Glenn Beck on TBN

[bradleyr12]

Well......caught a glimpse of Glenn Beck's restoring love thing on TBN. What does this have to do with winning souls?

[brent]

Pffft. That is what I say every time I turn on TBN period. They have more programming about needing money, behind the scenes crap, and talking about winning the lost, than programming that does it. Personally, I wish it were illegal for TBN to exist. What a farce. It is a tool to make people rich. That's it. Very few Christian's on TV are legit. They ones that are legit broadcast on local stations as an extension beyond the four walls of the local church.

This.

Plus, Beck is a Mormon. But hey! When has that ever stopped TBN from broadcasting programming that is contrary to true Christianity? They've got Unitarian preachers on there, and Jesus-only preachers who don't believe in the trinity, so why not a Mormon? When the Antichrist steps into the rebuilt Jerusalem temple and declares himself God, TBN will probably broadcast it live.

TBN = The Baal Network.

Are any of us really surprised? I like some things Beck has to say, but when it comes to faith he is way off.

Personally, I think Beck's message and the point of his event about what is needed for America culturally and politically is right on. I think leaders of all faiths are right to support such a message, but no it shouldn't be broadcast on a Christian tv network. To me that goes too far, and would seem to suggest that the network believes Glenn Beck is a Christian. No one else will show it, but it's available on demand online.

Mormons are not Christians. What Beck said was not anti-Christian by any means.

I think you are correct; I caught his show some on Foxnews and I really liked what he was saying, but for someone like him & Romney you as a Christian are going to have to leave faith off the table in order to like. BTW I'm still not sold on Romney, but will most likey will vote for him because Obama is very dangerous in every sense of the word.

[gman]

I don't think faith in general has to be left off the table. I would like a president that has faith, and whose faith leads them to believe in the basic principles that America was built on. It doesn't matter to if that faith is Christian, Catholic, Mormon, or Jewish. Faith specific, yes. But, it is not the role of the Gov't to push a particular faith and tell people what to think and believe. I believe Beck's main point is that trying to convert people to your faith is for another place and time. Now is the time to unite on bringing back the old America where people had faith, and that faith drove them to love and serve their fellow man, and take care of each other. We've already moved to a hybrid America where the Gov't takes care of people in many respects, and Beck believes we are steamrolling toward an America where Gov't takes care of people in every respect. I think he's right. If people of faith remain divided, and they say I'm not going to get on board with restoring America because I disagree with the beliefs of Mormons or Catholics, or christians, or Jews, where will that get us? Most likely a socialist utopia where the grass that's always greener turns out to be brown.

I don't have reservations for Romney because of his faith, I have reservations for him because of his policies and his business practices. I personally know of someone that worked at a very profitable manufacturing plant in Indiana that Bain Capital came in in the mid 90's bought it out, promised the world to the employees than closed the plant within 3 yrs with no reason but to say that profits were down.
just about all of the companies that Bain Capital have come in and bought have closed or have been reduced to a size to where most that had worked there have become unemployed. Bain Capital has had huge successes in starting companies like Staples, but when it comes to buying up companies mainly for them just to make what is called a "profit run" is really what Bain & Romney are all about.

Since I don't consider TBN to be a Christian network, I don't really care what they put on the air. Beck is definitely not someone you want to listen to when he speaks on Christianity and Mormonism's inclusion in it, but his views on America and what it was meant to be are certainly in the right place.

what is the purpose of business ? is it to employ people or make a profit ? its sole purpose is to create profit. now if the businesses is run wisely there will be ample profit to share with the employees. if it does not treat its employees fairly the business will cease to exist

Do you also believe in the tooth fairy?

Why? The company I work for has a written and enforced policy on sharing with employees. They don't always do it because it is based on meeting certain financial objectives, but when they do, it basically amounts to receiving an extra paycheck. Some comapnies do more, some do less. I was impressed with my bonus the first time around. It has always been a major blessing to us.
It's not a Christian company either.
Plenty of good companies share with their employees. Many companies are employee owned. The guy for whom this thread is named takes care of his employees so well that he will be penalized under Obamacare because the insurance plan he provides is too good. Really? Things can be too good in America? Seriously, it's been nice knowing you Karl...I mean Mr. Obama. Get out of the Whitehouse and go play some basketball, or golf, or go throw some of those Hollywood parties you throw so well.

The manufacturing plant in Indiana was operating with good profits before Bain Capital came in and basically went out of its way to destroy anything that the previous owner/shareholders had built up.
