Perry defends pastor's "Mormonism cult" comments

[JeremiahLawrenceTV]

your faith determines your standards of morality

[SmokeAndDiamonds13]

Judging someone simply on what religion they practice (whether christianity, judaism, islam, or mormonism in this case) is, to me, like judging someone by their race. They all believe in one common God. Our Founding Fathers wanted to start America based on RELIGIOUS FREEDOM from Britain. George Washington is probably rolling in his grave right now to think that our country is still stuck back in the 1600's where society is so close-minded. I believe in acceptance, not accusations.

[BingsTV]

@SmokeAndDiamonds13: Mormons believe there are millions of Gods - and if they are good Mormons, they may become Gods, Do you really want a President who believes he's a potential God?

Mormons claim the God of Earth (Eloheim) lives near a star called Kolob. Joseph Smith prophesied the US government will face a Constitutional crisis. The Mormon Church will take charge and save the country. I live in Utah - it is a Theaocracy. You DON'T want a Mormon President and his Mormon cabinet - trust me.

[rltroup33]

mormonism is a troubling cult religion...romney believes in some far out stuff that conflicts with the bible

read book "one nation under gods"

[erniehudson1]

I wonder if mitt romney is wearing magic underwear while he is debating and trying to come acroos as a reasonable candidate

[jmaice21]

@erniehudson1 You are so ignorant erniehudson1 Maybe you should actually know what you're talking about before you star rattling incoherent garbabge!

[erniehudson1]

@jmaice21 are mormons wearing magic underwear or not? and is it a reasonable position to believe in magic undis or not?

[ChromeToasterInc]

@erniehudson1 "Magic Undies"? No, it's a symbol of our religion, something we wear to feel closer to god. It's no different than wearing a cross around your neck.

[Celebrity729]

And the greatest cult of this nation is, "The Federal Government"

Thumbs up if you agree :)

[jayhawk88z]

LDS are a cult

[VislerStudios]

@jayhawk88z

you're mom's a cult

[briantelesh]

It would be novel to see all of the First Ladies if Romney is elected. Which sister wife gets the Lincoln bedroom?

[johnkerry7]

i wonder if Mitt would be that noble in defense of Muslims or Atheists?

[123NateDee]

America do you really want an ignorant MORMON for president?!?!

[CitySlicker0]

@123NateDee yes



[diverstud16]

@123NateDee please and thank you.

[jayhawk88z]

LDS are a cult

[sing1dance1forever]

@jayhawk88z You are so ignorant.

[bananabell1216]

Romney 2012.

[maxroachtribute]

1992, Mitt Romney was running Bain Capital, the private equity bought American Pad & Paper Co. (Ampad) for $5 million.

Over next several years Romney's firm bled the company dry. Hundreds of workers lost jobs. Stockholders were left with worthless shares. Creditors/vendors paid less than 50 cents on the dollar. While they exploited the company, Romney's firm charged Ampad millions of dollars in "management fees." In all, Romney and his investors reaped $100 million dollars plus from the deal.

[OnThe23rd]

Dumb and dumber.

[Crunchcj]

Very well said, Mit! Perry is a dumb, stuttering and incompetent christian.

[hiphoppacmotion]

what gave the initial mormon leader (I think 200-300 years ago) to add to the Bible? I guess mitt romney can add to the Bible as well if he's elected lol. Just kidding!!

[DillonDee1]

@2wives1prophet --

Parley Pratt is Romney's ancestor who was an appostle of Joseph Smith & also had multiple wives & who also took wives who were already married to other men --1 of whom shot & killed him

[DinkiDidog]

Mitt Romney is spoken like a true moral "Liberal". The Liberals will champion his stance....

[thewowdude15]

Awww ya son, praise to the lord! Mormons ftw son.

[aexpiacao]

@2wives1prophet Between 3 and 5% of early LDS practiced polygamy. It was a calling back then. It wasn't something that everyone did. It was discontinued over 110 years ago. Get over it. I've been to all Black lds churches in Brazil. They are so happy to have the restored church of Jesus Christ.

[aexpiacao]

@2wives1prophet Go ahead and read it. Moses, Abraham, and King David had multiple wives. All Were Biblical Prophets of God. So I take it you denounce the Bible then Too? Of course you dont. You believe the Bible just like I do. You just fail to understand that Joseph Smith had multiple wives just like other Biblical Prophets. Another interesting fact is Just like the Priesthood was not allowed to all before 1978, the same rights were only held for the Levits in the Time of Moses.

[aexpiacao]

@2wives1prophet Please expose us. The smart people know what is true and what isn't. Please expose away. LDS.org everybody!

[aexpiacao]

@2wives1prophet You are uneducated. lds.org for all your questions. These accusations are too easy to clear up. in 3 minutes you could learn the truth but instead you base your understandings on hate and ignorance.

[TheSkepticChristian]

@aexpiacao 2wives1prophet believes in the 9/11 conspiracy theory, he rejects the scientific community, National Geographic, and even peer reviewed papers from a respected engineering Journal.

He won't listen to anything that you tell him.

[omiolo2]

The problem is that there are some people or religions we are still encouraged to hate and disparage.

[Iambigcougar]

We can choose our president on anythig we want to. Religion is certainly part of it, but not all.

[sadieaugust]

HAHAHA, Like Bill Burton, all of us WWE fans were loving how Rick Perry was getting under Romney’s skin and making him holler for Anderson Cooper’s help. Everyone should be asking themselves what we were all asking ourselves, “Is this Richie Rich character Mitt Romney gonna call Anderson Cooper for help if he were President?” Like Bill Burton said, “Rick Perry should have asked Romney that question.” WWE fans love Rick Perry! WWE fans rule, Romney’s Cheering Mormons suck!

[buddo1999]

Perry is correct! We do not need another cult in office! Mormons teach that Jesus Christ is the “brother of Satan!” Ask Romney if he believes that! Yes he does! We cannot expect a country to be run on such a fairy tale mind!! A mans faith us always the underlying principle he clings to...When Romney prays, he prays to a false God through “Joseph Smith” He is Romney’s salvation!?

[KnightxxArrow]

Who cares if Romney's a Mormon. I love Mormon people they are the most nicest people on earth.

[kightsun]

The thing is, mormons who go the the temple, basically give their alligence to the LDS church, and if it was done before '93 then it would be under the threat of death, it any of the secrets were to be revealed.

[MrFuckhed]

@Steadno thats the only good thing they have going for them

[SynikaI]

@Steadno You have no idea. I am Mormon and we have NOTHING against black people. We're probably the least racist people on the planet. I have seen many African Americans in my church and love them greatly.

[llegalPlayer]

@SynikaI you LIE!You MORmONS do have a PROBLEM WITH BLACK SKIN READ YOUR BOOK!

". . . wherefore, as they were WHITE and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a SKIN of BLACKNESS to come upon them (BOOK OF MORmON 2 Nephi 5:21)."

Here the MORMON GOD turns the BLACK SKIN back to WHITE Skinn because they REPENTED

"And their curse was taken from them, and their skin became WHITE like unto the Nephites" (BOOK OF MORmON3 Nephi 2:15).

[aexpiacao]

@llegalPlayer , Nope. We love everyone. God has cursed people because of unrighteousness since the beginning of time. Changing the skin color of this one group of people is only one of many instances of different curses put on individual unrighteous groups. If you want to get bent out of shape about it, that's your problem, but color and race don't divide our members. More LDS members live outside the U.S then in and they come from all colors.

[llegalPlayer]

@aexpiacao you are Another Lying MORmON!God has not CURSED anyone with BLACK SKIN in the HOLY BIBLE!Only in your BOOK of MORmON and from your MORmON PROPHETS!

...Cain...HE BECAME THE FATHER OF AN INFERIOR RACE...MILLIONS OF SOULS HAVE COME INTO THIS WORLD CURSED WITH A BLACK SKIN and have been denied the privilege of Priesthood..." (The Way to Perfection,Joseph Fielding Smith,pages 101-102.)

"Cain was cursed with a dark skin;he became the father of the negroes..."Mormon Doctrine 1966 page 109.

[aexpiacao]

@llegalPlayer Ever since biblical times, the Lord has designated through His prophets who could receive the priesthood and other blessings of the gospel. Among the tribes of Israel, for example, only men of the tribe of Levi were given the priesthood and allowed to officiate in certain ordinances. Likewise, during the Savior’s earthly ministry, gospel blessings were restricted to the Jews.

[aexpiacao]

Only after a revelation to the Apostle Peter were the gospel and priesthood extended to others (see Acts 10:1–33; 14:23; 15:6–8).

With the revelation to President Kimball in 1978, the priesthood is now available to all worthy male members regardless of race or ethnicity (see Official Declaration 2). Each candidate for ordination is interviewed by priesthood leaders to ensure that he understands and agrees to live by established principles of righteousness (DC 84:33–44; 121:34–46).

[aexpiacao]

We are in the latter days, hence the name of the church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. All Nations, creeds, tounges, are being brought into the Church. All are welcome. All are being gathered. God's time is not our time. God's ways are higher then ours. The time has come when all are gathered.

[llegalPlayer]

@aexpiacao stop with your MORmON LIES!You did not address the BLACK SKIN CURSES your BOOK of MORmON & PROPHETS teach,This RACIST trash is not taught in the HOLY BIBLE!

LDS MORmON PROPHET Joseph Smith stated:

"....The Lamanites, through transgression, became a loathsome, ignorant and filthy people, and were CURSED with a SKIN of DARKNESS..."

:The Latter-Day Saints Millennial Star, vol. 14, p. 418 "

"...the Lord God did cause a SKIN of BLACKNESS to come upon them (Book of MORmON 2 Nephi 5:21)."

[loops300]

@llegalPlayer this question usally stumps me beause i know how its feels like, having my ansesters( the lamanites) have been cusrsed with dark skin because of there transgreessions. it almost seemed unfair to me. it seemed unfair that black people didn't get the preisthood untill 1978, almost 10 years after the civil rights acts. i could have let my pride and anger got me and i could of quit because of that. but i knew not too because if they really were racist they would have never let us in.

[llegalPlayer]

@loops300 Joseph Smith"...rebellious NIGGERS... " (Millennial Star,22:602;)."

Are the Mormons abolitionists?No,unless delivering the people from priestcraft, and the priests from the power of Satan,should be considered abolition.But we do not believe in setting the negroes free.Joseph Smith,History of the Church,v.3,p.29

Joseph Smith:

Had I anything to do with the negro,I would confine them by strict law to their own species,and put them on a national equalization"(History of the Church,5:218)

[llegalPlayer]

@loops300 You should be asking your self ,WHY the GOD of the HOLY BIBLE NEVER TEACHES that BLACK SKIN is a CURSE or that BLACKS are cursed from the priesthood & only the MORmONS teach this?

LDS MORmON APOSTLE MARK E. PETERSON:

... At least in the cases of the LAMANITES and the NEGROES we have the definite word of the Lord Himself that He placed a DARK SKIN upon them as a CURSE ... (Race Problems--As They Affect the Church, August 27, 1954, address at CES convention at Brigham Young University)

[loops300]

@llegalPlayer We believe its the same God. Have you ever thougt to yourself what that mark of Cain was.

Most of the stuff you use agenst us was in the past even thou it dose explain the history of the church, think now in 2011. Black people got evey blessing in our chruch including the preisthood. we do not jude them any more baised form there transgressions form there ansester anmore. Why? the gusses is as good as yours. The Lord will reveel all in time.

[llegalPlayer]

@loops300 all you LDS MORmONS do is tell LIES! YOUR GOD IS A MAN THAT BECAME A GOD!

"God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted Man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens. That is the great secret...that he was once a man like us...you have got to learn how to become Gods yourselves, and to be kings and priests to God, the same as all Gods have done before you...God himself,the father of us all dwelt on an earth the same as Jesus Christ."Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 342-345

[loops300]

@llegalPlayer we are made in God's own image.explain how we he would makes us without a body of flesh and bone. remeber in his own image.

[llegalPlayer]

@loops300 You LDS MORmONS don't WORSHIP the same GOD AS CHRISTIANS READ-->

LDS MORmON PROPHET Gordon B. Hinckley SAID HE WORSHIPS A DIFFERENT JESUS CHRIST!

"No I don't believe in the traditional Christ. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak. For the Christ of whom I speak has been revealed in this the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times." Gordon B. Hinckley, Deseret News, Church News section, Salt Lake City, Utah, week ending June 20, 1998, p.7

[loops300]

@llegalPlayer well I believe that God is in the Bible and in the Book of Mormon and i believe he is same today, yesterday and forever. Again the Book of Mormen iss another testament of the Jesus Christ in the Bible.

[aexpiacao]

@llegalPlayer God the Father and Jesus Christ themselves restored the actual church of Jesus Christ in our times. The original church of Christ was lost and warped by the understanding of men after all the apostles and ordained leaders of Jesus Christs church were killed. The original church of Jesus Christ exists in in its entirety now with Christ at it's head a prophet and 12 apostles. go to lds.org

[loops300]

@aexpiacao llegalplayer banned me from commenting on his vedios, look at Black Christians vs Mormen Missionaries on his channal. all i said was "brass may turn black due to ashes after puting ligther fluied on it and setting it a fire, but have you ever seen brass come out of furnace (burned in) , its glowing bright. thats what Revelations is point at. the heavenly glow witch explains the statment "his countenance was as the sun shineth in his the strength" Revelation 1:16"

[TheSkepticChristian]

@llegalPlayer Stop quoting things out of context.

Go get yourself a girlfriend, and stop bothering us on Youtube.

Its obvious that you haven't even read the Old Testament.

[loops300]

@llegalPlayer why did you banned me from commenting on your video. i wasnt lieing on the brass part.

[aexpiacao]

@llegalPlayer God has cursed individual/individual groups of people for disobedience to his commandment over and over. God has done it in many different ways. Pick and chose your battles buddy. I gave you our stance and declaration on the subject. You can hate all you want, but it wont do you any good. I love African decent people. I lived in Brazil for 2 years. Entire LDS churches full of Black people down there.

[SynikaI]

@llegalPlayer Your point is? What, did you think Black skin came from a mutation or something? LOL

[Steadno]

@SynikaI one of your holy books, pearl of great price, book of mormon or whatever says that i another black people are cursed and thats why we are black. joseph smith and brighem young both spoke bad about us too. you need to research this!

[aexpiacao]

@Steadno go talk to a African decent member of the chruch the LDS chruch. or just goto LDS.org. You can clear up your doubts there. I live in Brazil. There are entire LDS churchs full of black members there. The church thrives outside of the U.S. There are more members outside of the U.S then in. Black members have all the rights of any member in our church. ALL RIGHTS.

[Steadno]

@aexpiacao i have and thats where i learned about the history of your wicked, evil and racisit cult. its STILL IN LDS BOOKS so trying to deny it is no use.

[loops300]

@aexpiacao If am right please post it on he's video if you can
