I remember the day that I used those two letters together on the religion forum and had my comment deleted for it, with an explanation from the religion moderator that "potty language", his/her words, not mine, was not allowed on the religion forum.
Standards are slipping, I suppose.
Again, the Everything includes everything but people which is reserved for God.
You are missing your mortal limitations and going beyond them.
No dear. We can judge everything against the Word of God. God reserves that right for a person’s heart.
Glenn Beck publically giving his testimony of joining the mormon church is sin because it goes against Jesus’ command of proclaiming the gospel. Instead, Beck proclaimed a false gospel.
Thanks for the encouragement of calling out Beck’s sin.
Not precisely, unless you are going to accuse those here of being in the pay of Soros. What a person BELIEVES is the foundation of their world view. Beck expouses his world view - and he liberally infuses it with mormon view points and even doctrine (he believes jews migrated here to the americas for instance).
Secondly - the belief system of mormonisn is obscure to the uninitiated and sprinkled with enough "Christianese" to sound legitimately Christian. So what is the foundational and historical beliefs infused into mormonism that one needs to be aware of. Smith aspired to be the president/king of America near the end of his life. Young migrated to Utah and attempted to set up mormonism as a theocratic empire separate from the US in general. Temple mormons swore an oath of vengence against the gov't of the US (until about 1927 iirc). Beck and other mormons are feeling apocalyptic fervor at the possiblity of the "White Horse" prophecy being fulfilled - which would result in a mormon theocracy being established over America.
These are some of the teachings and doctrines that are infused into the fabric of the mormon world view which Beck adhears to - but I dare say conservatives in general reject.
An attack is to bring false information - what is presented about mormonism here is substantuated by their prophets, writings and doctrines. If they spent as much time perusing the doctrines of Islam, I can understand that.
Islam is not trying to pass itself off as Christianity in an effort to appear legitimate for starters. Secondly, I'm not thrilled with the concept of a mormon theocracy replacing our Gov't (as screwed up as it is). And there are plenty of people exposing the doctrines/teachings of Islam - its very open, not so with mormonism with its secret (sacred) ceremonies, PR controlled 'history' and sanitized image it presents. If you want to endorse beck in ignorance of the doctrinal framework mormonism brings to beck's world view - that is your choice. But I cannot subscribe to that 'view' because of what he brings to the table demanding equal ground - those same mormon views of gov't.
Read the entire thing Mathew 23, he clearly identifies these people by their behavior and calls them out by that behavior. He was focused on sinners that belonged to a particular group.
Do you think he condemned all the members of that group, really? Based on their associations?
He is talking to a group, which in of itself not personal.
When I say he personally condemns, it is to say “Hey Mike, You are going to Hell because you are a Mormon ....” (BAD EXAMPLE) Similar to stoning the Prostitute but only worse
Vs.
All Mormon’s will go to hell unless they accept the teachings of Jesus Christ as there Lord and Savior and reject John Smith as a false Prophet. (GOOD EXAMPLE)
The only thing you guys are doing wrong, is saying his name, don’t acknowledge him
You are making this a personal attack instead of something Godly.
Glad I don’t go to your Church, I know that authority is reserved for God and pray that I am with God not against him. For only God shall Judge a Person and I have no right to ask God to Judge for me and against another.
If you say that stuff to him, he won’t answer you and will call security.

WOW
It sure is slipping, this Un-Godly thing should never have been posted under religion.....it is clearly a personal attack with people with vendettas against a man.
Read the entire thing Mathew 23, he clearly identifies these people by their behavior and calls them out by that behavior. He was focused on sinners that belonged to a particular group.

Which verse ???
bye bye
The whole thing, read the whole thing, that is how it is meant to be read.
You can’t take out a verse and understand it’s entire meeting without reading the entire Chapter.
Oh, wait. Forgot, what you wrote to me is really really judgmental, are you sure you don’t want to take it back?
When I say he personally condemns, it is to say “Hey Mike, You are going to Hell because you are a Mormon ....” (BAD EXAMPLE) Similar to stoning the Prostitute but only worse

So is it alright for Beck to say to me,
“Hey Nana, You are going to Hell because you are a Christian ....” ???
But you havent reads the whole Bible...
I’m not condemning him; I’m just rebuking him. There’s a big difference. I believe I’m biblical justified in rebuking someone for their sin, particularly when they are a false teacher.
Typo, I meant "paste".
the Religion Forum is not just for Christianity...
Articles on religions like Islam and Mormonism are also included here...
