Mormonism is not Christian. However the Bible does play into their beliefs. The Book or Moromon supercedes the Bible. Having said that,

I see MORE BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES in Mitt Romney

than Mc Shamnest and the Huckster combined and they

CLAIM to be Christians.

We will proudly cast our vote for Mitt Romney.

As a Christain, unlike Mike Huckabee, we believe prayer has power and that even MORMON, Mitt can turn around and be a Christian by label and REALLY MEAN IT. Mitt certainly LIVES Biblical Principles, now we want him to turn ONLY to the Bible.

Yes. [And let those who try to argue this point then simultaneously tell us that fundamentalist polygamist Mormons are also "Mormon"]

Yes & no. While the Bible is the lowest book on their doctrinal totem pole (and BTW, I'm referencing how each individual LDS looks at the Bible...that varies), the Book of Mormon has about 40 or so key tenets of their faith that's not found there. (That can be a surprise even to Mormons themselves...because their primary doctrinal book repeatedly claims that the Book of Mormon is "the fulness of the everlasting gospel" and it's the Book of Mormon that serves as the "front" for the LDS missionary to get someone to pray about. So, really the Book of Mormon actually plays into their beliefs much less than you would think...nothing in there about a "pre-existence" we had before this earth...about "families are forever"...about many gods...about God having a body of flesh & bones...about becoming a god...about God once being a man...being married for eternity...about 3 degrees of "glory"...about second-chances to accept the gospel post death...about baptizing dead folks...temple rituals...

How about these as key "Biblical Principles" we don't see in true believing Mormons:

(1) You can't become a god.

(2) Telling others they can just repeats the unTruth from the Serpent & Lucifer found in Genesis 3:5 & Isaiah 14:12-16

(3) You're not a literal "savior" of this world (their language not mine) 'cause you baptize dead folks by proxy

(4) Telling others that they have an "out" for spiritual procrastination ("Oh, you'll be offered a second chance at receiving the gospel after you die")

(5) Tithing to pay for the translation & worldwide distribution of the Pearl of Great Price LDS "scriptures" which says ALL Christian sects are "wrong" and their creeds are ALL an "abomination" in [God's] "sight" and ALL their professing believers "corrupt" [see Joseph Smith - History, verses 18-19]

(6) That you shouldn't directly pray to Jesus or worship Him as you would the Father

(7) That grace saves you only "after all you can do" (2 Nephi 25:23, Book of Mormon)

(8) That we need to focus heavily on the dead (billions of man-hours on geneologies & temple rituals related to the dead) that distract us from the living

None of those are "biblical" values
