We obviously got off on the wrong foot. Regardless of whether or not you intend to post my last response, I hope I can persuade you that I’m in no way attempting to demean your personal faith or your committment to biblical principles. I apologize if I came across that way. Feel free to contact me privately at with any further concerns.

We clearly differ with respect to our understanding of Mormon doctrine, but I hope I can express my opinions to you as described in Ephesians 4:2 “with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love”. Thanks!

Sincerely,
Jim Sweeney

Mormon doctrine is different, and in my opinion incorrect. But why the derision? To claim them as DECEPTIVE is a charge for which you offer no evidence. There is a huge difference between wrong and deceptive.

I also do not appreciate your insinuation that I do not actively seek God’s will or rest in His sovereignty. The same sovereignty that has allowed Mormonism to thirive in this nation and to allow this nation to thirve with a plethora of religious beliefs occupying its cheif executive office. It is PRECISELY my fatih in that sovereignty that permits me to embrace the candidacy of someone of an errant faith.

If you wish to point out the theological differences between creedal and Mormon Christianity, then by all means, but that is a discussion for a seminary or Sunday School class, NOT AN ELECTION. And it is never, ever graceful in the example of Christ to do so insultingly or derisively.

It occurs to me that Christ reserved his anger, and violence, not for the publicans and sinners but for the Pharisees smug in their own self-righteousness.
