Why Does Glenn Beck Hate Jesus?

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...

Didn't YOU get the memo?

Yes but the words were all parsed :-)

I mean that I don’t have the ability or right pass judgment on anyone’s soul and their eternal destiny — which I was being asked to do.

Only God can do that.

This will probably be my last post for several days. I have been fairly sick for the past six days. The flu grabbed me and refused to let me go.

At first, I thought I had a head cold, but then I realized that diseases can’t exist in vacuums, so I decided that it had to be a stomach virus.

Sure enough, three days of bowing down before the porcelain god convinced me to not go to work, but, come tomorrow, I have to go back to work, long hours and little sleep. No rest for the wicked and the righteous don’t need any.

The visit in Utah, I went with a friend. I have known her and her husband for several years. She is very, very Evangelical and he is very, very Mormon. They met at BYU, fell in love, and got married. She has a site here: http://www.clobberblog.com/ She is now attending the Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

Why I went in a white shirt and tie, I don’t know.

As far a Hawaiian shirts and getting glared at by us Mermaners, I live in the south and there are people in church every Sunday in sandals, Levis, and summer dresses. Usually they are just visitors, but nobody glared at them.

I had a son one day asked me if I had any problem with him wearing a pair of raggedy blue jeans and an old t-shirt to church one day. He was just trying to gourd me. I told him that I didn’t have any problem with it, not in the slightest.

So, he runs to his bedroom and starts to change clothes, laughing and giggling the whole time. I stuck my head in his room and in a dead-pan voice said, “Nope son, I don’t have any problem with you wearing that fine attire, but, what I will have a problem with figuring out how to get your body into the car trunk, how to drive out to the countryside, and burying your mangled body without the neighbors and your mother know. Your brothers are helping me figure out how to do that. Carry on.”

Poor child has his father’s sense of humor, or is it his father’s sad sense of humor?

That's funny. Kids, can't live with'm and you go to jail if (as your story says........) My grandson who is five, wears his clothes backwards, says "its his style" and loves mullet hair cuts. No he doesn't say “business in the front party in the back” for some unknown reason he calls it a Minnesota water slide.
I am so sorry you are sick. Prayers for your recovery.
Get some sleep. I am recommending some mint tea, not only does it taste good mint sooths the stomach.

My consolation and prayers on your virus. Don’t overdo the first days back at work..that kind of virus can really sap your strength.

Try not to work to hard and you are in my prayers. Feel better and don’t do to much.

Norm,

You were not being asked to judge anyone. You were being asked about the contradictions in LdS teachings. Now you’re really grasping at straws.

Is the JS doctrine (King Follet sermon) regarding apostates true or not? If so, why is not taught as LdS doctrine? Why did you previously claim it was not LdS doctrine and when shown the proof, refused to address it further and now obfuscate with claims of being asked to judge people?

Hi, SZonian,

Yes, I believe the statement of Joseph Smith in the King Follett Discourse.

” All sins shall be forgiven, except the sin against the Holy Ghost; for Jesus will save all except the sons of perdition. What must a man do to commit the unpardonable sin? He must receive the Holy Ghost, have the heavens opened unto him, and know God, and then sin against him. After a man has sinned against the Holy Ghost, there is no repentance for him. He has got to say that the sun does not shine while he sees it; he has got to deny Jesus Christ when the heavens have been opened unto him, and to deny the plan of salvation with his eyes open to the truth of it; and from that time he begins to be an enemy. This is the case with many apostates of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

When a man begins to be an enemy to this work, he hunts me, he seeks to kill me, and never ceases to thirst for my blood. He gets the spirit of the devil—the same spirit that they had who crucified the Lord of Life—the same spirit that sins against the Holy Ghost. You cannot save such persons; you cannot bring them to repentance; they make open war, like the devil, and awful is the consequence.”

Welllll...finally we get the REAL McCOY basic belief of mormonism admitted to.

I, for one Normandy, appreciate the candor.

And then there’s that statement that goes...

“Providence has sent me here to save you and heaven help all those that have been against me.”
