Hey Glen!

Weren't you planning on becoming a "god" of your very own planet? Or not, what's up with that?

Aren't Mormon women in the afterlife supposed to be eternally pregnant?

How about the 6' tall inhabitants of the Sun and Moon?

And what about the planet Kolob Glen?

This doesn't sound like New Testament Christianity to me.

Many Hindus, Buddhists, Zoroastrianists, Animists and Druids are probably nice clean living people, too. None of them are Christians, either.

Jesus Christ gets to decide.

Not you. Not Franklin Graham. Not any committee.

Of course he would insist that . . . he's a mormon . . . they just can't believe that their man-made religion will take them straight to Hell by the tens of thousands, and are trying to feel better here on earth spreading this heresy.

There's no way that mormonism in any way equates with Christianity. There's only one God, not tens of thousands.

And they've been under orders to stress the similarities ever since people like Mittens Romney became eligible for high office. Whereas, if you really study their written material, Christianity is abhorred by the mormons.

Let it slide. If Mittens is the nominee, the presstitutes are going to “go there” in the biggest way—white salamanders, magic underwear whatever. Frankly, I don’t care a hoot. Save for a Muslim, I will vote for anyone other than the Marxist, lazy, dishonest, empty suit, racialist 0bama.

As an ex-mormon, I know many good people who are mormon, doesn’t make them Christian in the Biblical sense. When mormon doctrine and theology is tested against the Bible, it fails.

Mormons worship a god who earned his way to becoming god, that he wasn’t eternal. He resides on the planet Kolob.

Mormons deny the trinity.

Mormons believe lucifer and christ are literally brothers.

Mormons believe that they can earn their way to becoming a god, like the one they worship.

Mormons believe that god and christ engage in celestial polygamy. Creating spirit babies needed to populate the planet.

Mormons believe that only those who are worthy temple recommend holders will dwell with god in the highest of 3 eternal kingdoms. All others will be cut off from their god’s presence.

Mormons believe and engage in pagan rituals that are required in order for one to complete the requirements needed in order to attain exaltation (godhood).

Mormons believe in a religion founded by a “prophet” who uttered false prophecies.

Mormons were content from the inception of their religion to label all Christians as apostates, whores of Babylon.

Only lately, in the past couple of decades have they sought equal recognition and point to the name of their church as proof that they’re Christians.

They can be mormons all they want, but when they try to lay claim to Christianity, they shouldn’t be surprised when Christians question it.

Nor should they expect a pass on many of their teachings and practices that contravene the teachings of Christ and the Apostles.

Funny that your experience was not mine....

In my youth...I experienced 3 mormons....that were overtly to the person racist. One of them was a "bishop".

One of them told me I was crazy believing in Jesus......

I have very little respect for those engaged in mormonism....and none whatsoever for Mitt.

Glen Beck Vigorously Insisting Mormans are Christians.

They ARE???

After saying stuff like THIS for the last 150 years or so???



Questions put to Joseph Smith: "'Do you believe the Bible?' [Smith:]'If we do, we are the only people under heaven that does, for there are none of the religious sects of the day that do'. When asked 'Will everybody be damned, but Mormons'? [Smith replied] 'Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 119).
Joseph Smith: "for the teachers of religion of the different sects understood the same passages of scripture so differently as to destroy all confidence in settling the question by an appeal to the Bible" (from Pearl of Great Price 1:12). "What is it that inspires professors of Christianity generally with a hope of salvation? It is that smooth, sophisticated influence of the devil, by which he deceives the whole world" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.270).
 
 
 
Brigham Young stated this repeatedly: "When the light came to me I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness" (Journal of Discourses 5:73); "The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God" (Journal of Discourses 8:171); "With a regard to true theology, a more ignorant people never lived than the present so-called Christian world" (Journal of Discourses 8:199); "And who is there that acknowledges [God's] hand? ...You may wander east, west, north, and south, and you cannot find it in any church or government on the earth, except the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.24); "Should you ask why we differ from other Christians, as they are called, it is simply because they are not Christians as the New Testament defines Christianity" (Journal of Discourses 10:230).
 
 
 
Orson Pratt proclaimed: "Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the 'whore of Babylon' whom the Lord denounces by the mouth of John the Revelator as having corrupted all the earth by their fornications and wickedness. Any person who shall be so corrupt as to receive a holy ordinance of the Gospel from the ministers of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent" (The Seer, p. 255).
 
 
 
Orson Pratt also said: "This great apostasy commenced about the close of the first century of the Christian era, and it has been waxing worse and worse from then until now" (Journal of Discourses
, vol.18, p.44) and: "But as there has been no Christian Church on the earth for a great many centuries past, until the present century, the people have lost sight of the pattern that God has given according to which the Christian Church should be established, and they have denominated a great variety of people Christian Churches, because they profess to be ...But there has been a long apostasy, during which the nations have been cursed with apostate churches in great abundance" (Journal of Discourses , 18:172).
 
 
President John Taylor stated: "Christianity...is a perfect pack of nonsense...the devil could not invent a better engine to spread his work than the Christianity of the nineteenth century." (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.167); "Where shall we look for the true order or authority of God? It cannot be found in any nation of Christendom." (Journal of Discourses , 10:127).
 
 
 
James Talmage said: "A self-suggesting interpretation of history indicates that there has been a great departure from the way of salvation as laid down by the Savior, a universal apostasy from the Church of Christ". (A Study of the Articles of Faith, p.182).
 
 
 
President Joseph Fielding Smith said: "Doctrines were corrupted, authority lost, and a false order of religion took the place of the gospel of Jesus Christ, just as it had been the case in former dispensations, and the people were left in spiritual darkness." (Doctrines of Salvation, p.266). "For hundreds of years the world was wrapped in a veil of spiritual darkness, until there was not one fundamental truth belonging to the place of salvation ...Joseph Smith declared that in the year 1820 the Lord revealed to him that all the 'Christian' churches were in error, teaching for commandments the doctrines of men" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 3, p.282).
 
 
 
More recent statements by apostle Bruce McConkie are also very clear: "Apostasy was universal...And this darkness still prevails except among those who have come to a knowledge of the restored gospel" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol 3, p.265); "Thus the signs of the times include the prevailing apostate darkness in the sects of Christendom and in the religious world in general" (The Millennial Messiah, p.403); "a perverted Christianity holds sway among the so-called Christians of apostate Christendom" (Mormon Doctrine, p.132); "virtually all the millions of apostate Christendom have abased themselves before the mythical throne of a mythical Christ whom they vainly suppose to be a spirit essence who is incorporeal uncreated, immaterial and three-in-one with the Father and Holy Spirit" (Mormon Doctrine, p.269); "Gnosticism is one of the great pagan philosophies which antedated Christ and the Christian Era and which was later commingled with pure Christianity to form the apostate religion that has prevailed in the world since the early days of that era." (Mormon Doctrine, p.316).
 
 
 
President George Q. Cannon said: "After the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized, there were only two churches upon the earth. They were known respectively as the Church of the Lamb of God and Babylon. The various organizations which are called churches throughout Christendom, though differing in their creeds and organizations, have one common origin. They all belong to Babylon" (Gospel Truth, p.324).
 
 
President Wilford Woodruff stated: "the Gospel of modern Christendom shuts up the Lord, and stops all communication with Him. I want nothing to do with such a Gospel, I would rather prefer the Gospel of the dark ages, so called" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 2, p.196).

my disclaimer:...I know some lovely Mormon people...great people....moral and upstanding....I also know of some stinkers.... and I will vote for Mitt if he's the candidate....

I honestly don't think that Mormons really get into their "history" and their "theology"...how could anyone accept that?

"Christian" means "Christ" centered.....everything about Jesus Christ....lets be real...Mormons' center is Joeseph Smith, their temples, and their culture...

No wonder Glenn Beck supports Romney; Joseph Smith and Romney have a lot in common.

Glen Beck simply doesn’t understand the definition of historic Christianity.

Putting the word Jesus in your texts doesn’t make mormons Christian any more than it makes Muslims Christian.

They both have christian connections, but there’s no message from Christ about a camel jockey from Mecca taking over Jesus’ movement any more than there’s a message about some New York Stone Gazer doing the same.

Both those directions are pretty absurd when you think about it.

Nor is there any message about Sun Myung Moon, either.

Do Mormons think Moonies are a cult? Anyone know?

...and you expected... what instead?

Were you under the impression that Mormons typically insist that they are -not- Christian?

The lds-org denies that Jesus is the Creator, that everything was created THROUGH Him, BY Him and FOR Him.

They deny that Jesus created even the angels out of nothing.

They do NOT teach the truth about Jesus.

Popcorn please. Here we go again with the same ol’ insecure bunch spending time and energy excluding others who believe in the ressurection. Not being a Christian myself I find it mildly entertaing. Carry on. :-)

This morning Glen Beck was discussing "what is a Christian" and used the full title of the LDS Church as proof they are Christians, not some whacked out cult based on a modern day "prophet".

What's that old saying about a BOOK and it's COVER?
