Fox News new host

[JerryNumbers]

Fox News has a new host druing their 5:00 PM program, Glen Beck. I knew nothing of him so I looked him up on the net and read a couple of articels on him, them checked out Wikipedia to see what it had to say and I came across this, which might be good in one respect for it seems he was raised Roman Catholic.


<<"Glenn Beck considers himself a "self-educated" man. He claims that he "spent more time in the parking lot than in class." As he began to recover from alcoholism, he decided he would throw everything he knew out (God, accumulated knowledge, etc.) and start from scratch. He began reading by having a book in every room. He read things that would contradict each other (ex. Nostradamus vs. Pope John Paul).">>

For those who want to get ahead in this world, so to speak, seems their 1st thing is to throw out God

[1John2:15-17]

I used to watch him (for his conservative slant on things) on occasion when he was on CNN. In one of his books I browsed he said he was a professing Mormon.

I don't know much about him but what little I heard him say one time he sounded more like a neo-con and not actually a conservative.

Well, I would agree with the idea of reading and researching things out for oneself. If he had said he decided to toss out what the RCC teaches and read and study the Bible himself to learn the truth then I would say "great", but to say you are going to "throw out God" No, not the right perspective at all.

I caught just a few minutes of his show yesterday, I had heard the name, but knew nothing about him.

The thing is all of these conservatives on Fox, they are not conservative Christian, just conservative worldly.

He is a mormon, but it sounds like that Wiki is purely an opinion right now.. But he is very popular with alot of christians

[John81]

Sadly, most professing Christians today, even those who call themselves conservative, are not true traditional conservatives. Their idea of conservative comes from the modern wordly perspecitve which has mixed a great deal of liberalism into the mix. As with leaven, so with liberalism; a little permeates the whole.

Consider how many professing Christians will support a politician who is a "fiscal conservative" but a "moderate" (liberal) on other issues. Such candidates are touted as conservative when they are not.

I don't know, I consider myself a very hardcore conservative (at least that's what I'm labeled after I take those "liberal or conservative" tests) and I enjoy listening to him. Rush isn't a follower of Christ but alot of Christians listen to him. In fact I like Glen better than Rush. I don't worship Glen or hang on every word but he makes alot of good points. I think he's one of the better conservative talk show hosts out there.

I'm glad there is a Fox New that takes up the conservative issues. Seems everything on TV is liberal, very liberal except for them.
