Sean Hannity is more than a disappointment; he is a light-weight.

Glenn Beck taught me everything I know about the Left, beginning with his blackboard and the pics of all of obozo’s commie cabinet. I admire and listen to Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh and I catch Hannity on TV when I'm able to. These men are our Band Of Brothers of the Air Waves for our time.

So, you can condemn her if you choose, but I choose to think the best and pray for God to help her.

I'd be one of the last to condemn HER, for being mislead into a hellish 'religion'.

If she chooses to Stay there for a good(?) long time, then perhaps I may have to reconsider.

Having FAITH is a wonderful thing; as long as it is in the RIGHT thing.

Having faith that Jesus, the Son of GOD, has secured your salvation is a blessing beyond words.

Having faith that Jesus, the son of your gardener, has secured your salvation is not so much.


The Jesus of MormonISM is NOT the Jesus of Christianity.

Was Beck able to write the entire letter without crying?

“Beck likely considers himself an iconoclastic political independent that refuses to adopt strictly conservative or liberal positions to please either side. Fair enough. “

Which would make him... Bill O’Reilly.

The world needed another Ted Baxter...

I feel your mind is made up.

Consider any 'lectures' to be delivered to LURKERS.

But; since THEY are not posting; I just MUST use someone who has brought up certain ideas.

You are merely the lucky (un?) fella whose name is in lights.

You might do better if you would highlight WHAT JESUS DID - instead of always yelling what the Mormons do.

Just a clue.

You can’t convert people to Christianity by screaming Mormonism at them. It just doesn’t work that way.
I’m sorry you feel compelled to bombard everybody.

If the FACTS. that Mormonism has recorded. convinces no one that it is NOT Christianity; then I would stop what I'm doing.

I'm sorry you are compelled to feel this way about me.


 
Acts 17:18-19
 18.  A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to dispute with him. Some of them asked, "What is this babbler trying to say?" Others remarked, "He seems to be advocating foreign gods." They said this because Paul was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.
 19.  Then they took him and brought him to a meeting of the Areopagus, where they said to him, "May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?
 
Acts 18:11
    So Paul stayed for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.
 
 
 
 
 
Romans 15:4
 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
 
 
Romans 16:17
   I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.
 
 
1 Corinthians 4:17
   For this reason I am sending to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.
 
 
1 Corinthians 11:2
 2.  I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the teachings,  just as I passed them on to you.
 
 
Ephesians 4:14-15
 14.  Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
 15.  Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.
 
 
2 Thessalonians 2:15
   So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings  we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.
 
 
2 Thessalonians 3:6
  In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is idle and does not live according to the teaching  you received from us.
 
 
1 Timothy 1:3-4
 3.  As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer
 4.  nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. These promote controversies rather than God's work--which is by faith.
 
 
1 Timothy 1:7
  They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.
 
 
1 Timothy 2:7
   And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.
 
 
1 Timothy 4:1-2
 1.  The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
 2.  Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.
 
 
1 Timothy 4:6
   If you point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, brought up in the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.
 
 
1 Timothy 4:11
  Command and teach these things.
 
 
1 Timothy 6:3-5
 3.  If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,
 4.  he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions 
 5.  and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
 
 
2 Timothy 1:13
  What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus.
 
 
 2 Timothy 2:15-17
 15.  Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
 16.  Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.
 17.  Their teaching will spread like gangrene.
 
 
2 Timothy 3:16-17
 16.  All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
 17.  so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
 
 
 2 Timothy 4:3-4
  3.  For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
  4.  They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
 
 
Titus 1:11
   They must be silenced, because they are ruining whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach--and that for the sake of dishonest gain.
 
 
Titus 2:1
  You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine.
 
 
Titus 2:15
  These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.
 
 
 Hebrews 13:9
 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings.
 
 
 2 Peter 2:1-3
 1.  But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
 2.  Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
 3.  In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
 
 
2 John 1:10
  If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him.

"You can’t convert people to Christianity by screaming Mormonism at them. It just doesn’t work that way."

Wanna bet?

Here's the way I see it...instead of looking at the delivery, the messenger, whatever, look at the TRUTH that is being delivered...once people learn to get over their own prejudices and biases and most importantly, pride...only then will they be open to receiving the message.

Elsie has a very unique delivery method that many find offensive. Like I said above, they find it so only because their eyes are currently covered with scales...

I'll pray for your family members, regardless of the "help" they are getting from the LDS church, it is a false gospel...are you concerned about their eternal life or temporal life?

Norquist backed out on Beck. Becks show Wednesday at 5 should be VERY interesting. Norquist due to speak at conference in Harrisburg PA in April. Probably to promote book re IRS as bad guys. Has spoken here in past but NEVER does q and a. In and out. Muslim Brotherhood connections are critical. I will attend conference and follow up.
