How Can Glenn Beck Be Right on So Much and Yet Still Believe the book of Mormon? (serious question)

Posted on 10/26/2009 7:51:02 AM PDT by Scythian

I'm a huge Beck fan, in fact I'm listening right now here

http://www.ksfa860.com/common/gap_streamer.php

but something really confuses me. It takes the ability to use real critical thinking to know what Beck (and most of us know about the state of the country and where we are heading). That is, we have the ability to discover the truth no matter how much the media or conventional wisdom try to hide it. Yet on Mormonism, Beck is cleary wrong. Any Christian knows that the book or momonism is severely flawed and that Joseph Smith was no prophet. How can Beck cut through all the chaff of what is going on in our world and come to the truth and yet believe the writings of Joseph Smith? It doesn't make sense? I'm not saying he's up to something secret, not by any means, it's just that he's so right about so many things and completely wrong on the most important thing. Now, he just said on the air that he believes Jesus is the Savior of the world and that he is Mormon.

I also think that because he is Mormon he is not attacked near as much if he was a Evangelical Bible only believer. Anyway, am I nutz or does Beck being a Mormon seem bizarre?

If you were a six-toed thumper from East Tennessee, you were allowed two wives so long as both were your sisters.

Anywhere else it would be called a prayer circle.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

Maybe so...

But not among the Christians.....

Polygamy is not a Christian “prayer circle”

Six toes. Fairly common in northern Georgia and eastern Tennessee. Often associated with extensive inbreeding.

Indeed they were. They left the entire population of Tennessee retarded.

“An evil tree cannot produce good fruit.” Most say,”Mormons are good people, but their religion is of the devil.” How can you have it both ways?

There letters are available. How about the letters smith wrote to his other 'wives' for a late night rendezvous when Emma was out of town? Go as the boys cast out of the FLDS compounds and tell me the 'good' fruit. Utah has the highest rates of depression and related drug use - tell me of the 'good' fruit. Actually it was a mormon myth of the 1800's

"Brother Taylor has just said that the religions of the day were hatched in hell. The eggs were laid in hell, hatched on its borders, and then kicked on to the earth."
- Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, v. 6, p. 176

"When the light came to me I saw that all the so-called Christian world was groveling in darkness."
- Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, v. 5, p. 73

"With a regard to true theology, a more ignorant people never lived than the present so-called Christian world."
- Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, v. 8, p. 199

Only the population of TN eh ???

and all of them closer to God because of it...

Paul had a defect also...

and looked what he accomplished for God...

To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 2 Corinthians 12:7

Joey Smith never have one of these...

Joey Smith had an ego and conceit that God never bothered to hinder...

Humility and Joey Smith were strangers...

While Paul was greatly used by God, joey smith was not...

Joey Smith instead was a pawn of the devil...

Not really. The Mormon guy came out and fired me and everybody from Tennessee. Told the driver to go back and get some Mexicans, he only wanted the best.

You can tell the Mormons by their horns.

JS appears to have been quite 'horny'.

Why so much Mormon hate on FR?

To balance the MORMON love; of course!
