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."

The Beck program brought up the Newark Stones. Do a google and you’ll find video of the false claims the Mormonism leadership are making, which Glenn repeated as if factual.

I really like that you say your don't care if his religious beliefs color what he says but then add “his willingness to show us the truth”.....just how if his religious belief distort his historical information - how again is this truth?

Not as dangerous as Islam is. You need to study more and keep your own counsel.

Your opinions are just that: your opinions. However, they will not change the creeping sedition of Islam in this country. Focus your energy into something you can change; don’t mess with Mormonism because it will never leave this earth. If you know ANYthing about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you will know it will never be taken from this earth again. Ever.

Fight the Enemy who is the Enemy to All the world. Satan is at the head of Islam, and you, as one person, need to focus on keeping him from the community you live in.

If you focus on “Mormonism,” you deserve whatever you get from the Muslims. THEY will give you no quarter, and you will never be able to speak against them without the penalty of death.

Choose your battles carefully.

When Joseph Smith was trying to sell his new religion the lost tribe of Israel was the subject most discussed at the time. Smith said the American Indian was the lost tribe.

Didn't see that episode of Beck on TV. So, I have no idea what you are referring to.

And, I've never heard of the Newark Stones before, but did find this . Which is certainly intriguing, considering that for the most part, Native Americans had no written language.

Mormonism isn’t a death cult. Radical Islam is. Radical environmentalism is. Communism is. Obamaism is!

There.
Fixed it for you.

Not irritating; just hilarious.

I watch Beck every day, I thought, but managed to miss that event.

The post has nothing to do with hatred or bigotry.

That is how the Islamists respond when their
Islamic ideology or Koran is challenged!

While Mormonism may not pose the violent / stealth / jihad threat that Islam does, from a spiritual standpoint, it is just as dangerous.

A recent survey showed that 80% of Americans who identify as Christian, are Biblically illiterate.

They are not grounded in the Bible, that is a big part of what makes them easy prey for dangerous counterfeit Christian cult religions like Mormonism.

And the consequences of such deception is eternal separation from God.

How many uninformed folks watch Glenn Beck and think to themselves — “What he says sounds so good he must be Christian too”—

and from that they fall prey to a false cult that can damn their soul in hell forever.

That is the danger of Mormonism.

Beck, in order to have any credibility, must leave Mormonism out of the context of his program.

And if you need to think you have any credibility, you must stop beating your wife.
