Then I guess you can't vote for Donald Trump then. It clearly states in D&C 98:6-10lundbaek wrote:I assume that by "And Romney knows better," Darren meant that Romney knows he has been supporting evil people and some of their evil intentions. Correct me if I'm wrong about that, Darren. But I'm not so sure that Mitt Romney realizes he has been promoting and supporting actions of government that are in violation of principles of government that the Lord gave us when He established the US Constitution by the hands of those wise men whom He raised up unto that very purpose. I have no evidence either way.
I can maybe excuse the many American LDS voters and others who think that Mitt Romney has been always doing right during his time in the political arena. Many may not realize that he has been promoting and supporting government actions that violate many principles of government given us by the Lord in the US Constitution and reiterated many times since by latter-day prophets and apostles. It figures, if they have never heard or read any statements of latter-day prophets and apostles emphasizing the vital importance of defending, upholding and adhering to the Constitution, and warning that we have apostatized in various ways from the Constitution. They probably don't even know that as the Prophet, Ezra Taft Benson told us that "We must learn the principles of the Constitution in the tradition of the Founding Fathers." Well, that was years ago, say many. 29 years ago, to be precise. I prefer to stick with that commandment until I learn from the First Presidency that that commandment no longer applies.
Apparently they are unaware of a subsequent statement in that same address by President Benson: "We must become well informed." And we were reminded of that by President Uchtdorf in the October 2009 General Conference Priesthood Session. I seriously wonder now m many LDS people did any homework at all by checking out the many things that Mitt Romney did and said while in the political arena. I wonder how many American voters can recognize unconstitutional conduct by their government officers.
No, I do not hate Mitt Romney. I only wish to awaken people, especially Latter-day Saints, to their doctrinal imperative to preserve liberty, and learn, uphold and abide by the principles of the US Constitution as it was meant to be understood, a document that is being shredded by apathy, disregard, and rampant abuse of power.
6 Therefore, I, the Lord, justify you, and your brethren of my church, in befriending that law which is the constitutional law of the land;
7 And as pertaining to law of man, whatsoever is more or less than this, cometh of evil.
8 I, the Lord God, make you free, therefore ye are free indeed; and the law also maketh you free.
9 Nevertheless, when the wicked rule the people mourn.
10 Wherefore, honest men and wise men should be sought for diligently, and good men and wise men ye should observe to uphold; otherwise whatsoever is less than these cometh of evil.
Trump is not honest, wise or good. Therefore he must come of evil. How do I know this? Because of his past actions and current actions.
Hyrum Smith said, "...to vote for wicked men, it would be sin"
And the Prophet Joseph Smith said, “… let the people of the whole Union, like the inflexible Romans, whenever they find a promise made by a candidate that is not practiced as an officer, hurl the miserable sycophant from his exaltation. …”
After reading this talk by Ezra Taft Benson I could never ever vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.
