OUT LOUD

NewsJim White  |  October 25, 2011

“Many Mormons are good neighbors, friends and fellow citizens. But we cannot go so far as to call them brothers and sisters in a common faith. To do so is to not only confuse real Christians, but to also diminish the importance of lovingly speaking with Mormons about the errors of their belief in hopes of seeing them come to know the real God of the Bible and avoiding eternal damnation for worshiping a false god.”
Mark Driscoll
The pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle was writing on his website. His comments were quoted by the
Seattle Times.
 
“I don’t care in the context of a presidential election. It’s a theological distinction and I’m not making a theological decision in the general or primary election. So I don’t engage in discussions or debates about Mormon theology or Christian theology in this context, other than to say that what Gov. Romney would say himself, which is that we have different theology in many points, but beyond that it’s an unnecessary and, frankly, an unfair distraction. So I don’t get into that.”
Mark DeMoss
The top evangelical Christian adviser to GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney was responding to questions about whether Mormonism is a form of Christianity. He was quoted by the
Huffington Post.
