Beck has not been forthright about where he got the name "Divine Destiny." When he uses this term, he is not talking about heaven or God's blessings upon our nation. Scott Bradley, Mormon historian, describes the meaning of this phrase in his article
Glenn Beck Takes Another Bite Out of the Apple: The Meaning of Divine Destiny
Perhaps 300,000 people will make the trek to Washington D.C. this week for talker Glenn Beck's 8/28 Restoring Honor rally at the Lincoln Memorial, and many professing Christian ministers will attend his Divine Destiny prayer meeting at the Kennedy Center on August 27th. I fear most of these patriotic folks don't know the difference between the free gospel of grace in Jesus Christ and the Mormonism Glenn Beck preaches. I will beat around the bush no longer.
It is really quite simple. Glenn Beck believes the original false gospel Satan put forth in the Garden of Eden when he tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit:
Genesis 3:4, 5: And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
But God had earlier given them warning:
Genesis 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
All Christians recognize the primary consequence of the garden sin: death. Beck, on the other hand, sees the poisonous meal as a good thing. Recently, he said Adam and Eve "came down" and "had to eat the apple" because "they had to have a knowledge of good and evil" because "freedom to choose is essential". Here is an exchange he had back in 2008 with one caller, who actually had the right idea about sin in the garden:
GLENN: Ask your professor why Adam and Eve came down. Why, what was the whole thing about with the snake and the apple? What was that all about?CALLER: Because they disobeyed God.GLENN: Yeah, but what did that do? If Adam and Eve could if Adam and Eve didn't have the apple, they wouldn't have been fruitful and multiplied. Man would not be if it wasn't for that, okay? So what did they do? They ate the apple. Their eyes were opened. They saw the difference between good and evil.
