Atleast according to according to authoritative Christian bodies, National Council of Churches, Evangelical, Roman Catholics and Orhtodox councils, Mormonism is not Christian and to wit, none of these councils has admitted any Mormon body to their bodies. Is this not correct?<br /><br />Mormons, Jews, Muslims or Atheists or anyone of any faith or none should not be overlooked for elective office because of their particular confession- but if those of a different faith pretend to be something that they are not, that is a cause for concern. For some Christians, this could mislead people and have spiritual consequences as well. That is where the problem arises for many. This is not to say that many values, outlooks and phiosophies are not shared (indeed many moral precepts among those of different religions are shared - but that does not make a Jew a Christians, or Christians a Muslim. Likewise, Mormons are unique and not any of the aforementioned religions. <br /><br /> Be Mormon, be proud, be yourself, celebrate your history, cuture and beliefs. Be who you are - and this problem of electing a Mormon will disappear as it should.Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456481742336858878noreply@blogger.com
