LYNCHBURG, Va. Evangelical leaders praised Mitt Romneys speech today at Liberty University, saying that the Mormon candidate was right to acknowledge his religious differences with other Christian voters.
It was an acknowledgment that the issues that social conservatives and evangelicals care about are important issues to Gov. Romney and as he sees them [as] part of a successful economic platform for the country, said Family Research Council President Tony Perkins.
Perkins added that there wasnt anything the presumptive GOP presidential nominee who many evangelical voters regarded with skepticism during the primary while backing Rick Santorum should have done differently. And he pointed to the huge opportunity created for Romney by President Barack Obamas endorsement of same-sex marriage this week (Romney opposes gay marriage).
I think he touched on the key issues that are important to social conservatives. He mentioned Rick Santorum and Ricks emphasis and the need to have the family and the ties to economic success. (See also: 10 essential facts about Liberty U.)
Regarding Romneys acknowledgement that Mormonism differs from other Christian faiths in certain ways, Perkins said the candidate was correct to tackle the issue.
That was what he needed to do, was to acknowledge that there are theological differences between him and evangelicals, Perkins said.

tually, your post 73 is the weakest point of your argument, almost to the point of being offensively obtuse. Neither Scientologists nor Hindus acknowledge Christ as their Savior, Mormons do.
Did Ansel REALLY say thaT???
Well, you can start with the link I posted back up the thread.

Not the CHRIST as described in the BIBLE; but the christ as described by the religious organization based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Let's cut the bullcrap!
MORMONs!!
Does your 'christ' cover ALL human sins (other than blasphemy against the Holy Ghost) or not??
PLEASE!
Do NOT offend the MORMONs with descriptions like this any more!
FR needs their money DESPARATELY or it will have to fold!
By the way, anything you can see has to be only a tiny tip of a huge iceberg. For example, the $10 million anonymous donation that was given to Karl Rove’s 501c4 late last year.
God only knows who has benefited from the largesse of Romney’s very wealthy supporters like Mark DeMoss and others.
They got a candidate?
We are vetting the heresy called MORMONism.
Want to join the conversation or drag red herrings across the path?
I wonder why they choose NOT to vent their spleen in full view of the world?
Psalm 2:1
Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?
Too late: too old.
All one needs to do is read the beginning verses of Matthew and then read Romans Chapter 1 to see the signs of the times. If you read those, you will immediately see that exactly what was predicted in those scriptures are happening right this very minutes on this planet. That shows me that He is alive and that He is soon to return. Those lost, such as Mormons and any others that have rejected His free offer of grace, will be rejected at the Great White Throne of Judgment. I offer these opinions of the scriptures in an attempt to get people to think. Then it is the Holy Spirit's job to convict them. We humans cannot do that. What Mormons and those other non-believers believe are only going to transmit their souls to hell. The scriptures say that, not me. Good day to you and God bless.

Many (most?) in MORMONism would NEVER make a claim like THAT!!!
They succeeded in killing Joseph, but he had finished his work.He was a servant of God, and gave us the Book of Mormon.He said the Bible was right in the main, but, through the translators and others, many precious portions were suppressed, and several other portions were wrongly translated; and now his testimony is in force, for he has sealed it with his blood.As I have frequently told them, no man in this dispensation will enter the courts of heaven, without the approbation of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jun.Who has made this so?Have I?Have this people?Have the world?No; but the Lord Jehovah has decreed it.If I ever pass into the heavenly courts, it will be by the consent of the Prophet Joseph.If you ever pass through the gates into the Holy City, you will do so upon his certificate that you are worthy to pass.Can you pass without his inspection?No; neither can any person in this dispensation, which is the dispensation of the fulness of times.In this generation, and in all the generations that are to come, everyone will have to undergo the scrutiny of this Prophet.They say that they killed Joseph, and they will yet come with their hats under their arms and bend to him; but what good will it do them, unless they repent?They can come in a certain way and find favor, but will they?

Oh?
I merely showed where reference to a GOD was supported by historical facts.
From your response I had assumed (I know...) that you were going to come on to the revisionist 'fact' that this is NOT a 'christian' nation.
I may have misjudged your intentions.
Here is the proof that Romney has been pouring money into the Republican satellite conservative organizations since before the last presidential election.
All of these links are from the last election cycle, 2008.

Indeed, that marriage idea was a BIG concern for the ones who split off from the fearful bunch that fled to SLC. (Didja ever wonder why THEY weren't SLAUGHTERED!!! by them nasty Missourians?)
Not only WAS a 'foundation' for Utah MORMONism, but it is STILL on the books: their 'holy' scripture!
It would scare the HELL out of me if I were an SLC mormon; after reading what Prophet #2 had to say about it!
"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned;
and I will go still further and say, take this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord has given,
and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.
Brigham Young - JoD 3:266 (July 14, 1855)
By GOD!!
That seals it for me!!
AMERICA!!!!
Vote for the Deceived MORMON!!!
Good Question!!
It is obvious to me, that you have very little knowledge of how MORMONism describes 'christ'.
I'm sure by tomorrow (gotta be nice to MOM today) others will be on/in this thread, with quite graphic descriptions that I can only allude to right now.
