Romney is a Mormon... Is He "Christian"?

WRONG. Christians dont believe the craziness that Mormons do and we do not permit multiple wives or marrying chil;dren as MORMONs do. Please dont comapre true Christians with those sick, crazy b******s.

 

Actually through out the Christian Churches history (all of them) maraige began as early as 15 or even earlier. such as Isabella of Valois, second wife of Richard II of England, whom she married when she was not yet seven. Eleanor of Castile married Edward I of England at age 10 or Marie Antuinette at 15. The peasants married even earlier at times through a majority of the Churches history.

 

So that makes it OK for the Mormon's.....are you a Mormon ?

 

No I am an Orthodox Christian, I am just pointing out that the things you have said make the Mormons wrong, but it does not make them any less Christian.

Also comparing their "old" views on marriage to the "old" views of the western Churches shows that they have had many similarities. Lets not forget that the Mormon Church had to end its practices concerning young marriage and polygamy. If we are going to blame that Church for its cult off shoots that continue the practices then you would almost have to blame every faith for every lunatic fringe group that tries to associate itself with a larger church against that churches wishes.

The Mormon Church is wrong about most of the key articles of faith. But they have the most important belief that Christ is the only path to salvation. So yes they are Christian (barely) but they are very very very misguided. Thus like all the western churches they are heterodox.

 

.....please provide your definition of 'orthodox Christian'.......thanks.

 

Mormons on polygamy- Most asked questions.


They even taught in the early church that Jesus had many wives to justify their own desires.

Frankly I'm not sure what the difference is between seeing god's word in rocks and any other crazy miracle from the bible. Unlimited Fish and Bread? What's that about? Water to wine? Get real!

 

Does anyone else keep reading the thread title as "Romney is a moron?"

 

They are indeed sexually perverted people.

 

I am a member of the Eastern Orthodox Church. In particuler the Greek Orthodox Church.

 

The Mormon Church did and does have some very odd views that are not supported by the Bible or Church tradition. But I think it is a stretch to call ALL Mormons perverted, perhaps misguided.

 

First if you are what you say you are, then something happened to be a "former" Priest. The theology of what you say, says lots. If someone "was" a Priest, the orders and ordination continue to go with you. Why say a former Priest? Just wondering. Yes Mormans are Christians, your posts are full of misinformation at best. Is there a heirarchy in the Morman faith, but there is also the same in the Catholic faith.

Orthodox Christian - one who belongs to any of the modern churches, including among others the Greek and Russian Orthodox, that is derived from the church of the Byzantine Empire, adheres to the Byzantine rite, and acknowledges the honorary primacy of the patriarch of Constantinople.

 

Since I believe that anyone who can accept the foundation of the BOM as valid is foolish, gullible and lacking in the ability to make good decisions, then no, I do not read it as Romney is a moron. Many otherwise very intelligent people are gullible, foolish and lacking in the ability to make good decisions.

 

I am not sure about anyone else, but I could not vote for either a Muslim or a Mormon for any public office. This is not because of religious bigotry, but because of some of the beliefs of the people in those religions. I can and have voted for Christians of many denominations and locally even anatheist or two. I am an atheist and vote for the ones I believe are the best for the job. I do not believe anyone that can accept the introduction to the BOM can be qualified to make any decent decision. Nor, do I believe anyone who follows the religion of the Qur'an can be trusted to put the nation of America above his religion.

 

Anyone who accepts Jesus as their lord and savior is Christian, that means the Mormons are Christian.

 

Yukon, ignored for using veiled profanity.

 

Why would it be unacceptable for a Muslim to place his holy scripture above the nation of America, yet you don't seem to view the Bible as a problem for Christians? The term "Christianity" is admittedly very broad, considering that it is a prism with multiple different interpretations and varying levels of extremity, but the religion of Islam is no different. I would qualify your statement, in that I agree a conservative Muslim may not be relied upon to accurately reflect the views of this country and his (or her) constituents, but you are appearing to stereotype the entire Islamic religion as Koran-banging and non-patriotic, which I think is unfortunate.

 

Really a persons religion is their own business. As long as they are a patriot and try to do what is best for all the people of our country I have no problem with them. True I may not agree with them but that is what America is all about. Being allowed to disagree with our leaders freely and without fear.

 

Exactly why I wouldn't vote for a Mormon or any other religious nut job. Freedom from being prohibited from exercising what ever religious beliefs I decide for myself, not the government or some other supremacist organization or an organized religion in general.

 

We've had some pretty devout presidents in the past, and none of them have been able to repeal the First amendment. Romney would be no different. Not even Perry could accomplish such a feat should he be elected.

 

Not to mention none of them would want to becuase there may come a day when their religion could be persacuted. The 1st is very important to all of us that have faith.

 

If you had ever lived in a community controlled by a Mormon dominated government structure you would see things my way, unless you are a Mormon I reckon.
　
　
　
Being religious doesn't make one a nut job, being a religious nut job makes one untrustworthy nut job. Most politicians are religious because it is convenient, which shows in the way they lie, cheat, and even steal for their real bosses without blinking an eye. They make an appearance in Church sometimes even regularly while they pick and choose which commandments they will break throughout the week.

 

That should be particularly true of the member of a religion that once left the United States for Mexican territories under very difficult circumstances due to religious persecution.
