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."

I have to confess that I’m at a loss on that one. How did Jesus intervene with Paul?

As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"

"Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked.

"I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. "Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."

The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.

Acts 9:3-9, New International Version

Well, then when I can appear as a flash of light from heaven I guess I might do something similar. I however will never be a god but will serve and praise the one true God.

I am not in disagreement that Mormonism is wrong. I have repeatedly said that I believe that it is wrong as is Catholicism and many Protestant churches.
________________________________________________

Maybe thats part of your prblem...

You appear to be equating Christianity to Mormonism...

Its not by any stretch of the imagination...

If the Catholic Church or the Protestant church is wrong in any area, those errors are totally different than the huge lie that is Mormonism...

Neither the Catholics not the Protesants avocate the conception of Jesus as a physical human sex act, adultery as a tenet for salvation nor progression to godhood ..

Mormonism is not just another Christian denomination...

Mormonism is not Christianity...

As for “we the conservatives” banding together...

What can mere mortals do that is more powerful than God ???

You see this too is a belief of Mormonism...

That humans must help God...

The term Christianity has become so polluted it has become totally meaningless.

Rather it will really be sordid and down the sewer...

You have so missed the meaning of my posts it would be wasted time to discuss this any further.

I suspected as much.


Revelation 14:1-5
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

>> These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins.<<

The women here are NOT females but are other religions. That they are virgins means they have not been with other religions.

They are saved men and women who have not polluted themselves with the idolatrous and immoral religious system of the great whore of Rev. 17. “I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication”.

They are virgins because they have not been defiled by other religions. NOT because they have not been sexually intimate with earthly women. To think so would require a total misunderstanding of much of the rest of the Bible.

See Paul’s similar comparison in 2 Cor. 11:2 “For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.”

The Whore is referring to a false religion and refers to religious fornication. Isa 23: Isa 57: Jer 3; Ezek 16; Ezek 20; Ezek 23; Hos 4; Neh 3

The errors in the teachings of the Mormon Church are many and the error of understanding who the 144,000 of the Tribulation period are is one of a very serious nature.

where does Mitt Romney come in?....he's Mormon and he's also part of the ruling class...he's been described as a rino, a liberal, a progressive....

and we know that progressives believe in the govt controlling all the people and all the time....

and what about Catholics?....surely not one good Catholic could be progressive knowing what we know about killing the ill, the old, the misfits, the disabled, the idiot, the Christian, the global warming denyers or just the "extra"...

of course, we all know we have Catholics and Mormons and Lutherans and Jews, etc who not only embrace progressiveness but promote it....

the question is "WHY"?......

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

II Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come except there come a Falling Away first; and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.
