NONE of the thread evangelicals have anything to say about THIS? Well, (R)'s just don't like Romney, but they're thinking he's the only person they have that has a chance against Obama, who they hate more than they dislike Romney! It very much the same situation as it was with McCain, who thought Palin would inject some enthusiasm.. I'm thinking that the evangelicals will just stay home, because of this: mormonwiki.com "A prophet is a revelator. He receives revelations from the Lord. These revelations have to do with the prophet's stewardship. An example of prophetic stewardship can be found in the ministry of John the Baptist. He was a revelator, called to serve as a forerunner to the ministering Christ, to lead people to Him. He received his knowledge of Christ mostly through revelation. He preached and served in a very small area of Judea, within the confines of his calling and stewardship. Later, the Apostle Paul was given a stewardship to preach to the Gentiles. This he did, and he received revelation according to that realm of service. Much of what prophets teach is of a practical nature, geared to the current condition of the people they serve. This is why the world always needs prophets, and why God has chosen to send prophets to modern society. Said the ancient prophet Amos: "Surely the Lord will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets" (Amos 3:7). A prophet is chosen by God as His authorized representative. The fifth Article of Faith says, "We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands, by those who are in authority to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof." This authority is all-important. A man cannot call himself to the prophetic ministry. A "seer" sees with spiritual eyes. Because he sees the meaning of God's message to mankind, whether the message comes from scripture or from personal revelation, he can clarify and interpret the message for mankind. A seer can prophesy; he can see into the future and into the past, if God wills it. Moses saw all of mankind: "And it came to pass that Moses looked, and beheld the world upon which he was created; and Moses beheld the world and the ends thereof, and all the children of men which are, and which were created; of the same he greatly marveled and wondered (Pearl of Great Price, Moses 1:8 [1]). The President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a prophet, seer, and revelator." This guy is the current voice of God for all Mormons:
