Humm…And how is a Christian painting a Mormon as satan so very different from a “core” “the base” “a real” conservative republican painting a moderate republican (McCain) as in bed with the democrats or no different from Senator Clinton? I might remind you that Sentator Clinton voted with the democrats a total of 97.1 percent of the time and Senator McCain voted with the republicans 87.7 percent of the time. BTW I think the characterization of Governor Romney is wrong and mean spirited.

Are you equating the Democrats with Satan?

Yes well, the very “hate” and it IS “hate” that you are referring to in your link is alive and well on this board.
Minnowspeaks: While very mild… you ask “how is a Christian painting a Mormon as satan so very different from conservative republican painting a moderate republican (McCain) as in bed with the democrats.”
Your just kidding me right???? There is a world of difference between comparing someone to Satan and comparing someone to an opposing political party.
It is sadly okay to be a bigot if it’s against a Mormon. Sure, there are people who defend, but too many who don’t when people say outrageous things here. I’m amazed at the hypocrisy that people can go to church, where your supposed to learn how to better your life and use that to belittle others.
Donny famously made the same comparison about a vote for Romney = the devil vote not too long ago. The very Bible that tells us not to judge, to love, have charity,serve. etc etc
Until people of faith, can respect other people of any faith, we are no different than the countries our military is in right now.
I don’t know or care the faith of my CPA, Attorney, neighbors, teachers, landscaper, etc. I just want to know if their HONEST, Trusworthy, Ethical and can get the job done. Same as president..
Off my soapbox,
For now…

Such trash isn’t worth repeating, michele.
Now, re: Jefferson: ’round the blogs lately, I’ve encountered folks quoting J. H. Newman asserting Calvinism leads to Unitarianism. I don’t see the connection myself, but, maybe at an earlier time or with an offshoot. Considering Newman hailed from the Calvinist tradition, he’s likely biased.
Same seems to go for Jefferson, an early Calvinist influence at home and school. But, he cut out what didn’t stand to reason, i.e., miracles.

Moonshadow: HUH?? I know I’m sleep deprived with a 9 month old who refuses to sleep more than 4 hours so maybe I’m missing the obvious…
Not following.

Um…not quite sure why anyone would think that Calvinism would lead to Unitarianism, what about Calvinism would lead one to reject the Trinity?

The original Reformed Presbyterian position after the Constitution was ratified in 1787 was that because the Constitution leaves out any reference to the authority of God and Christ it is an immoral document to which Christians should not swear allegiance, because Proverbs says “In all your ways acknowledge Him.”
The tangible fruit of making no mention of God’s authority in the early nineteenth century was slavery. Now it’s abortion…

Huh! I didn’t know that, that’s pretty interesting.

Because they cannot conscientiously swear allegiance to the Constitution, Reformed Presbyterians historically have not voted. The position is called “political dissent.”
A wonderful brother named Bill Cornell, who graduated first in his class at WTS in either 1974 or 1975 and basically worked himself into an early grave (he’s now with the LORD) was a political dissenter, as are some of the older RP’s.
James Dobson was espousing a position of “political dissent” toward the Presidential election today on Glenn Beck’s radio program. Like me, Dobson has voted all his life, and it’s hard to stop now. But by God’s grace we can move mountains….
