Met him here in Arkansas once. He stopped to talk to me for a long time and even prayed with me and for me. True genuine man who loves God with all his heart.
Jesus tells us us who we really are. "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one- I in them and you in me-so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, " How do we remember who we are, who God knows us to be? "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you." We cannot know who we are by finding guilt in others because we are like them and they are like us and truly we are like Christ, but that only comes by seeing Christ in everyone through forgiveness, not by our sacrifice or any other. "And if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless. " Have you seen how Ray goes over the 10 Commandments to prove that people are sinners? Jesus never did that. He forgave them seeing their innocence,, not their guilt.
@@robertdouglas8895 To begin, I have prayed for you, Robert. Both for your well-being, and that God will draw you closer to Him. Truly, in this life there is nothing more important than our relationship with the Lord. I strive to be nearer to Him each day as well. To do so each moment would be my heart's desire. I hope this message finds you doing well. I read your comment, and I felt the conviction to respond, and so I will give my thoughts on your comment in hopes that it might confer to you some benefit. It's not that Jesus forgave them because they were innocent, nor does he forgive us because we are innocent. He forgives us when we become truly repentent for our crimes and give ourselves into His hands, being justified by our faith in Him. Endeavoring to follow His commands as best we are able, for He is our Master and our God. Our lamp in the darkness. It is not that anyone in the flesh has ever been innocent (aside from Christ). Rather, the Lord is so supremely merciful that He gave us a path to redemption even though we don't deserve it. If any man could have been innocent of his own power, Jesus would not have had to die on the cross for us. Paul says as much in Galatians 2. Moreover, in Romans, Paul notes.. "as it is written: 'None is righteous, no, not one ' " Romans 3:10 ESV If one does not understand that they have broken God's holy laws and that they are guilty before God, then repentance will seem foolish. Why repent when you don't think you've done anything wrong? How can someone properly appreciate Christ's sacrifice when they don't understand what sins even are? It is our imperative as Christians to inform others of their sin and what sin is (i.e. sin is breaking God's laws). We do not say these things to be haughty or arrogant (that, too, is sin), but rather because we are also sinners. In a manner of speaking, we know every human born into this world has a disease (aside from Christ). We have access to a perfect medication for the disease and can tell others where to get it, but we need to convince other people that they actually need the medication, so they will actually acquire it and not succumb to their illness (i.e. go to Hell). If we do not teach others about the nature of sin and our inherent condemnation before God, they may even readily "accept" Jesus simply because there will appear to be no cost to follow Him. They will likely not think that they need to change anything about how they live, and they will most likely tack a false interpretation of Jesus onto their life. A false interpretation of Jesus will not save anyone from damnation. Also, you should keep in mind that in the gospels, Jesus was primarily preaching to Jews who already knew the law. They didn't need to be informed about the law as much as they needed to have the deeper aspects of the law conveyed to them. Hence, Jesus revealed that looking at someone with lust was adultery. Hating your brother is murder in God's eyes. Etc. The Jews had taken solace in following the letter of the law without understanding the spirit of the law, and Jesus pointed out where they had gone astray from God's intent. The gentiles who Paul and other apostles preached to needed more education about the law because they lacked an Abrahamic background. We effectively live in gentile cultures these days where few even know the Word of God. It is our duty to inform people about what is right and wrong in God's eyes. Not to beat them over the head with it, but so they know where they stand in God's sight. Moreover, if we are to truly follow Christ, we must understand what God desires from us. His Word and the commands contained within are the guidelines for our lives. Christ even tells us that if you do not keep His Word, then you don't even love Him. "Jesus answered, 'If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. The one who doesn’t love Me will not keep My words. The word that you hear is not Mine but is from the Father who sent Me.' " John 14:23-24 HCSB I, personally, feel that John 14:23-24 is some of the most convicting text in the Bible. Especially when paired with this text from Matthew 7: “ 'Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father in heaven. On that day many will say to Me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in Your name, drive out demons in Your name, and do many miracles in Your name?’ Then I will announce to them, ‘I never knew you! Depart from Me, you lawbreakers!’ ' " Matthew 7:21-23 HCSB
February 16, 2004. I saw Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron do a tag team on TBN of True and False Convert and Hell's Best Kept Secret. That night I became a Christian.
There are some notable ones on TBN. The whole Charismatic crowd and people that promote the "little gods" thing that has more in common with Mormonism than Christianity. TBN promotes TDJakes (a modelist who promotes the prosperity gospel. Modelism says that God changes "modes" and that there is no trinity.) Joyce meyer - (another prosperity teacher who said Jesus was beat up by demons in hell before he rose again. She also said at some point he stopped being God). She also holds to the little "gods" thing. Calling herself as apart of the "god" kind. Joel Osteen (there's a lot that could be said but one notable thing is that he didn't want to make the message of Christ a "narrow" thing. He panders a lot. He's just a motivational speaker. Steven Furtick (I've seen him with TDJakes and promote other false teachers. He's just the same. But to be more specific he said that Jesus "broke" the law for love. This is blatant heresy. Jesus fulfilled the law because he lived a perfect life. He never sinned. To say he broke the law is to say he is not God. This error makes the "Jesus" that he promotes is a false Jesus. A different gospel and not the true gospel. He also says in summary that God's power is limited. Not impossible as in "God can't do evil because he is the definition of Good", but "overriding" unbelief. This is barring from the heresy and shady backgrounds of the founders of TBN. (Paul crouch JR stated that his father had a drinking problem and would get so hammered that he was even drunk before going on set. TBN also has had other issues they have tried to cover up with money. For why prosperity gospel is a heresy I'll mention tithing and what it is and isn't. I won't explain it in fullest of detail but I will point to scripture. Tithing was apart of the old covenant. It was specifically food for their ministerial work. They didn't have an inheritance so God made sure they were taken care of. It wasn't money. Money existed during that time. The only time money was regarding the Levites was when it meant dealing with distance too great and for the money to be changed into food. Those were just small exceptions. Tithe was mainly food. Numbers 18 21 “Behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tithes in Israel as [i]an inheritance in return for the work which they perform, the work of the tabernacle of meeting It was also for those in the most vulnerable positions of society like Widows, Fatherless and the strangers. Deuteronomy 26 12 “When you have finished laying aside all the tithe of your increase in the third year-the year of tithing-and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be filled, God is so amazing. Look out for these people and ensuring they would be taken care of. Let's understand this though. Jesus's sacrifice fulfilled the law. Before he died, the law was still in effect. So he had to obey the law to fulfill it perfectly. After he died, the old law became dead to us. Romans 7 explains this in detail by comparing it to marriage (because marriage is a symbol for this) "2 For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives...." This was us with the old law that God gave us. We were bound to this law. Had we tried to go to another it would be like the wife going into Adultry. Going after another man while married. (Us going after a false god when we have the one true God "...But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband." This is also us. Because Jesus is apart of the God head..... (Triune God. full in unity. This is just how the bible describes it) ....when he died, the old law became dead to us. "3 So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress" If we went to another "god" we would be like this. An adulteress. "....but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man" Since Jesus rose again, he became the new husband. And by him we can go into the kingdom under a new law. A law of grace. This is all because Jesus himself is God. If he wasn't God the law would still be in effect. But since he died, the old law became dead to us. BUT! Since he rose again, we have the opportunity to be under a new law. The law of Grace! To go back to the old law would be an insult to Jesus. It would be like the woman, now married to the new husband, going back to the cold arms of her dead former husband and cling to him. It's VERY insulting. Back to tithing. Let's consider Galatians. In Galatians, Paul confronts Peter for enabling a false gospel. The false gospel of circumcision. If you remember, it was apart of the old covenant. A law given to the jews. As we say in Romans, that law is dead to us. And it isn't a minor thing either! Galatians 1 6I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the *grace of Christ*, to a different gospel, 7which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to *pervert[a] the gospel of Christ*. 8But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be [b]*accursed*. 9As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be *accursed*. To be accursed means to do nothing with. Circumcision was that false gospel because it is again, like a woman clinging to the bones of her dead former husband. It isn't the gospel of Christ. You can't be justified by following the law! Read Galatians 5 NKJV 1Stand[a] fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a *YOKE AND BONDAGE*. 2Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become *circumcised*, Christ will profit you nothing. 3And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is [b]a debtor to keep the *WHOLE LAW*. 4You have become estranged from Christ, *YOU WHO ATTEMPT TO BE JUSTIFIED BY LAW; YOU HAVE FALLEN FROM GRACE*. 5For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love. (Caps just for emphasis) Notice he said you would be a debtor of the whole law. This same logic would apply to tithing too. It is apart of the old covenant. Not the new covenant. It falls under the same false gospel as circumcision. Anyone following tithing and circumcision, according to God's word, is to be marked and avoided. Why? Because it is a perverted false teaching that makes you fall from grace! @kelleygall3644
If people do not believe Ray comfort ,that's ok , he speaks the Gospel and the Holy spirit convicts, My entire was family was raised Roman Catholic, in short when I was at death doors , I recognized I was a sinner , the first thing my family said to me your ok you never killed anyone , which is true. But the real truth was that I recognized my sins against against a Holy God . I knew the bad news (conviction) Never heard the good news . Until After that I heard Ray deliver the Gospel truth (yes online) . I heard the Gospel for the first time and now read the word of God daily. Blessings to living waters . To God all the Glory!
Amazing! ❤️ I love Ray and what he does. Makes me cry a lot of the time seeing one recognize their sin. I just wish Ray wouldn’t tell them they must “turn from sin” or “stop sinning” in order to obtain Salvation.
Ray Comfort actually preaches a false gospel of salvation by works. He preaches that one must "turn from sin (perpetually)" to be saved, which is works. This type of false gospel causes false conversions, because it tells people they're saved by their works, not by Jesus' payment for our sins on the cross.
Jesus died for your sins. Call out to him. Take your life seriously and pray. Things of the spirit are foolishness to those who live by the flesh. Pray with humility and God will reveal himself to you. I pray God will make his existence undeniable to you and you can know the peace that surpasses understanding.
I listened to Hells Best Kept Secret sermon 4 years ago and it transformed my walk with the Lord. I was saved in 1998 and I was not rightly dividing scripture, I was not in my Bible daily, I was living like the world, I was deceived in so many areas and listening to false teachers and some really bad doctrines. Listening to Ray’s sermons turned me around and pointed me in the right direction. It forced me to examine myself, as the scripture tells us to do, and to make sure I really belonged to God. Praise God for getting me on the straight and narrow. 🙌
@@RickStorlie Amen. Excellent answer. Now when Ray Comfort tells unbelievers they must “turn from sin” (ie. works, not faith) to be saved, how would you respond to this?
Three years ago, Ray Comfort’s videos showed me the truth of my status before a Holy God. I had absolutely no previous knowledge of the Bible or God. Completely self righteous… I’ve been on fire for the Lord ever since I heard it! Feasting on the Word of the Lord every day. Thank you Ray & the Living Water’s team for providing these videos to share the gospel and encourage believers. -Marissa
@@Robert-55 If you believe anyone deserves to go to heaven, then you do not know the slightest bit about God's grace and His redemptive work on behalf of His people.
@@Robert-55 “Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”” I Peter 1:13-16 NKJV
The Lord used Ray Comfort to truly bring me to Christ during the summer of 2020. I thank the Lord for his life and his faithful ministry (Living Waters). In the mist of panic attacks, watching his youtube videos of him ministering to people on the street allowed me to reflect on my own life and the Holy Spirit met me then. The peace I experienced after was like non other before. It wasn’t Ray’s words but the Gospel. The way he explained it in a way “even a child could understand.” 🥺 May the Lord continue to use him 🤍🙌🏻
I love this so much!! Even tho I’m only 15, Ray comfort and Todd have really helped and encouraged me through my journey with Christ. It’s so much fun seeing them both together 😁 I listen to wretched almost everyday and I love every second of it. I’m learning so much!
Please mark and avoid these teachers. They both preach a false gospel. Todd preaches a completely false gospel (ie. Calvinism) in which salvation occurs outside of Jesus Christ. Ray Comfort preaches salvation by works, that one must "turn from sin" to be saved.
@@jedimasterham2what a terribly horrible thing to say to a young person/young believer…. You will have to answer to God one day. God is Holy and righteous and we can’t obtain that but what we can realize by the law is we are soooo wretched and we need a Lord and savior
I dont know about calling them false teachers, they're are good people who love the Lord in all denominations that have a particular way of theirtheology. Not to say they are wrong but maybe emphasize different aspects of the relationship with Christ, on salvation, justification through faith alone, but the faith should also be practiced through the ability to turn away from sin.
Thank you for this interview. About half-way through, I had to grab my notebook and take some notes! I began with Ray's quote, "We come to Christ not for a better flight, but for a safe landing!"
@@robertdouglas8895 That's a true promise from God to followers of Christ, however it certainly isn't the central motivation that He focuses on in His offer of Salvation. Christ was comparing a life with Him vs one apart from Him.
@@LionsOfHope-23 If you decide your life will be one of suffering, that's what you will get. Ask and you shall receive. I don't do that. My life here is for joy, not suffering. The consequence of love is joy and forgiveness guarantees that. If you are suffering it's because you wish it on others.
@@robertdouglas8895lol go pick up a Bible. What we were promised were tribulations, acts and pauls letters are all about that. What we can have guaranteed is his peace that surpasses all understanding through the midst of the storm. Not to say He won't help or bring you other good things into your life, but that's not what your expectations should be set upon. Try preaching your privileged pov to the hundreds of millions of people living lives of poverty all around the globe and see the tragic results...
It's wild that you guys met 20 years ago. You guys really played a vital role in paving the way for the ministers of my generation. I am 22 and look up to both of you very much. Thank you for not conforming to modern Evangelicalism but standing firm in the truth of scripture.
I love you both, and have so much respect for you. I hung on every word and learned so much. Ray, I can’t tell you how many times I have cried watching even the hardest hearts soften and bow before the Lord after you have witnessed to them. It is the most precious thing! Salvation.❤ The words I most want to hear before God are “Enter in, good and faithful servant.” The most fearful words would be “Depart from Me, for I never knew you”.
I watched this with laughter and tears. Thank the Lord for such a gift to the body of Christ. And thank you Todd for doing this before Ray went to Heaven.
@@opalbeauty1578 thank you for your kind heart and encouragement. I did not intend for my words to sound as if I thought he had passed on to Heaven. Usually, these kind of videos are made only after one has passed and we look back to what they accomplished.
As a child I grew up in a Hispanic church that used the law of the Lord, but as I assimilated & I had a desire to attend a typical American youth group, where I saw more of the modern evangelism..."accept Christ into your heart, etc..." I essentially became a false convert. It was not until this year that my husband introduced me to Living Waters in that moment everything "Clicked" I realized that small immigrant church, even though I wanted so badly to fit among my peers, had it right all along. Now as a parent I have always questioned what age is appropriate for children to be baptized and this video really hit the nail on the head see 53:11 (oddly enough that church believed a child was 'too innocent" to understand sin & what baptism is). Thank you for covering this topic.
So looking forward to watching this, love Ray and Todd 😊, unfortunately its not loading, although this is a good sign that so many want to hear from Ray 😁❤🇦🇺
i watched him on our local chanels here in kenya a few years ago and i could not believe what an horrible human being i was. After two episodes i thought thunder was going to strike me dead i repented never looked back Christ is my Lord now i thank God for His grace shown to me through what ray does.
That is not the True Gospel of Jesus Christ that's Not salvation that's probation If it anything like what u just said like adding " "repenting me turning from sins" THAT'S A LIE FROM HELL. do you know why Jesus died? Jesus Christ died for all our sins past present future. It is not by our own works of turning from sins confessing sins to be saved It is all about what Jesus Christ did for us all on the cross by shedding His Powerful Innocent Precious Blood for all our sins . For those who believe in Jesus's Finished Work in His death burial Resurrection as a payment for their sins is saved . We are all sinners deserving hell forever We all fall short of The Glory of GOD We cannot save ourselves from hell forever. Only by believing in The Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ and what He did we are Saved forever. Jesus Christ is that perfect Sacrifice for our sins Jesus Christ came down from Heaven being fully GOD and being born of a virgin birth being fully man. Jesus Christ lived a Perfect and SINLESS Life He knew no sin. We are Saved by Grace Alone through Faith Alone in Christ Alone nothing more nothing less. It is not of ourselves lest any man should boast. Salvation is a Free GIFT from GOD We cannot lose Salvation. Once saved always saved. So do you believe in what Jesus Christ did on the cross His death burial and Resurrection for the payment of your sins past present future Or do you believe you have to add something you do for salvation in with THE ALMIGHTY POWERFUL PRECIOUS INNOCENT BLOOD OF JESUS WHICH IS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH? The Bible says that our works are like Filthy rags like tampons to GOD .
Just beware. Ray Comfort preaches a false gospel of salvation by works. He often tells people they have to "turn from sin" to be saved, which is works. Of course he never explains how much one must "turn from sin" to be saved. A convenient blank. He's been called out on this for years, and he misleads many people. The problem is, Ray does not understand what "repentance" means, and has taken a variety of verses completely out of context. No doubt he's saved, and we should pray for him, but he should be marked and avoided for preaching a false gospel.
@@maggie4126 The act of trying to “turn from sin” is a human work according to scripture. In particular, the act of trying not to do something (like refraining from sinning) is doing something. That’s not what repentance is. Repentance is the 180 degree change in mind from belief in anything other than Jesus to save us, to only Jesus to save us. Why? Because we can’t say we trust in Jesus to save us if we believe Buddha and Mohammad also save us. That’s not trusting in Jesus. Therefore, the change of mind needs to be Jesus only. I hope this clarifies “repentance.”
Actually 4 or 3 years ago, Ray had help me. Thanks to him I understand how much God and The Lord Jesus Christ loves me. He help me a lot. He is such a blessing. God used him to reach out to those who seeks the truth. Thank you God, Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you Ray.
What a fabulous conversation to watch! I just love Ray Comfort and I am in so much awe of his faithfulness and steadfastness in evangelizing the Gospel. I watched this from beginning to end. Laughed out loud several times and almost shed a few tears as well. Very convicting to me and I pray that the Lord would use me to be more bold and effective in my sharing of the gospel.
Ray works at finding sin in everyone for his show. That makes him better than they are and attracts followers who do the same thing. Jesus never did that. He forgave everyone.
@@louisetippets7855 Then you deserve punishment. When I forgive everyone then I know we are created in the likeness of God and no one has the power to change God's creation. Then I know punishment is not necessary for anyone.
I gifted my two grown sons and myself with the Living Waters Evidence Bible last Christmas. Ive been watching Ray Comfort for decades. This Bible is well made.
I gave my heart to the Lord on a Monday on the school playground when I was 8 years old. I had heard a sermon the night before and I didn’t want to go to hell. I was brought up in a Christian home…my daddy being a preacher but I don’t remember if it was his sermon or not but I had the fear of the Almighty instilled in me!!! I am 71 and am still a strong believer although I hosted my own music shows in bars for 25 years but I never forsook my faith but wasn’t living 100% for my Lord. I did a lot of witnessing during those years but felt like a phony singing in bars and pubs. I was just using my talents to help pay the mortgage. I’ve been out of that for over 15 years now and am doing all I can to witness when I can by leaving Ray Comfort’s tract’s wherever I go. I have terrible knee pain so I’m witnessing on Facebook, posts…like this…on RUclips and leaving gospel tracts. I’m trying to make my God pleased by sharing His Word. I’ve learned a lot from watching Ray over the last several years. He is truly unique and a man of God!!!
Hi Kathy, God used you as light in places of darkness. You were God's vessel in those bars and pubs. You'll never know how anyone's life might have been touched, because of your presence. All it takes is just one seed to germinate and grow. God took one willing seed, Abraham and made him the father of many nations.
I didn't even need to watch more than a couple of minutes of the video to know who Ray Comfort is . Ray comfort is a sinner saved through God's grace. He is the same guy yesterday today, and tomorrow. Because being born again, God has given him the ability to love his neighbor as himself as the Lord does to every born-again believer, and being a recipient of Ray's kindness off the air, I can truly say he sees others more important then himself, and others needs just as important as his own! (Philippians 2:3-5)
I watched every minute of this and some parts twice or three times, taking notes along the way. Likely the best video ever produced on Wretched. Thanks Todd (Tom) and Ray (Roy), lol
I love to hear Ray share the gospel with those from all different backrounds,he a faithful servant and a very humble brother in the Lord.PTL 🙏🏽✝️💕💯 🗣📖"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise."(Proverbs 11:30).
I can't wait for Ray to get to heaven,and Jesus will say to him "well done my good and faithful son". That will be a beautiful moment. I hope to one day be before my Lord and hear the same .
I love Ray Comfort!!! He's very compassionate and loving. He knows his word also!! He's very truthful in presenting His law first.I watch,Just Witnessing all of the time. It's encouraging to watch it.❤💛💛💛
What a wonderful and fulfilling hour and a half I just spent with you two amazing lovers of God and Yeshua/Jesus. May the peace of our lord be with you! Keep up your amazing work for God. The whole world needs you!
Ray’s spiritual gift from the Lord is the ability to relate difficult things to people in a way that shows love, not judgement, truth, not avoiding the hard truths and relate them in a way that shows his love and concern for them. His love for the lost and love for his Saviour comes through every interview.
To know Ray is to love Ray. What an amazing Saint and Servant. I've watched Ray and studied Ray's teachings and was totally blessed to have talked with him on the phone. All he does is for God. His focus is obedience to Christ. Always seeking to help save the lost. My life has been totally changed as I try to follow Ray, who follows Christ. Sharing Sisters In Service loves Mr. Comfort.

So....I can watch any other hour long video without issue, but this isn't loading at all. I have unlimited data, and I just tested RUclips by clicking into a different documentary. Worked fine. But this won't even play the ads or even start loading. EDIT: Finally! It played! Awesome interview! We love Wretched and Living Waters, couldn't have a better mashup- and man did those jokes rock! 😂🎉✝️
Ray Comfort is a fellow brother in Christ, and he is used mightily by the LORD to lead people to our LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. The LORD bless you richly in your continued witnessing encounters to people from all walks of life. 😊
I listened to almost every Way Of The Master Radio Podcast, learnt so much from Todd and Ray. Great memories of Fish with Trish, Tony Verkinnis, Tony the Cop, and Aaron the actor. I wish you would re-upload the podcasts from back then.
When I witness to others I use some of Ray's techniques. We stand on the shoulders of greatness. Bless Jesus our Teacher, God bless Ray and Todd, and praise the Lord.
Enjoyed this, hallejuah, may we hug in Heaven with Jesus our Redeemer, one day God willing ❤ in Christ-like family love. Thank y’all, thank Jesus Christ, God of Abraham!
“Tom…Todd”……😂 I love the work that the Lord does through both of these ministries! Wretched and Living Waters have ministered to me so much I can’t even start to write it all out! I thank and praise God for you both, Todd and Ray!
Ray is an indefatigable follower of Christ, blessed with an inexhaustible gift of Evangelism. Many times I've used his "Good person' narrative because it is profund in its simplicity. Sadly, he lost that sweet puppy a couple months ago. I pray the Lord brings him another partner soon.
Love these two men. True servants of god . Leave the legacy and run the good race until the end . You both have tremendously helped me with my walk with the lord . Thank you is an understatement ❤
Ray Comfort is an amazing human being. Unchanged (a good thing), consistent and kind. I've listen to Hells Best Kept secret well over 100 times over the years. Bless this man and all the work that he does.
I love videos like this one where two of my favorite preachers do an interview/have a discussion. I loved the ones where they traveled to other countries together as well. I would love to see more of them. I love it when they are street preaching too. God bless you guys and your ministries.
Fantastic conversation gentlemen I think I may have been a false convert 47 years ago. I came to Christ when that false statement was everywhere Jesus loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. Thats bubble gum evangelism. That quote you showed from Charles Spurgeon now thats the way to start. Ray and Todd Ive watched you guys for a long time , Ray I tried your method to a woman in the mall when I asked her when she dies where will she go she said Heaven I said why she said she was a good person so we took the test together. It was amazing thanks guys Gods continued blessing in your lives.
I shook his hand when he was in christchurch square new zealand..around 1981. I felt his godly love in that moment..he smiled very warmy..you sensed Christ in him
I watch all of Ray's evangelism videos on RUclips and I've seen most of his short movies. I buy his tracts all the time and give them out. I love that man and his ministry. I wish I could be like him! He shows us what a real Christian looks like. Thank you for this video, Mr. Friel. I love watching your videos too, so this is a double treat for me!
Thank you! That was so good! Encouraging and instructing ! May GOD bless you both! Praying for more Godly men to fall in love with JESUS and have fear of The LORD!!
What a delightful and winsome interview! I had to listen again to catch every delightful insight and example. Like Ray explains in what spurs him on he says in essence, " I want to have the fuel of gratitude inside of me that is the high octane that drives me to do God's will,. Love is such a powerful thing, it's the fountain of everything!" Ray Comfort and Todd Friel are humorous too-very playful! They motivate me to want to get out and be a more faithful witness!
I love his heart for reaching out to the lost out there on the street, while also producing media (written, audio, and video) presenting the Gospel to whatever audience would read/listen/view those media
You can see how you two have been friends for years - you are both so funny. Enjoyed this conversation so much! Love Ray's evangelism videos so much - Mario's was one of my favorite. I still cry when I see that young man.
Being kind is how we are happy and at peace. Forgiveness takes us there and allows us to take responsibility for our lives instead of blaming other people for our problems. We are all created in the likeness of God. We may not be demonstrating that now but we all have that potential. Seeing that in others lets us see it in ourselves.
This was the sweetest, silliest, most wonderful interview ever! I love Ray and Todd both so much, and to see their wit and humor collide with their love for the lost all in one awesome sit down-it was just pure magic.
@Quint-ib4nf I have no idea what you're talking about. I never heard that, perhaps he was showing compassion to people and hating an act instead of hating people and hating the act. Hating what people do and not hating people is what the Bible commands Christians to do, find this hard myself to do sometimes.
@Quint-ib4nf maybe there's something nobody knows about the situation that Ray does. I don't know. I do know what the Bible says. And Ray says it, so he is cool in my book. I don't really care about his opinion on earthy things when deciding if he has sound theology, a spiritual topic. I've heard him preach in video many times, and it is 99% sound, which is a lot more than almost everyone else.
Jesus Christ earthly ministry should be the example " of what a Christian should be" I mean all The disciples imitated Christ . Jesus said " man cannot live on bread alone " Only by The Word of GOD we can get clear instructions on how to live a godly life . Not trust man and his own ways . We shouldn't be worshipping man or idolizing man but we should be Worshipping GOD all the time .
@@Jesussaves.7777this is what Ray preaches and reiterates through parables so modern day people who would likely never read a decent amount of, for some, hard to understand scripture translated from an ancient language, to plant a seed so they might eventually be saved. No one is idolizing a man. Were giving props to a good man of God. The next message down is to you as well.
@@HurryHurryOmahaand how is that? How dare he tell people the truth of the gospel that does not contradict scripture. I'm guessing you think repentance to sin is works? A work is defined as a physical action. Saying nice things to people, donating to charities, feeding the poor, these are works. Repentance is a change of mind, the same as the meaning of belief itself; it is not a physical work. It automatically happens to every Christian who is a true believer, it's evidence that you truly believe. A nonrepentant self called Christian is a hypocrite, and I encourage you to google scripture verses about what Jesus and Paul say about hypocrites. Repentance is the belief that sin is wrong. If you really believe that, you'll try not to sin. If you don't. You do not really believe. Re read the hypocrite statement above. 1 Cor 6:9 isn't kidding...So seek your salvation with fear and trembling, not scoffing someone legitimately not preaching false gospel that this world drinks up like they do their iniquity.
Met him here in Arkansas once. He stopped to talk to me for a long time and even prayed with me and for me. True genuine man who loves God with all his heart.
He is very cordial until you question his ideas and show him Jesus disagreed with them. Then he shadow-banned me from his channels.
@@robertdouglas8895 how does Jesus disagree with him?
Jesus tells us us who we really are.
"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one- I in them and you in me-so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, "
How do we remember who we are, who God knows us to be?
"For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."
We cannot know who we are by finding guilt in others because we are like them and they are like us and truly we are like Christ, but that only comes by seeing Christ in everyone through forgiveness, not by our sacrifice or any other.
"And if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless. "
Have you seen how Ray goes over the 10 Commandments to prove that people are sinners? Jesus never did that. He forgave them seeing their innocence,, not their guilt.
that doesn't show that jesus disagreed with him@@robertdouglas8895
@@robertdouglas8895 To begin, I have prayed for you, Robert. Both for your well-being, and that God will draw you closer to Him. Truly, in this life there is nothing more important than our relationship with the Lord. I strive to be nearer to Him each day as well. To do so each moment would be my heart's desire. I hope this message finds you doing well. I read your comment, and I felt the conviction to respond, and so I will give my thoughts on your comment in hopes that it might confer to you some benefit.
It's not that Jesus forgave them because they were innocent, nor does he forgive us because we are innocent. He forgives us when we become truly repentent for our crimes and give ourselves into His hands, being justified by our faith in Him. Endeavoring to follow His commands as best we are able, for He is our Master and our God. Our lamp in the darkness. It is not that anyone in the flesh has ever been innocent (aside from Christ). Rather, the Lord is so supremely merciful that He gave us a path to redemption even though we don't deserve it. If any man could have been innocent of his own power, Jesus would not have had to die on the cross for us. Paul says as much in Galatians 2. Moreover, in Romans, Paul notes..
"as it is written: 'None is righteous, no, not one ' "
Romans 3:10 ESV
If one does not understand that they have broken God's holy laws and that they are guilty before God, then repentance will seem foolish. Why repent when you don't think you've done anything wrong? How can someone properly appreciate Christ's sacrifice when they don't understand what sins even are? It is our imperative as Christians to inform others of their sin and what sin is (i.e. sin is breaking God's laws). We do not say these things to be haughty or arrogant (that, too, is sin), but rather because we are also sinners. In a manner of speaking, we know every human born into this world has a disease (aside from Christ). We have access to a perfect medication for the disease and can tell others where to get it, but we need to convince other people that they actually need the medication, so they will actually acquire it and not succumb to their illness (i.e. go to Hell).
If we do not teach others about the nature of sin and our inherent condemnation before God, they may even readily "accept" Jesus simply because there will appear to be no cost to follow Him. They will likely not think that they need to change anything about how they live, and they will most likely tack a false interpretation of Jesus onto their life. A false interpretation of Jesus will not save anyone from damnation.
Also, you should keep in mind that in the gospels, Jesus was primarily preaching to Jews who already knew the law. They didn't need to be informed about the law as much as they needed to have the deeper aspects of the law conveyed to them. Hence, Jesus revealed that looking at someone with lust was adultery. Hating your brother is murder in God's eyes. Etc. The Jews had taken solace in following the letter of the law without understanding the spirit of the law, and Jesus pointed out where they had gone astray from God's intent.
The gentiles who Paul and other apostles preached to needed more education about the law because they lacked an Abrahamic background. We effectively live in gentile cultures these days where few even know the Word of God. It is our duty to inform people about what is right and wrong in God's eyes. Not to beat them over the head with it, but so they know where they stand in God's sight.
Moreover, if we are to truly follow Christ, we must understand what God desires from us. His Word and the commands contained within are the guidelines for our lives. Christ even tells us that if you do not keep His Word, then you don't even love Him.
"Jesus answered, 'If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. The one who doesn’t love Me will not keep My words. The word that you hear is not Mine but is from the Father who sent Me.' "
John 14:23-24 HCSB
I, personally, feel that John 14:23-24 is some of the most convicting text in the Bible. Especially when paired with this text from Matthew 7:
“ 'Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father in heaven. On that day many will say to Me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in Your name, drive out demons in Your name, and do many miracles in Your name?’ Then I will announce to them, ‘I never knew you! Depart from Me, you lawbreakers!’ ' "
Matthew 7:21-23 HCSB
February 16, 2004. I saw Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron do a tag team on TBN of True and False Convert and Hell's Best Kept Secret. That night I became a Christian.
❤ That's wonderful!
Only it's a shame that Kirk Cameron is now talking to some false teachers on his chanel 😢❤🇦🇺
Can you share with me how you got saved, please?
@@jennig8824which false teachers?
There are some notable ones on TBN. The whole Charismatic crowd and people that promote the "little gods" thing that has more in common with Mormonism than Christianity. TBN promotes TDJakes (a modelist who promotes the prosperity gospel. Modelism says that God changes "modes" and that there is no trinity.)
Joyce meyer - (another prosperity teacher who said Jesus was beat up by demons in hell before he rose again. She also said at some point he stopped being God). She also holds to the little "gods" thing. Calling herself as apart of the "god" kind.
Joel Osteen (there's a lot that could be said but one notable thing is that he didn't want to make the message of Christ a "narrow" thing. He panders a lot. He's just a motivational speaker.
Steven Furtick (I've seen him with TDJakes and promote other false teachers. He's just the same. But to be more specific he said that Jesus "broke" the law for love. This is blatant heresy. Jesus fulfilled the law because he lived a perfect life. He never sinned. To say he broke the law is to say he is not God. This error makes the "Jesus" that he promotes is a false Jesus. A different gospel and not the true gospel. He also says in summary that God's power is limited. Not impossible as in "God can't do evil because he is the definition of Good", but "overriding" unbelief.
This is barring from the heresy and shady backgrounds of the founders of TBN. (Paul crouch JR stated that his father had a drinking problem and would get so hammered that he was even drunk before going on set.
TBN also has had other issues they have tried to cover up with money.
For why prosperity gospel is a heresy I'll mention tithing and what it is and isn't. I won't explain it in fullest of detail but I will point to scripture.
Tithing was apart of the old covenant. It was specifically food for their ministerial work. They didn't have an inheritance so God made sure they were taken care of.
It wasn't money.
Money existed during that time. The only time money was regarding the Levites was when it meant dealing with distance too great and for the money to be changed into food.
Those were just small exceptions. Tithe was mainly food.
Numbers 18
21 “Behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tithes in Israel as [i]an inheritance in return for the work which they perform, the work of the tabernacle of meeting
It was also for those in the most vulnerable positions of society like Widows, Fatherless and the strangers.
Deuteronomy 26
12 “When you have finished laying aside all the tithe of your increase in the third year-the year of tithing-and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be filled,
God is so amazing. Look out for these people and ensuring they would be taken care of.
Let's understand this though. Jesus's sacrifice fulfilled the law. Before he died, the law was still in effect. So he had to obey the law to fulfill it perfectly.
After he died, the old law became dead to us.
Romans 7 explains this in detail by comparing it to marriage (because marriage is a symbol for this)
"2 For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives...."
This was us with the old law that God gave us. We were bound to this law. Had we tried to go to another it would be like the wife going into Adultry. Going after another man while married. (Us going after a false god when we have the one true God
"...But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband."
This is also us. Because Jesus is apart of the God head..... (Triune God. full in unity. This is just how the bible describes it)
....when he died, the old law became dead to us.
"3 So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress"
If we went to another "god" we would be like this. An adulteress.
"....but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man"
Since Jesus rose again, he became the new husband. And by him we can go into the kingdom under a new law. A law of grace. This is all because Jesus himself is God.
If he wasn't God the law would still be in effect. But since he died, the old law became dead to us. BUT! Since he rose again, we have the opportunity to be under a new law. The law of Grace!
To go back to the old law would be an insult to Jesus. It would be like the woman, now married to the new husband, going back to the cold arms of her dead former husband and cling to him. It's VERY insulting.
Back to tithing. Let's consider Galatians.
In Galatians, Paul confronts Peter for enabling a false gospel. The false gospel of circumcision. If you remember, it was apart of the old covenant. A law given to the jews. As we say in Romans, that law is dead to us.
And it isn't a minor thing either!
Galatians 1
6I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the *grace of Christ*, to a different gospel, 7which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to *pervert[a] the gospel of Christ*. 8But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be [b]*accursed*. 9As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be *accursed*.
To be accursed means to do nothing with. Circumcision was that false gospel because it is again, like a woman clinging to the bones of her dead former husband. It isn't the gospel of Christ. You can't be justified by following the law!
Read Galatians 5 NKJV
1Stand[a] fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a *YOKE AND BONDAGE*. 2Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become *circumcised*, Christ will profit you nothing. 3And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is [b]a debtor to keep the *WHOLE LAW*. 4You have become estranged from Christ, *YOU WHO ATTEMPT TO BE JUSTIFIED BY LAW; YOU HAVE FALLEN FROM GRACE*. 5For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
(Caps just for emphasis)
Notice he said you would be a debtor of the whole law. This same logic would apply to tithing too. It is apart of the old covenant. Not the new covenant. It falls under the same false gospel as circumcision.
Anyone following tithing and circumcision, according to God's word, is to be marked and avoided.
Why? Because it is a perverted false teaching that makes you fall from grace!

But the real truth was that I recognized my sins against against a Holy God . I knew the bad news (conviction) Never heard the good news .

Wonderful grace of God in saving you, James! Praise Jesus!
Amazing! ❤️
I love Ray and what he does. Makes me cry a lot of the time seeing one recognize their sin.
I just wish Ray wouldn’t tell them they must “turn from sin” or “stop sinning” in order to obtain Salvation.
Ray Comfort actually preaches a false gospel of salvation by works.
He preaches that one must "turn from sin (perpetually)" to be saved, which is works.
This type of false gospel causes false conversions, because it tells people they're saved by their works, not by Jesus' payment for our sins on the cross.
@@jedimasterham2 we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus correct

Listening to Ray’s sermons turned me around and pointed me in the right direction. It forced me to examine myself, as the scripture tells us to do, and to make sure I really belonged to God. Praise God for getting me on the straight and narrow. 🙌

I dont know about calling them false teachers, they're are good people who love the Lord in all denominations that have a particular way of theirtheology. Not to say they are wrong but maybe emphasize different aspects of the relationship with Christ, on salvation, justification through faith alone, but the faith should also be practiced through the ability to turn away from sin.
Thank you for this interview. About half-way through, I had to grab my notebook and take some notes! I began with Ray's quote, "We come to Christ not for a better flight, but for a safe landing!"

As a child I grew up in a Hispanic church that used the law of the Lord, but as I assimilated & I had a desire to attend a typical American youth group, where I saw more of the modern evangelism..."accept Christ into your heart, etc..." I essentially became a false convert. It was not until this year that my husband introduced me to Living Waters in that moment everything "Clicked" I realized that small immigrant church, even though I wanted so badly to fit among my peers, had it right all along. Now as a parent I have always questioned what age is appropriate for children to be baptized and this video really hit the nail on the head see 53:11 (oddly enough that church believed a child was 'too innocent" to understand sin & what baptism is). Thank you for covering this topic.
So looking forward to watching this, love Ray and Todd 😊, unfortunately its not loading, although this is a good sign that so many want to hear from Ray 😁❤🇦🇺
i watched him on our local chanels here in kenya a few years ago and i could not believe what an horrible human being i was. After two episodes i thought thunder was going to strike me dead i repented never looked back Christ is my Lord now i thank God for His grace shown to me through what ray does.
That is not the True Gospel of Jesus Christ that's Not salvation that's probation
If it anything like what u just said like adding " "repenting me turning from sins"
THAT'S A LIE FROM HELL.
do you know why Jesus died?
Jesus Christ died for all our sins past present future.
It is not by our own works of turning from sins confessing sins to be saved
It is all about what Jesus Christ did for us all on the cross by shedding His Powerful Innocent Precious Blood for all our sins .
For those who believe in Jesus's Finished Work in His death burial Resurrection as a payment for their sins is saved .
We are all sinners deserving hell forever
We all fall short of The Glory of GOD
We cannot save ourselves from hell forever.
Only by believing in The Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ and what He did we are Saved forever.
Jesus Christ is that perfect Sacrifice for our sins
Jesus Christ came down from Heaven being fully GOD and being born of a virgin birth being fully man.
Jesus Christ lived a Perfect and SINLESS Life He knew no sin.
We are Saved by Grace Alone through Faith Alone in Christ Alone nothing more nothing less.
It is not of ourselves lest any man should boast.
Salvation is a Free GIFT from GOD
We cannot lose Salvation.
Once saved always saved.
So do you believe in what Jesus Christ did on the cross His death burial and Resurrection for the payment of your sins past present future
Or do you believe you have to add something you do for salvation in with THE ALMIGHTY POWERFUL PRECIOUS INNOCENT BLOOD OF JESUS WHICH IS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH?
The Bible says that our works are like Filthy rags like tampons to GOD .

Great man of God.
Are the Amish allowed to use RUclips?
But I agree, Ray Comfort is a great man of God.
Just beware. Ray Comfort preaches a false gospel of salvation by works.
He often tells people they have to "turn from sin" to be saved, which is works. Of course he never explains how much one must "turn from sin" to be saved. A convenient blank.
He's been called out on this for years, and he misleads many people. The problem is, Ray does not understand what "repentance" means, and has taken a variety of verses completely out of context. No doubt he's saved, and we should pray for him, but he should be marked and avoided for preaching a false gospel.
@@jedimasterham2
That’s absolute nonsense. He preaches repentance and trust in Jesus. The mark of a true Genuine Christian.
@@jedimasterham2 to turn from sin isn’t works - it’s repentance, which is what we’re supposed to do.
@@maggie4126 The act of trying to “turn from sin” is a human work according to scripture. In particular, the act of trying not to do something (like refraining from sinning) is doing something.
That’s not what repentance is. Repentance is the 180 degree change in mind from belief in anything other than Jesus to save us, to only Jesus to save us.
Why? Because we can’t say we trust in Jesus to save us if we believe Buddha and Mohammad also save us. That’s not trusting in Jesus. Therefore, the change of mind needs to be Jesus only.
I hope this clarifies “repentance.”
Actually 4 or 3 years ago, Ray had help me. Thanks to him I understand how much God and The Lord Jesus Christ loves me. He help me a lot. He is such a blessing. God used him to reach out to those who seeks the truth. Thank you God, Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you Ray.

What a fabulous conversation to watch! I just love Ray Comfort and I am in so much awe of his faithfulness and steadfastness in evangelizing the Gospel. I watched this from beginning to end. Laughed out loud several times and almost shed a few tears as well. Very convicting to me and I pray that the Lord would use me to be more bold and effective in my sharing of the gospel.
Ray works at finding sin in everyone for his show. That makes him better than they are and attracts followers who do the same thing. Jesus never did that. He forgave everyone.

I gifted my two grown sons and myself with the Living Waters Evidence Bible last Christmas. Ive been watching Ray Comfort for decades. This Bible is well made.
I gave my heart to the Lord on a Monday on the school playground when I was 8 years old. I had heard a sermon the night before and I didn’t want to go to hell. I was brought up in a Christian home…my daddy being a preacher but I don’t remember if it was his sermon or not but I had the fear of the Almighty instilled in me!!!
I am 71 and am still a strong believer although I hosted my own music shows in bars for 25 years but I never forsook my faith but wasn’t living 100% for my Lord. I did a lot of witnessing during those years but felt like a phony singing in bars and pubs. I was just using my talents to help pay the mortgage.
I’ve been out of that for over 15 years now and am doing all I can to witness when I can by leaving Ray Comfort’s tract’s wherever I go. I have terrible knee pain so I’m witnessing on Facebook, posts…like this…on RUclips and leaving gospel tracts. I’m trying to make my God pleased by sharing His Word.
I’ve learned a lot from watching Ray over the last several years. He is truly unique and a man of God!!!
Hi Kathy, God used you as light in places of darkness. You were God's vessel in those bars and pubs. You'll never know how anyone's life might have been touched, because of your presence. All it takes is just one seed to germinate and grow. God took one willing seed, Abraham and made him the father of many nations.
Thanks Ray for everything you do for Jesus
I didn't even need to watch more than a couple of minutes of the video to know who Ray Comfort is . Ray comfort is a sinner saved through God's grace. He is the same guy yesterday today, and tomorrow. Because being born again, God has given him the ability to love his neighbor as himself as the Lord does to every born-again believer, and being a recipient of Ray's kindness off the air, I can truly say he sees others more important then himself, and others needs just as important as his own! (Philippians 2:3-5)
He also repented about sin because he truly believes.
I used to think so. He's a 33rd degree freemason.
@@Midnightcionyde lol doubtful
I watched every minute of this and some parts twice or three times, taking notes along the way. Likely the best video ever produced on Wretched. Thanks Todd (Tom) and Ray (Roy), lol
I enjoyed this so much im going to put it on for my family at dinner tonight. Thank you Todd and Ray
I love to hear Ray share the gospel with those from all different backrounds,he a faithful servant and a very humble brother in the Lord.PTL 🙏🏽✝️💕💯
🗣📖"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise."(Proverbs 11:30).
Love these Brothers in CHRIST!
❤ both Todd, Ray, & Kirk had a big impact on my life thru Talk the Walk ministries on AM 980 KKMS in Minnesota! Thank God for all of you 😊
My two favorite people together, amazing
I can't wait for Ray to get to heaven,and Jesus will say to him "well done my good and faithful son". That will be a beautiful moment. I hope to one day be before my Lord and hear the same .
I love Ray Comfort!!! He's very compassionate and loving. He knows his word also!! He's very truthful in presenting His law first.I watch,Just Witnessing all of the time. It's encouraging to watch it.❤💛💛💛
Yeah, it's to bad he gives a false gospel that does not save a person today.
@@Believe_the_Bible I suggest that you give an example of that instead of a blanket statement.
I agree with Todd Friel, Ray has been the most influential evangelist to reignite the faith! ❤️ him so much!
Todd is a wanka.
This is EXCELLENT! Thank you Todd.
This was fantastic. Two funny, faithful warriors for the Lord. Made my day.
What a wonderful and fulfilling hour and a half I just spent with you two amazing lovers of God and Yeshua/Jesus. May the peace of our lord be with you! Keep up your amazing work for God. The whole world needs you!
Ray’s spiritual gift from the Lord is the ability to relate difficult things to people in a way that shows love, not judgement, truth, not avoiding the hard truths and relate them in a way that shows his love and concern for them. His love for the lost and love for his Saviour comes through every interview.
Super healthy conversation! Thanks Todd! God bless you both.
Hell's best kept secret was life changing not only for the U.S. I'm from Romania!
To know Ray is to love Ray. What an amazing Saint and Servant. I've watched Ray and studied Ray's teachings and was totally blessed to have talked with him on the phone. All he does is for God. His focus is obedience to Christ. Always seeking to help save the lost. My life has been totally changed as I try to follow Ray, who follows Christ. Sharing Sisters In Service loves Mr. Comfort.

Great video!! Thankful for you both❤
Ray Comfort is an honest , caring Christian who has been saving souls for decades now. God bless Ray.
So....I can watch any other hour long video without issue, but this isn't loading at all. I have unlimited data, and I just tested RUclips by clicking into a different documentary. Worked fine. But this won't even play the ads or even start loading.
EDIT: Finally! It played! Awesome interview! We love Wretched and Living Waters, couldn't have a better mashup- and man did those jokes rock! 😂🎉✝️
Same---@wretched
Yes me too!
Same
Same here
Mines working fine
Ray Comfort is a fellow brother in Christ, and he is used mightily by the LORD to lead people to our LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. The LORD bless you richly in your continued witnessing encounters to people from all walks of life. 😊
love you both! May God continue to bless you two godly men
I enjoyed that thoroughly. Thanks.
great interview! thank you for sharing the true full gospel!
I’m so proud of my brother in Christ ❤Ray is wise❤
So very shareable. I wrote one word "Finally!" and put it on my [social media] page. That was lovely. Love to you both.
I listened to almost every Way Of The Master Radio Podcast,
learnt so much from Todd and Ray.
Great memories of Fish with Trish, Tony Verkinnis, Tony the Cop, and Aaron the actor.
I wish you would re-upload the podcasts from back then.
It's on the living waters youtube channel [Ray's channel]
I've been watching Ray's channel for the last couple weeks! Love his channel.
I so love Ray and grateful to God to work with him. Love Todd too.
When I witness to others I use some of Ray's techniques. We stand on the shoulders of greatness. Bless Jesus our Teacher, God bless Ray and Todd, and praise the Lord.
Jesus never had anyone confess their sins to him. He actually forgave them for they "know not what they were doing. "
Thank you for asking about children I am a mother and this is exactly what I would ask Ray.
Enjoyed this, hallejuah, may we hug in Heaven with Jesus our Redeemer, one day God willing ❤ in Christ-like family love. Thank y’all, thank Jesus Christ, God of Abraham!
❤❤❤
Ilove Ray Comfort...Thankful and feel blessed to both of you.😇🙏😇
“Tom…Todd”……😂
I love the work that the Lord does through both of these ministries! Wretched and Living Waters have ministered to me so much I can’t even start to write it all out! I thank and praise God for you both, Todd and Ray!
Ray is an indefatigable follower of Christ, blessed with an inexhaustible gift of Evangelism. Many times I've used his "Good person' narrative because it is profund in its simplicity. Sadly, he lost that sweet puppy a couple months ago. I pray the Lord brings him another partner soon.
Love these two men. True servants of god . Leave the legacy and run the good race until the end .
You both have tremendously helped me with my walk with the lord . Thank you is an understatement ❤
Please, it's God and the Lord, thank you
God bless you Both of you MY Brothers, In Christ. Love y’all! 💯❤️
Excited for this one
You chose a great User Name.
I greatly respect and appreciate Ray Comfort
Ray Comfort is an amazing human being. Unchanged (a good thing), consistent and kind. I've listen to Hells Best Kept secret well over 100 times over the years. Bless this man and all the work that he does.
I love videos like this one where two of my favorite preachers do an interview/have a discussion. I loved the ones where they traveled to other countries together as well. I would love to see more of them. I love it when they are street preaching too. God bless you guys and your ministries.
Convicting, fantastic and edifying. Thank you and God bless.
Fantastic conversation gentlemen I think I may have been a false convert 47 years ago. I came to Christ when that false statement was everywhere Jesus loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. Thats bubble gum evangelism. That quote you showed from Charles Spurgeon now thats the way to start. Ray and Todd Ive watched you guys for a long time , Ray I tried your method to a woman in the mall when I asked her when she dies where will she go she said Heaven I said why she said she was a good person so we took the test together. It was amazing thanks guys Gods continued blessing in your lives.
I shook his hand when he was in christchurch square new zealand..around 1981.
I felt his godly love in that moment..he smiled very warmy..you sensed Christ in him
I watch all of Ray's evangelism videos on RUclips and I've seen most of his short movies. I buy his tracts all the time and give them out. I love that man and his ministry. I wish I could be like him! He shows us what a real Christian looks like. Thank you for this video, Mr. Friel. I love watching your videos too, so this is a double treat for me!
20 years ago wow! God bless both your ministry and your friendship ❤
God bless everyone who’s spreading his word
Ray is mvp!
Great interview with Ray, Todd!! I got to meet Ray at the 2023 Ambassadors' Academy and the Spirit really works through him!
You should go meet Cliffe Knechtle and do an episode on him too. This guy has devoted his time on university campus’
Yes! I Watch Cliffe all the time too
Yes I love the guy, and Ray. Cliffe is great at debating.
Enjoyed this! Thanks to you both for your service to the King
Thank you! That was so good! Encouraging and instructing ! May GOD bless you both! Praying for more Godly men to fall in love with JESUS and have fear of The LORD!!
What a delightful and winsome interview! I had to listen again to catch every delightful insight and example. Like Ray explains in what spurs him on he says in essence, " I want to have the fuel of gratitude inside of me that is the high octane that drives me to do God's will,. Love is such a powerful thing, it's the fountain of everything!" Ray Comfort and Todd Friel are humorous too-very playful! They motivate me to want to get out and be a more faithful witness!
That was wonderfully a blessing and very helpful. ❤️🙏🏼❤️
I looooove Brother Ray! This conversation was so hilarious, refreshing, and edifying. Thank you guys!
One of the godliest men I know! May the Lord bless him and keep him always! We love him dearly!
I love his heart for reaching out to the lost out there on the street, while also producing media (written, audio, and video) presenting the Gospel to whatever audience would read/listen/view those media
He’s a great example
Loved “Way of the Master Radio”. I was hooked. All Rays classic comfort series.
HAD A HARD TIME WAITING FOR THIS INTERVIEW...
Great talk. Thank you for this. God bless you both.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge.
This is an Amazing conversation, listen to them.
Loved it!! ❤🎉
You can see how you two have been friends for years - you are both so funny. Enjoyed this conversation so much! Love Ray's evangelism videos so much - Mario's was one of my favorite. I still cry when I see that young man.
I learnt alot of useful Gospel analogies from Ray! Praise the Lord.
Ray Comfort relies on the Comforter(Holy Spirit)!
Being kind is how we are happy and at peace. Forgiveness takes us there and allows us to take responsibility for our lives instead of blaming other people for our problems. We are all created in the likeness of God. We may not be demonstrating that now but we all have that potential. Seeing that in others lets us see it in ourselves.
This was the sweetest, silliest, most wonderful interview ever! I love Ray and Todd both so much, and to see their wit and humor collide with their love for the lost all in one awesome sit down-it was just pure magic.
Ray is my hero, and I pray every night for him, and his work
Very grateful. Thank you.
@Quint-ib4nf In the eyes of Satan, he is
Ray has helped me see through the worst of all things. When I look at teaching he is on target. There are elders in the Church and he meets the order.
I love Ray’s ❤ and how he loves people so much that he must tell the truth about God’s word and what it means. He does take Gods word seriously. ❤
@Quint-ib4nf where did you come up with that?
@Quint-ib4nf I have no idea what you're talking about. I never heard that, perhaps he was showing compassion to people and hating an act instead of hating people and hating the act. Hating what people do and not hating people is what the Bible commands Christians to do, find this hard myself to do sometimes.
@Quint-ib4nf maybe there's something nobody knows about the situation that Ray does. I don't know. I do know what the Bible says. And Ray says it, so he is cool in my book. I don't really care about his opinion on earthy things when deciding if he has sound theology, a spiritual topic. I've heard him preach in video many times, and it is 99% sound, which is a lot more than almost everyone else.
Ray is an example of what a Christian should be
He's an example of what a Pharisee is
Jesus Christ earthly ministry should be the example " of what a Christian should be"
I mean all The disciples imitated Christ .
Jesus said " man cannot live on bread alone "
Only by The Word of GOD we can get clear instructions on how to live a godly life .
Not trust man and his own ways .
We shouldn't be worshipping man or idolizing man
but we should be Worshipping GOD all the time .
@@HurryHurryOmaha true. ❤️🙏
Reminds me of The Parable of the publican and the pharisee.
@@Jesussaves.7777this is what Ray preaches and reiterates through parables so modern day people who would likely never read a decent amount of, for some, hard to understand scripture translated from an ancient language, to plant a seed so they might eventually be saved. No one is idolizing a man. Were giving props to a good man of God. The next message down is to you as well.
@@HurryHurryOmahaand how is that? How dare he tell people the truth of the gospel that does not contradict scripture.
I'm guessing you think repentance to sin is works?
A work is defined as a physical action. Saying nice things to people, donating to charities, feeding the poor, these are works.
Repentance is a change of mind, the same as the meaning of belief itself; it is not a physical work. It automatically happens to every Christian who is a true believer, it's evidence that you truly believe. A nonrepentant self called Christian is a hypocrite, and I encourage you to google scripture verses about what Jesus and Paul say about hypocrites.
Repentance is the belief that sin is wrong. If you really believe that, you'll try not to sin. If you don't. You do not really believe. Re read the hypocrite statement above.
1 Cor 6:9 isn't kidding...So seek your salvation with fear and trembling, not scoffing someone legitimately not preaching false gospel that this world drinks up like they do their iniquity.
