The Business And Laws Of Mormonism, And Its Implications For An American President

This article is not about bashing a religion, so those who read the headline and want to start attacking in the comment section with flying, angry fingers can relax. This article is questioning the secular business activities of the Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (JCLDS) or the usual shortened version, LDS Church and the doctrine held sacred to the church, specifically in terms of how it could affect an American President.

There is, however, another element to the LDS church that hasn’t been adequately considered; its secular business activities.

The second reason this difference in theology is significant is because of this religion’s own doctrinal laws:

The Law of Consecration requires "that you do consecrate...yourselves, your time, talents and everything with which the Lord has blessed you, or with which he may bless you, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for the building up of the Kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment of Zion."

The Law of Sacrifice is explained as based on the Old and New Testaments...submitting to this Law, the patrons covenant to "sacrifice all that we possess, even our own lives if necessary, in sustaining and defending the Kingdom of God [i.e., the Mormon Church].”

Mitt Romney grew up in this culture...The LDS Church owns stock in Bain Capital. As America’s president, the Mormon Laws of Consecration and Sacrifice must either be discarded or upheld by former Bishop Romney.
