Yet I grieve. How can anyone trust a man for information when he is either he can not discern the false history his faith system relies on? How can so called conservative institutions allow him access to their masses when Beck stands in opposition to their stated mission? Okay, I'm ranting, so let me say thanks Bryon for posting this and letting us know about this guy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17744322.post-4172506794018454342010-07-15T09:52:39.494-04:002010-07-15T09:52:39.494-04:00Joe:

It is also a political-contextual theology of scripture, just from the opposing political extreme. <br /><br />If Beck's "gospel" is persuasive, I do not think it is because he is striving to deceive. Rather, it is because he is striving to persuade. Something we Christians often fail to attempt.<br /><br />Mormons annoy us Christians to death mainly because they seem to be superior Christians. And in a Glen Beck sort of way, maybe they are. But your article does a great job highlighting what's missing in the picture...<br /><br />JESUS!!<br /><br />Unfortunately too many Christians approach Jesus the same way, as a mascot for their political-contextual religion. Jesus is absent there, too.Joe Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385756442506439825noreply@blogger.com
