I never said anyone said he was. I said “he is not God”. The way some prattle over him, one would have to wonder. I probably should have said “a god”.

Please provide 1 post that a fellow FReeper says he is.

Why define the boundaries so narrow? Why does it have to be a FREEPER in your eyes? Why not just a plain Mormon leader?

Here, I'll make it easy for you: According to Mormon teachings, as expressed well here by the 12th Lds "president" of the church; and further commonly taught at the pop level by Mormonwiki...is this assessment of all men, whether its Glenn Beck or not:

Man is a god in embryo and has in him the seeds of godhood, and he can, if he will, rise to great heights. Lds "prophet" Spencer W. Kimball
Source: Lds.org

Human beings are "god in embryo" who began as individual "intelligences", were begotten by our literal Heavenly Father and one of his wives as "spirit children", and then were sent here to earth as part of a plan to give us physical bodies in which we could exercise free agency and prove our own worthiness unto godhood.
Source: Mormonwiki

So, who says Glenn Beck is a god?

Well, Mormon leaders do. In fact, they say all of us are gods in embryo...and will grow up to full-grown "godhood" as long as we become married temple Mormons in good standing with the Mormon church.

Now, if you're claiming Glenn Beck dishonors his leaders and prophets and disagrees with that teaching; well, that's an argument from silence.

Prove it or shut up.

What's absolutely hilarious is that svcw stated the truth: Glenn Beck isn't God...and then you got repeatedly hot & bothered by claiming she said he was. Uh, no; in fact, she stated exactly the opposite!!!

How long have you had this reading comprehension issue, NoGrayZone?

You know on this post of yours I'm responding to, if you would have simply stuck to a broader question -- like "Please provide 1 post that somebody says he is" -- that would have been a fair challenge.

And for that challenge, I answered it above.

But then for you to go off full-cocked -- beginning as you did in post #149: As I have previously asked, post 1 comment of ANY FReeper stating so. If you can't, you are committing sin....NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'

Again, why does it HAVE to be a FREEPER who thinks Glenn Beck is God?

And what? You don't think some Mormon FREEPERS might actually adhere to their teachings that Glenn Beck, you, me & them are "gods in embryo," too??? On what grounds do you think NO Mormon FREEPERS adhere to that basic Mormon teaching?

Where is the "bearing false witness" about our neighbors? Which "neighbors" are you referencing? Your Mormon neighbors? What? You're telling us they ALL don't believe that ALL of us -- Glenn Beck included -- are "gods-in-embryo?" On what grounds?

Since your repeated posts show you have basic reading comprehension issues, I've decided to post compare-and-contrast north-south worldview comparison:

SVCW's Worldview of Glenn Beck: He is NOT not God. [post #77]

[There. Did the...

increased font size,


...bold faced,
...ALL CAPS,

...help out your eyes there???...

Versus the common Mormon worldview of Glenn Beck (& every other man):
Man is a GOD IN EMBRYO and has in him the seeds of godhood, and he can, if he will, rise to great heights. - Lds "prophet" Spencer W. Kimball

There. Does that help?

OH, and btw, if you somehow might think that Glenn Beck disagrees with all kinds of official Mormon worldviews and teachings, what? Do you think the Mormon church and its official publishing house, Deseret, just produces material of any ole' Mormon presenter and promotes that as "an ideal missionary tool"????

Yes? No?

I went to http://deseretbook.com -- which is owned by the Mormon church -- to find its description of the Lds church's resource re: Beck. Here's an excerpt of their description of GLENN BECK's PRESENTATION that GLENN BECK APPROVED for his religious body to circulate worldwide!

...In this presentation, Glenn Beck tells an audience of nearly 7,000 about his conversion to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints...Glenn bears his testimony about home teaching, tithing, and the transforming power of the Spirit....Glenn's story will strengthen the testimony of any Latter-day Saint. In addition, An Unlikely Mormon will be an ideal missionary tool.
