Rush Limbaugh's brother shares how radio host grew closer to Christ in final year of life

…After studying more, Limbaugh concluded there is "overwhelming evidence in favor of Christianity's truth claims." He came into a full relationship with Christ in his mid-30s.

"People think that Christianity is based on blind faith," David Limbaugh said. "No, no, it's based on evidence. But faith is critical. Without faith, meaning putting your trust in Christ for your personal salvation, you're not going to get there, no matter how much you believe intellectually."

Once he fully accepted Christ, he wondered if his brother was a Christian.

"I mean, he thought he was in my view, and he embraced it intellectually," David Limbaugh said. "But did he think enough about it? And did it really affect his life in the way you would think if you were truly a faithful Christian?"





He started witnessing to his older sibling, even asking him straightforwardly whether he truly believed. Rush Limbaugh answered, "yes." David Limbaugh asked why his brother didn't discuss his faith more. Rush Limbaugh allegedly replied that he didn't talk about it much because he didn't think he knew enough about it. He didn't want to make something he wasn't an expert in the focus of his talk show.

"It makes you wonder why you didn't study it more and all that," David Limbaugh said.

Rosenberg pointed out that it was interesting because Limbaugh was known to be a "student" of everything he was excited about to become an expert in those areas. David Limbaugh agreed.

"Even though he was not being intellectually dishonest about it, he didn't quite yet get it in my view," David Limbaugh said.

At one point, Rush Limbaugh assured his brother that he never had doubts about his faith or Christ, which David Limbaugh found "heartening." But he still wasn't sure whether his older brother accepted Christ.

Limbaugh said the "silver lining" of his brother's cancer diagnosis was "God's grace" because God often allows suffering to enable people to "embrace Him."

"We grow from our suffering, and that is totally biblical throughout. So many things come in God's time," he said.

"With Rush, he was experiencing this hardship, and he was taken down to the lowest point, and he turned," David Limbaugh added. "He had to turn; he had nowhere else to turn. Even if he hadn't had faith in Christ before, he had such sincere, heartfelt faith."

He said his brother began talking to God daily and reading the Bible, even texting his brother for insight on certain passages, something David Limbaugh had never seen him do before.

"It really doesn't matter if Rush embraced Christ 10 years before or one day before he died," he said. "What matters is, and I can say emphatically that he did embrace Him….

Rush was right! This is good news. The Limbaugh brothers are/were great Americans. It’s nice to know that they didn’t let their celebrity and fame, as well as a great political viewpoint take them away from what matters most.

 

The medal of freedom award winning Rush Limbaugh was a great American. He is missed very much.

 

Rush Limbaugh was one of the the most divisive Americans in history.

 

Why? Because he gave conservatives a voice and said things out loud that we’ve always known to be true? Because your side list it’s monopoly on news and accepted opinion?

 

I don't remember him having apologized to the American people.

So, I really doubt this crap about him becoming "closer to Christ".

 

Why is this not in the religion section. Or opinion section. What is the current event?

So if Rush had a full relationship with some supernatural Jesus based on evidence what is the empirical evidence? I keep asking this question in the religion forum. It is of course not answered. Just anecdotes, claims of a personal knowledge, and circular logic, i.e., Jesus is real and a god because his followers compiled book that says so.

Rush was a great political analyst hard wired to not want to die like most of us. But I never heard him talk about empirical evidence for Jesus. Just utter the standard platitudes. Understandable. But sad.

 

Divisive, how?

 

A Christian's faith is between him and God. He doesn't have to prove anything to anyone on Earth.

 

Look. I liked Rush. But he constantly trolled libs. That is great for ratings. In professional wrestling they call it generating heat. But that practice is devisive. Contrast Rush with G Gordan Liddy who was equally conservative but respected other viewpoints as does the man who replaced Rush, Dan Bongino.

 

No, I'm sorry. That title is reserved for Obama and his ilk, and that would include his puppet, Joseph.

 

What's "divisive" mean, in this context?

 

Let's face it. He was NO journalist, nor did he pretend to be. The libs heads exploded when he trolled them.
Pondering ... maybe Trump learned how to own the libs from Rush.

 

Then don't claim someone has evidence for the supernatural on this forum if you can't produce it and expect someone to ask about the evidence. Are we here to discuss what people post?

 

Did this 'relationship with Christ' start before or after his multiple divorces & drug addiction? I could certainly understand if he sought some sort of moral guidance later in life having failed so completely before that, but if the claim is that he was a committed Christian while he was living such an amoral life I call BS.

I don't miss the lying bastard at all.

 

What divisive means in the context of this discussion is pissing people off rather than trying to bring them around to your way of thinking with a well reasoned argument. An example was Rush ridiculing climate change and then talking about having a private jet sent to Japan to pick up Kobe beef for his barbaque party.

Like I said before, generating heat for ratings.

More likely from Vince McMahon.

 

I figure I haven't behaved badly enough in my life to need some desperate, last minute salvation. I would need a second lifetime to cover Limbaugh's amorality.

 

No because he divided people. Supporting your ideology is one thing, denigrating the other side is divisive.

 

Rush built a career on telling his audience how bad for the country democrats were. He spent 10% of his time telling you how good the republicans were, and 90% of his time how bad democrats were.

Rush Limbaugh was the father of divisive political rhetoric. We are so divided in America today because of the way that Rush Limbaugh changed the political debate landscape from "heres why my party is good for america, and what it can do for you", to "The other side is the devil and needs to be eradicated because they are stupid".

 

Seriously, why is everything projection from the right anymore ?

 

I don't think psychological projection means what you think it does.
No where did I project my issues onto you or anyone else.

 

"grew closer to Christ in final year of life"

yeah, some do that, and even if they don't, sometimes their family claims they did

 

exactly, only one that could prove that was Rush, what people say after he died is just hearsay
