Mitt Romney For President… Anti-Christ Ascending

The franchise  rights we Americans enjoy may be the most extensive of any nation in the world  and the exercise of these rights is an awesome responsibility. The prospect of  freely choosing the myriad government officials who hold sway over so many  aspects of life is an unimaginable prospect for most of the citizens of the   world. Assuming (wrongly) that folk weigh carefully issues that are important  to them prior to casting their votes, common considerations involve economic,  social and security matters. Conventional wisdom states the “economy” remains  the chief influencer when it comes to national elections, particularly with  regard to the presidential contest.

With this in  mind, I offer guidance regarding the potential candidacy of Mitt Romney, the  former governor of Massachusetts. As I write this, (very) early polls indicate  Romney is the frontrunner among challengers to the President for the 2012  election. I am concerned that any Christian would vote to grant a man such as  Governor Romney the solemn honor to serve this great nation as president. And  not for the reason many might assume. It’s not, as many suggest, that there is  a great deal of evidence of a lack of true conviction on his part regarding  issues such as gay-marriage and abortion. Yes, he has flipped-flopped on these.  It’s not that he was the architect of what has been called the “proto-type” of  a socialized medicine along lines very similar to Obama-care. It’s not even due  to my concern over the fact that he may be using Grecian Formula (humor). The  problem with Governor Romney is that he is a “temple” Mormon and a high priest  within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Now, for a  moment, consider if I had just written that Romney was a Wahhabi Muslim? While  most Christians would not hesitate to oppose the election of a Saudi Arabian  style Muslim to the highest office in the land, many of the same folk would not  hesitate to cast a vote for a (giving him the benefit of the doubt) solid  conservative fellow like Governor Romney. I would vote for neither but would  have less concern over the Muslim. With the Wahhabist, one knows what one is  getting. With a temple Mormon, as Sandra and Jerald Tanner suggest, it’s hard  to separate “shadow” from “reality”[1].
The Mormon temple ritual, though modified and softened in the last twenty
years, is a highly secretive and disgusting program of blood oaths and
secret-society mumbo-jumbo that was originally patterned after the rites of the
Freemasonry. If most voters were aware of the gory details of the ritual
involved in Mormon temples, especially those before the recent changes, the
ex-governor would not stand a chance of serious consideration. As an aside,
should Romney achieve the nomination, one can count on an avalanche of
“revelations” regarding the particulars of Mormon history. Romney will
constantly have to defend the many odious positions the church has taken in its  brief history. Of course these include the LDS’s historic support of polygamy  and its practice of racism (primarily towards blacks as recent as 1972).

Mormon history  is interesting and sad, but Governor Romney should have a much bigger problem  with Christians. The very essence of Christianity is the acknowledgment of  Jesus Christ as the “only” Son of God. To Christians, Jesus is God. Not only  “is”, but “always has been”. Mormon theology asserts that God evolved from a man  to a God and that all Mormon men  may one  day become gods of their own planets. Yes, indeed, Romney looks forward to one
day being God over his own planet where his celestial wives will be eternally
pregnant as they populate their “kingdom.” Further, Mormon teaching asserts that  Jesus Christ was a spirit brother of Satan and was conceived by heavenly
parents… and the goofiness goes on and on. How any informed (this is key)
Christian could consider trusting the nation’s highest office to a temple Mormon  is beyond comprehension for me. This is why.

Governor Romney  epitomizes the spirit of the Anti-Christ. The very essence this spirit is the  distortion of the identity of Jesus Christ. The Jesus that Mormonism presents  is not remotely similar to the Jesus of the Bible and the presentation of this  false-Jesus is the calling card of the Anti-Christ spirit…

1 John 4:2-3

This
is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that  Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge  Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have  heard is coming and even now is already in the world. NIV

It would be bad enough that  Romney’s Jesus is not the Jesus that we know and love, but worse, far worse, is  the fact that Mormonism offers a gospel much different than the one we have  received. Since this is the case, to elect Romney to the presidency would be to  elect someone who is under an eternal curse. Imagine that… a president perpetually  opposed by God for the sin of preaching “another gospel.”

Gal 1:8-9

8 But even if we or an angel from heaven
should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be
eternally condemned! 9 As we have already said, so now I say
again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted,
let him be eternally condemned! NIV

With the Muslim, one knows what  one is getting. With Romney one also knows what one is getting… if one does his  homework. Joseph Smith, the father and founding “prophet” of Mormonism was a  son of Satan, the father of all liars. Romney, unless he repents and embraces  the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, is a son of the same lineage. The pundits and  many Christians may think Romney has “come around” to the right position on  many of the issues important to conservative Christians because he has had a  change of heart. His father knows better.
