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.”
“Assuming for a moment that the view “Mormons are not Christians” depicts the truth, why would a Muslim be better than a Mormon for the White House?”
I did not even slightly suggest a Muzzie was better than a Mormon, or that a Muzzie was better than a LDS. I just bristled at you injecting the claim that Mormons are Christian in a response to someone writing “Romney is a Mormon. Obama is a Muslim. Remember that November!” You might as well ask me to explain how baseball is more American than soccer or some other random you know what.
I will not, for the sake of politics, lie about what I know is the truth.
Don’t get your panties in a twist, it was just a question.
The Mormon religion is a cult and is very deceptive. There are many deceived born-again Christians in this world. God knows and loves his own, even the hurting, deceived ones, and they are destined for Heaven (by grace, not by works). None of us have it perfectly right. Some of us are further off than others, but “God is able to make them stand.”
Y O U. ARE WRONG...
CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS (lds)
4TH LARGEST Christian denomination in the United States.
“There’s a lot of born-again Christians in this world who are nevertheless deceived. None of us have got it all right. And some are way off. But, “He that comes to Me I will in no way cast him out.” The blood of Jesus is effectual to cover all our sins and errors and to “save to the uttermost.””
If a “deceived” born again Christian, of which there are millions, nevertheless believes in Jesus Christ, they are saved. Mormons deny the Jesus of the Bible and replace Him with an absurd, blasphemous counterpart that not only did not die to save them, but is just another “spirit brother” pointing the way to a lifetime of secret handshakes and temple rituals that MIGHT get you in to the celestial heaven where you can become a god. If you’re a woman, well, you better hope you’re married to a Mormon. There’s no individual path to heaven for you outside of that! And if you FAIL as a man, well, you’ll get into one of the lesser heavens where you can’t become a god. No Mormon who believes Mormon theology can ever get into heaven.
Only “you” and whatever denomination you belong to are real Christians, the rest are fakes, frauds and posers. Got it. Judgment is someone elses job, not yours.
mromonism is not a Christian denomination, they are anti-Christianity.
Romney is an (imitation) Christian.
Obama is a Muslim masquerading as a Christian.
Remember this on Nov. 6th.
There, fixed it!
14.4 MILLION AMERICANS
I do not belong to a denomination, I belong to the Body of Christ.
mormonism is not Christianity.
Christians are commanded to call out false prophets and teachings.
We are to judge everything against the Word of God.
If you have a problem with that take it up with God.
“Y O U. ARE WRONG...”
Y O U U S E U N N E C C E S S A R Y CAPS L O C K AND SPACING IN W O R D S.
Sounds like your panties are the ones twisted...

How about you try learning what Mormonism even is before you post these vacuous things?
Tell me, do you even know who the second prophet of the LDS is?
How about you tell me what the Mormons teach on Jesus Christ and salvation?
thats your opinion...
And that means what?
There are 14 mil world wide not in the US.
There are about 6 mil in the US.
And what that really means is that 14 mil people have been deceived.
“Sounds like your panties are the ones twisted...
are you a Ron Paul supporter?
just wondering....”
Do you use Alinsky tactics just for fun, or do you get a check in the mail from the LDS?
