Another member of the Christian Right elite for Mitt Romney. From the campaign’s press release announcing the endorsement of former Christian Coalition executive director Randy Tate:
“In his four years as Governor of Massachusetts, I was impressed by Mitt Romney’s willingness to take and defend conservative positions on pro-family and pro-growth issues. As President, I believe that Governor Romney will govern as a conservative committed to defeating the Jihadist threat, strengthening the family, uplifting the culture, and expanding the economy through free-market principles,” said Tate.
Tate headed Christian Coalition for two years in the wake of Ralph Reed’s 1997 departure. The Romney press release says that “During his time as head of the Coalition, membership increased by over 200,000.” God-o-Meter has a hard time believing this, since the Coalition collapsed after Reed’s departure and is now a pale shadow of its once mighty self.

Romney is NOT a Chriastian! A Christian believes that Jesus is God as stated in the Bible. Romney is a Morman and does Not believe that Jesus is God. Huckabee on the other hand IS a Christian and so is Obama although a Obama is a liberal one.

The question I have is, do evangelicals think that you can have a theocracy with a Mormon?

theocracy with a Mormon?
I do not know what that means, I believe that Father, Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit are one.

Well, I don’t believe any presidential candidate should be upheld to a religious test because that would be unconstitutional.
Romney would do well to leave his religion out of his politics, and though I do not hear him spouting about his God like Huckabee does- he certainly chases after the support and endorsements from religious groups, coalitions, talking heads, ad nauseum.
WWRPD?

Seriously, has anyone other than the Mormons read the Book of Mormon?
“26 And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins.” 2 Nephi 25:26
“And he hath brought to pass the redemption of the world, whereby he that is found guiltless before him at the judgment day hath it given unto him to dwell in the presence of God in his kingdom, to sing ceaseless praises with the choirs above, unto the Father, and unto the Son, and unto the Holy Ghost, which are one God, in a state of happiness which hath no end.” Mormon 7:7
I mean, how hard is it to get a copy of a free book and read it?

Mormons do believe that Jesus was the literal Son of God, as is stated hundreds of times in the New Testament, thus inheriting his Godly attributes. We are as Christian as any other Christian denomination because we follow His teachings in the Bible. This race shouldn’y be about the details of religion anyway, but rather about if Romney or any other person can get this nation back on track.

Oh How I love this site. When there’s good news about Romney, one or two things will happen. One, someone who pretends to be in the “know” about mormonism will spout about how their not Christians, blah blah blah. Or, it goes completely silent around here.
Think crickets chirping…
Randy Tate could probably give a hoot about where your church is. The concern is whether their agendas and goals will be met with a certain candidate.
Anyhow, leave it to the “anti’s” out there to keep the bigotry going. Racial discrimination, uncool
Gender discrimination, uncool
Muslim, Jewish, Catholic discrimination, uncool
Mormon discrimination, politically correct.

Book of mormon quote;
Moses 22 And this is the genealogy of the sons of Adam, who was the ason of God, with whom God, himself, conversed
This is what I understand most mormons believe about Jesus’ sonship.
The same way Joseph Smith was a son of God?
Bible quote
Titus 1:3
and at his appointed season he brought his word to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior,
John 1
The Word Became Flesh
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.
3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood[a] it.
me;
Jesus is God, The Son of God, not like you, I, Adam or Joseph Smith are sons of God.
I have read the book of mormon and other world beliefs but only once because I found it/them to be works of man not of God. Jesus is Savior is God.
Everything is all about God, not just politics.

That is laugh out loud funny.
Book of Mormon chapter 1/verse 1 “I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents.
Chapter 1/verse 3 : “And I (Nephi) know that the record which I make is true: and I make it with mine own hand: and I make it according to my knowledge.
it is the work of man. Many men to be exact were authors of the Book of Mormon and the Bible for that matter.
All this fun aside. This is what amazes me.. There’s an article about a Romney endorsement, and the 1st post is an attack on his religion. How exactly do you reconcile that in your head? One of the first lessons I learned as a kid was not to be so quick to point the finger. Last time I checked, one very large basis of Christianity is acceptance, love, oh, and NOT JUDGING. But I keep running into all these good ol Christian people who think it’s up to them to decide who gets in the club and who doesn’t. So I ask? When your day of judgement comes, when you get to settle up with the Lord on how you’ve lived your life, how do you justify that? Uh, well..
You took a simple article and turned it into whose a Christian. You brought up the Father, Son, Holy Ghost, Joseph Smith, theocracy and started quoting scripture. Seriously.

I do not know what article you are talking about. Sounds like it must be true though and it sure seems to bother you. The mormon quotes I found in the book of morman. I was just stating the obvious. Have you no knowledge about what you are saying? Read 1 Cor 23; 15 & 16.
“Seriously.” do not be so flippant because it is serious.
