| | + | While Romney is trying to make points on that "Jesus is my Saviour" and he doesn't speak for his church, or his church for him, the fact is that his beliefs are not Christian. Mormons believe that the Book of Mormon is a better revelation than the Bible (which has many mistakes), that God has a body of fless and blood, and he is married to the Queen of Heavens; that the leaders of the church receive direct revelations from God; that you have to be baptized for your deceased ancestors. |
