A Mormon for President? (Part Two)


Can someone who believes that he will grow up to be a God and that Jesus the Christ and Lucifer are brothers make a good president?

Who We Are - Why We are Here - 
and Where We are going.

Prolog
       To fully understand the relationship between Jesus Christ and Lucifer and for that matter how we fit in the picture with them, it would be good to understand what the Church calls "The Plan of Salivation". [1]  I find this a difficult subject to fully discuss for there are those who would restrict the conversation to "Only what is in the Bible". They accuse me of Adding to the Word of God.[2]  I ask: Are you not taking away from the word of God by rejection the Book of Mormon as true scripture?
        Is the Book of Mormon true, now becomes the debate and the whole issue of the relationship to Jesus Christ and Lucifer is set aside in the long held and unbending belief that "The Holy Bible" is the only and total sum of all that God has ever said and all he can or could ever say.  Is the Book of Mormon True is an important question and should and needs to be addressed. There are two scriptures that will add in the quest.  First STUDY,[3] the second PRAY.[4]  Due to the requirement of time that it takes to fully study and prayerfully consider an undertake of such an important issue I would, for expedience to the question of the relationship between our selves, Jesus who is the Christ and Lucifer the Adversary, temporary ask we set this question aside, for the moment, if you will allow me. How ever if this can not be done and is to be an impediment to the open discussion I would suggest that we stop here and take on this more important issue in understanding the "Mormon" faith which we call the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ.  The main question remains "Is the Book of Mormon true"?  All this hinges on and ends with the Question of "Is the Book of Mormon true?" If the Book of Mormon is true and came to be as Joseph Smith said then the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are true.  What is true can be debated until the nether world freezes over but the way it really is will remain despite what is believed by any of us.
Plan of Salvation
       In the Beginning, before the foundation of creation we were all with our Father, God and Creator [5] in place we call heaven or the abiding place of God.  We all came to a great conference to deicide what was to be done.  Our Fathers plan was that we would build an earth and gain bodies, be tested and those who were obedient would return and inherited all that our Father has.[6]  One would be selected as our guide and savor. Our older Brother Jesus came forth and said "Father, send me I will be the guide and example where by your children will learn and return to you to glorify your name." And then another said "No Father send me and I will make every one obey and all will return to you and I will have the glory.  Lucifer would have taken a way the free agency of man and wish to have what he thought was a better plan than that of our Father.  There was a great contention, a War in Heaven if you will. In the end our Brother Lucifer was cast out with one third of the host of heaven with him to never be partakers in the fullness of all the Father has. [7]

          Today that great battle for the souls of men continues where the Godless would have us slaves of the state for the good of the collective.  These Godless hordes take every opportunity to separate Church and State forgetting and resenting the fact that the divine document that was inspired of God, our Father, states clearly "Nor prohibit the free exercise there of."  These same hordes attack the Jews to prove that God is not God.  If our Father can not protect the Children of Israel and gather them once again as he promised he will cease to be God and the whole plan of our Father will be thwarted. I do not wish to be on the wrong side of that fight, would you?

A Mormon the Whitehouse? 
      Why would any freedom loving, God fearing man of any faith who loves the U.S. Constitution as I do ever fear such a thing. The restoration Gospel for Jesus Christ in its fullness would not have been possible under any other law of the land that has come of men before or since.  A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is bound by his faith to defend this Constitution as one would his Life, Liberty, and his family. [8]

       As I have said before the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Tea Party suffer for the same problems namely "A Lot of Bad Press".  Could it be they both are fighting the same enemy namely the "Father of Lies" -another name for Lucifer.  I am told that I must separate Church and State.  I can not for to me it is all about the same fight over the Freedom of men's souls, and ladies too.

Like Hank Williams Jr. Said

"The United Socialist States of America how do you like that Name.
I'll keep the U.S.A and Ya'll can keep the change."

[2] Should we end the bible at Deuteronomy Chapter 4:2?  
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

[3] STUDY 
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

[4] PRAY 
James Chapter 1: 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6  But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.  For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7  For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8  A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

[5] Our Father - Our God
Gospel of John Chapter 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

[6] Romans 8:16  The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17  And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

And there was awar in heaven: bMichael and his cangels fought against the dragon; and the ddragon fought and his angels,
 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more inaheaven.
 And the great dragon was acast out, that old serpent, called thebDevil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

[8] Alma Chapter 48:11  And Moroni was a strong and a mighty man; he was a man of a perfect understanding; yea, a man that did not delight in bloodshed; a man whose soul did joy in the liberty and the freedom of his country, and his brethren from bondage and slavery;
12  Yea, a man whose heart did swell with thanksgiving to his God, for the many privileges and blessings which he bestowed upon his people; a man who did labor exceedingly for the welfare and safety of his people.
13  Yea, and he was a man who was firm in the faith of Christ, and he had sworn with an oath to defend his people, his rights, and his country, and his religion, even to the loss of his blood.
14  Now the Nephites were taught to defend themselves against their enemies, even to the shedding of blood if it were necessary; yea, and they were also taught never to give an offense, yea, and never to raise the sword except it were against an enemy, except it were to preserve their lives.
15  And this was their faith, that by so doing God would prosper them in the land, or in other words, if they were faithful in keeping the commandments of God that he would prosper them in the land; yea, warn them to flee, or to prepare for war, according to their danger;
16  And also, that God would make it known unto them whither they should go to defend themselves against their enemies, and by so doing, the Lord would deliver them; and this was the faith of Moroni, and his heart did glory in it; not in the shedding of blood but in doing good, in preserving his people, yea, in keeping the commandments of God, yea, and resisting iniquity.

Who Shall We Have to Be Our President


Who Shall We Have to Be Our President?

Prolog
       I now stand here before you, today, ashamed of my silence in this recent past. I have be reluctant to speak out, allowing for the ignorance and miss information that has been spread about, over the last one hundred and eight years that plagues this nation - A nation founded on the principal of Freedom - I have been afraid that the subject about which I now speak would only serve to distract from my purpose in this forum of preserving the Constitutional Republic know as the United States of America.  Yet as I have sat by the very issues for which I stand accused of avoiding still remain and now threaten to divide us.

        Some now question their support for a man to lead this country with out regard to his high moral character and devotion towards the betterment of his country.  They do not question this man's integrity or his allegiance to those who wish to destroy the very fabric of FREEDOM that holds us together as a people as one should question the present occupant of the Oval office.  They hold this man unfit for office because they do not choose to agree with his religious faith. I feel if you would know more about his faith and its teachings on law and government maybe you would look on him more favorably or at least set aside the issue of his faith as an issue to his eligibility to hold the office of President.

Would Mitt Romney make a better President than Barack Obama?

      That is an unfair question.  As Glen Beck said, his grandmother's shoe would make a better president than Barack Obama.  The question is could a "Mormon" be a better president than Barack Obama.

Mormons and Government
          You will not hear any endorsements or discussion about politics in a meeting of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as a matter of principal such is discouraged. We feel that liberal democrats and communists are also the children of God and as such need to hear the message of the restored gospel like everyone else.  That is not to say that we hold such matters lightly and we are encouraged to be supportive of good government.  The church teaches, as I believe and understand that the Constitution is a divine document and is inspired of God, that the United States is a choice land set apart by God and will be the last sanctuary of freedom in the world in the last days.  Look around is this not true now as it was taught 180 year ago.  

      Joseph Smith was asked how he managed to govern a city of over 20,000 on the edge of the wilderness in Nauvoo, Illinois in 1843 he told them "I teach them correct principals and they govern themselves".
Brigham Young stated that he love the Constitution but went on to stated his contempt for the rascals who administered it.  I, like you, feel the same way today.

The Church and Freedom of Religion
I quote the articles of faith

11  We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.

All we ask is the same respect.

        In closing I offer you the rest of the articles of faith for you review to see if there is any thing in them that would prohibit a man from being a good President of these United States of American.

THE ARTICLES OF FAITH
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

History of the Church, Vol. 4, pp. 535–541

1  WE believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2  We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
3  We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
4  We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5  We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6  We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
7  We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
8  We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9  We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10  We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11  We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12  We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13  We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things.  If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

JOSEPH SMITH.

If Obama Must Go (OMG) where could you find a better man to replace him than a man that believes these things????????

Over Regulation – What Good is it doing?


Over Regulation – What Good is it doing?

Dear Congressman Jay Inslee
The biggest problem we have with government is there is too much government.
This oil pipe line deal is just another example of governerment over sight in the proper use of toilet paper
And the need for government to install cameras in every home and business to monitor mandated uses procedures.
Adding to cost over runs and delays in getting the job done.

And another example that has been report is the federal response to the tornado Damage in the south east.
Where is FEMA? They will be sending evaluations teams out to see what I already know from watching the news.
Namely every thing is gone. They might get there in a few week.

Who is helping now? “We The People are”! and doing a dam fine job.
Where is our government, are they totally absent? NO!
It would be better if they were.
Are They Helping people? NO!
Our wonderful government is there, as a first response in an emergency,
to over see the hand washing of the volunteers.
Volunteers from churches and even the neighbors, who themselves need assistant,
at their own expense are trying to get the victims something to eat.
It is good to see that they will all have clean hands in any case.

Governerment takes to long
Cost more money in all the programs and over sight and counting and allocating and
paying themselves to dam much money.
We the people under authority of the tenth amendment can do a far better job and
are doing a far better job than our wasteful governerment.
Mr. Congressman We need to cut out 40% of the federal budget
instead of over taxing the people who have the money to hire the people who are out of work.

A good place to start is the EPA that is an unregulated entity
that has been give its power by a congress
that has abdicated it’s responsibly to make laws by common consent. 
Over regulation and fines that have put the industry in this county on the ropes
are the result.

Another good to cut out all together place is FEMA. Arkansas and Mississippi had their schools running in half the time it took Louisiana and New Orleans,
that lead the cries of the lacking support from FEMA –
Oh Yes like everything else that has gone wrong since it was all Bushes fault,
I forgot about that.
FEMA is a waste of money.
If we the people have to do it any way and we are already doing a better job,
why should we send our dollars to Washington D.C. to feed all the (Expletives Deleted) and over paid bureaucrats? 

The Two biggest threats to freedom and free market capitalism in this country remain

(1) The apathy of those who do not VOTE
(2) The ignorance of the majority who do VOTE
The rest of our problems are just the symptoms.

And you wonder why the doctor told me to stop watching the news unless
I am overly medicated to a state of near coma toast.
Yes toast - Well done with butter on both sides.

"The United Socialist States of America how do you like that Name.

P.S.
One more question on the toilet paper issue.
Is the governerment going to steal from us to pay for the cameras
and insulation
or do the costs come under the heading of another unfunded mandate.
What about those on welfare and are unemployed will they be
subject to the same fines and imprisonment as the rest of us?

Mr. Edward Phillips
Silverdale, Washington 98383

Dear Mr. Phillips:

Thank you for contacting me regarding your support for the
proposed expansion
of the TransCanada Corporation's Keystone XL oil pipeline.
I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.

As you may know, on January 19, 2012,
President Obama rejected rapid
approval of the Keystone XL oil pipeline. 
The president stated that the decision
was not based on the merits of the pipeline,
but rather the fact that the February 21, 2012
decision deadline prevented the State Department
from gathering the necessary information
to both approve the project and protect the
American people. 
I believe that a decision of this magnitude requires a close look
at the impacts to the economy and environment. 
I will be sure to keep your thoughts in mind
as the decision process moves forward. 
I share your concern about America's dependence
on foreign oil and
I have been working in Congress toward
policies that can jumpstart a clean energy economy
and create local jobs. For example, I pushed for the
funding included in the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
that has funded domestic manufacturing
of advanced battery systems for electric vehicles.
I also introduced the Domestic Fuel
for Enhancing National Security Act (H.R. 1847),
which will enable the Department of Defense to
enter into longer-term contracts
to purchase advanced biofuels that can be grown
and refined in Washington state.
You may be happy to know that I am an
original cosponsor of H.R. 890,
American Renewable Energy Act of 2009.
H.R. 890 would create a national Renewable Electricity Standard
(RES) to increase renewable electricity use to 25 percent by 2025.
Adopting a RES of 25 percent is estimated t
o create more than 185,000 green jobs by 2020.
Moreover, because each wind turbine requires
between 220 and 400 tons of steel
to produce and workers to produce and maintain them,
a federal RES can create many thousands
of American jobs. Additionally, some studies indicate
that adopting a RES is projected
to save consumers money by reducing their energy costs.
For example, one such study showed that adopting
a national standardof 25 percent
is projected to save consumers $94 billion by 2030 by
lowering natural gas and electricity costs.

Again, thank you for taking the time to contact me
about such an important issue.

Romney Not a Christian


 Head Line Reads
     SBC’s Richard Land: Romney Not a Christian, Compares Mormonism to Islam
       "But both Graham and Land insisted that, despite differences in doctrine between Christians and Mormons, Christians could vote and that there should be no religious litmus test for the position. Graham also told MSNBC that Romney “would be a good president if he won the nomination because I think he’s got the strength, business-wise, politics-wise. He’s sharp guy. And he's proven himself.”
Then Goes on to say
      "Dr. Richard Land, a leading figure in the influential Southern Baptist Convention, tells Newsmax.TV he does not consider Mitt Romney and other Mormons to be Christians — and likens Mormonism to Islam."

      Land sates there should be no litmus test yet still goes on to attack Mitt Romney over religion I ask "Why"?

"When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser." 
— Socrates

There are two ways to have the best shined shoes.
One - You can work and out shine others by having a better method of shining shoes to show the world.
Two - You can go around trying to scuff up the shoes of others.

      The Southern Baptist Convention as a practice has Anti-Mormon classes as part of their regular Sunday program, in most places I am aware of and as well as other places I have heard of. Do the Southern Baptist have so little to offer the world that they have nothing better to do than to waste their time teaching others about the evils of Mormonism.
        If the Southern Baptists have a better program, than dose the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day, to share the message of the salvation of Jesus Christ, would it not be a better use of their time to share that message with the world? As Better Christians would they not be more interest in lifting others up to their standards rather than to go around misrepresent the practices of others?
         As a student wanting to know about Buddhism would it be a good idea to seek out a Catholic Priest for instruction or would I be better served looking up a Buddhist Monk from whom to be instructed?
       Like wise do I go to an ant-Mormon Baptist preacher to teach me the truth about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?
For more information about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint I will suggest you go to

         You will find no Anti-Baptist information there.  President Thomas S. Monson has a lot of things far important to do.

A few Questions for Dr. Richard Land

      “Islam is not a Christian faith. Mormonism is not a Christian faith,” Dr. Land said with emphasis".

        If Islam is not a Christian Faith as Dr. Land claims Why then is it stated in the Qu-ran:


       "When Jesus came with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), he said: I have come unto you with wisdom, and to make plain some of that concerning which ye differ. So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me."


      "And when 'Īsā (Jesus) came with (Our) clear Proofs, he said: "I have come to you with Al-Hikmah (Prophethood), and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) in which you differ, Therefore fear Allâh and obey me,"

      Note also that - "ALLAH " is made of two Arabic words - Al = The + LAH = God - Which God? The God of Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob, and yes Christians also.


     Like wise if the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are not Christians then why is the church called "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?





A testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
       During all his (Howard Hughes) years as a recluse, there were only a handful of people who saw him personally each day. This was the so-called "Mormon Mafia," which took orders from Bill Gay, chief of Hughes' Los Angeles office. Its mission consisted of feeding Hughes occasionally and drugging him regularly. 

       "Hughes' considerable business holdings were overseen by a small panel unofficially dubbed "The Mormon Mafia" because of the many Latter-day Saints on the committee"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Hughes

       "
While in Las Vegas, Hughes employed key aides who belonged to the Church of Latter Day Saints. Mormons were prohibited from doing two things he did not do—drink alcohol and smoke. Hughes was known to dine on TV dinners and fast-food sandwiches while watching movies in his darkened hotel suite at the Desert Inn. He was also addicted to painkillers. Some biographers allege that his aides, nicknamed the "Mormon Mafia," deliberately cut him off from the outside world and enabled his addiction to painkillers. For years, he communicated with his aide, Maheu, only by phone or written notes—one of Hughes' highest ranking employees never met his employer face-to-face. Hughes became so reclusive that Governor Laxalt insisted on talking to him by phone in 1968 to make sure he was really alive."

Dummar may have told truth after all

Mormons Wield Influence in Business
      "Former Presidential candidate Mitt Romney may be the most recognizable Mormon, but members of his faith, which account for only 2 percent of the US population, have lots of influence in big money—both on Wall Street and throughout the business world."
http://www.cnbc.com/id/37872991/Mormons_Wield_Influence_in_Business

The Big Question
       Why did the paranoid Howard Hughes in his last days surround himself with Mormons who were dubbed the Mormon mafia because of the power they had over Howard Hughes's affairs? 
        I have tried to finding the answer quoted on line that I know can be shoved aside as hear say.  None the less I saw on Television an interview where reporters were swarming around Howard and one reporter asked, "Why do you hire so many Mormons"? He answered "Because they are the only ones I can trust."  I offer that to be the reason Mormons do well in business, they can be trusted.

       Mitt Romney will never need to say "I did not have sex with that woman" and he also knows the meaning of words like "IS".

         Romney can be trusted and is a man of high Moral character because he is a Mormon, not in spite of the fact he is a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

     The Two biggest threats to freedom and free market capitalism in this country remain

(1) The apathy of those who do not VOTE
(2) The ignorance of the majority who do VOTE
The rest of our problems are just the symptoms.

And you wonder why the doctor told me to stop watching the news unless
