Mormon Terminology and Dilemma

Christian/Christianity

Mitt and the $10,000 Bet

Journal of Discourses 6:176; “Brother Taylor has just said that the religions of the day were hatched in hell. The eggs were laid in hell, hatched on its borders, and then kicked on to the earth.” – Brigham Young

1 Nephi 14:9-10; “And it came to pass that he said unto me: Look, and behold that great and abominable church, which is the mother of abominations, whose founder is the devil.  And he said unto me: Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth.”

1 John 3:14-5 says that we have a way to see who is saved and who is not: “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.  Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.”

We thought it was interesting Mitt Romney used a very Christian word to describe a position he held in the Mormon Church.  By telling all of America he was a pastor flies in the face of how they really feel about Christianity.

So has Christianity and all it represents hatched in hell or not?  If it was then why use their terminology and why are you trying to look like them?

And why is Romney gambling when it’s a definite no-no to gamble in Mormonism?  Wouldn’t a former bishop know these things?
