Thank you, thank you for this message. I live in the UK. I go to a baptist church. I couldn't understand why I was so unhappy and struggling. There are no lutheran churches anywhere near us, so we will continue to attend but will boost our knowledge of The true Gospel of Jesus, thru this channel, Pirate Christain Radio and the White Horse Inn talks Thank you again, I can freely breath for the first time.

Wow! Simply wow. I can only wish there would be more speeches or sermons from Rod Rosenbladt. The gospel is not preached any longer today, and to hear it so clearly again is just amazing. No christian will ever tire of hearing a message like this one, he actually needs to hear it every day. The gospel is for christinas not just a the time of conversion but after he has been converted.

My favorite sermon of all time. That's saying a lot. :)

Wow, this is pure Gospel!

This is the best of the best.

YES! YES! YES!

I have listened to this many times. It is very well stated and accurate.

Thank you for posting this. I have a lot of respect for Dr. Rosenbladt, and this lecture has been especially valuable.

My comfort! My understanding! Best explanation of what I went through even as a believer.

Balm for the soul! After years of a 'Do More, Try Harder' faith, and being certain I was getting better, I found instead, I was always taking 2 steps back! Thanks be to God I was found lacking by my Mod/ Ev friends and the congregation at large. (They eat their own, ya know!) Thanks be to God- He brought me out of Mod-Ev and into Confessional Lutheranism!

Amen to those playing at Law-Gospel-Law. That includes Calvinists & Fundamentalists, as well as the Wesleyans.

We miss you Dad Rod!

This is Awesome

Incredible condensation of the truth.

Of course the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all iniquity; there are, as Rosenbladt points out, many whose understanding of this is not congruent with his. But the Bible says "no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost," and there are many such men and women in the groups he calls out. An old pastor I knew said, "My job is to point them to the Fountain and let Jesus take them on from there." This advice was spoken In love and with the greatest respect for the truth and authority of the Bible. I suspect there will be many from the groups attacked in this sermon "jumping into heaven" too. Praise God!

wow hit the nail right on the head...

"What the sad alumni need to hear, perhaps for the first time is that Christian failures are going to walk into heaven, be welcomed into heaven, LEAP INTO HEAVEN LIKE A CALF LEAPING OUT OF IT'S STALL, laughing and laughing as if it’s all too good to be true. It isn’t just that we failures will get in. It’s that we'll probably get in like that." My favorite part of the lecture :-)

BRAVO! Dr. Rosenbladt! BRAVO!!

I don't believe those who feel "broken by the church" necessarily no longer believe. I feel those who feel "broken by the church" still believe, but they no longer feel they can trust organized religion - not the people who are in the body, but church leaders, who will not listen to different interpretations that have been ripped out of context by the church and have a violent reaction to anyone who does present a differing interpretation. I understand the basics that should never be compromised on, but if they are not even open to debate on non-essentials, and "drop the hammer" so to speak, on anyone who dares bring up a different viewpoint, I cannot in good conscience stay. This is about issues in such as a churches that continue to teach (wrongly) one particular interpretation of two passages that essentially repeats the scribes' error of "devouring widows' houses". When you sit listening to someone 3x/wk who cannot speak w/o bringing up tithing and giving in every sermon and every lesson, it is spiritually destructive.

amen

That this only has 26k views is tragic.

Excellent message!

AMAZING!!!!! The truth is So comforting!!! How I needed this!!!!

Thank you for making it clear in understanding

This is still true!

Bless you! Everyone should hear this!

Although I anderstand for his coming from we must remember that many people leave the church simply because they don't want to hear the truth. Many people leave for that reason or because someone let them down as though anyone is perfect.

I love how the man in the photo looks like Paul Washer!

"Du sollst kein falsches Zeugnis von dir geben wider deinem Nächsten."

Excellent thanks for your insight.

When hurt by a church, all you can do is vote with your feet and leave.

But the law is necessary before we can hear the Gospel.

You are missed “Dad Rod”.

I don't believe in the Church (LCMS) I have faith in a merciful God and Christ's saving sacrifice

We don’t get this here at all.

+henrka Not to self promote but I recorded a video of not the greatest quality but it is better than nothing. Dr. Rod Rosenbladt 2013

quote rod rosenbladt: "Our repentance is always imperfect and always half-hearted. . . This is preparation for believing the gospel promise (of forgiveness). . . and we do that half-heartedly, too. But God saves us in Jesus anyway.” Really? Jesus want HOT hearts...see revelation: I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
