This is why I actually believe that GOOD for the glory of God will come out of Mitt Romney running for President. First of all, REAL Mormon doctrine (not the milk in the Book of Mormon that the LDS Church doesn't even follow) is being exposed RIGHT HERE and many other places. Many uninformed people are asking "so, what DOES the LDS Church teach?" and they are finding out. Finding out now before the 2 guys in suits knocks on their door can only help to equip them with the truth and help them to avoid falling for the "bait and switch" game the LDS Church plays.
As the unorthodox beliefs of the LDS Church become MAINSTREAM knowledge, they will have a very hard time gaining new converts, except for those born into the Church. Heck, they are already having a very hard time and their growth rate has been dropping dramatically. This will only increase now.
Ultimately, with more of their dirty laundry aired, the LDS Church will have little choice if they continue to desire to be considered a "Christian" church. They will have to continue backing off their doctrines that are in direct contradiction to orthodox Christianity. When you think about it, the LDS Church has been trying to move closer to Christianity ever since getting rid of polygamy. Offering priesthood to blacks is a major example, as is the altering of their temple ceremonies.
The parts of the LDS temple ceremonies that were most offensive to Christians and publicized WERE REMOVED without notice by the LDS Church. The implications for Mormons here is enormous. If the previous temple ceremony was indeed given by God, then the LDS Church had no business changing it. If the ceremony was in error, then that means Joseph Smith was in error when he set it up in the first place. It would also mean that the Christians who were saying "Hey, that is outrageous!" were RIGHT and the LDS Church was WRONG. Again, that would mean Christians have a better knowledge of what God wants in a Mormon temple ceremony than the Mormon Church itself.
Just as the RLDS Church has moved in the direction of becoming a more Christian church, I see the LDS Church doing the same, and Romney's running can only expedite the move, even if indirectly and unintentionally.
I’m not a betting man, but if I were, I’d place a sizable wager against your predictions.
It seem only a few in their own minds here who are anit LDS think that the LDS are not knowledgeable about our Faith.
Those converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints had a witness from the Holy Ghost and it was written in our souls from birth the truth!
Now the many things that the Bible reported and the things MS was reporting did not compute!
That is why we are seekers!
To be honest it never occured to me to look towards the Mormon but I am thankful God did not give up on me!
Eveyone of us who have a testamony knows our Master voice!
All things you fine offensive and have taken our of context or presents in an unfavoable light, is music to our ears!
Everytime the Church is kicked the more coververts we receive because after investigating those who are His fine their way home!
So this election is a good for those seeking the Lord!
Watch this. Its stadard fare. Don’t answer the question they asked, answer the question they should have asked! LOL. They are trained to do this.
