Mitt Romney at the Western Wall
Posted on 09/04/2012 4:13:35 PM PDT by bruinbirdman
Unlike the party’s 2008 platform, the Democrats 2012 platform does not specifically mention Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and now Mitt Romney is firing back.
“It is unfortunate that the entire Democratic Party has embraced President Obama’s shameful refusal to acknowledge that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital,” Romney said in an e-mail to reporters.
Mitt Romney at the Western Wall
In 2008, the Democratic platform stated: “Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel. The parties have agreed that Jerusalem is a matter for final status negotiations. It should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths.”
Earlier this year, White House Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest stated “the capital [of Israel] is something that should be determined in final status negotiations between the parties. I’d remind you that that’s the position that’s been held by previous administrations, both Democratic and Republican.”
The Jerusalem Embassy Act, which calls for Jerusalem to be recognized as the capital of Israel, was passed by Congress in 1995 but has never been implemented. Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and now Barack Obama have viewed it as a congressional infringement on the executive branch’s constitutional authority over foreign policy.
“Four years of President Obama’s repeated attempts to create distance between the United States and our cherished ally have led the Democratic Party to remove from their platform an unequivocal acknowledgment of a simple reality,” Romney’s statement read on Tuesday. “As president, I will restore our relationship with Israel and stand shoulder to shoulder with our close ally.”
If the Jews want it to be in Jerusalem, so be it. It is their decision, not ours.
Jews have been in Jerusalem for over 3000 years.
This Jew has been conservative (politically) since 1990. I have relatives who think the same. My prediction is American Jews will give only 60% of their votes to Obama this time around. No higher than 65%
...still WAY too high! How can we bring those foolish numbers down?
You said That’s complete nonsense.
It's the Word of God and the heart of the gospel. Romans3:24, 28; 4:16; Galatians 2:26, etc, etc.
You said What you are basically telling me is that a Christian can still be “born again” by denying Jesus Christ.
I never said that. I said that there are many born-again Christians who are deceived but, "He that comes to Me I will in no way cast out" (John 6:37).
So did Bush Jr.
Neither of them did jack squat about it.
So I think this is a non-issue.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Evidently not.
Thank you. That’s what I was trying to say, but from an evangelical Christian perspective. You understand from the inside. We love Israel so much and it was difficult to be with Jewish friends who obviously didn’t care. I said, “ignorant”, and you added “assimilated”. “Assimilated” says so much.
I recall the first time we invited some of the friends for dinner. I researched the subject of Kosher just in case. Then, as it seemed so complicated and I figured I couldn’t do it correctly, I asked, “Do you keep Kosher?” They roared with laughter and requested shrimp.
I studied a bit of the Torah while sitting on a jury a decade ago. Love it.
We'll all look forward to "Tom Hoefling" rolling his out after his inaugeration.
'Sparky".
>>Dude...Matthew 7:1.
What’s the “Reformed Egyptian” translation for that?
Got Discernment?
And good luck on finding the answer to your second question, as odd as it seems.
Are Mormons generally regarded as Christians, and how do their beliefs differ from those of theQ:
Missouri Synod?
A:
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, together with the vast majority of Christian denominations in the United States, does not regard the Mormon church as a Christian church. That is because the official writings of Mormonism deny fundamental teachings of orthodox Christianity. For example, the Nicene Creed confesses the clear biblical truth that Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, is "of one substance with the Father." This central article of the Christian faith is expressly rejected by Mormon teaching- thus undermining the very heart of the scriptural Gospel itself. In a chapter titled "Jesus Christ, the Son of God: Are Mormons Christian?" the president of Brigham Young University (Rex Lee, What DoMormons Believe?
[Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1992] summarizes Mormon teaching by stating that the three persons of the Trinity are "not... one being" (21), but are "separate individuals." In addition, the Father is regarded as having a body "of flesh and bone" (22). Such teaching is contrary to the Holy Scriptures, destructive to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and indicative of the fact that Mormon teaching is not Christian.
