ERayR Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I cant remember, but I think he was actually addressing callings he was holding when he was talking about that. He did discuss that we are a lay ministry and we are called to serve in the Church.I understood him to say he was asking for direction for what he considered his life calling.
Matthew J. Tandy Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy and the laying on of hands, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof. Was Bro. Beck ordained to the Melchizedek Priesthood? Does he hold the office of at least Elder? Was it by God and the laying on of hands? Is he not thus, as all priesthood holders, required to speak up in the defense and advocation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Regardless, he was referring to the general concept of calling. That was apparent in the episode, and if you knew the least bit about him outside of your sound bytes, you would know he frequently refers to trying to understand and seek his calling in the sense of God's purpose for him at any given moment. But your desire to bash Bro. Beck by implying he is is in violation of God's directions since he claims a calling he apparently didn't receive in the method you posted shows the depth of your desire to disparage him. You sound exactly like those who will protest Harry Reid because he is a liberal and not liked by conservatives, EVEN when Bro. Reid is set to speak about the gospel, not politics. It never ceases to amaze me how little spiritual credit is given to someone in the spotlight due to their temporal political stance.
