Founder & Director, Lamb & Lion Ministries
Over the past few months we have been inundated with inquiries about the presidential election. All of these have expressed a great sense of frustration about the choice we are faced with. And that is understandable when you consider the fact that neither of the two main candidates is a Christian.
Mitt Romney
Mitt Romney certainly is not a Christian. He has been spiritually deceived into giving his heart to a false religion that masquerades as Christian.
Since its founding back in the 1830's, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the Mormons) has taken the position that it is the one and only true church and that all the rest of Christendom, both Catholic and Protestant, is apostate.
The Mormons teach and preach a false Jesus who is not God in the flesh. Instead, He is portrayed as one of thousands of subordinate gods who were created by the super god of this planet, who is an exalted man.
The Mormons thus deny the trinitarian concept of God that is revealed in the Scriptures. They reject the truth that Jesus was God in the flesh, and they view the Holy Spirit as an impersonal force.
The Mormons teach salvation by good works, in direct contradiction to the Bible's teaching that salvation is by grace through faith, and not by works (Ephesians 2:8-10). And the Mormons teach that their most faithful followers will become gods themselves with their own planets to populate and rule. In short, Mormons are polytheists.
Mormonism thus presents "another gospel" that is foreign to the gospel of the Bible. And the Apostle Paul declared that all non-biblical gospels are an anathema and that those who proclaim them are to be "accursed" (Galatians 1:8-9).
Barack Obama
President Barack Obama is also not a Christian,despite his claims to be one. I proved this conclusively in the third edition of my book, America the Beautiful?(2009).
In an interview he gave in 2004, Obama stated point-blank, "I believe there are many paths to the same place [Heaven]." To the contrary, Jesus said there was only one, and He was it (John 14:6).
When Obama was asked, "Who's Jesus to you?" he responded that Jesus was an "historical figure," "a bridge between God and Man," and a "wonderful teacher." There was no expression of Jesus as God in the flesh, the Savior who died for our sins.
Obama shocked his interviewer by saying that there was one thing in particular about Christianity that he had difficulty dealing with — and that is the tendency of many Christians to engage in evangelism! He said he believed the desire to proselytize was based on a belief that if "people haven't embraced Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, that they're going to Hell." Obama has obviously never heard of Jesus' Great Commandment to preach the Gospel to all the world (Mark 16:15-16).
Because of highly unorthodox comments like these about Christianity, and because of his obvious enthusiasm for Islam, many have concluded that Obama is a closet Muslim. I don't think so. Based on his statements and his policies, I have concluded that Obama is a classic Humanist, meaning that he is a person who believes in the essential goodness of Man and his ability to achieve fulfillment on his own through the power of reason.
Remedial Judgments
One of the main points I made in my book, America the Beautiful?, is that when a nation blessed by God turns its back on its Benefactor, God will place remedial judgments upon the nation in order to call it to repentance. And one of those judgments can be that of giving the nation the kind of leaders it deserves.
That was certainly the case in 2008 when Barack Obama was elected president.
The continuing judgment of God upon our nation can be seen in the choice for President we are now presented with. For the first time in U.S. history, neither candidate is a Christian.
A Clear Choice
But despite that fact, we are confronted with a real choice. It is not a matter of Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
On one hand, we have a candidate who is a non-Christian Mormon. He believes in traditional family and moral values, he respects the heritage of America, he supports Israel, he recognizes Islam as our nation's enemy, and he believes in Capitalism.
On the other hand, we have a candidate who is a non-Christian Humanist. He rejects traditional family and moral values, he despises our nation's heritage, he holds Israel in contempt, he loves Islam, and he believes in Socialism.
The choice is not an ideal one. But there is a clear choice.
May God have mercy on our nation.
