Rose)<br /><br /> LDS a "cult"? What about the "rapture"?<br /><br /> by Bruce Rockwell<br /><br /> Mitt Romney, a Mormon, is "not a Christian" and Mormonism is a "cult," according to Rev. Robert Jeffress, pastor of the Dallas (TX) First Baptist Church.<br /> His "cult" remark is based on his belief that the Latter Day Saints church (which didn't exist before 1830) is outside "the mainstream of Christianity."<br /> But Jeffress hypocritically promotes the popular evangelical "rapture" (theologically the "any-moment pretribulation rapture") which is outside mainstream Christianity (Google "Pretrib Rapture Politics") and which also didn't exist before 1830 (Google "Pretrib Rapture Diehards" and "Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty")!<br /> And there are 50 million American rapture cultists (some of whom turn Wikipedia into "Wicked-pedia" by constantly distorting the real facts about the rapture's bizarre, 181-year-old history) compared with only 14 million LDS members.<br /> The most accurate documentation on pretrib rapture history that I have found is in a nonfiction book titled "The Rapture Plot" which is carried by leading online bookstores. I know also that the same 300-page work can also be borrowed through inter-library loan at any library.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-73415379526336293572011-10-13T18:10:56.422-05:002011-10-13T18:10:56.422-05:00We adhere to the religion by conveniently ignoring...We adhere to the religion by conveniently ignoring that which is logical.:-)Ix Ka-Dei Mayanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01942709054786301169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-81794359458337992572011-10-09T11:21:18.549-05:002011-10-09T11:21:18.549-05:00Romney will be the nominee only by virtue of the &...Romney will be the nominee only by virtue of the "last man standing" rule.Chris Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18139817527808942227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-29141168634182951142011-10-08T21:30:17.369-05:002011-10-08T21:30:17.369-05:00I've said this about Romney all along.
