This article &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://mormonsarechristian.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://mormonsarechristian.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; helps to clarify such misconceptions by examining early Christianity's comprehension of baptism, the Godhead, the deity of Jesus Christ and His Atonement. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Church of Jesus Christ (LDS) adheres more closely to First Century Christianity and the New Testament than any other denomination. &amp;nbsp; Harper’s Bible Dictionary entry on the Trinity says “the formal doctrine of the Trinity as it was defined by the great church councils of the fourth and fifth centuries is not to be found in the New Testament.” &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Perhaps the reason the pastors denigrate the Church of Jesus Christ (LDS) is to protect their flock (and their livelihood). &amp;nbsp;It is encouraging that Paul Weyrich, Wayne Grudem and Bob Jones III, (along with Jay Sekulow, Mark DeMoss, and Dr. John Willke, a founder and past president of the National Right to Life Committee.) have rejected bigotry and now support Mitt Romney on the basis that he is the most moral candidate with the best qualifications.&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Mitt also wants to speak at SC church?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/12/03/493639.aspx#494882</link><pubDate>Tue, 04 Dec 2007 04:49:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:494882</guid><dc:creator>carl loeber, san jose, ca.</dc:creator><description>Right you are John .. there has probably not been such a &amp;nbsp;candidate with the business acumen and execution of Romney ever ..

(I, of course, am talking about those who opposed Obama's presence and not Evangelicals in general- just a disclaimer- don't want to offend anyone).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Classwarrior, I would probably have phrased it a little differently, but I agree. &amp;nbsp;When will this truly become the land of the FREE, the home of the brave, and the standard bearing country with freedom of religion, when the strong &amp;quot;christian&amp;quot; south still has so much control over a political (non-religious) election? &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As much as I care about &amp;quot;social/value&amp;quot; issues, they are really a very small concern compared to health care, the war, immigration, the economy, etc. &amp;nbsp;So WHY do those issues rule every election?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please people, let's worry about the country's safety and freedom first, and then focus on the nity-grity of social concerns. </description></item></channel></rss>
