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...

I think Beck is right, as he is most of the time.

Whatever you say, sporto.

Nah; it's whatever SLC says.

It's THEIR stuff that gets shown.

Just say the word and surely there is a MORMON quote out there somewhere that can be dredged up to expand on the thought.

Are part of that mindset Devil Worshiping, Satanic Inspired, Lenninist Idolizing, Communists.


I think you are right, it seems to me that this socialism has found its way into a lot of church,s.

I realize that most of them are well meaning, but so many people are more comfortable with making Christ a religion rather than a way of life.

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.
 
 

Why; so does dem MORMONs!   Jes look at #11 
 
 

Articles of Faith

The Articles of Faith outline 13 basic points of belief of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Prophet Joseph Smith first wrote them in a letter to John Wentworth, a newspaper editor,
in response to Mr. Wentworth's request to know what members of the Church believed.
They were subsequently published in Church periodicals.
They are now regarded as scripture and included in the Pearl of Great Price.

 
THE ARTICLES OF FAITH
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
History of the Church, Vol. 4, pp. 535—541
 
 

  1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
  2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
  3. We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
  4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
  5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
  6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
  7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
  8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
  9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
  10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
  11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
  12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
  13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Joseph Smith

 
 
Just be cause they send out 60,000 53,000 MORMON missionaries to the World's front door,
saying that only THEY have the CORRECT religion,
do not let that fool into thinking they don't want you to expose the inner workings of MORMONism.

Glen Beck left the Church Jesus founded to join a cult.

I don't think he LEFT a church to switch to MORMONism.

My comment about hating Mormons was not addressed to you and never mentioned anyone else other than the person to whom it was addressed and directed.

Your hatred of Mormons evidently clouds everything in your world. Try not to share it with us so regularly.

What; in the article that was posted, equates to HATE in your opinion?

...through the supernatural power of prayer. Only through the grace of Christ will their bonds be broken and the joy in the Lord be experienced.

AMEN!

My friends years later were praying for me long before they knew me.

And SOME folks on FR get their own special day to get prayed for!

Did you PRAY about this to see whether it was TRUE or not?

Nothing, as I recall.

You are correct in the choice of words; refrain versus reframe. Thank you for the correction. When writing quickly such mistakes happen. My ability to proof my own writing is limited.

Who are you to say that he hasn’t? Have you studied the history of your religion, other than what is written in the Bible? You do realize that while there is history in the Bible, it’s not a history book.

- - - - - - - -

“Any Latter-day Saint who denounces or opposes whether actively or otherwise, any plan or doctrine advocated by the prophets, seers, revelators’ of the church, is cultivating the spirit of apostasy. One cannot speak evil of the lord’s anointed... and retain the holy spirit in his heart. This sort of game is Satan’s favorite pastime, and he has practiced it to believing souls since Adam. He wins a great victory when he can get members of the church to speak against their leaders and to do their own thinking.”

“When our leaders speak, the thinking has been done. When they propose a plan—it is God’s Plan. When they point the way, there is no other which is safe. When they give directions, it should mark the end of controversy, God works in no other way. To think otherwise, without immediate repentance, may cost one his faith, may destroy his testimony, and leave him a stranger to the kingdom of God.”1

Ward Teachers Message, Deseret News, Church Section p. 5, May 26, 1945

“I say to Israel, the Lord will never permit me or any other man who stands as president of the Church to lead you astray. It is not in the program. It is not in the mind of God.” (The Discourses of Wilford Woodruff, pp. 212-213.)
