Topic: Mormonism is a cult? | |
---|---|
Very interesting...
Seems all's not well for the faithful. Dobson's faithful flock, although supporting many of the same issues as Beck's people, cannot support each other? So much for Christian love and good conservative values haha After all, as many evangelicals point out Mormonism is nothing but a cult. This is not my position but something I have been told by local evangelicals and have read in this article and elsewhere. I guess following the defeat in the last election it's time for these various factions to start turning on each other again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Glenn Beck Story Pulled Because of his Mormon Faith? James Dobson's Focus on the Family pulled an article about Glenn Beck's book "The Christmas Sweater" from one of its Websites after complaints from followers, the Mormon Times reports. Earlier this week an anti-Mormon group called Underground Apologetics issued a release through Christian News Wire: "Glenn Beck was a CNN host and will move to Fox News in January. Beck is currently promoting his book, 'The Christmas Sweater.' The CitizenLink story focuses on Beck's faith and why he wrote 'The Christmas Sweater.' While Glenn's social views are compatible with many Christian views, his beliefs in Mormonism are not. Clearly, Mormonism is a cult. The CitizenLink story does not mention Beck's Mormon faith, however, the story makes it look as if Beck is a Christian who believes in the essential doctrines of the faith." A Focus on the Family staffer wrote to the Mormon Times, "You are correct to note that Mr. Beck is a member of the Mormon church, and that we did not make mention of this fact in our interview with him. We do recognize the deep theological difference between evangelical theology and Mormon theology, and it would have been prudent for us at least to have pointed out these differences. Because of the confusion, we have removed the interview from CitizenLink." The Christmas Sweater remains atop the New York Times Best Sellers list. |

Whoever wrote the article quoted above did a poor job of explaining what was going on. In one paragraph the author makes it sound like the news clip was pulled because an evangelical group complained that the author being discussed is Morman, and in the next paragraph it sounds like the Morman Times wanted the clip pulled (which I doubt). As far as the issue itself, I am not sure why this is a major story. Is it surprising that evangelicals tend to promote evangelicals, rather than those of other faiths? |

The only difference between a religion and a cult are the number of people who believe. . .
