Mitt Romney:
Mormonism Exposed
PHOENIX (By Jon Garrido,
Blue Dogs) December 20, 2006, re-published December 6, 2007 — In late October, departing Massachusetts Gov.
Mitt Romney huddled with a godly group. Gathered in his kitchen were 15 of the
country's leading evangelicals, including giants like Jerry Falwell, Franklin
Graham and Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention. They'd come to quiz
Romney on his faith. Why on earth should they support Romney, a Mormon, in his
presidential candidacy in 2008? Richard Lee, a Baptist minister from Cumming,
Ga., got to the heart of the matter. What did Romney really believe
about Jesus Christ? Romney didn't hesitate. "When I say Jesus Christ is my Lord
and savior, I realize that means something different to you than it does to me,"
he admitted. But he urged them to remember their shared beliefs: the faith that
Christ was born of a virgin, was crucified and rose after three days. The
ministers were pleased.
Romney, an unannounced
but eager candidate for the Republican nomination, is hoping other evangelicals
will have trouble telling the difference. With the Iowa caucuses only a year
away, he is working tirelessly for the support of Christian conservatives. In
another year, this might be a futile quest given many evangelicals' conviction
that Mormonism is a heretical cult. Christians believe anyone who believes they
too can become God is Satanic. Unlike evangelicals, Mormons believe Jesus
appeared in America after his resurrection and God himself was once a man.
Mormons all believe
Jesus Christ is the son of God. This they profess to the world thus making them
similar to all religions who believe in Jesus Christ.
This expression of believing in Jesus on the surface does not expose
what lies beneath the surface. From the beginning, Mormons have used half truths
to evangelize the world. Mormons claim they believe Jesus is the son of God but
what they fail to add — Mormons believe God has many sons. In fact, any Mormon
who leads a life on earth adhering to the teachings of Mormonism can achieve
becoming a son of God just exactly as Jesus did on planet Earth. Mormons believe
when they die, they too can be elevated to Celestial Heaven and become a son of
God on another planet. In essence they become Tom Christ, Frank Christ, James
Christ exactly as Jesus Christ became the son of God on Earth. This belief in Jesus is
a half truth that on examination reveals Mormons can become God just like Jesus
Christ.
Mormons further believe
their birth, as other births on planet Earth, are of a man and woman but herein is
the crux of deceiving the truth by using a lie.
Christians such as
Catholics, Baptists, Evangelicals, Episcopalians and other religions believe
Jesus is the only son of God that was given life by the Holy Spirit using Mary
in a virgin birth that brought about the birth of Jesus as the only son of God.
Mormons believe their
natural process of being born was brought about a man and woman just like yours
and mine.
This profound difference
is never spoken of in an interview of a Mormon. When the above leading
evangelicals interviewed Romney, they were easily deflected in pursuing the
truth by readily accepting Mormons believe in Jesus. Romney said, "When I say
Jesus Christ is my Lord and savior, I realize that means something different to
you than it does to me."
The leading evangelicals
did not go far enough. They accept Romney's answer of believing in Jesus but
their questioning did not go on to a follow up question. The problem is persons like the leading evangelicals do
not know enough about Mormonism to ask probing questions.
There are other "Mormon
truths" that as of late have been exposed.
The Mormon Church instilled the conviction
millions of Native Americans were descended from a lost tribe of
Israel that reached the New World more than 2,000 years ago.
Mormons have been taught all blessings of that Hebrew lineage belong to
Mormons making Mormons special people.
This gives a sense of transcendental
identity, an identity with God.
A few years ago, this faith was
shaken and Mormon identity stripped away by DNA evidence showing the
ancestors of American natives came from Asia, not the Middle East.
For Mormons, the lack of discernible Hebrew blood in Native Americans is no
minor collision between faith and science. It burrows into the historical
foundations of the Book of Mormon, a 175-year-old transcription that the
church regards as literal and without error.
For those outside the faith, the depth of the church's dilemma can be
explained this way: Imagine if DNA evidence revealed that the Pilgrims
didn't sail from Europe to escape religious persecution but rather were part
of a migration from Iceland — and that U.S. history books were wrong.
Critics want the church to admit its mistake and apologize to millions of
Native Americans it converted. Church leaders have shown no inclination to
do so. Indeed, they have dismissed as heresy any suggestion that Native
American genetics undermine the Mormon creed.
Thus Mormonism is based on lies. Lies are not a
foundation to build a presidential campaign. If a person can lie about what he
believes in God, then he can lie to the American people about anything.
Satan is very clever. The way to defeat Satan
is to expose his lies.
