Dr. Richard Land Says Mormons Aren’t Christians

Dr. Richard Land was the puppet master who had George Bush on a string. He is a powerful Baptist who along with his ilk authored a letter backing Bush’s war in Iraq. He was against the anti-war movement, and caused the needless death and maiming of thousands of Americans. He also authored a paper calling for armed resistance to pro-abortionists that a Catholic leader hesitated signing, but the Pope is now game in regards to being a Consciencous Objector.

What we are talking about is Sedition – Treason! These are not religious leaders, but political and fake military leaders that are trying to take over this democracy!

“Call to civil disobedience
The declaration vows civil disobedience if Christians feel that their rights to civil liberties of free exercise of religion and freedom of speech are being violated.”

These neo-Confederate Traitors, allied with the Pope in Rome, were making their Big Push because Romney was doing well, while their candidates flaked off. This crusader army was going to march across America with aborted fetuses on their banners. Sandra Fluke brought their evil lying crusade to a dead halt, because the Women’s Vote for these wolves – went south!

Oops! They forgot half the population of America – is women!

Take away their aborted babies on the cross, and what do they got? These evil monsters PREY ON SEX AND ABORTED BABIES, the un-born, not of a collective, but of one woman’s private choice. They are Satan’s winged carrion who have invented a conspiracy in order to destroy this Democracy and install church rule!

Dr. Land has un-Christianized all Mormons – with glee!

Asked whether the SBC views Romney and fellow Mormons, whose church is known formally as The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints, as Christians, Land declares: “No. Mormonism is not an orthodox, Trinitarian, Christian faith. They do not believe the same thing about God the Father, God the Son, or God the Holy Spirit that we believe.

“Perhaps the best way to describe Mormonism, perhaps the most charitable way to describe Mormonism, is that it’s a fourth Abrahamic religion, with Joseph Smith playing the role that Muhammad plays in Islam and the Book of Mormon playing the role that the Quran plays in Islam. It’s based upon the Christian faith and the Jewish faith but it goes beyond them and it contradicts them.

“Islam is not a Christian faith. Mormonism is not a Christian faith,” he said with emphasis.

The Rev. Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, expressed a similar view about Romney and his Mormon faith in a recent interview with MSNBC.

Asked whether Romney was a Christian, Graham said no.

“Most Christians would not recognize Mormons as part of the Christian faith,” Graham said.

“They believe in Jesus Christ. They believe in a lot of other things, too, that we don’t accept theologically.”

But both Graham and Land insisted that, despite differences in doctrine between Christians and Mormons, Christians could vote and that there should be no religious litmus test for the position. Graham also told MSNBC that Romney “would be a good president if he won the nomination because I think he’s got the strength, business-wise, politics-wise. He’s sharp guy. And he’s proven himself.”

Land agrees with the sentiment: “The fact that a person is not a professing Christian and is not a member of a Christian faith should not disqualify him or her from running for president. I would vote for a pro-life, pro-family Jewish person over a pro-choice, pro-same-sex marriage Southern Baptist. As Martin Luther once said, ‘I’d rather be governed by a competent Turk than an incompetent Christian.’”

In 2001, President George W. Bush appointed Land to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), a federal agency, created by the International Religious Freedom Act of 1988, for the purpose of monitoring the freedom of conscience, thought and religion or belief abroad.
Land was the primary author of the Land letter, an open letter sent to President George W. Bush by leaders of the religious right in October 2002 which outlined a “just war” argument in support of the subsequent military invasion of Iraq.
President Bush reappointed Dr. Land for a second term in June 2004. He was subsequently appointed by then Majority Leader Bill Frist in July 2005. Land continues his service to the Commission.
President Bush appointed Land to serve on the Honorary Delegation to accompany him to Jerusalem for the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the State of Israel in May 2008.[1]

The Land letter was a letter sent to U.S. President George W. Bush by five evangelical Christian leaders on October 3, 2002, outlining their support for a just war pre-emptive invasion of Iraq. As its foundation for support, the letter refers to the “criteria of just war theory as developed by Christian theologians in the late fourth and early fifth centuries A.D.” The letter was written by Richard D. Land, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. It was co-signed by:
Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries
Bill Bright, chairman of Campus Crusade for Christ
James Kennedy, president of Coral Ridge Ministries, and
Carl D. Herbster, president of the American Association of Christian Schools
The letter asserted that a pre-emptive invasion of Iraq met the criteria of traditional ‘just war’ theory because:
such an action would be defensive
the intent is found to be just and noble. The United States does not intend to ‘destroy, conquer, or exploit Iraq’
it is a last resort because Saddam Hussein had a record of attacking his neighbors, of the ‘headlong pursuit and development of biochemical and nuclear weapons of mass destruction’ and their use against his own people, and harboring al-Qaeda terrorists
it is authorized by a legitimate authority, namely the United States
it has limited goals
it has reasonable expectation of success
non-combatant immunity would be observed
it meets the criteria of proportionality—the human cost on both sides would be justified by the intended outcome

Excerpt
The Declaration summarizes itself as follows:
Because the sanctity of human life, the dignity of marriage as a union of husband and wife and the freedom of conscience and religion are foundational principles of justice and the common good, we are compelled by our Christian faith to speak and act in their defense. In this declaration we affirm: 1) the profound, inherent, and equal dignity of every human being as a creature fashioned in the very image of God, possessing inherent rights of equal dignity and life; 2) marriage as a conjugal union of man and woman, ordained by God from the creation, and historically understood by believers and non-believers alike, to be the most basic institution in society and; 3) religious liberty, which is grounded in the character of God, the example of Christ, and the inherent freedom and dignity of human beings created in the divine image.[12]
[edit] Call to civil disobedience
The declaration vows civil disobedience if Christians feel that their rights to civil liberties of free exercise of religion and freedom of speech are being violated. It states :[13]
We are Christians who have joined together across historic lines of ecclesial differences to affirm our right—and, more importantly, to embrace our obligation—to speak and act in defense of these truths. We pledge to each other, and to our fellow believers, that no power on earth, be it cultural or political, will intimidate us into silence or acquiescence.

Through the centuries, Christianity has taught that civil disobedience is not only permitted, but sometimes required.[13] There is no more eloquent defense of the rights and duties of religious conscience than the one offered by Martin Luther King, Jr., in his Letter from a Birmingham Jail. Writing from an explicitly Christian perspective, and citing Christian writers such as Augustine and Aquinas, King taught that just laws elevate and ennoble human beings because they are rooted in the moral law whose ultimate source is God Himself.[12]
One of the drafters, Princeton Law professor Robert George, stated, “We certainly hope it doesn’t come to that. However, we see case after case of challenges to religious liberty,” including laws which he claims would force health care workers to assist in abortions or pharmacists to carry abortifacient drugs or birth control.[13] George continued, “When the limits of conscience are reached and you cannot comply, it’s better to suffer a wrong than to do it.”[13]
Catholic Archbishop of Washington, Donald W. Wuerl’s office was restrained about the issue of civil disobedience, indicating that the prelate was not calling on the faithful to “do anything specific”.[6][11]

One response to “Dr. Richard Land Says Mormons Aren’t Christians”

  1. I am not in favor of abortion if there are other options. However, in the case of a danger to a mother’s health, or in the case of rape or incest, I think this is a case which should be addressed by the mother and her doctor. My main question on this subject is, “Why are these so called “Christians” so concerned with the rights of a fetus and at the same time have no concern for the fact that we lost over 4500 lives of real people in the Iraq War?
