I was the opposite. Clinging to a life of chaos, drugs alcohol and suicide. I reached out to the friends I had at the time but when your drowning how can you cling to others drowning in their own chaos. The world had nothing I hadn't tried. My relationship with GOD is mine and no one can break what my heart has achieved. If I'm crazy I don't want to go back to this world we call sane.
Yup, same here. But once you actually encounter and know it’s real and Jesus is real it’s hard to believe you can just turn it off and not believe. I would question anyone’s falling away as not really ever knowing Christ. I know that statement is bold but I just don’t see how you can encounter him and walk away.
Yeah i came to faith the same way and when i started getting into college ministry, i was jealous of the girls who had been raised Christian and had never drifted away like i had. They didn't have all this messy terrible sin life to overcome, i thought. But at least one of those girls drifted away. I was like... How could you walk away from the God who saved me from dying, from meaninglessness, from addiction? May God forgive me for not trying harder to turn her back. I figured if she just walked off into the darkness God would find her and bring her back like He brought me back.
I was raised christian, but it took me falling away to become a true believer. Even though I grew up in a house of faith, I had doubts. But once God took me out of my addictions, depression and anger later in life, I truly encountered him for the first time. I agree that I would rather be considered crazy or an extremist for choosing God. At the end of the day, when we all sit before the throne, I will have to answer to God, not man. I think people can be believers, but if it is possible for someone to fall away, than I am convinced they were never truly born again or had that undeniable encounter with God.
God can’t exist because of Eric The God-Eating Magic Penguin. Since Eric is God-Eating by definition, he has no choice but to eat God. So, if God exists, He automatically ceases to exist as a result of being eaten. Unless you can prove that Eric doesn’t exist, God doesn’t exist. Even if you can prove that Eric doesn’t exist, that same proof will also be applicable to God. There are only two possibilities: either you can prove that Eric doesn’t exist or you can’t. In both cases it logically follows that God doesn’t exist.

Mr. Comfort: Any family of Christians? Him: My mom is very religious. Mr. Comfort: Christian? Him: Yes sir. Mr. Comfort: You're listening today because of her prayers. This made me pause and shed a tear. It reminded me how vitally important it is to dedicate time in prayer to intercede for those in my life who don't know and love Jesus.
Prayer is powerful, my mom died 6 times in the past 10 years and three times on the hospital bed. I prayed each time for God to grant me at least one more day with my mom. She is still with me today, in the name of Jesus.
Yes, I would love to have his attitude. When I hear about people rejecting God, I get angry. I need to pray to be kinder. Like my husband said to me the other day, "sinners aren't bad, they're just lost". It made me realize that they are like children who haven't been told or shown the correct way.
I think he is so kind because he believes his message fully. Not one of these young men or women really want to go to Hell. Not even the ones with flippant answers. They just aren't really considering what Hell means or how much of God's mercy they walk in every day. None of us have ever encountered this life without some measure of God's grace. We can only imagine what it means to have all that sustained goodness withdrawn from us for eternity. Let your understanding of how little understanding they possess lead you in kindness and love. God bless!
I was once very much like Rhett for the better part of my adult life. I believed in Christ when I was younger but through my desires to live a life that contradicts that of a true christian I decided to live my life as I felt was best for me. I rationalized and thought out many of the questions people have and eventually turned my back on God. I still believed in a god and Jesus but not as a christian should. I was fine with it for many years however I would still identify myself as a christian. I knew it was hypocritical to call myself a christian when I didn't believe the Bible. Much like Rhett I finally was determined to know the truth no matter where it took me. I finally took the time to start reading the Bible for myself. I was going to either disagree completely and be an atheist or believe it. I honestly thought I would find contradictions or problems and just become an atheist with a clear conscience. Slowly but surely God opened my eyes and revealed to me his word and truth through Jesus. I pray that Rhett will accept the truth and that God will be as gracious to him as he has been with me.
I feel for these guys. I realized God was real after going thru my 6th brain surgery. I could have been bitter but i wanted things to get better. I said a prayer for the first time out of desperation and God answered. Since then, he has answered mumerous prayers, but my favorite was after reading psalm37 i prayed for my desire to meet my wife. The next day, a friend and I went out to talk and we both knew and were engaged that night, married 4months later back in 1995😊 "Believe, all things are possible for those who believe"
Wow how sad the Bible said at the end times many will fall away. Thank God I have a very deep love encounter with God. For me to deny God would be like denying my own existence and my soul.
Your right. They both said they were willing to change their minds... So Holy Spirit 🙏 please change their mind and hearts. You are not willing that any should perish 💙📖✝️
As a ex Mormon I can attest to this man. Jumping into a sea of uncertainty. Very scary and very hard experience that I don’t wish upon my worst enemy. At times it creeps up, but I just trust in Jesus
I don't know how you cannot believe in God it's the only way that makes sense, evolution makes about as much sense as islam lol just remind your self of the truth and focus on God not anything else
@@Guthix198 So true. Ancient invisible sky spirit makes much more sense than organisms evolving to survive in different conditions over a long period of time.
That is interesting that you didn't know. Years ago, I had an inkling that Link was just by his demeanor. I looked it up and sure enough they had had a children's ministry on RUclips at some point. They have definitely changed since then.
When one looks at the believers in China and Nigeria how they can worship the Lord and stand firm through all the hardships and persecution. They do not worry about phony. Maybe excess does not do us favors.
It's actually harder to maintain faith in times of excess than in times of agony. In times of pain you have no choice but to have faith, but those who are living in abundance, the temptation of a self serving life style is heavily impressed on individuals. Only the strongest deny the temptations....
Revelation 3:17 KJV - Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
@@denniswilkerson5536 I believe that's why the bible tells us to deny ourselves daily and take up the cross. If our environment is comfy, our faith grows weaker, and we in turn grow weaker. It's very rare to find people who willingly deny a life of abundance.
I got goose bumps when the last girl said she doesn't know how to get right with the Lord. She has the actual desire to change. Amazing work praise God.
I WAS EZEQUIEL!!! I had suicidal and murderous thoughts in my mind constantly, I rejected God daily and blasphemed him daily. I smoked Weed daily and popped pills and took acid. I used almost every drug as an escape. God still saved my life in a school shooting and saved me from depression, he released me and broke the chains of bondage so fast all because this girl in my class said “ you guys think God is Whoever you make him” and not even a believer it convicted me. Soon enough I would repent and become born again. I believed in the Lord YESHUA HA’MASSIACH and was saved. I wish the lord would do such a marvelous work like this for everyone. In fact he can and will if you Give it all at the feet of Jesus. PRAISE THE LORD GGTG
So happy for you. I am so filled with joy to hear your testimony brother. The Lord protected my Grandmother and Sister in a farm attach on our farm in South Africa. He has done many more miracles in my life. Praise His Holy name!
It's getting more and more dark out there Ray, sadly. Just keep going :) there are still those out there who need to hear the word of God and those who are still lost who need to be found. The Lords protective hand is on you, keep sharing the light from our Lord 😁
"I'm gonna follow truth wherever it leads." - that's a good attitude that God will bless. I will pray for these two men.Ray points out convincingly that a watered-down message does not lead people to true repentance and salvation in Christ.
In addition, they may have been too inoculated to the Gospel. And they don’t know the Holy Spirits’ inside presence so they will still be looking at Jesus in two dimensions. I pray, really not just an idiom, that these two fine young men will be drawn supernaturally, as we all where, to the gospel and repentance and finally salvation with the Holy Spirit sealing them in his love. Look into the eyes of your children guys, you can’t afford to be prideful.or wrong. Please. I love you.
@@anatoliykodebsky7488 Rhett and Link are despairing becaude they were preached a false gospel instead of truly and completely trusting in Christ Jesus who died for their sins; Ray Comfort is carefully showing them the Truth, which profits himself nothing, and showing them there is hope. That is the definition of tender!
@@anatoliykodebsky7488 If someone genuinely believes the Gospel of Christ, they CAN'T fall away "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Romans 8:38-39 Ray Comfort lovingly shows everyone in this video not his own thoughts or theories, but the pure Word of God, without which no one can be saved. He is gentle, patient, respectful, and he gets people to really think about what they believe. He could just say, "You're all going to hell! You all are wrong about evolution!" But he lovingly, tenderly, shows them the truth: God's Word, not his word.
@@anatoliykodebsky7488 I believe the Bible because every compelling argument I've heard upholds its integrity. Ray Comfort has more than one video debunking evolution, for example. I am a content, peace-filled Christian with no fear for the future because I put my eternal soul in God's hands. I cannot prove the Bible to anyone who will not be persuaded, but the facts are compelling that God is the Creator, that the great Noahic flood actually took place, and that souls can be saved from God's just wrath if they believe solely in Christ, not by works, so that no one may boast.
@@anatoliykodebsky7488 Every created thing around us; think of the moon, the sun... everything perfectly in balance so that we aren't consumed by heat, or frozen solid. A big bang, an explosion, could never produce the order seen today. No one looks at a house and assumes it got there by accident; they know subconsciously that someone designed that house, built it. If it took millions of years to make all that exists today, there would be no life because our blood couldn't wait for a heart to develop to pump it, and our brains couldn't wait for blood... all our systems and all the order we see could only sensibly come from a Designer, and made complete right from the beginning, or nothing would function properly. Furthermore, we have conscious, morality, a sense of right and wrong. Animals don't operate morally. It's an imprint of God's own nature on us that we reason, choose things that seem "right". Creation and Conscience cannot be explained by a big bang. The Bible's account of creation and other historical accounts can and have been proven and cannot be disproven. I gave you a recourse in a previous comment for medical and scientific facts that prove the Bible to be true; go ahead and scroll up to give that a look. I get the feeling, too, that perhaps you don't want to be told the truth, but here it is: All humans are sinners, defying the living God who created them, and He will condemn all to eternal death, UNLESS they believe in Jesus Christ alone who died in the place of sinners. I don't expect to convince you, especially if you don't want to be convinced, but I believe in Christ with all my heart, knowing I can't save myself. You would do well to seek to know Christ too. "If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (sin paid for), you will be saved."
Satan is a liar. He lied to Adam and Eve and he is still lying till this day. My niece became an atheist and had a painful dramatic experience that lead her back to Jesus.
@@sofisontet7542 My niece was raised in church. When she was in her early 20's she told the Lord to step aside. She got this. She started dealing drugs, carried a gun, started going to bars, became permiscuous. The things that came out of her mouth was disgusting. She would listen to Marilyn Manson music. My heart would break Seeing what she became. I would faithfully pray for her. All hell was breaking loose in her life. She had a boyfriend who took advantage of her and left her in over 20 thousand dollars in debt. She brought a house in her name for them, he ended up living with someone else in that very house. He and his other girlfriend charged things in her name. They had her credit card information. She eventually sold the house to another drug dealer to get her ex out. She met someone else who she fell madly in love with and he used to threaten her life. She couldn't get rid of him. She went home one day threw herself on her knees and cried out to God. She said she threw a white handkerchief and said she gives up she surrenders, she couldn't do it anymore. She gave her life to the Lord. She said her boyfriend stopped calling her all of the sudden. He started seeing someone else. She is now a fireball for Jesus.
I was agnostic for a long time. I've recently been born again and while I still have doubts and things that I cant explain through Christ, I am choosing to believe. If I am wrong, so be it. It doesnt really matter if I turn out to be wrong, haha. But if I am right? The greatest gift and reward awaits me. Everlasting life and love.
It isn't true faith if you think might be wrong. It means you have doubt just like I do and just like Rhett and Link have some doubt. Hopeful agnostic?
@@daves2058 I’m not saying I think I’m wrong, I’m saying if all you atheists somehow end up being right, I’m no worse off than you are. But if I’m right (and I believe I am) I’m all set whereas most atheists/agnostics/nonbelievers etcetera will have some explaining to do
I Pray for Ezekiel, I pray that the Lord will reveal Him self to him. I was once like him. But Jesus Christ saves me. He humbles me and the bible become alive.
Rhett and Link said that they are open to God. Let us all pray together as a family that God reveals Himself to them like He did with Gideon in the Old Testament (The Book of Judges).
JayJay_Ava 70x7 they were obviously devout and well learned Christians. Why wouldn’t your god have already shown himself. In fact. To be a Christian, don’t you have to get baptized in the blood and accept him into your heart? (I was baptist for 16 years of my life) Besides that, god should just show himself. Faith is a tool with no use.
@@LowQualityMike That is a lie right out of Satan's mouth. God has shown Himself but they just havent recognized it. And no religion won't save accepting Jesus Christ into your heart is the only thing that will. Being baptized doesn't save you accepting Jesus Christ and turning your life to Him will and that's it. Jesus is the ONLY WAY, ONLY TRUTH, and ONLY LIFE, NO ONE comes to the Father but through Him.
Thanks for this! I have been struggling with what I heard from Rhett and Link since I watched their videos. Their stories made me sad for them, and they renewed my desire to know God more deeply.
Thankyou Our Lord For your ❤to Reach The Lost Sinners Like me,& Many!many,Yet to be Saved by The Truth John 3 v16 of your Mercy"+"Amazing Grace, from,eternal Death&Hell!. To You Jesus'The only Way to Eternal Life,Heaven.❤. Thankyou.🙏.
Wow, a relationship with God is exactly that a relationship. In this life we will face hardships and trials. Will we remain faithful to the Lord even when life hands us death or pain?
He will stay faithful to us, even when we are lacking faith. But the blessed Holy Spirit and comforter will lovingly nudge us back to the truths of of our sweet Lord and Saviour...
'He talks about having pulled his wife and children with him in a sea of uncertainty.' Yet here he says in response to the question, "what happens after you die with": "I don't know." I respect them both for verbalizing their doubts rather than simply acting the Christian like many churchgoers do. The Lord promises to never turn away anyone who genuinely seeks Truth. He is the very definition of all Truth. Prayerfully Rhett and Link will see the scales of deception fall away.
He lead his wife and child away from God. Is there any greater sin than damning your family to Hell? You are taking his decision to walk away from the Creator too lightly.
@@benm9901 thanks. We all need prayer for sure my sad face was just in response to what has happened to the Rhett and Link. We must keep them in prayer.
John 6: 44 "No one can come to ME unless the FATHER who sent ME draws him, and I will raise him to life on the last day." It has to be the Holy Spirit revealing the Truth to their hearts. Heavenly Father, please draw them to Your Son, in Jesus name we ask & thank You for the answer. Amen
C PEACE RUclips pro-tip: when citing chapter and verse do it in word form, if you want to avoid people pushing on the number and it leading that person to a point in the video unrelated to the subject at hand.
Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, I Timothy 4:1-2 NKJV
morneolsen thats what the evil spirit does but for me famous people can’t have a true relationship with God, they are famous so I think they prefer devil than God...
Exactly! Yes, pray for them but if they will not repent and are leading people away from God then the judgement that will come will be a fearful thing.
Katarzyna B not everyone in Hollywood are satanic. Don’t you think our amazing God would put people of faith to stand up for Him in there? Watch KJ from the Scariest Movie Ever channel. He’s a humble Christian who worked in Hollywood and now exposes them. Even he says not everyone worships satan. Here are some examples of Christians in Hollywood: Chris Pratt, Sylvester Stalone, Stephan Baldwin, Eric Roberts, Melissa Joan Heart, and more. Many who are neutral pray for them to come to Jesus if not before the rapture then because of the rapture. Maranatha ✝️🙏🏻❤️
He said it himself, he had a different God meaning a different gospel. He was making God in his own image and not allowing God shape to how he wants him to be.
@@jamesmark1721 True. Most Christians wax and wane through thier faith. It's natural and the Bible speaks of it constantly. No attempt to hide the fact, that faith is like the flame of a burning candle during a windy, stormy night. Considerable attention must be made to keep it burning. Faith is like that.
I'm going to take a contrary point of view to yours. That means all of you and it is food for thought. I had a "God" that was one I created and I ran from the actual God the Father, because of that so called "God" The gospel was the same but it was my perception of it that was wrong. I didn't change the gospel or God, but I did misunderstand and not know who He was and what His design for mankind was, until He shattered that box. And by "box" I mean the limited way I saw Him. The Pharisees had that same problem, but instead of adapting their thinking to Jesus they tried to get Jesus to adapt to their thinking. And that is one way to handle it. The better way is to let Jesus show Himself to you and press in closer, until it matters more than anything else, that was the route that I took.
Then why is it that your interpretation somehow perfectly reflects your political and social views, yet people with opposing views will have the same justification?
The “phony feeling” comes from you being phony yourself. I’ve been that, bc i didn’t carry a consistent intimate relationship with God I began to see others like they were just acting. But the problem wasn’t them, wasn’t God, it was me!
Amen. Feelings are not consistent, but God’s truth is true no matter how we feel. This is a great thing, because this means that no matter the circumstances, or how I feel, I can choose to believe God’s truth.
This has kind of come to a head recently with Steven Crowder's video on Rhett and Link. I don't like saying it, but it sounds like what especially Link was talking about was "churchianity."
to be honest I totally understand that but I think it's time we stop blaming the church for not always doing what's right and start remember that the church is indeed made of imperfect people and pray for each other, I'm sick of hearing the church shouldn't do that while at the same it's the same logic behind it that made the church do and say certains things toward other christians , I instead blame this on the lack of love from both part first to say things with love and second to understand where each other is coming from even when it's hurt in resume LOVE for each other
@@hilaryxko Well, they are selling an imaginary god. Some people can wake up from that garbage and some are enslaved under the delusion until their entire life is wasted.
Rhett and Link, please keep searching for God, the true God through Jesus Christ. I’ve experienced His presence. I’ve tasted His goodness. If you seek Him with all your heart you will find Him... 🙏🏻❤️
*If you seek Him with all your heart you will find Him.* Isn't that the epitome of confirmation bias? Aren't there more reliable methods to come to truth?
It’s the epitome of truth. I have experienced the presence of God and you would have better luck convincing me that you don’t exist before convincing me that God doesn’t. We don’t need experiences though because the knowledge of God is within us. Our conscience itself bears witness. Light has come into the world but men love darkness because their deeds are evil. Men tell themselves that God doesn’t exist because they want to sin and not feel guilty. God is not willing that any should perish. Seek and you WILL find. God loves you and sent his Son Jesus to die for your sins so you don’t have to. There is coming a day in which he will judge the world and he declares that “ he will not let the guilty go unpunished”. Admit your guilt, repent, and believe in Jesus. You haven’t known happiness until you have experienced the love of God. The Bible says about God “ In your presence is the fullness of joy, at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” I can testify that you can feel the presence of God and once you do you will never be the same. You may have fun for awhile, drinking, fornicating, or fulfilling other carnal desires, but the hangover always comes and it never fulfills. Jesus said “ if any man drinks of the water that I give him he shall never thirst again” God bless you, friend
Rhett and Link, I pray you read these.you are snared by your own intelligence. Jesus, the Suffering God, NOT the Harsh God. But if you think you can judge Him realise you cannot be outside of time and space to even view Him. The evidence is from all those who knew Jesus on earth that He called Himself the "I AM". If you truly search for Him look at Bible history in the Old Testament, particularly reading every prophecy about Jesus that came true exactly. Then do what He said to do.
Nothing anything you guys are saying is helping them, because it’s not love. God let’s those he loves but deny him burn in Hell. You won’t even let them express their feelings lol.

Falling away was prophecied both by Jesus when He said the love of many will grow cold in the end times and the apostle Paul also mentioned it in 2Thess.2 when he said a great falling away will happen just before the anti christ is revealed.
Wouldn't people fall away from Christianity in both the case that Christianity is true (because it is prophesied), and the case that Christianity is not true (because people will eventually understand it is an unlikely hypothesis)?
@@questionasker8791 normally when people accept Christ it is bcoz of inner conviction that tells them it is true. A spiritual connection forms between them and God. But bcoz we live in this physical body and this material world, danger and temptation is always present. There are different reasons why a believer may fall from his/her faith they once held dear. Temptations of this life, pressure and trials of life, fear of persecution and suffering. Jesus said the path that leads to life is narrow and difficult to walk but the one that leads to destruction is wide and easy!
@@questionasker8791 yes i do understand your question, i answered it indirectly. The first part of your question seems to be hinting towards predestination, which i don't believe in. It's not the prophecy that makes people fall away, it's their own free will bcoz of the reasons i mentioned earlier. For the 2nd part of your question, if it wasn't true to that person, why would they have chosen it in the first place? Of course, in such situation, sooner or later that person will give up.
David Shosho - Okay, you really don’t understand what I meant. Sorry, maybe I wasn’t explaining it right. What I meant to say is that you original comment is equally well explained by “Christianity is true” as it is by “Christianity is false”. The prophecy shouldn’t give us any more confidence that the Bible is true, because if the people were false, we would expect the same result.
@@questionasker8791 well yeah if you actually read your bible daily you would pick up on what God is teaching you because He speaks through His word... the problem is nobody reads it regularly.
laurendd1123 - I don’t think you understand what I mean. If the Bible is the truth, shouldn’t learning about the world reveal the truth similarly as we find it in the Bible?
Scorpion 1771 exactly the enemy slowly and quietly tells you lies , it all starts in the mind if he can get you to believe a lie you will ultimately believe all his lies but we have a weapon which is the Word of God
I really appreciate how you approach this with each conversation and you do it in such a respectable and caring way. You can really see that even if some of them don't agree with you, that they are really listening and that those who are actively seeking were willing to pray with you and you could see that they were open to receive. Thank you for bringing the Good Word and for giving Christians a good name and keep up the good work. I can hear in your tone and your words that God has blessed this ministry.
@Pixi Jesus said, "And I will see you again. And your hearts will be filled with gladness, the kind of gladness that no one can take away from you.

Ask and you will receive. So that your happiness may be complete."
@@nick624179 thanks for asking. In the Vedas the "higher self"/God is called the "light in the darkness", the "mustard seed", the "hidden treasure" & the "narrow path". It also the "one & only path"....."By knowing Him indeed a man surpasses death; No other path is there on which to go." (Svetasvatara Upanishad 3:8); “He only is all things that exist or will hereafter exist. He only is eternal. Having known Him, one crosses death. There is no other path to salvation.” (Kaivalya Upanishad)
As someone who has watched Rhett & Link for over 8 years and has always adored the two of them - this truly was the most heartbreaking and scary thing to hear Rhett say. Brought me to tears immediately. May we pray for them both to encounter Jesus before it’s too late.
@@questionasker8791 Because God warns that anyone who causes a little child to fall away from Christ, it would be better that a millstone would be hung around his neck & he be drowned in the sea. We adults need to be honest in front of & to our children about our need to be redeemed & forgiven by Christ. Our duty is to lovingly lead our kids to Jesus - perish the thought we should do otherwise !
Mother Goose - I highly recommend you watch Rhett’s original video, because it clarifies that is what he was doing, and why wasn’t able to get to that point anymore. If you don’t believe, you don’t believe. You can’t all of a sudden believe again. It doesn’t work that way, and that is very clear from the original video.
I was so sad to hear about Rhett and Link but I was happy to see that you reached some of those kids. Also it's very good that Rhett and Link are open to return. It shows that they just want the Truth. God will honor their efforts and willingness to find Truth. They will be stronger if they do. So let's Pray for them...
Yes, AMEN!! My daughter was a faith filled believer and turned away because of Rhett and Link. She always watched their broadcast and never told me ! NOW I know WHY..... She is struggling more now than she ever has in her whole life! Thanks to the foothold the enemy had when they did that. They will be held accountable! PRAYING for them to recognize Elohim/Father, King and Creator, His Son Jesus and the dunamis power of The Holy Spirit ---then repent.
I'm 48 years old, and I grew up in the church, but no one ever explained salvation to me in the simple terms that Ray does in each video. If you asked me at any point in my life I would have told you I am a Christian, but I was full of doubts, because the world is full of concocted fictions to make us question the Bible, and so very few people exist that can explain it to us as well as Ray does. I've watched dozens of these interviews now, and though they are all very similar, I learn something new every time. There are so many people out there that need it explained to them so it will make sense, and we are responsible for getting them that explanation. Just sharing these videos is better than doing nothing.
Shalom, Do not be troubled by these things (we see only right now, while God sees eternity. Stay focused on the long run not the day your trapped). For God uses all things (the good from His part and the bad from our part) for the good of those that love Him!!! God just let's good and bad collide on this earth to mold us and see who has actually put there trust in Him. For your actions and words show what you trust. If we let Him mold us, by flipping the troubling situations in our life upside down, then everything will turn out very good. But if we are in a constant state of rebellion, it will turn out we are the trouble that would turn any place into hell because of our lack of trust in God... What i would say is this: This has been a problem in the church for a long while. We can't continue telling our children this or that is true. This diminishes there God given autonomy... For if God is sovereign (self-governing, without someone else controlling Him) then so are those made in His image. We can only speak with our children or the children of others about the hope that is within us. This could mean that some of us has discovered reasonable reasons to trust God, that He has made the world and wants a love relationship with us. So they could share this with the children!!! Just never let fear rule you. Do not let your fear, turn you into the dictator of your childrens faith!!! I understand the fear that the children would turn out to be lost. Yet, is see generations that has actually experienced leaving there parents faith as if they had left pharaoh (a dictator).... Pleas, talk about why things are reasonable, instead of you have to believe me... I hope you get my second point above. It's just what i have experienced in my search for God. At this point i have become a firm believer in our LORD and saviour Jesus Christ (from atheïsme and a non religious household). God can do mirraculous things, if we work with Him, instead of standing in His way!!! 🕊❤😇
Yay! So glad to hear your response on this! I watched them when I was younger and listened to a few episodes of their series on this, I have my own thoughts but excited to hear yours Ray!
@@emilytamargo9791 In the original video, Rhett mentioned he prayed a lot in the time of doubt, and it was a long process. Why do you think those prayers didn't work?
@@questionasker8791 It's not really about the prayers not working, prayer isn't a button you press that either works or doesn't work, it's a way of communication with God, and sometimes His answer is wait. He's definitely heard Rhett's prayers, what Rhett has to do is trust that God's will always works out for good, since God is good, even if it doesn't seem like it to us in the moment. I firmly believe that if Rhett and Link takes the time to seek truth and watch Living Waters's videos that they will find answers to many of their questions and maybe even be transformed by the true Gospel, like so many people have - including myself.
1000% Sad that anyone felt this was necessary or appropriate to do. It's really disrespectful of their individual experience and honestly extremely non-Christian imo. Just leave them alone plz thanks
Yet your here listening to Ray, you're defending guys who no longer are christians against a man who pours his whole life to defend the pure gospel and preach?? just leave and follow those two confused souls if you want, but let Ray do what God called him to do, he's doing more than so many silenced christians who don't even bother to address this issues that I'm thankful for him doing so.
Josh L Well didn’t Jesus say He’s the truth the way and the light. The only way to the father is through Me?? Pretty sure that implies that Jesus is literally the only way? So everything else they tried to spice up and throw in there doesn’t mean anything if they reject that. No need for long rants. I’m just stating facts, if you reject Jesus then you go to hell. Not my words, God. What their pointing out is they had the external relationship with Christ, but they didn’t really have it in them. It happens all the time, people think that when they DO things that their saved when only the grace of God can save you when you give your heart to him. Don’t forget that their in a position of influence so their words have so much more weight.
Totality of Scripture I think a lot of Christian parents don’t talk to their kids about Christ. I also don’t think a lot of Christians act like Christians once they’re in their home so the children just see hypocrisy.
Bors de Ganys I’m sure that’s the case in many instances or they see others in the Church who are hypocrites. It plays a part without question. The Church can be a horrible standard bearer and that’s sad. I can attest by my wife’s own experiences. But my comment is based solely on practical application in regard to young children coming to the faith. Unless one is willing to grant that if that same 6yr old child didn’t make their profession at that moment and then died later that evening that that child would be condemned. In other words if they are old enough to be saved then conversely they are also old enough to be lost. Everyone is quick to claim the upside without pondering the down. If a truth claim is true then the converse of that claim is then also true...the grass is green...conversely the grass is not pink. Scripture works the same. Sorry for the rabbit trail there. Not saying you hold these views but I just felt the need to clarify. God Bless.
Totality of Scripture No I absolutely agree. I believe there is an age of accountability and it makes sense that it would vary person to person. For example, I have a hard time believing a child with severe Down syndrome who is unable to grasp more than very simple thoughts won’t be in heaven. I agree with you because my daughter got “saved” at 6 years old and I’m not entirely comfortable with it. Because even at 9 she seems to not really understand her sins. So we have almost daily discussions on the gospel and salvation. I also present her with objections to Christianity and guide her in refuting the claims.
Bors de Ganys mine is 11yrs old and she still doesn’t grasp it fully either. I believe the key to understanding is based on that very words “understands it” which is only found in 1 of the 3 parallel passages of Jesus’ explanation of the parable of the sower. Matt. 13 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path.
Well it depends on what they were taught. Children can be saved, but you're only saved if you start bearing fruit. "Therefore, by their fruits you will know them" Matthew 7:20.
What a terribly misleading title. You didn't address anything they said, why they are wrong, or how they were mistakenly lead away from Christianity. Could you be any more dishonest?
An encounter with God wouldn’t send him “all the way back” because he has never been. He was never a Christian (indwelt by Spirit). I’m an ex-atheist who did have an encounter with God. There’s no going back. It changes you radically, every aspect of you to the core, and it’s forever.
I like a do da chacha 702 I was an atheist. I found God and Jesus through science. But science led me to believe only with my head, not with my heart. The bible says that we should “believe in our hearts” for a reason. It was later on that I started meditating on the cross and its true meaning (I knew I was not fully grasping it) when God opened my spiritual eyes and it hit me. It broke me completely (Zechariah 12:10; Matthew 21:44). That day I received the Holy Spirit when I didnt even know what it was. It changed me to the point that not even my own mother recognizes me anymore (Ezekiel 36:26-27 is not poetry, but a reality). Encounter the Living God is something supernatural and you can’t explain it through science. But you will see the results of it, and they are radical.
Miss Mutton I know that because I live it to this day and the Scripture testifies for it. You swap (not everybody) because you were never a Christian to begin with. If you don’t have His Spirit, you don’t belong to Him -> Romans 8:9:“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.” You’re being deceived by Satan. You speak like any satanist out there. You’re not telling me anything new.
It was years after becoming a Christian that I experienced what reality with the Lord is. You want Him at all times, He is priority, you praise and pray constantly be it voicing it out in your mind and fight the battle with spiritual weapons. Before that I thought Christianity was the best way for me but no desire for more of Him. It was lukewarmness and if he hadn't got a hold of me I would be lost. We all may have doubts and questions being a Christian but not being a follower of Jesus is just waste of time that , hopefully, we'll understand if He allows us not to die without desiring more of Him and serving Him more.
@1234 1 John 2:19 "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us." Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
1234 How sad your life must be that the only source of pleasure you have is bashing people with other beliefs in the youtube comments section... Are you *really* any better than “Bible bashers?” :)
@1234 God has given us all the answers we need to be saved, how can people turn away from him, not follow his teachings and then blame him for letting them go.
For me this is one of the most touching videos from Ray, I was really enthralled by everything he said, I was sorta on the edge of my chair. The young people had interesting names, Angel, Christian, Joy, Ezekiel...whoa... that just shows their Parents had great hopes for them but love of sin and at most times the education system hardened their hearts and caused them to turned from the truth of GOD, who is soo rich in Mercy to us all. With all my heart I say thank you Abba Father.
This breaks my heart for Rett and Link! I wanted to cry, because I have watched them since they first started GMM. I noticed something was up since their content changed and it hasn't had the same heart and intent. #prayforRettandlink
I never thought I would say this but thank you Ray Comfort. I had never heard of Rhett and Link but because of this video I have just watched all of their "Lost years" podcasts and have listened to Rhett and Links thoroughly compelling stories. Again for the first time ever -thank you Ray.
Anytime any of the people he is interviewing gets to that point where they assert they’re a good person I can imagine a bell going off in Ray’s head “ gotcha “. And then he drops the bomb on them “ so you think you’re a good person.” And from that moment on Ray’s on top. I love his tactic. God bless you Ray. Keep doing what you doing. May the peace of Jesus be with you always.
RTrevino16 of course he uses the law. He’s the author of everything Ray’s doing. Am simply saying I like his tactics cuz many people have varying ways of slapping God’s law on people’s faces and I like how Ray does his. That’s all am saying.
"This Jesus thing was very, very messy". 2 Timothy 4:1-5 says 'I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. *3For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.* 5As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.'
This really spoke to me just made me realised how easy it is to do a 180 and fall away from the loving arms of Christ. I want nothing in me or this world separate me from our beautiful saviour Jesus Christ. Thanks you Ray for your boldness and truth. The editing and compilation of these videos is so worth it keep going.
They Came to Christ at 6 and 10 , not really born again more like cultural Christians , this is typical brothers more like them to come , only those that are truly born again will never fall away from Christ. Because no one can snatch them from his hand.
Yes, too many just like this. One must understand sin before they can repent of it. Children may not understand sin. Children should be taught, loved, encouraged, and guided carefully. Adults may not understand sin either until they are taught about the law and see the application to their life. Many evangelistic Christians are more concerned about getting someone to pray a prayer than helping someone understand their sin. It takes a lot of patience to lead someone to Christ. Ezekiel 18:31-32 and Job 33:27-28. Turn and Live!!
I got saved when I was young...I went countless times during alter call to be saved until the day I went with understanding. I was still young in children’s church. I’ve never stopped believing but I did go through a time after high school for a few years where I wasn’t on fire...I was lukewarm. I praise Jesus that he came and got my attention and brought me back to him!! Everything I grew up learning came back to me so incredibly clear. God is so very good. It is true that when a child is brought up in Jesus when they grow old they will not depart from him!! Praise Jesus!
Paula Wilson well good for you but nonetheless many are raised in the church and are not born again it’s supernatural not having anything to do with coming to Christ with understanding I wasn’t raised in any church my conversion was supernatural god changed me instantly when I Cried out to him out of deep desperation and many true born again brothers know what I’m talking about but I hope your conversion is true but again there’s no such thing as being raised in the church and being born again that’s not possible only Christ gives the new birth.
coppcar the new birth is supernatural given by Christ only many know the gospel and still won’t come to Christ he has to give it to you it’s not coming to Christ through knowledge,that’s good to give them knowledge about the word but being born again comes exclusively from Christ.
xxRVxx I went to the alter with understanding of what I was doing. As in I understood I was asking for forgiveness and receiving the Holy Spirit I was raised non denominational. Every part of my life was filled with Jesus. Church isn’t a bad thing like your blanket statement is saying. You should rejoice when someone randomly tells you they are born again. Not question it...
do u think that the reason for them falling out was because they were never born again?? or is it possible for someone to be born again and fall out. cus i know for me ive lived as a christian my whole life and was only practicing it as a religion and because of that, i felt like i fell out many many times. but then there was a point where i truly gave my life to christ and i was born again, and all i could think was, im officially locked in and felt like nothing could ever trump my truth in knowing god. and ill never fall out. if anyones got some insight id love to hear it
My insight: you need to read the Bible every day and contemplate what that 2-edged sword is telling you. As several other commentators here have said, if you are truly born again, you would never spurn the priceless gift of life Jesus by His obedience has provided for us. I was a Christian for decades before following a discipleship teaching that urged this. I wonder if those chaps who confessed to falling away were making a daily study of the living word. Gospel of John is a good place to start.
Surly a god would let people know if they locked in or not properly, and why would it be so difficult to know? why is it so hard and so unsure and so uncertain and difficult? we have a book the Bible to help this process yet even the believers have different beliefs and denominations and views and argue with each other on their own faith and interpretations. Why? Because of the difficult way it’s been written with so maybe contradicting passages and events which claim to be true yet have no evidence we can see in history like evidence of a global flood or evidence millions of Jews in Egypt as slaves were never found of mentioned in any historical books or evidence . Why would a god that loves and wants to saves us all create a book which is so confusing people could get lose and have different denominations within the own faith due to different interpretations and confusing nature of it if he really wants to save us? A book so complicated it’s a mix of many books translated and bit added and left out and good and bad morals acts by god himself? If god is all knowing why knowingly create a world where people can lose faith or where evil exists? And don’t argue because of free will cause the Bible don’t mention free will just decision making. Animals run or hide from predators, these “lower forms of life compared to humans in a biblical view” make decisions everyday regardless of conscious or higher power. God is all knowing so he knew his book would confuse many and still decided to make it this way. Knew when making the world it would result in sin but still decided to make it this way. Decided to make a world where 1000s of other religions can exist, we can choose to be born yet if we choose or get lost to another or lost out of our own very confusing religion or denomination or interpretation of our own religion we burn forever as a punishment for this mistake . He made an imperfect process which could have been done in a much better way. God could visit the whole would right now in person and walk among us and prove to us, end all war and disagreements and suffering and be the undeniable truth… but no we just have a confusing book written a long time ago by many many people which causes it’s own believers to get confused and walk away somtimes. And burning forever if we get this wrong is not a loving or just punishment in anyway if god is all knowing. If he knows all he knows our journey and if we are to get lost yet let’s it happen and burns up forever without saving us if we get lost or get it wrong. He’s all knowing remember . So could have made this better for everyone if he was real
1 John ..written as he says, so you will know you've been born again. Some of the evidences..desire for the word of God, daily repentance of sin, desire for fellowship with other believers.. these may not be perfect, though are definitely present. I was subject to an easy believism gospel as a child..obviously never born again because years of rebellion and no desire for God and obedience. God saved me in the quiet of my home, reading His word..my life changed drastically..you will know.
What a good video Ray and team, thank you so very much! I thank the Lord for the two who believed and who can see their sin. I prayed for them and for the others too.
These men need good biblical instruction. It sounds like they were false converts under very shallow teaching. They couldn’t handle the lack of truth in most American churches, so they are just being honest about what was in their hearts.
I believe they may have been placed into leadership far to young. Paul says you have many instructors or teachers but not many fathers. The church is lacking strong seasoned mature older men who are bold enough to speak truth.
I watched them fall away, and believe it or not, you could feel it. I stopped watching their show several years ago when it became more than obvious, but I have prayed for them since.
I felt their pulling away too, and I can see their joy isn’t the same like it used to be. I can see fear, grasping at what’s around them but it’s crumbling and it’s really sad to see. The end of all their worldly achievements could be where they start to really search Jesus.
@@OliviANDixie Yeah, no. They seem a lot freer now. They came to feel a little bit of regret over who they used to be, but I see them more willing to embrace life and it's mysteries, and it's really touching to see
I watched some episodes of GMM recently after completely forgetting about them for the last 4 or 5 years... It felt like something was missing, wrong somehow with them. Then I did some reading and found that they had fallen away and it all made sense. It's sad.
Essence3761 - I recommend you watch the videos about the deconversions. They were sincere believers, but lost their faith through a long process of learning new information. ruclips.net/video/1qbna6t1bzw/видео.html ruclips.net/video/w1AZhlyoD9s/видео.html
Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, I Timothy 4:1-2 NKJV
1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.
@@janelleroland9678 He should find other arguments because those that he uses make no sene. irreduceble complexity is flawd because it doesnt makes sense with reality.. this is such an easy think to show or demonstrate in evolution. example: the evolution of the eye in aquatic Mollusca. When you study those animals, you can observe that their eyes evolved through time, you can look at clams, Nautilus and octupus... clams are mch simpler and they barely can see anything, nautilu in the other hand can see plenty more, and the octupus has a great eye, with very good vision.. those animals increase not only in vision but also in the complexity of their organisms and nervous system. One adept of the "irreducible complexity" argument may say: "what use would an animal have for half an eye" and i can respond: well, look at the Nautilus, in comparison to squids and octupusses they have hald eyes, their eye i in the middle between clams and octupus, and they are very useful, they are not good at seeing colors or distingishing forms, but they are very useful for it to know where it is gooing, and if theres light in its enyroment, and if a great predator is comming so it can hide in its shell... the defendrors of this argument simply dont understand evolution well enough
@@TasiaGonsalvesBarriero true but our job is not saving them that is up to God the Father drawing them to the Son Jesus.Our job is to witnesses even if no one except we must take the Gospel to the World and to were we live.
@@5gr868 must Christian believe that we are to Share the Gospel.I just meant if we did that like Ray Comfort the World could be different if all Christians share the Gospel in that way.
I don’t get why people think evolution and Christianity are mutually exclusive. As someone that has heavily studied evolution there is no part that is indicative that it wasn’t a means for God to make man.
Living Waters you can choose to believe that. I don’t see how that verse kills the theory. Nobody truly knows. To act like they are mutually exclusive is ignorance no matter which side you’re on. These facts also deter from the main point of having faith. Even if someone whole heartedly believes evolution there is no clear indication of where the first cell came from, which I believe still points towards God.
// Nobody truly knows. // You just called Jesus a liar. And if you're capable of doing that, then you're capable of believing anything you want about evolution and Christianity, whether it's true or not.
@@JoshTheBear -- Jesus said (in response to a question about divorce), "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female...?" [Matt 19:4] So Jesus clearly says that when God created mankind He created the species with both sexes. Evolution played no part in it. Now no one can question that Adam and Eve were fully functioning human beings, not knuckle-dragging, grunting half-apes.
God can’t exist because of Eric The God-Eating Magic Penguin. Since Eric is God-Eating by definition, he has no choice but to eat God. So, if God exists, He automatically ceases to exist as a result of being eaten. Unless you can prove that Eric doesn’t exist, God doesn’t exist. Even if you can prove that Eric doesn’t exist, that same proof will also be applicable to God. There are only two possibilities: either you can prove that Eric doesn’t exist or you can’t. In both cases it logically follows that God doesn’t exist.
SandyScissors98 nonsense, without God, whats your absolute standard for truth? Proof presupposes truth, truth presupposes God, your ability to ask for absolute truth/proof, assumes God exists.
SandyScissors98 notice you cant even argue from an "atheistic" worldview, you have to insert "eric" to formulate an argument. You know God exists but suppress the truth in unrighteousness. Turn to Jesus He died so we may live accept Jesus today as Lord and Savior!
You're doing good work out there. I believe that, even if these people you interviewed walked away brushing off what you've said, God has used you to leave a lasting impression on them. Keep it up- you're doing the Lord's work
The analogy that I have always liked is that you may not remember what you ate for dinner 137 days ago, but you know it fed you and kept you going. They may have brushed off what he said, but it was good for them to hear it. We all need to spread God's word so more people hear it.
All these people in the comments talking about “the great falling away” stop counting these guys out! Don’t give up on people. Jesus doesn’t, and you shouldn’t either. Pray for them instead of judging. The only one that knows the condition of someone’s heart is God.
Austin Harrison i believe the great apostasy will be something worse. What they are going through, considering their words and context, is a process of reaching true faith. Pray for them and let God do His work.
I won’t give up on these two. If they ever believed in Jesus then they are my brothers in Christ. When I used to watch them, I actually felt lead to pray for Link against depression and suicide before. They are under extreme deception. They let their relationship with God take a back seat.
The great falling away is coming. These deconversions are likely just the rumblings before an avalanche. It breaks my heart. I have a friend who has fallen away. He's convinced, so deluded he thinks only atheists are unbiased. His unbelief burns in my heart every day all day. What's worse is his wife is one of the strongest believers I know. Their fresh marriage that had so much hope is in a place none of my friends ever expected.
after being born again, there’s not a doubt in my mind who jesus christ was. i don’t like to pull the not a true christian card a lot but people who “fall away” over something that can be researched is extremely weak to me.
“They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.” 1 John 2:19 ESV “And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day.” John 6:39 ESV
I agree in some aspects, I wouldn't necessarily chalk it up to just being weak. There is sooo much deception out there that even if you manage to get to the bottom of one topic there will be an atheist with a thousand more lies. I once refuted an atheist over and over and then it just reduced to some of the weakest arguments I have ever heard, then became non sensical ie. God calls the sun "sun" in the bible and because he didn't call the sun "star" then that meant he didn't know it was a star. The point being is they dont need to be smart at all, they just need to dog pile and that will get to a person especially after you become more and more mocked by the media and Hollywood, as they try to change the social constructs. To end this waaay to long post. I cannot begin to understand how one can be blind to the absolute insanity that is not just taking place in the world but America as well, while growing. To anyone doubting the scripture, I can sit here and go back and forth with them but I feel like it would be lost on them if they can't walk outside and see it or turn on the tv and see the depraved madness gripping mans heart.
I left the church 14 years ago. I didn’t leave from disbelief. I left because when I had a faith crisis, which I didn’t want, I was told by my pastor to fake it till I make it. I didn’t want to fake it. And then I began to wonder if everyone is faking it.
I'm so incredibly glad that I came to reallY know christ last year...GOD HAS BEEN TO INCREDIBLY GOOD TO ME...even when I cursed his name he still wanted me...wow hes so good. I love my God!
@@mothergoose9383 Then why are you here? Don't you have something better to do than insult religious people in the comments? I believe in free will. If you don't want to believe in any god or religion that is 100% your choice, but don't insult people who do. Also, I am sorry for the way a lot of Christians act, we are not all like that I promise.
Does anyone else get that broken and sad feeling when someone admits they hate God? When they verbally spit in God's face? It tortures me to hear this from the masses 💔💔!
@@tonyjacobs4453 So should God let murderers who are not sorry for their sins into heaven? Heaven will turn into hell then. A good judge punishes sin because it hurts yourself and others. But the God of the Bible is also the most merciful. In all other religions you have to do works to please that god. The God of the Bible is the only one who has done EVERYTHING already for you and only requires you to trust in Jesus and turn from sin. When the Holy Spirit comes to live inside you, He changes your heart, sin actually start disgusting you, and you then you do good because you WANT to and not because you think you're going to get something in return. Your Love becomes sincere and others see that Light inside you.
Thank you confronting this incident. I use to watch them for entertainment because they were at one time friendly content and eventually started to become more worldly and their influence grew along side their lack of any real positive Christ like growth or impact. I pray for these two men and their families that they recieve Christ into their lives and use their current influence to correct and fix their falling away. And i pray he pours out his spirit and redeems Rhett and Link and shows them the absolute truth in Jesus mighty name,amen.
I don't understand when will people see that church, fellowship, nor any religious outward appearance of spirituality does not save nor does it open your eyes. Jesus cant not make it any clearer..."EXCEPT A MAN IS BORN AGAIN HE WILL NOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD"........ we can't tell ppl that their saved, only the SPIRIT can validate that.
Ray you’ve done it again Sir! Thank you may God bless and may his Holy Spirit fuel you, to reach more and more lost souls thank you! With love Dominic and madelyn
He said he would follow truth wherever it leads, when he was led away did he seek to prove the so called truths he was led by? I want to show him the petrified trees standing upright within a geologic column said by science to span millions of years. I’m an arborist if a tree stood for a hundred years after dying it would be miraculous. All of the sedimentary layers in that column must have been quickly deposited. Why would we deny the flood?
Why does one need evidence when one is supposed to find the truth through faith? Why do Christians ever try to engage with the whole empirical thing when the whole point of faith is well, faith? You're allowed to admit that faith will never turn a person away from logic, rationality and science.
@@oneministries4878 Science gladly lesrns. Science is not faith based. The reason a scientific theory or other such explanation is believed is on the basis of its merit through empirical, repeatable evidence. Not due to any evidence less faithfulness. If a scientific finding is found to be out of date due to some inaccuracy, some new finding derived from greater accuracy or evidence, or anything of that sort then once that new finding is sufficiently falsified and tested it is accepted. Not on faith but on evidence. The very basis of science is questioning, the very purpose of science is to gain deeper understanding thus why we constantly grow in our understanding of the world and our scientifically based perception of it changes with time. Science gladly learns for that is its purpose.
Pseudonymous Being it takes a lot of faith to believe a process created with tons of contrary evidence and nothing supporting it. One does not need faith to believe in God the simple act of this message and all of creation supports it.
Praying you both back to Jesus brothers! You're the leaders of your family, you are a light (as believers) in the darkness & Jesus is the light. God bless, & don't look toward the church, other fake believers...."Just trust in the Lord & Savior Jesus Christ".
I was the opposite. Clinging to a life of chaos, drugs alcohol and suicide. I reached out to the friends I had at the time but when your drowning how can you cling to others drowning in their own chaos. The world had nothing I hadn't tried. My relationship with GOD is mine and no one can break what my heart has achieved. If I'm crazy I don't want to go back to this world we call sane.
Yup, same here. But once you actually encounter and know it’s real and Jesus is real it’s hard to believe you can just turn it off and not believe. I would question anyone’s falling away as not really ever knowing Christ. I know that statement is bold but I just don’t see how you can encounter him and walk away.
Yeah i came to faith the same way and when i started getting into college ministry, i was jealous of the girls who had been raised Christian and had never drifted away like i had. They didn't have all this messy terrible sin life to overcome, i thought. But at least one of those girls drifted away. I was like... How could you walk away from the God who saved me from dying, from meaninglessness, from addiction?
May God forgive me for not trying harder to turn her back. I figured if she just walked off into the darkness God would find her and bring her back like He brought me back.
dread assembly amen exactly me too!
I was raised christian, but it took me falling away to become a true believer. Even though I grew up in a house of faith, I had doubts. But once God took me out of my addictions, depression and anger later in life, I truly encountered him for the first time. I agree that I would rather be considered crazy or an extremist for choosing God. At the end of the day, when we all sit before the throne, I will have to answer to God, not man. I think people can be believers, but if it is possible for someone to fall away, than I am convinced they were never truly born again or had that undeniable encounter with God.
Mark Robinson Amen!!
I was not going to watch this entire video but once Ray gets going it's hard to turn it off. Bless the ministry of Living Waters.
Lol, same here! I seen it was nearly 40 mins & thought Id watch maybe half of it at the most. Nope, & it was a blessing to sit through it all

God can’t exist because of Eric The God-Eating Magic Penguin.
Since Eric is God-Eating by definition, he has no choice but to eat God. So, if God exists, He automatically ceases to
exist as a result of being eaten. Unless you can prove that Eric doesn’t exist, God doesn’t exist. Even if you can prove
that Eric doesn’t exist, that same proof will also be applicable to God. There are only two possibilities: either you
can prove that Eric doesn’t exist or you can’t. In both cases it logically follows that God doesn’t exist.

Mr. Comfort: Any family of Christians?
Him: My mom is very religious.
Mr. Comfort: Christian?
Him: Yes sir.
Mr. Comfort: You're listening today because of her prayers.
This made me pause and shed a tear. It reminded me how vitally important it is to dedicate time in prayer to intercede for those in my life who don't know and love Jesus.
Prayer is powerful, my mom died 6 times in the past 10 years and three times on the hospital bed. I prayed each time for God to grant me at least one more day with my mom. She is still with me today, in the name of Jesus.
Man, I don’t know how Ray does it. The patience and kindness is unreal. Being a servant of God is not easy.
Yes, I would love to have his attitude. When I hear about people rejecting God, I get angry. I need to pray to be kinder. Like my husband said to me the other day, "sinners aren't bad, they're just lost". It made me realize that they are like children who haven't been told or shown the correct way.
I think he is so kind because he believes his message fully. Not one of these young men or women really want to go to Hell. Not even the ones with flippant answers. They just aren't really considering what Hell means or how much of God's mercy they walk in every day. None of us have ever encountered this life without some measure of God's grace. We can only imagine what it means to have all that sustained goodness withdrawn from us for eternity. Let your understanding of how little understanding they possess lead you in kindness and love. God bless!
I was once very much like Rhett for the better part of my adult life. I believed in Christ when I was younger but through my desires to live a life that contradicts that of a true christian I decided to live my life as I felt was best for me. I rationalized and thought out many of the questions people have and eventually turned my back on God. I still believed in a god and Jesus but not as a christian should. I was fine with it for many years however I would still identify myself as a christian. I knew it was hypocritical to call myself a christian when I didn't believe the Bible. Much like Rhett I finally was determined to know the truth no matter where it took me. I finally took the time to start reading the Bible for myself. I was going to either disagree completely and be an atheist or believe it. I honestly thought I would find contradictions or problems and just become an atheist with a clear conscience. Slowly but surely God opened my eyes and revealed to me his word and truth through Jesus. I pray that Rhett will accept the truth and that God will be as gracious to him as he has been with me.
We have a TRUE. LOVING GOD! JESUS IS TRULY THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE!

You read with the eyes of the Holy Spirit, i have a similar testimony. Very glad to read this!! 😁🙏
Amen. That’s a good testimony. 😊
I feel for these guys. I realized God was real after going thru my 6th brain surgery. I could have been bitter but i wanted things to get better. I said a prayer for the first time out of desperation and God answered. Since then, he has answered mumerous prayers, but my favorite was after reading psalm37 i prayed for my desire to meet my wife. The next day, a friend and I went out to talk and we both knew and were engaged that night, married 4months later back in 1995😊
"Believe, all things are possible for those who believe"
we complicate our lives so much we become scared to simplify it. God is simply perfect.
So true! Wide is the path to destruction and narrow the way to God's Truth. Most of us want to make God in our image.
Its not how you start the race its how you finish it.
You couldn't have said it better

Wow how sad the Bible said at the end times many will fall away. Thank God I have a very deep love encounter with God. For me to deny God would be like denying my own existence and my soul.

I never knew Rhett and Link were Christian
Shaggy Rogers you didn't know they were christians? I don't even know who they are 😀
Me neither lol
Me neither!!!! Never heard of these guys....
I also never heard of these guys.
That is interesting that you didn't know. Years ago, I had an inkling that Link was just by his demeanor. I looked it up and sure enough they had had a children's ministry on RUclips at some point. They have definitely changed since then.
When one looks at the believers in China and Nigeria how they can worship the Lord and stand firm through all the hardships and persecution. They do not worry about phony. Maybe excess does not do us favors.
It's actually harder to maintain faith in times of excess than in times of agony. In times of pain you have no choice but to have faith, but those who are living in abundance, the temptation of a self serving life style is heavily impressed on individuals. Only the strongest deny the temptations....
Yes and it's interesting that they all bring up the same old reasons and excuses. Just like they are reading a manual.
Revelation 3:17 KJV - Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
@@denniswilkerson5536 I believe that's why the bible tells us to deny ourselves daily and take up the cross. If our environment is comfy, our faith grows weaker, and we in turn grow weaker. It's very rare to find people who willingly deny a life of abundance.
Oh, how insightful. How painfully insightful.
I got goose bumps when the last girl said she doesn't know how to get right with the Lord. She has the actual desire to change. Amazing work praise God.
I WAS EZEQUIEL!!! I had suicidal and murderous thoughts in my mind constantly, I rejected God daily and blasphemed him daily. I smoked Weed daily and popped pills and took acid. I used almost every drug as an escape. God still saved my life in a school shooting and saved me from depression, he released me and broke the chains of bondage so fast all because this girl in my class said “ you guys think God is Whoever you make him” and not even a believer it convicted me. Soon enough I would repent and become born again. I believed in the Lord YESHUA HA’MASSIACH and was saved. I wish the lord would do such a marvelous work like this for everyone. In fact he can and will if you Give it all at the feet of Jesus. PRAISE THE LORD GGTG

Amen exactly
@Gloria Sheppard definitely :) it's joyful when you help bring people to the light 😁
"I'm gonna follow truth wherever it leads." - that's a good attitude that God will bless. I will pray for these two men.Ray points out convincingly that a watered-down message does not lead people to true repentance and salvation in Christ.
Usually when people say this, they don't really mean it.
In addition, they may have been too inoculated to the Gospel. And they don’t know the Holy Spirits’ inside presence so they will still be looking at Jesus in two dimensions. I pray, really not just an idiom, that these two fine young men will be drawn supernaturally, as we all where, to the gospel and repentance and finally salvation with the Holy Spirit sealing them in his love. Look into the eyes of your children guys, you can’t afford to be prideful.or wrong. Please. I love you.
I appreciate how tender and loving Ray Comfort is when he shares the piercing words of God with lost souls!
@@anatoliykodebsky7488 Rhett and Link are despairing becaude they were preached a false gospel instead of truly and completely trusting in Christ Jesus who died for their sins; Ray Comfort is carefully showing them the Truth, which profits himself nothing, and showing them there is hope. That is the definition of tender!
@@anatoliykodebsky7488 If someone genuinely believes the Gospel of Christ, they CAN'T fall away "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Romans 8:38-39
Ray Comfort lovingly shows everyone in this video not his own thoughts or theories, but the pure Word of God, without which no one can be saved. He is gentle, patient, respectful, and he gets people to really think about what they believe. He could just say, "You're all going to hell! You all are wrong about evolution!" But he lovingly, tenderly, shows them the truth: God's Word, not his word.
@@anatoliykodebsky7488 I believe the Bible because every compelling argument I've heard upholds its integrity. Ray Comfort has more than one video debunking evolution, for example. I am a content, peace-filled Christian with no fear for the future because I put my eternal soul in God's hands. I cannot prove the Bible to anyone who will not be persuaded, but the facts are compelling that God is the Creator, that the great Noahic flood actually took place, and that souls can be saved from God's just wrath if they believe solely in Christ, not by works, so that no one may boast.
@@anatoliykodebsky7488Food for thought: ruclips.net/video/t2sMJMXDiH4/видео.html
@@anatoliykodebsky7488 Every created thing around us; think of the moon, the sun... everything perfectly in balance so that we aren't consumed by heat, or frozen solid. A big bang, an explosion, could never produce the order seen today. No one looks at a house and assumes it got there by accident; they know subconsciously that someone designed that house, built it. If it took millions of years to make all that exists today, there would be no life because our blood couldn't wait for a heart to develop to pump it, and our brains couldn't wait for blood... all our systems and all the order we see could only sensibly come from a Designer, and made complete right from the beginning, or nothing would function properly. Furthermore, we have conscious, morality, a sense of right and wrong. Animals don't operate morally. It's an imprint of God's own nature on us that we reason, choose things that seem "right".
Creation and Conscience cannot be explained by a big bang. The Bible's account of creation and other historical accounts can and have been proven and cannot be disproven.
I gave you a recourse in a previous comment for medical and scientific facts that prove the Bible to be true; go ahead and scroll up to give that a look.
I get the feeling, too, that perhaps you don't want to be told the truth, but here it is: All humans are sinners, defying the living God who created them, and He will condemn all to eternal death, UNLESS they believe in Jesus Christ alone who died in the place of sinners. I don't expect to convince you, especially if you don't want to be convinced, but I believe in Christ with all my heart, knowing I can't save myself. You would do well to seek to know Christ too. "If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (sin paid for), you will be saved."
Satan is a liar. He lied to Adam and Eve and he is still lying till this day. My niece became an atheist and had a painful dramatic experience that lead her back to Jesus.
Norma Cortes I love testimonies, do you mind sharing the details? God bless
@@sofisontet7542 My niece was raised in church. When she was in her early 20's she told the Lord to step aside. She got this. She started dealing drugs, carried a gun, started going to bars, became permiscuous. The things that came out of her mouth was disgusting. She would listen to Marilyn Manson music. My heart would break Seeing what she became. I would faithfully pray for her. All hell was breaking loose in her life. She had a boyfriend who took advantage of her and left her in over 20 thousand dollars in debt. She brought a house in her name for them, he ended up living with someone else in that very house. He and his other girlfriend charged things in her name. They had her credit card information. She eventually sold the house to another drug dealer to get her ex out. She met someone else who she fell madly in love with and he used to threaten her life. She couldn't get rid of him. She went home one day threw herself on her knees and cried out to God. She said she threw a white handkerchief and said she gives up she surrenders, she couldn't do it anymore. She gave her life to the Lord. She said her boyfriend stopped calling her all of the sudden. He started seeing someone else. She is now a fireball for Jesus.
I was agnostic for a long time. I've recently been born again and while I still have doubts and things that I cant explain through Christ, I am choosing to believe. If I am wrong, so be it. It doesnt really matter if I turn out to be wrong, haha. But if I am right? The greatest gift and reward awaits me. Everlasting life and love.
That right there is the best reason for faith. If I’m right then great, if I’m wrong, then I’m no worse off than the next guy.
It isn't true faith if you think might be wrong. It means you have doubt just like I do and just like Rhett and Link have some doubt. Hopeful agnostic?
@@daves2058 I’m not saying I think I’m wrong, I’m saying if all you atheists somehow end up being right, I’m no worse off than you are. But if I’m right (and I believe I am) I’m all set whereas most atheists/agnostics/nonbelievers etcetera will have some explaining to do

@@wisevirgin3405 are you saying we shouldn't pray for them?

JayJay_Ava 70x7 they were obviously devout and well learned Christians. Why wouldn’t your god have already shown himself. In fact. To be a Christian, don’t you have to get baptized in the blood and accept him into your heart? (I was baptist for 16 years of my life) Besides that, god should just show himself. Faith is a tool with no use.
@@LowQualityMike That is a lie right out of Satan's mouth. God has shown Himself but they just havent recognized it. And no religion won't save accepting Jesus Christ into your heart is the only thing that will. Being baptized doesn't save you accepting Jesus Christ and turning your life to Him will and that's it. Jesus is the ONLY WAY, ONLY TRUTH, and ONLY LIFE, NO ONE comes to the Father but through Him.
Thanks for this! I have been struggling with what I heard from Rhett and Link since I watched their videos. Their stories made me sad for them, and they renewed my desire to know God more deeply.

'He talks about having pulled his wife and children with him in a sea of uncertainty.' Yet here he says in response to the question, "what happens after you die with": "I don't know." I respect them both for verbalizing their doubts rather than simply acting the Christian like many churchgoers do. The Lord promises to never turn away anyone who genuinely seeks Truth. He is the very definition of all Truth. Prayerfully Rhett and Link will see the scales of deception fall away.

Katarzyna B not everyone in Hollywood are satanic. Don’t you think our amazing God would put people of faith to stand up for Him in there? Watch KJ from the Scariest Movie Ever channel. He’s a humble Christian who worked in Hollywood and now exposes them. Even he says not everyone worships satan. Here are some examples of Christians in Hollywood: Chris Pratt, Sylvester Stalone, Stephan Baldwin, Eric Roberts, Melissa Joan Heart, and more.

candy ackley watch the guys right hand speaking at 2:19 to 2:39. His hand isn’t making that sign on accident.

In other words, gnostic.
The thing about Christianity that's different from religion is in all religion people insert themselves into it.
@@jamesmark1721 True. Most Christians wax and wane through thier faith. It's natural and the Bible speaks of it constantly. No attempt to hide the fact, that faith is like the flame of a burning candle during a windy, stormy night. Considerable attention must be made to keep it burning. Faith is like that.
Terry Blanchard very true
I'm going to take a contrary point of view to yours. That means all of you and it is food for thought.
I had a "God" that was one I created and I ran from the actual God the Father, because of that so called "God" The gospel was the same but it was my perception of it that was wrong. I didn't change the gospel or God, but I did misunderstand and not know who He was and what His design for mankind was, until He shattered that box. And by "box" I mean the limited way I saw Him. The Pharisees had that same problem, but instead of adapting their thinking to Jesus they tried to get Jesus to adapt to their thinking. And that is one way to handle it. The better way is to let Jesus show Himself to you and press in closer, until it matters more than anything else, that was the route that I took.
Then why is it that your interpretation somehow perfectly reflects your political and social views, yet people with opposing views will have the same justification?
The “phony feeling” comes from you being phony yourself. I’ve been that, bc i didn’t carry a consistent intimate relationship with God I began to see others like they were just acting. But the problem wasn’t them, wasn’t God, it was me!
Isamara Ruedas what changed? How’d you get from that point to the one you’re at now?
Well put my friend well put ... I think what you said applies for 99.9 % of the whole world but most are to ashamed or afraid to admit it...

"I started to feel...." was the beginning of the spiral. We want a "feeling".
Yes yes yes yes yes
Feelings change.
Reality doesn't and God is real
Amen. Feelings are not consistent, but God’s truth is true no matter how we feel. This is a great thing, because this means that no matter the circumstances, or how I feel, I can choose to believe God’s truth.
"I started to feel" is the beginning of a false inwardly directed & percieved god, and the end of the biblical God.
Anthony Pierre Yep. Don’t start with how you feel, start with the truth.
This has kind of come to a head recently with Steven Crowder's video on Rhett and Link. I don't like saying it, but it sounds like what especially Link was talking about was "churchianity."
to be honest I totally understand that but I think it's time we stop blaming the church for not always doing what's right and start remember that the church is indeed made of imperfect people and pray for each other, I'm sick of hearing the church shouldn't do that while at the same it's the same logic behind it that made the church do and say certains things toward other christians , I instead blame this on the lack of love from both part first to say things with love and second to understand where each other is coming from even when it's hurt in resume LOVE for each other
@@hilaryxko Well, they are selling an imaginary god. Some people can wake up from that garbage and some are enslaved under the delusion until their entire life is wasted.
Rhett and Link, please keep searching for God, the true God through Jesus Christ. I’ve experienced His presence. I’ve tasted His goodness. If you seek Him with all your heart you will find Him... 🙏🏻❤️
*If you seek Him with all your heart you will find Him.* Isn't that the epitome of confirmation bias? Aren't there more reliable methods to come to truth?
It’s the epitome of truth. I have experienced the presence of God and you would have better luck convincing me that you don’t exist before convincing me that God doesn’t. We don’t need experiences though because the knowledge of God is within us. Our conscience itself bears witness. Light has come into the world but men love darkness because their deeds are evil. Men tell themselves that God doesn’t exist because they want to sin and not feel guilty.
God is not willing that any should perish. Seek and you WILL find. God loves you and sent his Son Jesus to die for your sins so you don’t have to. There is coming a day in which he will judge the world and he declares that “ he will not let the guilty go unpunished”. Admit your guilt, repent, and believe in Jesus. You haven’t known happiness until you have experienced the love of God. The Bible says about God “ In your presence is the fullness of joy, at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” I can testify that you can feel the presence of God and once you do you will never be the same. You may have fun for awhile, drinking, fornicating, or fulfilling other carnal desires, but the hangover always comes and it never fulfills. Jesus said “ if any man drinks of the water that I give him he shall never thirst again”
God bless you, friend
Rhett and Link, I pray you read these.you are snared by your own intelligence. Jesus, the Suffering God, NOT the Harsh God. But if you think you can judge Him realise you cannot be outside of time and space to even view Him. The evidence is from all those who knew Jesus on earth that He called Himself the "I AM". If you truly search for Him look at Bible history in the Old Testament, particularly reading every prophecy about Jesus that came true exactly. Then do what He said to do.
Nothing anything you guys are saying is helping them, because it’s not love. God let’s those he loves but deny him burn in Hell. You won’t even let them express their feelings lol.

Falling away was prophecied both by Jesus when He said the love of many will grow cold in the end times and the apostle Paul also mentioned it in 2Thess.2 when he said a great falling away will happen just before the anti christ is revealed.
Wouldn't people fall away from Christianity in both the case that Christianity is true (because it is prophesied), and the case that Christianity is not true (because people will eventually understand it is an unlikely hypothesis)?
@@questionasker8791 normally when people accept Christ it is bcoz of inner conviction that tells them it is true. A spiritual connection forms between them and God. But bcoz we live in this physical body and this material world, danger and temptation is always present. There are different reasons why a believer may fall from his/her faith they once held dear. Temptations of this life, pressure and trials of life, fear of persecution and suffering. Jesus said the path that leads to life is narrow and difficult to walk but the one that leads to destruction is wide and easy!
David Shosho - Your response has nothing to do with my comment. Do you understand what I meant with my comment?
@@questionasker8791 yes i do understand your question, i answered it indirectly. The first part of your question seems to be hinting towards predestination, which i don't believe in. It's not the prophecy that makes people fall away, it's their own free will bcoz of the reasons i mentioned earlier. For the 2nd part of your question, if it wasn't true to that person, why would they have chosen it in the first place? Of course, in such situation, sooner or later that person will give up.
David Shosho - Okay, you really don’t understand what I meant. Sorry, maybe I wasn’t explaining it right. What I meant to say is that you original comment is equally well explained by “Christianity is true” as it is by “Christianity is false”. The prophecy shouldn’t give us any more confidence that the Bible is true, because if the people were false, we would expect the same result.
That's what happens when you decide to listen to the world instead of the word of God
Scorpion 1771 - Shouldn’t the lessons we learn from the world be directing us to the word of God if the word of God was actually reflective of truth?

laurendd1123 - I don’t think you understand what I mean. If the Bible is the truth, shouldn’t learning about the world reveal the truth similarly as we find it in the Bible?
Scorpion 1771 exactly the enemy slowly and quietly tells you lies , it all starts in the mind if he can get you to believe a lie you will ultimately believe all his lies but we have a weapon which is the Word of God

I really appreciate how you approach this with each conversation and you do it in such a respectable and caring way. You can really see that even if some of them don't agree with you, that they are really listening and that those who are actively seeking were willing to pray with you and you could see that they were open to receive.

“I pulled my wife and my children with me” that is absolutely heartbreaking to hear... and scary.
7.3L - Why is it heartbreaking? And why is it scary?
As someone who has watched Rhett & Link for over 8 years and has always adored the two of them - this truly was the most heartbreaking and scary thing to hear Rhett say. Brought me to tears immediately. May we pray for them both to encounter Jesus before it’s too late.

Mother Goose - I highly recommend you watch Rhett’s original video, because it clarifies that is what he was doing, and why wasn’t able to get to that point anymore. If you don’t believe, you don’t believe. You can’t all of a sudden believe again. It doesn’t work that way, and that is very clear from the original video.
I was so sad to hear about Rhett and Link but I was happy to see that you reached some of those kids. Also it's very good that Rhett and Link are open to return. It shows that they just want the Truth. God will honor their efforts and willingness to find Truth. They will be stronger if they do. So let's Pray for them...
Yes, AMEN!! My daughter was a faith filled believer and turned away because of Rhett and Link. She always watched their broadcast and never told me ! NOW I know WHY.....
She is struggling more now than she ever has in her whole life! Thanks to the foothold the enemy had when they did that. They will be held accountable!
PRAYING for them to recognize Elohim/Father, King and Creator, His Son Jesus and the dunamis power of The Holy Spirit ---then repent.

I'm 48 years old, and I grew up in the church, but no one ever explained salvation to me in the simple terms that Ray does in each video. If you asked me at any point in my life I would have told you I am a Christian, but I was full of doubts, because the world is full of concocted fictions to make us question the Bible, and so very few people exist that can explain it to us as well as Ray does. I've watched dozens of these interviews now, and though they are all very similar, I learn something new every time.
There are so many people out there that need it explained to them so it will make sense, and we are responsible for getting them that explanation. Just sharing these videos is better than doing nothing.
Shalom,
Do not be troubled by these things (we see only right now, while God sees eternity. Stay focused on the long run not the day your trapped).
For God uses all things (the good from His part and the bad from our part) for the good of those that love Him!!!
God just let's good and bad collide on this earth to mold us and see who has actually put there trust in Him.
For your actions and words show what you trust.
If we let Him mold us, by flipping the troubling situations in our life upside down, then everything will turn out very good.
But if we are in a constant state of rebellion, it will turn out we are the trouble that would turn any place into hell because of our lack of trust in God...
What i would say is this:
This has been a problem in the church for a long while.
We can't continue telling our children this or that is true.
This diminishes there God given autonomy...
For if God is sovereign (self-governing, without someone else controlling Him) then so are those made in His image.
We can only speak with our children or the children of others about the hope that is within us.
This could mean that some of us has discovered reasonable reasons to trust God, that He has made the world and wants a love relationship with us.
So they could share this with the children!!!
Just never let fear rule you. Do not let your fear, turn you into the dictator of your childrens faith!!!
I understand the fear that the children would turn out to be lost.
Yet, is see generations that has actually experienced leaving there parents faith as if they had left pharaoh (a dictator)....
Pleas, talk about why things are reasonable, instead of you have to believe me...
I hope you get my second point above.
It's just what i have experienced in my search for God.
At this point i have become a firm believer in our LORD and saviour Jesus Christ
(from atheïsme and a non religious household).
God can do mirraculous things, if we work with Him, instead of standing in His way!!! 🕊❤😇

@@emilytamargo9791 In the original video, Rhett mentioned he prayed a lot in the time of doubt, and it was a long process. Why do you think those prayers didn't work?
@@questionasker8791 It's not really about the prayers not working, prayer isn't a button you press that either works or doesn't work, it's a way of communication with God, and sometimes His answer is wait. He's definitely heard Rhett's prayers, what Rhett has to do is trust that God's will always works out for good, since God is good, even if it doesn't seem like it to us in the moment. I firmly believe that if Rhett and Link takes the time to seek truth and watch Living Waters's videos that they will find answers to many of their questions and maybe even be transformed by the true Gospel, like so many people have - including myself.

Exactly. They did a super cut where they took out all the parts that really got into stuff. Very deceptive editing, which is par for the course here.

He broke the video down into points. How else would you break down a video and not make it literally 2 hours long?
@0 00 which was taken out of contexf?
Josh L
Well didn’t Jesus say He’s the truth the way and the light. The only way to the father is through Me?? Pretty sure that implies that Jesus is literally the only way? So everything else they tried to spice up and throw in there doesn’t mean anything if they reject that. No need for long rants. I’m just stating facts, if you reject Jesus then you go to hell. Not my words, God.
What their pointing out is they had the external relationship with Christ, but they didn’t really have it in them. It happens all the time, people think that when they DO things that their saved when only the grace of God can save you when you give your heart to him. Don’t forget that their in a position of influence so their words have so much more weight.
Been waiting for this video since I saw the video when it came out! Praying for them...thanks for covering this Living Waters!
Heres the main issue with saying that a 6yr old and a 10yr old “got saved”.
Totality of Scripture
I think a lot of Christian parents don’t talk to their kids about Christ. I also don’t think a lot of Christians act like Christians once they’re in their home so the children just see hypocrisy.
Bors de Ganys I’m sure that’s the case in many instances or they see others in the Church who are hypocrites. It plays a part without question. The Church can be a horrible standard bearer and that’s sad. I can attest by my wife’s own experiences.
But my comment is based solely on practical application in regard to young children coming to the faith. Unless one is willing to grant that if that same 6yr old child didn’t make their profession at that moment and then died later that evening that that child would be condemned. In other words if they are old enough to be saved then conversely they are also old enough to be lost. Everyone is quick to claim the upside without pondering the down. If a truth claim is true then the converse of that claim is then also true...the grass is green...conversely the grass is not pink. Scripture works the same. Sorry for the rabbit trail there. Not saying you hold these views but I just felt the need to clarify. God Bless.
Totality of Scripture
No I absolutely agree.
I believe there is an age of accountability and it makes sense that it would vary person to person. For example, I have a hard time believing a child with severe Down syndrome who is unable to grasp more than very simple thoughts won’t be in heaven.
I agree with you because my daughter got “saved” at 6 years old and I’m not entirely comfortable with it. Because even at 9 she seems to not really understand her sins. So we have almost daily discussions on the gospel and salvation. I also present her with objections to Christianity and guide her in refuting the claims.
Bors de Ganys mine is 11yrs old and she still doesn’t grasp it fully either. I believe the key to understanding is based on that very words “understands it” which is only found in 1 of the 3 parallel passages of Jesus’ explanation of the parable of the sower.
Matt. 13
19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path.
Well it depends on what they were taught. Children can be saved, but you're only saved if you start bearing fruit. "Therefore, by their fruits you will know them" Matthew 7:20.
What a terribly misleading title. You didn't address anything they said, why they are wrong, or how they were mistakenly lead away from Christianity. Could you be any more dishonest?
He said the reason they fell away from Christianity because they had a false conversion. I suggest you watch the video again

An encounter with God wouldn’t send him “all the way back” because he has never been. He was never a Christian (indwelt by Spirit). I’m an ex-atheist who did have an encounter with God. There’s no going back. It changes you radically, every aspect of you to the core, and it’s forever.
Daughter of God - So True.
Can u share your experience? Would love to hear how u were saved
I like a do da chacha 702 I was an atheist. I found God and Jesus through science. But science led me to believe only with my head, not with my heart. The bible says that we should “believe in our hearts” for a reason. It was later on that I started meditating on the cross and its true meaning (I knew I was not fully grasping it) when God opened my spiritual eyes and it hit me. It broke me completely (Zechariah 12:10; Matthew 21:44). That day I received the Holy Spirit when I didnt even know what it was. It changed me to the point that not even my own mother recognizes me anymore (Ezekiel 36:26-27 is not poetry, but a reality). Encounter the Living God is something supernatural and you can’t explain it through science. But you will see the results of it, and they are radical.
Amen
Miss Mutton I know that because I live it to this day and the Scripture testifies for it. You swap (not everybody) because you were never a Christian to begin with. If you don’t have His Spirit, you don’t belong to Him -> Romans 8:9:“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.” You’re being deceived by Satan. You speak like any satanist out there. You’re not telling me anything new.
It was years after becoming a Christian that I experienced what reality with the Lord is. You want Him at all times, He is priority, you praise and pray constantly be it voicing it out in your mind and fight the battle with spiritual weapons. Before that I thought Christianity was the best way for me but no desire for more of Him. It was lukewarmness and if he hadn't got a hold of me I would be lost. We all may have doubts and questions being a Christian but not being a follower of Jesus is just waste of time that , hopefully, we'll understand if He allows us not to die without desiring more of Him and serving Him more.
If Jesus has you in His hand, He wont let you go. That's a promise.

@1234 1 John 2:19
"They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us."
Romans 1:20
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

1234 God did not create people for suffering. Suffering exists as a result of sin.
@1234 God has given us all the answers we need to be saved, how can people turn away from him, not follow his teachings and then blame him for letting them go.
For me this is one of the most touching videos from Ray, I was really enthralled by everything he said, I was sorta on the edge of my chair. The young people had interesting names, Angel, Christian, Joy, Ezekiel...whoa... that just shows their Parents had great hopes for them but love of sin and at most times the education system hardened their hearts and caused them to turned from the truth of GOD, who is soo rich in Mercy to us all.

Anytime any of the people he is interviewing gets to that point where they assert they’re a good person I can imagine a bell going off in Ray’s head “ gotcha “.

May the peace of Jesus be with you always.
It's not Ray's tactic. Its Jesus'. Read the gospels. Jesus uses the law. Romans 3
I love what he does too. It is consistent with what the Lord did. We ought to be doing the same every day.
I like this comment.
Ray wrote a book called The Way of the Master. In that book he plotted out that his method is Christ’s method.
RTrevino16 of course he uses the law. He’s the author of everything Ray’s doing. Am simply saying I like his tactics cuz many people have varying ways of slapping God’s law on people’s faces and I like how Ray does his. That’s all am saying.
"This Jesus thing was very, very messy".
2 Timothy 4:1-5 says
'I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. *3For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.* 5As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.'
This really spoke to me just made me realised how easy it is to do a 180 and fall away from the loving arms of Christ. I want nothing in me or this world separate me from our beautiful saviour Jesus Christ. Thanks you Ray for your boldness and truth. The editing and compilation of these videos is so worth it keep going.
There’s something to be said for keeping it simple...the way you articulate the Truth is incredible! Thx Ray for the fine work in Jesus name.
They Came to Christ at 6 and 10 , not really born again more like cultural Christians , this is typical brothers more like them to come , only those that are truly born again will never fall away from Christ. Because no one can snatch them from his hand.
Yes, too many just like this. One must understand sin before they can repent of it. Children may not understand sin. Children should be taught, loved, encouraged, and guided carefully. Adults may not understand sin either until they are taught about the law and see the application to their life. Many evangelistic Christians are more concerned about getting someone to pray a prayer than helping someone understand their sin. It takes a lot of patience to lead someone to Christ. Ezekiel 18:31-32 and Job 33:27-28. Turn and Live!!
I got saved when I was young...I went countless times during alter call to be saved until the day I went with understanding. I was still young in children’s church. I’ve never stopped believing but I did go through a time after high school for a few years where I wasn’t on fire...I was lukewarm. I praise Jesus that he came and got my attention and brought me back to him!! Everything I grew up learning came back to me so incredibly clear. God is so very good. It is true that when a child is brought up in Jesus when they grow old they will not depart from him!! Praise Jesus!
Paula Wilson well good for you but nonetheless many are raised in the church and are not born again it’s supernatural not having anything to do with coming to Christ with understanding I wasn’t raised in any church my conversion was supernatural god changed me instantly when I Cried out to him out of deep desperation and many true born again brothers know what I’m talking about but I hope your conversion is true but again there’s no such thing as being raised in the church and being born again that’s not possible only Christ gives the new birth.
coppcar the new birth is supernatural given by Christ only many know the gospel and still won’t come to Christ he has to give it to you it’s not coming to Christ through knowledge,that’s good to give them knowledge about the word but being born again comes exclusively from Christ.
xxRVxx I went to the alter with understanding of what I was doing. As in I understood I was asking for forgiveness and receiving the Holy Spirit I was raised non denominational. Every part of my life was filled with Jesus. Church isn’t a bad thing like your blanket statement is saying. You should rejoice when someone randomly tells you they are born again. Not question it...
do u think that the reason for them falling out was because they were never born again?? or is it possible for someone to be born again and fall out. cus i know for me ive lived as a christian my whole life and was only practicing it as a religion and because of that, i felt like i fell out many many times. but then there was a point where i truly gave my life to christ and i was born again, and all i could think was, im officially locked in and felt like nothing could ever trump my truth in knowing god. and ill never fall out. if anyones got some insight id love to hear it
My insight: you need to read the Bible every day and contemplate what that 2-edged sword is telling you. As several other commentators here have said, if you are truly born again, you would never spurn the priceless gift of life Jesus by His obedience has provided for us. I was a Christian for decades before following a discipleship teaching that urged this. I wonder if those chaps who confessed to falling away were making a daily study of the living word. Gospel of John is a good place to start.
Surly a god would let people know if they locked in or not properly, and why would it be so difficult to know? why is it so hard and so unsure and so uncertain and difficult? we have a book the Bible to help this process yet even the believers have different beliefs and denominations and views and argue with each other on their own faith and interpretations. Why? Because of the difficult way it’s been written with so maybe contradicting passages and events which claim to be true yet have no evidence we can see in history like evidence of a global flood or evidence millions of Jews in Egypt as slaves were never found of mentioned in any historical books or evidence . Why would a god that loves and wants to saves us all create a book which is so confusing people could get lose and have different denominations within the own faith due to different interpretations and confusing nature of it if he really wants to save us? A book so complicated it’s a mix of many books translated and bit added and left out and good and bad morals acts by god himself? If god is all knowing why knowingly create a world where people can lose faith or where evil exists? And don’t argue because of free will cause the Bible don’t mention free will just decision making. Animals run or hide from predators, these “lower forms of life compared to humans in a biblical view” make decisions everyday regardless of conscious or higher power. God is all knowing so he knew his book would confuse many and still decided to make it this way. Knew when making the world it would result in sin but still decided to make it this way. Decided to make a world where 1000s of other religions can exist, we can choose to be born yet if we choose or get lost to another or lost out of our own very confusing religion or denomination or interpretation of our own religion we burn forever as a punishment for this mistake . He made an imperfect process which could have been done in a much better way. God could visit the whole would right now in person and walk among us and prove to us, end all war and disagreements and suffering and be the undeniable truth… but no we just have a confusing book written a long time ago by many many people which causes it’s own believers to get confused and walk away somtimes. And burning forever if we get this wrong is not a loving or just punishment in anyway if god is all knowing. If he knows all he knows our journey and if we are to get lost yet let’s it happen and burns up forever without saving us if we get lost or get it wrong. He’s all knowing remember . So could have made this better for everyone if he was real
1 John ..written as he says, so you will know you've been born again. Some of the evidences..desire for the word of God, daily repentance of sin, desire for fellowship with other believers.. these may not be perfect, though are definitely present. I was subject to an easy believism gospel as a child..obviously never born again because years of rebellion and no desire for God and obedience.
God saved me in the quiet of my home, reading His word..my life changed drastically..you will know.

What a good video Ray and team, thank you so very much! I thank the Lord for the two who believed and who can see their sin. I prayed for them and for the others too.
These men need good biblical instruction. It sounds like they were false converts under very shallow teaching. They couldn’t handle the lack of truth in most American churches, so they are just being honest about what was in their hearts.
I believe they may have been placed into leadership far to young. Paul says you have many instructors or teachers but not many fathers. The church is lacking strong seasoned mature older men who are bold enough to speak truth.
The more you actually learn about the bible, the further from Christian you become. It's endlessly self-contradictory garbage.

@@janelleroland9678 He should find other arguments because those that he uses make no sene. irreduceble complexity is flawd because it doesnt makes sense with reality.. this is such an easy think to show or demonstrate in evolution. example: the evolution of the eye in aquatic Mollusca.

One adept of the "irreducible complexity" argument may say: "what use would an animal have for half an eye" and i can respond: well, look at the Nautilus, in comparison to squids and octupusses they have hald eyes, their eye i in the middle between clams and octupus, and they are very useful, they are not good at seeing colors or distingishing forms, but they are very useful for it to know where it is gooing, and if theres light in its enyroment, and if a great predator is comming so it can hide in its shell... the defendrors of this argument simply dont understand evolution well enough

@@5gr868 must Christian believe that we are to Share the Gospel.I just meant if we did that like Ray Comfort the World could be different if all Christians share the Gospel in that way.

Using the bible to mock others. How very Christian. Your picture is next to the definition of hypocrite in the dictionary.
@@mothergoose9383 He literally quoted scripture and you feel convicted to call it “mocking” the truth is the truth and you seemingly cant accept it.
@@ricoparadiso I'm not sure you're grasping that scripture is fiction.
I don’t get why people think evolution and Christianity are mutually exclusive. As someone that has heavily studied evolution there is no part that is indicative that it wasn’t a means for God to make man.
Jesus said in the beginning God made them male and female. He killed the silly theory with one sentence.
Living Waters you can choose to believe that. I don’t see how that verse kills the theory. Nobody truly knows. To act like they are mutually exclusive is ignorance no matter which side you’re on. These facts also deter from the main point of having faith. Even if someone whole heartedly believes evolution there is no clear indication of where the first cell came from, which I believe still points towards God.
// Nobody truly knows. //
You just called Jesus a liar. And if you're capable of doing that, then you're capable of believing anything you want about evolution and Christianity, whether it's true or not.
Living Waters I’m not calling Jesus a liar lol. I’m saying Jesus never said “God did not use evolutionary means to create man and woman.”
@@JoshTheBear -- Jesus said (in response to a question about divorce), "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female...?" [Matt 19:4] So Jesus clearly says that when God created mankind He created the species with both sexes. Evolution played no part in it. Now no one can question that Adam and Eve were fully functioning human beings, not knuckle-dragging, grunting half-apes.

God can’t exist because of Eric The God-Eating Magic Penguin.
Since Eric is God-Eating by definition, he has no choice but to eat God. So, if God exists, He automatically ceases to
exist as a result of being eaten. Unless you can prove that Eric doesn’t exist, God doesn’t exist. Even if you can prove
that Eric doesn’t exist, that same proof will also be applicable to God. There are only two possibilities: either you
can prove that Eric doesn’t exist or you can’t. In both cases it logically follows that God doesn’t exist.
SandyScissors98 nonsense, without God, whats your absolute standard for truth?
Proof presupposes truth, truth presupposes God, your ability to ask for absolute truth/proof, assumes God exists.
SandyScissors98 it is because we have faith in existence of god. We do not have faith in the existence of Eric
SandyScissors98 notice you cant even argue from an "atheistic" worldview, you have to insert "eric" to formulate an argument.
You know God exists but suppress the truth in unrighteousness.
Turn to Jesus He died so we may live accept Jesus today as Lord and Savior!
@@jesussaves2131 Didnt disprove it, try again.
I don’t mind the advertisements - anything to keep Living Waters going! 😁
EmchKidsVids Thank you!
I love you guys, I just bought the online course and I'm loving it !
Oh hello! I love your flipbooks
@@JustWOWTrickshots88 Hey, it's neat to think someone would recognize my channel here. Thanks!
I have a channel too 😊
You're doing good work out there. I believe that, even if these people you interviewed walked away brushing off what you've said, God has used you to leave a lasting impression on them. Keep it up- you're doing the Lord's work
The analogy that I have always liked is that you may not remember what you ate for dinner 137 days ago, but you know it fed you and kept you going. They may have brushed off what he said, but it was good for them to hear it. We all need to spread God's word so more people hear it.
I'm praying for them all and I hope you are too.
Would you pray for my husbands salvation also please, his name is wayne. God bless
Jesus saves Praying for Wayne.
@@LivingWaters thank you so much
All these people in the comments talking about “the great falling away” stop counting these guys out! Don’t give up on people. Jesus doesn’t, and you shouldn’t either. Pray for them instead of judging. The only one that knows the condition of someone’s heart is God.
Austin Harrison i believe the great apostasy will be something worse. What they are going through, considering their words and context, is a process of reaching true faith. Pray for them and let God do His work.
Evangelist Robert Presson care to explain, brother?
I won’t give up on these two. If they ever believed in Jesus then they are my brothers in Christ. When I used to watch them, I actually felt lead to pray for Link against depression and suicide before. They are under extreme deception. They let their relationship with God take a back seat.
The great falling away is coming. These deconversions are likely just the rumblings before an avalanche.
It breaks my heart. I have a friend who has fallen away. He's convinced, so deluded he thinks only atheists are unbiased. His unbelief burns in my heart every day all day. What's worse is his wife is one of the strongest believers I know. Their fresh marriage that had so much hope is in a place none of my friends ever expected.
Austin Harrison wake up the Bible is alive and well today the Great Falling away is among us people are losing their faith in God daily
Wow I’ve seen lots of Living waters videos, but this was special, thank you guys and specially THANK THE LORD!!
Ray is incredible----Really loved this one.
Ray does some good work but it's definitely God and the Holy Spirit who deserves praise for all of this :)
after being born again, there’s not a doubt in my mind who jesus christ was. i don’t like to pull the not a true christian card a lot but people who “fall away” over something that can be researched is extremely weak to me.
“They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.”
1 John 2:19 ESV
“And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day.”
John 6:39 ESV
I think they don't want to research it. They want to sweep it under the rug and pretend it will just go away. So sad.
I agree in some aspects, I wouldn't necessarily chalk it up to just being weak. There is sooo much deception out there that even if you manage to get to the bottom of one topic there will be an atheist with a thousand more lies.
I once refuted an atheist over and over and then it just reduced to some of the weakest arguments I have ever heard, then became non sensical ie. God calls the sun "sun" in the bible and because he didn't call the sun "star" then that meant he didn't know it was a star.
The point being is they dont need to be smart at all, they just need to dog pile and that will get to a person especially after you become more and more mocked by the media and Hollywood, as they try to change the social constructs.
To end this waaay to long post. I cannot begin to understand how one can be blind to the absolute insanity that is not just taking place in the world but America as well, while growing. To anyone doubting the scripture, I can sit here and go back and forth with them but I feel like it would be lost on them if they can't walk outside and see it or turn on the tv and see the depraved madness gripping mans heart.
Jesus Christ.
@@MansterBear AMEN AMEN!
I left the church 14 years ago. I didn’t leave from disbelief. I left because when I had a faith crisis, which I didn’t want, I was told by my pastor to fake it till I make it. I didn’t want to fake it. And then I began to wonder if everyone is faking it.
I'm so incredibly glad that I came to reallY know christ last year...GOD HAS BEEN TO INCREDIBLY GOOD TO ME...even when I cursed his name he still wanted me...wow hes so good. I love my God!
AMEN!♥️🙏
Amen sister! I'm so glad I will see you in Heaven one day!
🥳🥳🥳👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Yes! God is Merciful and so Good to us!
Your god. Exactly. The one you invented in your head. There are no real gods.
@@mothergoose9383 Then why are you here? Don't you have something better to do than insult religious people in the comments?
I believe in free will. If you don't want to believe in any god or religion that is 100% your choice, but don't insult people who do.
Also, I am sorry for the way a lot of Christians act, we are not all like that I promise.
Does anyone else get that broken and sad feeling when someone admits they hate God? When they verbally spit in God's face? It tortures me to hear this from the masses 💔💔!
@@Cheryl_Lynn1 Amen
Biblical evidence proving that God is evil by the underlings (on RUclips) a four part video. No doubt God is the most evil thing in all of existence!
@@tonyjacobs4453 So should God let murderers who are not sorry for their sins into heaven? Heaven will turn into hell then. A good judge punishes sin because it hurts yourself and others. But the God of the Bible is also the most merciful. In all other religions you have to do works to please that god. The God of the Bible is the only one who has done EVERYTHING already for you and only requires you to trust in Jesus and turn from sin. When the Holy Spirit comes to live inside you, He changes your heart, sin actually start disgusting you, and you then you do good because you WANT to and not because you think you're going to get something in return. Your Love becomes sincere and others see that Light inside you.
Joy, Angel, Christian and Ezekiel, what wonderful names! It is not a coincidence that Ray spoke with you. Praying for you all.
Mannnnnnnnnn I love GOD!
And he loves you!
Amen 🙏🏼
Amen 🙏🏼 meee tooo thank you Jesus 💯
Amen!
Amen. Jesus is my everything. LORD I believe, help me in my unbelief 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you confronting this incident. I use to watch them for entertainment because they were at one time friendly content and eventually started to become more worldly and their influence grew along side their lack of any real positive Christ like growth or impact. I pray for these two men and their families that they recieve Christ into their lives and use their current influence to correct and fix their falling away. And i pray he pours out his spirit and redeems Rhett and Link and shows them the absolute truth in Jesus mighty name,amen.
I don't understand when will people see that church, fellowship, nor any religious outward appearance of spirituality does not save nor does it open your eyes. Jesus cant not make it any clearer..."EXCEPT A MAN IS BORN AGAIN HE WILL NOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD"........ we can't tell ppl that their saved, only the SPIRIT can validate that.
Ray you’ve done it again Sir! Thank you may God bless and may his Holy Spirit fuel you, to reach more and more lost souls thank you! With love Dominic and madelyn
I’ll be praying for them all. 🙏🏽
Well done!!!! So beautiful.
Wow..."the fruit of the spirit is...patience." What a great example to all of us, me especially.
He said he would follow truth wherever it leads, when he was led away did he seek to prove the so called truths he was led by? I want to show him the petrified trees standing upright within a geologic column said by science to span millions of years. I’m an arborist if a tree stood for a hundred years after dying it would be miraculous. All of the sedimentary layers in that column must have been quickly deposited. Why would we deny the flood?
Why does one need evidence when one is supposed to find the truth through faith? Why do Christians ever try to engage with the whole empirical thing when the whole point of faith is well, faith?
You're allowed to admit that faith will never turn a person away from logic, rationality and science.
He doesn't know the truth
You have faith that what you believe about science is true, when it’s proven false what do you do?
@@oneministries4878
Science gladly lesrns. Science is not faith based. The reason a scientific theory or other such explanation is believed is on the basis of its merit through empirical, repeatable evidence. Not due to any evidence less faithfulness.
If a scientific finding is found to be out of date due to some inaccuracy, some new finding derived from greater accuracy or evidence, or anything of that sort then once that new finding is sufficiently falsified and tested it is accepted. Not on faith but on evidence. The very basis of science is questioning, the very purpose of science is to gain deeper understanding thus why we constantly grow in our understanding of the world and our scientifically based perception of it changes with time. Science gladly learns for that is its purpose.
Pseudonymous Being it takes a lot of faith to believe a process created with tons of contrary evidence and nothing supporting it. One does not need faith to believe in God the simple act of this message and all of creation supports it.
Praying you both back to Jesus brothers! You're the leaders of your family, you are a light (as believers) in the darkness & Jesus is the light. God bless, & don't look toward the church, other fake believers...."Just trust in the Lord & Savior Jesus Christ".
The REAL reasons are presented by Rhett and Link (see their unedited videos). It’s their stories. How presumptuous to suggest you know otherwise.
I see where you’re coming from. Which ones the red pill?
