Glenn Beck's Divine Destiny - 8/27
Kennedy Center, Washington, DC, August 27th
Join Glenn Beck for an inspiring look at the role faith played in the founding of America and the role it will play again in its destiny. The audience for the event will be overwhelmingly made up of pastors, ministers and clergy: a modern day Black Robe Regimen. Tickets will be made available to the general public at no cost.
So, if you are sick and tired of hearing about how divided America has become, then join us for an eye-opening evening at the historic Kennedy Center in Washington, DC on Friday, August 27 that will help heal your soul. Guided by uplifting music, nationally-known religious figures from all faiths will unite to deliver messages reminiscent to those given during the struggles of America's earliest days. The event will leave you with a renewed determination to look past the partisan differences and petty problems that fill our airwaves and instead focus our shared values, principles and strong belief that faith can play an essential role in reuniting the country.
That’s nice but to get back to the subject, do your studies about Mormonism being Christian agree with what the Catholics claim in post 21 or do your studies disagree?
he is doing, dare I say, Gods work.

So now Beck is a mormon prophet ???
“When the prophet speaks the thinking is done...”
Sorry, covert proslytizing for mormonism is not God's work. Glenn should stick to the political "work" and leave the missionary work to those who are open about it.
I guess you could change the lyrics of "Praise to the Man" around a little. It truly is a mormon trait to attempt to gift men with "holiness".
Beck is a very frail vessel for the kind of power you attribute to him.
it took Beck to do this...This should have been done by a real Judeo-Christian

It was ...long ago...
By Rush, in Colorado, May, 1993...
It was called “Dan’s Bake Sale”
CNN etc all there...
80,000 Christians/Conservatives turned up and more were stuck on I-25 which was one big parking lot for hours...
Lots of Christian T-Shirts...
Rush arrived by helicopter...
The National Anthem and God Bless America was sung by a 14 yo home schooler ...
Huge success...
I was there ...were you ???
You two are pretty funny, or are at least trying to be. I said nothing of the sort. Beck isn’t a prophet, but he is certainly doing God’s work. Frankly, I don’t care if you agree. Thomas Jefferson shares my opinion.
“God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the Gift of God?”
- Thomas Jefferson, 1781
Yes, it’s God’s work. Sorry to disappoint you both.
Mormonism is not Christianity. The founder of Mormonism claimed that Christianity needed to be restored after a nearly two thousand years hiatus. That is like saying--in your conflation method--all Catholic individuals prior to the arrival of Joseph Smith were dead in their tresspasses and sins and Mormonism dead-dunking must be used to give these poor souls a chance to have salvation! Now, let's get back to the topic at hand ...
What Beck is urging is ONLY that each individual get back to a realtionship with his or her creator, in the fashion he or she finds works for this relationship to work for that individual. Glenn Beck has a vision--not some mystical thing, a notion if you will--that if American individuals and families will seek God's comforting, guidance, and wisdom, through whatever religion they choose, the principles of America's foundations will be renewed.
Glenn Beck is naive, but he is sincere. The majority of Catholic practicing democrats have been able to maintain a duplicitous state where the issue of abortion--for instance--is prominent, and still vote for the deadest enemies of the Republic, the democrat party!
I sincerely pray that Glenn's notion can awaken American exceptionalism and fan the flames of patriotism which can expel the criminal bastards infecting Washington, DC. But I have grave doubts that the media will allow such to occur and that Glenn Beck's most fragile characteristics will be exploited to sour spiritual awakening.
Much more likely venue for awakening Americans is the tea parties. BUT, striving for a spiritual awakening in America is not a bad thing, regardless of Beck's current schtick in Mormonism.
I remember it well. Unfortunately that was 17 years ago and had no repeat effort. That should have lead to a sustained movement then but no one showed up as a leader to get it done.
