There's a cute saying in Christian circles that "The heart of the problem is a problem of the heart." I'm not sure we should be repackaging God, but it's a cute way of saying what God already said through the prophet Jeremiah (a REAL prophet):


That is, you can try to be good. You can try to choose the right. You can try to love your wife or your neighbor (or your enemy) or try to stop sinning on your own. You can try to be perfect - which is one of the few things Mormons and Christians agree is required to enter heaven. But until the Triune God (Father, Son and Holy Ghost) comes to live in you, you will fail, because, try as you might, until God gives you a new heart, you will be captive to your heart of stone. (Ezekiel 26:26 This is also why praying to find the truth (a.k.a. "following your heart") won't work.)

Oh, you may think you're doing pretty well. No one in our country thinks they're going to hell for their sins. Nor will anyone warn you same, despite the fact they know Jesus is called a "Savior." (What does He save people from?) Maybe you have a temple recommend. Maybe your bishop or your church or your friends tell you you're worthy. Maybe you, like Martin Luther of the Reformation, even sacrifice a lot, trying to please God as YOU think fit, to the point you bloody your knees. (To which I ask, when do you know you've done enough?) But even if you martyr yourself, as the Muslims do for their god, believing that will get them to heaven, remember what the Apostle Paul warned if we lack one crucial element:


You will only find yourself spinning your wheels like Paul before he was saved. As Saul the Pharisee, he tried to keep the Law, knowing it was good. But try as hard as he might, he couldn't. Recounting his past life in vivid terms in the latter half of Romans Chapter  7, he lamented over his past life, saying,


He realized his condition was so bad - and this guy regularly went to the temple (a REAL temple)  - he, like the story of the tax gatherer and the Pharisee, called himself wretched.


Of course, the answer is: The True God of the Bible will rescue from death. He alone can save us. But to do so, He has to come and live in you. But you have to ask Him in. You have to die to self and be born again of The Spirit. When that happens, He gives you a new heart, which brings that "something special" in the Scripture above. Namely, the True Love of the True God. As the Apostle John said,

So not only does the Holy Ghost come to live in you, as does Jesus, but also God the Father.

No, Mormon, we're not talking about the "spirit" of God living in you, your typical cultic dodge. We're talking specifically about God the Father. But your "heavenly father" can't live in you because your god is a puny little man with a body of flesh and bone living on another planet. It's impossible for him to literally live in you. But the God of the Bible can, because He's an infinite spirit. The God of the Bible is not at all like your little god.

Okay, end of sermon. What's the point? The point is, Mitt Romney is a Liberal. And the heart of his problem is a problem of his heart, as I'll show. And we have TheProudDuck to thanks for this proof. although any Mormon could have supplied it too.

Here's what Mr. Duck said:


If I may quack for Mr. Duck, he is referring to the Mormon concept of "modern day revelation." (Exactly what constitutes an "off-the-reservation" comment by one of his former leaders? Anything he disagrees with now? Anything embarrassing now? I didn't make this stuff up. What he says is "off-the-reservation" now was clearly on the reservation then and he would have been excommunicated from the church then for not parroting it.) He is acknowledging that what the leaders of the Mormon church taught earlier is not necessarily what the leaders of the church teach today. (And, by extension, what they teach today will not necessarily be what they will teach tomorrow.) This is basic Mormonism, as I document next. As is unfortunately true in our legal system (think IRS tax code), the double minded implication is that when early Mormon leaders spoke back then, it was truth. Back THEN. (Until the last reversal.) But today, what was taught then is not necessarily truth now. As with George Orwell's Animal Farm, some truths are more equal than others. (And like his book 1984 and Ingsoc, classic revising of history.)

From the church's own newspaper (yes, they own a newspaper in Salt Lake. And they bought out the other (hostile) one, in a highly contested lawsuit in which the Mormon church was a party. And - surprise! - the judge was Mormon!. But the good Mormon judge wouldn't recuse himself as required by law, despite being asked repeatedly. Guess which way he ruled? Here's a complaint of judicial misconduct all about it filed against Mormon federal Judge Ted Stewart.  And don't get me started about the church buying up public streets and arresting people to silence critics! The judge in that case, Judge Kimball, was Mormon too! Even some Mormons saw the impropriety of that!).... okay, from the church's own newspaper:


And that is the heart of the Liberal problem. You see, Christian, in Mormonism, like Liberalism, the rules are always changing. (The temple ceremony changed again in 2005 without fanfare, presumably to minimize patrons being "felt up.") See, their god is just a man. He's constantly evolving, leaning new things. Their god is growing older, eternally progressing. As Mittet said, their god is "coming of age." Continuously.

This ought to choke the Conservative. (If you aren't choked up, maybe you're not really a Conservative? Remember my link about Mormons being RINO's.) Think Justice Breyer, Justice Scalia and their very public debates on the Constitution. Justice Breyer, the Liberal, thinks the Constitution is a "living, breathing" document. Don't like what it says? Get a new revelation! Put something in there that wasn't in there before. Find a penumbra to make the original authors say something about murdering babies that never entered their minds. Put in your own personal policy preferences.

Contrast this to Justice Scalia, who thinks rules are rules. The Constitution says of itself that it's the "Supreme Law of the Land." The Rules are not changed by some judge interpreting it for us.

Walter Williams is correct when he says


When the rules are constantly in flux, they have no meaning. It doesn't matter what is written because the rules are constantly being RE-written. Even now, on Drudge Radio, I'm listening to Hillary Clinton talk about working hard and "playing by the rules." So you play by the rules, set up a tax deferred IRA, only to find later they tax is more than they promised? Or maybe you work your butt off to become a legal citizen, paying your dues, only to see afterward that your illegal countrymen were given amnesty and a free ride. Is that Liberal or Conservative? (Hint: Hillary is a Liberal.)

But you see, for Mormons, the bible, their own Book of Mormon, their own Doctrine & Covenants are "living and breathing." Any of their books can be changed at any time. And have been. Even reversing wholesale what was said before. (Polygamy. Blacks.) Contrast this to Conservative Christians who run to the Bible for spiritual matters, and the Constitution for constitutional ones. We don't think it right to change the Bible to make God say, "Nevermind what I said in Leviticus 20:13 (and again in Deuteronomy and again in Romans 1:27). I changed my mind. I now ordain homosexual marriage."

But the Mormon church makes fun of those who think the Bible is inerrant. From their latest version of the Book of Mormon:


So the reason Mitt Romney is a Liberal is because his core religious beliefs are Liberal. By definition. His core beliefs are living and breathing, subject to redaction or revision - even reversal - at any time. His prophet could have a revelation tomorrow, countermanding what has "always" been. Or he could have a change in personal revelation himself. No wonder he can be pro-life, then pro-death, and then pro-life. Just like his god, he's PROGRESSING. And you know what "Progressive" is code for.

If you don't want a Liberal for President, then you don't want a Mormon for President. This cycle, that would be Mormon Mitt Romney.
