Glenn Beck: Churches harbor Nazis and Communists
According to his radio show.
Read the Glenn Beck article here.
Christian Socialism has deep roots in this country.
Glenn Beck puts himself in trouble when he says “any church” that says they teach “social justice” is using code words for Nazism or communism. It depends on the definition. Though if he ascribes it to a Jesuit’s intent then I would agree with him. Yet, I don’t believe that all churches teach it with the historic understanding (personal interposition on behalf of the oppress, not governmental mandated handouts).
I agree with Beck that many churches are teaching socialism through Liberation Theology and the cloak of “social justice”. Wright’s church is an extreme example of this kind of teaching and the Catholic Church the latter. If you read what Beck was saying the day before, I believe Beck was referring to what I’ve heard called Christian socialism. Later, Beck also clarified his statements.
I would like to continue flushing out the church’s role in all this. I would hate to think that the following quote by Schlesinger is true, however, I’ve listened to quite a few sermons and many have strayed from the biblical truth or teach such simple and useless stories that the congregations remain feeding on milk. Heb 5:12, 1 Cor 3:2,3.
“Among all the trades, occupations, and professions in the country, few can produce as high a percentage of Socialists as can the ministry.” – From Arthur Schlesinger in his book”The Politics of Upheaval”.
Freedoms are lost because of many extreme worldviews– atheism, Judaism, Islam, etc. as well as misuse of Christianity. We seek to remedy the freedoms threatened and lost by rooting these freedoms back to where they belong-in the Constitution and the principles that founded it.
View the following locations and see why many clergy are socialists. Yes, they are and the WCC is not sinless in its involvement of promoting socialism. Notice now how many of the churches are voicing their opposition to Beck and that’s because Beck’s hitting close to the truth in their worldviews and agendas.

I know Glenn Beck does not have all of the correct answers. He frustrates me as he does many of us. Yet, I like it when Beck stirs the pot and in this case I think its being stirred in the right direction.
We have differing opinions which I’ve read and can’t agree with, but we may be able to agree with the principles of freedom. Beck is pointing to the churches but I say its also the seminaries which have been infiltrated with the teaching of false doctrines to present/future pastors their theology and many of the socialistic untruths.
We read in the article what Beck thought were differences of social justice…..”Like most Americans, Glenn strongly supports and believes in ‘social justice’ when it is defined as ‘good Christian charity,’” he said. “Glenn strongly opposes when Rev. Wright and other leaders use ‘social justice’ as a euphemism for their real intention — redistribution of wealth.”
Common ground against those who hate freedom can be had and we should avoid missing opportunities to flush a socialist structure, i.e. Jesuits into the open. (Yes, I’m a protestant) Call out the liberal protestant churches also, including their seminaries. I encourage members discern what is wrong and act accordingly by vacating those churches and their teachings. Nice sounding terms such as “social justice” may have well meaning intent but should be more scrutinized and weighed when heard.
As the hearts of the people go, so goes the churches. As the heart of the churches goes, so goes this country.
