no no, these conversations are amazing. in 2012 someone came up to a friend (at the time) and i, we were young but very much bitter atheists who resisted all concepts of the bible. he started talking to us about God and Jesus, i couldnt recite any of it. but, my friend walked away from the conversation and even though i resisted every word he was saying i sat and let him talk to me, and pray for me. that memory has always been in my head. and only now, here almost 10 years later am i feeling grateful for that man. to me its like an answered prayer from, maybe my mother or grandma or uncle . im still trying to fully process and grasp Jesus, i dont want JUST blind faith. i want it to make sense. yesterday, a lightbulb went off in my head and im seeing things so much differently. thanks for your videos, you ARE making a difference for these people. even if its 10 years from now and they dont remember your face.
Dead Sea scrolls and Isaiah 53
Ray, I'm so grateful to see challenging encounters like this. My family and many friends are primarily atheists or unbelievers and this is what I dread facing when trying to witness to them. But it gives me hope and courage to see you stick to your guns. Underneath he seemed to be squirming under the light of the commandments and obviously got so uncomfortable he walked away. He was trying to turn it into spiritual warfare, you kept it a truth encounter with calm and poise. I truly admire what you do!
Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18
1 Corinthians 1:18-21 KJVS
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. [19] For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. [20] Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? [21] For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
@@platinumsp00n1 with a death rate of 100%, it's only a matter of time: God knows exactly how much time we have; a proud and haughty millionaire may be just that, until his day is numbered, and he must answer to a righteous, holy, and just God. "blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." Matthew 5:5-6.
"Cursed is he that does not know when to shut his mind. An open mind is all very well in its way, but it ought not to be so open that there is no keeping anything in or out of it. It should be capable of shutting its doors sometimes, or it may be found a little draughty." -- Samuel Butler, 1908
“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel- not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”
Galatians 1:6-10 ESV
@@platinumsp00n1 instead of seeking angels, voices, or signs and wonders, you should be seeking the gospel, my friend - to understand that you fall short, because of your sin - as we all do. Understand that God is a righteous (and just) judge. the wages of sin is death... if we all fall short, we've all committed sin (a lie is a sin, mind you), then we are deserving of the punishment. Think about it, and know in your heart that you, nor is anyone else, is perfect, and therefore righteous, except one: Jesus Christ. He who was sinless was made to be sin, so that we might become the righteousness of God. Jesus paid the price for your sin (death), so that you can have life, and life more abundantly (eternal life), but you have to come to terms with the fact that you are a sinner. a prison guard asked the question that is on your heart: how might i become saved? after an earth shaking realization of the manifest power of God: 'the jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household.”' Acts 16:29-31. Your response to me reveals your heart. Not one word about Jesus Christ, in your testimony. Know that you are a sinner because you fall short of the 10 commandments, understand the wages of sin (death), understand what Jesus did on the cross for you (even when you rejected him, he still died for you - that is grace & truth), know that when you believe in Him you are saved from your sins, and are made alive by the Spirit. May God bless you, and bring you to a place of humility and understanding of the gospel. your eternity is at stake.
Father God soften his heart minister his heart.
By “soften his heart” you mean “make him think like me”
Why on earth would God soften some hearts and harden others?
.. and renew his mind _^
He never says anything different. The person he's talking to says "I don't think there's anything to prove the existence of God and out lack of knowledge of how everything started at the beginning doesn't prove a deity did it" Ray then says " Have you ever told a lie or looked at a girl?"
He (ray) could care less about what people say to him, as long s he gets his lil questions in and then go into his jesus paid the fine for thieving lying fornicators
He tries not to get caught up in rabbit trails.
Brilliant. These are the skills we need to observe in an unbelieving world. Well done, Ray!
That man is exactly the type who need to hear the good news.
@GAniM3 I think everyone needs to hear the good news instead of just a select few.
@@isaacjesus3453 of course! I simply mean that that man was in desperate need for God's mercy.
Lol. Just as we all are.
How so?
People really love to sound so intelligent about this topic. The Word is so simple and TRUE! Thank You Jesus for the sacrifice that was made🙏🏽
- - Lol I knew nothing about Jesus and was in a dark place 5 years ago. 3 Dwi’s addicted to molly weed and drank all the time. That’s only some of what I was involved in and was delivered overnight in a ER about to stroke out so yea I cried out to Jesus in that moment and was delivered overnight and saw clear as day where the power source was really from.
Christopher Arocha where did you get the weed from tho?
True! Amen! 🙏
People aren't trying to be 'so intelligent'. Some people aren't convinced about the claims of Christianity and are honest about it. Shame how you guys like to belittle those who don't share the same beliefs as yourself. You are only human, so do you not think that it's possible that YOU might be mistaken?
Good point
Did you ever consider that he was avoiding that one question because... he hasn't looked at a woman with lust, but he HAS looked at a man with lust - and so he'd be outing himself.
(and then I continued watching, and you asked him if he was a homosexual, Ray. You said what I was thinking)
Patrick became so close minded about Christianity that he didn't realize that Jesus was proven time and time again to be a historical figure by many scollers including Greek. I pray for Patrick that he finds salvation in the blood of Jesus Christ through grace and mercy of his love, amen. Also great work your doing Ray for doing Gods wil and going out to preach the good news, God bless you.
Sure, it could be proven Jesus existed, but you can't prove any of his miracles happened. Why was God's son only brought to one small pocket of the earth, 2,000 years ago?
@Kenntonn Nnnn billions know Allah and Buddha's name too, what's your point?
@@steveng6704 Thats an ignorant statement because his miracles do happen today and casting out of demons. For example when I was 4yrs old in my old church a Hindu lady it just happens was demon possessed, when she opened her mouth the demon spoke through her and her lips weren't moving it said "This women is a superstar" while laughing, yea it strange, everytime we said Jesus she started to get mad. And thats just one experience I had, I had much more.
@@John-pu5kz Eyewitness testimony is unreliable. Everything you described could have still happened, but doesn't prove that woman was possessed by a devil. And you were four years old, your understanding of the world was different than it is now.
@@steveng6704 Thats an ignorant statement to make, I remembered it clear as day she had a son, and it didn't take one day but a couple services afterwards to finally get it out.
I agree Ray there is one thing that I'm trying to change about me is being a Silent Christian as a Christian we don't speak out enough that is why this world is so messed up!
agalaxychild this world is messed regardless but, I do agree we should be more vocal about our faith!
I'm guilty about this too. 🙏
TV series, movies the media have made it undesirable for a Christian voice to be heard. It not cool to talk about Jesus. That's why Christians Fear the name of Christ uttered in public
Please don't be more vocal about your faith, it's arrogant to believe your faith is above other's Faith's.
agree
He is so proud. Let's pray for him.
You're a presumptuous, judgemental hypocritical idiot. But I'll pray for you.
I presume you mean the smug, sanctimonious, self righteous Christian interviewer
@@margaretbarrett7469 , repeat yourself much? 🙄
redelephant alvino If something is worth saying, it is worth repeating
If celebrities have such a great life without God and they feel as if they don't need Him, then why do they get drunk and high as a get away from that life that they love so much.
3:35 "That's a hell of an argument, nicely played'' Well done Ray...I love your videos and study them. I borrow a lot of your reasonable, straight forward rebuttals. "A gentle word turns away wrath" love how you stay calm and composed. If we get upset our heart isn't in the right place! Thanks for your ministry!
Funny how he didn't want to answer the question because of moral implications. Listen to Ravi zachariahs' "the existance of God" to know what I'm talking about. Man doesn't have an inherit sense of morals on his own without God. So here's a guy with a moral conscious denying the one who is the reason he has a conscious in the first place. God help people like this.
God help us all
How do you know man doesn't have an inherit sense of morals on his own without God? How do you know the Bible is true or divine?
@@calebjohnson7976 how can man have it without God?
@@trustchristnotmyselfextran6298 Well, if it's inherit that means it's a biological common occurance in the human species. Whether God exists or not. I don't know if humans have an inherit sense of morals. I also don't know if a God exists. I haven't seen sufficient evidence but I am willing listen and see?
@@calebjohnson7976, I can respect that. I think the evidence for God is better than the evidence against him. But make sure you cross examine atheists' evidence just as much as you do theists' evidence, if not even more. And you'll see what I mean. It takes more faith to believe God doesn't exist than it does to believe in him.
Asking basic questions will help you. For instance, let's say man does have inherit morality. If man wasn't intentionally created with purpose and given morality, how could he just randomly and meaninglessly be born with morality? Why is he born with it if there is no God? What are the chances of that happening?
Wow ray your so calm and patient.he was so arrogant.well done my brother. I hope he finds the lord. 🙏
Arrogance masks insecurity. Keep pressing! :D
Praise Jesus
He won't find him without us, I love U family! Please let me in a stranger, a bigger, can I come to you?
Jesus Jesus Jesus people perish for lack of knowledge he COULDN't answer the question without wisdom. It is a real thing!
Erm its pretty arrogant to think you know what happens when we die.
Ray: “What year is it?”
Atheist: “2018”
Ray: “Since when?” ...Crickets...
Priceless
Bad argument though.
@@notmychannel6425 what about it? Its funny im Christian but i never until last month realized over %99 of the worlds calendar including yours is currently 2019 after Christ died its historically true
@@youngblood7648 actually historical reports put the birth of christ about year 3 b.c. and his death would have been about yr. 30.a.d.
so according to historical records jesus was not born on 0 yr. it's just when the b.c..numbers ran out
@@kaineskeptic6484 history = His Story
And all of it revolves around Jesus.
Nothing you can do to escape it. Its true regardless if you believe it, and I can make the statement because I have truth in my worldview and all you have is what you can currently understand: which is depleting rapidly at a rate of knots regardless of how quickly you try and accumulate knowledge.
If Newton didnt coin gravity you wouldnt believe in it.
If electricity was never harnessed you wouldnt believe in its power today.
You only believe in these things because you can understand them. And this being well after the time when modern scientists coined the terms, who ventured out on limbs to believe and hypothesize things with their faith in God to show them the truth about laws which have been in motion since the foundation of the world.
You're not so intelligent. But you are precious to God.

I trust you will think about these things mr skeptic :)
The gaps of science grow smaller,while the gaps of religion stay the same.
Ray! Could you make a video about praying? I have been Christian for 20 years and sometimes I feel I don't know how to pray for my health and chronic pain I've been having for a year. My parents who are pastors say that I have to declare God promises and give thanks but other pastors say that I have to pray accepting God's will
praying does not do anything. there is no god
@@reahhx810 Im so sorry you believe that. God is real and he loves you. I pray you can experience that someday
I hope you figured out. Just remember there’s no perfect way to pray. Everyone is unique. Only Jesus is perfect. I will pray for you :) god bless you❤️
Also a good place to start is the our father prayer. It is the perfect template. To honor God ask for him to lead us to him. :)
Put faith in tested modern medicine more than prayers. I know everyone's intentions here are good but praying has been shown to have no effect on events. Results are the same as what they would have been with chance. Unless the person knows they're being prayed for, which actually leads to worse results. This is thought to be due to things like performance anxiety
Pray for this man. His pride is blinding him. All his knowledge and no real wisdom. He needs Jesus.
At least he is still young, he still has time.
His conscience is seared and his heart is hardened, but while he's alive there's still hope Rays planted seeds will sprout.
@@jasonhatt4295 being young doesn't mean that there is time..
@@antjemantje104 True, but it's a more hopeful sign than if he was this way at a much older age.
@@jasonhatt4295 Ahh, it's still a miracle only God can perform..
Well done Ray, will pray for him.
Typical Ray Comfort with his questionable editing. Really? Cutting at the end of every question and every answer?
Why not just let the video run, Ray? You're not trying to leave out context, are you?
Interestingly you have obviously watched 'typical' Rays other interviews..you've got to ask yourself why seeing as you dont like or agree with his approach! 😏
The video would probably become too long and lose people's interest. Folks like this guy can run around in circles for a long time. I trust Ray is being honest in his editing as Patrick may well watch it at some point and God is always watching RUclips.
Way to go Ray. God bless you. Lobe interviews like this because it really helps us Christians to prepare for these situations.
Casting your Pearls Before Swine?! I can tell you this that even people like that young man at least need to hear the gospel I was worse than him 27 years ago when I heard it I am now a pastor with a doctorate in theology and I have dedicated the remainder of my life two preaching and teaching God's Word. You were not following him down the street badgering him, you are simply presenting the gospel speaking to his conscience excellent job Ray!
Do you tell your flock about the synoptic problem, Pauline forgeries, interpolations, the longer ending of Mark, no one likely to be at Jesus’s trial or when he prayed alone so someone probably made up what he said, the gospels giving different times of his crucifixion?
Ray, I just met an atheist today. It's my first time to share the gospel with an atheist. I've been waiting for this to happen so that I could finally use your logical illustrations 😂.
She's been proud of heart. She said whether there is, or there's none, she'll never submit to God. I asked her would it interest her if there is a way to avoid death/hell, she said no.
I talked to her for about 30-45mins but in the end she held on to her pride. She said she'll take the gamble even tho I told her she don't need to because there's already a way. I hope she'll change her mind.
Thanks for equipping us for the battle we are currently at. God bless!
Same. I have a college class with one and I'm trying to persuade him to come back. His family is Christian. (7th day Adventists) but he is an atheist. I even got a book recommendation from him. It's a belief in science and evolution and the big bang. I don't even think other planets exist. "the universe" is simply the heavens and Earth and Hell I think. And my mom was wondering/asked me a rhetorical question why don't people want to worship/submit to our ABBA Father Creator of the Heavens and Earth, our El Shaddai, our Great I Am Yahuah, our El Elohim GOD? I instantly thought and said pride.
@@MrBeastjebuz Yeah man, when we really think about it, pride is very evil. A family could be saved from being broken if only both of them apologize genuinely, however, pride prevents them from doing so. Exactly what the proverbs say, "...pride goeth before destruction". I hope pride won't reign forever on your friend's heart and everyone's. May God bless you and your family man.
So he believes in other religions that have been proven false based on no existing historical documentation, but does not believe in historical documentation that does support Christianity; seriously? He definitely loses the battle of logic and critical thinking, although he must think himself intelligent.He loves his religion of Atheism and his sin. Too bad that every Atheist cannot argue the existence of God without borrowing from the Christian Biblical World View in the hopes of proving their position.There is evidence of Jesus Christ and His miracles from Romans who were not Christians, so the claim that Jesus did not exist is already a false claim.
true,Amen.
this interviewer is rude and arrogant. He isn't actually listening to the answers. He's trying to get the answers that he wants. Disgraceful.
just like atheist.
Love your heart, Ray. And your willingness to share God’s Truth so lovingly, for anyone who may hear. Recently, a stranger tapped me on the shoulder and told me she had overheard what I had said about Jesus to another person. She said my words had pierced her heart and she began to cry. It was as if the Lord had whispered to me: You never know who may be watching and listening when you are simply being Mine - sharing my love, joy, peace, truth in the midst of any circumstance, whether it’s on the mountaintop or in the pit beneath the valley floor. He’s using us to love and lead people closer to Him. The ones we are talking to directly, and the ones who may be eavesdropping without our knowledge. Thanks, Ray, for letting us eavesdrop on so many Jesus-filled encounters!
It doesn't matter our opinion, even if it get tiresome, We must tell the Truth of Jesus, Yeshua..Endure till The End👏✊💪🙏☝
Matthew 24:13 is speaking about those who go through the tribulation period, not the church-age saints.
His heart is hardened to the truth. It won't let hope in. I pray that God will lead Patrick to Him so his doors may open, because he clearly isn't seeking salvation.
I'm praying for that guy. God bless you brother Ray! I'm always encouraged by your boldness and zeal!
I hope reconsiders Christ and we meet him in heaven. Thanks Ray, for sharing Christ and for sharing here.
This conversation proves what the bible says about evangelism. I tell everyone that asks about evangelism. You don't have to answer every question you get, because they don't want an answer, they want an excuse and they want to be judge over God. Let the word of God pierce their soul as it did for you.
Thank you, Ray, for faithfully sharing with anyone God has placed in your path and who HE has led you to....and then sharing with us so that we might learn, be encourage, inspired, and equipped. This morning, a waitress saw my Bible and then asked me, "Are you a minister?". I said "No, I just love God's Word." She then went on to randomly ask me "what do we mean when we say, "it is well with my soul." ?" I shared the story of the hymn with her and then the Truth of Ps 61:1-2. Truth clearly penetrated her soul because her eyes made it clear to me. Of course, all True Believers are Ministers, even if we don't wear robes or collars or suits on Sunday. KEEP ENCOURAGING. Like Jeremiah, the weeping Prophet..."But if I say, "I will not mention His Word or speak anymore in His Name," His word is in my heart LIKE A FIRE, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; INDEED, I CANNOT !" Jer 20:9. The Gospel...Preach on.
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
1 Corinthians 1:18-19 KJV
It makes perfect sense Ray! Keep up the good work!
Ray you didn't waste your time. You wasted HIS time.
And we're glad you do it, Ray. You have opened my eyes to the amount of people living in the free world who have not heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. So thank you.
Smart guy, as he said Ray's statements regarding sins only matter if there is in fact a god and Jesus was the son of God.
Is lying always a sin? What if I lie to save my family from a murderer? Does the bible make this distinction? If it is not a sin in that scenario, what is your moral justification? If it is a sin, is that reasonable?
Why is lust a sin? As without sexual desires there would be little motivation to reproduce.
Actually, there is an example of a situation in the Bible where someone did lie to save someone's life and God praises the person in the Hall of Faith in Hebrews
Darryl Dempsey It’s still sin doesn’t matter if your doing to defend your family. Sin is sin simple !
Why dosent he answer Ray's questions?Even if he sees them as "irrelevant" or "illogical", he could just answer.
I guess it's his guilty conscience before God.. And the holding on to his sin.. Man like darkness and sing want their deeds to be made known
He trying to prove a point that its irrelevant but thr interviewer is very stubborn and keeps asking anyway. To even make it worse, he ask if he is homosexual which is even more irrelevant.
He doesn't answer because he challenges the basic premise of the questions.
I coulld say the same. Why can't Ray just respect his rights, and let him believe what he wants? If they are allowed to believe what they want, why shouldn't I? Or the guy in this video?
@@antjemantje104 He is an Atheist- a person who doesn't even believe in the existence of a god. Thus your point doesn't make sense here. If he DID believe in god, it would.

It is literally impossible for a man with a beating heart to not look at least one other woman than his wife, and not have lustful thought's. The same goes for women vice versa. We have preferences, vices, desires, want's, impulses, and it's always up to us to not act irrationally in lieu of these factor's.
False. This statement is flawed and can easily be dismissed. The statement "It is literally impossible for a man with a beating heart to not look at least one other woman than his wife, and not have lustful thought's" assumes a false idea. That blind people don't have hearts.
i'm loving Ray's comeback......
Seed was planted. Brother Ray did his part now it's up to God to open this guy's heart and up to Patrick if he responds to God's call. No time wasted at all.
I love how you edit the video so much! I bet he showed some great arguments against your position but you just edited out
Oscar, I don't know what you believe, but even if this man did edit out some of what the other guy was saying, it wouldn't have changed the Truth. Jesus said in John 8:32, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (KJV) Jesus loves you so very much. God sent Jesus, His only Son, to die for you. Jesus was fully God and fully human, and He gave up His life for you, and He rose from the dead on the their day. He wants a relationship with you, and He loves you. All you got to do is come to Him. Just ask Him to be your Savior, live in your heart, take away your sins. Then you gotta turn from your sins, try to live for Him (God's Holy Spirit will help you), and confess Him with your mouth as Lord and Savior. Then, all your sins will be totally gone, you'll have a Forever Friend and a Forever Home, God's Spirit will live in you, and your sins will be gone forever.

I certainly don't make that claim and most atheists do not make that claim. In fact atheism doesn't make any claims while religions make claims they can't prove, that's the problem.
For those that think it's a waste of time, I have known many people who were atheists and even Satanists before becoming Christians, so it is never pointless to witness to anyone.
Ray: "What year is it?"
Athiest: "2018"
Ray "Since when.. SINCE CHRIST"

Atheist: What day is it?"
Ray: "Saturday"
Atheist: "Named after.. SATURN (Does this prove the god named saturn exists?)"
Atheist: “what day is it?”
Ray: “Monday”
Atheist: “Named after.. MOON (Does this prove that the goddess named moon exists?)”
Me (the third wheel): No.. just shows that the moon exists, just how July was named after a man.. so Monday was named after the moon, doesn’t particularly mean that the moon is a goddess just shows that we know the moon and want to respect it so we made a day in recognition for it just the same for Saturn
You did a great job. When they get up and go, it's because they hear the truth and they don't want to...but God is always working. God willing Patrick eventually answers the door.
I don't understand why people here call this guy an "arrogant proud fool". Sounds like they are trying to put out their frustration on him, they just don't even know how, cuz he happens to be an unbeliever. This is rather an intelligent debate from his side for this reason: he has a fundamental issue with Jesus' existence, thus his replies are understandable. And Ray just kept pushing his questions presuming that nobody really has a problem with the fact mentioned above. NO WONDER the guy got frustrated. It's like as if though Ray doesn't know any other way of evangelizing. Us, Christians are SO incredibly quick to dust off our shoulders after having done an improper and inadequate job and then and put such pitiful tags on guys like this. "Ooh what a wretched sinner, ooh poor prideful thing he was offended by the Gospel, so let me quote Jesus real quick where he talks about this!" No, he wasn't?! He got frustrated by a guy who kept using his template witnessing system on him as well, who just happened to intelligently spot all the failures in the reasons in the questions, and the arguments. Think about it. And YES, by all means pray for the guy. God bless.
Great Job Ray, but’s it’s like Frank Turek says not every one wants to spend eternity with Jesus, apparently this guy doesn’t feel the need or even believes Jesus even existed, so God will do what He wants and not force ANYONE in heaven that doesn’t want to be with him. If they don’t want Jesus now they won’t want Him for an eternity. You did great though Ray ! Great interview! Your amazing man!
Sometimes we got to plant the seeds of faith and God will do the growing.
I am always encouraged by your videos, Ray. I have talked with those who are proud of heart too but my job is to simply share the Law and what God did to free us from the bondage of sin. All we have to do is repent and trust completely in Jesus. The Gospel makes sense :-)
"I don't think it's healthy for people to want there to be a permanent, unalterable, irremovable authority over them. I don't like the idea of a father who never goes away, the idea of a king who cannot be deposed, the idea of a judge who doesn't allow a lawyer or a jury or an appeal. This is an appeal to absolutism. It's the part of ourselves that's not so nice; that wants security, that wants certainty, that wants to be taken care of. For hundreds and hundreds of years, the human struggle for freedom was against the worst kind of dictatorship of all: the theocracy, the one that claims it has God on its side. I believe that totalitarian temptation has to be resisted. What I'm inviting you to do is to consider emancipating yourselves from the idea that you, selfishly, are the sole object of all the wonders of the cosmos and of nature - because that's not a humble idea at all, it's a very arrogant one and there's no evidence for it. And then, again, the second emancipation - to think of yourselves as free citizens who are not enthralled to any supernatural-eternal authority; which you will always find is interpreted for you by other mammals who claim to have access to this authority - that gives them special power over you. Don't allow yourselves to have your lives run like that."
Christopher Hitchens vs. William Dembski, 18/11/2010
Patrick was awesome. Held Ray to his questions and pointing out his misdirection. Guess that's why we only got a snippet of the interview
God BLESS Ray. He is a courageous man in Christ. 📿✌
Ray, your calmness is great!!
My problem is that I get angry. Downright furious to stubborn people like this... I pray everyday for a character similar to yours. Keep up the great work 👍
Wouldn't you say you're just as stubborn?
God bless you Ray, your a true light to the lost. No man maybe good but you're closer than me. Praise Jesus our Lord.
Ray I hope to get the pleasure of meeting you! You are so bold and I hope one day God will give me the ability to witness like you have. You did amazing job with this man!
I would love to work for him. Too bad I can't go to California though.
This is vary interesting, i had an incounter with a man today that absolutely did not want to talk about the Bible, Church, he said i have religion with hatred seething from his eyes, i asked him how was his relationship with God, he said its none of my concern, (when in fact it is, because i dont want him to go to hell), so pray for him, for God to open his eyes to the Gospel, and true faith, hatred normally shows a lack of love, and you will know a tree by its fruit. His name is Mac, please pray for him, its hard for me to love someone like that, so pray for me also if you would, God bless
@@bigair785 that goes along with a lot of lies the world and the devil make up to try to disprove the Bible, but never works on believers that know God's Word is true. Not even on those who actually research the facts about those things. All things were created by God, the God of the Bible, all other religions are false, and all other deity are fake, there is only one God, and that is the Triune God, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, three persons, one Being, one God, and only one way to be saved from the penalty of sin, (the penalty of sin is death and hell) the way to be saved is repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God! I dont hate you, why would i hate someone who is lost, when i myself was lost for so long? God had mercy on me, and because of God's amazing love and grace, He gives us the capasity to love others enough to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them! I dont want to see anyone go to hell, so its my job to tell people the truth of the Word of God, and God will save those who accept the only Way, Truth, and Life, Jesus, the Son of God. Think about this, eternity is never ending, and it will either be Heaven, or hell
"If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town." (Matthew 10:14-15)
The sower casted seeds on all types of ground!!!!
Lord, soften his heart that he will come to repentance that leads to salvation.
It's sad people still argue over if Jesus existed or not I mean come on really
Ray, my goal is to be as knowledgeable as you are when it comes to answering people. Your daily study shows!
Going out and doing it helps a lot ;)
Ryan Hollingsworth the best tip I noticed from watching him that has helped me is not allowing others to get off topic of the gospel and overthrow and overwhelm you with irrelevant questions.
Though we may not want to answer that question... we WILL have to answer it on that day.
1Co 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
Better to face it now than then.
So we have moved from God doesn’t exist to Jesus doesn’t exist??? Why do people deceive themselves. We have historical evidence of Jesus of Nazareth and celebrate his birth all over the world. So sad to see people fall this low. The word of God is a sword. The proof is in the pudding . The truth in God’s word made him very uncomfortable 😣 . He needs our prayers. Glory to God
Just let God educate us with his Holy Spirit. We will be able to refute ANY athiest. No one can hide their belief in sin. It is known to us. We must show them how sin is never going to make them feel better. They need salvation. Real salvation. I remember what is was like when I first turned to the Lord. Tears every single day. The entire universe opened up to me! If only everyone knew how lucky we are to even be alive, let alone, having a God who loves us personally.
How many miracles does it take to turn an athiest into a believer?
Only 1, if the Holy Spirit uses our words to convict them and help them reflect on what they ACTUALLY believe in!
We just need to plant more seeds. God bless!
Glory to the invisible sky wizard!! Eternal torture to the atheists!!
JoshyGoku sinners will perish. That is what the Bible says.
One Step Away there is no afterlife, thats what logic says.
And i was a christian too, not calling you stupid i can see why someone would believe.
JoshyGoku wrong. That is what sinners say. There is a afterlife.
Thank you for sharing this with us!!
Ray i love how you proclaim the gospel and you do not let them get away with not answering the question because they appeal that Jesus didn't exist. I just want to know, do you ever engage into evidence of the resurrection? I guess that can be casting pearls to the swine, but if it is as per Lee Strobel it can be their only stumbling block.
Seems like a guy who’s got his head on straight
Praying that all would come to know the Lord Jesus and His mercy, forgiveness, friendship, lordship, and everlasting love for each and every one of us.
Love your ministry Ray..it has helped me so much
Great stuff as always.
May our risen Lord Jesus Christ Lord Jesus Christ grant him repentance.
Wacerah Chege Grant who repentance? I presume you mean the smug, sanctimonious, self righteous Christian interviewer
@@margaretbarrett7469 you and the interviewee
Wacerah Chege Thanks for the clarification, and may you repent of your pride
@@margaretbarrett7469 "He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord". 1Corinthians 1:31 I guess you're not born again Christian? Right
Wacerah Chege .You guessed right. How perceptive of you!
Apparently ''Looking at a woman with lust" was the catalyst to his contentious behavior. He was already test-y at the beginning, but it really ramped up with that question.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink it is up to him u did your job and that is all that matters what he does with what u gave him the preaching of the gospel is on his shoulders now definitely pray for him for he is blinded but he does now know the truth and his battle has just began
God bless you brother Ray!
Another soul on the broad road to hell.
Connor Lynch I'm sorry to come across like that, but Jesus spoke more about Hell than Heaven. It is a real place and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. If you are a Christian and have truly repented and accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour you have nothing to worry about. I urge you to pray about it and read a few scriptures. May God bless you in the wonderful and powerful name of Jesus.
zambia123 Another smug, sanctimonious, self righteous christian
Pray for him
I absolutely love these videos! They help to encourage me to go out and share. Would it be possible to put out uncut interviews?
Well done Ray as always! I've noticed lately that your bolder and quick to shut down an ignorant and/or arrogant response from an interviewee. I think the Lord is working through you more thoroughly these last days due to this faithless and perverse generation.
Thank you for loving your brother and sharing the great news of our savior. A lot of people are gonna have a rude awakening when they take their last breath. I pray for all sinners lost and undone people in name of Jesus. Plz keep me in your prayers anyone who reads this. I strive for Jesus everyday
Keep up the good work these are the people that need the gospel not ones who already have the faith of Christ
All you can do is pray for him I love listening to you preach brother
Lord Jesus, tonight as I finish watching this video and thinking about your Mercy. Your power, Your love, i pray that you save the man in the video. I don't know where he is, what he is doing, but I do know that without you he is lost. You know him. Please Lord reveal yourself to him in a very amazing personal way. Save his soul, open his heart, change his life, I know he needs you. Just I need you and we all need you. I pray that you open his eyes. Heal his heart, bless him and his family. I pray because you are Love, but also consuming fire. I pray that you lead him to your word so that in it he can find you and surrender. I pray that he comes to you in repentance and begs for your help and forgiveness all I pray in the wonderful and glorious name of Jesus. My Lod and my God. Amen.❤
Pray For The Man 🙏
Vanessa Perales Which one ?
@@margaretbarrett7469 The One Who Ray Is Filming
Someone might pay for your crime, but you are still not free unless you sign and accept the pardon. In other words you ought to accept the pardon by admitting that you are a sinner and repenting.
There is plenty of evidence of the existence of Jesus, including his mentioning in other religions.
The sad thing is that so many people believe all the lies they've been taught in life, but just have no faith in the most important truth they'll ever hear.
"Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed."
@Preston Doggett Sure, you're right, it was actually my mother, who used to take me to church a few times a year, not like every Sunday. As I got older I still believed, but I didn't go to church, didn't pray, didn't know much about the Bible.
So now, by my own choice, I trust in one exclusive way.
My father actually converted to Budism, when we were living in Asia.
I've met people of different nationalities and different religious backgrounds, and I actually got along with them very well.
4:43 He raised a good point. When confronted with this, suddenly it seems the "payment" wasn't very effective.
Jesus Christ: The loser of most, not the savior of all.
I’ve experienced in 29 years that not all cases can be approached with the same 10 commandments format; it won’t work in many cases; instead the Spirit can guide me with each person. For ex. this guy didn’t want to acknowledge his sin, In those cases I tell him my own testimony story, that way I can bring all the gospel to his ears preserving his good attitude.
We need to share the gospel. The Great Commission does not contain any modifiers meaning that we share it equally to all people. Even stiff-necked people like this guy. Pride is an awful sin. It blinds people to the Lord. If anyone believes that Ray should not have engaged him, where is your sense of compassion? Would you want his blood on your hands?
0:44 “too bad” according to what? If you don’t have a moral standard you inevitably arrive at moral relativism: where society determines by mass opinion what is right and wrong. He’s making a judgement of himself based on the opinion of society or worse his own opinion.
Ray you are such a wonderful man of God. Truly blessed.
In agape 🕊
Why can't people just practice their own religious beliefs instead of trying to ram it down other people's throats. Last time I checked all they believe in came out of a book written ions ago. Cavemen once saw lightning and thought it was worth worshipping. They say non believers are close minded and they themselves are close minded, so it goes back and forth forever and ever. Give it a break and believe what you like. If you want to save somebody save yourself and don't worry about others. Leave them the ---- alone
Can't do that people are praying to cows. GOD said we are to be witnesses to the entire world.
What year is it? 😂😂😂👌🏽 I'm stealing that one Ray, I'm proud of you
Ray Comfort and his jumpcuts are back
Ray is such a goober. The "good" person test is so fundamentally flawed. I think the interviewee did a good job picking up on where Ray's questions are irrelevant (non-sequitur)... and further kudos to the interviewee for pointing out out where Ray was Begging the Question (fallacy). The sad thing is, this has been explained to Ray numerous times from numerous people and he still trots this out like a "GOTCHA!" When in reality, it shows that Ray is probably to dense to understand the logic or to dishonest to admit his "Test" is inherently flawed.
We must always. remember that God's Word never goes out void. Whether he realizes it or not, this man's heart has been touched by God's Word.
The decision is now his. He can either allow his conscience to be seared even further or he can repent and trust in the Lord.
