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?

Certainly not the critics whose sole source of intellectual curiosity is to cut and paste from another website. It’s very comical to behold.

Yes; it is.

We laugh (in sorrow) that MORMONs do not seem to be able to DEFEND their beliefs or even to acknowledge the WRITINGS that their own Organization has produced!

I really can’t imagine anyone interpreting the scriptures to say that one should be angry & hostile as you & the cabal seem to be on a daily basis.

And we ANTI's cannot understand seemly rational folks who follow the teachingd of a man who obviously could NOT 'interpret' scripture to have but ONE wife: Christian Scripture as well as MORMON scripture, but listened to the voice in his head to TAKE more than one.

Event: Presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney


This next question is for Gov. Romney...

Gov. Romney, do you agree with your churches belief that, after death, each Mormon man will have his own planet and on that planet be married to multiple women who will be eternally pregnant producing spirit babies?



Regardless of whether Mitt would be a good president or not, once this issue is clearly understood by the public HE IS TOAST.

I think I kinda like this new direction Reno, the whole “you guys are like Obama/The Left”.

Great magicians always work on refining and adding to their repertoire of deceptive and distracting techniques to try and be more effective.

I do find it ironic though that you would choose the Fox/Obama dynamic, for in this case it is Fox that is exposing the truth about Obama and his team in return trying to hide it via deception and distraction...

Hum, deja vu all over again...

As far as Making folks read your threads, most don’t anymore except when you hi-jack other’s which is becoming more & more frequent, kind of like kicking the door in. Interesting as well.

Of course you have the empirical data and stats that support this contention, right?

I mean a good and true member of the lords only church would never just make up a statement out of whole cloth or put forth a "feeling" as the absolute truth...

Of course not, that would be silly...

John 4

1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

I’m listening to Beck right now and you can hear his Mormonism when he refers to family. There’s something wierd about the way Mormons USE family as a tool.

Yet they never “preach” about the Mormon belief in a Goddess, a “Heavenly Mother”. They leave out a lot of secret beliefs don’t the.

Do you see a Mormon spamming that other Faiths are wrong?
________________________________________________

Would this be like the mormons frequently telling me that there’s no such thing as the trinity...

and I’m wrong to believe that there is ???

Would this be like the mormons frequently telling me I’m not “child of god” because I’m not a mormon ???

Would this be like the mormons frequently telling me that dead dunking is in the Christian Bible ???

Would this be like the mormons frequently telling me that Jesus, Abraham, Isaac et al were polygamists and it says so in the Christian Bible ???

It takes a lot of effort to get Mormons to admit to believing those things. When the 19 year-olds go door to door they try their best to sound like family oriented Baptists. It is PURE deception, Satan’s native tongue.

Silly? All one has to do is look at the posting histories of the cabal for confirmation. Have a great weekend EJ.
