Sunday.....Christianity.....Crossing The Line

A vacation day permitted me to listen to Glen Beck's morning radio program. His references to Jesus, Christianity and salvation seem to be increasing. His broadcast skills are an effective tool in awakening the American public to nefarious schemes both within our own present government and from world elites. The question that should be addressed though  is how effective is he at assimilating Mormonism into Christianity? Mormonism is a very precise religion, well documented and very clear in what it chooses to reveal. The problem is that it readily chooses to reveal only the vague similarities to Christianity. Suffice it to say here that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches polytheism, a created Jesus and gods evolved from men. It's salvation is one of works, which is no salvation at all, and it speaks of faith in a Jesus that is not the Jesus of Scripture! So when Christians listen to Glen and he evangelizes, how are we to take this? Do we rejoice that the name of Jesus is exalted? Well, do we rejoice to see Mormon missionaries walking from house to house, for there is no difference? What are we willing to give up for a Republican congress? The gospel itself?  The same problem exists, although to a lesser extent, with Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and others. We are citizens bonded together in a common cause but that cause does not extend to
Christian doctrine. Its limit, as to our unity, is in being a God-fearing people. Rush does not exceed this. Hannity takes it to the limit but Glen Beck demolishes the boundary of what is Christian and what is not as he has taken on the mantle of prophet and the clerical robes of George Whitefield. Some might be concerned for Mormons who may be slighted in this but it would be better to direct that concern to those who have false gospels brought, special delivery, to their very doors. Some might be concerned that internal divisions might hamper Republicans from taking back the Congress in November, but that concern would be better directed towards a future America that no longer could distinguish between the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the many false gospels brought in His name. This is one of the lures of politics that cause some to shun involvement altogether, that we compromise the gospel for personal freedoms, which, without the gospel, are merely freedoms to choose which way to remain alienated from Him whose is the only truth that can set one free. Thomas Jefferson was no Christian. To meet with him under the umbrella of a Constitutional Republic would have been a privilege, to meet with him before his pulpit would be an abomination, and Glen Beck's pulpit no less so. The web site (www.equip.org) can supply more than is necessary to determine whether Mormonism is a Christian religion.
