Mormonism is NOT compatible with Evangelicalism. Is he trying to "Restore Christianity" Like Joseph Smith? Is this what the "Restore Honor" rally was about?

1. Is this guy....

Is this guy Glenn Beck's "Jerimiah Wright"? He claims this guy, and his son, to be one of his mentors:

Cleon Skousen

3. yeah, they don't even know the guy is, & you betcha that they'd sh*t if they did

In fall of 2007, political commentator Glenn Beck began promoting The 5,000 Year Leap on his show, describing it as "divinely inspired" and written by someone "much more intelligent than myself".<32> That book claims that the U.S. Constitution was actually based on Christian virtue as well as Enlightenment philosophy.<8> Skousen's son Paul Skousen asked Beck to write the foreword for a new edition of the book. Texas Governor Rick Perry has also promoted the book.<33><34>

After Glenn Beck began promoting Skousen's The 5,000 Year Leap in March 2009, it went to number one in sales on the Amazon.com charts and stayed in the top 15 throughout the following summer. In September 2009, the book was being sold at 9-12 Project meetings and was often used as source material for 9-12 Project speakers.<8>

2. the last thing I want is GLENN F*CKING BECK trying to teach me ANYTHING about his viewpoint on the

bible, and Jesus, my savior. I sent (many months ago) an email to several Christians, some who consider themselves Evangelical, showing the Prayer Line guy going off about Beck's mormon beliefs, and of course - none of them responded.

4. Mormons believe...

Mormons believe that early Native Americans, who were a lost tribe of Israel, from about 600 BCE to 400 CE...had horses, domesticated cows, sheep and pigs, steel, the wheel, barley and wheat, silk, compasses and all sorts of completely crazy sh*t that have been COMPLETELY proven 100% wrong by all of the scientific communities:

5. wow. lol. I'm part Cherokee, so add that to the list of reasons I don't trust their

cult. Sadly, Beck leads (along with Hannity, Rush, and Palin) a group of several extremist "hyper-religious" powerful talking heads who, though not holding office, hold control and power over 10+ million or more American adults who are, under the right conditions, dangerous, imho.

6. Mitakuye Oyasin!

We are all related!

We need to spread this far and wide, and drive a wedge between the Evangelicals and Beck.This will disrupt their momentum. This makes the Jerimiah Wright thing pale in comparison. Everybody email Rachel Maddow and tell her to cover this!! Glenn Beck is a Mormon!! Glenn Beck is a Mormon!!! Scream it to the rafters!!!

7. Chritian News Wire: Glenn Beck Promotes a False Jesus

Glenn Beck Promotes a False Jesus

MADISON, Wisc., Aug. 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- Glenn Beck promotes a false gospel. However, many of his political ideas can help America.

The "Restoring Honor" rally was a good idea to promote the values of America. However, when Beck ventured into the realm of "revival", his beliefs are open to scrutiny.

Despite mentioning God, Beck's Mormonism and other false religions promote a false gospel. "I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ." (Galatians 1:6-7)

He accuses President Obama of false theology. Beck is hypocritical as the Mormon church has propagated deception for years. Obama's liberation theology is in equal error.

Our country was founded on Judeo-Christian values. Mormonism is not a Christian denomination but a cult of Christianity.

Some Mormon beliefs from "Christianity, Cults and Religions" (Rose Publishing, 2005):

1) God has a physical body and so does his wife.

2) No Trinity. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are three separate gods. People can become gods.

3) Jesus was created by sexual union between God and Mary.

4) Jesus was married.

5) Jesus' death does not atone for all sin.

6) Baptism for the dead.

7) African descendants were not granted Mormon privileges until 1978.

8) Jesus and Satan were spirit brothers.

8. you watch, there will be thousands of new followers of Mormonism because of him, or of course there

already are. His pushing of that book by Cleon surely has led people into believing those odd viewpoints that twist the long grounded beliefs of mainstream Christianity. I might make a thread based on your info provided, plus I love seeing those who clearly are against Obama at that website, attacking Beck. I think the word is getting out about Beck, and it'll be great to have them reject him and then his core followers disrupt the GOP.

9. 40 mins ago on WaPo: Conservative Christian talk radio crackling with debate about Beck's Mormonism

Two days after Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally drew a crowd that stretched from the Lincoln Memorial to the World War II Memorial, many Americans were still trying to figure out if the commentator had just seized the mantle of the religious right.

Conservative Christian talk radio was crackling with debate about Beck's Mormonism.

10. "The Apostle Paul warns Christians against uniting with unbelievers in spiritual endeavors.."

Brannon Howse, a conservative writer and founder of Worldview Weekend, which organizes Christian conferences, criticized evangelical participation in that event in a column this week.

"The Apostle Paul warns Christians against uniting with unbelievers in spiritual endeavors," Howse wrote. "While I applaud and agree with many of Glenn Beck's conservative and constitutional views, that does not give me or any other Bible-believing Christian justification to compromise Biblical truth by spiritually joining Beck.

11. Is Glenn Beck preaching Mormon 'restoration' theology?

Is Glenn Beck preaching Mormon 'restoration' theology?

"Does God speak through Glenn Beck?" While secularists at MSNBC smirk and some on the "permanent left" deride this question, believers understand that God chooses special messengers. Catholic theology says you don't have to be a saint for God to speak through you. So does God speak through the Fox News man?

12. I'm going to Hell anyway

I believe in social justice. There's something about my nominally Protestant upbringing that instills it in me.
