By definition, Jesus is an Anti-Mormon.
He says Mormon "apostles" are false.
Take a hint
In
the last book of the Bible, The Revelation of Jesus Christ, Jesus sends
seven letters to seven churches. (Hey, Mormon, which of those seven churches was true?) Most of the letters contain warnings. While
these churches were seemingly doing well, Jesus was not happy. They had
compromised and He threatened to remove most of them.
Check out what He said to the church at Ephesus. It's still timely for today.
I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. (Rev 2:2)
Now, what church today claims to have apostles? Mitt Romney 's church, of course!
But
an apostle was someone who saw Jesus after the Resurrection (Acts 1:21-22) and could give an eye witness testimony of same. Therefore, Mormon "apostles" are false.
It's not what you say, it's how you (don't) say it.
Even Hugh Hewitt knows this. (At least intellectually. He doesn't seem to take it to heart though.) When Mr. Hewitt explained to ABC reporter
Jake Tapper Friday how he got interested in Mormonism,
Mr. Hewitt explained how he eventually met so-called Mormon "Apostle" Neal Maxwell. But that's not how he said it yesterday.
The
"transparent" (NOT!) Mr. Hewitt didn't use the title "Apostle."
Instead, he referred to Neal Maxwell as "a member of the quorum of the
Twelve."
While
the Catholic church is guilty of the same heresy as the Mormon church,
wrongly believing joining "the church" is necessary for salvation (and that
THEY are that
"ONE true church,)
at least they don't have the audacity to claim they have "apostles," as
the Mormon church does. (But they both claim to have the now obsolete "priesthood." Hmmmm... what do they do with all the blood from the animal sacrifices? For that is what the Jewish priests did all day.)
While the Catholic church claims
"apostolic succession," and while that presumably means that somehow their current pope inherited apostolic authority, still, they don't call the pope an apostle. They call him "Father."
(Contrary to Jesus' command in the Bible.)
That sent me out across the country to talk to a variety of
religious leaders about what they believed and why, and one of them was
a fellow by the name of Neal Maxwell, then a member of the quorum of
the 12, the second highest authority in the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints. And I became friendly with him.
You know, if the Bible is correct,
then Mr. Maxwell is in hell
now because he never found the only acceptable remedy for his sin.
(Barring some last minute repudiation of the Mormon jesus and recognition of the real Jesus that we
didn't hear about.)
One wonders if Mr. Hewitt warned his "good
friend" about this? And what was that the Apostle Paul—a real Apostle—said
about being unequally yoked ("good friends") with unbelievers anyway?
See 2 Cor 6:14.Mr.
Hewitt may be a lot of things, but he's not dumb. He knows the
"A" word is a no-no anymore. It's just too goofy (or creepy) to most Americans to claim to
have the 12 apostles in your church. Even non-Christians think it's
goofy. (I have a story somewhere of some high level businessmen
laughing and giggling after a trip to Salt Lake City where they were
introduced to the 12 Apostles.)
According to Mr. Hewitt, that makes them, me, and Jesus, anti-Mormon "bigots." Choose this day whom you will serve. I'll stick with Jesus.
Don't vote for Mitt Romney. His Mormon cult, complete with 12 "apostles" (AND a "living prophet") is just too goofy. (And creepy.) Unless you've come out of Mormonism yourself or live in a Mormon enclave, you really can't know how Mormons think. There's no predicting what Mitt Romney will do as President, except to know he's bound to do what his church leadership tells him to do. Go ahead. Be a bigot like Jesus. Don't put a Mormon in the White House.
