Faithful America claims that Fox News commentator Glenn Beck preaches a false, piecemeal gospel and has sponsored a radio ad to counter some of the claims Beck has claims made by about Christianity.
The ad says “Would you support a leader who said Jesus’ teachings can lead to Nazi

sm? Or who attacks Christian pastors for preaching the full gospel? Then why do so many Christians tune into Glenn Beck? By deriding pastors who preach the justice taught by Jesus and the prophets, Glenn Beck has urged listeners to follow his piecemeal gospel. Scripture teaches that the tongue can be like a small fire that sets a whole forest ablaze, and Christians are cautioned not to praise God in one breath while cursing those made in God’s likeness in the next,” The Atlantic reported.
Beck has spoken out against social justice ideology that is based on faith, urging his viewers to leave churches that preach liberal social justice views.
According to Beck social justice is akin to wealth redistribution and is not in the Bible. Beck said that such ideology is founded on communism and Naziism and dramatically raised up a hammer and sickle and a swastika to further enhance his point, The Atlantic said.
By contrast, Faithful America’s Beth Dahlman cites the prophets and Jesus saying, Beck “has gone after what’s at the heart of what we believe our faith tradition says. For people in our community there is just no way to read scripture and not think about social justice. It’s our obligation as people of faith to take that seriously and to do all we can to make that good news a reality,” Time reported.
The ad launches the organization’s “Driven by Faith, Not by Fear” campaign, according to Time.
The ad will be aired on local Christian radio stations and is scheduled to coincide with Beck’s scheduled appearances in South Carolina, New Jersey, New York and Washington DC.
Faithful America is connected to Faith in the Public Life, an advocacy group that often takes positions on issues such as poverty, health care and immigration.
God has struck down Glenn Beck for his stupidity by taking his eyesight away!
While I don’t wish bad things on people, perhaps a throat disease would have been better suited for Mr. Beck instead of macular dystrophy.
Glenn Beck is correct. These yahoos are mistaken.
Case closed.
GBhater, so let me get this right. God is striking down Glen Beck by removing his sight, but the pornographer Hugh Hefner is in good health and in his 80′s. God must hate Beck like you do and be totally fine with Hefner and the millions like hime. Okay, I got it. Boy God is completely different than I thought he was.
Beck is crazy, no doubt. He’s a Mormon, look into some of the stuff that they believe, pure nuttery. They cling despite DNA and anthropological evidence that shows the fraud of their religion. I consider all religions nothing more than myth and superstition but the Mormons take the cake for pure craziness .
Christians are the only group dumber than Mormons and I’m Mormon so I know what I’m talking about.
There are too many falisies in the argument. Everyone is made in God’s likeness, so by the argument you are not to curse them becomes an over the top expression of not cursing anyone. Speaking ill of or disagreeing with a person, ideal, or action produced by one made in God’s likeness is not cursing them. For the argument of social justice, Jesus saide to teach a man to fish, not to fish for him. Going around giving fish to everybody all the time and having them rely on your fish for substanence is not helping mankind nor within the teachings of Christ. Just as I cannot live on the faith of my father’s, I must build my own and live by it. We must be in the work of building and perfecting God’s children, of course with compassion and charity, but feeding them as a child is not helping them.
Jeremy, Jesus never said teach a man to fish. I don’t disagree with what you are saying, but teaching a man to fish instead of giving him a fish is not in the Bible.
As a non-Christian, I am often amused at the pot-shots that Christians take at each other. I must, however, agree with Beck on his stand against social and economic justice. I would much rather live free than to be subject to the whims of the political class. Confiscation of private property (i.e. social and economic justice) is evil. All social coercion for achieving parity is evil. Don’t tread on me. Live free or die. Give me liberty or give me death.
TO Julian McGrath I don’t believe Hefner used Christianity for his own benefit and lied doing it, it’s a big difference preaching against God’s word and saying it’s the truth and just living life even an immoral one.
As a mormon, Glenn must not be well versed in his own religion. The mormon church’s whole doctrine rests on the idea of communism. They have an extensive, thriving welfare system. They pay tithes to contribute to this welfare system. The ideal society of the mormon faith is the exact model of wealth redistribution that Beck is claiming to oppose. Their scripture outlines the perfect society as one where all give all they make to the whole and it is redistributed “each according to their need”–almost the exact phrasing of most modern attempts at communism/socialism.
Beck should follow his own advice and leave his own church if he really believes that churches teaching social equality and social justice are evil.
