He quotes or paraphrases Joseph Smith often, but does not attribute. The other day he said “we need to teach people correct principles and let them govern themselves”. That is a paraphrase of a well known JS quote.
you are correct! i stand corrected. thank you:thumbsup: im often called an alcoholic by my leadership. i like to tell them, im not an alcoholic. im a drunk alcoholics go to meetings! lol! just kidding. but being in the military, and staying sober all the time…it just doesnt happenJust a little correction here.Being in recovery from alcoholism doesn’t make you “no longer an alcoholic” You’re still an alcoholic… just a recovering one.
To the OP-- I think dianiad is right. It really depends on where you live. I would think that most Utah Mormons would agree with Beck’s views and see him as “Orthodox”. But that can’t be said about all Mormons. Just my humble opinion.

thats only in garrison tho. in the field. we dont get any. and for very good reasons. Peace 
Knowing Joseph Smith as we do, he probably got that from someone else!
ha, you need to watch the link I posted…“He talks a lot, hears voices and is unstable. Pretty much the whole package.”
haha!:d
While it may appear that Arians and Mormons may have the same concept that the 3 parts are separate and distinct individuals, a major difference between them is that Arians did not recognize Jesus’ divinity to where LDS do recognize Jesus’ divnity.. Arians, by the way, had a convoluted concept of the nature of Christ; just like the Mormons
A couple of years ago this whole “history” about Constantine was promoted in a talk given by Jeffrey Holland in their General Conference. I had a couple of missionaries bring a video of this to me at my house. I watched it with them and was just appalled at it. Glen Beck is simply repeating what he’s heard from his church authorities.I do have a beef with him. He said that when Constantine “took over” that the church and the state persecuted anyone who did not believe in the Nicene creed. He went on to say “they made everyone accept their bible…”. This is so wrong historically. The canon was not established until AFTER Constantine died and Constantine allowed all ALL faiths to practice. In fact he was very careful not to upset the pagans and he was very close to the Arians and another heretical group, whose name escapes me now. Some say he was baptized by an Arian. Arians, by the way, had a convoluted concept of the nature of Christ; just like the Mormons
Elder Holland is one of three speakers who normally speaks at their General Conference that I normally cringe at when I hear him with my Christian ears. LDS are normally enthralled with his explanation of church history with a LDS understanding of the events applied to it.
I agree with this description of Beck’s views. He’s not opposed to giving aid to the poor and his personal generosity is well known. He’s opposed to tyranny which exists when the government extracts such aid by force.Glenn Beck is referring to a movement when he says Social Justice not a parrell to what the bible promotes. Social Justice (the movement) promotes taking from others forcefully, extreme violence, deceit, socialism, communism etc. Listen more closely to him and read a couple of his books. Nothing has done our American Catholic church more harm than this idea of Social Justice nothing is more harmful to American than this radical movement known as Social Justice.
Social Justice is good; is imperiative in a justice society; Social Justice is the death of a society aiming for justice.
That’s easy…no.
While it may appear that Arians and Mormons may have the same concept that the 3 parts are separate and distinct individuals, a major difference between them is that Arians did not recognize Jesus’ divinity to where LDS do recognize Jesus’ divnity.
I didn’t say they had the same I said they both have CONVOLUTED…ideas of…
I’ve used this argument and was politely corrected…carry on.
:thumbsup:To hitch-hike off what you have said, MelanieAnne, further it “bothers” me that we (The Church) take money from the government. I understand that most of our hospitals if not all receive lots of money from governments. You know that the Shriners Hospitals for the burned where ANYONE can go does not receive money from the government and that Hillsdale college, a great protestant place of learning, does not take a red cent from them. I am appalled that we have sold our inheritance to the government. We are the ones that can give better and more effectively than anyone else.
Let’s be fair, SirThomas, Dianaid is right in her response. What would we answer if Rush Limbaugh converted to Catholicism? I think the question about Glen Beck is not reasonable and of no consequence.
Really.Knowing Joseph Smith as we do, he probably got that from someone else!
Thank you, Javi.Let’s be fair, SirThomas, Dianaid is right in her response. What would we answer if Rush Limbaugh converted to Catholicism? I think the question about Glen Beck is not reasonable and of no consequence.
