Enjoyed this post...my favorite quote was.<br /><br />"Although America was founded by men of faith utilizing biblical principles and certainly by the grace of God, this country has been significantly blessed. There is no doubt about it. But there is no doubt that this nation was never a Christian nation and it never will be a Christian nation.

Period. The leadership of his own denomination was a bit leary of the guy.<br /><br />McCain was labeled a "maverick" which I understood to mean "headstrong" and knew he couldn't win in the general election.<br /><br />Thus I got into numerous debates with conservatives who did little more than recite Mormon, Mormon, Mormon, and little else and meanwhile our Kenyan-American president usurped the throne.<br /><br />If tomorrow were Election Day and your choices were either Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, who would you vote for? I would vote for Romney, hands down, no questions asked and let God deal with him when it comes to his fairy-tale for adults that passes for his religion in the Great By and By.J Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746127431922685446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-11264310650218499632010-09-01T18:24:57.761-07:002010-09-01T18:24:57.761-07:00Wait!

"...<b>A Black Man Goes to Glenn Beck's Rally</b><br /><br />"At one point, some of the people attending the Rev. Al Sharpton's "counter rally," coined "Reclaiming King," stopped me. I guess they must have been judging me by the color of my skin not the content of my character, because they asked if I was going to come join them.<br /><br />"No, I won't be there," I told them. "Why?" one of them asked with a grimace on his face. I looked at him and said, "I want to be where the Lord is and the Lord is in this place."<br /><br />One of the older black women in the group asked me if I felt like I was "selling out" for being one of the "tokens" in the Beck rally crowd?<br /><br />I laughed and said "Ma'am, Al Sharpton is a pretender. He is going to tell you to pretend that the color of your skin matters. He is going to ask you to ignore the now overwhelming proof that 50 years after the Civil Rights movement, blacks are now destroying each other faster than the KKK could have dreamed."<br /><br />As I walked away, the group stood frozen, not knowing how to reply."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=38767&s=rcmp" rel="nofollow">Link</a>J Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746127431922685446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-9699629522668711532010-09-01T06:33:47.381-07:002010-09-01T06:33:47.381-07:00Bob West - Thanks Bob.

Many will be deceived and are now, it is so sad.<br /><br />Lisa - thanks. I won't question your church or the Governor's motives, but one must wonder. We aren't called to be political. We are called to suffer as witnesses of the resurrection of Christ.<br /><br />Lee - He does have the attention of a lot of people. I don't mind him getting the attention of the Mormons and the lost, I do mind when Christians blur the line and yoke up unequally with the lost.<br /><br />Lloyd - I too am sickened. Too sing Amazing Grace together with believers blur the lines and cheapen grace.<br /><br />KB - Sorry you caught grief, although I am not surprised. Prophets are never welcomed are they?<br /><br />JD Curtis - I do mind he has taken the leadership role with believers.

I think this is one of the deceptions that we can look to seeing more of in the near future. If he is a Christian, ask him to pray to Jesus, and watch how fast he runs or is kicked out of the morman church.<br /><br />Thi is another example of the deception that satan is using, right along with a mosque at ground zero saying that it is a "healing" process. We are at war on many front, a reminder lest people forget. I haven't heard of jihad being recalled!<br /><br />Keep up the good work.

The idea that those hundreds of religions lead to God is one of Satans primary methods of deception. <br /><br />Glen Beck noted the difference between Christianity and Mormonism on Fox News Sunday yesterday and further explained that many Christians do not believe he is a Christian. So Beck clearly knows the difference.<br /><br />Unfortunately, some of the most successful "Christian" pastors in America do not. It is no wonder people are confused.<br /><br />http://westbob.blogspot.com/2010/01/big-lies-poison-for-open-mind.html<br />God bless your work, BobBob Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02109037871358072355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-64023323495879524102010-08-30T11:47:16.106-07:002010-08-30T11:47:16.106-07:00Yvonne - I am so glad you asked this question. It ...Yvonne - I am so glad you asked this question. It my be philosophically, politically, humanely, and socially accetable to say that "we all praise the same God in different ways" but it is not biblical. The bible is very clear on how one is given access to God, how one is to worship God, and how one is made righteous. That way (John 14:6) is Jesus Christ, who is exlusively the only way to God the Father. But we must understand who the Jesus of the bible is and not a Jesus of our own imagination or devising. The Mormons do not believe Jesus to be who he said he was nor do they believe Jesus accomplished the revealed will of the Father in the Bible. They have a completely differnt beieve structure that opposes what God revealed in the Scriptures.<br /><br />The reason we have so many different faiths, religons, churches, and denominations is due to the deceptive, crafty, and deceitful work of Satan as he attempts to draw po]eople away from the truth into half truths or no truth in order to worship an imaginary God which is no God. Satan the bible says parades as an angel of light deceiving people. He doesn't care if we worship or are religious as long as we do not worship the God of the bible.<br /><br />There are only two religions Yvonne. One which is biblical and reveals justification before God by faith and nothing else, and the religon contained in hundreds of difernt flavors and names that seeks to justify men before God by human works, exercises, efforts, or synergistically.<br /><br />Sunday School may teach there is one God but many religions, but that doesn't make it true. Deception is deadly, deadly to the soul and leads men to hell. Satan is an artist and expert at deception.<br /><br />Jesus Christ died according to an agreement or covenant that He made with the Father in eternity past in order to appease, propitiate or satisfy God the Father due to the sin of the human race. When one believes in the atoning work of Jesus on the cross by God given gift of faith, one is justified through the vehicle of faith. God forensically delcares that person just. Justification is not infused, earned, or obtained by any self effort or cooperation with God.<br /><br />So many religions exist to mask, hide, destroy, or alter this truth. One must recognize their sin against God, repent of that sin - which involves turning from sin and turning to Christ as the only means of salvation, forsaking any and all human effort and energy.<br /><br />Satan would love to have people beleive we are all going to the same place, just on differnt roads. This however is not true. The way to destruction is broad, the way to eternal life is narrow and there are (the bible says) few who find it.<br /><br />If you want we can correspond privately in email to furthe this discussion.Gregg Metcalfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16413691313803396844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-26092503356711448102010-08-30T11:02:58.200-07:002010-08-30T11:02:58.200-07:00Perhaps Gregg I am a wee bit niave I was under the...Perhaps Gregg I am a wee bit niave I was under the impression what ever faith one believed in we all praised the same God,but in different ways. I went to church at an early age with my mother and also to Sunday school on a sunday afternoon, we were taught that there were many religions but only ONE GOD. I know nothing about the Mormon religion I do know they used to knock on our door but left when we told them what our beliefs were.
