Mormon Bishop Mitt Romney’s Anti-Christian Religion

And you are betting your eternal soul that you are right?

“The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that's the way to bet.”

“I don’t like Mitt Romney, but this article has nothing to do with it. He didn’t force the residents of Massachusetts to join the Mormon Church when he was Governor.”

You have a point there. In fact he sent them further to hell by promoting the homo agenda and abortion.

I didn’t mention the ‘’ethnic cleansing’’ by slaughtering gnostics all over the place and the book bannings and burnings to ensure only the proper and useful writings and gospels were included in the Rome New Testament.

Did you know that certain books, praised and used for decades by MORMON faithful; have now become rejected?

It is rare to hear of a Mormon scandal of any kind.

Sounds like you've been listening to the right stuff!

What these silly people dont seem to understand is we have a closet muslim in power now and thats much worse than mormons. If you dont submit to Islam you are subject to be put to death. They call christians and jews monkeys and cattle to be slaughtered. Yeah I know which on is worse and Ive seen the damned barbarians kill wholesale in Iraq in their POS moon god worshiping ways. What religion is constantly chanting death to america and death to israel. I think we all know. Taqqiya or Jizya anyone...ABO.

You are still prattling on with the bigoted crap I see

Nobody reads the multocolored crap you post

We live in America not some totalitarian Christian state.

My objection is to the strident, bigoted self righteousness here that masks a political view.

I want them to know there is at least one rational minded person on Free Republic that objects to Mormonphobe harangues.

“Won’t it be tragic when MORMONs find out their ‘prophets’ had LIED to them?”

Oh, no...their prophets are all perfect...it’s just that the records of their prophecies were translated incorrectly...

I don’t want some lemming in America to be sucked into the dead end of Mormonism because of one being POTUS.

It would be bad enough if it stopped there but mormonism has thousands of "missionaries" all over the world - including Paris, France, where Myth evaded the draft during the Viet Nam era.

The "missionaries will have a new and persuasive (to many) talking point, "just look, the President of the United States is a Mormon, it must be alright".

Mormons do that too, but at least they have been able to keep their religion running for more than the career of one preacher.

Mr. Millet:

I don't think we can ever transcend Joseph Smith or consider him to be a valued personality, but now we'll move on.

I don't think you'll see that among believers in the faith, because there are too many other things that came from him

that are the reasons why we do what we do and we are what we are. That there are unanswered questions, to be sure.

That there are things that I'm as anxious as the next guy to learn more detail on, I really want to know. But in the interim,

it really doesn't, doesn't trouble me.

We're in the religion-making business, as you intimated earlier, only for a short time, I mean, compared to the

Christian church, which has been at this for a couple of millennia. We're about halfway to Nicaea.

And so, and so in that sense — I remember a very tender moment. I was speaking with — I've been invited

to the Salt Lake Theological Seminary, basically an Evangelical seminary, to discuss a book I had done on Jesus.

And they had read it, and they wanted me to come and just respond to questions.

And it was, it was a very enjoyable couple of hours.

The very last question that was asked by one of my friends there was this one.

He said, 'Bob, what can we do for you?'

And I, I wasn't ready for that question. I said, 'What do you mean?'

He said, 'What can we, as Evangelicals, do for our Mormon friends?'

And I, I guess my mind could have gone a hundred different ways, but what I came back with was this.

I said, 'Boy, I appreciate you asking that. I don't think I've ever been asked that.'

But, but I said, 'Try this. Cut us a little slack, will you? Give us a little time.

We're in the religion-making business, and this takes time. It takes centuries.

And, and trying to explain the faith and articulate the faith, that doesn't come over night.

We've really only been about that for 20 or 30 years.'

Oh, no...their prophets are all perfect...it’s just that the records of their prophecies were translated incorrectly...

In conclusion let us summarize this grand key, these “Fourteen Fundamentals in Following the Prophet”, for our salvation depends on them.

1. The prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything.
2. The living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works.
3. The living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet.
4. The prophet will never lead the church astray.
5. The prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on any subject or act on any matter at any time.
6. The prophet does not have to say “Thus Saith the Lord,” to give us scripture.
7. The prophet tells us what we need to know, not always what we want to know.
8. The prophet is not limited by men’s reasoning.
9. The prophet can receive revelation on any matter, temporal or spiritual.
10. The prophet may advise on civic matters.
11. The two groups who have the greatest difficulty in following the prophet are the proud who are learned and the proud who are rich.
12. The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly.
13. The prophet and his counselors make up the First Presidency—the highest quorum in the Church.
14. The prophet and the presidency—the living prophet and the First Presidency—follow them and be blessed—reject them and suffer.

I testify that these fourteen fundamentals in following the living prophet are true. If we want to know how well we stand with the Lord then let us ask ourselves how well we stand with His mortal captain—how close do our lives harmonize with the Lord’s anointed—the living Prophet—President of the Church, and with the Quorum of the First Presidency.

You can scream until you are blue in the face it doesnt matter. Obama is a communist racist muslim period. No way is Romney worse, but thats a bad thing to say here. I dont think you understand, you aren’t changing anyone’s minds that want communist muslim Obama out at all costs. Waiting for the graphics, charts, and damnations to hell from certain “free thinkers” of how bad ABO folks are. Getting tiresome and childish to be honest. We have enter looney toon land. Moonbats arent only for the DEMs anymore with all the Obama support around here. :D
