The Truths Mitt Romney and the Mormon propaganda machine hope you'll never hear...

From: equip.org

October 5, 2011 "How Mormon am I?" Mitt Romney responded to a journalist from The Atlantic in 2005, during his first run for President of the United States. "You know, the principles and values taught to me by faith are values I aspire to live by and are as American as motherhood and apple pie. My faith believes in family, believes in Jesus Christ... And I'm not perfect, but I'm one aspiring to be a good person as defined by the biblical Judeo-Christian standards..." It sounds pretty good — but then, it's supposed to. For decades, Mormon leadership has made a concerted effort to win over Americans by making it appear Mormons hold the same basic tenets as Christians. In fact, they are obscuring the face of Mormonism through the manufacture of a Mormon mirage. As a result, many Christians today believe there's no need to share Christ with their Mormon neighbors — and their Mormon neighbors may well consider themselves orthodox Christians. We hear a Mormon state a belief in Jesus and "biblical Judeo-Christian standards," without realizing their faith is founded in teachings that: Jesus Christ was conceived by sexual intercourse between God and the Virgin Mary. The Bible is filled with errors and superseded by the Book of Mormon and the words of all Mormon prophets. God was once human like us, dwelling on earth, and "became God" through faith and good works — just as we can do ourselves. Jesus' death and resurrection secured only the opportunity for us to attain salvation through our own good works — salvation is not by faith in Christ. ...and much, much more that contradicts the explicit teaching of God's Word. If we can't understand and articulate these differences, we too can be taken in by the Mormon mirage... and be unable to share the truth in love with Mormons as God provides opportunities. But with Romney prominent in the 2012 presidential campaign, the Mormon Church's vested interest in obscuring these crucial points is at its height. That's why I've taken the actual teachings of Mormons themselves — from Joseph Smith to current leaders — and distilled them into an important new resource to help you grasp the essential doctrinal differences between Mormonism and Christianity: the Memorable Keys to the M-O-R-M-O-N Mirage flipchart. The M-O-R-M-O-N Mirage flipchart is my "thank you" for your continued support this month through a gift of $25, $50, $100, or whatever you're called to send.You know the Christian Research Institute exists to equip you to fully understand your faith, so you can defend it against the many attacks surrounding us today. But I hope you also know that only God's provision through friends like you makes this possible. We're completely listener-supported, so every life-changing resource is a gift from someone like you who said, "Yes, I will make a difference by standing with CRI!" Recently, Mitt Romney affirmed Joseph Smith's millennial beliefs that Jesus will reign in Independence, Missouri: "Throughout the Bible Christ appears in Jerusalem, splits the Mount of Olives to stop the war that's coming in to kill all the Jews. Our church believes that.We also believe that over the thousand years that follows, the Millennium, He will reign from two places, that the law will come forth from one place, in Missouri, and the other will be in Jerusalem." Romney's explicit affirmation of Mormon eschatology is particularly disturbing in light of another prophecy by Joseph Smith that one day the U.S. Constitution will be hanging by a thread, only to be saved by Elders of the LDS Church. But please don't misunderstand my comments about Mitt Romney. I'm not talking about his politics — I'm talking about his belief system. Romney has attempted to make Mormonism sound mainstream when it's anything but. As such, I wrote the flipchart not to influence your politics, but your heart, exposing the Mormon mirage and the delusion leading multiplied millions to their doom. With Mormonism's current aggressive publicity and evangelism, you need to be armed with the facts for yourself and to share... because Truth matters. In the Memorable Keys to the M-O-R-M-O-N Mirage flipchart, I'll show you how Mormon leaders have "redefined" Christian terms so they can sound like they're agreeing with us... but mean something entirely different. Through the memorable acronym M-O-R-M-O-N, you'll learn exactly where the differences between Christianity and Mormonism lie. And with its convenient size, the flipchart is ideal to carry with you as you share the truth in love with other Christians and with Mormon friends and neighbors. Don't be taken in by the smokescreen of Mormonism's PR machine. Request your copy of the flipchart when you send your gift of support today — and remember that your gift will help produce more vital resources to equip Christians everywhere to stand strong in the faith! ...because Truth matters, Hank Hanegraaff President P.S. With Mitt Romney a front-runner in the presidential campaign, the Mormon PR program has kicked into high gear, presenting Mormonism as nearly identical to Christianity. Let me send you my new Memorable Keys to the M-O-R-M-O-N Mirage flipchart today, in appreciation for your ministry support, to help you discern the truth.
