Not at all. I just wonder how in-depth his “faith” is in Mormon teaching/doctrine.
But as this all relates to the original article and the bru-haha over the speaker at a commencement event. Did the other guests speakers over the years get this sort of “outrage”? Episcopalians, Roman Catholics, and even non-aligned folks (which could mean a whole lot of things).
I once heard a fellow give a motivational and encouraging speech - he was Hindu. The speech had nothing to do specifically with faith - but with taking on the world. Is my sincere enjoyment of that speech an endorsement of Hinduism?
LIberty didn’t invite Beck to preach from the pulpit, nor to share doctrinal beliefs, but to speak to core conservative values (which are actually common to Mormons and all Bible-believing Christians).
See post #56 for a major distinction. That distinction is called "militate." Does Espiscoplianism "militate" vs. the Christian faith? (Well, homosexual rectors may amount to that, and some liberal Episcopalian liberal leaders may do so...but most of that is a matter of orthopraxy issues -- leaders not holding to orthodoxy...)
Whereas Mormonism across the board counters Christianity on both orthodoxy and orthopraxy matters...and then goes further by an active militancy...52,000 missionaries...millions of print & electronic pages...etc.
Bottom line: Mormonism outrights militates vs. our faith. Lds calling us all "apostates" is the simplest, most obvious way to recognize that.
Tommy Johnson: I had to be up at that there crossroads last midnight, to sell my soul to the devil.
Ulysses Everett McGill: Well, ain't it a small world, spiritually speaking. Pete and Delmar just been baptized and saved. I guess I'm the only one that remains unaffiliated.
