Limbaugh encourages gay marriage

No, he's not a Christian. I hate to say this, but I was glad when I found that out because it would be embarrassing if he were. Of course, I do hope he gets saved one day, but hopefully he will be different as a result.

Actually he does claim to be a Christian. He has done so on air.

I have heard him say Christianity would be nothing without the resurrection. I have also heard him apply the bible to back up his beliefs.

That's interesting, because when I researched it a few years ago, he wasn't claiming that as far as I recall.

Well, as a Christian, I'm embarrassed by him.

This is from October, 2008:

I don't know if Rush Limbaugh even says if he is a Christian, he may very well be. I remember specifically listening for this from his radio program and looking for this in his books. What I recall is that he always has said that he believes in God, but it seemed to be in more of a deist sense, where God is out there but he doesn't really have anything to do with our day-to-day lives. You know, the generic God-and-Country kind of stuff.

Why I consider this important is that I know Christians who typically listen to all 3 hours of Rush every day, which is more time than a college student usually listens to his or her college professors. Considering the Biblical imperatives to "to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification." (Romans 14:19) I question if this is right for a Christian to do. I suppose if listening to Rush helped our "conversation be always full of grace" (Colossians 4:6) this would not be such an issue. But what I've witnessed lately has been quite the opposite. It's been us against them, liberal (heathen) against conservative (Christian) and after a while I believe listeners have a tendency to forget there is even such a possibility that someone who is liberal can be a Christian.

A few days ago a prominent woman in my church posted a note on the internet for her friends to see. She stated that her 4 year old son liked to listen to Rush Limbaugh with her, and he had just told her "I hate liberals." This excited her and she boasted of how proud she was of her little 4 year old. Because of her position in my church, it made me wonder if she'd welcome someone who was liberal into our church. I don't consider myself a liberal, but it sure doesn't make me feel welcome to be around her. I have to wonder if there are any ways that she could possibly consider her sentiments Godly.

... there are obvious fruit in Limbaugh's life (he has been married and divorced 3 times, addicted to pain killers, drinks, swears, & smokes cigars (not that there's anything wrong with that). Without judging him, I can easily state that he is not a good example for my kids and I would not want them growing up to emulate his behavior.

When I've listened to him, which I admit has been awhile, he was always angry and sarcastic. This is not an example of being a Christian.

In fact, I've realized one reason I don't like politics is because everyone is so angry all the time - I don't think that is a good state to be in, especially for a Christian. It's also divisive. Not that we should not take stands, but we should not take them with the kind of anger and hatred I see from some Christians. Rush seems to be a catalyst for that.
