For the love of all that is holy TN Nana, STFU. You start by asking me why I am mixing religion and politics and then you go on about Christ and finish by bashing Mormons again. Get a grip! I did not start this whole stupid thread and discussion. I simply referred to Beck as a good Christian man. I used Christian in the very general, very universal sense; as in: X believes in Christ, therefore X is a Christian by the most base definition of the word.

I never brought the two together. You all started this little Mormon bashing service and have been festering like an oozing boil ever since. You are not going to proselytize to me. You are not going to change the way that I think. You are not going to sway me away from my church, the teachings I have received over the last twenty-five years, or the views that I espouse.

You all may continue this trite and pitiful little display, but I am no longer going to participate in this thread. The only entities I have to answer to are myself and the Big Man. If you are truly concerned for me, say a prayer, but for the love of all that is Holy, leave me alone about the whole teaching garbage. Do you really think I have not heard all of this through my years of Catholic education?

And we jumped in with a very SPECIFIC: No he's NOT!


Why does that upset you so?

rare: If so, we’ve got a long way to go as American Conservatives since it appears that Christian spirituality is a club that only permits those who read the KJV of the Bible.

Nana: Why are you mixing religion and politics ???

rare: You start by asking me why I am mixing religion and politics ...Get a grip!

LISTENing has become almost a lost art...

 

 

James 1:19-25 

 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

 21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Hey, Beck believes in the chirst of lds NOT the Christ of the Bible. I have an idea why not you STFU until you have a clue as to what you are talking about.
Just because someone believes in Christ does not in anyway make them a Christian. Even the Dali Lama believes in Christ, and he is not a Christian. Demons believe in Christ and they are not Christians.
