Glenn Beck: The New LDS Apologist?
Art Vanick ^

Posted on 10/04/2010 1:11:50 PM PDT by Amerisrael

"This is weird. Glenn Beck, who became a Mormon a few years back, is now using his program to promote Mormon archaeology. If you click on these links you can view it. He also has a conspiracy theory about how science, government, commerce, and religion, not in the least, the Smithsonian Institute, purposefully altered history. My good friend Kurt Van Gorden sent me the links below, as well as the descriptions of what he is saying in the videos.

In the first video, about half way through, I about fell out of my chair when Beck referenced Adair’s History of the American Indians ( imagine! ) as proof of similarity between Native American ceremonies and Israelites. He forgot to mention that it predates the BOM by several decades (It was written arounde 1765!). He then ties the Egyptian pyramid math to the Indian mounds (only FARMS and the Maxwell Institute have ventured in this arena, which instantly identified his sources for me). Then in the second video, he uses the fraudulent Newark Stone and the fraudulent Bat Creek stone Hebrew inscriptions as proof of Hebrew among the Indians."

A lot of surveys and studies have been done on this problem.

Here are a couple links:

If you are bothered by “dissension” don't get on the bloggers and personal” threads.

Mormonism can send a person straight to Hell. That's the threat. Beck is dangerous to baby and non Christians. He's completely confused about Christianity.

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha! How can you put anything in the same sentence with “Mormonism?”

I got your number, dude. The THREAT is not Glenn Beck. The THREAT is Islam. WAKE UP!

Read your Bible, DUDE. Start with Genesis and end with Revelations.

This is about ISLAM, right?

How does Glenn Beck figure in all of this? Is he in the Bible? Were we warned against him?

Islam is the Enemy. I will repeat this until such time as all of you understand. Mormonism is NOT your Enemy!

Actually they are to defend Christianity from another media assault, this time from a Mormon televangelist.

Watch the second half of Glenn's 8/18/2010 program, the program where he compares and contrasts manifest destiny and divine providence. The second half of his program he presented pure LDS fiction regarding the Newark, Ohio Indian mounds and the Newark Stones. As the link I rovided above will show, the 'perspective' Glenn offered is pure LDS, yet the reality of the stones is quite different. They are not forgeries, but they are not ancient either, as http://www.bibleinterp.com/articles/Altman_Newark.shtml clearly proves. The Mormon religous teachers are promoting a fictional account of America and Glenn aired the fiction as if facts. Perhaps Glenn's team has too many Mormons on it and they cannot allow themselves to be more objective. I don't know, but it disturbs me when he gives the left such powerful ammo to discredit him.

“First, …recognize that it's a penny”: Report on the "Newark" Ritual Artifacts

"If you found a US penny in a trench at a dig that was assumed to contain only ancient items, you wouldn't claim the penny to be a forgery when you saw it. First, however, you would have to recognize that it's a penny." Anon.

Why do you focus on Mormonism and its “falsehoods” when the Enemy is at your gates?

Shame on you and those like you who have no clue as to the real threat from Inside and Outside this country. Obama is the greatest threat this country has ever seen. If you still insist on focusing on Mormonism, then shame on you, and may your children still be fighting your battles for Freedom long after you are dead.
