It seems that Beck left out the part about God once being a mere man.

I’m sure his next video will be a show on all the archaeological sites mentioned in the Book of Mormon.

Just minor oversights.

“There‘s nothing you will find in the temple that you won’t find in the Old or New Testament.”

Nothing, eh? That's rich. Except for maybe the masonic blood oaths and death penalties that were removed from the temple endowment ritual in 1990. But hey, I guess Jesus thought that anyone who didn't keep the masonic ritual secret deserved to have their throats slit from ear to ear, or to have their chests and bowls severed. Where are those practices in the temple of the Old Testament and New Testament?

You also don't hear about multiple gods existing in heaven in the Old or New Testaments.

The penalties made the temple ritual so cult like that the Church had to drop them out so as to stop scaring members out of the church. I guess Beck must have joined Mormonism after they took those parts of the temple endowment out.

What about the oath in the Temple Ritual until Utah petitioned for statehood, which required all Mormons to swear to seek revenge upon the Untied States government for the death of Joseph and Hyrum Smith? Sound pretty Christ like, doesn't it? I bet that one wasn't in the Old or New Testament.

I suspect that Beck doesn't personally know much about mormon doctrine, or the Church's history other than what his leaders tell him. Probably hasn't looked too much into it. Otherwise, he wouldn't say things like he does in this article that indicate his ignorance of Church history and doctrine.

BTW, all of the secret oaths made in the temple also sounds a lot like the "secret oaths and combinations" that are forbidden as evil in the Book of Mormon.
