For example, Romney recently said two things desperately in need of translation. First, when he said, “I believe the Bible is the Word of God, absolutely,” he seemed to violate Article Eight of his own LDS Articles of Faith: We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. “As far as it is translated correctly” means any time it disagrees with Mormon theology, it’s wrong.

Second, when he said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of mankind,” he did not also include that, according to Mormon theology, there are an infinite number of “sons of Gods,” that Jesus is a Son of God along with his brother Lucifer, and that Jesus is only the savior of this world, since Mormon males can become the God, Creator, and Savior of their own planet one day.

Mormonism teaches man, angels and gods are all of the same species, spiritually evolving from one to the other.

When it comes to Christians and their support of Mitt Romney for the presidency, I am concerned about where their ultimate, most fundamental allegiance lies. I would be comforted, somewhat, if there was an acknowledgement of some concern for what a Romney presidency would mean in terms of money and profile of the LDS church, increased boldness of Mormon missionary efforts and the converts those efforts would yield.

Do they not wonder that, though we may not hear much from Romney about Mormonism during the campaign, we may in fact hear volumes from Salt Lake City after the inauguration?

Like I said, I’ll vote for Romney—if I have to—since it will mean keeping a Democrat out of the White House. But should he become president, I, along with millions of other Christians, will expose each and every attempt by the LDS church to advance their false religion into the world, for we are aware of the potential spiritual challenges of having a Mormon in the White House.

This is what makes the decision very difficult.
