You said — “Not that I’m basing my political support or lack thereof on that. My problem with Romney is his Massachusetts liberalism.”
Yes, I understand that, and that’s the case for many people, too. I know that. And, that’s fine for them. I don’t complain if they handle their politics that way.
I just wanted to make clear to people, in general, that the Mormon teaching and doctrines are *definitely* not the same as the basic, historic and foundational Christian doctrines — even though the Mormon Church has launched a long-term “PR campaign” trying to fool a lot of people into thinking that they are actually teaching Christianity.
They actually are not, and the members of that church know that, too — despite their protestations that they “are Christian”. They know that their teachings and doctrines don’t match basic, historic and foundational Christianity. They simply don’t want to admit it to the public.
However, you can very easily “get the clue” to that fact, when the Mormons go on to say that *they* have the “restored faith” (of the Christian church, supposedly) and that what Christians actually believe (today) is corrupted and “not the true Christianity”. Just by saying that, they’re pretty well admitting to the fact that they don’t teach the same doctrines as the Christian church. They go on to say that Christians of today are “teaching the doctrines of man” as opposed to their (supposedly) “pure doctrines” and their “modern-day prophets” who still give continuing “revelations” (authoritative revelations, supposedly) from God — while Christians say that the Bible is the full and complete Word of God (and that there are no further revelations for the Bible, as the canon of Scripture. The Mormons go on to bring forth their supposed “authoritative scriptures” (supposedly from a “prophet” — Joseph Smith) who is supposed to have received it from an angel.
It goes on and on and on — and the more the Mormons say (and “open their mouths”) the more they contradict the fact that they are *not teaching Christianity* but the radically different teachings and doctrines of their particular “brand of religion”.
They speak out of both sides of their mouths at the same time, saying “We are Christians” and then saying, “But, we have the ‘restored and true Gospel’, as the Christians of today, don’t”. LOL!
It’s amazing that they can say, “We’re really Christians” even though we teach something radically different and totally unrecognizable as Christianity. I mean, *don’t they get it*??!! It’s totally different. That’s why they’re classified as a “non-Christian cult group” — according to the definition of all current-day Christian groups.
They’re obviously not being honest with the whole thing.
AND, if they’re not being honest (obviously so...) about their teachings and doctrines, and Romney “buys into that dishonesty” in terms of his religion, then why do I want a President who cannot even be honest about his faith and beliefs (as it’s taught by the Mormon church) and still maintain that “they’re teaching Christian doctrines”. I simply don’t want a President who can’t be honest enough to admit that they’re not teaching basic, historic and foundational Christianity. PLUS, the fact that I don’t want a President who is not a Christian.
And so, yes, for those people who don’t want to go into the religious aspects of the matter of the Mormon Church being a “non-Christian cult group” — yes, there’s ample information about how liberal Romney is, enough so to make Hillary look like a conservative, next to him... LOL!
I saw someone who posted this link (here on Free Republic). It’s very interesting. It’s called “The Mitt Romney Deception”...
http://massresistance.org/docs/marriage/romney/record/
And then, someone else here posted another website which supposedly contradicted these things (as posted in the above website).
When I saw the address of that other website, I just about fell out of my chair, laughing my head off... LOL!
It was called something like “Evangelicals for Mitt” — the “translation” meaning — “Evangelicals for a non-Christian cult-group-member”... yeah..., like “really” — a bunch of so-called “Evangelicals” (think about *who* they are, in terms of their “name”) — are going to be *for* a “non-Christian cult-group-member”. That’s a real “you’ve got to be kidding” moment. That’s the *very opposite* of what Evangelicals stand for — and they are going to be “for” Romney.... Those “fools” (who put together that website) must think the “casual person on the street” is a downright idiot... LOL!

Keep repeating it enough, maybe someone will buy it. Not here. Not me.
