Beck Bashing or Flock Defending?
http://caffeinatedthoughts.com ^ | August 25, 2010 | Joshua Morrison

Posted on 08/25/2010 4:41:11 PM PDT by grassboots.org

Over the last six or nine months I have been growing ever more concerned over Glenn Beck and his Evangelical and Conservative followers. I have not been alone, there have been countless other Christian Laymen and Pastors have expressed the same concern when Mr. Beck started talking about God, Jesus and Faith.

My question is should we as Christians who believe in Salvation by Grace Alone, through Faith Alone in the Person and Work of Christ Alone, for God’s Glory Alone have anything to do with Beck in the areas of Faith and Religion?

Mr. Beck is a confessing Mormon, and his theology and false history leak out during his programs.

Here let me correct that for you.

Then either you don’t know anything about Mormonism, or you are a Mormon like Beck who doesn’t even recognize half the stuff he puts out is contrary to (my view )of Christian Doctrine.

I'm not Mormon, and I have assisted in several Mormon salvation ministries, so I am very aware of their theology.

But thanks for asking.

The original posts, and the other recent links to Beck have shown Beck repeatedly putting forth Mormon doctrine. Now if he is not ashamed of it, why are you denying it?

I haven't heard it. I've only heard him espousing salvation-by-grace and works-are-what-you-do-because-you're-saved monologues. Like I said, I haven't heard everything.

Relax. He's done more for the Republic and the Kingdom than you or I have. Without a need to be seen as correct in our eyes.

I guess I have to ask for an exact quote, because I've not heard Beck say anything like that.

And again, I assert that Beck may indeed have started as a Mormon, but he's possibly progressed to a saved-by-grace Christian state in spite of where he started.

I'm going to ask these questions again to you, since you either didn't see them or ignored them. I'm interested in your opinion on the matter.

As to your claim that Jefferson was a pagan, how do you respond to his own words?

Jefferson wasn't a pagan, he just didn't buy into what he viewed as the evolving theology that Christianity had become over the millennia.

Said Jefferson:

“The religion builders have so distorted and deformed the doctrines of Jesus, so muffled them in mysticisms, fancies, and falsehoods, have caricatured them into forms so inconceivable, as to shock reasonable thinkers....Happy in the prospect of a restoration of primitive Christianity, I must leave to younger persons to encounter and lop off the false branches which have been engrafted into it by the mythologists of the middle and modern ages.”

(Jefferson’s Complete Works, vol 7, pp 210, 257)

And the other question the goes to the heart of this great land being founded by God... was Columbus inspired or led by God to take the risks he did to come here?

I think you would have a very hard time getting Beck to agree with your take on his conversion.

Oh, I didn't mean that I heard HIM say that; just that is the way I've come to understand what MORMONism teaches...

The way I hear MORMONism is...

(I failed to notice in the line I modified - had HIM saying something..

My error.)

That fiction is put forth by LDS teachings, so we can see where Beck got off the mark with spouting the fictions regarding the Council at Nicea and the Dead Sea Scrolls. I had to take issue just last week with a mischaracterization he made regarding the Newark Stones, which he stated were from ancient Indian times. In fact they were depsosited in the Ohio clay in early 1800s after a Jew was murdered (the remains of the man who owned the stones were found with the head phyllactery still inplace on the forehead of the skull). BUT, even with the errors Glenn makes because he is digesting LDS propaganda, Beck is still elading a clarion call to turn back to God as Americans. THAT I can agree with.
