Glenn Beck: Presidential election has injected ‘poison’ into the Christian church

Conservative radio host Glenn Beck unloaded Tuesday night on Christian leaders who remain supportive of Donald Trump, saying they have injected “poison” into the church.

Beck told TheBlaze’s Dana Loesch that the U.S. can “survive” the potential presidency of Hillary Clinton “because she’s an outside source.” But he had quite a different thing to say about those in the Christian community who are choosing to stand with the Republican presidential nominee.

[MUDDOG]

HRC's payoff amount to Beck

He's so consumed by hatred, he does it for free.

[SkyDancer]

Hey Glen, from what do you know about Christianity? Certainly not from Mormonism you’ve embraced.

[klimeckg]

Joseph Smith created your poison bruh!

[Gamecock]

**Glenn Beck unloaded Tuesday night on Christian leaders**

Instead of bothering Christians why doesn’t he just worry about what Mormons are doing?

[stratboy]

The man is bat @&$! crazy. I can’t even make it through the article without rolling my eyes.

[Vinnie]

No , the US cannot survive 4 years of Hitlary .

Beck, and apparently many e-repubs, are delusional if they think America can survive any more Zer0 style government.

Hillary herself said this election will decide the direction of the Country for the next 40 years.

[TiGuy22]

Exactly; what could he possibly see as a benefit to allowing HRC to become president and eight years later she’s field dressed the first and second amendments? Beck going to be OK with his decision if his cult is outlawed?

[showme_the_Glory]

But he is destroying the Mormon’s rep.

[[Beck, and apparently many e-repubs, are delusional if they think America can survive any more Zer0 style government.

There won’t be a country.

[elpadre]

just why is what Beck opines newsworthy??

[Roger Kaputnik]

“What does he know about the Christian Church?”

In a word, nothing. Beck is a Mormon. No offense to my fellow FReepers, but the LDS is not Christian and neither is Beck. So I suggest he stop boozing, get back on his meds and STFU.

~RK~

[reaganaut]

They are doing that just fine on their own - see the recent Deseret News articles on McMullin and asking Trump to step down.

[metmom]

NO!

We CANNOT survive a Clinton presidency.

We have to stand with the candidate who is going to get this country back to it’s roots.

Is he perfect?

No.

NOBODY is. There’s something in virtually EVERYONE’S life that could be used to disqualify him from office if someone looked hard enough.

For crying out loud, they’d even disqualify Jesus Himself for calling women *dogs* when He told that Samaritan woman that it was not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.

If they want to find something on someone, they will.

If we were waiting for the perfect candidate to vote for him, then it will never happen.

[This I Wonder32460]

Glenn Glenn has been...

[pissant]

What would this fragile, mormon snowflake know about the Church?

[reaganaut]

Beck is not part of the Christian church so his opinion means nothing.

[reaganaut]

I know several LDS who admit they wish Cruz would convert saying he is ‘already a Mormon in his heart’ and a “golden contact” (meaning a likely strong convert).

Would he? Who knows but there are a lot of LDS who are hoping.

Orson Pratt proclaimed: "Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the 'whore of Babylon' whom the Lord denounces by the mouth of John the Revelator as having corrupted all the earth by their fornications and wickedness. Any person who shall be so corrupt as to receive a holy ordinance of the Gospel from the ministers of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent" (The Seer, p. 255).

Questions put to Joseph Smith: "'Do you believe the Bible?' [Smith:]'If we do, we are the only people under heaven that does, for there are none of the religious sects of the day that do'. When asked 'Will everybody be damned, but Mormons'? [Smith replied] 'Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 119).

Joseph Smith: "for the teachers of religion of the different sects understood the same passages of scripture so differently as to destroy all confidence in settling the question by an appeal to the Bible" (from Pearl of Great Price 1:12). "What is it that inspires professors of Christianity generally with a hope of salvation? It is that smooth, sophisticated influence of the devil, by which he deceives the whole world" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.270).

 

 

 

Brigham Young stated this repeatedly: "When the light came to me I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness" (Journal of Discourses 5:73); "The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God" (Journal of Discourses 8:171); "With a regard to true theology, a more ignorant people never lived than the present so-called Christian world" (Journal of Discourses 8:199); "And who is there that acknowledges [God's] hand? ...You may wander east, west, north, and south, and you cannot find it in any church or government on the earth, except the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.24); "Should you ask why we differ from other Christians, as they are called, it is simply because they are not Christians as the New Testament defines Christianity" (Journal of Discourses 10:230).

 

 

 

 

Orson Pratt also said: "This great apostasy commenced about the close of the first century of the Christian era, and it has been waxing worse and worse from then until now" (Journal of Discourses , vol.18, p.44) and: "But as there has been no Christian Church on the earth for a great many centuries past, until the present century, the people have lost sight of the pattern that God has given according to which the Christian Church should be established, and they have denominated a great variety of people Christian Churches, because they profess to be ...But there has been a long apostasy, during which the nations have been cursed with apostate churches in great abundance" (Journal of Discourses , 18:172).

 

 

President John Taylor stated: "Christianity...is a perfect pack of nonsense...the devil could not invent a better engine to spread his work than the Christianity of the nineteenth century." (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.167); "Where shall we look for the true order or authority of God? It cannot be found in any nation of Christendom." (Journal of Discourses , 10:127).

 

 

 

James Talmage said: "A self-suggesting interpretation of history indicates that there has been a great departure from the way of salvation as laid down by the Savior, a universal apostasy from the Church of Christ". (A Study of the Articles of Faith, p.182).

 

 

 

President Joseph Fielding Smith said: "Doctrines were corrupted, authority lost, and a false order of religion took the place of the gospel of Jesus Christ, just as it had been the case in former dispensations, and the people were left in spiritual darkness." (Doctrines of Salvation, p.266). "For hundreds of years the world was wrapped in a veil of spiritual darkness, until there was not one fundamental truth belonging to the place of salvation ...Joseph Smith declared that in the year 1820 the Lord revealed to him that all the 'Christian' churches were in error, teaching for commandments the doctrines of men" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 3, p.282).

 

 

 

More recent statements by apostle Bruce McConkie are also very clear: "Apostasy was universal...And this darkness still prevails except among those who have come to a knowledge of the restored gospel" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol 3, p.265); "Thus the signs of the times include the prevailing apostate darkness in the sects of Christendom and in the religious world in general" (The Millennial Messiah, p.403); "a perverted Christianity holds sway among the so-called Christians of apostate Christendom" (Mormon Doctrine, p.132); "virtually all the millions of apostate Christendom have abased themselves before the mythical throne of a mythical Christ whom they vainly suppose to be a spirit essence who is incorporeal uncreated, immaterial and three-in-one with the Father and Holy Spirit" (Mormon Doctrine, p.269); "Gnosticism is one of the great pagan philosophies which antedated Christ and the Christian Era and which was later commingled with pure Christianity to form the apostate religion that has prevailed in the world since the early days of that era." (Mormon Doctrine, p.316).

 

 

 

President George Q. Cannon said: "After the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized, there were only two churches upon the earth. They were known respectively as the Church of the Lamb of God and Babylon. The various organizations which are called churches throughout Christendom, though differing in their creeds and organizations, have one common origin. They all belong to Babylon" (Gospel Truth, p.324).

 

 

President Wilford Woodruff stated: "the Gospel of modern Christendom shuts up the Lord, and stops all communication with Him. I want nothing to do with such a Gospel, I would rather prefer the Gospel of the dark ages, so called" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 2, p.196).

[Elsie]

But he was a Catholic first.

Didn’t his catechism classes take?

[SaraJohnson]

Beck’s “poison” is his own Mormon religion combined with general insanity. Poor guy.
