Daughter of Mormon bishop flays Romney's 'horrific' faith
The daughter of a Mormon bishop who has abandoned her family's faith claims in a new book the election of Mitt Romney to the presidency would put the U.S. in danger due to what she calls the Republican's "outrageous," "horrific" and "mind-controlling" beliefs.
"While he attempts to portray Mormonism as just another Christian religion, Mitt Romney counts on his skills to shift our attention away from what he truly believes," says Tricia Erickson, author of "Can Mitt Romney Serve Two Masters? The Mormon Church Versus the Office of the Presidency of the United States of America."
"If the American people knew what he truly believed, they would surely not place him in the highest office in the land."

Well naturally I believe that Jesus had brothers and sisters. But that does not negate the fact the RCC has always believed in the biblical and historical Virgin Mary. Eventhough Mary had other children besides Jesus it is not wrong to refer to her as the Virgin Mary. The Nicene Creed and the Apostles Creed state the Virgin Mary.

The RCC does not teach that the Virgin Mary and the Saints are gods. I really do not believe that the Sacraments have anything to do with salvation. Mormon Cult does not worship true Jesus, RCC worships true Jesus. Mormon Cult, RCC have nothing in common.

So in the realms of false religions you and the Mormons might have more in common, even though they are distinctly different, than you would like to admit.

Morning WOP, Just a gentle correction, Mormons do indeed say they believe the Bible (KJV) with a disclaimer so enormous 'in so far as it is correctly translated' that you could drive a tractor trailer through.
Kind of like how Roman Catholics say they believe the Bible AND then add their sacred Tradition so they can bring in all sorts of devilish mischief.
And no one should treat the Lord Jesus Christ this way. Everything written of Him in the Law of Moses and the Psalms and the Prophets must be fulfilled and will most certainly be

And both of you all have your special rituals or what is it you call them, Oh! sacraments. And do remember the RCC claims to adore the same god as the Muslims so whatever lip service you all give the Trinity is suspect.
The Apostles and Nicene Creeds which are the Statements Of Faith of the Catholic Church state "WE BELIEVE IN ONE GOD THE FATHER ALMIGHTY. WE BELIEVE IN ONE LORD JESUS CHRIST THE ONLY SON OF GOD. WE BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT THE LORD AND GIVER OF LIFE". Now that is the ONE AND ONLY GOD OF THE BIBLE(THE HOLY TRINITY) that the Catholic Church believes in. The Catholic Church does not believe that the Virgin Mary and the Saints are gods. I do not believe that the Sacraments have anything to do with salvation. I consider the Sacraments to be just church ceremonies dealing with various stages in life.

Oh Henrietta!
I realise you are dead in sin and cannot see anything spiritual, and are lost and undone, and are hellbound through unbelief.
Just for you:
1 Corinthians 1:21-24 KJV 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
You see, H, who gets saved and understands? Check out the last verse above ...... "them which are called".
Now God doesn't "call" everyone, as that verse proves. Now if God never calls you, there will be no understanding in you, no matter how many masses you attend or confessions you go to. This one simple fact should make you to tremble, and realise that your eternal destiny depends WHOLLY on whether God shows grace towards you as an individual or not. Forget your creed, it cannot help you.

Thanks Michael; The reason I asked is because those Mormon sites I put up links for don't seem to agree with these kinds of allegations? I honestly don't know the full Mormon theological teaching but these sites seem to differ with the accusations of some? It all seems a bit strange?
Thurs wrote: Reformed Christians know that we wait for Christ's return and HE will be the "government" from then on.
Does not Christ's exaltation in His rising again from the dead on the third day, in ascending up into heaven, in sitting at the right hand of the Father, and in coming again to judge the world at the last day seem to indicate his present Authority or power? As saith the Scripture Isa. 41:10Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 11Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. That sounds like a promise for the time that now is to me; Christ after all is the right hand of the Father's righteousness on our behalf, and mighty to save to the utter most!

"What verse(s) would you employ to distinguish between the real Jesus of Nazareth and Romney's false Jesus?" What you should have asked is: to distinguish the Jesus Christ of Scripture for all the imitations of men.
Romans 1:1-4 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 1 John 1:1-3; Col.1 and Psalm 2 for starters
But the problem, here is the required gospel utterance and unction that is needed in order to hear. That must be granted. Every man without exception needs to come to the realization that his miseries in this life are due his own sins (original & actual) and that he needs the enlightening knowledge of Christ from the Scripture, the unction that John speaks of, a changed will and an internal, or effectual gospel call. Only those men that God has/will effectually call(ed) are chosen in Christ, the Eternal God, before foundation of the world, will in time participate in the Covenant of Life opened as the only fountain for s

HSY Don't be an (omitted bad word here normally used to discribe individuals of severly limited intelligence or others who choose to act in such a way) as if someone absolutely must have the Nicene Creed or whatever to tell them what God has already told clearer and better in His own words (that would be the Bible people are quite free to read for themselves ) of His Eteranl Incarnate Son the Lord Jesus Christ, the second person of the Triune Godhead.
"I can't clearly define the person of Christ, but I'll know it when I meet someone who knows precisely who He is."
Do you have a secret internal algorithm for defining your Trinitarian and Christological views? If you wrote them down they would become a creed. However, if you did doesn't a creed violate Sola Scriptura?
You seem able to communicate via a form of telepathy so that you know who they are and they know who you are. However, there's nothing written down so anyone considered to be on the outside (e.g., John Yurich) who doesn't share your "secret Bible knowledge," is written off as a damned heretic.
