Glenn Beck: 'No real Christian’ should support Trump
The Hill ^ | 3/24/16 | Mark Hensch

Posted on 03/24/2016 7:11:42 PM PDT by M. Thatcher

Glenn Beck on Thursday suggested that GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump is incompatible with Christians who take their faith seriously.

“No Christian, no real Christian – I don’t mean a judgmental Christian, I mean somebody who is living their faith – no real Christian says, ‘I want that guy, that guy is for me,’” he said during a broadcast of his radio show. "Nobody, nobody.”

Beck also argued America is moving away from its Christian underpinnings, causing myriad moral and social problems nationwide.

“I honestly don’t know what else to do,” he said. "We have got to be a people of principles. We are a Christian nation.

“Are we really?” Beck asked. "Then why are we in so much trouble? Why do we have the same kind of problems that non-Christian nations do with pornography and drugs and everything else?

“We should be setting an example if we’re actually living our Christian faith. The problem is we all say we’re living our Christian faith [and] we’re not living our Christian faith.”

Beck additionally vowed he would challenge any religion or denomination he believes is ignoring its own guiding principles.

“I’ll take on the Jews, and I’ll take on the Lutherans, and I’ll take on the Catholics, and I’ll take on the Mormons,” he said. "I’ll take them all on. You’re damn right. Where are you? You’re not living your principles.

“We’ve got to shore these things up,” added Beck, who backs Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and his GOP presidential campaign. "Somehow or the other, our side didn’t catch the memo.”

Beck has emerged as a vocal critic of Trump, arguing that the GOP front-runner does not represent conservative values.

Cruz, meanwhile, has repeatedly asserted he is the only Republican contender who can keep Trump from securing their party’s presidential nomination.

non christian CULT MEMBERS cannot define what Christians believe, do or think... because they are NOT Christians.
Period.

Those who reject the ONE and only ONE God who bodily dwells in Jesus as the fullness of one true God fully... are NOT actual Christians.

Folks who believe that Jesus is somehow Satan’s spirit brother... are NOT Christians but members of a cult.

Beck is a deluded cult member of a religion without completed grace based salvation on the basis of the merits of Jesus Christ. Maybe he is a moral guy, or maybe not, but a Christian as detailed and described in the bible or throughout church history... HE IS NOT.

Glen Beck. Shut up and repent for your cult beliefs...

That is the real issue.

You should know, Glenn Beck, for Mormons are not Christians. They are their own kind of cult.

Alinsky method?

Meanwhile, it’s not these denominations’ principals that are worth anything.

It is JESUS (the Real one, for Beck).

Seems Beck mistakes us imperfect Christians with the perfect Stepford type. No offense to Cruz intended. I can forgive and overlook Trump’s imperfect humanity as I realize he is such, as well as more, someone willing, like our forefathers, to risk his fortune for his country. Our forefathers were also imperfect.

These PC globalist “christians” (lower case intentionally) - i.e. Cruz supporters are the type who say ‘Jesus just loved everyone”. Actually Jesus called people out, and chased people with whips.

I bet a lot of Cruzers on here would accuse Jesus of ‘not being Christlike’

Mormons are not Christians. They are totally irrational-—as Beck is proving.

I am a profound Christian and Trump is my favorite guy for now——not because he is “perfect”—no one is—but because he promotes Common Sense (pure survival) of the greatest, most free nation in the history of the World.

“Non” judgmental people like Beck are suicidal and evil—Truth is CLEAR and you NEVER blur the truth-—NEVER. You NEVER support evil, vile behaviors to little children-—you NEVER pretend evil, vile worldview (islam) is “good” and “compatible” with REASON. It is an evil, irrational, sexist, vile, pederastic worldview.

Everyone knows that God designed us to be REASONED Beings. Without Reason, we are nothing but cattle........and that is what I see Beck promoting-—”No Reason Allowed”....no discernment of Good and Evil (Wisdom). NO Common Sense. Common Sense is what created this country and Freedom (Natural Law Theory/God’s Laws). NOTHING ELSE is compatible with Rule of Law-—like evil islam and communism.


Excellent post.

BTW...speaking of irrational, I have a Mormon friend...She cannot drink coffee (hot drink with caffeine) but she can drink diet colas...Go figure.
