This MP3 of the recording of Dr. Rosenbladt's presentation is tailor-made for all those folks who are "mad" at and "sad"
about Christianity BECAUSE they have been "baited and switched" by the church.
If the Ten Commandments were not impossible enough, the
preaching of Christian behavior, of Christian ethics, of Christian
living, can drive a Christian into despairing unbelief. Not happy
unbelief. Tragic, despairing, sad unbelief. (It is not unlike the
[unhappy] Christian equivalent of "Jack Mormons" - those who finally
admit to themselves and others that they can't live up to the demands
of this non-Christian cult's laws, and excuse themselves from the whole
sheebang.) A diet of this stuff from pulpit, from curriculum, from a
Christian reading list, can do a work on a Christian that is (at least
over the long haul) "faith destroying."
In this staggeringly potent presentation, Dr. Rosenbladt tackles what plagues
many 'recovering Christians'. Sticking to his unchanging theme of
200-proof Gospel, using his own history as an agnostic "outsider" to
Christianity, Dr. Rosenbladt delivers the grace of the cross with all
its potency, undiluted.
If you've struggled with your faith in your church because of what
you're seeing and hearing (and maybe don't even go to church anymore),
you don't want to miss
this powerful address - an unabashed analysis of the church today and
what it is doing to many believers - from one who has experienced it
himself.
Are we Christians saved the same way we were when we were
baptized into Christ, or when we came to acknowledge Christ's shed
blood and His righteousness as all we had in the face of God's holy
law? That all of our supposed "virtue" - Christian or pagan - is just
like so many old menstrual garments (to use the Bible phrase)? But that
God imputes to those who trust Christ's cross the true righteousness of
Christ Himself? We are pretty sure that unbelievers who come to believe
this are instantly justified in God's sight, declared as if innocent,
adopted as sons or daughters, forgiven of all sin, given eternal life,
etc. But are Christians still saved that freely? Or are we not? We are
pretty clear that imputed righteousness saves sinners. But can the
imputed righteousness of Christ save a Christian? And can it save him
or her all by itself? Or no?
For all of you who have been given morality lessons instead of the
Gospel, hear how Dr. Rod Rosenbladt succinctly presents Christianity as
first and foremost a genuine truth claim about Christ as our righteous
substitute, instead of a never ending list of popular religious recipes
for personal success.
