Glenn Beck & Mormons - Page 11

I want to watch a news show, if I want to go to a circus, I go to one you know what am I saying?

Defend righteousness? Do you mind to explain?

So because most tv hosts suck these days, he is suddenly a breath of fresh air? Geez, the other ones must be really bad.

You mean in his private life or as a TV host? If it is in his private life it is irrelevant really you know what am I saying? Since we're discussing his work approach rather than his personal life.

Not sure about that one bro. Having a guy crying every five seconds isn't my definition of sincerity but hey to each its own.

Mormons and Beck Glenn

Comments: Well, if there is such church that is teaching these things; (he didn't say there was one)why would I want to attend it? I'm supposed to learn about God at church, not "Social Justice".
What I understand is:
He is not saying that one should go inactive or anything like that. He is saying that we should find another church that will teach what it is supposed to teach (about God).

Then you and Beck belong to the wrong church. The church welfare program is huge, our relief efforts abroad are wonderful so if that isn't social justice I don't know what the heck it is! Sorry for wanting that my Haitian brothers and sisters can enjoy some of the same benefits I do here in the US! His position is clearly non-christian.

Comments: It is not social justice, it's charity. Different things. What is so "non-christian" about him saying that politics and religion should not mix (that is the way I see his point, he didn't use those words, but I understand that is what he meant).

Mormons and Beck Glenn

The non-christian is about his whole position on what social justice is.

About mixing religion and politics it is sooo funny! When the Church pushed the whole thing against gay marriage he was one of those that supported the position of the church you know what am I saying? So now that the topic is not convenient suddenly we need a separation of church and state? How hypocritical.

Glenn Beck & Mormons

I listen to Glenn Beck frequently. He is not a reporter. He has never been a reporter. He does present news, usually news that is not reported by "journalists." However, he reports it to entertain, educate, and enlighten.

I agree with him concerning "social justice" and all the other "liberal" theology trash. He does NOT equate social justice to communism. Social justice, communism, socialism, liberal theology, and all the rest of it are all part of an anti-Christ philosophy. It took up a name in the early 1900's in the United States, calling itself "Progressivism." This philosophy places human life, and liberty, at low value compared to strict control of society.

Glenn is trying to educate everyone about this pernicious political movement and philosophy. He uses parody, outrageous statements, and all sorts of stunts to make his point. He wants people to think about it.

So, when he urges people to leave their "social justice" and "economic justice" churches, he is pointing out that those philosophies are opposite the teachings of Jesus Christ, especially as understood within the teachings of the Restoration. It is interesting, to me, that THE major "social justice" church out there is the Community of Christ, which was, at one time, the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The more they moved towards "social justice", the further they moved away from the Book of Mormon and the teachings of Joseph Smith. Eventually they got to the point where they no longer wanted to even be associated with the Restoration, as Joseph Smith taught personal responsibility and social justice teaches institutional responsibility.

I completely agree with Glenn in another way. When the LDS church begins to teach "social justice", then I will have nothing else to do with it. At that point, it will have embraced the philosophy of Cain, the religion of Satan.

Comments: SuzieSu, Sorry, but I'm not sure what your point is.

Gay marriage is wrong.
Mixing politics and religion is not good either.

Where is he hypocritical?

How social justice is in opposition to the teachings of Jesus Christ?

You're being a little over dramatic don't you think? My whole point with Beck arent his views (who cares?). My issue with Glenn is when he tries to tell people what they should do concerning their own churches. He is way out of line there you know what am I am saying? And he is embarrassing himself and the Church. I wish he would stop saying he's a member. Take a look at the Articles of Faith (11th)

All Churches have the right to preach whatever they wish to do so, he needs to leave them alone and mind his own business!

Paralegal:

I ain't going to discuss gay marriage here because its not the thread for that and I don't want the moderators to erase my post, it was just a point to show how politics ARE mixed with religion when it fits his/their agenda but when it doesn't, they suddenly want the separation you know what am I saying?
