That's awesome brother. May God bless you and do a great work through you. And may he open the ears of those too hear your words. It takes courage to do that, but it's what the bible calls us to do. Amen 🙏🏽
Wow.. Amen. That's amazing. I pray God gives you courage and strength even if all you can do is plant a few seeds. Which is all we can do bc it's God who gives the increase.

When Ray says the bible is the best selling book of all time, he leaves out the fact that the bible that eclipses all other bible with more than 6 billion copies made is the KJV. Let's encourage Ray to use the real bible, the KJV is God's perfect inspired words.
@@edbrackeen5979 Why didn't god make his first Bible the perfectly inspired words of his. Why didn't he inspire the first Bible writers to get it right the first time. Oh by the way the Koran has sold billions of copies. Why doesn't Jesus smite the Muslim believers for believing in a false god?
@@edbrackeen5979The KJV isn’t the perfect translation; it has its faults. However, it’s a lovely one and is the one he uses. If he’s not using KJV, he uses NKJV. Most Bible translations are fine except the NIV and The Message.
@@edbrackeen5979 your response has nothing to do with what this commenter said. If you like the kjv that's great. But it has its faults. Please don't spread that kjvo propaganda. NIV is not my favorite but it's better than no bible. The message, stay away from it. The NLT, ESV, NASB, AMP, KJV, and NKJV are all good ones. I use them all. But not one are perfect. If you want the original you better learn paleo-Hebrew and Kione Greek and then read the original manuscripts. Except even those are copies of copies. We need to focus on the main summary of what the bible teaches, and not the details of every word, but we don't have the details of every word. If the kjv was the only true word of God then anyone who speaks a language other than English wouldn't be able to get the word of God. Then that would nullify the entire bible itself. It's all about the message of the gospel. Spread the good news. Do it in love, and let your example be a beacon of light to others.
@RaySanders-vp2ql Okay third grade. Your life is empty except for the anger that consumes you when confronted by objective moral authority expressed by the truth of The Gospel. May the scales fall from your eyes.
No b/c he lies too much. Jesus said, "I have come for the lost house of the sheep of Israel." So Jesus does not care about the gentiles, but Ray preaches the lie of universal salvation.
@@theblindgod666 youre so miserable that you spend all your time on the internet irritating complete strangers who are generally well adjusted and forget about you almost instantly while you’re left feeling empty and worthless over and over again. You’re like one of those girls who is addicted to an abusive boyfriend, always walking around crying and with a black eye but irrationally going back for more again and again. I find your life tragic because you will certainly face never ending agony where time does not exist and there will be no rest, unless you decide that you are not totally worthless and come to believe God loves you and wants to reconcile you to Him. As hard as you try, you can’t make Christians hate you, we just pray harder for you who are lost.
I wanted to tell you. You are like Christ I see him in you. I have been growing in Christ because of you. I'm not perfect yet but Jesus is working in and through me. I have a greater desire to live a life that is pleasing unto him. Praise Jesus!
Every christian should be trying to behave like Christ did & does to others, so it's nice you can now notice righteousness because of God in someone else. :) You, him, and everyone new and old should stick close to Jesus and what he said, and despite Nobody being perfect(or even great compared to Jesus at least) you'll see the good, wise nature is something from God to all of us. Thank God. ^^

Should we expect God to know what the Ten Commandments are? Which was Jesus's sixth commandment? (Notice that Jesus lists only the secular commandments that make no mention of God): 1. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (Matthew 19:17-19) 2. Honor thy father and mother: Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honor thy father and mother. (Mark 10:19) 3. There was no sixth. Jesus listed only five commandments: Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother. (Luke 18:20)
Which is true? According to the Bible, Joseph has two male parents (Heli and Jacob). Who was Joseph's father? From which of David's sons was Jesus descended, Solomon or Nathan? Solomon? Matthew 1:6-16 "David the king begat Solomon ... and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ." Or Nathan? Luke 3:23-31 "And Jesus ... so it was thought the son of Joseph, who was the son of Heli ... who was the son of Nathan, who was the son of David."
The Bible is the biggest selling book of all time, however I believe its the least read. We need to start studying our BOOK. God Bless you Mr Comfort. Keep speaking!
@@MacsRemmacs-f2r Do you really believe someone could publish a book full of false claims, and it would sell at all? Maybe for a time, but certainly not for hundreds of years. The Bible is truly a fascinating, mysterious book, full of incredible wisdom way ahead of it's time, prophesies fulfilled (some are admittedly vague, but several in unbelievable detail), by many different authors who, despite most not knowing each other, created this cohesive body of text that fits together perfectly. It holds the keys to life, God, salvation. That is why it's so popular.
Atheist use a lot of these as arguments for the Bible being wrong or proof that God doesn’t exist. But once we are educated and armed with these apologetics and more we are prepared to defend our faith!
Yes. That is why we are told to be always prepared to give an answer to anyone that asks us for the reason of the hope that is in us. We have faith in God through Jesus Christ, yet still, it is important to know why we believe what we believe.
@ is that your only reason for being an unbeliever? If so you’re ignorant to the fact that the Pharisees payed for the field where he hung himself to follow through with his plans. He made the real estate transaction and the priests took the blood money and completed the purchase of the field. Most of your supposed contradictions are merely different accounts of the same incidents. Praying for you. 🙏😇

Amen, the Lord will save them for sure. God is not willing for ANY to perish but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:8. Paraphrasing 1 John 5:14-15. If we ask anything according to His will He hears us. If we know that He hears us, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. These 2 Bible verses give me such great hope that many of my loved ones, friends, and others as I pray for their salvation the Lord will save them, because God is not willing for ANY to perish, since God is not willing for ANY to perish, he will hear my prayers for the souls I am praying for, because I am praying according to His will and He promises we will have what we prayed for from Him, when we pray according to His will. What a great promise. And what a great motivation to pray for salvation of others. God is so awesome. Keep praying my dear sister in Christ. Amen.

Have hope in God, they are hearing the word of God. God promises His word will not return to Him void, but it will accomplish what He sent it forth to accomplish. Isaiah 55:11. Salvation is of the Lord through His word, not human will. John 1:13.
This was me. But when I finally surrendered to Jesus and accepted Him as my Lord and Savior, I find myself now lamenting the flesh. Paul's frustrations about wanting what he wants to do, he does not do. And that he hates, he does.
Ray, if I could ask, please always show your moment of prayer when you ask if you can pray for these wonderful people at the end of their interview. I love to pray along with you. Usually, with my hands up and a face full of tears seeing when they want to accept Jesus and turn from their sins... God bless you, Ray. And thank you for the wonderful work you do. All glory be to Jesus Christ our King.

Ray, I am a relatively new follower of Jesus Christ, subsequent to a radical supernatural experience with calling on him to enter my life and the freedom, peace and serenity that washed over my life as a result. I have found many channels and pastors that make me feel safe and cozy. Your channel has not made me feel so safe and cozy, rather, it pushes me to strive for more in my relationship with God and foster my hunger for His word and guidance. You aren’t all fire and brimstone, but you capture the same gravity in your tone. Thank you for being a counterbalance to a world seemingly filled with ideas that paint a deceptively easy picture of salvation.
I’m so thankful for the amazing quality of content y’all create. It may just be me but the music at the beginning was distracting from the great message. My adhd brain was trying to focus😂😂👍 keep up the great work! God bless you and all the workers behind the scenes!
Ray, I see that your video about the LA fires 🔥 reached 4.5 MILLION views! Praise God! May the Holy Spirit work in our lives as we seek the salvation of the lost as we obey the Saviour! Amen!
What seem to be contradictions in the Bible often stem from misunderstandings of context, culture, language, or genre. so contradictions can be explained through context, translation nuances, or differing perspectives of the writers.
Thanks Ray for pointing these out and explaining! The variances or details the disciples focused on in their gospel accounts actually prove that its trustworthy because it would be very suspicious if their writings were the exact same. Usually lies are rehearsed but when you ask a group of friends to tell you about something they experienced they often will share and highlight different details about the same event :) thank you Ray for all you do!
Three reasons why people think that the Bible has contradictions. 1. They do not understand it. 2. Bad translations. 3. They are reading the extra books that are in the Catholic and Orthodox Bibles (which contradict the rest of the Bible).
@@DES2nd9512 I'll quote Frank Turek here. "If I was a pianist and I do a very bad job playing a Beethoven song, who are you going to blame, me or Beethoven?" You don't say Jesus or Christianity isn't true because a person does a bad job being Christ-like. None of us do a good job at being like Christ. And you don't have to refer to the pope for that either, just read the bible. There are plenty of stories of people following Jesus who failed miserably. "We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" I urge you to read the bible and pray about it, and I say that with the utmost respect and love. And this is an imperfect sinner telling you that, not someone who is self righteous. I am so glad we have a savior, and that he chose to save us when none of us deserve it. That is what Grace is. Amen
Great stuff Ray!! Although, I have 1 thing that I believe is slightly off: In Genesis 1 it explains the order (or overview as you put it) of how God created everything. In Genesis 2, it explains how He created things specifically in the Garden of Eden. Regardless, great job once again, love your videos! 😊
Ray, I have learned many very helpful evangelistic tactics from watching your videos. Thank you. I am an American evangelist, bible teacher in the Philippines and work with a former Chinese missionary, who got married to her husband, who is an American born Filipino called to be a missionary in the Philippines. I don't read Chinese but she said they have a faithful translation and btw, Chinese are taught English and she brought many KJV bibles into China while she was there. What version of the Bible did God use for your salvation? God proved to me the KJV is His word and changed my life with it 40 years ago. Please pray and ask God if he has given us his inspired, perfect, complete words in a book as he promised he would and ask God to prove it to you. No one that uses modern versions can declare they have God's words because they are constantly revising them and looking up Greek and Hebrew for a better translation and clarification. If we have God's word, it doesn't need clarification, we need to read, study, follow and proclaim it as commanded. God will give those (Chinese...) of other languages that are truly seeking him his words in their language if they need it, but English and the English empire ruled the world in the 1600's and is still the most used language for international trade. God knows best and has given us his inspired, perfect, complete words in a book as he promised he would. The KJV AV. All of the modern English perVersions have been corrupted by vatican influence. They have left out 40 plus thousand words and changed core doctrines, make God out to be a liar and omitted many whole verses and even place 1/3 of the chapter in Mark 16 in doubt. There are too many proofs for the KJV to write here, but here is a stark example of the corruptions: Mark 16:9-20 if we are to believe the corrupted vaticanus and siniaticus of the vatican, which puts a line of doubt regarding these verses, there would be no Christ ascension in any of the 4 gospels and Mark would be left with only 666 verses. I know that there are plenty of scholars that, have letters by their names, that say we must go to the original languages, but remember Jesus and 11 of his disciples had no seminary education and God has set the foolish things to confound the wise. Hebrew and Koine Greek were dead languages for more than a thousand years. The only cure for a seminary degree is the KJV. I am not a debater, just a bondslave of Jesus my LORD, God, Father and Saviour and hope you will be blessed in His Spirit. May God bless and lead you as you prayerfully make request. P.S. I am preparing to start doing bible teaching videos and video evangelism here in my Philippines mission field. Filipinos love social media. Again, thank you for what you have taught me.
Regarding #1: I believe we see this all the time in legal testimony and other sources too. Someone may give an 'overview' of a situation, then go into more detail regarding something they already described in their precis. There's nothing contradictory there. ---- Regarding #2: This one is a little bit more understandable if you only look at the surface level, considering that 'nissah' (the Hebrew word) is erroneously translated as 'tempt/tempted' in some English translations. When something seems contradictory in the Bible, it's wise to dig into it instead of just saying "oh, contradiction" and bowing out. Don't be afraid of doubts: rather, expose them to the light. Often, the answer ends up being quite simple, especially given that the Bible is the most scrutinized and studied book in history. ==== Thanks for this!
Many people argue that the Bible is full of contradiction but people never understand that stop taking God words for granted but just read it respectfully and learn and educate yourself it would lot easier because that what i basically doing because i have a honest heart towards God i believe God words are beautiful
To be more specific on the suicide of Judas, he hanged himself before Jesus was crucified. Jesus rose 3 days later and an earthquake occurred. It's possible this earthquake caused the tree that Judas hung himself on to fall or it could have just been the branch broke off. The rate of decomposition over several days and extreme swelling of the abdomen due to bacterial growth, the fall (perhaps even on rocks below, Israel is a VERY rocky place) could be the possible reason his abdomen burst open.
I've not heard this earthquake possibility before, I like it. Another perfectly logical and likely explanation comes from it taking a while for the remaining disciples to find him, and cut him down. Also allowing natural decomposition to take its toll. The average male will fall head/shoulders first because their center of gravity is upper torso. Whereas avg females are lower center of gravity. But anywho, Peter's statement especially the first part in Acts 1 is consistent with a 1st hand account like he was there. It's reasonable to assume that it was Peter and maybe the disciples who found or went looking for him. And we know they weren't doing it on Saturday, a real full schedule Sunday as well. And with all the excitement the rest of the week, it may have taken a while to go looking for him. Or realize he's missing. It's reasonable to assume with a shame great enough to cause those actions that ol Jude did not want to be found. And it was a deal to find him. There is also the option of Peter is speaking metaphorically in Acts 1. Saying ol Judes dove in/fell head first into this ordeal and spilled his gautz, or showed his true inner self. Which is a metaphor we still use today. I don't think that's it, but i leave it on the table until it's proven not to fit.
I think of it this way…. We in the IT field would relate to this as what we called a “PiCNIC” error (problem in chair, not in computer)… someone claiming Bible contradictions have an issue with their comprehension and understanding, not with scripture.
Ray, could you please explain Genesis 1 where it talks about the firmament and the waters divided by the water and other verses that make people think we live on a flat eath and that we are under a dome? I'd love to know your veiw.
5:40 I love Ray and what he does for The Kingdom. And I learned so much from him and use it in my daily witnessing, but Ray just doesn't understand those of us who have mom issues. He just doesn't. He can't comprehend it. He's completely oblivious to that hurt and pain. If you don't know someone's pain don't question why they have it. When someone answers "yes, I will use my mother's name in vain" it shocks him and he accuses the person without asking why or what she did. Some people had a normal upbringing, but not all of us.
Satan is a contradiction to his own lying self!!! I belong to Jesus and I am on my way to Heaven to be with Jesus forever and ever. Glory to his holy name ❤️❤️❤️✝️✝️✝️🙏🥳🇺🇸
What what about how denominational churches teach false doctrine about mary being an eternal virgin despite have at least 6 other children? In fact book of james is Jesus half-brother
Jesus didn’t have any siblings. The son of Mary only refers to Jesus. Passages where it mentions brothers of Christ uses the word brother not in the biological sense.
@Jay-rz8mz except it is friend, it was written in greek the most accurate language ever. The denominational church teaches eternal virgin and you have the ability to prove me wrong by going to these scriptures and getting the exact greek translation. Jesus had at least 4 brothers and 2 sisters. Your church knows this but a few hundred years ago a poor declares that the word of God is wrong and she's an eternal virgin. And just like peter being the rock or 1st pope both of which he refutes in his letters, its kinda hard to be pope when churches were held in houses for the 1st 300yrs. All denominations are full of apostate teachings and still are like now your pope teaches all religions will be saved and worshiping mother earth is okay. Friend if you read your Bible Jesus warned about this when He said get out of her My people. I can verify this because I've escaped that cult. Jesus tells you all you have to do to be saved is believe in Him and you will be saved then He will bless you with His Holy Spirit not some ritual with a priest. Gods word is truth and if you read it daily you are cleansed just like He said. Read 1john1:9 for the truth about confession to God for forgiveness not from man. I pray all who are under this spell of the evil one will see the deception of the denominational church. God bless you friend
Do you mean non-denominational? The false doctrine of Mary has roots in Roman Catholicism and originated in false religions. Roman Catholics teach that denominational Christianity is heresy unto damnation.
In genesis 1 and 2 neither chapter put man being created before animal. I haven't went through every other thing you said I just had time to look at the first one
Who is the person supposed to be at 1:39? The man with six fingers on his hand. The ones in the Bible that had six fingers and six toes were the Nephilim. Specifically Goliath.
Interesting catch! We had a renter who was born with 6 fingers on both hands. It was an old Testament reference. What group of people place an emphasis on that?

Out of ❤ I say this in respect 🫡 to y’all… It is unnecessary to repent of your sins to be saved. Lord Jesus told us to just believe in Him in John 3:16 to be saved. And how are people not saved? You can read John 3:18. Those who don’t simply believe will be condemned. John 3:16-18 never once stated that we are saved by repenting of our sins. In Ephesians chapter 3, God tells us that we are saved by believing in Him only. Many church goers who believe in repent of your sins to be saved clearly diminishes and devalues Christ’s sacrifice on the cross for our sins. Is it God’s sacrifice or yours that is counted righteous? Does Jesus Christ saves or those who thinks by repenting of their sins? Is it God who is holy or those church goers who keeps repenting of their sins? Is it God who saves or those who keeps repenting of their sins? Is it God who knows all of our daily sins or the church goers? Please consider these questions and see where you stand as God’s disciples or not. Thank you 👍✌🏿
Little is known about the life and death of Papias (c. AD 60-130) other than he was the bishop of Hierapolis in Asia Minor (now modern Turkey), and he recorded details regarding Jesus and the apostles in five books entitled Exposition of the Sayings of the Lord. Unfortunately, Papias’s books are now lost except for some excerpts found in the second- and third-century writings of Eusebius of Caesarea and Irenaeus of Lyons. Papias of Hierapolis wrote for the stated purpose of presenting an accurate record of the teaching and works of the apostles, as reported to him by “John the Elder.” Irenaeus assumes this to be the Apostle John, while Eusebius assumes Papias is speaking of a lesser-known John. Papias also states that Judas Iscariot did not die from the actual hanging but from his fall when he was cut down and burst open upon hitting the ground. In this way Papias harmonizes Matthew 27:5 and Acts 1:8.
The problem is people who don't have the Holy Spirit in them can't decipher the physical part from the spiritual. The physical world is limited and the spiritual world is unlimited. Any Bible verse can be explained but if you don't have the wisdom to understand it and you're trying to understand with what humans are capable of you'll never get it. These Bible verses just can't be read they have to be studied.
It makes me scratch my head when I hear people say they aren't concerned if they end up in hell. The Pride and self righteous attitudes in this woke, God hating culture we've turned into is out of control. The problem is atheism for one, but no reverence or desire to search and understand God's word. Hell is never preached today and it needs to be..God's coming judgement and wrath are certain and people need to understand the state of their souls. If you study scripture and the doctrine of hell , eschatology, you will understand how horrific and terrifying it is. Imagine forever, you probably can't. Neither can I. None of us measly human beings can ultimately grasp that concept. I can hardly ponder the next few years or even 20 years. That's a long time. Now imagine you being tormented in flames and outer darkness all alone in solitude confinement. You will be going crazy in your own mind within seconds with nobody to talk to, for eternity......And there is no getting out at this point. You've had your entire life to come to Christ and receive His gift of salvation and forgiveness of your sins. Now you are separated from the loving , just God FOREVER! These woke kids (and adults) need to wake up and use their brains..The problem is a heart issue instead of an intellectual head issue. People don't want God, they worship themselves and the things in this world, which will ALL be tossed in the fire in the end..Nice job as usual Ray. You at least get some of the deceived unbelievers to start to think of these life matters. Seeds are always tossed and we let God bring the increase 🙏🏻👆🏻👑

Hello Ray! Could you make a video about Finland, how it's a so called "Christian country", with all top notch education and morals, expect it's all like pharisees. For example. Our most used curse words are directly attached to Satan; Saatana, Perkele, Vittu, Vittuperkele, Ei Helvetti. (Satan, Devil, F***. ***devil, No Hell) It's all fine on the outside but on the inside it's just as it is written in the Bible; Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy.” It's mostly rotten on the inside, yet luxury on the outside..
My answer is that I am a sinner, but under the circumstances should be forgiveable. I pray that all humans go to a better place after death but I think there are some that wont only because they dont want to.
Under the circumstances they are forgivable. Jesus spent 3 hours in darkness/blackness on the cross absorbing the wrath of God in judgment for sin that would of been aimed at your sin on Judgment Day, it was H E double hockey sticks on earth, on an infinite being. Afterwards He said "it is finshed" which the original word there is an banking term meaning payment finished or paid in full. And He can now grant you salvation as a free gift.
Since you say the 10 commandments are the standard, what day do u honor as God's sabbath? How does the first day of the week gets called a sabbath and the 7th day Saturday gets called the jewish sabbath when the first day of creation was created to be a work day and day 7 Saturday created to be a sabbath? How is it legalistic to keep Saturday holy as God requires but not legalistic to call out all these ppl about their breaking the sabbath ?
Jesus Christ is our Sabbath. The purpose of Sabbath was for rest. Mark 2:27-28 NIV [27] Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. [28] So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.” Matthew 11:28-30 NIV [28] “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Exodus 20:8-11 [8] “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. [9] Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, [10] but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. [11] For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Psalm 37 : 7 - Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. To those whose hearts strayed from Him, God said they would never enjoy His rest (Psalm 95:7-11). But, again, the people failed to learn that resting in the Lord meant surrendering wholly to the Lord in righteous living: “The fruit of that righteousness will be peace; its effect will be quietness and confidence forever” (Isaiah 32:17). In the New Testament, the book of Hebrews declares the good news that those who believe in Jesus Christ can enter His rest: “God’s promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought to tremble with fear that some of you might fail to experience it. For this good news-that God has prepared this rest-has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn’t share the faith of those who listened to God. For only we who believe can enter his rest” (Hebrews 4:1-3). We can either waste our time worrying or trust in the Lord to take care of us. Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light” (Matthew 11:28-30). In the meantime, we can rest in the Lord by taking everything-all our burdens, problems, and anxieties-to Him in prayer. We can tell God what we need even as we remember and thank Him for all that He has done for us already. As we do this-as we abide in Jesus Christ and God’s presence-He promises to pour into us a supernatural, incomprehensible peace to guard our hearts and minds (Philippians 4:6-7). So the commandment has nothing to do with what do you worship or go to church, (we should worship God everyday and we ourselves are Temples for the Holy spirit so everywhere we are can be a place of worship and a place of rest) . The commandment actually means to rest from our own efforts and worries and instead to rest IN God that he takes care of us. We are to give him our worries and to trust in him every day not just Saturday. So we don’t rest only Saturday in the Lord but we Rest daily in the Lord and trust in him. Not only that but ALL believers who have been born again of the Spirit (John 3) we go from death to life and are no longer under the law but instead under Grace and there is No condemnation in Christ. But that does Not give us a license to sin, instead we are to be continually disciples of Christ walk in his New commandment he gave. John 13:34-35 [34] A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. [35] By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” So no longer are we under the 10 commandments. But instead we are Under Grace and Love. But guess what Love does? It keeps the 10 commandments and more. In conclusion the commandment for the sabbath is to rest in the Lord. Which all born again believers rest in the Lord daily from their own efforts but instead are led by the Holy Spirit and Not just on the sabbath. For a born again believer every day is Holy because we have the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of us. Christ in us the hope of Glory. Jesus fulfilled all things and brings us out from under the law into Grace and love.
@davidademola3770 Jesus is our Sabbath? Have you though about what does that mean in practical terms? How would you rest in Christ? Could it be that God does not change and what Jesus says is no different than what has been already said before? Only that this time Jesus is saying - I am the Lord of the Sabbath - In other words I am God - the Creator. Col 1:16: "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:" The day that was appointed for us to spend with God is set by Him, not by us. The point of the Sabbath is not only to not work. It has always been about relationship, you spend time with the one you love. So you put away all your weekly works and worries and spend time with God. Mar 2:27-28: "And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath." - The word "man" here is "Anthropos" meaning human kind, not only Jews. So the Sabbath was made for man kind to remember the relationship we used to have with God before the fall. And God set this time for us which is a sign that we acknowledge that He is our creator. It is not random thing that the commandment starts with "Remember.." The paralel verse is in: Ezek 20:11-12: "And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them. Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them." - Here again "man" is "Adam" meaning, person, individual or human kind, not only Jews. Imagine you have a date with a girl that you are madly in love and she says come meet me Wednesday at such and such place. Instead of going Wednesday you decide to go Sunday. And when she calls to ask: "What happen to you? Why didn't you come?" You say well I decided to go Friday instead, besides... How good do you think your relationship with her will go? Not very good I suspect.. So the Sabbath has and will always be the 7-th day of the week, and not the first. This week for change, meet God when He said.
This is a very good and interesting video thanks Ray but if you want a more deeper study about the so-called contradictions in the Bible I would recommend (the errors in the KJV)
You have been deceived. There are no errors in the KJB. You're just adding to the spiritual attack on God's word. Don't you ever wonder why there are no attacks on any other 'versions'?? Satan wants the true word of God to be tainted.
@jimdrummer816 but God didn't create it. It is a complilation of many ancient texts for the majority of anonymous sources. Most of which came decades of not centuries after the Jesus character died
@MacsRemmacs-f2r You sound exactly like every other person who spews the same objections without doing any research or study. Try reading it before you discuss it.
@@jimdrummer816 I've read the kjv twice, the NLT and Ethiopian bible once. I've studied these books amd know when and where they were created and who funded them. As well as studying the ancients text sources they are edited from. Nothing I said is wrong
@MacsRemmacs-f2r Then you should know that God has the power to preserve His word. His Bible is Holy Spirit inspired using men (of course) to pen the words. Men cannot prophecy with 100 percent accuracy events 100's and even 1000's of years before they happened, providing it's God's word. Have a nice night.
I’m all about the gospel, but the account of Judas’ death still doesn’t make sense to me. You don’t say someone fell headlong, a.k.a. faceplanted, when his body is decomposed. I think that in that stage, Judas would have had bigger issues than faceplanting. Like having a stretched out neck for instance.
Ignorance and being blinded by the devil is the only reason people think there is contradictions in the Bible. “Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:4 NLT “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:7 NKJV

When Ray says the bible is the best selling book of all time, he leaves out the fact that the bible that eclipses all other bible with more than 6 billion copies made is the KJV.

@@edbrackeen5979The KJV isn’t the perfect translation; it has its faults. However, it’s a lovely one and is the one he uses. If he’s not using KJV, he uses NKJV. Most Bible translations are fine except the NIV and The Message.
@@edbrackeen5979 your response has nothing to do with what this commenter said. If you like the kjv that's great. But it has its faults. Please don't spread that kjvo propaganda. NIV is not my favorite but it's better than no bible. The message, stay away from it. The NLT, ESV, NASB, AMP, KJV, and NKJV are all good ones. I use them all. But not one are perfect. If you want the original you better learn paleo-Hebrew and Kione Greek and then read the original manuscripts. Except even those are copies of copies. We need to focus on the main summary of what the bible teaches, and not the details of every word, but we don't have the details of every word. If the kjv was the only true word of God then anyone who speaks a language other than English wouldn't be able to get the word of God. Then that would nullify the entire bible itself. It's all about the message of the gospel. Spread the good news. Do it in love, and let your example be a beacon of light to others.

Should we expect God to know what the Ten Commandments are?
Which was Jesus's sixth commandment?
(Notice that Jesus lists only the secular commandments that make no mention of God):
1. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself:
If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
(Matthew 19:17-19)
2. Honor thy father and mother:
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honor thy father and mother.
(Mark 10:19)
3. There was no sixth. Jesus listed only five commandments:
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother.
(Luke 18:20)
Which is true?
According to the Bible, Joseph has two male parents (Heli and Jacob).
Who was Joseph's father? From which of David's sons was Jesus descended, Solomon or Nathan?
Solomon?
Matthew 1:6-16
"David the king begat Solomon ... and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ."
Or Nathan?
Luke 3:23-31
"And Jesus ... so it was thought the son of Joseph, who was the son of Heli ... who was the son of Nathan, who was the son of David."
The Bible is the biggest selling book of all time, however I believe its the least read. We need to start studying our BOOK. God Bless you Mr Comfort. Keep speaking!

Do you really believe someone could publish a book full of false claims, and it would sell at all? Maybe for a time, but certainly not for hundreds of years.
The Bible is truly a fascinating, mysterious book, full of incredible wisdom way ahead of it's time, prophesies fulfilled (some are admittedly vague, but several in unbelievable detail), by many different authors who, despite most not knowing each other, created this cohesive body of text that fits together perfectly. It holds the keys to life, God, salvation. That is why it's so popular.

Amen, the Lord will save them for sure. God is not willing for ANY to perish but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:8. Paraphrasing 1 John 5:14-15. If we ask anything according to His will He hears us. If we know that He hears us, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. These 2 Bible verses give me such great hope that many of my loved ones, friends, and others as I pray for their salvation the Lord will save them, because God is not willing for ANY to perish, since God is not willing for ANY to perish, he will hear my prayers for the souls I am praying for, because I am praying according to His will and He promises we will have what we prayed for from Him, when we pray according to His will. What a great promise. And what a great motivation to pray for salvation of others. God is so awesome. Keep praying my dear sister in Christ. Amen.

Have hope in God, they are hearing the word of God. God promises His word will not return to Him void, but it will accomplish what He sent it forth to accomplish. Isaiah 55:11. Salvation is of the Lord through His word, not human will. John 1:13.
This was me. But when I finally surrendered to Jesus and accepted Him as my Lord and Savior, I find myself now lamenting the flesh. Paul's frustrations about wanting what he wants to do, he does not do. And that he hates, he does.

I have found many channels and pastors that make me feel safe and cozy. Your channel has not made me feel so safe and cozy, rather, it pushes me to strive for more in my relationship with God and foster my hunger for His word and guidance. You aren’t all fire and brimstone, but you capture the same gravity in your tone.

What seem to be contradictions in the Bible often stem from misunderstandings of context, culture, language, or genre. so contradictions can be explained through context, translation nuances, or differing perspectives of the writers.
Thanks Ray for pointing these out and explaining! The variances or details the disciples focused on in their gospel accounts actually prove that its trustworthy because it would be very suspicious if their writings were the exact same. Usually lies are rehearsed but when you ask a group of friends to tell you about something they experienced they often will share and highlight different details about the same event :) thank you Ray for all you do!
Great job RAY ! Awesome video!!!
Three reasons why people think that the Bible has contradictions.
1. They do not understand it.
2. Bad translations.
3. They are reading the extra books that are in the Catholic and Orthodox Bibles (which contradict the rest of the Bible).
Correct, some of the other ancient texts contradict the later edited together translated versions of the bible
The only contradiction here is you trusting Martin Luther over 1,500 years of Church teaching.

Ray,
I have learned many very helpful evangelistic tactics from watching your videos. Thank you.
I am an American evangelist, bible teacher in the Philippines and work with a former Chinese missionary, who got married to her husband, who is an American born Filipino called to be a missionary in the Philippines.
I don't read Chinese but she said they have a faithful translation and btw, Chinese are taught English and she brought many KJV bibles into China while she was there.
What version of the Bible did God use for your salvation?
God proved to me the KJV is His word and changed my life with it 40 years ago.
Please pray and ask God if he has given us his inspired, perfect, complete words in a book as he promised he would and ask God to prove it to you.
No one that uses modern versions can declare they have God's words because they are constantly revising them and looking up Greek and Hebrew for a better translation and clarification. If we have God's word, it doesn't need clarification, we need to read, study, follow and proclaim it as commanded.
God will give those (Chinese...) of other languages that are truly seeking him his words in their language if they need it, but English and the English empire ruled the world in the 1600's and is still the most used language for international trade.
God knows best and has given us his inspired, perfect, complete words in a book as he promised he would. The KJV AV.
All of the modern English perVersions have been corrupted by vatican influence. They have left out 40 plus thousand words and changed core doctrines, make God out to be a liar and omitted many whole verses and even place 1/3 of the chapter in Mark 16 in doubt.
There are too many proofs for the KJV to write here, but here is a stark example of the corruptions:
Mark 16:9-20 if we are to believe the corrupted vaticanus and siniaticus of the vatican, which puts a line of doubt regarding these verses, there would be no Christ ascension in any of the 4 gospels and Mark would be left with only 666 verses.
I know that there are plenty of scholars that, have letters by their names, that say we must go to the original languages, but remember Jesus and 11 of his disciples had no seminary education and God has set the foolish things to confound the wise.
Hebrew and Koine Greek were dead languages for more than a thousand years.
The only cure for a seminary degree is the KJV.
I am not a debater, just a bondslave of Jesus my LORD, God, Father and Saviour and hope you will be blessed in His Spirit.
May God bless and lead you as you prayerfully make request.
P.S.
I am preparing to start doing bible teaching videos and video evangelism here in my Philippines mission field.
Filipinos love social media.
Again, thank you for what you have taught me.

@@kenid4144 No, what is he about?
Regarding #1: I believe we see this all the time in legal testimony and other sources too.
Someone may give an 'overview' of a situation, then go into more detail regarding something they already described in their precis. There's nothing contradictory there.
----
Regarding #2: This one is a little bit more understandable if you only look at the surface level, considering that 'nissah' (the Hebrew word) is erroneously translated as 'tempt/tempted' in some English translations.
When something seems contradictory in the Bible, it's wise to dig into it instead of just saying "oh, contradiction" and bowing out.
Don't be afraid of doubts: rather, expose them to the light. Often, the answer ends up being quite simple, especially given that the Bible is the most scrutinized and studied book in history.

Amen brother
2:44 a lot of people don’t know this but disciple Thaddeus was also named Judas, so for the I thought that Acts 1:18 was mentioning Thaddeus
ONLY God Is Good
To be more specific on the suicide of Judas, he hanged himself before Jesus was crucified. Jesus rose 3 days later and an earthquake occurred. It's possible this earthquake caused the tree that Judas hung himself on to fall or it could have just been the branch broke off. The rate of decomposition over several days and extreme swelling of the abdomen due to bacterial growth, the fall (perhaps even on rocks below, Israel is a VERY rocky place) could be the possible reason his abdomen burst open.
I've not heard this earthquake possibility before, I like it.
Another perfectly logical and likely explanation comes from it taking a while for the remaining disciples to find him, and cut him down. Also allowing natural decomposition to take its toll. The average male will fall head/shoulders first because their center of gravity is upper torso. Whereas avg females are lower center of gravity. But anywho, Peter's statement especially the first part in Acts 1 is consistent with a 1st hand account like he was there. It's reasonable to assume that it was Peter and maybe the disciples who found or went looking for him. And we know they weren't doing it on Saturday, a real full schedule Sunday as well. And with all the excitement the rest of the week, it may have taken a while to go looking for him. Or realize he's missing.
It's reasonable to assume with a shame great enough to cause those actions that ol Jude did not want to be found. And it was a deal to find him.
There is also the option of Peter is speaking metaphorically in Acts 1. Saying ol Judes dove in/fell head first into this ordeal and spilled his gautz, or showed his true inner self. Which is a metaphor we still use today. I don't think that's it, but i leave it on the table until it's proven not to fit.
@@KurtisScott-vl8jf If it fits together literally and metaphorically, it's like a hand in a glove. Thank you for your comment.

there are no contradictions. just a lack of understanding
I think of it this way…. We in the IT field would relate to this as what we called a “PiCNIC” error (problem in chair, not in computer)… someone claiming Bible contradictions have an issue with their comprehension and understanding, not with scripture.
Ray, could you please explain Genesis 1 where it talks about the firmament and the waters divided by the water and other verses that make people think we live on a flat eath and that we are under a dome? I'd love to know your veiw.
Jesus is king ❤❤❤❤❤
5:40 I love Ray and what he does for The Kingdom. And I learned so much from him and use it in my daily witnessing, but Ray just doesn't understand those of us who have mom issues. He just doesn't. He can't comprehend it. He's completely oblivious to that hurt and pain.
If you don't know someone's pain don't question why they have it. When someone answers "yes, I will use my mother's name in vain" it shocks him and he accuses the person without asking why or what she did.
Some people had a normal upbringing, but not all of us.
God bless the Living Waters ministry
but the discrepancy between gen 1 and 2 isn’t solved by this explanation? help me understand.
Satan is a contradiction to his own lying self!!!
I belong to Jesus and I am on my way to Heaven to be with Jesus forever and ever. Glory to his holy name ❤️❤️❤️✝️✝️✝️🙏🥳🇺🇸

What what about how denominational churches teach false doctrine about mary being an eternal virgin despite have at least 6 other children? In fact book of james is Jesus half-brother
Jesus didn’t have any siblings. The son of Mary only refers to Jesus. Passages where it mentions brothers of Christ uses the word brother not in the biological sense.
@Jay-rz8mz except it is friend, it was written in greek the most accurate language ever. The denominational church teaches eternal virgin and you have the ability to prove me wrong by going to these scriptures and getting the exact greek translation. Jesus had at least 4 brothers and 2 sisters. Your church knows this but a few hundred years ago a poor declares that the word of God is wrong and she's an eternal virgin. And just like peter being the rock or 1st pope both of which he refutes in his letters, its kinda hard to be pope when churches were held in houses for the 1st 300yrs. All denominations are full of apostate teachings and still are like now your pope teaches all religions will be saved and worshiping mother earth is okay. Friend if you read your Bible Jesus warned about this when He said get out of her My people. I can verify this because I've escaped that cult. Jesus tells you all you have to do to be saved is believe in Him and you will be saved then He will bless you with His Holy Spirit not some ritual with a priest. Gods word is truth and if you read it daily you are cleansed just like He said. Read 1john1:9 for the truth about confession to God for forgiveness not from man. I pray all who are under this spell of the evil one will see the deception of the denominational church. God bless you friend
Do you mean non-denominational? The false doctrine of Mary has roots in Roman Catholicism and originated in false religions. Roman Catholics teach that denominational Christianity is heresy unto damnation.
Great you emphasize the ten commandment but you say one if them has been done away with. The Sabbath. Perhaps you may reconsider this one
Good works are the fruit of salvation and not the root.
In genesis 1 and 2 neither chapter put man being created before animal. I haven't went through every other thing you said I just had time to look at the first one
There are NO contradictions in the Bible, just misunderstandings. Ray just gave us 5 examples.
Ahhhhh beautiful
Who is the person supposed to be at 1:39?
The man with six fingers on his hand.
The ones in the Bible that had six fingers and six toes were the Nephilim. Specifically Goliath.
Interesting catch! We had a renter who was born with 6 fingers on both hands. It was an old Testament reference. What group of people place an emphasis on that?
It's AI generated. AI has had issue with this since it began creating images. Happens with feet as well.
@@intentionally-blank If that is true, that AI does that to images, that points to some demonic control over AI.
Yeah, that sounds crazy, I know.
@@davidmcbrine4527 Has happened to me several times. Faces can be distorted as well. It's gotten better as I understand. I haven't generated any imagery using AI tools for 1.5 years now. I do believe AI is a significant factor in these end of times.
I have experienced bias and argumentative responses with a couple of AI tools when I posed a spiritual question. There was definitely a bias. It's amazing to ask a question where you know the correct answer and have the response be incorrect then tell the AI bot something like "I don't find that" or "I found this" and have the response apologize and cough up a corrected reply.
There's more but I'll leave it at that. Even so, come, Sovereign Yeshua!
Out of ❤ I say this in respect 🫡 to y’all…
It is unnecessary to repent of your sins to be saved. Lord Jesus told us to just believe in Him in John 3:16 to be saved. And how are people not saved? You can read John 3:18. Those who don’t simply believe will be condemned. John 3:16-18 never once stated that we are saved by repenting of our sins. In Ephesians chapter 3, God tells us that we are saved by believing in Him only. Many church goers who believe in repent of your sins to be saved clearly diminishes and devalues Christ’s sacrifice on the cross for our sins. Is it God’s sacrifice or yours that is counted righteous? Does Jesus Christ saves or those who thinks by repenting of their sins? Is it God who is holy or those church goers who keeps repenting of their sins? Is it God who saves or those who keeps repenting of their sins? Is it God who knows all of our daily sins or the church goers? Please consider these questions and see where you stand as God’s disciples or not. Thank you 👍✌🏿
Little is known about the life and death of Papias (c. AD 60-130) other than he was the bishop of Hierapolis in Asia Minor (now modern Turkey), and he recorded details regarding Jesus and the apostles in five books entitled Exposition of the Sayings of the Lord. Unfortunately, Papias’s books are now lost except for some excerpts found in the second- and third-century writings of Eusebius of Caesarea and Irenaeus of Lyons.
Papias of Hierapolis wrote for the stated purpose of presenting an accurate record of the teaching and works of the apostles, as reported to him by “John the Elder.” Irenaeus assumes this to be the Apostle John, while Eusebius assumes Papias is speaking of a lesser-known John.
Papias also states that Judas Iscariot did not die from the actual hanging but from his fall when he was cut down and burst open upon hitting the ground. In this way Papias harmonizes Matthew 27:5 and Acts 1:8.
Praying for you Romi, Ariana, and the sweet gentleman (sorry, missed his name). ❤❤💚 #goodsoil

Are you close to the fires Ray?
Huntington Beach is further South of LA and LA County where the fires are.
@banemaler Okay, thankyou. ❤️

The Bible is perfect. God is perfect! His Word is perfect!!
Did you read Matt 24:34 ?
That is honestly, without equivocating that "words do not mean what they mean" in that verae.
The problem is people who don't have the Holy Spirit in them can't decipher the physical part from the spiritual. The physical world is limited and the spiritual world is unlimited. Any Bible verse can be explained but if you don't have the wisdom to understand it and you're trying to understand with what humans are capable of you'll never get it. These Bible verses just can't be read they have to be studied.
You can tell Romey is a sweet person. Hope she puts her trust in Christ. I encourage everyone to ask Jesus to be their Savior.
It makes me scratch my head when I hear people say they aren't concerned if they end up in hell. The Pride and self righteous attitudes in this woke, God hating culture we've turned into is out of control. The problem is atheism for one, but no reverence or desire to search and understand God's word. Hell is never preached today and it needs to be..God's coming judgement and wrath are certain and people need to understand the state of their souls. If you study scripture and the doctrine of hell , eschatology, you will understand how horrific and terrifying it is. Imagine forever, you probably can't. Neither can I. None of us measly human beings can ultimately grasp that concept. I can hardly ponder the next few years or even 20 years. That's a long time. Now imagine you being tormented in flames and outer darkness all alone in solitude confinement. You will be going crazy in your own mind within seconds with nobody to talk to, for eternity......And there is no getting out at this point. You've had your entire life to come to Christ and receive His gift of salvation and forgiveness of your sins. Now you are separated from the loving , just God FOREVER! These woke kids (and adults) need to wake up and use their brains..The problem is a heart issue instead of an intellectual head issue. People don't want God, they worship themselves and the things in this world, which will ALL be tossed in the fire in the end..Nice job as usual Ray. You at least get some of the deceived unbelievers to start to think of these life matters. Seeds are always tossed and we let God bring the increase 🙏🏻👆🏻👑
No amount of evidence is going to prove God to someone who doesn’t want God. If you want God he is not hidden you receive God and experience God dear family 🕊️🔥
Your explanation for Genesis 1 and 2 didn't explain away the contradiction!
In Jesus' Name, Amen
Works!!!
Here is a biblical contradiction: I am the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. God is eternal, no beginning and no end.
Hello Ray! Could you make a video about Finland, how it's a so called "Christian country", with all top notch education and morals, expect it's all like pharisees.
For example. Our most used curse words are directly attached to Satan; Saatana, Perkele, Vittu, Vittuperkele, Ei Helvetti.
(Satan, Devil, F***. ***devil, No Hell)
It's all fine on the outside but on the inside it's just as it is written in the Bible; Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy.”
It's mostly rotten on the inside, yet luxury on the outside..
Hell is not a place of eternal punishment…
My answer is that I am a sinner, but under the circumstances should be forgiveable. I pray that all humans go to a better place after death but I think there are some that wont only because they dont want to.
Under the circumstances they are forgivable. Jesus spent 3 hours in darkness/blackness on the cross absorbing the wrath of God in judgment for sin that would of been aimed at your sin on Judgment Day, it was H E double hockey sticks on earth,
on an infinite being. Afterwards He said "it is finshed" which the original word there is an banking term meaning payment finished or paid in full. And He can now grant you salvation as a free gift.
Since you say the 10 commandments are the standard, what day do u honor as God's sabbath? How does the first day of the week gets called a sabbath and the 7th day Saturday gets called the jewish sabbath when the first day of creation was created to be a work day and day 7 Saturday created to be a sabbath? How is it legalistic to keep Saturday holy as God requires but not legalistic to call out all these ppl about their breaking the sabbath ?
Jesus Christ is our Sabbath. The purpose of Sabbath was for rest.
Mark 2:27-28 NIV
[27] Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. [28] So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
Matthew 11:28-30 NIV
[28] “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Amen!
Exodus 20:8-11
[8] “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. [9] Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, [10] but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. [11] For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
Psalm 37 : 7 - Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
To those whose hearts strayed from Him, God said they would never enjoy His rest (Psalm 95:7-11).
But, again, the people failed to learn that resting in the Lord meant surrendering wholly to the Lord in righteous living: “The fruit of that righteousness will be peace; its effect will be quietness and confidence forever” (Isaiah 32:17).
In the New Testament, the book of Hebrews declares the good news that those who believe in Jesus Christ can enter His rest: “God’s promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought to tremble with fear that some of you might fail to experience it. For this good news-that God has prepared this rest-has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn’t share the faith of those who listened to God. For only we who believe can enter his rest” (Hebrews 4:1-3).
We can either waste our time worrying or trust in the Lord to take care of us. Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).
In the meantime, we can rest in the Lord by taking everything-all our burdens, problems, and anxieties-to Him in prayer. We can tell God what we need even as we remember and thank Him for all that He has done for us already. As we do this-as we abide in Jesus Christ and God’s presence-He promises to pour into us a supernatural, incomprehensible peace to guard our hearts and minds (Philippians 4:6-7).
So the commandment has nothing to do with what do you worship or go to church, (we should worship God everyday and we ourselves are Temples for the Holy spirit so everywhere we are can be a place of worship and a place of rest) .
The commandment actually means to rest from our own efforts and worries and instead to rest IN God that he takes care of us. We are to give him our worries and to trust in him every day not just Saturday. So we don’t rest only Saturday in the Lord but we Rest daily in the Lord and trust in him.
Not only that but ALL believers who have been born again of the Spirit (John 3) we go from death to life and are no longer under the law but instead under Grace and there is No condemnation in Christ. But that does Not give us a license to sin, instead we are to be continually disciples of Christ walk in his New commandment he gave.
John 13:34-35
[34] A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. [35] By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
So no longer are we under the 10 commandments. But instead we are Under Grace and Love. But guess what Love does? It keeps the 10 commandments and more.
In conclusion the commandment for the sabbath is to rest in the Lord. Which all born again believers rest in the Lord daily from their own efforts but instead are led by the Holy Spirit and Not just on the sabbath. For a born again believer every day is Holy because we have the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of us. Christ in us the hope of Glory. Jesus fulfilled all things and brings us out from under the law into Grace and love.
@davidademola3770 Jesus is our Sabbath? Have you though about what does that mean in practical terms?
How would you rest in Christ? Could it be that God does not change and what Jesus says is no different than what has been already said before? Only that this time Jesus is saying - I am the Lord of the Sabbath - In other words I am God - the Creator.
Col 1:16: "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:"
The day that was appointed for us to spend with God is set by Him, not by us.
The point of the Sabbath is not only to not work. It has always been about relationship, you spend time with the one you love. So you put away all your weekly works and worries and spend time with God.
Mar 2:27-28: "And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath." - The word "man" here is "Anthropos" meaning human kind, not only Jews.
So the Sabbath was made for man kind to remember the relationship we used to have with God before the fall. And God set this time for us which is a sign that we acknowledge that He is our creator. It is not random thing that the commandment starts with "Remember.."
The paralel verse is in:
Ezek 20:11-12: "And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them. Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them." - Here again "man" is "Adam" meaning, person, individual or human kind, not only Jews.
Imagine you have a date with a girl that you are madly in love and she says come meet me Wednesday at such and such place. Instead of going Wednesday you decide to go Sunday. And when she calls to ask: "What happen to you? Why didn't you come?" You say well I decided to go Friday instead, besides... How good do you think your relationship with her will go? Not very good I suspect..
So the Sabbath has and will always be the 7-th day of the week, and not the first. This week for change, meet God when He said.
@@androidaccount8486 Hebrews 4:7 says: Today you must enter God's Sabbath's rest. Not only Saturday, not only Sunday, but every day of the week.
There are no errors or contradictions in my Bible. The Bible can only be understood by revelation
This is a very good and interesting video thanks Ray but if you want a more deeper study about the so-called contradictions in the Bible I would recommend (the errors in the KJV)
You have been deceived. There are no errors in the KJB. You're just adding to the spiritual attack on God's word. Don't you ever wonder why there are no attacks on any other 'versions'?? Satan wants the true word of God to be tainted.
@jimdrummer816 but God didn't create it. It is a complilation of many ancient texts for the majority of anonymous sources. Most of which came decades of not centuries after the Jesus character died
@MacsRemmacs-f2r You sound exactly like every other person who spews the same objections without doing any research or study. Try reading it before you discuss it.
@@jimdrummer816 I've read the kjv twice, the NLT and Ethiopian bible once. I've studied these books amd know when and where they were created and who funded them. As well as studying the ancients text sources they are edited from.
Nothing I said is wrong
@MacsRemmacs-f2r Then you should know that God has the power to preserve His word. His Bible is Holy Spirit inspired using men (of course) to pen the words. Men cannot prophecy with 100 percent accuracy events 100's and even 1000's of years before they happened, providing it's God's word. Have a nice night.
I’m all about the gospel, but the account of Judas’ death still doesn’t make sense to me. You don’t say someone fell headlong, a.k.a. faceplanted, when his body is decomposed. I think that in that stage, Judas would have had bigger issues than faceplanting. Like having a stretched out neck for instance.
The thing about Judas falling headlong is not describe his death but his fall from his POSITION of Grace and the Apostleship.
Ignorance and being blinded by the devil is the only reason people think there is contradictions in the Bible.
“Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.”
2 Corinthians 4:4 NLT
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
Proverbs 1:7 NKJV
Dear Brothers/Sisters in Christ:
God showed me about an hour ago…& now you…Chose for a time as this…
Rev. Is the 66th book now go to chapter 6. I never thought this before…the seals are about to be opened….
This is equivalent to the 666 of the beast but that is what God is showing us.
Lord Jesus please Help us to be strong & of good courage.
God Bless!
HALLELUJAH JESUS IS GOD ALMIGHTY
Hey Ray! I hope you and your wife are well. I hope you find this comment since I have a request. Would you be able to do a video on either Biblical numerology or Biblical cosmology? Thanks and have a good one, brother! Praise Jesus.
God admits to creating evil isaiah 45:7 he also says he put the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden.
The word “evil” is better translated “calamity:”. Secondly, Yahweh in the OT is satan. So in that context, satan does create evil.
There are no discrepancies
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Using God's name as a curse word isn't blasphemy.
Ah yes the so called "contradictions" 😂
There are no contradictions we just need common sense and context
