“Jesus is God eternal, but Mormons think Jesus is a created being, the spirit brother of Lucifer. Many of our nation’s problems are because of people-pleasing pastors. Unless Franklin Graham, Joel Osteen, Pat Robertson and others repent for disobeying Scripture and telling Christians its ‘ok’ to vote for Mormons, how can God bless America?
