Here's a new blog on " Myths and Truths about Mormonism "

Glenn Beck is a popular author, media personality on the FOX News Channel, brainchild of the 9/12 Project, 1 and a devout Mormon. In an interview with Deseret News , Beck stated, “I presently serve as a ward missionary, elder’s quorum teacher and serve with my wife in the stake’s addiction-recovery program.” 2 Beck’s views on faith and politics appeals to many conservatives; however, Christians are encouraged to use discernment. Mormons typically take Christian terminology, such as “Jesus,” “God,” and “The Bible,” and redefine them with their own cultic meanings, and the result is the “skin of the truth stuffed with a lie.” Mormonism, therefore, teaches “Jesus” is the spirit brother of Lucifer, “God” was once a man who became a god, and “The Bible” is old divine revelation but new divine revelation can be found in the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price.

I even recently caught a few minutes of Beck’s interview with evangelicals Jerry Falwell Jr., chancellor or Liberty University, and Peter Lillback, president of Westminster Theological Seminary, on this subject. Seeing this, I wondered, just what do these two evangelical leaders, who are entrusted with training up the pastors of tomorrow, have in common with a cultist in the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints? Glenn Beck has openly shared about his journey into Mormonism, and there’s even a YouTube video of him sharing his testimony. [1] Moreover, in an interview with Deseret News , he stated, “I presently serve as a ward missionary, elder’s quorum teacher and serve with my wife in the stake’s addiction-recovery pro...

Recently someone sent me a link to a blog, wherein the blogger had interviewed various Christian leaders on the subject of approaching Mormons. He found the common denominator between each interviewee was the fact they identified their activity as “dialogue.” He then asserted: The great thing about the term “dialogue” is that it implies a two-way interaction. It means that both sides will have an opportunity to communicate their views, and both sides will be expected to listen to each other. The term “evangelism” suggests that one party has the knowledge and will be dispensing it to the other side, who is merely a passive recipient. In dialogue the two parties approach each other as equals, and both have an opportunity to be active participants ( http://tinyurl.com/nou49f ). To a certain extent, I can understand the guy’s diplomacy. Angry rants and half-cocked character attacks levied against a person’s own beliefs can certainly make a mess of things. For a Christian, it can be a way ...
