Those who read my blog are aware that I am a Mormon. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Evangelical pastor Robert Jeffress stole the Friday news cycle with his comments that Mitt Romney, as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, was a “non-Christian” in a “cult”– shortly after having introduced Rick Perry as speaker at the Values Voter Summit. Jeffress elaborated on his comments last night to Anderson Cooper in an interview where he argued Catholicism defied the New Testament and suggested President Obama’s “purported” Christianity was not enough to sway his vote.
In response to media calls regarding comments made by a Baptist minister at a political event stating that Mormons are not Christians, the Church issued the following statement today:
We really don’t want to comment on a
statement made at a political event, but those who want to understand
the centrality of Christ to our faith can learn more about us and what
we believe by going to mormon.org.
I also found this interview interesting. It doesn't help at all to try to explain our position to anyone who has their mind made up to what we believe. I think that the best thing is to send them to the official website. It saves for a lot of waisted energy, and hard feelings!
