’)On the CNN/Youtube debate, Mitt Romney said he believed everything in the King James Bible. He was clearly pandering to the conservative “Christian” base of the Republican party. But I think it is a fair follow up question to ask Romney if he believes everything in The Book of Mormon as well, which is a foundational text of his faith.
As a side note I think it’s funny that Mike Huckabee, a former minister, clearly said he doesn’t think everything in the bible is literal truth (an obvious point to anyone who has ever cracked it open – even if you’re the most devout Christian the Bible is not exactly a clear recitation of fact) but Romney couldn’t stop his pander gene from kicking in.
There was no pandering here. Governor Romney simply stated a basic belief of the LDS church, which is that we believe the Bible to be the word of God.
So does he also believe the book of Mormon word for word as well?
