Mitt Romney is a Mormon and I am a Baptist: Get Over It!

North Star Writers Group ^ | October 29, 2007 | Herman Cain

[Invisigoth]

The Baptists, Methodists, Catholics, Lutherans, Pentecostals, Mormons and a few other faiths have three things in common – they believe in Jesus Christ, that He is the Son of God and that He died and was resurrected for our sins.

So what’s the problem?

The political pundits continue to try and make Mitt Romney’s religious beliefs a big issue as he runs for the Republican presidential nomination. Different denominations of Christianity are just that – different denominations – which means different worship practices of the same fundamental Christian beliefs.

Some people have commented that they cannot support Mitt Romney because he is a Mormon. When they are pressed to explain why that is objectionable, they stutter. Still others are skeptical of Mitt Romney based solely on hearsay or lack of knowledge about Mormons.

[Elsie]

The rest is so distorted as to be unrecognizable to a Mormon in good standing.

Why the qualifier??

[Elsie]

Ok, I did the hard part: using Google®!

Caiaph . . . er, MHG, I know from your posting history that understanding the difference between ad hominem attacks and actual expression and exchange of ideas are hard to understand...

...so just look at the front of this sentence to see an example of the first.

[Elsie]

...the BoM was clear that there were times it was apporved and times it was forbidden.

 

Oh???

 

 

This seems a bit strange, for GOD to call it an ABOMINATION, and then to COMMAND it later!!

THE BOOK OF JACOB
THE BROTHER OF NEPHI

CHAPTER 2

 

  24 Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.
  25 Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, I have led this people forth out of the land of Jerusalem, by the power of mine arm, that I might raise up unto me a righteous branch from the fruit of the loins of Joseph.
  26 Wherefore, I the Lord God will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old.
  27 Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none;
  28 For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts.
  29 Wherefore, this people shall keep my commandments, saith the Lord of Hosts, or cursed be the land for their sakes.
  30 For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up seed unto me, I will command my people; otherwise they shall hearken unto these things.
  31 For behold, I, the Lord, have seen the sorrow, and heard the mourning of the daughters of my people in the land of Jerusalem, yea, and in all the lands of my people, because of the wickedness and abominations of their husbands.
  32 And I will not suffer, saith the Lord of Hosts, that the cries of the fair daughters of this people, which I have led out of the land of Jerusalem, shall come up unto me against the men of my people, saith the Lord of Hosts.

their=there for the spelling nazis

When I am talking; no one can tell if I misspell a word or not.

[Elsie]

I guess WAS teaching would be ok then??

[Elsie]

Stuff like that happens to me at times as well - no problem.

[Elsie]

...but usually they include casseroles.

(Or drinking... ;^)

[Elsie]

Dang!

Ranting and attacking and POOF!!

453 & 454 vanish!

[Elsie]

SEC. 201 All persons shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, and privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, as defined in this section, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, or national origin

Nose picking or farting in elevators appears to be ok to discrimate against.

[Elsie]

Romney has solid leads in several key battleground states, including New Hampshire, Iowa, now South Carolina.

And the National Election is over a year away!

[Elsie]

Even if such a study exists, it still wouldn’t establish a cause/effect relationship.

You admit that NO data would convince you otherwise?

[Elsie]

That’s okay. My work is done. It’s been a pleasure exposing your “lying for the Lord.” Have a good night.

 

Alrighty then!!

THE

DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS

OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

SECTION 71

Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon, at Hiram, Ohio, December 1, 1831. HC 1: 238–239. The Prophet had continued to translate the Bible with Sidney Rigdon as his scribe until this revelation was received, at which time it was temporarily laid aside so as to enable them to fulfill the instruction given herein. The brethren were to go forth to preach in order to allay the unfriendly feelings that had developed against the Church as a result of the publication of some newspaper articles by Ezra Booth, who had apostatized.

1–4, Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon are sent forth to proclaim the gospel; 5–11, Enemies of the saints shall be confounded.

 

1 Behold, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, that the time has verily come that it is necessary and expedient in me that you should open your mouths in proclaiming my gospel, the things of the kingdom, expounding the mysteries thereof out of the scriptures, according to that portion of Spirit and power which shall be given unto you, even as I will.

2 Verily I say unto you, proclaim unto the world in the regions round about, and in the church also, for the space of a season, even until it shall be made known unto you.

3 Verily this is a mission for a season, which I give unto you.

4 Wherefore, labor ye in my vineyard. Call upon the inhabitants of the earth, and bear record, and prepare the way for the commandments and revelations which are to come.

5 Now, behold this is wisdom; whoso readeth, let him understand and receive also;

6 For unto him that receiveth it shall be given more abundantly, even power.

7 Wherefore, confound your enemies; call upon them to meet you both in public and in private; and inasmuch as ye are faithful their shame shall be made manifest.

8 Wherefore, let them bring forth their strong reasons against the Lord.

9 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you—there is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper;

10 And if any man lift his voice against you he shall be confounded in mine own due time.

11 Wherefore, keep my commandments; they are true and faithful. Even so. Amen.

[Elsie]

To which I said, "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off.

Like them FUNDAMENTALISTS in ColoCity!

[Elsie]

I just don't like anyone to be judged based solely on their religion.

Me neither!

[greyfoxx39]

Catching up on thread hijacking and topic misdirection by personal attacking done by “nicest people in the world” placemark.

[Edit35]

And the National Election is over a year away!

True enough.

All things considered, I'd rather be in the lead in several states than behind.

Momentum plays a bigger part in these campaigns than issue-papers, I believe.

Also, personality plays a HUGE part in whether someone 'likes' and will support candidate X.

Mark Willes - LA Times, and Times Mirror CEO. The Times is Anti-mormon? My left foot!

He is Gordon B. Hinkleys nephew, and LDS to boot. Too bad he was forced to quit and retire to Hawaii to run the Polynesian Cultural Center.

“Article on questionable management style of Mark H Willes, Times Mirror Co’s chief executive and self-appointed publisher of Los Angeles Times, in light of Tribune Co’s acquisition of Times Mirror; says during Willes’s tenure, executives came and went with alarming regularity as well as strategies; says newspapers were closed, businesses sold, hundreds of employees laid off and costs cut, leaving trail of bitter bystanders;”

[DelphiUser]

I Said: I know good from evil, if that is what you mean, and that is what satan promised.

You Said: Again; you fail to comprehend what you've just read!

That is NOT what the devil promised!

"YOU WILL BE LIKE GOD" is what he promised.

I comprehend completely, I just don't stop reading when you did.
Are you afraid of redign the whole scripture?
Are you saying the Bible cannot be red literally?
Here, let me try again, this time, I'll put the lie in Red and the true statement in Blue.
Genesis 3:4&5

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Now, we know the blue was a true statement becasue God (who is a God of truth, and Cannot lie) sayd in Verse:
Genesis 3:22

22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

Now you can argue all you want, but there it is clear as day, plain as the nose on your face, Satan says in blue what will happen, and God says it happened. Like I said before, you can't eve rely on satan to lie because he will tell you a truth (the part in Blue) to get you to believe his lie (the part in red).

If satan alweays lied, then all we would have to do isthe opposite of what he tells us, anf that would be just too easy. What we need to do is listen to God. Elsie, why don't you and I both pray about this? I'm willing if you are.

Yes, Mitt Romney certainly is equal to the likes of Iran & Hamas. Yessir. Uh huh. *eyeroll*
