THE FUCK! I'm left kinda speechless! We need more pastors like this! This makes me feel so much more okay, and like I'm not the only one with this kind of faith and struggling intertwined with each other. Fuck! I feel so much more loved from what she had to say, than from any other standard mainstream pastor I've heard in my life! This was SO MUCH MORE REAL AND HONEST!! Omg it was so.... Good!!
Says a bunch of completely reasonable, compassionate, and theologically true statements about forgiveness. Trolls focus on the thirty seconds she mentions she doesn't believe hell is 100% real. Cool cool cool. Our world is broken and people suck. cool.
If Nadia had been around when I was growing up in the church that later ex-communicated me (Missouri Synod Lutheran), I might never have left the church. What a gift she is!
Two more young Black men were murdered by white law enforcement and fear. Videos of their final moments are online. Their families and loved ones are mourning, Black folks all over are terrorized and traumatized all over again. Rage and heartbreak and soul tired numbness weighs me down. But the idea of leaning into and utilizing Grace to cut ties with the evil resonates with me. If that what forgiveness is, I may be able to want to pray for it. Thanks for posting this sermon. I’ll meditate on it.
I live in Christchurch, New Zealand, where a little over four days ago at least 50 people were killed in an act of hate. I was angry, with him, I wanted to see the worst possible outcome for him, but I have begun to understand how a survivor who lost his wife and children can forgive this man. Nadia, you explain it so well. I left religion a long time ago, you may have won me back.
Looking at the story that reminds me that I end up harming the people that love me instead of those that I resent... I want to follow the Twelve Steps and your suggestions. Celebrating 26 years this Spring, Messy, and Dirty, and Holy. Thank you for being there on Easter Sunday when I heard your sermon and it was my sobriety anniversary, and I could forgive myself for my shortcomings and move forward to be of service! You rock.
The message that she is preaching here is actually pretty consistent with the radical grace message of Martin Luther 500 years ago. One difference is that Luther actually did believe that there was a hell awaiting those who rejected the offer of forgiveness and reconciliation accomplished by the saving work of Christ on our behalf. Also, I think that instead of "God loves you just the way you are," Luther would have said "God loves you in spite of the way you are. He loves you too much to leave you where you are, and that is why he wants you to grow in righteousness by increasing your love of Him and your neighbor, not that you will achieve the goal in this lifetime, but it is a goal toward which you should nevertheless strive." As a Lutheran myself, I think that I am a bit too traditional in my understanding of Lutheran theology to give her my total support.
Sarco, I like your retelling of Luther's position but Nadia would likely be burned at the stake by Martin. Glad we don't do that any more but if there is no Judgement and accountability, then from what are we saved ???
@Bill Asbury, I am pretty sure that is the point sarco64 was making (of which I agree with) that they disagree with Nadia when she says hell is imaginary. @Heidi K, I know you're probably a worthless internet troll who just needs to make comments like that to feel better about yourself but really...I can't believe you are so quick to judge Pastor Nadia because of her heresy, when you also praise tele-evangelists like Dr. John Ankerberg who only preach the suffering of the law and the prosperity gospel in order to further their worldly success and financial gain. Also, how dare you say her parishioners are "not saved"...who made you the judge of who goes to heaven and hell? You are as filthy and sinful and she is, because we all are.
Having read Luther, and about him (taken classes as well) comparing the two is almost inconceivable. Luther based his theology off of a rigorous biblical hermeneutic. He said his mind d could be changed only by showing in the scriptures how he is wrong. This woman, bless her, is going entirely by a theology of experience with absolutely no discernible understanding of the Bible. It's sad
Although traditional readings of hell in the Bible remain the worldwide Church's majority position, there is a growing minority who reject the existence of an eternal hell (although they affirm that hell still exists, albeit as a temporary measure -- see The Evangelical Universalist: The Biblical Hope that God's Love Will Save Us All). And I agree with your second point. God loves us because He is love itself (1 John 4). But I also wonder whether God loves us because we represent a part of His nature, having been made in His Image, which would make Nadia's point true also. I don't know about this, but it's a thought.
@classyt20f7 I do believe in hell 100%. I don't think this is eternal however, which is a view I got from the original texts and passages in the Bible which point to the Lord not casting anyone off forever (Lamentations 3:31) and all being made alive in Christ (Ephesians 3). Plus I really do not endorse the KJV. It has quite a few errors.
"For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. 'Having a form of godliness', but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
"Gospel is Garbage" At last!!! An unbeliever who is honest!!! Refreshing!! I am a little tired of the liberal word salad these phony ministers use to cloak themselves to gain access and then lie to the sheep.
I loved this. first, real sincere delivery I have heard in a long time. No of this fake bull shit you hear from other organized Churchs and their feckless speeches
oh my how wonderful to hear someone who speaks my language. I've not been able to find a church because everyone is always so ... I guess the word is ... Pious ... hey I wear jeans and t-shirts and love my tattoos and I can see 'the look' when I wear shorts ... It'd be great to be in a church like Nadia's where there is no judgment.
Why do fundamentalists sound almost gleeful when they tell someone that they're going to wind up in hell? Be happy in your beliefs, but don't try to tell them what God thinks; you don't know. If you want to get apoplectic, watch some of Bishop John Shelby Spongs lectures or read his books. He is a Bible scholar not only of the New Testament, but has worked for several decades with Jewish scholars of the Torah (our Old Testament).
Wow. So many led astray. Just have some basic New Testament knowledge to see the Errors. Her words are mixed with Truth and Error. Do you not alter the words of Christ.
@Heidi K. The scriptures warn against name-calling and judgement of others. If you have an issue with a pastor the Bible directs you to contact the person directly, not publicly speak against them.
Nadia Bolz-Weber. Thank you for saving my life, giving me hope and speaking truth. Almighty God is indeed merciful and gracious, abounding in steadfast love for everyone no matter what. God bless you Nadia.
yvonne taylor - this is what Jesus taught: Jhn 8:11 ...Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee (GRACE): go, and sin (break Gods law) no more (STOP IT). grace is not a license to keep on sinning as this fake 'pastor' teaches.
I am a lifer Lutheran..read the bible as an adolescent, understood it and confirmed by the church. As a mother of three ranging in age of 22 to 6 years old, a stage 4 breast cancer survivor, and having read the bible cover to cover over and over again...I have a absolute love for Nadia. Everyone will take from the bible what they personally need. Jesus wanted us to be like him, an he would NEVER judge anyone...only love them and hold them up. For anyone to have to walk through the short life we are blessed with.. holding despair, guilt and pain, because their neighbor, who is supposed to be loving them, is judging them with condemnation. God does not make mistakes... especially in creation of each of us...and he does not take back his promises....he will love us and forgive us unconditionally. Your relationship with God is yours...not someone elses. Ofcourse this is the opinion from a women who runs from people who have FEAR GOD bumper stickers.
All that is fine, except we need to remember that new creatures in Christ have a new Master. He is Lord and Savior by grace. Grace that cannot change your life cannot save your soul. Jesus said to the adulterous woman...."Go and sin no more." Romans 5:21 says: Grace reigns in righteousness...sin reigns in death. You cannot serve God and mammon. Paul said to stop sinning. Jesus said, My sheep hear my voice and they follow me. Who are you following? There is no excuse for sin. If you are living in sin do not call yourself a christian for God's foundation is sure sealed with this inscription: The Lord knows those who are His and let everyone who confesses the Name of the Lord turn away from wickedness, for on that day many will call him Lord Lord, but He will say, "I don't know you depart from me you who work iniquity." He cannot be savior of your life unless He is Lord of your life. Read that in Romans 10:9 and 10. So don't be misled by sweet preaching. God is a God of wrath too. It's in the bible.
Brilliant , that touched my soul, I loved the references to the twelves steps as well, I just completed a set . Resentments hurt in so many ways , thank you.
This is just why the CHURCH at the time wanted to arrest Martin Luther, take him to Rome, brand him as a heretic and burn him at the stake. Grace, fully understood, is not some easy, cheap forgiveness exercise, it is an invitation for me to let go of the personal edifice of "righteousness" my ego has created, and to get real about my many flaws, then to receive the grace of a God who has personally, on the cross, experienced all of the pain and anguish I am trying to hide from, and who then says to me, "You are flawed and broken AND I accept you and love you just the way you are", "now go out into the world and try to treat others with the understanding and love with which I have treated you". That is not heresy, that is truth, stripped of religious pretence, and it is revolutionary.
Only Jesus could go without sinning. No one can go and "sin no more". That notion belongs in the same category as thinking repenting means you never sin the same way again. We cannot stop sinning. But we can be repeatedly forgiven.
I love you and understand that you were in chains of sin, Jesus can break the chains, accept him as your Lord and become a child of God, repent from your sins , he loves you, fear the Lord and know his commands and keep them and come back to God so he may heal you and forgive your sin
It took exactly this type of speech..from exactly this kind of person, to help turn my little bunghole of a heart...towards God. Im one of those people she is speaking of! I grew up (in the Catholic Church) Went to Catholic school... All the while, secretly thinking of the church as some egotistical puritanical, hypocritical system of punishment and reward. A "Meritocracy " created by a bunch of stuffy dingbats, used to control the mindless masses. Her words, and this speech- may not work for some ( that's ok! ) but it has helped me... immeasurably! Im back in baby's arms so to speak and I return to this video often. It still has the power to bring me to tears.. I had it SO wrong, for so long... and its people like Nadia , (and Richard Rohr!) that have helped 'save' what some (Jerks! ) called The 'unsavable' ... (Myself included) It takes all kinds to make a world.. and took just this kind of speech to help some of us find our way "home". Saint Francis said .. " Preach the Gospel always, and if necessary, use words…” I didnt need someone spouting scripture (that they didn't seem to even embody) from some ' ivory tower' of self righteousness. What I needed was a 'translator' that I could relate to.. and thank you Nadia, for being that person.
Joseph Vincent She rejects the existence of Hell, she can simply be dismissed as a manifest heretic. it goes against all Apostolic teaching, Jesus spoke explicitly about its existence. I’ve also had a very frightening supernatural experience so I have no doubt, I used to be an atheist. She is wrong Hell is real and so are demons it’s why you see so much evil manifest in the world, the Bible is clear Satan is the prince of this world.
Friday, August 23, 2018/ This is what I have been telling people all this time. Forgiveness is what frees us. I forgive others because I know who I am. I know my heart and I know I appreciate forgiveness, whether it be from God, you or to myself. It's not up to me to look at other's issues and judge them. "Love others as I have loved you", that's what I am supposed to do, nothing more, nothing less. This was the first video I have seen by Nadia, God blessed me today with this word.
Real talk! "Bolz-cutters"! To some who may not get what this pastor says about God's Grace: Jesus said to His hearers, "Ye ARE the light of the world." Not, "if you follow the Four Spiritual Laws" or "if you pray the Sinner's Prayer": no. We ARE the light of the world, right here, right now. How do we shine?
the concept is to love God above all others, things, possessions, pride, Self interest . You seek/ attempt to honor Gods purity, righthousness, love and through his Son the Christ Jesus, forgiveness of sin . Read scripture, the Holy Bible both Old and New, study the Word with others.Ask for understanding of it in prayer . My question to Nadia would be 1. what do you believe sin of an individual to be ? 2. Can you explain in depth what constitutes sin .? 3. What of Christs Word of " Go and sin no more ." .4 Does she promote that with the same fervor as she does of being non judgemental .?
Mat 24:15 Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place This is it guys: PROPHESY FULFILLED
"If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee." (Proverbs 25:21, 22; Romans 5:20 KJV).
Tradition (handed down instead of written, since the world's Romans and their predecessors and successors were, and always have been since then, out to exterminate any fleshly manifestation of God's glory on this earth, as they sought to do with Jesus and, with His mother after His ascension) tells us that St. Mary the Blessed Virgin sewed the first vestments for the bishops of the Church. Jesus wouldn't have been weirded out by vestments (or the guarantee of hearing inspired and inspiring Scripture by means of Liturgy -- and only hearing Scripture, instead of having to listen to un-Biblical, un-liturgical sermons extolling the world's CULTure that's so miserable to the seeker of God). Vestments and liturgy were a huge part of Temple Judaism so, they became part of Church Christianity, the fulfilled Judaism of the Jews who had accepted their Messiah Jesus of Nazareth. It's those who love this humanistic world who've become so utterly Diabolical who can't understand the serenity, the paltry yet sincere attempt at reflecting God's majesty, and the assurance of continuity of the faith throughout the ages that vestments and paraments (Church Liturgical decorations) can mean to believers (and for catechumens -- seekers -- who climb up out of the Devil's destructive lap and want to realize something higher than this rapidly disappearing world).
Talk about bringing the world into the church. This is 2 Tim 4:3-4 all over to me. Such blasphemous and beguiling speech going into itching ears. We are to be ambassadors for Christ and I don’t see him at all in this woman especially with her foul language. She needs some more Bible and Jesus in her heart and not all those curses.
Such a bundle of cheer in the peanut gallery! To top that off that statement - Vincent Van Gogh had critics and yet much of the world recognizes him as a great and very unappreciated painter in his lifetime.
@@meking6327 the woman doesnt teach the bible, she teaches her opinion. if you want to follow her to doom then jump in the saddle and ride. but we who can actually think and who know what the bible says will follow Jesus.
So you think she's wrong it is equally as wrong to mock somebody and call them names I used to work with children and if a child is right they will often be calm and collected when they respond but if they have to resort to name-calling they've lost the argument
much of what she says about forgiveness rings true, but those who have been forgiven much learn to love much and it is out of that love for the God who has forgiven them (not fear, or duty, or a rat-pellet reward system) that they repent, try to stop sinning, and try, fail, and try again to conform their heart tot the heart of Christ.
If we put anything above Jesus we lose the plot. Even if we put good things like love, peace and happiness above Jesus. Jesus isn't cool. He isn't uncool. He is mighty to save. He renews our hearts and minds. He is holy, he wants us to be holy. When we have the Holy Spirit in us we want to talk about Jesus Jesus Jesus! Name above all names.. Even Beyoncé.
what a breath of fresh air. it's all about love and forgiveness I was a LCMS Lutheran for over 50 + yrs.. and while I loved my church, I always felt there was something missing. and switched to ELCA Lutheran it was a really hard decision and I prayed and prayed about it.. I fell in love with the ELCA church .. it's total acceptance of all, its message of love, its non judgmental attitude.. it's inclusion of women in the clergy and church service... that's what God is all about people, it still blows my mind some of the old thoughts that were just assumed to be correct. I have never felt closer to God It might not be for all people, but for me I've finally found my home. And as we say in the Lutheran church .. God's Peace be with you!
Just to let you know , we can't make up a God we like in our mind, we have to accept God as He is, God is not okay with a lot of things, for good reason , and these things have caused us pain and separation, but he made a way to overcome it , through his blood, you can accept him or deny him, it is up to you but you can't make up a God that is okay with things he is not.
Matthew 16:18 And I tell you that you are Peter(rock), and on this rock I will build MY CHURCH!!!, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. John 20.23 Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Why this is not respected if you taken exclusively from the Bible?
I agree and appreciate so much of what she shares. I don’t agree with her comments that suggests that god is whoever you say or want god to be. If Jesus Christ wasn’t God the Son, and didn’t rise from the grave in bodily form, then the grace and forgiveness she peddles is also a farce. I believe Jesus is God the Son, and did rise from the dead, and in Him we have the grace and gift of forgiveness and eternal life. Hallelujah! And you can’t just insert Beyoncé in the place of Jesus and get the same benefit
The 12 steps are in the Holy Bible. People ask me some times. What I do for a living . I tell them that I work for a church. Than I tell them I try to keep people from going to "Hell" as a joke LOL HAHA. Then before thy get a word out of me I tell the I'm a really a building supervisor for a church. I try to keep the congregation a happy and the building A/C running to there specification but I can only keep about 10 happy out of 500.00 O well I just give my job over to Jesus
😟 "And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person’s share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book." -Revelation 22:19 You can't make the Bible say what you want it to. If you don't agree with it then call yourself what you are...an Atheist. God is the Bible! "In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God." -John 1:1 Yes there is a heaven and a hell...God knows we are flawed and that's why He sent Jesus to die for our sins. You don't go to hell for sinning and making mistakes. You repent and change your ways from that. You go to Hell by rejecting Jesus as your lord and savior. Jesus said this... "Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." -Matthew 25:41
What a wonderful and life giving message. When preaching the Gospel is stripped of religious trappings and traditions and false condemnations people are healed.
@@vaquero3578- people have made that claim against anyone they don't understand.

Glenn Powell - for one thing, the bible says that the unmoving earth rests on pillars over Hell, and the sun orbits above earth right below the big dome of the firmament in the sky. In other words, the bible is merely mythological poetry, not history and not science.
@Heidi K. bottom line is we are supposed to be like Christ...or strive to be. Thats what Christian means. We are human so all we can do is try. We all fall short somehow sometime. So many so called Christians are so self righteous and judgemental that many people shy away from Him because of it. ..or they say they will wait until they are, in their own eyes, good enough to go to church which is very sad. YOU, ME, nor anyone else are any better than another. How can you say her message is wrong? It isnt wrong. Shame is evil. Guilt is evil. Anger is evil. Resentment is evil. This woman is not at all evil. Neither is tolerance, forgiveness acceptance and grace.
A gifted misguided speaker. The lure and appearance of "cool" to the broken. Brief moments of clarity and uplifting Christian theology interspersed with profanity, broken personal opinion/experience and outright blasphemy. So sad; being outrageous to get the attention of the audience is hardly being a pastor.
No she has no idea what biblical grace means or from where it comes and what it's effects are. still, can't help if you're related to richie reneberg? saw him play in charlotte years back against Jim courier
Perry Gray-Reneberg = SORRY, NADIA DOES NOT KNOW THE FULLY MEANING OF GRACE !!! ==> GRACE IS THE FRIST STEP OF SALVATION !!!!! GRACE ALONE DOES NOT SAVE ONE FROM THE FLAMES OF HELL !!!!!! == Glorious Grace of God ONLY Gives Us the Freedom To Bring our Hearts and Thoughts Before God. ===== and Coming Before the True God Head with ALL our Filthy Thoughts and Heart's Desires, Won't be Saved From JUDGEMENT === UNLESS ===== We CONFESS ALOUD WITH OUR OWN MOUTHS, WHO GOD IS AND WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR US ==== Which is to Lay Down His Life, (Lion/Lamb) (Father/Christ) And GAVE UP HIS SPIRIT === So Filthy Sins, of Hearts and Thoughts Standing Before Him, Could Choose To Receive His Spirit/blood/water, TO BE CLEANSED BY HIS SPIRIT, CLEANSED OF THEIR FILTHY SINS, IN WHICH, ONE MUST LAY DOWN AND WALK AWAY FROM! === Like Nadia Laid Down Her Booze, and Took the Steps To Never take Another Drink, from the Abuse of Booze. So SHE is FREE, NO LONGER CAPTIVE of Her Wrong of Over Drinking Booze. ===== So Nadia Knows what Grace Really Means, === YET SHE DOESN'T FULLY PREACH IT, SHE THINKS SHE CAN TELL OTHERS TO SIMPLY STAND AROUND GOD'S GRACE AND NOT TAKE THE ACTION OF WASHING THEIR FILTHY SEXUAL ABUSE !!!!!! ONLY THE PRODIGAL SON(S) WHO TAKE THE STEPS To Realize the Filth they are in, with the Pigs in the mud, (miry clay of the Dust of this earth). And to Speak to God in Prayer; for ONLY a humble, broken down starving Heart, Needing the Truth, the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit He Gave Up, Will be Saved!!!!! So Like Christ laid down His Life, We are to do the same. ==== Nadia did in part the steps, of laying down Herabuse, and took the Steps to WALK away from that Abuse of Her life. . ==== SO ALL those who partake of the filth of sexual immorality and asks God for forgiveness of their filth. Lay it down, Leave it behind, like Nadia Laid Down her booze. WILL BE SAVED !!!!====== But sadly Instead Nadia does one thing, and preaches another. She Makes God's Grace the FULL power of Salvation === BUT THAT IS A LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL === IF God's Grace was ALL that was Required to be Saved from Hell and it's Eternal Pit of Death (Below our feet, and the dust of land) === then just the Breath of Life would save us, For that is the Full Power of Grace, we have a temporary breath of Life ===== BUT NO the Breath of Life is ONLY a Gift of GRACE, A Loving God gave us a Form of Life, from the Formless, Void pit of Death (below our feet) !!!!!!! God's Grace of Life, Brought Life, so those with Life can be Tested and Tried !!!! BUT TO SAY, a Sinner, doesn't Need to give up their Sin, will ALL be Saved, is truly a dangerous message. For the Filth of Sin, is Why We Are Separated from God. ==== So those Who Seek God With ALL of their Hearts, Will be Found by God. WE must do As Nadia done with Booze, ALL must CUT the wrong from their Life, ((EVEN IF IT MEANS, CUTTING ONE'S ARM OFF, OR PLUCKING ONE'S EYE OUT)) Like the Animal in Captivity of a Trap, chews His Leg off to be Saved, THAT IS WHAT THE CHOICE HAS TO BE, TO BE SAVED FROM THE 2ND DEATH AND JUDGEMENT. ===== SO WHILE BASKING IN THIS GIFT OF LIFE AND LIGHT, ALL WHO SEEK GOD, BECOMES FOUND, WILL WASH THEIR FILTH, AND TAKE THE DIFFICULT STEPS TO LEAVE THE FILTH BEHIND, TO MAKE THEIR JOURNEY ON TO GLORIOUS FLOW OF HOLY SPIRIT, CHRIST GAVE UP AT THE CROSS !!!!!! AND SO THIS IS WHAT GRACE TRULY MEANS !!!!!
A cussing pastor.....Ephesians4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs. She projects her opinion not biblical teachings.
NBW speaks from a place of love, at least that is what I feel when I see and listen to her. Love is the most powerful light, and the hardest to hold on to. The “critics” who write against her are what has destroyed religion for so many people. Quoting bible, and scripture to rebuke has gone on long enough in the public arena. Let yourself see the good that Jesus preached shine through her. Thank God...truly....for this clear hearted reminder of the importance of religion and having a guide such as her to keep us strong.
"If you have been told God is some kind of punishing, capricious, angry bastard with a killer surveillance system, who is basically always been disappointed with you for being a human being, you have been lied to." Totally true!
everything is recorded. just watch some near death experiences you will find so many telling of this experience of watching a movie of their life and being judged for it... it's a warning we should take very seriously.
Actually most churches do talk about forgiveness if there sermon is about a sin it always ends in forgiveness you act like churches are always telling you your horrible there not it seems to me you do not finish a "real" sermon instead you turn to the next cool Ted talk. Forgiveness is the definition of the church. Yes the church has at times done horrible things but that isnt the true church it's when the church becomes like the pharisees and are righteous that's when it's bad but most churches arent that. Just becuase they speak a hard truth doesnt mean they dont end it in jesus. Just saying
Well, we can name our institution all or anything we want never the less, the real question is, am i truly in the Kingdom of God? 1 cor. 6: 9-10 ; Luke 16:16 ; Mathew 25: 34-46, Please Take your time to read this powerful verses, Thank U.
Wow. From another world. Nadia, forgiveness isn't free. The Forgiven are forgiven because they were purchased at a costly price. All this forgiveness you speak of is forgiveness OF something!! Hmmm......could have something with that "sin management" program of which you spoke. I need sin management..... a lot. Ladies and gentlemen! You are watching the creation of a New Religion.......and it an't Christianity. (run ...very..... fast)
Well, I love her. She sounds more like a " New Thought " minister. More "Pantheist" or possibly "Panenthiest" either way, her delivery is the way , I believe, Christianity must evolve to survive. She would have much more acceptance as a Science of Mind minister but the Christian Lutherans are lucky to have her, even if some don't realize it.
The apostle Paul asks in Romans 6, “Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can keep on showing us more and more kindness and forgiveness? Of course not! Should we keep on sinning when we don’t have to? For sin’s power over us was broken when we became Christians and were baptized to become a part of Jesus Christ; through his death the power of your sinful nature was shattered. Your old sin-loving nature was buried with him by baptism when he died; and when God the Father, with glorious power, brought him back to life again, you were given his wonderful new life to enjoy.” Please read this entire chapter, Nadia.
Yes, thank you. It's appalling that this woman is an ordained minister as she barely seems acquainted with the Bible or Christianity's most basic tenets. She's focused on her own deliberately self-aggrandizing interpretations, her vanity, her need to be center of attention. This is not Christianity; it's a bad TED Talk and a cult of personality.
Forgiveness kept me beaten abused and ripped apart I like a lot of what you say I used to be a church leader till I suffered from chronic pain which turned out to be fibromyalgia I've forgiven the people that hurt me but what hurt me even more was Christians attitude towards me never letting me be a whole person who was mending in moving why can't the church handle ill people handle damage handle restoration why they are so obsessed whether you have forgiven someone that's one of the first things that was said to me when I disclose what was going on at home have you forgiven them not are you ok I'm in a lot better place now and helped other people but I know this kind of teaching still goes on and it is so damaging thank you that you are cutting through some of the crap sorry if some of this doesn't make sense I use voice activated software due to chronic pain and I don't always pick up mistakes
I am worried about our younger generation listening to this very confused and irreverent woman. She is preaching her own gospel, a religion of "self." When you do not know the Word of God, you do not know Jesus. Without Jesus you have a foolish religion without the Holy Ghost, a Christianity without the risen Christ, forgiveness without repentance, grace without justification, a Heaven without a hell and a monologue with no truth. Let us worship Him in spirit and in truth because the rest is mere vanity.
[Talking about forgiveness]: “This is what got Jesus killed, I just want you to know that.” Um no. What got him killed was proclaiming to be the Messiah, and God Himself. To the pharisees and priests, this was blasphemous, and worthy of death.
No jesus is the son of God/dont remembering 'claiming to be almighty God....he was killed as being the son of God- they didnt/wouldn't believe he could be as he was a man!
In my opinion this woman preaches 90% gospel and 10% heresy. Unfortunately it’s the 10% that’s going to take you to hell. The Bible speaks about those who practice sin have no inheritance in Gods kingdom. This woman is tickling the ears of sinners looking for acceptance of their sinful lifestyle. Read the Bible for yourself and pray for the Holy Ghost to give you the wisdom to understand scripture. It is true God loves you but He hates your sin. Read the Bible yourself!
THE FUCK! I'm left kinda speechless! We need more pastors like this! This makes me feel so much more okay, and like I'm not the only one with this kind of faith and struggling intertwined with each other. Fuck! I feel so much more loved from what she had to say, than from any other standard mainstream pastor I've heard in my life! This was SO MUCH MORE REAL AND HONEST!! Omg it was so.... Good!!
Yet another awesome person who makes me briefly wish anything about Christianity is real.
Truly disturbing to think she is a pastor
Just save your money, and be an atheist
Says a bunch of completely reasonable, compassionate, and theologically true statements about forgiveness. Trolls focus on the thirty seconds she mentions she doesn't believe hell is 100% real. Cool cool cool. Our world is broken and people suck. cool.
If Nadia had been around when I was growing up in the church that later ex-communicated me (Missouri Synod Lutheran), I might never have left the church. What a gift she is!
Its never too late to come back to Jesus ♡
Two more young Black men were murdered by white law enforcement and fear. Videos of their final moments are online. Their families and loved ones are mourning, Black folks all over are terrorized and traumatized all over again. Rage and heartbreak and soul tired numbness weighs me down. But the idea of leaning into and utilizing Grace to cut ties with the evil resonates with me. If that what forgiveness is, I may be able to want to pray for it. Thanks for posting this sermon. I’ll meditate on it.
it is a terrible thing. we take comfort in Nadia's words, too. what's possibly with prayer, honesty & forgiveness?
Well said!!
I live in Christchurch, New Zealand, where a little over four days ago at least 50 people were killed in an act of hate. I was angry, with him, I wanted to see the worst possible outcome for him, but I have begun to understand how a survivor who lost his wife and children can forgive this man. Nadia, you explain it so well. I left religion a long time ago, you may have won me back.
Looking at the story that reminds me that I end up harming the people that love me instead of those that I resent... I want to follow the Twelve Steps and your suggestions. Celebrating 26 years this Spring, Messy, and Dirty, and Holy. Thank you for being there on Easter Sunday when I heard your sermon and it was my sobriety anniversary, and I could forgive myself for my shortcomings and move forward to be of service! You rock.
The message that she is preaching here is actually pretty consistent with the radical grace message of Martin Luther 500 years ago. One difference is that Luther actually did believe that there was a hell awaiting those who rejected the offer of forgiveness and reconciliation accomplished by the saving work of Christ on our behalf. Also, I think that instead of "God loves you just the way you are," Luther would have said "God loves you in spite of the way you are. He loves you too much to leave you where you are, and that is why he wants you to grow in righteousness by increasing your love of Him and your neighbor, not that you will achieve the goal in this lifetime, but it is a goal toward which you should nevertheless strive." As a Lutheran myself, I think that I am a bit too traditional in my understanding of Lutheran theology to give her my total support.
Sarco, I like your retelling of Luther's position but Nadia would likely be burned at the stake by Martin. Glad we don't do that any more but if there is no Judgement and accountability, then from what are we saved ???
@Bill Asbury, I am pretty sure that is the point sarco64 was making (of which I agree with) that they disagree with Nadia when she says hell is imaginary.
@Heidi K, I know you're probably a worthless internet troll who just needs to make comments like that to feel better about yourself but really...I can't believe you are so quick to judge Pastor Nadia because of her heresy, when you also praise tele-evangelists like Dr. John Ankerberg who only preach the suffering of the law and the prosperity gospel in order to further their worldly success and financial gain. Also, how dare you say her parishioners are "not saved"...who made you the judge of who goes to heaven and hell? You are as filthy and sinful and she is, because we all are.
Having read Luther, and about him (taken classes as well) comparing the two is almost inconceivable. Luther based his theology off of a rigorous biblical hermeneutic. He said his mind d could be changed only by showing in the scriptures how he is wrong.
This woman, bless her, is going entirely by a theology of experience with absolutely no discernible understanding of the Bible.
It's sad
Although traditional readings of hell in the Bible remain the worldwide Church's majority position, there is a growing minority who reject the existence of an eternal hell (although they affirm that hell still exists, albeit as a temporary measure -- see The Evangelical Universalist: The Biblical Hope that God's Love Will Save Us All).
And I agree with your second point. God loves us because He is love itself (1 John 4). But I also wonder whether God loves us because we represent a part of His nature, having been made in His Image, which would make Nadia's point true also. I don't know about this, but it's a thought.
@classyt20f7 I do believe in hell 100%. I don't think this is eternal however, which is a view I got from the original texts and passages in the Bible which point to the Lord not casting anyone off forever (Lamentations 3:31) and all being made alive in Christ (Ephesians 3). Plus I really do not endorse the KJV. It has quite a few errors.
"For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. 'Having a form of godliness', but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
This was amazing. If she preached near my home, I would go back to church.
With this country's horrible chemical opioid addiction problem - this lady is a light in the dark.
No, this woman is horribly confused and cannot see her hand in front of her face.
the real Gospel is light:ruclips.net/video/EOkIJqjdUEY/видео.html
@@dmmusicmusic how can you say that?
Exactly what is so wrong with what she said?
"Gospel is Garbage"
At last!!! An unbeliever who is honest!!! Refreshing!! I am a little tired of the liberal word salad these phony ministers use to cloak themselves to gain access and then lie to the sheep.
@William Oarlock your opinion is garbage
I love this!Thank you!! I teared up a little here! LOL!!And laughed too!
This is the best sermon I have ever heard. Period.
I loved this. first, real sincere delivery I have heard in a long time. No of this fake bull shit you hear from other organized Churchs and their feckless speeches
𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱 🙏🙏🙏
oh my how wonderful to hear someone who speaks my language. I've not been able to find a church because everyone is always so ... I guess the word is ... Pious ... hey I wear jeans and t-shirts and love my tattoos and I can see 'the look' when I wear shorts ... It'd be great to be in a church like Nadia's where there is no judgment.
hippygranma it's Good to worship at the ELCA!
Ditto💜
hippygranma QA
hippygranma - stop trying to bring God's standards down to your level. the idea is to bring us up to His standards.
@@rickcoleman8277 - so you like satan worship eh?
Why do fundamentalists sound almost gleeful when they tell someone that they're going to wind up in hell? Be happy in your beliefs, but don't try to tell them what God thinks; you don't know. If you want to get apoplectic, watch some of Bishop John Shelby Spongs lectures or read his books. He is a Bible scholar not only of the New Testament, but has worked for several decades with Jewish scholars of the Torah (our Old Testament).
It's not a secret, the Bible reveals who God says is going to hell 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Wow. So many led astray. Just have some basic New Testament knowledge to see the Errors. Her words are mixed with Truth and Error. Do you not alter the words of Christ.
love how you put the message in real language. You are such a beautiful person & an outstanding minister.
What an amazing, inspirational woman. Thank you Nadia
@Heidi K. The scriptures warn against name-calling and judgement of others. If you have an issue with a pastor the Bible directs you to contact the person directly, not publicly speak against them.
She is not a pastor. She is an IMPOSTOR.
This is nothing more than a false profit.. she should actually read her Bible
Nadia Bolz-Weber. Thank you for saving my life, giving me hope and speaking truth. Almighty God is indeed merciful and gracious, abounding in steadfast love for everyone no matter what. God bless you Nadia.
yvonne taylor - this is what Jesus taught:
Jhn 8:11 ...Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee (GRACE): go, and sin (break Gods law) no more (STOP IT).
grace is not a license to keep on sinning as this fake 'pastor' teaches.
I am a lifer Lutheran..read the bible as an adolescent, understood it and confirmed by the church. As a mother of three ranging in age of 22 to 6 years old, a stage 4 breast cancer survivor, and having read the bible cover to cover over and over again...I have a absolute love for Nadia. Everyone will take from the bible what they personally need. Jesus wanted us to be like him, an he would NEVER judge anyone...only love them and hold them up. For anyone to have to walk through the short life we are blessed with.. holding despair, guilt and pain, because their neighbor, who is supposed to be loving them, is judging them with condemnation. God does not make mistakes... especially in creation of each of us...and he does not take back his promises....he will love us and forgive us unconditionally. Your relationship with God is yours...not someone elses. Ofcourse this is the opinion from a women who runs from people who have FEAR GOD bumper stickers.
She didn't save you, god did that, now turn away from this heretic and read your bible!
Did she save your life? Or Jesus?
All that is fine, except we need to remember that new creatures in Christ have a new Master. He is Lord and Savior by grace. Grace that cannot change your life cannot save your soul. Jesus said to the adulterous woman...."Go and sin no more." Romans 5:21 says: Grace reigns in righteousness...sin reigns in death. You cannot serve God and mammon. Paul said to stop sinning. Jesus said, My sheep hear my voice and they follow me. Who are you following? There is no excuse for sin. If you are living in sin do not call yourself a christian for God's foundation is sure sealed with this inscription: The Lord knows those who are His and let everyone who confesses the Name of the Lord turn away from wickedness, for on that day many will call him Lord Lord, but He will say, "I don't know you depart from me you who work iniquity." He cannot be savior of your life unless He is Lord of your life. Read that in Romans 10:9 and 10. So don't be misled by sweet preaching. God is a God of wrath too. It's in the bible.
Yes please people this is the truth.
Brilliant , that touched my soul, I loved the references to the twelves steps as well, I just completed a set . Resentments hurt in so many ways , thank you.
@Heidi K. There are scriptures forbidding calling people names. Maybe you should look for them.
This is just why the CHURCH at the time wanted to arrest Martin Luther, take him to Rome, brand him as a heretic and burn him at the stake. Grace, fully understood, is not some easy, cheap forgiveness exercise, it is an invitation for me to let go of the personal edifice of "righteousness" my ego has created, and to get real about my many flaws, then to receive the grace of a God who has personally, on the cross, experienced all of the pain and anguish I am trying to hide from, and who then says to me, "You are flawed and broken AND I accept you and love you just the way you are", "now go out into the world and try to treat others with the understanding and love with which I have treated you". That is not heresy, that is truth, stripped of religious pretence, and it is revolutionary.
Gerry Owen, that was beautifully said 💛
What Chris says, is go and SIN no more. A changing of ones ways is called for, not an improved aptitude for feeling better about one's sins.
Only Jesus could go without sinning. No one can go and "sin no more". That notion belongs in the same category as thinking repenting means you never sin the same way again. We cannot stop sinning. But we can be repeatedly forgiven.
I love you and understand that you were in chains of sin, Jesus can break the chains, accept him as your Lord and become a child of God, repent from your sins , he loves you, fear the Lord and know his commands and keep them and come back to God so he may heal you and forgive your sin
Jesus came not to forgive you in your sin , but to save you from your sin
Nadia you need to get born again and clean up your language.
I love Nadia :)
Martin Luther is rolling in his grave
love that she always ends with Amen
and so it shall be
Why would a pastor speak to a group without referencing scripture?
Exactly
Yet she literally displayed it in her spirit and the content of her message. The REMAH, or the spirit of the Word was all over it.
To unintentionally draw out the religious pharisees, thank you for showing up👌😙
It took exactly this type of speech..from exactly this kind of person, to help turn my little bunghole of a heart...towards God.
Im one of those people she is speaking of!
I grew up (in the Catholic Church) Went to Catholic school... All the while, secretly thinking of the church as some egotistical puritanical, hypocritical system of punishment and reward. A "Meritocracy " created by a bunch of stuffy dingbats, used to control the mindless masses. Her words, and this speech- may not work for some ( that's ok! ) but it has helped me... immeasurably! Im back in baby's arms so to speak and I return to this video often. It still has the power to bring me to tears.. I had it SO wrong, for so long... and its people like Nadia , (and Richard Rohr!) that have helped 'save' what some (Jerks! ) called
The 'unsavable' ... (Myself included)
It takes all kinds to make a world.. and took just this kind of speech to help some of us find our way "home". Saint Francis said .. " Preach the Gospel always, and if necessary, use words…” I didnt need someone spouting scripture (that they didn't seem to even embody) from some ' ivory tower' of self righteousness. What I needed was a 'translator' that I could relate to.. and thank you Nadia, for being that person.
Thank you Nadia! Thank you for helping me get back to God and what GOD is really about! Thank you!
Same here!
Just love the speech great thanks for being diferente.🇵🇷♥️
Thank Jesus for Nadia! speak truth into the darkness of this world.
cathy - she speaks the lies of the forked tongued devil.
Complete heresy
@Elwyn Cymru you follow this womans heresy, so her heresy is your heresy friend.
It's so lazy to call something heresy without explaining it but just the word is not appropriate it's not keeping with an adult conversation
Joseph Vincent She rejects the existence of Hell, she can simply be dismissed as a manifest heretic.
it goes against all Apostolic teaching, Jesus spoke explicitly about its existence.
I’ve also had a very frightening supernatural experience so I have no doubt, I used to be an atheist. She is wrong Hell is real and so are demons it’s why you see so much evil manifest in the world, the Bible is clear Satan is the prince of this world.
Listening for the umpteenth time. Learning something new every time. Thank you for being so different and so special and so real.
She is more about herself than about God. I truly pray for her.
ECLA needs repentance and God's help.
I'm not sure how you come to that belief, but I pray that God fills you with His wisdom and grace.
Friday, August 23, 2018/ This is what I have been telling people all this time. Forgiveness is what frees us. I forgive others because I know who I am. I know my heart and I know I appreciate forgiveness, whether it be from God, you or to myself.
It's not up to me to look at other's issues and judge them. "Love others as I have loved you", that's what I am supposed to do, nothing more, nothing less.
This was the first video I have seen by Nadia, God blessed me today with this word.
She does break boxes! (people's misconceived ideas of God)🤣

@@vaquero3578 Her interpretation is not for every Christian, then again, neither is your trolling everyone who is receptive to her preaching.
@@vaquero3578 yeah she just said imaginary hell!!! She's gonna imagine it alright when she actually sees it if she doesn't truly call on the Lord
Real talk! "Bolz-cutters"!
To some who may not get what this pastor says about God's Grace: Jesus said to His hearers, "Ye ARE the light of the world." Not, "if you follow the Four Spiritual Laws" or "if you pray the Sinner's Prayer": no. We ARE the light of the world, right here, right now.
How do we shine?
the concept is to love God above all others, things, possessions, pride, Self interest . You seek/ attempt to honor Gods purity, righthousness, love and through his Son the Christ Jesus, forgiveness of sin . Read scripture, the Holy Bible both Old and New, study the Word with others.Ask for understanding of it in prayer . My question to Nadia would be
1. what do you believe sin of an individual to be ?
2. Can you explain in depth what constitutes sin .?
3. What of Christs Word of " Go and sin no more ."
.4 Does she promote that with the same fervor as she does of being non judgemental .?
Mat 24:15
Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place
This is it guys:
PROPHESY FULFILLED
The powerful message we should spread!!
"If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee." (Proverbs 25:21, 22; Romans 5:20 KJV).
Tradition (handed down instead of written, since the world's Romans and their predecessors and successors were, and always have been since then, out to exterminate any fleshly manifestation of God's glory on this earth, as they sought to do with Jesus and, with His mother after His ascension) tells us that St. Mary the Blessed Virgin sewed the first vestments for the bishops of the Church. Jesus wouldn't have been weirded out by vestments (or the guarantee of hearing inspired and inspiring Scripture by means of Liturgy -- and only hearing Scripture, instead of having to listen to un-Biblical, un-liturgical sermons extolling the world's CULTure that's so miserable to the seeker of God). Vestments and liturgy were a huge part of Temple Judaism so, they became part of Church Christianity, the fulfilled Judaism of the Jews who had accepted their Messiah Jesus of Nazareth. It's those who love this humanistic world who've become so utterly Diabolical who can't understand the serenity, the paltry yet sincere attempt at reflecting God's majesty, and the assurance of continuity of the faith throughout the ages that vestments and paraments (Church Liturgical decorations) can mean to believers (and for catechumens -- seekers -- who climb up out of the Devil's destructive lap and want to realize something higher than this rapidly disappearing world).
Talk about bringing the world into the church. This is 2 Tim 4:3-4 all over to me. Such blasphemous and beguiling speech going into itching ears. We are to be ambassadors for Christ and I don’t see him at all in this woman especially with her foul language. She needs some more Bible and Jesus in her heart and not all those curses.
If you have critics, you must be doing well.
Hitler, Stalin, and Lenin had critics
Such a bundle of cheer in the peanut gallery!
To top that off that statement - Vincent Van Gogh had critics and yet much of the world recognizes him as a great and very unappreciated painter in his lifetime.
@@meking6327 the woman doesnt teach the bible, she teaches her opinion. if you want to follow her to doom then jump in the saddle and ride. but we who can actually think and who know what the bible says will follow Jesus.
So you think she's wrong it is equally as wrong to mock somebody and call them names I used to work with children and if a child is right they will often be calm and collected when they respond but if they have to resort to name-calling they've lost the argument
@ME King --Yeah, and Jesus is One of them.
Holy cow! That was freakin' awesome!
much of what she says about forgiveness rings true, but those who have been forgiven much learn to love much and it is out of that love for the God who has forgiven them (not fear, or duty, or a rat-pellet reward system) that they repent, try to stop sinning, and try, fail, and try again to conform their heart tot the heart of Christ.
If we put anything above Jesus we lose the plot. Even if we put good things like love, peace and happiness above Jesus.
Jesus isn't cool. He isn't uncool. He is mighty to save. He renews our hearts and minds. He is holy, he wants us to be holy. When we have the Holy Spirit in us we want to talk about Jesus Jesus Jesus! Name above all names.. Even Beyoncé.
what a breath of fresh air. it's all about love and forgiveness I was a LCMS Lutheran for over 50 + yrs.. and while I loved my church, I always felt there was something missing. and switched to ELCA Lutheran it was a really hard decision and I prayed and prayed about it.. I fell in love with the ELCA church .. it's total acceptance of all, its message of love, its non judgmental attitude.. it's inclusion of women in the clergy and church service... that's what God is all about people, it still blows my mind some of the old thoughts that were just assumed to be correct. I have never felt closer to God It might not be for all people, but for me I've finally found my home. And as we say in the Lutheran church .. God's Peace be with you!
Just to let you know , we can't make up a God we like in our mind, we have to accept God as He is, God is not okay with a lot of things, for good reason , and these things have caused us pain and separation, but he made a way to overcome it , through his blood, you can accept him or deny him, it is up to you but you can't make up a God that is okay with things he is not.
Matthew 16:18
And I tell you that you are Peter(rock), and on this rock I will build MY CHURCH!!!, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.
John 20.23
Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
Why this is not respected if you taken exclusively from the Bible?
Where sins abound grace and mercy abounds more! Great speech
I agree and appreciate so much of what she shares. I don’t agree with her comments that suggests that god is whoever you say or want god to be.
If Jesus Christ wasn’t God the Son, and didn’t rise from the grave in bodily form, then the grace and forgiveness she peddles is also a farce.
I believe Jesus is God the Son, and did rise from the dead, and in Him we have the grace and gift of forgiveness and eternal life. Hallelujah! And you can’t just insert Beyoncé in the place of Jesus and get the same benefit
Yikes! She reads everything she says. Two words… toxic dogma.
The 12 steps are in the Holy Bible. People ask me some times. What I do for a living . I tell them that I work for a church. Than I tell them I try to keep people from going to "Hell" as a joke LOL HAHA. Then before thy get a word out of me I tell the I'm a really a building supervisor for a church. I try to keep the congregation a happy and the building A/C running to there specification but I can only keep about 10 happy out of 500.00 O well I just give my job over to Jesus
Total brilliance. Thank you.

You can't make the Bible say what you want it to. If you don't agree with it then call yourself what you are...an Atheist. God is the Bible!
"In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God."
-John 1:1
Yes there is a heaven and a hell...God knows we are flawed and that's why He sent Jesus to die for our sins. You don't go to hell for sinning and making mistakes. You repent and change your ways from that. You go to Hell by rejecting Jesus as your lord and savior.
Jesus said this...
"Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels."
-Matthew 25:41
What a wonderful and life giving message. When preaching the Gospel is stripped of religious trappings and traditions and false condemnations people are healed.
Love this! Truth! So on point! 🙏♥️🙏
How does she know that Hell is imaginary ? What is her authority ?
What is anyone's authority to question?
glen powell - her authority is satan.
@@vaquero3578- people have made that claim against anyone they don't understand.
Glenn Powell - for one thing, the bible says that the unmoving earth rests on pillars over Hell, and the sun orbits above earth right below the big dome of the firmament in the sky. In other words, the bible is merely mythological poetry, not history and not science.
@Heidi K. bottom line is we are supposed to be like Christ...or strive to be. Thats what Christian means. We are human so all we can do is try. We all fall short somehow sometime. So many so called Christians are so self righteous and judgemental that many people shy away from Him because of it. ..or they say they will wait until they are, in their own eyes, good enough to go to church which is very sad.
YOU, ME, nor anyone else are any better than another.
How can you say her message is wrong?
It isnt wrong. Shame is evil. Guilt is evil. Anger is evil. Resentment is evil. This woman is not at all evil. Neither is tolerance, forgiveness acceptance and grace.
A gifted misguided speaker. The lure and appearance of "cool" to the broken. Brief moments of clarity and uplifting Christian theology interspersed with profanity, broken personal opinion/experience and outright blasphemy. So sad; being outrageous to get the attention of the audience is hardly being a pastor.
Well-put. Good observations.
AMEN 🎉
Totally unscriptural. Enough said.
She knows what "grace" really means. Get thee to an ELCA church, folks!
No she has no idea what biblical grace means or from where it comes and what it's effects are. still, can't help if you're related to richie reneberg? saw him play in charlotte years back against Jim courier
I wouldn't recommend anyone to go to and ELCA church. A Lutheran church yes, but not an ELCA church.
jimflys2 elca is lit as hell and she speaks at their gatherings lmao.
Perry Gray-Reneberg = SORRY, NADIA DOES NOT KNOW THE FULLY MEANING OF GRACE !!! ==> GRACE IS THE FRIST STEP OF SALVATION !!!!! GRACE ALONE DOES NOT SAVE ONE FROM THE FLAMES OF HELL !!!!!! == Glorious Grace of God ONLY Gives Us the Freedom To Bring our Hearts and Thoughts Before God. ===== and Coming Before the True God Head with ALL our Filthy Thoughts and Heart's Desires, Won't be Saved From JUDGEMENT === UNLESS ===== We CONFESS ALOUD WITH OUR OWN MOUTHS, WHO GOD IS AND WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR US ==== Which is to Lay Down His Life, (Lion/Lamb) (Father/Christ) And GAVE UP HIS SPIRIT === So Filthy Sins, of Hearts and Thoughts Standing Before Him, Could Choose To Receive His Spirit/blood/water, TO BE CLEANSED BY HIS SPIRIT, CLEANSED OF THEIR FILTHY SINS, IN WHICH, ONE MUST LAY DOWN AND WALK AWAY FROM! === Like Nadia Laid Down Her Booze, and Took the Steps To Never take Another Drink, from the Abuse of Booze. So SHE is FREE, NO LONGER CAPTIVE of Her Wrong of Over Drinking Booze. ===== So Nadia Knows what Grace Really Means, === YET SHE DOESN'T FULLY PREACH IT, SHE THINKS SHE CAN TELL OTHERS TO SIMPLY STAND AROUND GOD'S GRACE AND NOT TAKE THE ACTION OF WASHING THEIR FILTHY SEXUAL ABUSE !!!!!! ONLY THE PRODIGAL SON(S) WHO TAKE THE STEPS To Realize the Filth they are in, with the Pigs in the mud, (miry clay of the Dust of this earth). And to Speak to God in Prayer; for ONLY a humble, broken down starving Heart, Needing the Truth, the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit He Gave Up, Will be Saved!!!!! So Like Christ laid down His Life, We are to do the same. ==== Nadia did in part the steps, of laying down Herabuse, and took the Steps to WALK away from that Abuse of Her life. . ==== SO ALL those who partake of the filth of sexual immorality and asks God for forgiveness of their filth. Lay it down, Leave it behind, like Nadia Laid Down her booze. WILL BE SAVED !!!!====== But sadly Instead Nadia does one thing, and preaches another. She Makes God's Grace the FULL power of Salvation === BUT THAT IS A LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL === IF God's Grace was ALL that was Required to be Saved from Hell and it's Eternal Pit of Death (Below our feet, and the dust of land) === then just the Breath of Life would save us, For that is the Full Power of Grace, we have a temporary breath of Life ===== BUT NO the Breath of Life is ONLY a Gift of GRACE, A Loving God gave us a Form of Life, from the Formless, Void pit of Death (below our feet) !!!!!!! God's Grace of Life, Brought Life, so those with Life can be Tested and Tried !!!! BUT TO SAY, a Sinner, doesn't Need to give up their Sin, will ALL be Saved, is truly a dangerous message. For the Filth of Sin, is Why We Are Separated from God. ==== So those Who Seek God With ALL of their Hearts, Will be Found by God. WE must do As Nadia done with Booze, ALL must CUT the wrong from their Life, ((EVEN IF IT MEANS, CUTTING ONE'S ARM OFF, OR PLUCKING ONE'S EYE OUT)) Like the Animal in Captivity of a Trap, chews His Leg off to be Saved, THAT IS WHAT THE CHOICE HAS TO BE, TO BE SAVED FROM THE 2ND DEATH AND JUDGEMENT. ===== SO WHILE BASKING IN THIS GIFT OF LIFE AND LIGHT, ALL WHO SEEK GOD, BECOMES FOUND, WILL WASH THEIR FILTH, AND TAKE THE DIFFICULT STEPS TO LEAVE THE FILTH BEHIND, TO MAKE THEIR JOURNEY ON TO GLORIOUS FLOW OF HOLY SPIRIT, CHRIST GAVE UP AT THE CROSS !!!!!! AND SO THIS IS WHAT GRACE TRULY MEANS !!!!!
perry gray martin - no but she nows what DISgrace really means because that what she teaches.
A cussing pastor.....Ephesians4:29
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs. She projects her opinion not biblical teachings.
Religious splaining
This cracked me wide open
"Nothing personal, but I am super unimpressed by your sin."
I love this bitch XD I need like 99.9999% more of her in my life.
NBW speaks from a place of love, at least that is what I feel when I see and listen to her. Love is the most powerful light, and the hardest to hold on to. The “critics” who write against her are what has destroyed religion for so many people. Quoting bible, and scripture to rebuke has gone on long enough in the public arena. Let yourself see the good that Jesus preached shine through her. Thank God...truly....for this clear hearted reminder of the importance of religion and having a guide such as her to keep us strong.
mjsaville agree!
What's the deal with the two robots at the Beyonce part of the talk? 7:10-ish mark. Nothing. Hahaha!
Why, when they pan the audience, do you see most women smiling, laughing....and most men, with frozen faces?
"If you have been told God is some kind of punishing, capricious, angry bastard with a killer surveillance system, who is basically always been disappointed with you for being a human being, you have been lied to."
Totally true!
everything is recorded. just watch some near death experiences you will find so many telling of this experience of watching a movie of their life and being judged for it... it's a warning we should take very seriously.
Actually most churches do talk about forgiveness if there sermon is about a sin it always ends in forgiveness you act like churches are always telling you your horrible there not it seems to me you do not finish a "real" sermon instead you turn to the next cool Ted talk. Forgiveness is the definition of the church. Yes the church has at times done horrible things but that isnt the true church it's when the church becomes like the pharisees and are righteous that's when it's bad but most churches arent that. Just becuase they speak a hard truth doesnt mean they dont end it in jesus. Just saying
Well, we can name our institution all or anything we want never the less, the real question is, am i truly in the Kingdom of God? 1 cor. 6: 9-10 ; Luke 16:16 ; Mathew 25: 34-46, Please Take your time to read this powerful verses, Thank U.
Yep. She's cool. She's different (good thing)but listening, the message of forgiveness, grace through faith is there and knowing Jesus is paramount.
Thank you.
Without God's grace we are nothing. I don't agree with everything she says but the message of grace and forgiveness is there.
Try reading Marxianity by Brannon Howse for a full explanation of this sort of thing. It goes a lot deeper than you’d think.
Wow.
From another world.
Nadia, forgiveness isn't free. The Forgiven are forgiven because they were purchased at a costly price.
All this forgiveness you speak of is forgiveness OF something!! Hmmm......could have something with that "sin management" program of which you spoke. I need sin management..... a lot.
Ladies and gentlemen! You are watching the creation of a New Religion.......and it an't Christianity.
(run ...very..... fast)
The world needs more of this.
It's all "Look at me look at me look at me!"
Well, I love her. She sounds more like a " New Thought " minister. More "Pantheist" or possibly "Panenthiest" either way, her delivery is the way , I believe, Christianity must evolve to survive. She would have much more acceptance as a Science of Mind minister but the Christian Lutherans are lucky to have her, even if some don't realize it.
Christianity doesn't evolve. It conquers with grace.
Jesus was not an Hegelian.
The apostle Paul asks in Romans 6, “Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can keep on showing us more and more kindness and forgiveness?
Of course not! Should we keep on sinning when we don’t have to? For sin’s power over us was broken when we became Christians and were baptized to become a part of Jesus Christ; through his death the power of your sinful nature was shattered. Your old sin-loving nature was buried with him by baptism when he died; and when God the Father, with glorious power, brought him back to life again, you were given his wonderful new life to enjoy.”
Please read this entire chapter, Nadia.
Yes, thank you. It's appalling that this woman is an ordained minister as she barely seems acquainted with the Bible or Christianity's most basic tenets. She's focused on her own deliberately self-aggrandizing interpretations, her vanity, her need to be center of attention. This is not Christianity; it's a bad TED Talk and a cult of personality.
Is Nadia of Jewish descent?
Is Jesus of Jewish descent?
@@bjornlange635 Yes.
Forgiveness kept me beaten abused and ripped apart I like a lot of what you say I used to be a church leader till I suffered from chronic pain which turned out to be fibromyalgia I've forgiven the people that hurt me but what hurt me even more was Christians attitude towards me never letting me be a whole person who was mending in moving why can't the church handle ill people handle damage handle restoration why they are so obsessed whether you have forgiven someone that's one of the first things that was said to me when I disclose what was going on at home have you forgiven them not are you ok I'm in a lot better place now and helped other people but I know this kind of teaching still goes on and it is so damaging thank you that you are cutting through some of the crap sorry if some of this doesn't make sense I use voice activated software due to chronic pain and I don't always pick up mistakes
Joseph Vincent Forgiveness isn't suppression. You feel angry and then release it like a fart
I love her!
She is very interesting to listene to🤔
Do you love her or her false gospel? Or both?
Is that the ghost of Steve Irwin at 5:28? Love the content.
I am worried about our younger generation listening to this very confused and irreverent woman. She is preaching her own gospel, a religion of "self." When you do not know the Word of God, you do not know Jesus. Without Jesus you have a foolish religion without the Holy Ghost, a Christianity without the risen Christ, forgiveness without repentance, grace without justification, a Heaven without a hell and a monologue with no truth. Let us worship Him in spirit and in truth because the rest is mere vanity.
[Talking about forgiveness]: “This is what got Jesus killed, I just want you to know that.”
Um no. What got him killed was proclaiming to be the Messiah, and God Himself. To the pharisees and priests, this was blasphemous, and worthy of death.
Just to clarify:
Jesus was killed because he claimed to be God-he DIED to forgive our sins. 😄
No jesus is the son of God/dont remembering 'claiming to be almighty God....he was killed as being the son of God- they didnt/wouldn't believe he could be as he was a man!
Or they recognize a fraud when they see one
Log jam in the 👁comment section, keep loving Jesus Nadia😍😎😂😁😀😃😄😆
Log jam is hypocrisy, no hypocrisy here just telling the truth, read stuff in context, show yourself approved
Don’t fly away from me, you’re my butterfly
I am a new fan of her and her speaking. How powerful and clear!
READING FROM A SCRIPT.
This is satanic.
hallo gibts auch predigten in deutsch?
In my opinion this woman preaches 90% gospel and 10% heresy. Unfortunately it’s the 10% that’s going to take you to hell. The Bible speaks about those who practice sin have no inheritance in Gods kingdom. This woman is tickling the ears of sinners looking for acceptance of their sinful lifestyle. Read the Bible for yourself and pray for the Holy Ghost to give you the wisdom to understand scripture. It is true God loves you but He hates your sin. Read the Bible yourself!
