In an interview published Saturday to mark 50 years of Christian Broadcasting Network, Chairman Pat Robertson said he liked Mitt Romney's politics and saw the Mormon presidential candidate as an "outstanding Christian."
Although many evangelicals are skeptical of the Mormon faith's claim to Christianity, Robertson called former Massachusetts Governor Romney an "outstanding Christian" in an interview with The Associated Press.
But when asked if he was alright with a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the White House, the 81-year-old head of the television network refused to answer.
In a Pew Research Center poll in June, 34 percent of white evangelicals said they would not vote for a Mormon candidate, and a quarter of all Americans said they were less likely to do so. While Mormons also believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, there are many other doctrinal differences between evangelicals and the Latter-day Saints, such as on the Trinity and the Bible.Click here for complete article:http://www.christianpost.com/news/pat-robertson-mitt-romney-an-outstanding-christian-57017/
