Conceived in mother's womb
Last I heard from Glenn's own words is that he believes in the literal
return of Christ to Israel, Israel is a major role in end times, he
believes in salvation by grace, he believes in life beginning at
conception not pre incarnate spirit beings. And he believes in
standing alongside with Israel.
These are a large part of the Mormon vs Orthodox Christian
themes. Glenn has abandoned by his own admition the Mormon
teaching on each of these themes.
When Glenn is traveling about he attends Orthodox Christian Churches
these days from what he shares. His friends around him as of late
are by-in-large Orthodox Christians; John Hagee, James Robinson,
the Graham family and so many more. From what I have read by
other Christians, they have pulled out of context to develop a pretext
which is not a true text and akin to deceit to which they make the
claim about Glenn. Anotherwords, it appears not to be true
critical thinking or reasoning nor going to the source, being Glenn
himself, to confirm their accusations. And that according to the
guidelines of Scripture is clearly out of bounds. We are not to
judge without the real truth of the matter.
I for one do not insist on being God and judging or telling another
what kinds of discussions they are allowed to have or not to have so
long as it isn't using profanity or perverse language. People are
allowed to have beliefs and God is the ONLY JUDGE, not us. To say
that they are not allowed to have a discussion about faith is
censorship and here we do not practice censorship or should practice
censorship. Or to infer that someone is a good candidate for the
Antichrist, come on!!! You are not all-knowing. I think maybe the
problem is here is jealousy and fearmongering and quite honestly sin as
it is gossiping since you haven't had any contact with Glenn himself
and just making accusations.
Try writing to the man first and hearing from him before you make
accusations.
He has responded before on his program. I know as he has done that for
me. I do write directly and have again and know that when Glenn is back
from his tour I will be looking for him to address again these
accusations.
