The fact that those young boys didn't even know that they could go to God directly. Just made my heart so sad how people are so deceived and the Catholic church
Jesus said to Peter, "You are Rock and on this rock I will build my Church." (Matthew 16: 18) Jesus said "build," as in to create a structure. Jesus built His structure on specifically chosen human beings Peter and the apostles. Baptism John 3:5 - “Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” Matthew 28:19 - “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” Confirmation Luke 24:49 - “But stay you in the city of Jerusalem till you be endued with power from on high.” The Eucharist John 6:54 - “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you shall not have life in you.” Sacrament of Penance [Confession] Psalm 41:4 - “Heal, O Lord, my soul, for I have sinned against Thee.” John 20:22-23 - “And with that he breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.’” Anointing of the Sick [Extrem Unction] James 5:14-15 - “Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick man, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him.” Matrimony Matthew 19:4-6 - “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Holy Orders Matthew 10:1 - Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. John 20:22-23 - “And with that he breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.’”
Wow, beautiful! Praise be to God for making such a wonderful thing happen. And kudos to you and to Living Waters for your loving service to God and His kingdom, through the power of Jesus. It's wonderful to even read about such a thing happening.
If anybody wants the truth about the Catholic Church watch Trent Horn , or Father Mike Schmitz , or Bishop Barron , X Catholics are the most uneducated about Catholics because of being poorly taught for 35 years after Vatican 2 there was miscommunication after Vatican 2 , how do I know this , I use to be one of them I was a part of the poorly Catholic educated we were not taught about the faith or the Bible in class it was read at Mass but kids are not going to take the time to learn that , but then as a adult I took the time to read the Bible and the catechism hand and hand and realize they match up with no errors , A X Catholic does not understand Catholic language, Baptisms and Confirmation is when Catholics are born into Christ and confirm to follow Jesus, Catholics are saved grace by the Blood of Jesus on the cross , he paid for our sins , NO we’re in the catechism does it say Catholics are saved by works. , X Catholics only had bad teachings one day a week even Catholic schools were bad , if someone wants Catholic truth they need to listen to Trent Horn or Bishop Barron or Father Mike
Jesus didn't just change me on the inside, he also changed me on the outside. People have seen how I have changed. They know Jesus touched me and changed me. I talk different, dress different, walk different. Glory to his name Amen
That change in you is called Sanctification! That is what James is describing in James 2:20! It can only happen AFTER you've been brought to life by Justification.
Former Catholic here. Please keep evangelizing and sharing the truth in a loving way -- Catholics really need it. I know I sure did. Praise Jesus for saving me! Hallelujah!
I was Catholic all my life and I started questioning some things that just didn’t seem right. I drifted away from the church but I always prayed and believed in God. I prayed and asked God to show me the way and he led me to a Christian Bible Study. I have been born again and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Thank you for the wonderful videos!
@@danielcarriere1958 like the video mentioned, Catholics believe you have to have your sins forgiven by a priest which is not true only Jesus can do that. Catholics also belive you have to do certain things to be saved like being a good person, getting baptized etc. they also have statues of Mary and they treat her like if she was also a God but she was just Jesus mother and we shouldn't worship anyone but Jesus.
@@jugogaming yes, these are some issues I had. Also, when my late husband and I were getting married we didn’t really want to wait six more months. We had been dating for over three years, both independent and had good jobs. I spoke to the deacon at my church to set a wedding date and he said we had to wait six months, unless a child was involved. I abruptly told him that I was not pregnant and how hypocritical the church is. This is what started me doubting many things I saw and heard. Reading and studying the Bible has really opened my eyes.
Sounds like you did not understand the Catholic Church, Jesus started the Catholic Church, everything the church teaches is from the Bible catholic made the Bible Baptism John 3:5 - “Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” Matthew 28:19 - “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” Confirmation Luke 24:49 - “But stay you in the city of Jerusalem till you be endued with power from on high.” The Eucharist John 6:54 - “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you shall not have life in you.” Sacrament of Penance [Confession] Psalm 41:4 - “Heal, O Lord, my soul, for I have sinned against Thee.” John 20:22-23 - “And with that he breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.

The Bible directly links baptism to salvation: Mark 16:16 “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” John 3:5 “Jesus answered, ‘I tell you the truth, unless a man is born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.’” (cf. 3:3: “unless a man is born again …”) Acts 2:38-41 “And Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him.’ And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this crooked generation.’ So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.” (cf. 9:17-18; 1 Corinthians 12:13: both associate the Holy Spirit with baptism) Acts 22:16 “And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.” (cf. 9:17-18) Romans 6:3-4 “Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” 1 Corinthians 6:11 “And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.” Titus 3:5 “He saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit…” 1 Peter 3:21 “Baptism … now saves you …” In Acts 2:38-41 alone we learn that baptism brings: (1) “forgiveness of sins;” (2) the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which no unregenerate person could possess; (3) salvation (“save yourselves”); and (4) inclusion in the rank of saved “souls” (cf. Galatians 3:27). Romans 6:3-4 incorporates the blood and redeeming death of Jesus into baptism by referring to his “death.” So also does the larger passage of 1 Peter 3:14-22; 4:1.
My foster mother disowned me for leaving the Roman Catholic Church and becoming a Christian . My foster sister uninvited me to her wedding in Ireland . May God bless my foster sister and her husband with repentant hearts and minds. Please Almighty God deliver my foster dad from this apostate religion in Jesus Christ I pray, Amen 🙏🏻 It’s too late for my foster mom as she died in anger and bitterness but I am hoping she would have been like the thief on the cross.
Dear, that sounds so terrible 😞 what they did to you. I'm so glad that you were able to see the true gospel of Jesus. That you are able to come out from under the Roman Catholicism (cult) . Stand firm in the Lord and stand in the gap for them. Claim their salvation! You can only do so much, they have to accept the truth and repent to Jesus. Don't let the devil cause pain from this in your life, I know it's hard but give it to God. Just show your family the love of Jesus. This is a great testimony Make sure you share it with people.
@@kirstiegaboury8921 Amen!! It is a cult & it’s hard for some to get out of it bc of their indoctrination. It’s wonderful to read the comments from those who’ve found Jesus ALONE as their Savior!!
I would have told her "your mother" I'm not surprised, the catholics killed the Christians because they didn't want the people to know the truth. There is 1 mediator, Christ is His name not the pope, there is 1 Father and it's not the pope. The 12 statues of the 12 "apostles" are actually 12 old pagan god's that the catholics changed, building churches on old pagan sites, look at Islam, Islam and Roman catholicism has more in common than some would think.

If you believe Jesus took the penalty for sin (ie death) for you, and rose again on the third day, that He now offers you His forgiveness and the gift of eternal Life, and lives to make intercession for you, then you can receive Him as your Saviour and make Him Lord of your life by living for Him and getting to know Him and His will for you by reading His Word, the Bible
Hey there, your church family is praying for you! Ask God to soften your heart and tell Him everything, just be honest and tell Him about your struggles and situations. God loves you and He already knows your heart more than you do, so just be honest with Him Pray as you can, not as you can’t, so if you are struggling to pray, say “God, help me to pray” Or “God, help me to want to pray”
Oh man, something in me just welled up with sorrow when I saw Dante. May he no longer be a part of Dante's inferno, but may God grant him repentance that leads to a knowledge of the truth, that he will come to his senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken him captive to do his will. May God rescue him that he may be born again, and may he ever live in the joy of the Lord.
Something in me welled up as well when I saw Dante. Oh Lord Jesus please reach out to him and show his soul what true love is. All he needs is Jesus and he will be smiling and the devil won’t be able to hold him down. I believe the Lord already is going after him by sending Ray to share the gospel. Everyone pray for his precious soul.
Yeah, Dante looks broken. I agree that the Lord Jesus Christ is drawing him, though! Praying for him. Being broken can be the catalyst to salvation! 🛐✝️
I am standing with you in prayer for DANTE! He feels as if he is nothing...you can see it in his eyes. May he come to the knowledge of how PRECIOUS he is in Gods sight!! xoxox
It is truly disturbing how the Catholic Church does not teach about being "Born Again" and what Jesus' dying on the cross really means. Then how many Catholics don't even read the Bible is astonishing. Then to hear them call themselves Catholic but they don't say they are Christians. When the Gospel of John Clearly shows the Only way to be Saved and to go to Heaven in to Truly Repent of your sins and believe that Jesus died for your sins as a Free Gift because of his, God's Grace not by works, no second man to go through, just a direct line to Jesus! I fear for my family who do not know Christ, who have not been Born Again. Eternity is a very longtime to be anywhere but Heaven.
For your education: Catholics are taught about being born again. That's what Baptism is all about. Practicing Catholics read the Bible all the time. Some of them every day through daily Mass. Catholics are the original Christians. In fact, if it weren't for the Great Schism and Protestantism, there would only be one Christian faith. So, it is implied that by calling oneself Catholic, one is also calling oneself Christian. Catholics also believe that nothing is possible without God's grace, and that works alone can't save us. Catholics also have the Lord's Prayer, they most certainly do pray to God alone.
@@richardgreene6810 Thank you for your reply. I would encourage you to contact Ray Comfort as I know he can better guide you into what he believes are areas where the Catholic Church falls short on salvation.
May the Lord bless you for being humble before him. Most people are too prideful to ask God to show them the truth no matter if it means they deny what they were raised to believe.❤
, if someone wants Catholic truth they need to listen to Trent Horn or Bishop Barron or Father Mike , today Catholics have Bible studies and better education , I’m not here to have people switch churches but i will state inaccurate Catholic statements (like we’re not Christians) we are., I’m saved by Jesus blood on the cross and communion is Holy and sacred because of this verse -John 6:54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. , Catholics follow the Nicene Creed - Baptism John 3:5 - “Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” Matthew 28:19 - “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” Confirmation Luke 24:49 - “But stay you in the city of Jerusalem till you be endued with power from on high.” The Eucharist John 6:54 - “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you shall not have life in you.” Sacrament of Penance [Confession] Psalm 41:4 - “Heal, O Lord, my soul, for I have sinned against Thee.” John 20:22-23 - “And with that he breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.

I grew up Catholic and learned about Jesus and the saints. I was taught that murder is a mortal sin and one that would lead a person to hell. Then when I was in college, I learned that Jesus is the bridge between God and man, and that all of our sins would be forgiven if we repent. The Catholic Church says that a person can be excommunicated if they divorce or if they have an abortion. I always wondered in the back of my mind when I was young, why the Bible said we can be forgiven, but the Catholic Church said a mortal sin can’t be forgiven. I don’t regret growing up in the Catholic faith, because it did provide a good foundation, and I did learn about God and Jesus, but I couldn’t stay in it knowing what I know now.
Carholic church says that Mary is elevated and you should venerate in order to be part of the church. Jesus never venerated His flesh mother Catechism removed exodus 20:4 commandment that u should not bow to any statues. Jesus nor apostles taught praying to people in heaven
Wrong we combined 1 and 2 together catholic commandments are the same as Lutheran nothing removed just combined , pa we don’t worship Marty we honor or venerate that is not worship we worship Jesus at every Mass
@@roses993we don't pray TO saints and Mary. They intercede. When you ask someone to pray for you, are you praying to them? Mary and the saints are very much alive in heaven. Or do you not believe in eternal life?
The Catholic Church DOES NOT teach that mortal sins cannot be forgiven, that's nonsense. That said, you must confess it and seek forgiveness, for if you die in a state of mortal sin, you will surely not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Let no one deceive you concerning this.
For your education: Catholics teach that you can be forgiven for mortal sins. Also, you should know that divorce and abortion are not grounds for excommunication from the Catholic Church. Glad to help.
All of these young men were so receptive to hearing the good news. Truly praying for them and for Dante especially, that he will experience the joy of his salvation
Ray, thank you so much for the work you are continually doing for the furtherance of the Kingdom. When you get home one day I hope you are astounded by the number of people there because of your ministry. You are a true fisher of men… I pray that God continually blesses and protects you.
Hi Ray. My husband & I are Canadian evangelistic Baptists here in the province of Ontario. We thank God for the wonderful privilege of being able to enjoy a weekly Bible study with our pastor & about a dozen others Tuesday mornings through Zoom. I appreciate the convenience because I’m disabled. We do enjoy being able to attend our worship services. Going somewhere for even just a couple of hours is exhausting for me. But worshipping our Father in heaven with other believers certainly makes my suffering worth it!! There’s something I wanted to mention to you though. When you lovingly urge Catholics to read their Bible, they’re going to read the Catholic Bible which, as you know, has had verses removed. Is there some way you can help them to understand, without offending them of course, that their Catholic Bible is not the one to read? I just want to add that we certainly do pray for you & your team daily, & appreciate your serving God there on Huntington Beach, California. We ask God to continue to bless all of you with strength & health. We’re looking forward to one day meeting you all in our REAL home!! My American mother met my Canadian father when they both attended Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. They married in the Institute in ‘30. Mom agreed to move here to Canada & get a Canadian citizenship…..which she did. 😁👍🏻❤️🇨🇦
You are so very right. Each catholic I chat with, I tell them not to read the version of the catholic bible bc it’s been written to fit their agenda. And my heart goes out to you. I totally sympathize with you & how you’re dealing with your disability. Jesus knows what you’re going thru. I have chronic illness & pain & a few years ago, after I’d been to many many drs, Jesus let me know that He knows what’s wrong & it doesn’t matter what any dr misdiagnoses, because He’s the One who holds me in His arms. He’s holding you too. We will meet someday & I look forward to that & to our forever healed bodies. 🙏🙌💚
Hey Estermiller - Catholic here and also from Ontario! You might want to start with discussing why you think the Catholic bible is wrong, what verses have been removed. From my perspective, the reformers in the 1500s removed 7 books from the old testament. So maybe start there. Do some research into why they believe what happened was that Catholics added those seven books. This will require a deep dive into history. You might want to start with why the Greek Septuagint that Jesus used had the 7 books of the Catholic Bible while the Hebrew version did not.
@@danielcarriere1958When those 7 books contradict something said in the other books, it's not the word of God. It is that simple! And also, even catholic traditions contradict the bible, which is inerrant! So it is a big no, there isn't anything to look up in Catholicism but to avoid it!
Thank-you Ray, I often times ponder on how lonely it is being a born again Christian even amongst my church family 💒 It's comforting to know I will have younger siblings in our heavenly home 🥰✝️🙏
I have a friend who grew up Catholic and is now a Protestant Christian. He never opened a Bible until he began attending our church. He told us that the Priests told them not to read the Bible, but to come to the Priest for answers.
@@annb9029 That's good that you are encouraged to read the Bible. I think the ability to do Bible study has changed a lot in the last 20-30 years. At least here in the US. I think it will usher in a positive shift for the Catholic Church.
I'm standing in my home doing the ironing whilst listening to this video , two things that I'd like to share... that both Noah and Dante are such sweet and respectful young me, and they need prayers!!!! I am going to pray for them this entire week starting today Oct 29th ) May God, bring these young men HIS peace..... thanks RAY for all you do! Such admiration for you, love from 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏The Nertherlands
I liked the part where you said about Catholics being unsaved because they are not trusting alone in Christ. And are caught up in the church system, rather than the simplicity of the Gospel. - I'm copying that into my notebook on things to say to unsaved Catholics. Thank you.
@@user-tt6rx1cy4fNot if they’re trusting in their organization, their priests, popes, & Mary. If they are praying to or thru Mary & saints etc, they are not saved. No one is saved if their trust or beliefs are false. It’s sad, but that’s the way it is.
@@annb9029 Baptism doesn’t save you. A church or religion doesn’t save you. If you’re talking to someone who can’t hear you & saying someone (Mary) is sinless besides Jesus, then you can’t be saved. Your trust isn’t in Him ALONE if you do or think that anyone else is sinless.
I just talked to a catholic today leaving the store and i didnt go all the way with the gospel. I asked him was he born again and he didnt know what i mean. I knew i shoulda said note to him. This video encouraged me that the Lord is Merciful and Kind and Loving and answers prayers!!!
Don’t give up. How I saved my mom from the Catholic Church was to point out the Hail Mary and the rosary. I had to ask her, who do the Catholics truly worship mom? And do you think that God the Father needs help answering prayers from a mere human? It took almost a year for her to shake out of it, but now all glory and honor goes to Heavenly Father , for she is a born again, Christian.

Oh dear Noah was so surprised to know he could pray directly to God to forgive his sins. His eyes lit up when Ray explained Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life and no man comes to the father except through me.”

Sounds like you did not understand the Catholic Church, Jesus started the Catholic Church, everything the church teaches is from the Bible catholic made the Bible Baptism John 3:5 - “Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” Matthew 28:19 - “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” Confirmation Luke 24:49 - “But stay you in the city of Jerusalem till you be endued with power from on high.” The Eucharist John 6:54 - “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you shall not have life in you.” Sacrament of Penance [Confession] Psalm 41:4 - “Heal, O Lord, my soul, for I have sinned against Thee.” John 20:22-23 - “And with that he breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.

@@annb9029what are you talking about? Show the bible verses where Jesus taught rosary, praying to people in heaven, praying to statues, veneration of Mary, penances, man made traditions. If you show Me where Jesus taught these man made doctrines, I'll convert to catholic. Spoilers, He didnt
@@annb9029 Let's go back to the Council of Trent in A.D. 1547. The CC proclaimed the sinlessness of Mary as dogma. Can you show me where in the Bible God says Mary is sinless? That statement is contrary to Romans 3:23...There is none righteous, not even one. That includes Mary who is a sinner like the rest of us. Therefore, please don't attend her holy days of obligation which belong to Christ alone. Mary was in need of redemption like the rest of us. She even presented an offering to the Jewish priest as prescribed arising out of her state of sin-Luke 2:22-24; Leviticus 12. Since God never told Catholics to pray to her, they have raised up a demonic counterfeit spirit which has fooled Catholics since forever. All prayers go to Christ alone, only He is worthy. We don't pray to the dead, we don't believe in unbiblical purgatory, their so-called saints have had demonic encounters, including Faustina, Padre Pio and Bernadette. Faustina would talk to the dead in the graveyard, they would also converse with her. She wrote, The Diary, you can read the stories yourself to see the counterfeit spirits at work. Catholicism is full of mysticism and a boat load of false doctrine....... full of anathemas if you dare cross the line. God set me free of this false religion in 2015 and was grateful he opened my eyes.
How wonderful is God. He listens to every podcast and or video clips, because of God using you and the others in your circle to reach out to all who will hear. Thank you Jesus 🙌
Dante touched my heart...he was SO SAD in his heart...I PRAY the Gospel of Jesus Christ becomes the light of salvation for him TODAY! He was so hurting inside...I wish we had a follow up on many of these people...
This sounded familiar. When I told my mother I was leaving the church of Rome, she got very angry, shook her finger at me, and yelled at me. To her mind, being Christian meant being Catholic. After many months she came to see the love my wife, children and I had, and how it had strengthened our marriage to follow Christ instead of following the Catholic Church, and everything was fine between us.
Any parent would be sad to see their child leave their faith. It would go very much the same way in reverse, if a child of a protestant family went to the Catholic church.
@@danielcarriere1958 You wrote: " It would go very much the same way in reverse, if a child of a protestant family went to the Catholic church." I disagree. As a former cradle Catholic, I raised my children in the Christian faith (not the Catholic faith, and not faith in Protestantism). They learned that salvation comes by the grace (undeserved, unmeritable favor) as a gift from God, and that He bestows this gift to all who trust that their sins have been fully remitted by Jesus' propitiation on the cross 2000 years ago. Their trust rests upon Jesus Christ, not upon any denomination. So if one of my adult children said, "I'm going to join the Catholic Church," I would not yell or be angry or shake my finger in their face; I would ask them why, I would make sure they understood the differences between the Catholic faith and the Biblical Christian faith (faith in Jesus), and I would do all I could to help ensure that their faith and trust is in Christ the Head and would not be misplaced upon the Church (the body), and if they could do that and still become a member of the RCC, so be it. There are people in the RCC who have living faith in Christ (not many, but some) and are spiritually regenerated. If I knew that my son or daughter were spiritually reconciled to God and justified by grace alone, through faith apart from their subsequent good works, then I'd be happy for them no matter where the went to church... or even if they didn't belong to any organized church... because I'd know they are members of Christ's invisible church, His body on earth.
Ray, you are so right about paying attention to the music we listen to. When I first came to Christ ten years ago, I knew I was consuming unhealthy, unholy media. I asked God to help me know what I shouldn't be listening to. I was asking for discernment, though I didn't yet know the word for it. Not long after that, I was listening to Pandora while studying and I suddenly had a knot in my stomach. I looked up the artist that had just come on and almost all of their song titles were blatantly satanic. From that point forward, I don't ignore my gut feelings when the Holy Spirit is trying to draw my attention to something. Also, there are so many amazing Christian metal artists to choose from with both chops and sound doctrine.
The nose flare during the prayer and the deep breath of relief he gave made me deeply cry. It made me really feel like the Holy Spirit touched him through your prayer. And I couldnt help but think about the connection between breath and Spirit (ruach.) He took the breath right as you talked about being born again. Idk why, but I felt like you really got through to him. I think because of some of his body language and his facial expressions also.
I wish you would do more videos of us folks who are out here and do believe already. Let us share our testimony on your platorm. You interview the "RESULT" of your hardwork. Doesn't have to be people you've spoken to but just in general, showing the result of sharing the gospel. Its so powerful. That alone leads folks to seek. Thank you for all you do.
Matthew 10:34-36 CSB [34] Don’t assume that I came to bring peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. [35] For I came to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; [36] and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household.
Oh WOW! I know this guy and his testimony. He attends my church. Amazing story. God is so good. Praise God that he chose Thomas to be apart of the kingdom.
Lord hear my prayers. I’m so discouraged as a single mother trying to make it on my own both of my sons are special needs. Jesus help me. I’m constantly struggling to buy groceries, struggling to pay bills I’m overwhelmed Lord but with you by my side Lord I cannot fail. So as I continue to struggle to provide for my children, I keep faith and know a blessing is on the way.❤️
I’ve seen your same comment on every post. I pray you’re being sincere because when someone says the exact same thing, it begins to sound like a bot. Please be honest.
@@dandelion1239Oh my goodness! I was thinking the same. I’ve seen her ‘copy paste’ message in another Christian channel. I do hope she is honest and not just trying to get some undeserving benefit out of it. I’ve seen a lot of deceiving messages through these channels, unfortunately. 😢
This person has been doing this at least since the year 2020 and not just on this YT channel but dozens of others. The person also changes their name. So yes beware.

It always touches my heart to watch these videos. I see some very receptive people that just needed to hear the truth about God's word. Once they hear it, several have wanted the free gift of eternal life that only comes through repentance and belief in Jesus. I try to pray for all of them I see in these videos. No matter what the result of hearing God's word, the seed of truth has been planted. Praise the Lord above!
Amen amen amen!!!!! “Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.” - Titus 1:15 (KJV)
1 Corinthians 4:15 Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
@@Isaac-47517 But looks at the full verse - Jesus says we are to call no man Rabbi or teacher. Clearly he doesn't mean this literally. Plus, whenever we pray for one another, we are interceding for one another. This is specifically what Paul asks us to do in 1 Timothy 2: 1-4. Right? This doesn't compete with verse 5 and 6 that makes it very clear that Christ is the one mediator between God and man because he gave up his life as a ransom for our sins. This establishes the new covenant. No one but Jesus Christ can be mediator in that sense.
Me too!!! That is what drove me out. I was reading and believing the Gospel and then the priest was preaching a different gospel. The Holy Spirit snatched me out of there. I was a devoted R.C. for 20 years. Now saved 2 and half years. Could not be more happy.
Until I was 28 I was Catholic. I took communion every week, went to confession (rarely), prayed the rosary, got confirmed, but never felt like anything was enough. I was always stressed that I wasn’t doing enough to go to Heaven. At age 33, I went to a Calvary Chapel and it was like God spoke through the pastor. When I prayed to accept Jesus I felt a joy and love I never felt. Eighteen years later that was still the best decision I ever made.

Have known and loved several Catholics as friends but was amazed at how little they knew the Bible, preferring instead the Catholic church teachings and documents. Use this space also to ask for prayers for Leroy a drug addict who practices New Age...that he accepts Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Amen!

I'm Catholic. What do I not know about the Bible? Here's one thing that I know YOU don't know: The Bible doesn't say that it is the only infallible authority for Christianity. In fact, it says in the Bible that the Church is the the pillar and bulwark of the truth.
Those two young men were rivited to every word. God bless them. And what an encouragement to you, Ray, to hear the testimony of the young man "snatched out" of catholicism.
Revisionist history. Keep in mind that 95% of people in former times were very poor and illiterate and couldn't read anything put in front of them, so your argument makes no sense. The Catholic Church has been the unceasing and stalwart guardian of the Scriptures from the very beginning of the Church even through the Protestant Rebellion when it was being eviscerated.
The Catholic Church never forbade the reading of the Bible. That's fake history. The Catholics even translated it into Latin so that the common folk of the time could read and understand it. "Oh, but they chained them up in the churches." Yeah, you would chain your Bible up to something too if it cost you half a year's wages to own one.
Praise God for this young man's salvation. Sad to say my dad died as a Catholic and I don't know for sure if he ever accepted Christ. I did share the gospel with my dad and step-mom, but I was 16 at the time and adults sometimes think teens don't know anything. Pray for our youth.
I got really touched by the humble kind of DANTE! let’s all pray together that the power of the gospel of Christ may lead him to the cross and bring the peace of God into his heart that he may show more often his beautiful smile :) „Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.“ John 14:27 KJV
In order to be saved, you must know two things. One is that you are a sinner. (Romans 3:23, Ecclesiastes 7:20) ( You have broken God's law (lying, stealing, hatred, etc..) and because of that you deserve hell, God's punishment for sin (Romans 6:23). You can't saved yourself, and there is nothing good you can do to save yourself (Romans 3:20). But the second thing is, which is the Gospel (good news), is that God became a man, whos name is Jesus, who lived the perfect life for you. He then died on the cross for our sins, paying our penalty, and satisficing God's wrath (2 Corinthians 5:21). He was then buried, and then rose again. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He defeated sin and death. Because of this, we can be forgiven and account as perfectly righteous before God's sight. Being seen as we have never sinned. This gift is received by us sinners, not by being good but by simply receiving it by faith. We are utterly helpless before God, all we can do is come to Him and place our faith in Him and we Will be saved. (John 3:16) (Romans 10:9) (Romans 3:21-26) This gift is eternal and you can NEVER lose it, NOTHING can pluck you out of his hands (John 10:28-30). If your worried about your future sins and failures, don't for God will give you a new heart, and he will change you from the inside out. (Ezekiel 36:26-27) You can't change yourself but God can change you. I pray this message will bless you and touch your heart so you can be certain you will go to heaven. (1 John 5:13)
I have a niece who was doing the same thing. I asked her to get on her knees & confess to God that she knows she’s a sinner. Then ask God to forgive her & tell Jesus she believes in Him alone as her Savior. She did what I asked her to do & in a lil while, she called to tell me she’d suddenly just was overwhelmed & knew He was forgiving her & she was saved! She’s changed so much. Years of praying for her to be saved. I sobbed with joy & so did all of us who’d prayed for her. Please don’t feel that you have to be perfect before you go to Him. No one is!! He’s waiting for you. Just open your heart & let Him know you need Him to save you. His grace & mercy are ALL you need! Read the book of John & then Romans. I’m praying for you.
Ray, I watch your videos consistently. I am so thankful for your ministry. I always pray for each person that you witness to that those who don't believe, will eventually experience conviction and those who receive the good news are truly repentant and commit their lives to Jesus! Keep up the good work, brother!!
I pray for all these boys. Especially the sweet, sad one. I wanted to go thru my TV and give him a hug. Rays dog made him have a genuine smile. This was a great video. Ray, I'm an ex Catholic. When you meet another Catholic, please, please, stress even more than you did with Noah, that they do not need a priest to talk to God. Satan was pretty crafty when he included that part in the Catholic cult. I hope all my brothers and sisters be extra blessed today by our Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ! Thanks Ray!!
I love your channel so much. Thank you, Ray! You are a true blessing. These beautiful young men are truly precious and can see God's word at work in their hearts.
The love I feel in my church, the community. It's a foundation. It's an anchor... but ultimately my trust is in Jesus Christ, not the church. I am Catholic, and I enjoy Ray Comfort's videos. God bless.
What's with the Jewish flag? You have two opposing symbols there. One symbolizes our redeemer and his sacrifice, and the other, those who had him killed and reject him to this day.
@@Asher-99 I’m a Christian and I love and support the Jews. Something clearly you wouldn’t understand until God opens your eyes. The apple of his eye will always be the Jewish people and I love what God loves. Bible prophecy is all about the Jewish people and the nation Israel.
Bless you Mr. Ray, bless your ministry and all you do, bless you Mr. Ray thank you for all you do, your simple message of the Gospel that is comprehensive and full of grace. Peace and blessing be upon you Mr. Ray
wow! that was amazing! Praise God for Thomas' salvation! When he was confronted by the Word of God against the teachings of men, by God's grace he chose to follow God's Word! hope the two other young men repent and trust that Jesus bled and died for their sins!
I was Catholic for 35+ years. I went to Catholic private school from PreK to 8th grade. I did all the sacraments, I always went to mass, took the Eucharist, and confessed my sins to a priest. In 2020 when the pandemic started and the lockdowns started I realized I wasn’t right with God so I started reading my Bible and seeking God out like never before. Then in 2022 my mom (who is still Catholic) gave me a Catholic book about repentance. This book called “The Warning” is a collection of short stories of sinners who end up repenting their sins directly to God (not to a priest) and having an encounter with Jesus. Now I was just thinking these where stories and nothing to it. The book starts out with pretty bad sinners (in my eyes) the where very worldly and into a lot of sin that I was not committing myself. So just like I thought my whole life as a Catholic, I thought, I am a “good” person and Not a sinner like these people surely I am going to heaven. (How prideful I was.) Well near the end of the book, one of the last stories I read was about a Catholic Nun. Im my eyes at that time as a Catholic, the Pope, cardinals, bishops, Priests, and Nuns where all holier than me and could hear from God when I couldn’t. So when I read this story of this nun confessing her sins to God it convicted my heart. You see her sins were less than my sins. She said her sins consisted of not always being nice to her fellow nuns, sometimes she was short tempered with them, she didn’t always do things with love towards them. This made me look at myself in a different light. I suddenly saw that I was a guilty sinner not worthy of heaven and I was currently on a path to eternal death in hell. I started weeping with Godly sorrow of the heart as I realized I was not going to heaven. I just completely broke down. In my head I said a heartfelt prayer. Being truly sorry for my sins and how they hurt God. “Heavenly Father, I am so sorry for sinning against you. Please forgive me.” I was not expecting anything to happen I was just confessing my sins to God because I finally realized the truth of the gospel that I was a guilty sinner and the only way to heaven was by God’s Grace through faith (Ep 2:8). I was completely at his mercy. I was not expecting anything to happen. At the time I was at home in my home office sitting in my office chair. As soon as I finished saying my prayer in my head to God asking for him to forgive me I heard an audible voice that said, “I forgive you.” I immediately recognized that it was Jesus speaking (I don’t know how I knew but I did). He was not there in the physical realm but I could perceive he was standing to my left in the spiritual realm. When he said “I forgive you” this made me weep even more as I knew true forgiveness in that moment. I suddenly felt completely free. I felt overwhelming peace and love and joy. I also saw in a vision Jesus touching my heart. My wife heard some weeping and rushed into my office and said “What is wrong? Are you ok?” I got up to hug her and all I could say through my tears was “Jesus forgave me.” At the time I did not understand what happened but I later realized I was born again in that moment. You see I had believed in Jesus my whole life but I had never truly repented of my sins directly to God. I had always done what the Catholic Church taught which was confess to a priest. I know not everyone will experience that the same way as me. But that is what happened to me. After that day everything changed for me. I literately became a new person. I read my Bible 1-3 hours daily I pray 2-8 hours daily. (Yes I pray all day long.) I stopped watching all the garbage I was watching instead I watch pastors and teachers teach on Jesus and the Bible. I stopped listening to rock music and instead listen to worship music. But the best thing though is being filled with the Holy Spirit. When I was Catholic I always thought I am a “good” person I will probably go to heaven, well maybe to purgatory (which does not exist). But now I know I am a child of God with no doubt in my heart. Now that I know the truth I do not fear death. Romans 8 : 16 - The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 2 Corinthians 5 : 8 - We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. And this is not because I am “good” or righteous or holy. But because of what Jesus did on the cross. He kept the whole law for me. He was sinless for me. He swapped places with me and died for me. It is all about Jesus and how he did it all for us. It is his holiness, righteousness, and he is sinless. So if you are Catholic I ask you to repent directly to God and mean it in your heart. You and I are guilty sinners and we need Jesus to save us. Turn your heart completely to God. Repent. Trust in Jesus alone to save you.
Praise the Lord!! Thank you for sharing your testimony. I pray many Catholics will see your comment. May I ask for advice? I have a few lovely, kind Catholic neighbors and not sure the best way to evangelize as they believe that we are all saved. I have given gospel tracts and books with the gospel inside but would love to have a conversation with them. What is the best way to start?
@@user-no5pm2uv1v the same way Ray does it in the video. No other way works. You have to as gently as you can show that person that they are a sinner. Catholics believe in Jesus already but they don’t understand that they are sinners and must confess their sins directly to God. Their pride that they already have the truth will be the biggest hindrance. (I was the same way.) Avoid talking about the things wrong with the Catholic Church. If fact don’t bring up the Catholic Church at all because they will just get defensive. Most Catholics will say that their faith is in the Catholic Church (instead of saying it is in Jesus) because of the traditions and that it was the first church. Just don’t even talk about that stuff. Avoid it. Just do what Ray does go to their conscience and the 10 commandments. It is the part they are missing. They already understand Grace but don’t understand that they are a sinner that must confess their sins directly to God. They most likely have never confessed their sins directly to God. Just like Ray does start out with their conscience. “Are you a Good person?” They will most likely say yes. Then kindly ask if it is ok to look at how good they are using the 10 commandments. This is where it could go wrong and it is best to watch a lot of Ray’s videos as each person is different and no one way will work. The goal is to as nicely as possible help them to see that they are a sinner. they must look at their own heart and judge their own hearts. You have to get them to judge themselves using God’s standards and from God’s viewpoint. Only then will they have the Godly sorrow needed for true repentance. If you make it to that point tell them to confess their sins directly to God and not to a priest. That is what most Catholics miss and it is because of Pride. They are trusting in their own goodness/righteousness and the fact that they are in the Catholic Church with traditions. (Ask me how I know.) 1) address their conscience “are they a good person” 2) as gently as possible using the 10 commandants and the sermon on the mound Jesus said show that they are a sinner (this is the hardest part and if they are not open to it they will just think you are judging them. Be very gentle and careful here.) 3.) let them know to confess their sins directly to God and not to a priest (1 Tim 2:5 Jesus is the ONLY mediator) 4.) tell them to put all their faith and trust in Jesus because he paid the price for their sins, he was their substitute I have tried many times myself to show Catholics the truth. Just remember it is God’s Grace to give. We can’t give it for him. We can led people to the truth but they will only receive Grace from God if he sees their heart is right and turned towards them. So you are only trying to help that person look at their own heart. It took God 2 years to show me the truth of the gospel. It may take that long or longer for others. Hope this helps. God bless.
@@wearethebody that is very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I will pray for courage and for God to open that conversation for me. God bless!
@@agemoth It doesn’t have a Protestant Message. Go read the book yourself. “The Warning” by Christine Walkins. It is a collection of stories of Catholics having supernatural encounters with Jesus. Everyone in the book was Catholic. Everyone in the book prayed the rosary. Everyone in the book had a moment where it was just them and God. And each one of them in that moment recognized they were a sinner and cried out to God that he would save them. And he did in a supernatural way. At the very end of the book it even has a chapter talking about how everyone will one day be Catholic. (In reality there will be no religion in the end. Because God wants a relationship with his children not religion.) It is a Catholic book sold on the Catholic websites very much for Catholics with a Catholic message. God can use any tool he wants for his purposes of bringing his children to himself. God is not limited to the Catholic Church. Salvation comes from God alone. It is his Grace to give. No man can give out God’s Grace. We are only saved by God’s Grace. God makes those who have humbled themselves, repented of their sins directly to him, and turned their hearts fully to him, a new creation in Christ. (John 3:8, 2 Cor 5:17) James 4:6 [6] But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Romans 3:23-24 [23] for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, [24] and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, Ephesians 2:8-9 [8] For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, [9] not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 1 Timothy 2 : 5 - For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Of all the ways for me to go from Catholic to Christian to become born again, God used a Catholic book on repentance to humble my heart. God has a sense of humor. I had no way to know what was going to happen. But at the time I was seeking God and believing in him and asking for him to reveal the truth to me. Once I humbled myself, knowing that I was a sinner not worthy of heaven, that is when God gave his saving Grace. 1 Timothy 1 : 15 - This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. Luke 5:31-32 [31] And Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. [32] I have not come to call the (self) righteous but sinners to repentance.”
The fact that those young boys didn't even know that they could go to God directly. Just made my heart so sad how people are so deceived and the Catholic church
That one boy, his eyes, looked so sad, I really think that the Holy Spirit touched his heart. Amen
Right, his eyes were full of pain and sorrow. I hope he comes to Christ.
I was catholic and God in his mercy revealed himself to me

If anybody wants the truth about the Catholic Church watch Trent Horn , or Father Mike Schmitz , or Bishop Barron , X Catholics are the most uneducated about Catholics because of being poorly taught for 35 years after Vatican 2 there was miscommunication after Vatican 2 , how do I know this , I use to be one of them I was a part of the poorly Catholic educated we were not taught about the faith or the Bible in class it was read at Mass but kids are not going to take the time to learn that , but then as a adult I took the time to read the Bible and the catechism hand and hand and realize they match up with no errors , A X Catholic does not understand Catholic language, Baptisms and Confirmation is when Catholics are born into Christ and confirm to follow Jesus, Catholics are saved grace by the Blood of Jesus on the cross , he paid for our sins , NO we’re in the catechism does it say Catholics are saved by works. , X Catholics only had bad teachings one day a week even Catholic schools were bad , if someone wants Catholic truth they need to listen to Trent Horn or Bishop Barron or Father Mike
Please pray for Dante. I can’t stop weeping over his sadness. It’s like the devil has a hold on him.

That change in you is called Sanctification! That is what James is describing in James 2:20! It can only happen AFTER you've been brought to life by Justification.
Born again!! Praise Jesus!! We know them by their fruits!
Amen.
Amen. That happens to me everytime I partake in the Eucharist (His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity).
Former Catholic here. Please keep evangelizing and sharing the truth in a loving way -- Catholics really need it. I know I sure did. Praise Jesus for saving me! Hallelujah!
I was Catholic all my life and I started questioning some things that just didn’t seem right. I drifted away from the church but I always prayed and believed in God. I prayed and asked God to show me the way and he led me to a Christian Bible Study. I have been born again and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Thank you for the wonderful videos!
Amen!
Amen God bless you! Jesus is the way the truth and the life :)
What parts of Catholicism did you start questioning?
@@danielcarriere1958 like the video mentioned, Catholics believe you have to have your sins forgiven by a priest which is not true only Jesus can do that. Catholics also belive you have to do certain things to be saved like being a good person, getting baptized etc. they also have statues of Mary and they treat her like if she was also a God but she was just Jesus mother and we shouldn't worship anyone but Jesus.
@@jugogaming yes, these are some issues I had. Also, when my late husband and I were getting married we didn’t really want to wait six more months. We had been dating for over three years, both independent and had good jobs. I spoke to the deacon at my church to set a wedding date and he said we had to wait six months, unless a child was involved. I abruptly told him that I was not pregnant and how hypocritical the church is. This is what started me doubting many things I saw and heard. Reading and studying the Bible has really opened my eyes.
Ex catholic here. I'm always glad to see others from the catholic community come to the truth

The Bible directly links baptism to salvation:
Mark 16:16 “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.”
John 3:5 “Jesus answered, ‘I tell you the truth, unless a man is born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.’” (cf. 3:3: “unless a man is born again …”)
Acts 2:38-41 “And Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him.’ And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this crooked generation.’ So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.” (cf. 9:17-18; 1 Corinthians 12:13: both associate the Holy Spirit with baptism)
Acts 22:16 “And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.” (cf. 9:17-18)
Romans 6:3-4 “Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”
1 Corinthians 6:11 “And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.”
Titus 3:5 “He saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit…”
1 Peter 3:21 “Baptism … now saves you …”
In Acts 2:38-41 alone we learn that baptism brings: (1) “forgiveness of sins;” (2) the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which no unregenerate person could possess; (3) salvation (“save yourselves”); and (4) inclusion in the rank of saved “souls” (cf. Galatians 3:27).
Romans 6:3-4 incorporates the blood and redeeming death of Jesus into baptism by referring to his “death.” So also does the larger passage of 1 Peter 3:14-22; 4:1.

May God bless my foster sister and her husband with repentant hearts and minds.
Please Almighty God deliver my foster dad from this apostate religion in Jesus Christ I pray, Amen 🙏🏻
It’s too late for my foster mom as she died in anger and bitterness but I am hoping she would have been like the thief on the cross.
Dear, that sounds so terrible 😞 what they did to you. I'm so glad that you were able to see the true gospel of Jesus. That you are able to come out from under the Roman Catholicism (cult) . Stand firm in the Lord and stand in the gap for them. Claim their salvation! You can only do so much, they have to accept the truth and repent to Jesus. Don't let the devil cause pain from this in your life, I know it's hard but give it to God. Just show your family the love of Jesus. This is a great testimony Make sure you share it with people.

I would have told her "your mother" I'm not surprised, the catholics killed the Christians because they didn't want the people to know the truth.
There is 1 mediator, Christ is His name not the pope, there is 1 Father and it's not the pope.
The 12 statues of the 12 "apostles" are actually 12 old pagan god's that the catholics changed, building churches on old pagan sites, look at Islam, Islam and Roman catholicism has more in common than some would think.

Hey can you guys pray that God would bring the light of the gospel to my wicked heart and save me.
Pray to God and read the Bible. Tell Him everything.
Deuteronomy 4:29
But if you seek the Lord your God from there, you will find him, if, indeed, you seek him with all your heart and soul.
I will pray for you right now, Noah. You do the same. The Lord is always listening.
And read your Bible, just open and read.
If you believe Jesus took the penalty for sin (ie death) for you, and rose again on the third day, that He now offers you His forgiveness and the gift of eternal Life, and lives to make intercession for you, then you can receive Him as your Saviour and make Him Lord of your life by living for Him and getting to know Him and His will for you by reading His Word, the Bible
Hey there, your church family is praying for you! Ask God to soften your heart and tell Him everything, just be honest and tell Him about your struggles and situations. God loves you and He already knows your heart more than you do, so just be honest with Him
Pray as you can, not as you can’t, so if you are struggling to pray, say
“God, help me to pray”
Or “God, help me to want to pray”
Oh man, something in me just welled up with sorrow when I saw Dante. May he no longer be a part of Dante's inferno, but may God grant him repentance that leads to a knowledge of the truth, that he will come to his senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken him captive to do his will. May God rescue him that he may be born again, and may he ever live in the joy of the Lord.
Something in me welled up as well when I saw Dante. Oh Lord Jesus please reach out to him and show his soul what true love is. All he needs is Jesus and he will be smiling and the devil won’t be able to hold him down. I believe the Lord already is going after him by sending Ray to share the gospel. Everyone pray for his precious soul.
Yeah, Dante looks broken. I agree that the Lord Jesus Christ is drawing him, though! Praying for him. Being broken can be the catalyst to salvation! 🛐✝️
Dante its saved by GOD, i truly know that by the spirit❤
I am standing with you in prayer for DANTE! He feels as if he is nothing...you can see it in his eyes. May he come to the knowledge of how PRECIOUS he is in Gods sight!! xoxox
It is truly disturbing how the Catholic Church does not teach about being "Born Again" and what Jesus' dying on the cross really means. Then how many Catholics don't even read the Bible is astonishing. Then to hear them call themselves Catholic but they don't say they are Christians. When the Gospel of John Clearly shows the Only way to be Saved and to go to Heaven in to Truly Repent of your sins and believe that Jesus died for your sins as a Free Gift because of his, God's Grace not by works, no second man to go through, just a direct line to Jesus! I fear for my family who do not know Christ, who have not been Born Again. Eternity is a very longtime to be anywhere but Heaven.
For your education: Catholics are taught about being born again. That's what Baptism is all about. Practicing Catholics read the Bible all the time. Some of them every day through daily Mass. Catholics are the original Christians. In fact, if it weren't for the Great Schism and Protestantism, there would only be one Christian faith. So, it is implied that by calling oneself Catholic, one is also calling oneself Christian. Catholics also believe that nothing is possible without God's grace, and that works alone can't save us. Catholics also have the Lord's Prayer, they most certainly do pray to God alone.
@@richardgreene6810 Thank you for your reply. I would encourage you to contact Ray Comfort as I know he can better guide you into what he believes are areas where the Catholic Church falls short on salvation.
My relationship with God changed quite a bit after I left Catholicism. It improved so much after I heard the gospel.
May the Lord bless you for being humble before him. Most people are too prideful to ask God to show them the truth no matter if it means they deny what they were raised to believe.❤
, if someone wants Catholic truth they need to listen to Trent Horn or Bishop Barron or Father Mike , today Catholics have Bible studies and better education , I’m not here to have people switch churches but i will state inaccurate Catholic statements (like we’re not Christians) we are., I’m saved by Jesus blood on the cross and communion is Holy and sacred because of this verse -John 6:54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. , Catholics follow the Nicene Creed - Baptism

Why did you leave catholicism?
@@alonamaria279 it is erroneous in several ways
Well, it seems like you were sleeping because the gospel is preached at mass every day.
I grew up Catholic and learned about Jesus and the saints. I was taught that murder is a mortal sin and one that would lead a person to hell. Then when I was in college, I learned that Jesus is the bridge between God and man, and that all of our sins would be forgiven if we repent. The Catholic Church says that a person can be excommunicated if they divorce or if they have an abortion. I always wondered in the back of my mind when I was young, why the Bible said we can be forgiven, but the Catholic Church said a mortal sin can’t be forgiven. I don’t regret growing up in the Catholic faith, because it did provide a good foundation, and I did learn about God and Jesus, but I couldn’t stay in it knowing what I know now.
Carholic church says that Mary is elevated and you should venerate in order to be part of the church. Jesus never venerated His flesh mother
Catechism removed exodus 20:4 commandment that u should not bow to any statues. Jesus nor apostles taught praying to people in heaven
Wrong we combined 1 and 2 together catholic commandments are the same as Lutheran nothing removed just combined , pa we don’t worship Marty we honor or venerate that is not worship we worship Jesus at every Mass
@@roses993we don't pray TO saints and Mary. They intercede. When you ask someone to pray for you, are you praying to them? Mary and the saints are very much alive in heaven. Or do you not believe in eternal life?
The Catholic Church DOES NOT teach that mortal sins cannot be forgiven, that's nonsense. That said, you must confess it and seek forgiveness, for if you die in a state of mortal sin, you will surely not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Let no one deceive you concerning this.
For your education: Catholics teach that you can be forgiven for mortal sins. Also, you should know that divorce and abortion are not grounds for excommunication from the Catholic Church. Glad to help.
Lord, Thank You for Noah. Thank You that he shared his heart with You.
All of these young men were so receptive to hearing the good news. Truly praying for them and for Dante especially, that he will experience the joy of his salvation
That second kid broke my heart. something hurt him. I'm praying for these guys
Ray, thank you so much for the work you are continually doing for the furtherance of the Kingdom. When you get home one day I hope you are astounded by the number of people there because of your ministry. You are a true fisher of men… I pray that God continually blesses and protects you.
😭😭😭
Precious Jesus, what a Savior!
I think that the lovely young man in white has a calling to be a pastor. May the Lord guide him and give him a wonderful family 😊
So beautiful to see the young men in this video who are sensitive to Jesus. Praise God!
God bless you all my brothers and sisters in Christ!
God bless you also 🙏❤
Thank you and God bless you also.❤
Hi Ray. My husband & I are Canadian evangelistic Baptists here in the province of Ontario. We thank God for the wonderful privilege of being able to enjoy a weekly Bible study with our pastor & about a dozen others Tuesday mornings through Zoom. I appreciate the convenience because I’m disabled. We do enjoy being able to attend our worship services. Going somewhere for even just a couple of hours is exhausting for me. But worshipping our Father in heaven with other believers certainly makes my suffering worth it!! There’s something I wanted to mention to you though. When you lovingly urge Catholics to read their Bible, they’re going to read the Catholic Bible which, as you know, has had verses removed. Is there some way you can help them to understand, without offending them of course, that their Catholic Bible is not the one to read? I just want to add that we certainly do pray for you & your team daily, & appreciate your serving God there on Huntington Beach, California. We ask God to continue to bless all of you with strength & health. We’re looking forward to one day meeting you all in our REAL home!! My American mother met my Canadian father when they both attended Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. They married in the Institute in ‘30. Mom agreed to move here to Canada & get a Canadian citizenship…..which she did. 😁👍🏻❤️🇨🇦
Greeting and blessings from southern Ontario. Thanks for sharing! God be praised!
You are so very right. Each catholic I chat with, I tell them not to read the version of the catholic bible bc it’s been written to fit their agenda.
And my heart goes out to you. I totally sympathize with you & how you’re dealing with your disability. Jesus knows what you’re going thru. I have chronic illness & pain & a few years ago, after I’d been to many many drs, Jesus let me know that He knows what’s wrong & it doesn’t matter what any dr misdiagnoses, because He’s the One who holds me in His arms. He’s holding you too. We will meet someday & I look forward to that & to our forever healed bodies. 🙏🙌💚
That is a hard one. People even disagree over the KJV and other Bibles. Sometimes all we can do is pray for them and let God handle it. TC
Hey Estermiller - Catholic here and also from Ontario! You might want to start with discussing why you think the Catholic bible is wrong, what verses have been removed. From my perspective, the reformers in the 1500s removed 7 books from the old testament. So maybe start there. Do some research into why they believe what happened was that Catholics added those seven books.
This will require a deep dive into history. You might want to start with why the Greek Septuagint that Jesus used had the 7 books of the Catholic Bible while the Hebrew version did not.
@@danielcarriere1958When those 7 books contradict something said in the other books, it's not the word of God. It is that simple! And also, even catholic traditions contradict the bible, which is inerrant! So it is a big no, there isn't anything to look up in Catholicism but to avoid it!
Thank-you Ray, I often times ponder on how lonely it is being a born again Christian even amongst my church family 💒
It's comforting to know I will have younger siblings in our heavenly home 🥰✝️🙏
Father I pray for those two young men, that they would be snatched out of darkness into your marvelous light! Please shine on them, Jesus!
I have a friend who grew up Catholic and is now a Protestant Christian. He never opened a Bible until he began attending our church. He told us that the Priests told them not to read the Bible, but to come to the Priest for answers.
I’m Catholic I was never told not to read the Bible I’m in a Bible study at a Catholic Church and it’s read 4 times at each Mass
@@annb9029 That's good that you are encouraged to read the Bible. I think the ability to do Bible study has changed a lot in the last 20-30 years. At least here in the US. I think it will usher in a positive shift for the Catholic Church.
Yes you’re right there was a time after Vatican 2 people were confused it’s much better now
Praise God!! Read ur Bible. NO need for man made traditions and assumptions and doctrine that Jesus nor apostles taught
The catechism tell you every catholic belief and were it can be found in the Bible it’s all biblical
Daddy God please be with those young men
Say what?
Father God.
"Abba" is actually like "Daddy". "Abba, Father..."
I'm standing in my home doing the ironing whilst listening to this video , two things that I'd like to share... that both Noah and Dante are such sweet and respectful young me, and they need prayers!!!! I am going to pray for them this entire week starting today Oct 29th ) May God, bring these young men HIS peace..... thanks RAY for all you do! Such admiration for you, love from 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏The Nertherlands
I liked the part where you said about Catholics being unsaved because they are not trusting alone in Christ. And are caught up in the church system, rather than the simplicity of the Gospel. - I'm copying that into my notebook on things to say to unsaved Catholics. Thank you.
In love, there are many saved catholics.. ❤
Maranatha ❤
@@user-tt6rx1cy4fNot if they’re trusting in their organization, their priests, popes, & Mary. If they are praying to or thru Mary & saints etc, they are not saved. No one is saved if their trust or beliefs are false. It’s sad, but that’s the way it is.
@@user-tt6rx1cy4f Have you been born again? (This is different from being water baptized as a baby)
Yes Catholics are saved by Jesus thru baptism as God commanded
@@annb9029 Baptism doesn’t save you. A church or religion doesn’t save you. If you’re talking to someone who can’t hear you & saying someone (Mary) is sinless besides Jesus, then you can’t be saved. Your trust isn’t in Him ALONE if you do or think that anyone else is sinless.
I just talked to a catholic today leaving the store and i didnt go all the way with the gospel. I asked him was he born again and he didnt know what i mean. I knew i shoulda said note to him. This video encouraged me that the Lord is Merciful and Kind and Loving and answers prayers!!!
Catholics are born again at baptism like the Bible says
@@annb9029yes, but many are lost, as they refuse to follow God properly.
Born again is used to much by us Protestants, we should try using more literate words to stupefy the snobs.
All Christians hsve issues not just Catholics im a educated solid catholic Christian
@@GenericRUclipsGuy what do u think about apostle Paul and his preaching style
This is a God-send. I was talking to my Catholic buddy a couple of days ago about this very subject. I've been encouraged to keep going...
Don’t give up. How I saved my mom from the Catholic Church was to point out the Hail Mary and the rosary. I had to ask her, who do the Catholics truly worship mom? And do you think that God the Father needs help answering prayers from a mere human? It took almost a year for her to shake out of it, but now all glory and honor goes to Heavenly Father , for she is a born again, Christian.

Praying for these two precious young men!!!
Oh dear Noah was so surprised to know he could pray directly to God to forgive his sins. His eyes lit up when Ray explained Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life and no man comes to the father except through me.”
That was a wonderful, "aha!" moment 😀

It’s sad but at least you tried. That’s all we can do. Hopefully, he will start to question things bc of things you said.

@@annb9029what are you talking about? Show the bible verses where Jesus taught rosary, praying to people in heaven, praying to statues, veneration of Mary, penances, man made traditions. If you show Me where Jesus taught these man made doctrines, I'll convert to catholic. Spoilers, He didnt
@@annb9029 Let's go back to the Council of Trent in A.D. 1547. The CC proclaimed the sinlessness of Mary as dogma. Can you show me where in the Bible God says Mary is sinless? That statement is contrary to Romans 3:23...There is none righteous, not even one. That includes Mary who is a sinner like the rest of us. Therefore, please don't attend her holy days of obligation which belong to Christ alone. Mary was in need of redemption like the rest of us. She even presented an offering to the Jewish priest as prescribed arising out of her state of sin-Luke 2:22-24; Leviticus 12. Since God never told Catholics to pray to her, they have raised up a demonic counterfeit spirit which has fooled Catholics since forever. All prayers go to Christ alone, only He is worthy. We don't pray to the dead, we don't believe in unbiblical purgatory, their so-called saints have had demonic encounters, including Faustina, Padre Pio and Bernadette. Faustina would talk to the dead in the graveyard, they would also converse with her. She wrote, The Diary, you can read the stories yourself to see the counterfeit spirits at work. Catholicism is full of mysticism and a boat load of false doctrine....... full of anathemas if you dare cross the line. God set me free of this false religion in 2015 and was grateful he opened my eyes.
How wonderful is God. He listens to every podcast and or video clips, because of God using you and the others in your circle to reach out to all who will hear. Thank you Jesus 🙌
Dante touched my heart...he was SO SAD in his heart...I PRAY the Gospel of Jesus Christ becomes the light of salvation for him TODAY! He was so hurting inside...I wish we had a follow up on many of these people...
This sounded familiar. When I told my mother I was leaving the church of Rome, she got very angry, shook her finger at me, and yelled at me. To her mind, being Christian meant being Catholic. After many months she came to see the love my wife, children and I had, and how it had strengthened our marriage to follow Christ instead of following the Catholic Church, and everything was fine between us.
Any parent would be sad to see their child leave their faith. It would go very much the same way in reverse, if a child of a protestant family went to the Catholic church.
@@danielcarriere1958 You wrote: " It would go very much the same way in reverse, if a child of a protestant family went to the Catholic church."
I disagree. As a former cradle Catholic, I raised my children in the Christian faith (not the Catholic faith, and not faith in Protestantism). They learned that salvation comes by the grace (undeserved, unmeritable favor) as a gift from God, and that He bestows this gift to all who trust that their sins have been fully remitted by Jesus' propitiation on the cross 2000 years ago. Their trust rests upon Jesus Christ, not upon any denomination.
So if one of my adult children said, "I'm going to join the Catholic Church," I would not yell or be angry or shake my finger in their face; I would ask them why, I would make sure they understood the differences between the Catholic faith and the Biblical Christian faith (faith in Jesus), and I would do all I could to help ensure that their faith and trust is in Christ the Head and would not be misplaced upon the Church (the body), and if they could do that and still become a member of the RCC, so be it. There are people in the RCC who have living faith in Christ (not many, but some) and are spiritually regenerated. If I knew that my son or daughter were spiritually reconciled to God and justified by grace alone, through faith apart from their subsequent good works, then I'd be happy for them no matter where the went to church... or even if they didn't belong to any organized church... because I'd know they are members of Christ's invisible church, His body on earth.
@@rexlion4510 Amen! Good response. I agree.
Will pray for your mom

The Holy Spirit would make any born again believer very uncomfortable in at a Roman Catholic mass as it is blasphemous.
Ray, you are so right about paying attention to the music we listen to. When I first came to Christ ten years ago, I knew I was consuming unhealthy, unholy media. I asked God to help me know what I shouldn't be listening to. I was asking for discernment, though I didn't yet know the word for it. Not long after that, I was listening to Pandora while studying and I suddenly had a knot in my stomach. I looked up the artist that had just come on and almost all of their song titles were blatantly satanic. From that point forward, I don't ignore my gut feelings when the Holy Spirit is trying to draw my attention to something.
Also, there are so many amazing Christian metal artists to choose from with both chops and sound doctrine.
C’est tellement beau de voir son amour pour Dieu dans son regard et dans son sourire. Merci Seigneur!
The nose flare during the prayer and the deep breath of relief he gave made me deeply cry. It made me really feel like the Holy Spirit touched him through your prayer. And I couldnt help but think about the connection between breath and Spirit (ruach.) He took the breath right as you talked about being born again. Idk why, but I felt like you really got through to him. I think because of some of his body language and his facial expressions also.
Go Lucy. She's a sweetheart. Great Australian pup💥
I wish you would do more videos of us folks who are out here and do believe already. Let us share our testimony on your platorm. You interview the "RESULT" of your hardwork.

It always touches my heart to watch these videos. I see some very receptive people that just needed to hear the truth about God's word. Once they hear it, several have wanted the free gift of eternal life that only comes through repentance and belief in Jesus. I try to pray for all of them I see in these videos. No matter what the result of hearing God's word, the seed of truth has been planted. Praise the Lord above!
Loved this episode. Lord, bless all three of these precious souls and Ray, your faithful servant, mightily. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Amen!
praise our Lord Jesus Christ!
Matthew 23:9 KJV - And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Amen amen amen!!!!!
“Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.”

1 Corinthians 4:15
Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
only one Father. Paul was not advocating for intermediaries.
@@Isaac-47517 But looks at the full verse - Jesus says we are to call no man Rabbi or teacher. Clearly he doesn't mean this literally. Plus, whenever we pray for one another, we are interceding for one another. This is specifically what Paul asks us to do in 1 Timothy 2: 1-4. Right? This doesn't compete with verse 5 and 6 that makes it very clear that Christ is the one mediator between God and man because he gave up his life as a ransom for our sins. This establishes the new covenant. No one but Jesus Christ can be mediator in that sense.
Today is Father’s Day o no
Me too!!! That is what drove me out. I was reading and believing the Gospel and then the priest was preaching a different gospel. The Holy Spirit snatched me out of there. I was a devoted R.C. for 20 years. Now saved 2 and half years. Could not be more happy.

Me and a lot of people Need to watch this video 🙏
Until I was 28 I was Catholic. I took communion every week, went to confession (rarely), prayed the rosary, got confirmed, but never felt like anything was enough. I was always stressed that I wasn’t doing enough to go to Heaven. At age 33, I went to a Calvary Chapel and it was like God spoke through the pastor. When I prayed to accept Jesus I felt a joy and love I never felt. Eighteen years later that was still the best decision I ever made.
Almost the same here. 🤗
If anybody wants the truth about the Catholic Church watch Trent Horn , or Father Mike Schmitz , or Bishop Barron , X Catholics are the most uneducated about Catholics because of being poorly taught for 35 years after Vatican 2 there was miscommunication after Vatican 2 , how do I know this , I use to be one of them I was a part of the poorly Catholic educated we were not taught about the faith or the Bible in class it was read at Mass but kids are not going to take the time to learn that , but then as a adult I took the time to read the Bible and the catechism hand and hand and realize they match up with no errors , A X Catholic does not understand Catholic language, Baptisms and Confirmation is when Catholics are born into Christ and confirm to follow Jesus, Catholics are saved grace by the Blood of Jesus on the cross , he paid for our sins , NO we’re in the catechism does it say Catholics are saved by works. , X Catholics only had bad teachings one day a week even Catholic schools were bad , if someone wants Catholic truth they need to listen to Trent Horn or Bishop Barron or Father Mike , today Catholics have Bible studies and better education , I’m not here to have people switch churches but i will state inaccurate Catholic statements (like we’re not Christians) we are., I’m saved by Jesus blood on the cross and communion is Holy and sacred because of this verse -John 6:54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. , Catholics follow the Nicene Creed - Baptism

@jlmcsw Awesome. Praise God
I am glad Calvary Chapel makes you feel good. Could you please show me in Scripture where it says we will be saved by good feelings?
Keep up the good work Ray. May the Lord Jesus Christ continue to open up doors for you to share the good news to the lost.
Have known and loved several Catholics as friends but was amazed at how little they knew the Bible, preferring instead the Catholic church teachings and documents. Use this space also to ask for prayers for Leroy a drug addict who practices New Age...that he accepts Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Amen!

I’m Catholic I read the Bible plus it’s read 4 times at each Mass
I'm Catholic. What do I not know about the Bible? Here's one thing that I know YOU don't know: The Bible doesn't say that it is the only infallible authority for Christianity. In fact, it says in the Bible that the Church is the the pillar and bulwark of the truth.
The band Ghost is very antichrist. The third man I felt very sad for. He seems so sad. I pray the Lord will help him and water the seed Ray planted.
Those two young men were rivited to every word. God bless them. And what an encouragement to you, Ray, to hear the testimony of the young man "snatched out" of catholicism.
I think Noah just met one of his heroes!
Wow What a Testimony Brother Amen ! Amen! Praise The Lord Jesus Christ ❤
The reason the RCC forbade the reading of the Bible is that it tells the truth and leads us to The Truth, JESUS, the only Way!
I’m Catholic I read the Bible every day it’s read 4 times at Mass the Catholic Church has never said don’t read the Bible
Revisionist history. Keep in mind that 95% of people in former times were very poor and illiterate and couldn't read anything put in front of them, so your argument makes no sense. The Catholic Church has been the unceasing and stalwart guardian of the Scriptures from the very beginning of the Church even through the Protestant Rebellion when it was being eviscerated.
I went to a full time Catholic school for 7 years and never heard anything from the Bible. It was all the Cath Catechism of lies.
The Catholic Church never forbade the reading of the Bible. That's fake history. The Catholics even translated it into Latin so that the common folk of the time could read and understand it. "Oh, but they chained them up in the churches." Yeah, you would chain your Bible up to something too if it cost you half a year's wages to own one.
Praise God for this young man's salvation. Sad to say my dad died as a Catholic and I don't know for sure if he ever accepted Christ. I did share the gospel with my dad and step-mom, but I was 16 at the time and adults sometimes think teens don't know anything. Pray for our youth.

I got really touched by the humble kind of DANTE! let’s all pray together that the power of the gospel of Christ may lead him to the cross and bring the peace of God into his heart that he may show more often his beautiful smile :)
„Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.“
John 14:27 KJV
Praise God! Thank you Ray you are a true blessing to the Church!
Not all lost are sheeps, but when the shephered found the one who is lost, there will be celebrations in heaven.
There was a cover picture of him on The Economist magazine walking on water and it says Europe's savior.
Did you see that young man taking a deep breath as ray pray. It was like seeing the Holy Spirit coming to him.❤️🔥
Help me be saved I feel so close but then I get lost and confused.I need guidance ❤🙏
Diane, praying for you to find a good Bible-believing and teaching church! That is essential for someone who's being drawn to the truth!
In order to be saved, you must know two things. One is that you are a sinner. (Romans 3:23, Ecclesiastes 7:20) ( You have broken God's law (lying, stealing, hatred, etc..) and because of that you deserve hell, God's punishment for sin (Romans 6:23). You can't saved yourself, and there is nothing good you can do to save yourself (Romans 3:20). But the second thing is, which is the Gospel (good news), is that God became a man, whos name is Jesus, who lived the perfect life for you. He then died on the cross for our sins, paying our penalty, and satisficing God's wrath (2 Corinthians 5:21). He was then buried, and then rose again. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He defeated sin and death. Because of this, we can be forgiven and account as perfectly righteous before God's sight. Being seen as we have never sinned. This gift is received by us sinners, not by being good but by simply receiving it by faith. We are utterly helpless before God, all we can do is come to Him and place our faith in Him and we Will be saved. (John 3:16) (Romans 10:9) (Romans 3:21-26) This gift is eternal and you can NEVER lose it, NOTHING can pluck you out of his hands (John 10:28-30). If your worried about your future sins and failures, don't for God will give you a new heart, and he will change you from the inside out. (Ezekiel 36:26-27) You can't change yourself but God can change you. I pray this message will bless you and touch your heart so you can be certain you will go to heaven. (1 John 5:13)
I have a niece who was doing the same thing. I asked her to get on her knees & confess to God that she knows she’s a sinner. Then ask God to forgive her & tell Jesus she believes in Him alone as her Savior. She did what I asked her to do & in a lil while, she called to tell me she’d suddenly just was overwhelmed & knew He was forgiving her & she was saved! She’s changed so much. Years of praying for her to be saved. I sobbed with joy & so did all of us who’d prayed for her.
Please don’t feel that you have to be perfect before you go to Him. No one is!! He’s waiting for you. Just open your heart & let Him know you need Him to save you. His grace & mercy are ALL you need! Read the book of John & then Romans. I’m praying for you.
Ray, I watch your videos consistently. I am so thankful for your ministry. I always pray for each person that you witness to that those who don't believe, will eventually experience conviction and those who receive the good news are truly repentant and commit their lives to Jesus! Keep up the good work, brother!!
Amen 🙏
Coming from a background in Catholicism it’s the hardest encounter specially when it comes to family
I pray for all these boys. Especially the sweet, sad one. I wanted to go thru my TV and give him a hug. Rays dog made him have a genuine smile. This was a great video. Ray, I'm an ex Catholic. When you meet another Catholic, please, please, stress even more than you did with Noah, that they do not need a priest to talk to God. Satan was pretty crafty when he included that part in the Catholic cult.
I hope all my brothers and sisters be extra blessed today by our Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ! Thanks Ray!!
Nowhere in Catholic teaching does it say that people need a priest to talk to God. Absolutely, nowhere.
Thank you for the video I requested
I pray they come to know our savior Jesus Christ
I’m Catholic I’m saved by Jesus these people are just uneducated
I love your channel so much. Thank you, Ray! You are a true blessing. These beautiful young men are truly precious and can see God's word at work in their hearts.
Praise God 🙌🏻✝️
It is really good to see you.Talk to people, I wish that i could Talk to people with a deep love. I get frustrated because I can't talk that way
Jesus Christ is the only way!
Dante may need deliverance Pastor Comfort ❤
Raymundo Comforto! Gracias. Good job, keep at it. God bless.
The love I feel in my church, the community. It's a foundation. It's an anchor... but ultimately my trust is in Jesus Christ, not the church. I am Catholic, and I enjoy Ray Comfort's videos. God bless.
His eyes and smile 🌸 praise God for reaching him and adding another citizen to heaven ✝️🇮🇱
What's with the Jewish flag? You have two opposing symbols there. One symbolizes our redeemer and his sacrifice, and the other, those who had him killed and reject him to this day.
@@Asher-99 I’m a Christian and I love and support the Jews. Something clearly you wouldn’t understand until God opens your eyes. The apple of his eye will always be the Jewish people and I love what God loves. Bible prophecy is all about the Jewish people and the nation Israel.
Bless you Mr. Ray, bless your ministry and all you do, bless you Mr. Ray thank you for all you do, your simple message of the Gospel that is comprehensive and full of grace. Peace and blessing be upon you Mr. Ray
When Ray said something has stolen your joy… that was powerful and from God
Thank you
wow! that was amazing! Praise God for Thomas' salvation! When he was confronted by the Word of God against the teachings of men, by God's grace he chose to follow God's Word! hope the two other young men repent and trust that Jesus bled and died for their sins!
Thomas was led astray by a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Wonderful young people may the Lord bless them and make them come to Jesus Ray.🙏🙏🙏👑👑👑❤️
I was Catholic for 35+ years. I went to Catholic private school from PreK to 8th grade. I did all the sacraments, I always went to mass, took the Eucharist, and confessed my sins to a priest.
In 2020 when the pandemic started and the lockdowns started I realized I wasn’t right with God so I started reading my Bible and seeking God out like never before.
Then in 2022 my mom (who is still Catholic) gave me a Catholic book about repentance. This book called “The Warning” is a collection of short stories of sinners who end up repenting their sins directly to God (not to a priest) and having an encounter with Jesus. Now I was just thinking these where stories and nothing to it. The book starts out with pretty bad sinners (in my eyes) the where very worldly and into a lot of sin that I was not committing myself. So just like I thought my whole life as a Catholic, I thought, I am a “good” person and Not a sinner like these people surely I am going to heaven. (How prideful I was.)
Well near the end of the book, one of the last stories I read was about a Catholic Nun. Im my eyes at that time as a Catholic, the Pope, cardinals, bishops, Priests, and Nuns where all holier than me and could hear from God when I couldn’t. So when I read this story of this nun confessing her sins to God it convicted my heart. You see her sins were less than my sins. She said her sins consisted of not always being nice to her fellow nuns, sometimes she was short tempered with them, she didn’t always do things with love towards them.
This made me look at myself in a different light. I suddenly saw that I was a guilty sinner not worthy of heaven and I was currently on a path to eternal death in hell. I started weeping with Godly sorrow of the heart as I realized I was not going to heaven. I just completely broke down. In my head I said a heartfelt prayer. Being truly sorry for my sins and how they hurt God.
“Heavenly Father, I am so sorry for sinning against you. Please forgive me.”
I was not expecting anything to happen I was just confessing my sins to God because I finally realized the truth of the gospel that I was a guilty sinner and the only way to heaven was by God’s Grace through faith (Ep 2:8). I was completely at his mercy. I was not expecting anything to happen. At the time I was at home in my home office sitting in my office chair. As soon as I finished saying my prayer in my head to God asking for him to forgive me I heard an audible voice that said, “I forgive you.” I immediately recognized that it was Jesus speaking (I don’t know how I knew but I did). He was not there in the physical realm but I could perceive he was standing to my left in the spiritual realm. When he said “I forgive you” this made me weep even more as I knew true forgiveness in that moment. I suddenly felt completely free. I felt overwhelming peace and love and joy. I also saw in a vision Jesus touching my heart.
My wife heard some weeping and rushed into my office and said “What is wrong? Are you ok?”
I got up to hug her and all I could say through my tears was “Jesus forgave me.”
At the time I did not understand what happened but I later realized I was born again in that moment. You see I had believed in Jesus my whole life but I had never truly repented of my sins directly to God. I had always done what the Catholic Church taught which was confess to a priest.
I know not everyone will experience that the same way as me. But that is what happened to me. After that day everything changed for me. I literately became a new person. I read my Bible 1-3 hours daily I pray 2-8 hours daily. (Yes I pray all day long.) I stopped watching all the garbage I was watching instead I watch pastors and teachers teach on Jesus and the Bible. I stopped listening to rock music and instead listen to worship music.
But the best thing though is being filled with the Holy Spirit.
When I was Catholic I always thought I am a “good” person I will probably go to heaven, well maybe to purgatory (which does not exist). But now I know I am a child of God with no doubt in my heart. Now that I know the truth I do not fear death.
Romans 8 : 16 - The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
2 Corinthians 5 : 8 - We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
And this is not because I am “good” or righteous or holy. But because of what Jesus did on the cross. He kept the whole law for me. He was sinless for me. He swapped places with me and died for me. It is all about Jesus and how he did it all for us. It is his holiness, righteousness, and he is sinless.
So if you are Catholic I ask you to repent directly to God and mean it in your heart. You and I are guilty sinners and we need Jesus to save us. Turn your heart completely to God. Repent. Trust in Jesus alone to save you.
Praise the Lord!! Thank you for sharing your testimony. I pray many Catholics will see your comment. May I ask for advice? I have a few lovely, kind Catholic neighbors and not sure the best way to evangelize as they believe that we are all saved. I have given gospel tracts and books with the gospel inside but would love to have a conversation with them. What is the best way to start?
Lovely testimony, but I am confused! How can a supposedly 'Catholic' book have such a 'Protestant' message??
@@user-no5pm2uv1v the same way Ray does it in the video. No other way works. You have to as gently as you can show that person that they are a sinner. Catholics believe in Jesus already but they don’t understand that they are sinners and must confess their sins directly to God. Their pride that they already have the truth will be the biggest hindrance. (I was the same way.)
Avoid talking about the things wrong with the Catholic Church. If fact don’t bring up the Catholic Church at all because they will just get defensive. Most Catholics will say that their faith is in the Catholic Church (instead of saying it is in Jesus) because of the traditions and that it was the first church. Just don’t even talk about that stuff. Avoid it. Just do what Ray does go to their conscience and the 10 commandments. It is the part they are missing. They already understand Grace but don’t understand that they are a sinner that must confess their sins directly to God. They most likely have never confessed their sins directly to God.
Just like Ray does start out with their conscience. “Are you a Good person?”
They will most likely say yes. Then kindly ask if it is ok to look at how good they are using the 10 commandments. This is where it could go wrong and it is best to watch a lot of Ray’s videos as each person is different and no one way will work.
The goal is to as nicely as possible help them to see that they are a sinner. they must look at their own heart and judge their own hearts. You have to get them to judge themselves using God’s standards and from God’s viewpoint. Only then will they have the Godly sorrow needed for true repentance. If you make it to that point tell them to confess their sins directly to God and not to a priest.
That is what most Catholics miss and it is because of Pride. They are trusting in their own goodness/righteousness and the fact that they are in the Catholic Church with traditions. (Ask me how I know.)
1) address their conscience “are they a good person”
2) as gently as possible using the 10 commandants and the sermon on the mound Jesus said show that they are a sinner (this is the hardest part and if they are not open to it they will just think you are judging them. Be very gentle and careful here.)
3.) let them know to confess their sins directly to God and not to a priest (1 Tim 2:5 Jesus is the ONLY mediator)
4.) tell them to put all their faith and trust in Jesus because he paid the price for their sins, he was their substitute
I have tried many times myself to show Catholics the truth. Just remember it is God’s Grace to give. We can’t give it for him. We can led people to the truth but they will only receive Grace from God if he sees their heart is right and turned towards them. So you are only trying to help that person look at their own heart.
It took God 2 years to show me the truth of the gospel. It may take that long or longer for others. Hope this helps. God bless.
@@wearethebody that is very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I will pray for courage and for God to open that conversation for me. God bless!
@@agemoth It doesn’t have a Protestant Message. Go read the book yourself. “The Warning” by Christine Walkins. It is a collection of stories of Catholics having supernatural encounters with Jesus. Everyone in the book was Catholic. Everyone in the book prayed the rosary. Everyone in the book had a moment where it was just them and God. And each one of them in that moment recognized they were a sinner and cried out to God that he would save them. And he did in a supernatural way. At the very end of the book it even has a chapter talking about how everyone will one day be Catholic. (In reality there will be no religion in the end. Because God wants a relationship with his children not religion.)
It is a Catholic book sold on the Catholic websites very much for Catholics with a Catholic message. God can use any tool he wants for his purposes of bringing his children to himself.
God is not limited to the Catholic Church.
Salvation comes from God alone. It is his Grace to give. No man can give out God’s Grace. We are only saved by God’s Grace.
God makes those who have humbled themselves, repented of their sins directly to him, and turned their hearts fully to him, a new creation in Christ. (John 3:8, 2 Cor 5:17)
James 4:6
[6] But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
Romans 3:23-24
[23] for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, [24] and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
Ephesians 2:8-9
[8] For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, [9] not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
1 Timothy 2 : 5 - For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Of all the ways for me to go from Catholic to Christian to become born again, God used a Catholic book on repentance to humble my heart. God has a sense of humor. I had no way to know what was going to happen. But at the time I was seeking God and believing in him and asking for him to reveal the truth to me. Once I humbled myself, knowing that I was a sinner not worthy of heaven, that is when God gave his saving Grace.
1 Timothy 1 : 15 - This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
Luke 5:31-32
[31] And Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. [32] I have not come to call the (self) righteous but sinners to repentance.”
BLESS GOD!
Wonderful video !!! Thank You so much !!! God Bless !!!
