| Are Jesus and Satan brothers? |
| Mike Huckabee's well-publicized question, "don't Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil
are brothers?" has caused a stir this week. He has since
apologized to Mitt Romney, and the Mormon presidential candidate has
accepted the apology. Before Huckabee's mea culpa, Romney responded to the question by stating that
"attacking someone's religion is really going too far."
Lost in the hunger to create a scandalous story and infuse controversy into the campaign is the actual answer to the
question Huckabee asked. That answer is a resounding "YES!" Here is
an excerpt
from a Q & A on the official Latter Day Saints (Mormon) website.
| On first hearing, the doctrine that Lucifer and our Lord, Jesus
Christ, are brothers may seem surprising to some - especially to those unacquainted with latter-day revelations. But
both the scriptures and the prophets affirm that Jesus Christ and Lucifer are indeed offspring of our Heavenly Father
and, therefore, spirit brothers.
|
There you have it. (For those who may not know, Lucifer is a biblical reference to Satan.)
What Huckabee asked is a simple question of Mormon doctrine. It would be no different than a Muslim candidate
asking, "don't Christians believe Jesus was born of a virgin?" And it would no more an attack on someone's religion
than that.
Yet, Romney chose to accuse Huckabee of that very thing. Either Romney is ignorant of his own religion's
teachings, or he is using a valid question in an opportunistic and disingenuous way to gain political points while
harming a political rival. This whole episode is just another indication of the untrustworthiness of Mr.
Romney. My unwillingness to support him has everything to do with that and very little to do with his Mormonism,
strange and anti-Christian doctrines notwithstanding.
