Romney on Jesus
David Frum (National Review Online), believes Mitt Romney has made a huge mistake commenting on the content of his faith. He says that by answering the question of "Do you believe in Jesus," he has opened up the door for "What do you believe about Jesus?" along with other questions Romney will have great difficulty answering satisfactorily, especially for orthodox Christians.In trying to dodge questions about the content of his particular faith, he has, in fact, open the floodgate of such questions. Frum concludes that by Romney bringing to the center his particular belief in Jesus rather than keeping the argument focused on his commitment to being the best president possible, he has engaged in a game in which he cannot win.
I tend to agree with him and believe we may see a dramatic drop in Romney's position as these questions begin to flood in. Why is this important? Because we understand that belief in Christ must be centered in the person of Jesus as revealed through Scripture. Just any Jesus won't do and, like it or not, what you believe about Him shapes your worldview and, ultimately, who you are as a person...and a president.
