(6,907 posts)Do Mormon's do the end times rapture stuff? I ask because none of my lbs friends have ever seemed apocalyptic like that. Is Beck in an off shoot or is it more common than I've noticed?

(581 posts)years. They are post-trib rather than pre-trib, and they never use the term "rapture." Beck converted to Mormonism later in life and retains a lot of extra-Mormon beliefs.

(6,238 posts)There isn't a ton of room for personal deviation on major issues. They believe in living prophets so their belies are usually fairly unified. I'm slightly surprised Beck hasn't been called before his Bishop or one of the higher ups about his non-orthodox beliefs. Then again, he probably tithes regularly..

(14,912 posts)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satan (Scroll down to "Satan in Christianity" In the Christian understanding of the holy Hebrew scriptures, the one named Satan (also the Devil) is shown to be an Angel who rebelled against God, the one who spoke through the serpent and seduced Eve into disobeying God's command. Before his opposition against God, Satan was the "HIGHEST OF ALL ANGELS = ARCHANGEL, which is a superior or higher ranking Angel." Also known as The "BRIGHTEST IN THE SKY" = MORNING STAR", and "LUCIFER is a name for the MORNING STAR". The best-known "FALLEN ANGEL is SATAN." His pride is considered a reason why he would not bow to God as all other angels did, but sought to rule heaven himself. In Christianity he is called "THE RULER OF THE DEMONS" (Matt. 12:24).
Peace,
Ghost
