Fox News commentator Glenn Beck will deliver the commencement address at Liberty University's May 15 graduation.
“Beck is one of the few courageous voices in the national media standing up for the principles upon which this nation was founded,” Jerry Falwell Jr., chancellor of Liberty University, said in the school newspaper's story.
The baccalaureate address will be delivered by Paige Patterson, president of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, whom Falwell called one of the “patriarchs of Christian higher education."

In 2008, Focus on the Family pulled an interview with Beck over concerns with his Mormon faith. Christianity Today did a feature on Liberty last fall and has followed Beck's call to "leave your church" if it promotes social justice.

But let's not word it so harshly, lest we offend other conservatives who appreciate him for what he is doing. Let's just say we are praying for him every day to come to his senses...
Shaking my head.
If you go back to post #7, my major concern with Beck is not that he chooses to practice whatever religion he wants. It's that he exports it for others to embrace.
It's one thing if somebody wants to home-grow their spiritual "pot" in their backyard tares; 'tis another when they say it has "street value" and hypes it door-to-door to unwary users.
Beck's backpack, white shirt, tie & bicycle is his DVD & microphone.
If you go back to post #7, my major concern with Beck is not that he chooses to practice whatever religion he wants. It’s that he exports it for others to embrace.

BINGO!
Hey Rip, you may want to come support Beck on this thread...he seems to need it.

Conservatism be damned, let’s fry the dude for being misguided, deceived and a cultist.

Not fry him, certainly, but definitely not accept what he says without question or trust him without verifying. He has proven that, in his personal life at least, he is not completely reliable or researches everything as much as he says he does.
Haven’t watched Beck’s show in a while until recently. I like what he says and I think it does a lot of good.
Something always comes up though, and he ends up seeming to be on the wrong track. I must say, he still fails the test when it comes to Obama’s eligibility.
Got a link for this assertion, so that I can 'research it myself'?
But one has to do this while having a CHRISTIAN background, or there is NOTHING to stop considering MORMONism as viable, just like Islam, Hinduism or Christianity.
Good catch. I’m expecting crickets on that documentation.
He’s as free as you and I are to express faith in God, but I don’t see him proselytizing on the radio or TV. Apparently you do.
He’s certainly doing more good than most.

You have got to be kidding...
The king of cut and paste is asking for help finding a quote? If you knew so much about one of the most prominent members of the faith you love to hate, then you should definitely become familiar with Beck's conversion story. He spent 6 months trying to tear it apart and prove it wasn't true, using all the resources available... yes the Internet too... before joining.
I expected more from you and your html library. I won't do the work for you, but I suggest you start at youtube and work your way from there. You'll find it easy enough.
You too?
Surely some of you guys have seen or read his story about that.
Perhaps less time at Lighthouse Ministries and more time going to the source might be helpful. Just a thought...
I won't do the work for you, but I suggest you start at youtube and work your way from there.
That's ok.
If you REALLY like make others track down what you obviously have at your fingertips; I guess that is your perogative.
I, OTOH, will continue to C&P the evidence I allude to, or post a link for folks.
Well, you can start with the DVD mentioned in post #7 & the clip Elsie found in post #56. (And that's just the tip of the iceberg)
Funny. I noticed you STILL didn’t give a source.
I suspect one doesn’t exist. Just another LDS faith promoting rumor.
Surely some of you guys have seen or read his story about that.

The one out there says NOTHING about him researching Mormonism, it says his ‘wife to be’ wanted him to find RELIGION”, which is what he did.
True Christianity isn’t RELIGION, it is a RELATIONSHIP. But the LDS don’t ever get that.
