Will Conservative Christians retain biblical principals or defend Glenn Beck's Mormon
Most of the Christians in the US view Mormonism as a cult; will their shared political views paramount their faith?
4. Christ. Mormonism acknowledges the divinity of Christ, but as noted above, Mormon doctrine on what constitutes divinity falls seriously short of the Biblical standard. Mormonism teaches that Jesus, Lucifer, and all the demons, as well as all mankind, are actually all spirit brothers and sisters, born in the spirit world as spirit babies to our man-god Heavenly Father and his goddess wives. Mormon leaders have consistently taught that God the Father ("Adam-god") had sexual relations on earth with Mary (his own spirit daughter), to produce the physical body of Jesus. Early Mormon apostles also asserted that Christ was a polygamist, and that His wives included Mary and Martha (the sisters of Lazarus) and Mary Magdalene.
You don't get it. Nobody needs a lesson on Mormonism.......Its about being a good person! RIGHT AND WRONG! If GOD doesn't give you your rights then MAN does. Do you really trust that MAN will let you alone? Even for people that don't believe in god should be smart enough to understand this. Its not a hard concept to grasp.
"The "Restoring Honor" rally was a good idea to promote the values of America. However, when Beck ventured into the realm of "revival", his beliefs are open to scrutiny.
Despite mentioning God, Beck's Mormonism and other false religions promote a false gospel. "I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel?which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ." (Galatians 1:6-7)
He accuses President Obama of false theology. Beck is hypocritical as the Mormon church has propagated deception for years. "
"A radio ad will follow Glenn Beck on his speaking tour this summer, and it offers some pretty harsh criticism. Specifically, it accuses him of preaching a false gospel.
The ad was put together by Faithful America, an on line Christian social-justice group that takes (usually liberal) stances on issues like health care, immigration, and poverty. It's connected to the advocacy group Faith in the Public Life, which partners with similarly minded faith-based groups on political issues.
A narrator asks:
Would you support a leader who said Jesus' teachings can lead to Naziism? Or who attacks Christian pastors for preaching the full gospel? Then why do so many Christians tune into Glenn Beck? By deriding pastors who preach the justice taught by Jesus and the prophets, Glenn Beck has urged listeners to follow his piecemeal gospel. Scripture teaches that the tongue can be like a small fire that sets a whole forest ablaze, and Christians are cautioned not to praise God in one breath while cursing those made in God's likeness in the next...."
"In his latest attack on the Social Justice, Glenn Beck slams the work of James H. Cone and Black Liberation Theology. On the surface, what Beck says may be appealing; Cone does make people uncomfortable. With a black man in the White House and talk of a ?post-racial? America, who wants to hear about lynching, of all things? Yes, it was horrible, but haven?t we put that behind us? Aren?t people who still want to bring ?that? up just trying to stir up trouble? If Beck can somehow prove that Cone is wrong about the gospel?and probably a communist as well?we can dismiss him and feel a whole lot better about ourselves, our country, and our faith. The problem is, the Bible itself sounds more like Cone than Beck.
Take Beck?s claim, for example, that social justice and the redistribution of wealth are not in the gospel. It?s simply not true. Luke 1:52-53 describes Jesus? mother, Mary, anticipating his birth with these words: ?He [God] has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty.?
If you flip the channel from MSNBC you may realize that most of us aren't far right religious wackos like Keithy keeps telling you. As you can see your post didn't start up any infighting.
i am utterly confused.....what does this have to do with politics, if you want to attack religion be out right and don't hide behind politics and if you are attacking Glenn beck be intelligent enough to discuss some of his points instead of a religion. Figure out what you have a problem with and then come talk to me.
We have no reason to start another counterproductive and upsetting discussion. G. Beck, as a converted follower of LDS, found his peace in that religion. That's all we need to know. This so-called Mormon church does obviously have a different approach to Christianity than Christian Churches have.
Religions/churches/cults, like the Mormon church or even Islam, were sometimes established by strange hoaxes and occurrences, however, as long as they have the commonwealth of the whole society on their mind: What's wrong with that?
Let me get this straight liberals have no problem with the religion of Islam, a violent, racist, misogynous religion and will defend it to the bitter end but has a problem with a Mormon who does not want to kill anyone for not being Mormon, or kill his daughter if she is raped or hates a race of people for what ever reason.?? Your question is so full of holes..... Conservatives defend the first amendment, it is liberals that seem to have a problem with it.
Mormons are not presenting a false gospel. You and other Anti-Mormons are presenting a false and distorted picture of what The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints believes and has believed in the past.
Baring false witness is a very serious sin. But since you believe in grace, and that you are Prue-exonerated from whatever evil that you will ever do, you believe that you have license to lie. So like a lawyer you will make any story, as a long as a gullible jury will believe it, just like gullible people believe your Anti-Mormon message.
Here is what a Mormons believes. A Mormon believes in being as righteous as he or she can figure out to be, and to be the best Good Samaritan that they can be, and to teach their children and others the same, by being a true and quite example of Christs teachings.
Anybody can speculate about the afterlife, but that will take care of itself. That is what Mormons believe.
When qualifying for the Temple a Bishop does not ask a member about their beliefs, political persuasion and so forth. The question always is, are you meeting the standards required to get into the Temple? Perfect righteous is not demanded, but a certain level of righteous is, to go into the Temple.
Mormons believe in following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, and becoming a little bit of better follower of Jesus Christ, each and every day.
Now find some Mormon missionaries, get yourself a lie detector, and ask them what they believe, and they will say in their own words pretty much what I just said. Simple as that.
You are spreading false innuendos, and you are baring false witness, and that makes you and other Anti-Mormons Anti-Christians. Your eternal reward lurks from beneath. Because it is from that Devil that lies are promoted. I will pray for your soul. Because you and others like you lie, in an attempt to save people I am sure. But you are following in the footsteps of Judas, and that is an unhappy end, for those who try to stop the message of Christianity.
And Christianity is this. To be the Good Samaritan. Simple as that.
Actually, most Christians know better than to think other Christians are part of a cult (which we're not, dear). And Mormons are typically the most conservative Christians around. We keep to Biblical principles, and it's not Beck's Mormonism. It's Christ's.
Just so you know.
As noted above? I didn't see a source, but I'm not really understanding why you think we don't keep to Biblical standards. Maybe we don't agree with YOUR interpretation, but why are you assuming all of Christianity agrees with your views, anyway?
And a few more corrections:
We don't believe we were born as spirit babies. We don't believe God is a man. We don't believe He has "goddess wives." We don't believe that God is Adam. We certainly don't believe God had sex with Mary. We've never taught that Christ was a polygamist, or even that He was married once. We don't know that, because the Bible is very silent on the subject (which means that we also don't teach that Christ was married to Mary and Martha or Mary Magdalene).
I don't know where you're getting your "information," but it's completely incorrect. If you're going to try and preach against others, shouldn't you at least take the time to learn what they really believe before arrogantly assuming you know better? You should also reconsider your claim to be a Christian when you're going against Christ's teachings by judging others so blindly.
Conservative Christians should not be expected to defend what Glenn Beck believes. It seems right that they would continue to support and defend what they believe from the Bible.
