God bless these guys. I've made it 40 years and close to 41 I am a virgin male. That for the better part of my life isn't do Christian abstinence until a few years ago when I became born again. I don't think I understood just how sexually driven my brain is, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to please women in bed, so I kept ladies around my age in life ...at arm's length from me figuratively. I had confidence issues in life, and porn I thought was about as close as I could get to losing my virginity. I began turning from pornography after finding out that I was going to be an uncle to twin girls. I thought that jf I would support my nieces being a part of that industry, I'd better stop watching it myself. Then a few years later in 2019, I surrendered my life to Christ. I have had a legit girlfriend, and though our relationship is no more, my outlook on life has changed. I live for Christ knowing that if I die a virgin, the pleasures of the afterlife are beyond what we can imagine. In the meantime, I'd like to have a wife, but in Christ I have what I need, salvation. I pray that God's goodness extends well to these guys like it has with me.
God bless you brother and peace be with you. In remaining pure in that way especially now for Christ you are treasuring His temple that is your body, and remember what Peter wrote. "Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin. Consequently, he does not live out his remaining time on earth for human passions, but for the will of God. For you have spent enough time in the past carrying out the same desires as the Gentiles: living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and detestable idolatry. Because of this, they consider it strange of you not to plunge with them into the same flood of reckless indiscretion, and they heap abuse on you. But they will have to give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. That is why the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

These precious young men brought tears to my eyes, thank you Ray for loving the lost enough to sacrifice your life in all you do for the kingdom of God.♥️✝️.
I like when Ray says I’m trying to put the Fear of the God in you. The fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom. He is trying to impact wisdom when he witness to these people. 😊
Ohhh Dear Lord, Thank You for Brother Ray Comfort. This video has brought me to tears as I witnessed these two young men: Joseph & Ken. It was clear that both of these two were earnest and had a heart of sadness at the beginning of Ray’s discussion with them. In this day and age, our youth are filled with Existential Angst. Dear brother Ray met them right in their hearts. I sincerely pray for these two young men Joseph & Ken. May each of them be transformed by the renewing of their minds🙏 May each of these two young men become mighty warriors for the cause of Christ Jesus in their generation! This was so beautiful! Thank You Lord. Bless and keep our dear Brother Ray Comfort ❤ I love You Lord Jesus ❤✝️❤️ Always & Forever with tender gratitude, never forgetting how You have saved a wretch like me. 🙏✝️❤️🙋♀️
Touchy touchy touchy. Don't we Christians just dance around the subject of hell. In one of his videos he talks about being found guilty for *I forget the exact phrase he used* but basically negligence *seeing someone in danger and not warning them* A girl at a gas station today was on her last day at work and shared that with me. I wish I would of shared back. Lord please send an angel her way to share what I didn't and convict all of us to seize the moment and not be afraid. Out in the world, workplace, home, even church let us speak BOLDLY the Word of God. Lord please give us sinners the courage and faith. 🙏
Thank you for the reminder at the end. I think it's something I knew but forgot. Or haven't been valuing properly. It's right there in Exodus 20:20 "Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning." Right after reminding them of the 10 commandments.
Thank you for your videos Ray! May God bless you greatly. Through hearing the gospel, I’ve been born again! Now I love what is righteousness and hates. What is sin! Thank you, Lord Jesus, for the beautiful feet of those who carry your gospel!
When God sees He can trust you with little. He also sees someone He can trust with much. Thank you for your faithfulness to the gospel Ray. The message God put in you doesn’t change, in front of one person or in front of a big audience. Praise the LORD
God bless those young men and to all who read this post May you experience the love of Christ Jesus who also saved this wretched man! God bless you Ray and thank you for doing His will.
He knows he has a purpose greater than his current existence. In Jesus name I pray these men are born again and that they seek you as their father and saviour. I pray these men are blessed with your anointment and grace and are filled with your peace, mercy and everlasting love amen 🙏🏼
Oh man there is that lady there onnthe left. She was right there when you shared gospel with these boys then you did hers or before you gave interviews to those boys. I rember you giving interviews to her on one of the videos!
Pornography to me is my largest hurdle on my path to salvation. .I have no wife and no way of finding one.. and days of celibacy i cant fight the urge to view pornography and i hate myself afterwards as i know i chose my urges over God. But i always then seek forgivness but i know that eventually i will do it again.
You aren't alone, I've been addicted since I was 11 and I'm 25 now. It's been a curse. I have faith Jesus will save us eventually though. I like to think that we were chosen to maintain our faith despite our weaknesses, we can use our understanding of the truth to bring other addicts to Christ. Salvation is a walk not a race and we aren't completely saved until we receive a new body made by God.
@@rogerandjoan4329 Why would he do that? You need to repent NOW not wait until Ray dies - that's like murder - I want Ray to die so I benefit? Worse comment I've read today!
It’s very difficult when you’re young to stay away from lust of the flesh. I would say it’s shoved in your face. I pray God these young men truly draw closer to a life lived like Jesus. Plenty of love. Not to be confused with lust. 🙏
I see these young men thinking but sometimes once they walk away, fall back into their lives, see their girlfriends, etc, What they need is to see hell for just 5 seconds. I bet that would most definitely work, but chances are that won't happen.
My brother Ray, I cannot begin to say how right you are about our "personal miracle." I knew all about God and Jesus' death and resurrection. But, of course, knowing about and even believing in God and Christ's sacrifice are not the same as being born again. Subsequently, I lived much of my life with ME as my god. I lived in such sin, and hurt so many people. One day, seeing all the "bad" things happening in the world, I cried out in anger at God. I said, "God, where are you?!" And, audibly or in my spirit, He answered, "I am here. Where are you?" Instantly, I fell to my knees in tears. The God who created me, and was known to me, I had rejected. But He had graciously remained there, ready for me to finally repent and accept Him. Boom! I was DONE! Since that day, my desires have changed 100%. There are plenty of consequences (still) for the life I had lived prior, but thank God for His mercy with me! Today, like all genuine believers, I long (hunger and thirst!) for righteousness. This change alone is all the "proof" I would ever need, but such proof is literally everywhere you look. It is painfully clear when you are born again that this world is not your home. With many family and friends who are unsaved, I am torn between begging for God's delay of judgment and longing for the rapture to happen TODAY. And yet, I am SO excited to think of seeing my savior, face to face. (Though I know I will literally not be able to stand in His presence!)
Dear Ray Comfort, I love your preaching the gospel: repent and believe. Absolutely, I hate it when people leave out the repentance part - repentance is essential. But the Bible doesn’t say “repent COMPLETELY” “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously, and in a godly manner in the present age,” Titus 2:11-12 How and why would God need to teach us to deny ungodliness if we had already repented COMPLETELY ??? People do not have to clean themselves up before they believe in Jesus. Aren’t you scared of being even a little bit like the lawyers Jesus criticized in Luke 11: “But He said, “Woe to you lawyers as well! For you load people with burdens that are hard to bear,” Luke 11:46 “Woe to you lawyers! … you hindered those who were entering.”” Luke 11:52 Nobody can repent COMPLETELY. That’s impossible (David and Paul couldn’t do it), so you are setting people up for failure. God bless you!
@thetruthofchristalwaysprev1269 Hi there. May God bless you abundantly. Please read my comment again carefully. You are accusing me of saying something I didn’t say. Of course repentance is essential. I said that in my comment. But there is a difference between “repent” and “repent COMPLETELY”. Ray Comfort has even in the past made videos where he explains that what he means is to: stop sinning and never do it again. Which is more like what Mormons teach as repentance in their Doctrines. I do believe Jesus can set people completely free from sin. But people don’t have to stop sinning COMPLETELY and be perfect before they believe in Jesus.
If the Holy Spirit is indwelling in us then He will be convicting us and we will be continually repenting of sin EVERY DAY until we die, right? Even our thought life. but that repentance does not "save" us it's just proof that we are saved, right? The war of the Holy Spirit and the flesh doesn't end until we die. Finally, we will then be released from this body of death.
@thetruthofchristalwaysprev1269 Hello again, It’s good to talk with you. Please be patient with me. I will try to explain why I think I’m not splitting hairs. Actually, from what you say, I think you actually agree with me, which means I think you also disagree with Ray Comfort. You mean: COMPLETELY mean it when you repent BUT Ray Comfort means: COMPLETELY stop all sinning and not sin again I have 2 ways to explain, a short way and a long way. First, the short way: I recommend a video called ‘Don’t expect a perfect repentance Paul Washer’. Ok, now the longer way: I love Ray Comfort and usually agree with 99% of what he says. 99% of the time he preaches: repent and believe. Which is great. But sometimes he goes further, like in today’s video where he said “repent COMPLETELY” a few times. In another Ray Comfort video called ‘Steve Harvey’s shocking words on Christianity’ Ray Comfort explains what he thinks. At about 3 minutes 15 seconds into this video, Ray Comfort says: “If you can’t stop cussing, forn--ing, blaspheming, stealing, lying - then you’re NOT a new creature.” I can’t see the difference between that and saying: “If you can’t completely stop all sin in your life and become sinless from now on - then you are not a born again Christian and you are not saved.” I don’t think this is Biblical, and I think it’s very dangerous. He could seriously be discouraging some Christians who are struggling with sin. I recommend another video ‘Ongoing Sin? Never give up Paul Washer’ In Romans 7:15-25 the Apostle Paul complains that he continues sinning even though he doesn’t want to sin. If Ray Comfort is right then that would mean that Paul the apostle was not a new creature/Christian. I respectfully, humbly, gently, lovingly say: Ray Comfort sometimes goes too far. 1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” Why would we need to confess our sins if Ray Comfort is correct and we can stop all sinning? God bless you. I hope I haven’t come across too brashly, but I was troubled by this, and hoped I could share my thoughts with you.
7:40 Ray says repentance is what you don't do but Acts 26 v20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
Ray I have a ? On the marriage law. If I have gone in my relationship fornicating but with intentions that it would be my forever relationship we blended a family with children on both sides and even had our own child and been together now for going on 15 years.....but we never went to a court house and paid for it cause we struggled pay check to pay check etc. But would that still be fornication? And the reason I ask is cause way back in the day they didn't have a courthouse to go get married. Sex was only designed for a married couple and if we believe we're married at heart. Would I still be sinning because I didn't go get a marriage certificate? 🤔 thank you so much it's been weighing on my heart what God thinks of this thought! ❤ 🙏
Its still fortification, because it happened outside of the confines of marriage. Even if you have reasons for what you did, it still is a sin. God bless 🙏🏻
Guy's our souls will Never die we will live on for Eternity .. Where we spend the rest of Eternity is up to us ( HEAVEN OR HELL ) ? It's up to you .. Please hurry Repent and Trust in ❤JESUS in his Holy name i pray 🙏Amen. 😗💋😘💞💖😍🇺🇸🙏😇👍
How do we fall in love and get married if we don't lust for one another? Be fruitful and multiply but don't lust after anyone? This confuses me. I understand adultery as not cheating on the person you're with. Not being attracted to them sexually isn't how to be fruitful or multiply.. Help me with this, please.
This may help. Love is more than lust. The attraction one has due to physical beauty will inevitably fade with age. Your desire for another person needs to be beyond the bedroom. If you look at someone and can only think, “I want to get in bed with this person” then that’s probably lust. However, if you think “I want to be by this person’s side. I want to become a better person with them. I want to make a surprise breakfast just because I care about this person” then that’s love. Lust is about pleasure of the self. Love is seeking pleasure for the other. If you need more verses, I think this one is all encompassing: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” I Corinthians 13:4-8
@@Middlemouse Thank you. So, If I see a beautiful woman, and think about sex with her. But then my next thoughts are wondering if she'd be a good woman and if we would be a good match and approach her, that's not lust?? Because I thought more than sex and wanted a relationship too, that's not lustful?? As a man, it's VERY difficult to look at a female and NOT think of sex. I've done it to 89 year old women! I instantly come back to reality, but the thought is there for a microsecond.
@@KrazyIndeed That’s still lust. “But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” Matthew 5: 27-28 It’s not uncommon for thoughts you don’t like to pop up for microseconds. Even so, we can’t approve of them. Give those thoughts to Jesus when you have them. Let Jesus be your strength and pray for Him to overcome your thoughts. I suffered from a similar thing and couldn’t stop. However, I kept trying to justify myself or stop myself with my own strength. Didn’t work. One day, I got so sick of it that I begged Jesus to earnestly take it away. Haven’t had a problem since. Does that mean that thoughts don’t appear? No, but it does mean that I can give them to Jesus and have Him be my strength.
Hello Ray, Hello living waters team. I have an observation please, concerning God's wrath. I do think according to scriptures, God has no wrath because James 1 vs 5 makes us to understand that God is light and in him no darkness. Jesus rebuked his disciples also when they suggested that he should reign down fire like the prophets and he answered and said, Don't you know the Spirit you are of? Meaning the Spirit of God does not command wrath. The Wages of Sin is death, not the wages of God. Rom 6 vs 23. Sin is enough to pay man, but the gift of God is eternal life. God is not paying man, sin is. And also, John 3 vs 18 makes us to understand that man is already in condemnation before he believes the gospel, which makes Rom 6 vs 23 make a lot of sense, Sin is paying man his wages, not God. Thank you, I do think we need to be more cautious on appropriating some certain things to God. Thanks and God bless. I love you and the Ministry.
The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Hebrews 9:13-17
No God should ever be feared, period. If you fear a God then you have to consider what you're actually worshipping, I would never give it the time of day. But first you'd need to demonstrate your God exists before that can even be considered. People say to me, oh but you're going to hell and isay to them, well, I simply don't believe in God's or devils that is the figment of your imagination.
Is Yeshua the Son or the Father? "Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God." - John 20:17 Hebrews 10:5 says "Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:" (Yeshua speaking to the Father)
Jesus is not the Father nor the Holy Spirit. The Father is not Jesus nor the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not the Father nor Jesus. Yet all 3 are perfectly and equally one God. John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” John 8:58 “Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.’”
Your wrong about what repentance is, but everything else is spot on. Keep fighting the good fight.... But switch to the true word of God in the KJV and do a thorough bible study on repentance.
God bless these guys. I've made it 40 years and close to 41 I am a virgin male. That for the better part of my life isn't do Christian abstinence until a few years ago when I became born again.

I began turning from pornography after finding out that I was going to be an uncle to twin girls. I thought that jf I would support my nieces being a part of that industry, I'd better stop watching it myself.

Dear Ray Comfort,

But the Bible doesn’t say “repent COMPLETELY”
“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously, and in a godly manner in the present age,”
Titus 2:11-12
How and why would God need to teach us to deny ungodliness if we had already repented COMPLETELY ???
People do not have to clean themselves up before they believe in Jesus.
Aren’t you scared of being even a little bit like the lawyers Jesus criticized in Luke 11:
“But He said, “Woe to you lawyers as well! For you load people with burdens that are hard to bear,”
Luke 11:46
“Woe to you lawyers! … you hindered those who were entering.””
Luke 11:52
Nobody can repent COMPLETELY. That’s impossible (David and Paul couldn’t do it), so you are setting people up for failure.
God bless you!
@thetruthofchristalwaysprev1269 Hi there.
May God bless you abundantly.
Please read my comment again carefully.
You are accusing me of saying something I didn’t say.
Of course repentance is essential.
I said that in my comment.
But there is a difference between “repent” and “repent COMPLETELY”.
Ray Comfort has even in the past made videos where he explains that what he means is to: stop sinning and never do it again. Which is more like what Mormons teach as repentance in their Doctrines.
I do believe Jesus can set people completely free from sin.
But people don’t have to stop sinning COMPLETELY and be perfect before they believe in Jesus.
If the Holy Spirit is indwelling in us then He will be convicting us and we will be continually repenting of sin EVERY DAY until we die, right?
Even our thought life.
but that repentance does not "save" us it's just proof that we are saved, right?
The war of the Holy Spirit and the flesh doesn't end until we die.
Finally, we will then be released from this body of death.
@thetruthofchristalwaysprev1269 Hello again,
It’s good to talk with you.
Please be patient with me.
I will try to explain why I think I’m not splitting hairs.
Actually, from what you say, I think you actually agree with me, which means I think you also disagree with Ray Comfort.
You mean: COMPLETELY mean it when you repent
BUT
Ray Comfort means: COMPLETELY stop all sinning and not sin again
I have 2 ways to explain, a short way and a long way.
First, the short way:
I recommend a video called ‘Don’t expect a perfect repentance Paul Washer’.
Ok, now the longer way:
I love Ray Comfort and usually agree with 99% of what he says.
99% of the time he preaches: repent and believe. Which is great.
But sometimes he goes further, like in today’s video where he said “repent COMPLETELY” a few times.
In another Ray Comfort video called ‘Steve Harvey’s shocking words on Christianity’ Ray Comfort explains what he thinks.
At about 3 minutes 15 seconds into this video, Ray Comfort says:
“If you can’t stop cussing, forn--ing, blaspheming, stealing, lying - then you’re NOT a new creature.”
I can’t see the difference between that and saying:
“If you can’t completely stop all sin in your life and become sinless from now on - then you are not a born again Christian and you are not saved.”
I don’t think this is Biblical, and I think it’s very dangerous.
He could seriously be discouraging some Christians who are struggling with sin.
I recommend another video ‘Ongoing Sin? Never give up Paul Washer’
In Romans 7:15-25 the Apostle Paul complains that he continues sinning even though he doesn’t want to sin.
If Ray Comfort is right then that would mean that Paul the apostle was not a new creature/Christian.
I respectfully, humbly, gently, lovingly say: Ray Comfort sometimes goes too far.
1 John 1:9
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
Why would we need to confess our sins if Ray Comfort is correct and we can stop all sinning?
God bless you.
I hope I haven’t come across too brashly, but I was troubled by this, and hoped I could share my thoughts with you.
@@AdamJoseph1352 please point me to a good sermon or Bible teaching on the Holy Spirit.
Amen!
Thank you so much 🙌🙏
🙏🙏🙏
7:40 Ray says repentance is what you don't do but
Acts 26 v20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and
throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they
should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
You know what? God is watching us
4:30 it is written in Romans 2 :15 not 14, but yeah 14 gives context to the following verse.
Amen
Wish to listen to your sermons

How can I watch "Without this, you may end up in hell?"
Ray I have a ? On the marriage law. If I have gone in my relationship fornicating but with intentions that it would be my forever relationship we blended a family with children on both sides and even had our own child and been together now for going on 15 years.....but we never went to a court house and paid for it cause we struggled pay check to pay check etc. But would that still be fornication? And the reason I ask is cause way back in the day they didn't have a courthouse to go get married. Sex was only designed for a married couple and if we believe we're married at heart. Would I still be sinning because I didn't go get a marriage certificate? 🤔 thank you so much it's been weighing on my heart what God thinks of this thought! ❤ 🙏
Its still fortification, because it happened outside of the confines of marriage. Even if you have reasons for what you did, it still is a sin.
God bless 🙏🏻
@@IramCoercere agreed. The good news is if you stop now and repent and trust in Jesus to save you, you won’t go to hell for that.
Guy's our souls will Never die we will live on for Eternity .. Where we spend the rest of Eternity is up to us ( HEAVEN OR HELL ) ? It's up to you .. Please hurry Repent and Trust in ❤JESUS in his Holy name i pray 🙏Amen. 😗💋😘💞💖😍🇺🇸🙏😇👍
How do we fall in love and get married if we don't lust for one another? Be fruitful and multiply but don't lust after anyone? This confuses me. I understand adultery as not cheating on the person you're with. Not being attracted to them sexually isn't how to be fruitful or multiply.. Help me with this, please.
This may help. Love is more than lust. The attraction one has due to physical beauty will inevitably fade with age. Your desire for another person needs to be beyond the bedroom. If you look at someone and can only think, “I want to get in bed with this person” then that’s probably lust. However, if you think “I want to be by this person’s side. I want to become a better person with them. I want to make a surprise breakfast just because I care about this person” then that’s love. Lust is about pleasure of the self. Love is seeking pleasure for the other.
If you need more verses, I think this one is all encompassing:
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” I Corinthians 13:4-8
@@Middlemouse Thank you. So, If I see a beautiful woman, and think about sex with her. But then my next thoughts are wondering if she'd be a good woman and if we would be a good match and approach her, that's not lust?? Because I thought more than sex and wanted a relationship too, that's not lustful?? As a man, it's VERY difficult to look at a female and NOT think of sex. I've done it to 89 year old women! I instantly come back to reality, but the thought is there for a microsecond.
@@KrazyIndeed
That’s still lust. “But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” Matthew 5: 27-28
It’s not uncommon for thoughts you don’t like to pop up for microseconds. Even so, we can’t approve of them. Give those thoughts to Jesus when you have them. Let Jesus be your strength and pray for Him to overcome your thoughts. I suffered from a similar thing and couldn’t stop. However, I kept trying to justify myself or stop myself with my own strength. Didn’t work. One day, I got so sick of it that I begged Jesus to earnestly take it away. Haven’t had a problem since. Does that mean that thoughts don’t appear? No, but it does mean that I can give them to Jesus and have Him be my strength.
Flee from the devil !
Hello Ray, Hello living waters team.
I have an observation please, concerning God's wrath. I do think according to scriptures, God has no wrath because James 1 vs 5 makes us to understand that God is light and in him no darkness. Jesus rebuked his disciples also when they suggested that he should reign down fire like the prophets and he answered and said, Don't you know the Spirit you are of? Meaning the Spirit of God does not command wrath.
The Wages of Sin is death, not the wages of God. Rom 6 vs 23.
Sin is enough to pay man, but the gift of God is eternal life. God is not paying man, sin is. And also, John 3 vs 18 makes us to understand that man is already in condemnation before he believes the gospel, which makes Rom 6 vs 23 make a lot of sense, Sin is paying man his wages, not God.
Thank you, I do think we need to be more cautious on appropriating some certain things to God.
Thanks and God bless.
I love you and the Ministry.
Did you read the whole NT? Did you finish John 3?
The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Hebrews 9:13-17
No God should ever be feared, period. If you fear a God then you have to consider what you're actually worshipping, I would never give it the time of day. But first you'd need to demonstrate your God exists before that can even be considered. People say to me, oh but you're going to hell and isay to them, well, I simply don't believe in God's or devils that is the figment of your imagination.
@@thurmansmithjr3149 I'm a good person and I despise evil things. You're just plain wrong.
Is Yeshua the Son or the Father?
"Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God."
- John 20:17
Hebrews 10:5 says "Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:" (Yeshua speaking to the Father)
"JESUS is GOD manifest in flesh"
(John 1:1'14)

Jesus is not the Father nor the Holy Spirit. The Father is not Jesus nor the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not the Father nor Jesus. Yet all 3 are perfectly and equally one God.
John 1:1
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”
John 8:58
“Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.’”
Your wrong about what repentance is, but everything else is spot on. Keep fighting the good fight.... But switch to the true word of God in the KJV and do a thorough bible study on repentance.
