Romney Delivers Important Speech On His Religious Beliefs

Thu Dec 6 09:05:01 PST 2007

 I believe Romney also forgot to mention that Mormonism teaches that Jesus is the spiritual brother of Lucifer. Try finding THAT in your Bible!

Isn't there a fairly obvious contradiction between an 
ostensibly principled refusal to discuss any theological doctrine associated 
with Mormonism and Romney's ostentatious proclamation that he (and presumably 
Mormonism) considers "Jesus Christ is the Son of God and 
the Savior of mankind"???Is sit now legitimate to ask if those who 
don't believe that Jesus was "the Son of God" are saved?? Or does the 
salvation take place independently of how one conceives Jesus?? Isn't this 
like a witness on the stand answering only the question he wishes to and then 
taking the Fifth (or the First, or the No Test Oath) when the answer might be 
counterproductive?
