I watched James Robinsons program this morning precisely because his guest was
Glenn Beck. They said Glen's radio broadcast is the third largest in our country
today. Beck makes no apologies for being Mormon. His program, though
thematically a political one has taken on a heavily spiritual tone and
Christians who are conservative in nature have embraced his conservative
politics and in many cases have even unwittingly embraced his brand of religion.
Robinson said that Beck had recently spoken in his home church named Gateway and
that he was sure Beck knew Jesus. I have spoken to enough Mormons myself to know
these two things:
One, they will claim to have accepted Christ as Saviour
Two, they do not mean the same person as the Bible describes as Jesus.
Robinson and apparently this Gateway Church and scores and thousands of professing believers have invited a different doctrine concerning Christ into their home.
Shame!
The were lots of playful jabs between Robinson and Beck today. Beck also made some playful jabs at the Bible that were laughed at by Robinson and his audience. Beck said he had been reading First John A lot this week. Then he backed up and corrected himself. He said he had been reading chapters one through four because the author gets off on chapter five. Everyone laughed.
Chapter five is then nothing to laugh about. It says he that hath the son hath life but he that hath not the son of God hath not life. It says that there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost and these three are one. That is nothing to laugh about.
Beck's politics may appeal to the conservative Christian today but his theology is damnable. Some careless Christians have endorsed his theology just because they like his politics.
Ones theology is so much more important than his politics we would be better off giving this country to the devil than giving one soul the false impression that Mormonism is a viable Christian faith.

- Is not First John inspired?
- Is John's epistle just his opinion about Christ?
