The White Horse Prophecy

 This is what I believe about our Constitution:

It was guided by--not given from--God to America so that we could become a microcosm for the rest of the world and be a basis for the government when Christ comes again. God finishes what He starts. If any person were to be in power--say as the President--and was truly a threat to what God wanted America to be, then that person would not be allowed to stay in power. That's not why I voted for Obama. That's another discussion entirely.

Now, certain of my LDS Brothers and Sisters quote this "prophecy" attributed to Joseph Smith when talking about the coming of "socialism" or the potential election of Mitt Romney or other LDS candidates for various offices. For those who don't know, the "White Horse Prophecy" basically states that the Constitution will "hang by a thread" and the "elders of the Church" led by a man on a white horse will rescue it and save America. But it's poorly sourced, almost as bad as the Hadith that says that suicide killings of Christians will gain the killer 72 virgins in heaven or whatever. Basically, it's not true. Bruce R. McKonkie speaks on it. But more importantly, the Church has an official statement.

"The so-called 'White Horse Prophecy' is based on accounts that have not been substantiated by historical research and is not embraced as Church doctrine."

I guess I have no problem with someone if they believe in the White Horse Prophecy--if I took issue with everything my LDS sisters and brothers believed was "doctrine" then I wouldn't have hardly anyone with which to share my beliefs--but when they pass it off as doctrine and say that Obama and the rest of us Liberals are going to ruin the country because God's a Republican, that's when I take issue.

Glenn Beck, I'm calling you out on this one, Brother. Listen to President Uchtdorf: "Stop it."

As for the typically Liberals that think Romney was part of a scheme by the Church to take over the world, you're being dumb.
