The opening prayer of dedication at Glenn Becks "Restoring Honor" rally:

(Pastor Jehles (Pronounced "Jail") is introduced and invited to give the opening prayer of dedication at approximately the 5minute:14second mark.)

was addressed to the "gods", NOT to the one TRUE God who establised America, not to the God of the Bible or of biblical Christianity.

We watched the entire "Restoring Honor" event and "Pastor" Paul Jehles OPENING PRAYER in behalf of the nation and everyone assembled which was addressed to the Lord "gods" (plural) was appalling!

This "pastor" made a specific point of calling on the "gods" for various reasons at least SEVEN TIMES in his "prayer".

(He is introduced to give the prayer of dedication at approximately the 5minute: 14second mark.)

Having taught Homiletics, I carefully reviewed his "prayer" in order to confirm what I distinctly thought I heard. I have listened to his prayer numerous times using all of the tools at my disposal and my conclusion is this: It is clearly evident from the recorded prayer found here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47V-dpiLM78

that he was NOT making a mistake or that he had a lisp or speech impediment when he referred to the "gods". This is evident because in the very beginning of the "prayer" he prayed to God" (no plural) and then shortly thereafter, and I believe for the remainder of the "prayer", he prayed to the "gods".

This is either because "Pastor" Paul Jehles is a Mormon (which, upon further examination of his background, education, ministry and bio, is not the case), or because he was being PC and trying to appease all of the other "faiths" and the various false "gods" they represent and serve. In either case what he said from the dais and what he "prayed" in behalf of those gathered, and in behalf of the nation of America, in order to dedicate and open this event was nothing short of evil and Satanic!

To my knowledge, never before in the history of America has a supposed man of the cloth specifically prayed to the "gods" in a massive national public forum representing America and praying for the "gods" blessings upon the nation.

This is deeply disturbing and raises very real issues regarding the "spiritual" nature of the event, and Glenn Beck's relationship to "jesus"; especially in light of the fact that Mr. Beck injected Mormon theology into the event prior to the prayer by addressing the American Indians on the platform as "God's CHOSEN PEOPLE"! A title and position scripturally reserved for the Jews alone!

Mr. Beck was responsible for the event and nothing took place, no one did anything, without his direct involvement.

Pastor Paul Jehle was specifically chosen to give the OPENING prayer of dedication for the Restoring Honor rally. He does not appear to have any speech impediment.

In his "prayer" you can distinctly hear him apparently praying to the "gods" at least SEVEN different times:

He is introduced by Glenn Beck and invited to give the opening prayer of dedication at approximately 5minute: 14second mark.

Feel free to examine the following evidence for yourself.

Observations:

1) Whenever Pastor Jehles uses plurals: "peoples," "nations," "rights," "accounts," "treaties," "words" etc, he draws out the Ssss at the end of the word. When he uses singular words he does not put an "s" on the end or draw out an Ssss on the end of the word.

2) He begins his prayer by using the SINGULAR form "God" and uses the singular form "God" THREE TIMES before switching to the PLURAL word "gods" (*Note: all of the following minute and second marks are approximate):

He starts his prayer with "Lord God"(singular) 5:47

"In the name of 'God'" (singular) amen 6:42

"blessed the 'God'" (singular) of heaven 6:52

3) After this, Pastor Jehle switches to the plural term: "gods" for the remainder of his prayer. He uses the term "gods" at least EIGHT TIMES (unless "under gods" at the very end of the prayer is in fact singular. This is the only instance that is difficult to discern):

"Lord gods" used 4x's: 7:02, 7:09, 7:37, 7:43;

"Oh gods" used 1x :7:56

"You will do it because your gods" used 1x: 8:58

"Restoring gods" used 1x: 9:21

"One nation under gods" used 1x: 9:39. In this ONE case it is not clear if he is saying "God" or "gods", in every other instance it is clearly evident that he is using the plural and it is very disturbing to say the least.

My son, along with 200 others from Oklahoma City attended the rally and my son, along with EVERYONE around him was taken aback when they heard Jails praying to the "gods" and they were also very disturbed by what he said as he said it!

So what? Why does this matter? Why is what Pastor Jehle said in his prayer important?

This IS important! The reason it DOES matter is because throughout the event and on his TV and radio shows, Glenn repeatedly talks about the individual and America's need to "come to god," to return to "god". In light of Glenn's Mormonism and his specific choice of "Pastor" Paul Jehle to give the OPENING PRAYER OF DEDICATION to the "gods", which set the tone for the entire event, the preeminent question we must all ask ourselves and Glenn Beck is this =

WHICH "god"? Which "gods" are you calling us to cry out to? Which "god" are you calling America and Americans to follow and obey?

As much as I love and respect Glenn Beck, the "jesus" of Mormonism, the "jesus" and "gods" Glenn and Mormonism worship and serve are NOT the Lord Jesus Christ, or the God of the Bible. Neither are they the God who established America.

There is only ONE TRUE and LIVING God, He is a jealous God and He will NOT give His glory to another "god" because ALL OTHER "gods", including "jesus" and ALL of the "gods" of Mormonism, are FALSE "gods":

‘See now that I, I AM HE, And there is NO god BESIDES ME; It is I who put to death and give life. I have wounded and it is I who heal, And there is no one who can deliver from MY HAND.' (Deuteronomy 32:39 Emphasis mine)

You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “And My servant whom I have chosen, So that you may know and believe Me And understand that I am He. Before Me there was NO God formed, And there will be NONE after Me.

“I, even I, AM the LORD, And THERE IS NO SAVIOR BESIDES ME.

“It is I who have declared and saved and proclaimed, And there was no strange god among you; So you are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “And I AM GOD.

“Even FROM ETERNITY I AM HE, And there is none who can deliver out of My hand; I act and who can reverse it?” (Isaiah 43:10-13 Emphasis mine)

“I AM the LORD, that is MY NAME;

I WILL NOT GIVE MY GLORY TO ANOTHER,

Nor My praise to graven images. (Isaiah 42:8, Emphasis mine)

We are living in the Last days, spiritual deception and false "Christs" abound. Given the times in which we are living, it is imperative that all of us who know the true and living God use spiritual discernment in order to avoid following after false Christs, and false "gods", including the false "jesus" and false "gods" of Mormonism because all of the supposed "good works" in the world cannot save us:

"Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. “MANY will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not PROPHESY IN YOUR NAME, and IN YOUR NAME CAST OUT DEMONS, and IN YOUR NAME PERFORM MANY MIRACLES?’ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I NEVER KNEW YOU; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’" (Matthew 27:10-13, Emphasis mine)

God's Word is clear; as Christians and the Church of Jesus Christ we have a responsibility to maintain spiritual purity for the cause of Christ and in order to maintain purity regarding the genuine Gospel of Jesus Christ:

DO NOT BE BOUND TOGETHER WITH UNBELIEVERS; for what PARTNERSHIP have RIGHTEOUSNESS and LAWLESSNESS, or what FELLOWSHIP has LIGHT with DARKNESS?

Or what HARMONY has Christ with BELIAL, or what has a BELIEVER in common with an UNBELIEVER?

Or what agreement has THE TEMPLE OF GOD WITH IDOLS? For WE ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD; just as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk among them;

And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

“Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord. “And do not touch what is unclean; And I will welcome you. “And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,” Says the Lord Almighty. (2 Corinthians 6:14-18, Emphasis mine)

We need to be careful because God may be testing America as to whether or not we will serve Him and Him alone of follow after false "gods":

“If a PROPHET or a dreamer of dreams ARISES AMONG YOU and gives you a SIGN or a WONDER,

and the sign or the wonder COMES TRUE, concerning which he spoke to you, saying, ‘LET US GO AFTER O T H E R gods (WHOM YOU HAVE NOT KNOWN) and LET US SERVE THEM,’

YOU SHALL NOT LISTEN TO THE WORDS OF THAT PROPHET or that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your God IS TESTING YOU TO FIND OUT IF YOU LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL.

“You shall follow THE LORD YOUR God and FEAR HIM; and YOU SHALL KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, LISTEN to HIS VOICE, SERVE HIM, and CLING TO HIM.

“But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has HE HAS COUNSELED REBELLION AGAINST THE LORD YOUR GOD who brought you from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery, TO SEDUCE YOU FROM THE WAY IN WHICH THE LORD YOUR GOD COMMANDED YOU TO WALK. So you shall purge the evil from among you. (Deuteronomy 13:1-5, Emphasis mine)

As Christians our responsibility is to "seek first the kingdom of God", not the country of America. If that means removing ourselves from future events and rally's promoted by Mr. Beck or others that seek to "restore America" or "restore honor" while promoting "spiritual unity" at the cost of doctrinal purity between those who know the Lord Jesus Christ and individuals, denominations and cults, like Mormonism which do not, then so be it.

no idol worship there. /sarc. creepy

Did you confirm with Dr. Jehle that he said “gods?” I think if you investigate, you will find out that he did not say that—however it may have sounded. I think you are in grave error and slander. PLEASE investigate properly, by asking Dr. Jehle himself.

I don’t think Mormons call their ministers “Pastor”. I do believe they refer to their “pastors” as “Bishop” so-and-so. I could be wrong in that. However, I’ve lived in Utah for 43 years, and had LDS friends and family members. I’ve heard them refer address their pastors as “Bishop”.
