Why Does Glenn Beck Hate Jesus?

[Colofornian]

When Glenn Beck told listeners of his radio show on March 2 that they should "run as fast as you can" from any church that preached "social or economic justice" because those were code words for Communism and Nazism, he probably thought he was tweaking a few crunchy religious liberals who didn't listen to the show anyway. Instead he managed to outrage Christians in most mainline Protestant denominations, African-American congregations, Hispanic churches, and Catholics...

A strong voice of reason has spoken. You must have been circling above me and gleaning words I couldn’t voice myself for my lack of proper verbal imagination.

Right on man, Right on!

By the way, what is a “progressive evangelical.” Is that like a Marxist Capitalist?

RESTORNU might know...

[DBeers]

Very well put. As a Catholic I know very well that the term “Social Justice” is a morally relative term with no tether to specific Truth(s) -it is about as objective a term as “Fair” is. “Social Justice” like being “Fair” seeks out its own subjective truth(s)premised upon majority opinion/will and or compromise... King Solomon called for such “Social Justice” and “Fairness” when suggesting “splitting the baby” -—There are many Catholic teachings that there can be no compromise on -the best way to avoid confusion on issues is to dig deeper beyond and avoid morally relative terms as they are among the sheep's clothing lines that wolves prefer...

The term “Social Justice” is now popular commie speak. As is “Struggle”, Liberation”, and “Change”.

From Investor's Business Daily (IBD), August 27, 2008:

"Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.

One of Ayer's descriptions for a course called 'Improving Learning Environments' says prospective K-12 teachers need to 'be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and ... be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.

The Annenberg papers are quite extensive — 132 boxes containing 947 file folders with 70 linear feet of material. They undoubtedly contain more surprises regarding Obama's relationship with Ayers, one of many relationships Obama has sought to hide.'..."

You should be dizzy if you were asking me for clarification in #142 for something I wrote in #147. I already responded to your #152 and provided clarification for the second of my two original sentences. The first really needed no clarification as it was a fairly simple sentence.

[DBeers]

P.S. “Jim Wallis” is a milktoast Christian who uses religion as a prop to further his progressive ideaology of creating a utopic heaven on earth -a heaven in which the new health care bill as a central plank will afford fully funded abortions, sex change operations, and therapists for all... YUP thats his idea of “Social Justice”

[reaganaut]

I’ve heard of him and I don’t like him either.

[Elsie]

The prolific rates at which they post about Beck and Mormonism is truly astounding.

And...

We reach more folks in a week than a young MORMON 'missionarie' does in his/her entire 1-2 year enlistment.

Of course; there aren't 60,000 of us (yet) but we ARE growing and letting lots of folks SEE things the the LDS, SLC branch of MORMONism wishes would just stay in the background noise.

[reaganaut]

Of course; there aren’t 60,000 of us (yet)

Revised number from SLC is 53K.

Grow up? Are you seriously from an intellectual cul-de-sac and can’t argue your position from a position of strength and counter point?

It’s a play on words from the first Star Trek Movie and having worked for a company that was named LDS, having nothing to with LDS, it is just plain funny.

It’s a play on words(okay I said that above), nevertheless, one that tells her position in regards to a past life that she feels was a counterfeit and now she intends on vigorously inviting and challenging others to come out of the darkness they feel.

And the whole “Grow up” thing is so 6th grade silly. “STOP LOOKING AT ME! is an appropriate allegorical response to an inadequate cranium loge.

But that’s just me.

Can’t we all get along? Please.

[Vendome]

Wait! You stopped supporting FR and yet, you continue to post here.

Why did you really stop? You obviously like it here.

Come on, soldier up, we need a few good Americans.

[Vendome]

Aw come on. What kind of tripe is that?

Hate Mormons? I don’t believe we hate Mormons. We do disagree with their overbearing and narcissisticly unassailable position, in their minds, the rest of us are Heretics, Whores of Babylon, Apostate, etc.

And yet when we question their belief system, which they acknowledge in all their student manuals and sacred texts, we are the their version of AntiSemitics. Really?

They regularly run us into the ground and have whole systems of arguments and even famous teachers of deceptive practice, for asking leading questions or answering the question they say should have been asked.

I mean really, even among the various Protestants you won’t find the type of disagreement in denomination you find when juxtaposed of Christian to Mormon, or Christianity to Mormonism.

[Vendome]

I wouldn’t mess with her Nana. Her home page is very Cheney and I like it. LOL

Ms. Blonde, we are inviting the LDS members to join in discussion, occasionally we get someone who is so convicted and educated that they are fun to learn from and even delightful to talk with.

However, most of the time the other LDS’ers answer questions we never asked or discuss things that non-sequitor and beyond but, they never answer the points of germain.

I liked your response BTW. No offense Nana.

[Colofornian]

This type of religion seeks to implement the Golden Rule on the collective, as mandated by a government system. [jonrick46]

Beck needs to research his own LDS church history and their United Order communism.

Which is what Beck’s church taught and lived for many years and expect to return to. It is a theocratic communism called the United Order.

Yup...and here the United Order was supposed to be "everlasting," was it not? That was Joseph Smith's "revelations" in Doctrine & Covenants 82:20; 104:1.

Here is a Mormon author describing Orderville -- a communist community established by Brigham & dismantled by ensuing Lds "prophet" John Taylor:

"When Brigham Young established Orderville and similar United Orders, John Taylor was less than enthusiastic. He realized that enterprises such as Orderville were pure communism and not the law of consecration. He made this plain after he became President, when in 1882 he sent an epistle to all authorities of the Church in which he bluntly stated: 'We had no example of the 'United Order' in accordance with the word of God on the subject...Our relations with the world and our own imperfections prevent the establishment of this system [i.e. the system of consecration and stewardship spoken of at times as the 'United Order'] at the present time, as was stated by Joseph in an early day, it cannot yet be carried out.'" (George W. Givens, 500 More Little-Known Facts in Mormon History, 2004, p. 169)

(So much for false-prophet Joseph...and you're right, Reaganaut...Beck needs to research his own religion historically)

[reaganaut]

i think it is a rather lame excuse. They seem to want to censor the speech here on FR.

I don’t like the atheists that bash the Christians but that doesn’t stop me from supporting a great site. I don’t agree with the Catholic bashers, or the protestant bashers but that doesn’t mean I won’t support FR.

FR is about conservative values and free speech is one of them, I don’t like what some people have to say but I will fight to the death for their right to say it.

[reaganaut]

If he did, he probably wouldn’t stay. Very few do.

[NoRedTape]

"Some of my closest friends are LDS. That doesn’t mean I automatically trust their judgment."

I have a childhood friend who's in the hierarchy of LDS. Sweetest and pretiest girl around. She and her hubby have been totally brainwashed by LDS. She cannot see the light of day. It is the saddest thing.

No one I know "hates" mormons. Glen Beck left the Church Jesus founded to join a cult.

There are quite a few very confused folks out there.

The saddest thing is that LDS don't realize their own brainwashing (Joe Smith - lol) and don't even really know their own cult or even where planet Kolob is.....

[Vendome]

God doesn’t believe in Aethiests, so that makes them nothing.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. /s
