We're talking about Jews today in light of your objection to those who do not have a 'relationship with the true God' being rejected for political office. I believe that is you position anyway.

As I said on my last post, the bare outward adherencies isn't the "heart" point of my eval of candidates...it is indeed their relationship with the Living God.

For example, do you not agree that there are non-Christians who acknowledge the Living God of the Bible -- and occasionally (or at times, more frequently), pray to Him?

You see, there's a HUGE difference 'tween a candidate who relates to a foreign God -- and a Jewish candidate who relates to THE TRUE Living God.

Why is this important for the person in the White House? As I said in my last post: ...a matter of practicing discernment as to which leader is in touch with THE ONLY TRUE GOD—the ONE who will help our nation in a time of crisis or during a dirty bomb scenario like the one the character Jack Bauer & the POTUS of the series “24” went through.

A Jewish POTUS knows who to "dial in to"...He knows which "batphone" connection to use to call during an emergency. A Mormon POTUS? (Not likely; but also keep in mind my last post where I said Mormon candidates could be diverse)

While a "saving-faith" relationship with the True God with be my "druthers" for a POTUS, and would "bump higher" in my estimate of POTUS candidates, it's not the "only thing" I eval in a candidate (see last post).

I guess we're going to have to disagree on whether the 'True Living God' in Christian theology is the same as in Christian theology. For me, if that were the case, the primary difference is dissolved as is the NT and all that occurred as chronicled there. I don't see how we can read the Gospel of John and come to this conclusion.

Anyway..

While a "saving-faith" relationship with the True God with be my "druthers" for a POTUS, and would "bump higher" in my estimate of POTUS candidates, it's not the "only thing" I eval in a candidate (see last post).

I think we are in agreement here and my question of whether membership in LDS alone would disqualify a candidate for you is answered in the negative. Please let me know if my conclusion is in error.

thanks again...

Sorry, major typo in the first sentence of previous reply. Should be:

"I guess we're going to have to disagree on whether the 'True Living God' in Jewish theology is the same as in Christian theology. "
