Voting for Mormon Romney is Betraying Jesus Christ
 
http://www.usachristianministries.co...-jesus-christ/

Jesus Christ loves you. He died a sacrificial death on the cross to forgive your sins. Would you vote for someone who misleads people about Jesus?

As you learn what Mormons believe, you will see Mormons are not Christians. Voting for Mormon Mitt Romney is betraying Jesus Christ our Savior because Romney is not a Christian and opposes Jesus Christ. Do you also know that God warns Americans will be harmed for voting for a Mormon or a non-Christian (2 Chronicles 19:2, Psalm 1)? Look at this Christian versus Mormon analysis:

Five Mormon Cult Errors

1) Mormons Deny God

Jesus Christ is the second Person of the Godhead. Mormons teach Jesus Christ is the spirit brother of Lucifer, a created being.
The Holy Bible is the inerrant Word of God. Mormons use non-Biblical books.
God alone is God. Mormons teach men become Gods and God was once a man.
2) Mormons Preach a Different Gospel
Paul, the apostle, warns, “But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached, let him be accursed” (Galatians 1:9). The book of Mormon was given by an angel.

3) Mormons Hide the Cross
The Holy Bible says, “The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing” (1 Corinthians 1:18). Mormons do not display the cross in their buildings.

4) Mormons Have Occult Practice
Christians trust in Jesus Christ to protect them, and God’s Word gives Christians power over sin. Mormons think “magic” underwear with markings helps them.

5) Mormons are Anti-Christian
Jesus Christ said, whoever believes in Him will be saved (John 3:16). Mormons deny the real Jesus Christ. They are exclusive and teach that Christians are apostate.

If you have believed errors about God, will you repent today? God is just a prayer away. You can draw near to Him now.

Not a pastor in the sense of a state or national controlled religion - totally different than mere Christianity. That was the issue with separation of church and state.

I think we do need to be careful who we vote for - Psa 33:12 "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance."

John Gill says, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,.... Who have an interest in such a wonder working God, both in creation and in providence, and especially in grace: which, though it may have a principal regard to the nation of Israel, whose God he was in a very distinguishing manner, yet must not be limited to them; for he is the God of the Gentiles also:"

It strikes me as particularly interesting that or Founding Father's attested to the fact that this nation was given to us by the hand of Providence. And while America did not have a Christian Founding in the sense of creating a theocracy, its Founding was deeply shaped by Christian moral truths. That is not a state religion, but a universal belief in God Almighty.

I don't consider Mormonism mainstream Christianity. Our country was founded on Judeo/Christian principles.

When I read Article Six of the Constitution - "...but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States", I think back to Thomas Jefferson and remember his quote - "I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature."

When he drafted The Bill for Religious Freedom in 1777, the Anglican Church was officially recognized as the state religion in Virginia. The draft was enacted in 1785, while Jefferson was in Paris, France.

Jefferson was especially hostile to the Catholic Church because of his time spent in France. It is my belief that the "no religious Test shall ever be required as a qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States", refers to a "one" religion, i.e. Catholic or Anglican Church type example. I don't believe it had anything to with religious views outside of Christianity. It just doesn't make sense as colleges and school text were based on the Bible.

The Virginia Act For Establishing Religious Freedom
Thomas Jefferson, 1786

"Well aware that Almighty God hath created the mind free; that all attempts to influence it by temporal punishments or burdens, or by civil incapacitations, tend only to beget habits of hypocrisy and meanness, and are a departure from the plan of the Holy Author of our religion, who being Lord both of body and mind, yet chose not to propagate it by coercions on either, as was in his Almighty power to do; that the impious presumption of legislators and rulers, civil as well as ecclesiastical, who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others,..."

The three writers of the Federalist Papers claim their Christian heritage and beliefs.

John Jay spoke of his Christian faith. Jay shared an experience he had, in France, with some atheists. ""On one occasion I was at a party with several atheists. They spoke freely and contemptuously of religion. During the course of it, one of them asked me if I believed in Christ. I answered that I did, and that I thanked God that I did. Nothing further passed between me and them or any of them on that subject."

Before Alexander Hamilton died, he had plans to establish an organization that would preserve the basic values of Christianity and the Constitution. He was going to call the organization - The Christian Constitutional Society.

James Madison was a seminary student. He studied under Rev. John Witherspoon.

When these men studied law, they studied it from the premise of a higher law which all human law must conform. They studied Blackstone who stressed a higher law in God.

So, back to what I believe they were saying is based on their experiences with religion in France and England, they had a very poor opinion of orthodox Christianity. For instance, the founders of Massachusetts Bay and Connecticut instituted religious establishments—arrangements by which the civil government favored one church and penalized anyone who dissented from its teachings.

Giving the reigns of this country to any person, regardless, of their religious beliefs is a dangerous move, IMO.

Many of the founding fathers of this country were "religious" men and held to the idea of a state religion like the Anglican Church of England. Others were religious men who held views different than the Anglican Church and had been persecuted by the state church and did not want to go back into something like that. Others were criminals wanting a new start and some who indentured themselves as servants/slaves to get a new life in the new world.

The "religious" or "Christian" folks soon displayed their style of Christianity by:
--persecuting Roger Williams because he believed in baptism by immersion and had to flee to Rhode Island and establish a new colony.
--the Salem witch trials
--the doctrine of Manifest Destiny" i.e. the idea that God created this new world for WASP's (White Anglo Saxon Protestants) and it was our divine duty to kill off all the Native Americans and send them to hell through policies of genocide and ethnic cleansing.

The first century church was persecuted by the government but was admonished to pray for their leaders. The 21st century church often preaches a doctrine of establishing some kind of a theocracy and forcing their religious/moral/ethical laws on everyone regardless of their religion or lack of religion.

Let me ask all of the deep thinkers that are not voting for Romney, because he is Mormon, a question.
Have you ever, ever, voted for a non-Christian before?
If you have and you are now using this as a reason to not vote for Romney, you are not consistent.
I would consider you hypocritical.
If you only vote for "Christians", then how do you determine that?
If you are oneness, do you vote for trinitarians?
Is that not the same thing?

When you make your litmus test to be only voting for those who believe as you do, you make your choices really small.
Provided you are being consistent.

PO - it is interesting that you quote Jefferson.
Since part of why you are not voting for Romney is his religion, let me ask you if you would vote for Jefferson?
Jefferson was a virtual apostate, who denied the virgin birth, denied any of the miracles performed by Jesus and denied the resurrection.
Even so, he was a great patriot, President and visonary.
