I will point out, since this thread is actually about Christian apologetics, that Glenn has a major inconsistency in his message if indeed he wishes to proselytize for Mormonism--and I am not yet persuaded that he is trying that. You see, Glenn has actually focused upon the deeply Christian character of the founding fathers, yet his chosen religion is founded upon the specious notion that ALL of Christianity was in TOTAL Apostasy since the second century until the coming of Joseph Smith to restore Christianity in the 1830's.
The founders would not have had the 'benefit' of restoration thus their Christian character would be anathema to the assertions of the man who founded Glenn's religion!
I don’t watch Glenn’s show. I posted on this thread to defend Glenn by putting him in context by comparing him with at least some of our key founding fathers. And when I say Founding Fathers I am talking about the key framers of the Constitution not the colonialists in general who were certainly devout Christians.
If my assertion is inaccurate i.e. that Jefferson, Franklin, Paine, and Adams, were NOT Deists and were devout Christians, then how about some supporting evidence, especially in the case of Jefferson who went so far as to redact the New Testament to remove the supernatural.
The implication in your comment is wholly incongruent with Mormon teaching.
Though Mormon teaching does believe in a requisite restoration - meaning that man cannot reform what only God can restore. That doesn’t however imply that ALL aspects of Christianity were erroneous since his mortal ministry. It, quite likely meant that MAN had made some mistakes along the way and that we might have straid from the objective. If that was the case Mormons would not teach and study the Bible as a canon of scripture at all but they do rather deliberately.
