[Blood of Tyrants]

It seems to me that I disagree mostly with Beck on doctrine, not on the basics about Christianity.

Moheler is right, the language is the same, but the definitions are different. And, therein lies the danger that Christians can be fooled if they aren’t ground in doctrine.

Actually, the blood atonement for sins that was fully completed by Jesus is the bedrock of Christianity. He is described as a cornerstone and capstone “that the builders rejected”.

Mormonism teaches that Jesus died for your sins as a partial atonement. But works are required to complete the job - Works by YOU. And I am not talking about a “faith without works is dead” context.

IOW, the core basics of Christianity are exactly WHERE Mormonism differs from Christianity.

I almost became a Mormon in the late 1970’s. If you really would like a feel for what is going on, try this:

Mormonism is, in a way, more insidious than islam, due to the fact that it claims to be Christian. Don’t get me wrong, it teaches a lot of good principles regarding man’s relationship with his fellow man, but completely twists the “man’s relationship with his Creator” part. The former can bring about a better and more prosperous life, but the latter can literally steal your soul and your eternal relationship with God.

And the latter is eternal. The former is but a mist.

Proverbs: “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is death.”

Becks doctrine is not Christianity

"It seems to me that I disagree mostly with Beck on doctrine, not on the basics about Christianity."

I'm not sure what you mean here. "Doctrine" means "anything that is taught" --- indicating all teachings, at whatever level. It is a very general term, and includes "the basics about Christianity".

Considering Christ taught us to guard our doctrine, Christians are right to call Beck out whenever he invokes God’s name.
