Shows From The Past Week
Brannon Howse: September 2, 2010 from September 02, 2010
Topic One: "Mormonism, America's Islam" is a book written in 1912. What do Mormons and Muslims have in common? Similarities of Muhammad and Joseph Smith:
- Visited by an angel.
- Given visions.
- Told that no true religion existed on the earth.
- Was sent to restore the long lost faith as the one true religion.
- A book produced from their teachings claimed to be “inspired by God.”
- Each claimed to be illiterate or uneducated and used this as proof the book was inspired.
- Each claimed the Bible was lost, altered, corrupted and unreliable.
- Each claimed his new holy book was the most correct and perfect book on earth.
- Each claimed to be a final prophet of God.
- Each claimed he was persecuted because of his pure faith.
- Was a polygamist who had many wives.
- Immediately after his death a fight broke out from among the “faithful converts” as to who would succeed him.
- Both religions have those who follow the “original doctrine” of the founding leaders and like these founding leaders, have been violent, polygamists, and have revelations justifying their evil actions.
- Each has progressive revelation. (“New” revelation always replaces older revelation that became inconvenient to the prophet.)This list was compiled by Erick Barger. Here is the list compiled Ed Decker after his study of the two religions:
Both belief systems teach that they have the only true and complete religion on face of the earth.
Both reject Christianity as corrupted.
Both taught the plurality of wives, both on earth and in here-after.
Both teach that the Bible is corrupt and mistranslated.
Both revealed God’s true scripture.
Both reject original sin and the doctrine of the trinity.
Both teach a salvation by good works.
Both use a lay clergy.
Both founded by a holy uneducated prophet.
Both founding prophets had angelic visitations that they were to restore Adamic religion.
Both prophets' words were above scripture or earlier prophets.
Both teach a theocratic form of government.
Both teach a here-after with graded rewards for works.
Both claim to be the world’s fastest growing religion.
Glenn Beck, a Mormon was able to get Christians to lock arms with Muslims in a spiritual endeavor that was looking to "one god". Topic Two: September 11, 1857, Mormons slaughter 120 men, women and children in the name of God and then years later the Mormons worked to build a Mormon memorial on the ground of the Mountain Meadow Massacre against the wishes of family members of the slain. On September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorists murdered American citizens in the name of God and now seek to build a memorial to their religion in the form of a Mosque only a stone throw from where the Twin Towers once stood. Topic Three: Hear the real story behind the Mormon War in Missouri in 1883. Topic Four: Biblically committed Christians must understand the spiritual deception of these last days and how Satan will move among false religions and cults to deceive Christians as well as non-Christians as he seeks to build his one-world religion. Satan is seeking to destroy Biblical Christianity for a humanistic Christianity. Satan wants to embarrass and compromise Christian pastors and leaders. Satan is seeking to infiltrate Bible based churches with false teaching and turn them toward his goal of pluralism in the name of tolerance and a social gospel. Satan will use that which has a form of godliness but denies the God of the Bible. Do not be shocked when most "Christians" do not see this and ridicule you. Topic Five: Southern Baptist leader Richard Land calls Mormonism the Fourth Abrahamic religion. Hey Richard, Mormonism does not believe in one god but millions of gods making them a polytheistic religion. The other three religions are monotheistic; meaning they only believe in one god. So how does that make Mormonism a fourth Abrahamic religion? Someone needs to send Land back to religion 101. But want do you really expect from a guy that sits on the Council for Foreign Relations, is pushing for Amnesty, sat on a commission to dialogue and build bridges to radical Muslims and the list could go on and on but we will stop here.
Brannon Howse: September 1, 2010 from September 01, 2010
Topic One: A Mormon writer for the LDS Examiner declares a 200 year victory because Glenn Beck has succeeded in getting evangelical pastors to declare that Mormons are Christians. Is this not what we warned these pastors about? Did we not tell them this would happen? Topic Two: On his radio program on Monday Glenn Beck said, "As a member of a faith that is the only faith in American history to have an actual governmental document calling for the extermination of people based on religion; we are the only people in the history of America that has a government document from the 1800s where… that made it ok to kill a Mormon because they were Mormon; period. You've never, you've, you don't hear Mormons crying about that; but we understand; we've seen it before." Is this true? On October 27, 1838, the Governor Lillburn W. Boggs of Missouri issued an executive order that in part stated, "I have received…information of the most appalling character, which entirely changes the face of things, and places the Mormons in the attitude of an open and avowed defiance of the laws, and of having made war upon the people of this State." Now this changes this does it not? So it was not "because they were Mormon; period" but because some Mormons in Missouri were in "avowed defiance of the laws" and had "made war upon the people of this State." Is this not the second time in two weeks that Beck has not told his radio or TV audience the full story about an issue important to Mormons? He did not reveal the Mormon relevance behind the Bat Creek Stone and he did not tell his audience that some experts considered it a fraud. Is it not also true that he did not tell his audience the complete story behind the 1838 incident in Missouri? Glenn tells us to "question boldly". Perhaps more people should start to question Glenn's real goals and agenda with the growing talk of his Mormonism. Topic Three: Brannon reads excerpts from the 1912 book entitled, "Mormonism, the Islam of America." Here is just one example of the chilling information Brannon reads from this book by Bruce Kinney. Kinney documents this quote by Mormon leader Brigham Young, "I have many a time in this stand, dared the world to produce as mean devils as we can. We can beat them at anything. We have the greatest and smoothies liars in the world, the cunningest and most adroit thieves, and any other shade of character that you can mention. We can pick our elders in Israel right here who can beat the world at gambling; who can handle the cards; can cut and shuffle them with the smartest rogue on God's footstool…We can beat the world at any game. We can beat them because we have men here that live in the light of the Lord; that have the holy priesthood and hold the keys of the kingdom of God. (News, VI, 91). Commenting on this quote Kinney writes, "It is to be doubted if any more blasphemous statement can be found in the English language than the reasons why Mormons "can beat the world."

Brannon Howse: August 31, 2010 from August 31, 2010
Brannon Howse welcomes guest Todd Friel of wretchedradio.com to discuss what took place at Glenn Becks 8-27 and 8-28 rallies. We play lots of sound bites of Glenn Beck in his own words. Topic One: Beck starts rally with Mormon theology that Native Americans are God's chosen people. Topic Two: Beck used the phrase "higher self" three times in the interview with Chris Wallace. No one talks that way unless they know exactly what they are saying. What was Beck talking about and how does it connect with his statement last week when he said "I Am That I Am is the most powerful phrase in any language as it is the name of god, never use it in vain; use it to create who you want to be. I am blank." Topic Three: Beck tells Chris Wallace that he is a Mormon and describes the Mormon theology of salvation. Topic Four: Dr. Erwin Lutzer predicted, at our Branson 2010 Worldview Weekend, that the conservative media would turn on Biblical Christians that stand for Biblical truth. That turning began with Glenn Beck himself last Friday when he used the term religious bigots when talking about a CNN article that quoted Brannon Howse and another Christian writer on why they could not spiritually unite with Glenn Beck. That turning continued today with a conservative talk show host that is a frequent face on Fox News Channel who reportedly railed on evangelicals for not uniting with Beck. We play the clip of Dr. Erwin Lutzer and his warning from last April as he explains how this turning on Bible obedient Christians will resemble what happen in another country and at another time. Watch it to greatly increase. Topic Five: Beck has set the stage for "conservatives" to accept a one-world religion and numerous leaders of the religious right pulled the ropes that raised the curtain on this ecumenical stage. Glenn Beck has accomplished what Oprah Winfrey or Shirley McClain could not. I believe that Beck used his conservative veneer and doublespeak to co-opt leaders of the religious right. Beck and these evangelical leaders have sent the message that it is acceptable for millions of "Christians" to embrace humanistic spirituality and paganism for the purpose of social activism and social change. (original air date August 30, 2010 at 1pm CT.)
Brannon Howse: August 30 (original air date 8-27) from August 30, 2010
Topic One: Kirk Cameron, the actor and Christian, is Brannon's guest today to explain from a Biblical position why he could not attend "Glenn Beck's Divine Destiny" event on 8-27, after being invited. Topic Two: On his radio program today Glenn referenced a CNN article that also ran today in which CNN took a portion of Brannon's article from our website in which Brannon, explained from the Scriptures, why we can unit with Mr. Beck on non-spiritual issues but we Biblically cannot unite with him on his self-described spiritual event. On today's radio program Glenn said "looking to one God is the theme" of the 8/28 event. Glenn referred to the CNN article and said "so now the religious bigotry is there too". Since Howse is quoted in the article explaining why we cannot unite with Mr. Beck spiritually, we assume he means Brannon when he says "religious bigotry." Why are we not being religious bigots but Biblical Bereans. Topic Three: Would one of Beck's goals be to convince the American people that Mormonism and Christianity are one in the same; after all as Beck said "looking to one God is the theme" of the 8/28 event. Topic Four: Mr. Beck said on his radio program on August 27, 2010 that "the spirit is going to teach tomorrow, and you are going to feel things you have never felt before; 8-28." Should we ask what spirit since Glenn is a self-confessed Mormon as recently as on his TV program at 4:38 pm CT on Friday, August 27th. It clearly will not be the Holy Spirit of the Bible because God's Spirit cannot teach that which is unbiblical such as "looking to one God." Topic Five: We take your calls. A pastor calls in to ask if Glenn Beck may be setting up his fellow Mormon Mitt Romney for another run for the White House by trying to convince the American people that Mormons are the same as Christians. The pastor is asked what he thinks and he said he believes it is part of the overall agenda.
Brannon Howse: August 27, 2010 from August 27, 2010
Original air date: August 26, 2010 at 1pm CT. Can We Better Understand Glenn Beck's Divine Destiny By Understanding What the Mormon Church Says About The Constitution, America, and the Last Days? Brannon's guest on his radio program today was Ed Decker, a former Mormon for twenty years before becoming Christian. On today's program Brannon plays sound bites of a speech given by Mormon President Ezra Taft Benson entitled "Our Divine Constitution" and Ed responds. Glenn Beck said on his TV program on August 26, 2010, that the event on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday August 28th, 2010, will not be a political event. A few days before this Glenn said the event will not be a Christian event but a God event. What God are we talking about? Is Glenn acknowledging that it is indeed all about a spiritual agenda that has been well laid out by leading Mormon leaders including the now deceased President of the Mormon Church, Ezra Taft Benson? Glenn said that the money for this event was raised months ago. Did the Mormon Church assist in covering the costs for this event and if so for what purpose? Here are the sound bites we played on the radio program today from the speech given by Ezra Taft Benson. Ezra Taft Benson: I reverence the Constitution of the United States as a sacred document. To me its words are akin to the revelations of God, for God has placed His stamp of approval upon it. Brannon Howse: This is out right heresy! We are told in Deuteronomy 4:2 not to "add to the word which I commanded you, nor take from it." Saying the Constitution is "akin to the revelation of God" is adding to the Bible and is for sure lowering the supremacy of the Word of God and thus heresy. If the Constitution is akin to the Word of God, why has it been changed so many times? Ezra Taft Benson: I have faith that the Constitution will be saved as prophesied by Joseph Smith….It will be saved by enlightened members of this Church—among others—men and women who understand and abide the principles of the Constitution.
Brannon Howse: It is the Mormon Church and "enlightened" Mormons that will save America? If America is to be saved it will not be by the false gospel and false Jesus of the Mormons following the principles of the Constitution that they have elevated to being equal to the Word of God. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says that "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." Part of the wickedness America needs to turn from is following the Jesus of the cults or the Jesus of Oprah's pagan spirituality. The very thing the Mormons are doing, and many Christian Americans are following, will actually not reclaim America but bring God's judgment.
Ezra Taft Benson: Have we read The Federalist papers? Are we reading the Constitution and pondering it? Are we aware of its principles? Are we abiding by these principles and teaching them to others? Could we defend the Constitution? Can we recognize when a law is constitutionally unsound? Do we know what the prophets have said about the Constitution and the threats to it? Brannon Howse: I am all for returning to the original intent of America's Founding Fathers but the cross is higher than the flag and the Word of God is above the Constitution. If we really want to defend a Constitutional Republic we must get back to the Word of God; not the Mormon Bible and Mormon teachings on end-times beliefs. How many Christians know the Mormons want to build God's kingdom on earth and build the New Jerusalem in Independence, Missouri? Ezra Taft Benson: We are fast approaching that moment prophesied by Joseph Smith when he said: “Even this nation will be on the very verge of crumbling to pieces and tumbling to the ground, and when the Constitution is upon the brink of ruin, this people will be the staff upon which the nation shall lean, and they shall bear the Constitution away from the very verge of destruction” (19 July 1840, as recorded by Martha Jane Knowlton Coray; ms. in Church Historian’s Office, Salt Lake City). Brannon Howse: The Mormon Church, in recent years, has found itself in another public relations problem so Ed Decker says they have backed away from this belief. However, all Mormons know of this prophecy by Joseph Smith and believe the Mormon Church and its "enlightened members of this Church" will restore America's honor. Sound familiar? Is this the goal of Glenn Beck's restoring America's Honor rally? Is Glenn Beck committed to this Mormon movement that will restore America and usher in the "Kingdom of God" on earth? What does Glenn Beck mean by God? Does Glenn reject the Mormon god that was a man of flesh and bone that evolved to be the God of this universe by living a good Mormon life? Does Glenn believe he can become a god with many goddess wives and populate his own planet? Does Glenn believe that Jesus is the brother of Satan that was voted by a council to come to earth? Glenn has said that 80% of his life revolves around the Mormon Temple. Glenn owes it to all of us that have watched him to answer these questions particularly since Glenn has challenged the president to be clear about his religious beliefs. Ezra Taft Benson: Only in this foreordained land, under its God-inspired Constitution and the resulting environment of freedom, was it possible to have established the restored church. It is our responsibility to see that this freedom is perpetuated so that the Church may more easily flourish in the future. The Lord said, “Therefore, I, the Lord, justify you, and your brethren of my church, in befriending that law which is the constitutional law of the land” (D&C 98:6). Brannon's Howse: So in the end, the big push for returning to the founding principles is for the goal of the flourishing of the Mormon Church? How many people are aware of this ultimate goal? How many Americans want to live in a Mormon theocracy? Before you react and by their claim that they are not for a theocracy you had better read the "Law of Consecration" that Mormons swear to in the LDS temple ritual. Among other things, the officiator requests that swear to "consecrate yourselves, your time, talents, and everything with which the Lord has blessed you, or with which he may bless you , to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for the building up of the Kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment of Zion."
Ezra Taft Benson: Our Father in Heaven planned the coming forth of the Founding Fathers and their form of government as the necessary great prologue leading to the restoration of the gospel. Recall what our Savior Jesus Christ said nearly two thousand years ago when He visited this promised land: “For it is wisdom in the Father that they should be established in this land, and be set up as a free people by the power of the Father, that these things might come forth” (3 Ne. 21:4). America, the land of liberty, was to be the Lord’s latter-day base of operations for His restored church.
Brannon Howse: So the god of the Mormons, who was once a man of flesh and bone, planned America so the gospel of the Mormon Church could be restored? When did Jesus visit the promise land, which they call America? You will only find that in the Mormon Bible. Notice Taft is quoting from the Mormon Bible where they say that Jesus declared that America would become the "Lord's latter-day base of operations for His restored church." If Glenn Beck's event on 8/27 and 8/28 are not political events but spiritual events don't you think people should be aware of both the spiritual and political agenda of the Mormon Church that Glenn has said 80% of his life revolves around? If Glenn said come to these two events to learn more about the Constitution of the United States which is equal to the inspired Word of God; how many Christians would still attend? Sadly, I believe most American Christians have little Biblical discernment and thus even if Glenn publically equated the Constitution as "akin to the revelations of God…" as did Ezra Taft Benson they would still be at his beckon call because they are so hungry for a conservative leader and so eager to reclaim the founder's original intent. I believe many self-professing Christians will betray God's ordained Word which will surely guarantee that we do not reclaim America but that our destiny will be divine judgment.
