Personally I voted for Ron Paul in the primary, though I have not really seen that he actually accomplished much of anything while in office. It is rather common with primary elections for a lot of people to be disappointed. We need to learn to handle disapointment like any other appointment.
We really have only one choice for POTUS. We need to learn “hold your nose voting” as it is a case of Islamic socialism vs Capitalism
There is much not to like about Mitt Romney. Actually I find his RINO voting record of far greater concern than the fact that he is in a false-christian cult, but he is headed to no different lake of fire than any of the major trinity cults; he is, however, a real American.
Hussein Obama on the other hand is a foreign born, islam raised, a traitor, a fraud, a racist, a socialist/communist and an enemy of the United States with known connections to other known enemies of the United States.
There is some stuff at http://www.barrysoetoro.net and there is other stuff at http://www.mormongods.com including the question of why if they follow Moroni that they are called Mormons instead of Morons. The major contrast I notice is the islamic open war against civilization and attacks on the United States while the Mormons, in spite of an occasional annoying visit are known mostly for community service and singing together.
It looks like we have a choice between voting for a slightly weird weak friend or a wicked hardened islamo/communist enemy of the USA to run our country.
Those who would vote for anyone other than Romney and/or leading others to do so are serving Obama and should really research the term “useful idiots” as it has appeared in history. There was a lot of very real injustice and things very wrong that created the support for Hitler.
Brethren, I emplore you. Don’t be STUPID!!! Don’t work for Hussein Obama! Don’t work for Hussein Obama by undermining Mitt Romney! Don’t be a useful idiot like those who threw away their vote on Ross Perot! REALITY TIME!!! We have a two party system at this point in history. If the conservative vote can be split then an enemy of the United States may well be re-elected president.

Satan’s ministers prey upon those who lack knowledge and they use common misconseptions. Most of what false preachers will teach however is for the purpose of convincing people that they don’t really need to obey Acts 2:38 to be saved. The devil doesn’t care how much of the Bible you obey just as long as you don’t really become a Christian by obeying Acts 2:38. The more moral and holy and scholarly a false-christian is, the stronger the devil holds them by their pride. That is because in order to really become a Christian they would have to admit that they really aren’t one yet.
I have noticed ministers of Satan teaching that Acts 2:38 salvation is only for the Jews, but they are fishing for fools.
We can look at the account of the first Gentiles becoming Christian and clearly see that they spoke in other tongues just like the Apostles AND they were baptized in Jesus Name (the Apostles knew what the Name of the Lord is.)
Keep in mind that the trinity was not even invented until after the Apostles were gone. Even the encyclopedias admit that water baptism was originally administered in the Name of Jesus.
ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA, 11th Ed. Vol. 3 Page 365-366, “The baptismal formula was changed from the name of Jesus Christ to the words Father, Son, and Holy Ghost by the Catholic Church in the 2nd Century.” Vol. 3 Page 82 “Everywhere in the oldest sources it states that baptism took place in the Name of Jesus Christ.”
CANNEY ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RELIGION, Page 53 — “The early church always baptized in the Name of Lord Jesus until the development of the trinity doctrine in the 2nd Century.”
HASTINGS ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RELIGION, Vol. 2 pages 377-378-389, “The Christian baptism was administered using the Name of Jesus. The use of the trinitarian formula of any sort was not suggested in the early church history, baptism was always in the Name of the Lord Jesus, until the time of Justin Martyr when the trinity formula was used.” Hastings also said in Vol. 2 Page 377, commenting on Acts 2:38, “NAME was an ancient synonym for person. Payment was always made in the name of some person referring to ownership. Therefore one being baptized in Jesus Name became his personal property.” “Ye are Christ’s.” I Cor. 3:23.
Now let us examine the first Gentiles becoming Christians. Up until this time the Apostles did not realize that a Gentile could be saved.
Acts 10:44 ¶While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
Acts 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
Acts 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? Acts 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Keep in mind that the New Testament had not yet been written and the commonly misunderstood Matt 28:19 had not yet been written. The Apostles that heard Jesus speak always baptized in Jesus Name because they knew the Name of their Lord.
When the minister of Satan tries to teach that Acts 2:38 was just for the Jews, now you know how to prove that the minister of Satan is a liar. Also we can see by verse 39 that Acts 2:38 is for all that God will call.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Acts 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
Now please notice in this very next verse how many people were water baptized in Jesus Name on the birthday of the New Testament Church.
Acts 2:41 ¶Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
The minister of Satan is not your friend regardless of their great swelling claims or sugar coated lies or how good he/she/it can make you feel about yourself. Look at what God has promised for all who don’t obey Acts 2:38 regardless of their excuse:
2Thess 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
2Thess 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2Thess 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
There is nothing to respect or honor about any minister of Satan whether trinitarian, or JW or Mormon or whatever.
More real Christians need to be obeying Galatians 1:8 regarding trinity preachers.

I will explain in this brief post why every trinitarian will die in their sins and spend eternity in a devils’ hell. I do this not to condemn souls, because the trinitarian iscondemned already, but to warn of the fires of hell.
Jude 1:23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
Remission of sins is essential for sinful humanity to be”sin free”. The word “salvation” means free from sin. In Acts 2:38 we see that sins are remitted (washed away) by Jesus Name water baptism. Now the trinitarian is not really worshipping the Jesus of the Bible, so they see no need to be baptised in Jesus name (even though the Bible clearly commands it). They think that their three gods need three separate “titles” in baptism.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
This is because Jesus is the Great “I AM” of the Bible. His name is the ONLY saving name.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
So, you see, trinity preachers really are deceiving people into hell. I don’t just say that to be mean, but rather in the service of truth. Both of the following statements were spoken by the same person:
Exo 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily , verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Now the false-christian will not accept that Jesus is “I AM”. They “don’t believe”. They are “non-believers”.
That is why Jesus said that those who would not accept that He really was the “I AM” would die in their sins.
1. Those who do not see Jesus as “I AM” see no need to be baptised in the name of Jesus.
John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
2. Sins are remitted by Jesus name baptism.
Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
3. Those who don’t believe in Jesus will refuse Jesus name baptism and will die with their sins UN-REMITTED.
1 Timothy 5:24 Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
That is why Jesus said:
John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Sins are washed away by Jesus name baptism. That is why the Bible commands it, so you can “put on Christ”.
Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Trinitarians are deceived by their filthy preachers into refusing to “put on Christ”.
Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Acts 19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
Acts 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
What did the people do immediately when Paul told them to believe on Jesus?
Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
Acts 8:34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
Notice how the eunuch understood that believing on Jesus included being baptised. You now have several examples from the Word of God where hearers of the Word of God knew that belief in Jesus included baptism.
Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
Even on the day of Pentecost, on the birthday of the New Testament Church, there were 3000 baptised in Jesus Name. Those that receive the Word of God get baptised.
Look back just two verses and see that Peter preached Jesus Name baptism.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

The word “antichrist” appears 4 time in the Holy Bible in four separate verses.
1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus<2424> is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus<2424> Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus<2424> Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
In each of these verses the word translated as Jesus comes from reference 2424
Since words do mean things so let us look at the definition of the word. If we are to understand a Bible verse then we need to know the meaning of the words used
in that verse, eh?
2424 Iesous {ee-ay-sooce’}
of Hebrew origin 03091; TDNT – 3:284,360; n pr m
AV – Jesus 972, Jesus (Joshua) 2, Jesus (Justus) 1; 975
Jesus = “Jehovah is salvation”
Notice the Hebrew of 03091
03091 Y@howshuwa‘ {yeh-ho-shoo’-ah} or Y@howshu‘a {yeh-ho-shoo’-ah}
from 03068 and 03467;
AV – Joshua 218; 218
Joshua or Jehoshua = “Jehovah is salvation” n pr m
Then notice the Hebrew for 03068 referred to above:
03068 Y@hovah {yeh-ho-vaw’}
from 01961; TWOT – 484a; n pr dei
AV – LORD 6510, GOD 4, JEHOVAH 4, variant 1; 6519
Jehovah = “the existing One”
1) the proper name of the one true God
1a) unpronounced except with the vowel pointings of 0136
The trinity does not teach that “Jehovah savior” came in the flesh, but rather teaches that a “second person”, or “junior deity” came in the flesh. Does the trinity teach that Jehovah died on the cross for your sins or do they teach a “junior person”?
Many are taught John 3:16 but what about 1 John 3:16
1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
That does not say that a junior god person died on the cross now does it?
There is also another group of verses that warn particularly against polytheistic theories, and further declare them capable of “spoiling”.
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Let us review our original verses and simply substitute Jehovah for Jesus since we know that is the definition of the word “Jesus”.
1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus<2424> is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus<2424> Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus<2424> Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
That’s right friend. Trinitarianism is not merely stupid foolish and deceitful,it really is ANTICHRIST!
Consider also this verse regarding the human tendency that man has to “make up” his own “gods” (If people didn’t get a measure of peace and satisfaction they wouldn’t have been worshipping creations of their own minds for centuries).
Jeremiah 5:7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by [them that are] no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
Jeremiah 16:20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they [are] no gods?
Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
According to the trinity there would have been 5 pair of feet walking in the garden in this verse. 1 pair for Adam, 1 pair for Eve and three pair for the trinity that they were hiding from. Of course the more scholarly of the trinitarians might suggest that there were only 4 pair of feet actually walking because god person #2 was riding on the right hand of god person #1.
Also considering the trinitarian attempt to preach plural gods from Gen 1:26:
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Shouldn’t verse 27 read “created they them”? And if the “trinity” of three created Adam in “their image”, where are the other two Adam persons? We need two other “persons” here. I mean, if one “person” can sit on the other “person”‘s right hand then where were Adam’s two “co-equal” persons. Then we would need a trinity of wives.
Yet we have trinitarians who claim to be “one god”, Biblically Christian, and monotheistic. How can this be?
2 Corinthians 11:12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
In the above verses Paul says that it is Biblical to try to cut off occasion from the Satanic ministers who will be pretending to be ministers of righteousness.
Revelation 17:1 ¶ And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
