Recently someone made the comment on a social network that Mormonism is more dangerous than Satanism. I have to disagree. Satanism – a religion that teaches self-indulgence, points to self, makes up your own rules for each individual, each individual doing their own thing with no absolutes– is more dangerous in my opinion. With that being said, America is already practicing Satanism. However, if you want to talk about the danger of a Mormon revival in the land, then yes, that is dangerous. Very dangerous.
I may be wrong, but I suspect that if Mitt Romney gets in the Whitehouse, there may be a Mormon revival of sorts. People who have had no religion or Biblical knowledge, perhaps liking his values of decency, hard work and personal responsibilty, may look upon the man and decide to take on his religion. This would be very deadly for any of us who believe that Mormonism is NOT the true Gospel, but one who has it’s roots in golden tablets, an angel named Moroni and a false prophet named Joseph Smith. No one and I mean no one can believe the Bible is the absolute Word of God and embrace Mormonism as the truth of God. It is not possible.
Even so, the bigger problem still is not Mormonism. The problem is lukewarm Christianity that refuses to look deception in the face and call it out. This will be the greater danger. When/if Christians fail to speak the truth, they have compromised the truth. Making it of little importance and thus helping many to enter hell with a false gospel.
Don’t be a Joel Osteen.

Im not sure how many Presidents have really had a life changing experience with Jesus salvation plan but I would say not many only the Lord knows. Using the term Christian is use very loosely in business and all walks of life and I was guilty of this for years sad to say however when the mormons say that thier jesus is satans brother and we are gods proves how evil there teaching is and how this deception is spread throughout the world again ten percent truth mixed with ninety percent lies.

scruggsstuffbobby, I doubt very many had life changing experiences. Like you say, only God knows. I still will take a Mormon over a Muslim anyday. I look at it this way too: who would I rather have for my neighbor? A hard working decent Mormon or the typical obama supporter who thinks government should steal MY tax dollars to go to them in order to make “things fair.” I will choose the Mormon any day of the week. I realize that may offend some, but oh well, it is the truth. Isn’t any sense in dancing around it.

I agree with you. However, I do believe many who claim they are CHRISTIAN, have NO clue who or what is a true Christian. A friend of my sister’s was asked, are you a Christian, her anwer “Of course, I am a Christian, I am an American, aren’t I?”..Believers know that a Christian is a follower of Christ. One reads the Bible to learn what one must do, how one must live to actually be a Christian. Many just trot to church on Sunday and that is the extent of their “learning”. They never open the Bible, some to read a scripture or two, even a chapter but have no Bible Study so they will KNOW the way. Other religions are not Christian. You can only pray to the Father in the name of Yeshua..not to anyone else. He taught us to pray, Our Father who art in Heaven….look it up, Christians, if you do not know it. Scripture also says IF an angel from Heaven comes to you…do not listen to the angel. LOOK up scripture and learn for yourself. It matters. YOU will give answer for yourself and knowing the Word of God will give you the answers.

wanda, you are right. I remember years ago I was talking to a seminary student. I was always excited back then to talk about the things of God. I asked this person how long had she been born-again. She told me, “I’ve been a christian all of my life.” Hmmmm, that just did not set right with me. Unfortuantely, there are many within churches with the same mindset.
