Marco Rubio, Mormon-Turned-Catholic

Mormonism is not a Christian religion. Mormons do not follow the Bible, they follow the Book of Mormon which contradicts the Bible. Get your facts straight!

Mormonism is not a Christian religion. They are not monotheistic, nor do they believe in the Trinity. They use many of the same words but mean different things by them. The “Christ” they believe in is not the Christ seen in the Bible.

Uomo Del Ghiaccio — Could not agree more.

We are the laughing stock of the rest of the western world. The founders of this country were right. Pretty soon, maybe even this year, no person will qualify because of his past or present religious affiliation. This emphasis on one particular christian belief will, for instance, make any Jewish person automatically ineligible for higher office. Is this type of country we really want?

There is so much inane ignorance in many of the comments above. I was raised as a Mormon, so I have actual knowledge of the theology, unlike the ignoramus, Don and LBS. Mormons ABSOLUTELY do believe in God, the father, Jesus Christ, the son, and the Holy Ghost. They believe the Bible to be the word of God, and ALL of the other tenets of Christianity. They, like all other established Christian organizations, have some additional texts and dogma not defined in the Bible. If you are totally ignorant of a theology’s tenets, you shouldn’t spout-off as if you do. Makes you seem stupid!

Who cares?? The ABC attack machine at work again…

So what if he converted to the Catholic faith – at least he has a religion he believes in – can we say the same about the guy occupying the WH right now? Oh right, he prays to the holy grail abusing the taxpayers and seeing how much more of our dollars he can spend. I don’t care who the President worships, what I want is someone who is going to do the job we elected him to do and this one isn’t doing it at all.

Is it true Mormons believe Jesus was a prophet and not the son of God? A relative who is Catholic could not attend his Mormon daughter’s wedding in the Mormon temple? Now, how Chirstian is THAT? NOT.

Oh dear Ann, like the others you spout anger in the tone of your note, however if you did your homework, you could come to class prepared.

No matter your religion, it will be opposed by another religion. That’s the way of religions, they are divisive. Acknowledge God, but don’t acknowledge church. We waste too much time and too many resources on this topic.

Why should we care? What makes this news worthy? Front page? – Really?

This is an obvious attempt to smear the person Obama and Democrats are terrified of in the general election. Democrats need the Latino vote to win, and having Rubio on the ticket would lose them a lot of votes. But if they can smear him and convince Hispanics he isn’t really Catholic, problem solved right?

If we’re going to dig into the man’s past that far and try and make something irrelevant a headline story, at least TRY not to make the bias so obvious. A son born to a Muslim man is by Islamic law a Muslim. Obama’s father (and step-father for that matter) were Muslim. So, even if he practices Christianity, according to the logic behind this Rubio story, there should be headlines on ABC and MSNBC about Obama being Muslim when he was young. But no, the left would SCREAM racism if he was subjected to equal scrutiny, wouldn’t they?

Stupid. That’s the best word I can think of for this kind of “reporting.” I bet this backfires and strengthens support for Rubio instead of weakening it.

The whole reason the Mormon Church exists is bogus. Joseph Smith claimed that all of the “Christian churches” were false, so he was told to start his own. Well which “Mormon church” is the real one? There is the Brigham Young Utah version, and the Joseph Smith Missouri version, and the Community Of Christ version and the Reformed Mormon Church version. So, if Mormonism is the true religion, how come so many different versions of it?

I, Anne Frank, am also a Mormon.

The Book of Mormon and the Bible agree, but both are at odds with some Christian traditions.

One more thought:

The gospel of the Old Testament was a lesser law. God had given Moses his law, but his people were not ready, so instead they received a lesser law of the ten commandments. When Christ arrived, he taught a higher law noting that all the ten commandments could be wrapped into loving God and thy Neighbor. Mormons believe that after the apostacy, largely accelerated by the Council of Nicea, God new he would need to return as he had before and reestablish his principles of truth, if the promises of the second coming of Christ were to be fulfilled. We call it the Last Dispensation, opened by Joseph Smith at the request of God the Father and Jesus Christ. With this dispensation came the fullness of the Gospel principles. All the Law, including awareness of heaven and the ordinances necessary to keep family bonds eternally. This we believe was forseen by God and is part of his plan. So in Christs time he was seen as being contrary to the Law of Moses, so then are Mormons contray to the tradition of Christinaity.

But with the advancment of technology going at light speed times a hundred. ABC is doing what everybody is doing and that is trying to stay relevant and on top of the game. And that means having journalist’s push out 3 stories a day and as I checked under Mr. Negrin 122 recent articles pushed out. But ufourtunatly for consumer’s we suffer because as in most anything, more quanity means less quality. The only Authority on whom is part of Christianity and whom is not could only come from the leaders, theologion’s, philosiphor’s, teacher’s, preacer’s and believer’s in Christianity. And I assure you, from Jesus to his disiples, to every Christian inbetween. You will not get one to say that your statement is true. You might get a lot of Mormon’s claiming to be part of Christianity, they might say they believe in Jesus or read the Bible like we do. But the are wrong. In Christianity the Bible is the infallable Word of God. And it teaches their is only one way to Heaven. And that way is through Belief in Jesus. You must accept Jesus as your Savior and believe he died for your sins. And he was crucified and resurrected 3 days later to show his apostles he had overcame death and to give them and promise them that future generations shall have the Holy Spirit which was also God in them. These are what we call the absolutes. That Jesus is God that he was sent to earth to die for our sins, that he was born of Mary whom was a Virgin, and Jesus was sinless the entire time on earth. We belive in the Trinity meaning God the Father, Jesus the Son, and The Holy Spirit are all One and all God. And that their are no other God’s. And when you accept Jesus into your life that you become born again, not of the flesh but of the Spirit. So thats a real crash course. But you will not be able to find a Christian that disagrees with what I said, just as you would never find a Mormon that will say they believe what I have just said. Christianity accepts Chatholic’s, Baptist’s Luthren’s are part of Christianity. But the bible clearly states that these Religion’s are not from God. Mormonism, Hinduism, Buddism, Judaism, and many more. So I believe Matt Negrin should retract his statement until he finds a source within Christianity to back him up.

I think it is so funny how so many of you are telling “Mormons” what they believe. If they tell you that they believe in the Bible and the same Christ from the Bible… then shut up! Morons… don’t tell them what they believe, maybe you can listen for a change?
