It is frequently said that Mitt Romney’s Mormon religious beliefs are irrelevant because, as the common refrain goes, “We are electing a President not a Priest.”

Yet if Willard Mitchell Romney is elected as the nation’s 45th President, we would, ironically enough, actually be electing a priest president.

And while many may not think that Romney’s religious beliefs will influence how he governs, the core tenets of Romney’s own faith say otherwise.

Romney, who is a 5th generation high temple Mormon priest and great-great- grandson of Joseph Smith’s right hand man Parley Pratt (a major leader of the Mormon Church who was murdered by the estranged husband of his 12th wife) has frequently stated that he takes his Mormon faith “very seriously.”

The same polytheistic “faith” whose core doctrines, covenants, and prophetic pronouncements state that:

The Bible on its own can’t be trusted and that we can only understand it through the “revelations” of the Mormon “prophet” Joe Smith. (Mormon Doctrine, p. 670)

Jesus is the “spirit brother of Lucifer” and not God in the flesh. (Mormon Doctrine, p. 163.)

There is no hell. (Mormon Doctrine, p. 348)

Blacks have the “mark of Cain” (“a flat nose and black skin”) “and are cursed.” (Journal of Discourses, 7:290)

Women are inferior to men. (19th-century LDS leader Erastus Snow preached: “No woman will get into the celestial kingdom, except her husband receives her, if she is worthy to have a husband; and if not, somebody will receive her as a servant.”)

God came from another planet, has a body of flesh and bones like man’s and has a goddess wife, and we can become literal gods. (Journal of Discourses, vol. 2, p. 345; Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 7, p. 333)

Only Mormons inherit the afterlife in the “celestial kingdom” and that there is no salvation outside the Mormon Church. (Mormon Doctrine, p. 670).

So, is it really fair to say that Romney’s deeply-held religious beliefs are irrelevant when Romney himself has sworn a blood oath in a secret Mormon temple ceremony to obey the Mormon Church and its prophet above the U.S. Constitution?

Go ahead and vote for the most radically pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, anti- family governor in U.S. History if you subscribe to what I believe to be the totally un-Biblical, utilitarian, and morally-relativistic “lesser of two evils” construct.

But let’s not delude ourselves that if we elect Romney to the office of the presidency, we’re not electing a priest whose primary allegiance is to the polytheistic, anti-Christical Mormon “church”, its “prophet”, and their apostate beliefs (and not to the United States Constitution.)

The more I think about the overall moral, cultural, and economic decline of America, the clearer it becomes to me that we are, indeed, a nation under judgment just as Israel was throughout the Bible every time they rejected God.

While I am vehemently opposed to our usurper “president” and his continued effort to bring our nation to its knees and push us into international government, I have come to realize that Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Frank, and the rest of the Democrat-Socialists are merely a symptom of the underlying problem that plagues our nation.

I believe that ultimately, we are getting the government we deserve. Although there is no doubt that our country was founded predominantly by evangelical Christians on Judeo-Christian values and beliefs, I believe that Obama was mostly correct when he asserted that we are “no longer a Christian nation.”

After all, does a “Christian nation’s” “conservative-Christian” leaders:

• Endorse and promote political candidates such as Mitt Romney who illegally imposed sodomy-based “marriage” and established abortion with a $50 co-pay as a “healthcare benefit?”

• Endorse a man for president, Rudy Giuliani, on his third marriage, estranged from his kids, who supports homosexual “marriage” and tax-payer funded abortion-on-demand and embryonic stem-cell research?

• Claim they will never vote for anybody who would ever support “taking the life of even one baby” and then renege on that promise by endorsing a man who believes that it’s ok for individual states to kill babies if a majority says its ok as John McCain has said he believes?

The most important question I believe Christians in our nation need to answer is how we can claim to be a “Christian nation” and expect God’s blessings and protection when we allow 4,000 babies to be violently ripped out of their mother’s wombs, dismembered and thrown away in trash cans every day in America.

The Bible clearly states that God chooses our leaders.

“…for there is no ruling authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.” Romans 13:1

Could it be possible, then, that God has chosen a man who was educated as a Muslim who doesn’t believe in any of the 5 fundamentals of Orthodox Christianity, but claims to be a Christian, who believes it’s ok to kill living breathing babies wiggling around on the delivery table, to rule over a nation whose “Christians” have allowed their government to violate one of God’s most sacred and holy commandments (“Thou Shalt Not Murder”) by condoning and financing the murder of over 50,000,000 babies over the last 35 years?

Not only do I believe this is entirely possible. I believe that it is exactly what has happened!

To me it couldn’t be clearer. We are deluding ourselves if we think that there are any other solutions to the problems we face as a nation aside from ending abortion. Plain and simple.

We have blood on our hands.

And there is only one way to bring genuine healing to our land.

As Christians, we must not only talk about how we are “pro-life” and think that “abortion is murder” etc…

Faith without works is dead.

It’s now time for disciples of Jesus Christ, in my humble opinion, to live out our faith by taking a bold stand to defend those who cannot defend themselves in the womb.

Can you imagine what could happen if every Christian in America engaged in civil disobedience and refused to pay taxes until the Supreme Law of the Land was enforced and every child in the womb’s life was protected?

What would happen if politicians knew that they would not get the Christian vote unless they promised to abide by their oath to protect and defend the constitution and enforce the inalienable right to life it guarantees?

You see folks; we get the government we deserve. We “conservative-Christians” have been the cheapest dates in town supporting nominal pro-lifers like Bush (who increased funding for Planned Parenthood at a faster rate than Clinton did) and outright pro-aborts like Romney, Rudy and McCain (neither of whom believe babies in the womb possess an inalienable right to life or support a human life amendment to the constitution.)

Until we demand that those for whom we cast our votes actually uphold their constitutional oath to defend the inalienable right to life, we will continue to regulate (not end) abortion.

The question is whether or not pro-life Christians will be uncompromisingly dedicated to ENDING abortion outright.

If we aren’t, and the silent holocaust continues unabated, aren’t we kind of silly to presume that God would actually bless a nation whose “pro-life” “Christians” claim to believe that babies in the womb possess an inalienable right to life but support politicians who don’t and passively allow their elected representatives to violate the most fundamental right any human being possesses…the right to his or her own life?

I had the pleasure of being interviewed on “The Rick Wiles Show” last week with my friend Steve Deace of WHO Radio in Iowa. We discussed whether America is under judgegment, why, and the way out.
