Does Mitt Romney believe God came to Earth from Kolob?

Mormons apparently believe God died and his replaced (the current God) came here from a planet called Kolob... Does Romney actually believe this?? Did Romney believe Indians and Blacks were subhumans until Mormons took it out of their sacred texts? Just a non-Mormon very worried by the idea of someone who comes from this background leading the nation... Mormons, defend!!

    You have hit the nail on the head, but I do not know if Mitt knows that that is what the Mormons believe. Many Mormons would be shocked to know this. They don't believe that God died and was replaced by our present god, they believe that God was once a man on this other planet and had many wives and children and after he died, he evolved into god and came to this planet and started being god over it and he had been keeping his many wives pregnant so that when you and your wife get pregnant, one of these spirit children comes down and enters the embryo in the woman's womb and that is we all came from . . . according to Mormons! This man/god from another planet started being this world's god but didn't replace any other god. and there is supposedly many inhabited planets with many other men/god according to their crazy philosophy! I won't vote for Mitt unless I have to, but ANYONE is better than the Marxist Obama!

    the simple answer is that mormon (LDS) scripture does mention Kolob, and the star system called Kokaubeam

    but it does not say God "comes from there" the words actually say that is where God is "nearby"

    the sarcasm of south park gets it wrong after the first vision is described. after south park would not be south park if they didnt Mock God.

    i have only heard it once said that jesus came from another planet. but whether it is kolob i know not.

    even the bible in the book of genesis says there is a plurality of God(s) and even after the Godhead made (created) Adam, they created a female, than there was those that were called female gods.

    but clearly ONE God is greater than the other, because one gives the commandments while the other does the work, and then rests on the 7th day.

    The two party oligarchy offers no real solutions. On one side you have the complacent democrats, and on the other you have the downright evil. The only candidate I would support for president would be Ron Paul, who isn't perfect, but at least comes off as honest and as a libertarian, some of his positions are more leftist. I.E. bring the troops home, cut military spending, legalize drugs... he likes small government, but then that also means he'll cut education and healthcare spending. Give and take; it's better than any other Republican, and certainly better than Mr. Status Quo in the White House.

    Change the system.

    Nope and neither do the Mormons... any of those.

    Abraham wrote that he received instruction on astronomy from God. He saw many planets and stars. Abraham 3:9 (LDS Pearl of Great Price) indicates that there is a major star named Kolob near the throne of God. It does not say that the throne is on a planet. Kolob and planets are not an important part of LDS theology. Earth and heaven are. What "The God Makers" does is to utterly distort LDS teachings to suggest we believe in extraterrestials and sci-fi stuff. You could attend hundreds of sacrament readings and read thousands of LDS talks without getting any of the "sci-fi" stuff because it is not what the Church is about. We do believe that God is real. We believe the Bible when it says that Christ, who is one with God, received a physical body and was resurrected and showed his immortal, resurrected body to others (Luke 24: 36-39). He is omnipotent, and his influence is everywhere, but there are actual places where actual beings actually reside, and heaven is an actual place. The throne of God, based on Abr. 3, is somewhere, and that somewhere has a large star nearby. Again, this kind of "realness" bothers a lot of people, but it really shouldn't.

    NOWHERE in LDS scripture and official LDS doctrine (the LDS canon and statements issued by or approved by the First Presidency - not wild remarks attributed so a lone church leader) is any explanation given of how God creates spirit children or where they reside.

    What about this idea of a "celestial wife of God?" LDS scripture makes no clear reference to this and we certainly worship no one but the Father (there is no "goddess worship" in LDS theology). However, there is the rarely discussed understanding that God is truly our Heavenly Father and that He is not a single parent. We do believe that we have "heavenly parents" and that God is the Father of our spirits (Hebrews 12:9), that we are his "offspring" (Acts 17:28,29), that Gen. 1:26,27 can be taken literally (let us make man in our image, male and female), and that marriage is instituted of God and can endure past the grave. (Though the ordinance of marriage, like baptism, is one that must be performed on earth, prior to the resurrection - these relationships and ordinances apparently must be done and ironed out before we enter eternity. Afterwards, there is no changing in these eternal relationships - no marrying and giving in marriage.)

    we believe God came from a planet near the star called Kolob.. Do you believe in the strange doctrine that god is three persons? And its still in our scriptures that black skin is a curse.....and do you believe God sends everyone who dont believe in him too hell?.. You have a strange religion there.....and us mormons are not smart? Were not the ones who believe Heavenly Father is three people and were not the ones who think Jesus is his own father....and we believe in other worlds with people on them.. As it says in the book of moses and abraham..so do we believe in aliens? The answer it complex on that one.. We believe there are humanoid persons on other worlds yes

    If Mitt is smart, he will do all he can to play down that Mormon stuff. After all, he can't be too bright if he believes all of it.

    You may be voting the way I do.... against the nuts jobs.

    In the last election, I didn't vote for Obama....I voted against Sarah Palin.... one seriously stupid woman.

    Mormonism is wacky, but it's no more wacky than Christianity's belief system. So Christian, don't you believe that Balaam had a talking donkey (Numbers) and that the Witch of Endor summoned Solomon's ghost? (Samuel)

    Probably, if he is a good Mormon.

    A little intolerant aren't we?

    I thought you believed in separation of Church and State?
