in context on the subject of muslim government. The treatise, from the year 1529, is entitled, “On War against the Turks” (Vom Kriege wider den Tuerken). It can be found in the American Edition of Luther’s Works, volume 46, pp. 161-205.
That he would prefer to be ruled by a competent and ethical unbeliever rather than an incompetent and unethical Christian is indeed true.
Some Mormons undoubtedly become Christians, and evidently leave the Mormon sect they were members of behind.
Mormons are polytheists, a huge variance from Christianity.
Mormons Jehovah’s WitnessesIn contrast, Monotheistic Groups believe in ONE GOD. These include:
Egyptian Religions at the time of Moses
Canaanite Pantheon of Gods in the OT
Moabites in the OT
Edomites in the OT
Classical Greco-Roman Paganism
Gnosticism
Most Modern Hindus
Judaism
Christianity
It is quite a sight and would certainly give me pause,
if I was claiming to be a Christian and found my religion
sharing its core belief with the other Henotheistic False Religions
of history.
It also raises the question...
Into that henotheistic world of the Old Testament,
God revealed Himself to the Jews and said,
“Hear, O Israel. The Lord Your God is One God.”
This separated GOD from all religions like mormonism.
And yet, here we are 3,400 years later, after full
revelation in the OT and NT, after the death of Christ and
the revelation of the Gospel that can save us...
And mormonism teaches henotheism, in denial of God’s own
words in opposition to henotheism.
One has to ask, "Why?"
You can spend hours arguing with a mormonite about
any of the thousands of things that are unBiblical about
mormonism. As a cultist, the mormonite isn’t interested
in truth - only in validating what his cult has taught him.
To do otherwise would invalidate his existence!
On the other hand, you need go no farther than God’s own
revelation of Himself to Israel 3400 years ago to see that
mormonism’s henotheistic beliefs can not possibly be true.
We need not even consider mormonism’s claim to be the
restoration of the Church. It denies the very God who
gave us a Savior.
It denies the God of the Church.

What would Luther say about being ruled by the current Turk(ey) in the WH?
NY SLIMES causing problems for Republicans, so predictable.
