I viewed the Glenn Beck show 8-17-10.
Glenn Beck spent the whole show trying to link the North American Indians to a Jewish heritage.
Beck knows that if he can link the American Indians to Israel he can validate Joseph Smith’s claims...Beck is corrupting the church with ecumenical unity by using national restoration as his unifying point.
The focus of the church is always the presentation of the gospel. To reform a political system without changing the hearts of men is ultimately futile. We are on a rescue mission, sent by our Creator, the One who came to earth to pay the penalty for the sin of humanity: “And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross” (Phil 2:8).
Professing agreement with this, Glenn Beck appears to hold contradictory ideas. In conflict with Mormon teaching, on his July 13, 2010, broadcast, he said, “You cannot earn your way into heaven. You can’t! There is no deed, no random act of kindness, no amount of money to spread around to others that earns you a trip to heaven. It can’t happen. It’s earned by God’s grace alone, by believing that Jesus died on the cross for you. This is what Christians believe.”
In direct contradiction to Beck, Mormon Apostle Richard G. Scott wrote, “The demands of justice for broken law can be satisfied through mercy, earned by your continual repentance and obedience to the laws of God [our emphasis]. Such repentance and obedience are absolutely essential for the Atonement to work its complete miracle in your life” (Scott, “The Atonement Can Secure Your Peace and Happiness,” Ensign [Conference Edition], November 2006, 42).
What show were you “viewing?”
