Mitt Romney is Not a Christian

Be careful.

The interesting thing about Christians who try and sit at the table with the political right -- when the political right no longer needs the Christian, the Christian will be the first to be eaten.

Over the last year, I have heard several of the talk radio types give some warnings about social issues: forget about them. Forget marriage, abortion -- we need to focus on getting republicans elected, to make sure taxes stay low.

We don't live in a theocracy and I am not going to hold my breathe and wait on a Baptist to win the presidency. Elections have consequences and the majority get to set the agenda.

Having said all that....in comes Mitt Romney and this is were the trouble is going to start, in my opinion.

Mitt Romney is a Mormon who is trying to pass himself off as a Christian. Mormon's are not Christians. Mormons have different gods, a different Jesus and different theology than Christians have. Conservative leaders have already begun to make their veiled threats against anyone who questions Romney's Christianity.

I'm not proposing that there is a standard of theology to run for president. But I am not going to support someone who lies about what they believe either. Christians cannot hide the fact that Romney claims to be a Christian when he is not. We MUST expose that. Not because of political purposes, but because of the gospel. On a national stage, there will be a leader corrupting the gospel, with thousands of talking heads confirming this damnable heresy for the sake of political power. We are being warned to keep our mouths shut about Romney's religion.

We can't stay quiet about this, and that is why the political right will turn on Christians in a heart beat if we don't "fall in line" when Romney gets the nomination. I cannot keep my mouth shut and put a pretty face on a damnable evil.

It will be interesting to see the fall out if he does get the nomination. Christians need to pray and be prepared to give an answer, because Mormonism is coming to the national stage in the clothes of Christianity.
