Mitt Romney Calls Southern Baptist Pastor Robert Jeffress a "Religious Bigot"
Todd Starnes ^ | May 13, 2016 | Todd Starnes

Failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney issued a vicious statement condemning Dr. Robert Jeffress, one of the nation’s most prominent evangelical ministers and a spiritual adviser to President Trump.

[Snip]

"Robert Jeffress says 'you can't be saved by being a Jew,' and 'Mormonism is a heresy from the pit of hell,'" Romney wrote on Twitter. "He's said the same about Islam. Such a religious bigot should not be giving the prayer that opens the United States Embassy in Jerusalem."

[Snip]

Jeffress, who is a regular guest on my nationally-syndicated radio show, was stunned by Romney's ugly remarks.

"Historical Christianity has taught for 2,000 years that salvation is through faith alone in Jesus Christ," Jeffress said. "The fact that I, along with millions of evangelical Christians around the world, espouse that belief is neither bigoted or newsworthy."

I don’t think Romney knows what “bigot” actually means. When your opinion is based on solid fact, you are not a bigot.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

I guess Mitt would have to label Jesus as a *religious bigot*, too.

That’s because Mormonism doesn’t teach basic Christianity, it perverts it.

Romney is a spoiled blue blood with a board up his azz.

HE HAS NO INTEREST IN BEING A SENATOR...

He merely wants a megaphone to denounce Trump and conservatives, knowing the Media needs a McCain replacement after he expires.

Utah still has a chance to keep this designated loser RINO out of the Senate. Get state rep Mike Kennedy elected instead in the primary this June.

In other words, all orthodox believing Christians are religious bigots.

I guess Mitt hasn’t figured out Satan is the tolerant one.

“Oh, no”, my pastor said. “You’re certainly going to Hell, because you’re not Christians.”

Now wait just a minute. First of all, it's called "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints".

Do Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God? If the answer is "yes", then they could—at least theoretically—be considered Christians...

John 14:6: Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.

Was Jesus a bigot, too, Mitt wit?

Can’t and would not argue with you at all.

Mittens IS part of the problem and not at all part of the solution.

Mormons don't believe in Jesus as the Bible describes Him.

Mormons believe all its believers can become a Jesus and have Jesus-like power.

Will anyone on the left call this hatful speech?

Anyone that hasn’t done should study the Book of Abraham and see how Joseph’s Myth.. I mean Joseph Smith.. Claimed that Abraham wrote it, but it’s actually an Egyptian funeral document. I have shared that with Mormons at my door and they were unaware of it. They never come back, but I hope it stays on their minds.

“I believe I’ve read that Romney is an Elder in the Mormon Church. I would like someone to ask him his churches position on Christianity....”

i found this:

“Summarized here, the Articles of Faith state Mormon beliefs:

1. We believe in God the Father; His Son, Jesus Christ; and the Holy Ghost.

2. That men will be punished only for their own sins and not for Adam’s transgression.

3. That through Christ’s Atonement, we can be saved by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel.

4. That faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism by immersion, confirmation, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost are all necessary for salvation.

......

11. In worshipping God according to our own dictates and allowing others to do likewise.”

The mormons and muslims can have a debate about which leader got the corrected proofs of the Bible.

Does Utah really want a guy who thinks it’s smart to antagonize the Christian population of the US over perceived slights? Mitt is bringing up old disputes with this guy to distract from the glory of the opening of a US Embassy in Israel’s ancient capital. I hope this hurts, not helps, Mitt in Utah, that Mormons aren’t into identity politics like some minority that can be led by the nose.
