I was one of those atheists a decade ago who believed everything I heard from anti Christian FB pages and such. I mocked Ray and did all the nasty things one would expect from a pseudo intellectual atheist. For that, I am sorry. Many years and many seeds planted later, I finally got saved the end of last year. GOD is GREAT 🙏🏻
Awesome to hear! Yep I remember stealing a leather basketball from a visiting American Christian team that came to New Zealand to our school when their ball rolled off the court. I am sure they must have prayed for me because it was about that same year that I became Christian! :)
Matthew 19:25-26 KJV - When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Wow. This was extremely powerful for me. Especially the ending. God is good. God gives us a life we couldve never imagined for ourselves. God is so good and I cant stop saying it. God is so amazing and good. We are truly blessed by Him. Truly!
I am very impressed with Ray here. His show, and he is LISTENING, allowing the others to speak and the guest to tell his story. TV talk show hosts could learn from him.
I am so underwhelmed, and I believe in Jesus. This man was convinced by Lee Strobel's "The Case for Christ"? Didn't Lee Strobel interview guys with Ph.D's in religion (or other fields not related to archaeology or science), but not in either actual science or actual archaeology?
@@craigstevens9351 choice is a weird word to use in that last sentence. It is ultimately for God to judge who goes to heaven or hell based on the choice the person has made: either one of faith or of rejection.
@@melindamercier6811 hows that weird? we know what Gods will is. He wants everyone to get born again. God doesnt want anyone to go to Hell. its not Gods choice.
In 2014 I was trying to get this Christian girl I met to watch the four horsemen video with me as I was an atheist . She told me that night how she came to Christ and I appreciated her story but said I’d never be a person of faith because I could never believe all those stories In an old book. The next morning the Lord gripped me up In a way that shook me to the core and as fast as I could I text that girl and asked if could go to church with her , that something was wrong . That evening on a Wednesday night i went with her to the weekly mid week Bible study and as the music started to play and everyone began to sing I looked around confused and when I looked up at the lyrics and started to read them the conviction of all my sin came upon me and I began to weep as I read the lyrics of a loving Savior who came to take my sin and died for me . I’ve never been the same . More and more aware of my sin and more and more in awe of Jesus Christ our risen LORD . Amen 🙏🏼
I cannot explain how joyful and piercing it is to see all these testimonies and it's similarly to mine and others around me who who are thousands of miles away (as well as cultures away) indeed Jesus is for the whole world... To save and redeem. Thank God for you sister/brother
Ray has endured a lot of unfair attacks from atheists like Dawkins and the way he has responded to it has just increased my respect for him. Josh Timonen accepting Christ and entering the path is just awesome, I hope we will see more of him and I hope he will endure until the end with the rest of us. This is one of my absolute favourite channels and I hope we get to keep it until leaving this world one way or another. God bless you guys, I'll see you on the other side of all this.
This is very encouraging. Almost daily I watch my son just soak in Atheism videos... one after another. From "educational" ones to completely mocking Christians. I started adult life as an atheism so my hope is he one day becomes the most hard core apologists of The Faith.
Have you tried to recommend him videos from Christian sources, historians, apologists etc. that give counter-responses to the videos he’s seeing mocking Christian beliefs?
I was an atheist my whole life, hated everything related to God, especially Christians, but the intellectual side of Christianity and the evidence is what finally got me to seek God and come to Christ.
Buy him good apologetics books! I was an atheist for years, but someone put good apologetics books in my hand. Never stop praying for him. Remind him that you want eternal life for him, and that it can only be found in Jesus Christ. Never give up.
"One thing I know, once I was blind, but now I see." There's a truth in my life. I was a lifelong atheist for 55 years. Then one day, I decided I was going to collect all the lies I'd been told about God, as an atheist mind you, by reading the Bible! Really. I thought I would go straight to the closest thing to God, his word, and just lift the things I could throw in my Christian family's face about all the lies "they" told me. I found out, the lies did not originate with my family, but more than 100 churches my parents checked out in one service or another, trying to find a fit for them. They were Christian, I was not. I became an atheist right after leaving home and discovering there was such a thing. Back to finding the lies I'd been told -- by time I had read from Genesis to Revelation (which took me a few months) I was so floored by this multi-faceted God that was so STEADY, I didn't know what to think. I knew one thing: none of the churches I'd been to ever explained God like that! Well, of course not. No one spends hours every day in a church for months to hear the Bible read. Or nearly no one. I decided to read it again, and before I hit the New Testament the 2nd time, I just suddenly KNEW that God was really REAL. That period where I was reading to prove other people liars was my fog. Little did I know at the time I was being led. So happy to hear of another soul joining the ranks of the godly. Great interview. Thank you for posting this!
I love you Ray. Your ministry has blessed me in so many ways. I am a 52 years old ex-transwoman from Malaysia who is living my true life. My Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ has healed and delivered me for His glory. Only God can do this for anyone who chooses to believe that He is able. Alleluia!
Thanks for telling us this ! I have a friend from the gay community who used to be a prostitute for the gangs who has come to the Lord and I just love to hear your testimony. God bless you so much! That is so encouraging. I am from New Zealand, I have been to Malaysia only for a short trip when I was in Singapore in 1987. You are so precious to Him.
I actually disagree on that part. I am a Christian, and the reason I need God is because I am weak. Actually Paul Washer says in a recent video that strong men don't need God. Strong men don't need to pray. And it is true.
@@Hotsport_RugbySimulations doesn't make sense to me. Idk, maybe I've just seen it more in my life. I didn't grow up around Christians I grew up in a small town where men worked hard jobs in the copper mines. Strong men. Im not saying it's a good thing. They are strong minded and strong willed. So they don't need God. It's to their own detriment. I'd rather be a weak man that needs God rather than a strong man that doesn't, and go to hell.
@@Hotsport_RugbySimulations they don't need God, they do for salvation, but not for day to day life. I need God for EVERYTHING I do. Or I fall apart. There's a lot of strong men out there who don't need God to live a great life. They go through life just fine. I am not one of those men. And I am glad I'm not
“…All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, ‘God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.’ Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” 1Peter 5:5b-7. It looks like God has kept His promise and exalted Ray❤
I've had Dawkins on my prayer list for some time, and I pray that he will see the light of Jesus and be part of the Beloved. Hopefully, he will watch this video, and will see that the gospel of Jesus Christ is beautiful.
I was raised Pentecostal, and as a young child, I had questions about if God was really real . Well, God blessed me with seeing his miracles with my family to let me know he was real ❤️ 🙏 and I thank him for that cause I was the type of kid who it had to be proven to me and make sense. So again, thank you, God, for what you did 🙏 !!!! The very first miracle was when me my mom and twin sisters were heading to town on a back paved country road when we heard a noise and the pavement being ripped up . My mom looked at me and then my sisters and said, "Start praying, girls, and of course they did while I had my eyes on my mom ." She started praying and then speaking in tongues and tried to put her hands on the wheel, but she acted like it was hot and just raised her hands up and prayed louder .Now, all this time, I'm looking at the stering wheel and the breaks . All of a sudden, I noticed the steering wheel was moving like someone was driving it . It slowly moved our car toward the side of the road with ease and came to a gentle stop without my mom's assistance, and then she started thanking God. Later, we found out that the drive line broke, and that's when it really hit all of us cause that is what controls your wheels . We were going about 50 or more when this happened. God took the steering wheel and took us to safety and put us on the side of the road, and gently stopped us . This is when it hit me that there's really a God, and I saw his miracle 🙏. God bless you all 🤗❤ !!!!
I so know what youre talking about... I came across an unmarked roadworks (well, it was night and while I wasnt as inebriated as my passengers, i probably shouldnt have been driving!). At the time I was becoming interested in God, but, I didnt exactly pursue Him. Anyhow, my passengers screamed, something invisible grabbed the wheel, took the car around the roadworks and into and then out of a field and stopped the car when we were back on the road. When they calmed down my passengers congratulated me and all i could say was it wasnt my hands on the steering wheel. Jesus? Angels? I dont know, but, i knew by then there is a spiritual realm so i was grateful but not shocked. My friends just thought i was joking, but, i set them straight...Somebody Else saved our lives that night! Thanks for sharing...i hadnt thought about that incident for years. God is SO merciful and gracious.
For you who believe God is still in the miracle business, please pray for Susan Blackmore. She is an atheist author friend of Dawkins. She once was studying the occult as an atheist skeptic but still had a demonic out of body experience. She was a bit ridiculed by her atheist colleagues for believing it was real and flipped around and decided it was all in her head. She was messing with stuff she shouldn’t have been. As a new believer God gave me a dream that led to me learning what happened to her. I emailed her and witness to her and she emailed back a couple times. That has been 17 but I still pray for her when I think about it. A more powerful kingdom needs to become real to her. And the King who loves her.
Living Waters, I wanted to thank y’all. I had gotten up at 3:30am to watch the coronation of King Charles with y’all. I won and received my Evidence Study Bible! Thank you Ray and Living Waters! I’ve wanted one for years and I’m on a tight budget. Thank you again. God bless!
I truly love this channel. I've been watching things related to Christian apologetics all day, and this came in my notifications! Glory be to our God! 🙌🏽✝️
Oh this brings me so much joy, I am getting teary eyed. All glory be to Christ! “God hath chosen the [seemingly] foolish things to confound the wise!” 1 Corinthians 1:27 🙌🏻
I was able to be saved because I was a militant atheist. I would frequent atheist channels and get a laugh out of their mockery of Christian theology. I didn't realize I was getting shotgun blasts of seeds with every video! Like Saul, I would seek out and destroy the faith of Christians wherever I could. And like Saul, I was pulled from my evil ways and shown the horror of my sin. Now I'm a militant Christian, using the sword Christ has given us and wearing the armor we've been given. All with the express mission of advancing the kingdom wherever I can. God bless you all, and know miracles happen in the most surprising places. Keep up the good fight, and don't get discouraged by the Lost.
Funny how that works. People claiming to be Christians leave the faith without really knowing what they're leaving and atheists who attack it militantly encounter the evidence for Christ enough that they come to faith.
Ive been Born Again for about 15 years now. The evil stoops so low, that people just swallow it up. Evil isnt even recognised anymore.......Its actually accepted without question. I pray for our decieved Brothers and Sisters 🙏 ✝️
What made Him (Jesus) real for me was one night, for some reason, I read verses in the Old Testament Book of Isaiah... chapter 53, specifically. When I read this chapter, I was leaning hard agnostic. But I couldn't understand how these verses seemed to be describing Jesus, bc they were from the Old Testament, meaning pre-Jesus (by almost 7 centuries!), yet it was clearly (like a prophecy) all about Him... So I thought maybe the Christians inserted these verses into the Bible to make it appear that Jesus is real. So I got an idea to drive to Barnes and Noble Bookstore to see if these verses were in the Jewish Book of the Prophets (where, after researching, I learned I could find the ancient Hebrew texts).. I will never forget the drive that night, as I clinched the steering wheel, thinking of the ramifications. So when I walked into the bookstore, I walked straight to the Jewish section. When I found the book, I went to the section of Isaiah 53. And there He was. That was 30 plus years ago. My faith could never waver. Because only God knows the future. That is why the prophecies of His 2nd coming are just as precise. Google the prophecies of His 1st coming, and you can check them all. Then, research His 2nd coming, and most are happening before our eyes. "Seek and you shall find." --Matthew 7:7
awesome testimony. I was also blind like him, not believing anything, but my Lord Saviour saved me from many addictions and mental problems and now I am part of the church and preach gospel on the street. GOD BLESS this man and his family, Jesus saves.
What an honest testimony. Evil men purposely unleashed the virus in 2020 and so much evil was exposed because of this. This former Atheist was saved because of this evil. Reminds me of this scripture in Genesis 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
Praise God. I’ve been a follower of a Christ my entire life but it wasn’t until recently that I came to understand what it truly means to be born again, thanks in large part to the explanation by Mr. Comfort. Feeling true conviction for my sins is what drives me to further seek Christ whilst simultaneously the enemy puts temptation in front of me more so than ever before. Pray for me as I run the race as I shall pray for all of you.
An excellent prayer request! Yes, I pray to our father in heaven, that you and those who are legitimately God's children, will run the race as faithful to our Savior. This is why Ephesians chapter 6 and verse 10 and following verses are of Paramount importance. May God richly bless you now and forever in his eternal Kingdom. I was saved in 1976.. by the grace of God Alone. I just turned 74 years of age a few days ago. I'm glad that I am no longer young. I would not want to start over in this present evil world of Darkness. I am committed to living for God, witnessing to the Lost, and encouraging the family of Christ Jesus, Our Lord and king. For the last 5 years I have been prepping for those who will be left behind. God will direct those of his choosing to my home in the mountains, where I moved in 2018. In christ, and dedicated to yeshua, Darla
@@ANCHOREDINCHRISTFOREVER, I’m 67 and came to a decision on Christ as my Redeemer, 2 years later than you, in ‘78. It seems as though we’re under such evil in our society today that I’m ready anytime for leaving this world. Whether by my passing away or by our Savior’s return, but my children, grandchildren, and now great grandchildren are a cause of concern for their future. Regrettably I know that I could’ve done more to give them sound doctrine to prepare them for what’s coming.
@@chrish5791 Just keep praying for them all Chris. God's love is so great - he will draw them to himself and save them because only He can do it. Stick around for them and don't give up. Yes these days are so evil, but the Lord is our strong tower and refuge. Just remember that it's not what you see on the outside and what they are saying and doing - God can work in them no matter what. They need to know his grace is so great that he has paid for all their sin already. That is all that counts - that they know that. When they need to - they will call out to him to be saved - if they know that and have heard it when they get desperate. It may be on their last breath. So keep trusting God for them. God bless you.
It's interesting that Richard Dawkins being an atheist would spend all this time and effort trying to prove something that he believes doesn't exist, that he doesn't believe in in the first place.🤔
Thanks Ray and all you guys from here in NZ. I became a Christian in 1985 and Ray Comfort lived here then and my friends and I bought thousands of his tracts and witnessed and street preached for years and Ray was a main inspiration for us all. I am a pastor now and actually learnt to preach on the street where I was more at home - not in the church. I always liked leading people to Christ but discipling is the other part which goes hand in hand obviously. So nice to hear a testimony like this and hear guys talking about their journeys towards Christ and 'in Him'.😊 God bless.
I only have two words. Praise God! Ok, that's more than two words but it always brings such joy and peace to know that another child of God has returned home.
@Disagree in peace I was in the process of "investigating" as two coworkers were witnessing to me over weeks. A little here and a little there I started to make sense of things I before just dismissed. By the time I was watching the movie I was starting to believe that I was more ignorant than I originally thought. Then, right as Lee Strobel says "Ok God, you win" I suddenly felt different. It was as if in a single instance, I believed, repented, was shown (supernaturally) what I was, and then I cried out to God to forgive me and I then felt a forgiveness I didn't even know I needed. From that night forward I could never again be without Christ. When I sin, when I am happy or sad, when it's good or bad, no matter what I know that I know that God took on flesh, died for me, and paid for my sins. He is everything, no matter what, Christ is all that matters in the end.
Incredible. Not just his salvation, but his father and mother and I were good friends in the Forest Grove Gospel Hall years before they got married. God is so awesome.
Dawkins book was given to my young brother by his girlfriend at the time. He began to mock God and left our family heartbroken. I battle rage towards Dawkins for his evil, but God is helping me with this video. I’ve never stopped praying for my brother. I pray his eyes would be opened one day to Jesus. Thank you Ray for sharing the gospel!
@sheRoyals - Dawkins' mockery of God is out of ignorance of what the Bible says. This is an explanation about who Christ is that I wrote to someone based on the Biblical scriptures. @mosesrivera2054 - See, Jesus and the Father are one identity acting from two personalities. In other words, when Jesus was on Earth as a human being, He was simultaneously in heaven also. Don't take my word for it. Let's listen to Christ himself. John 3: 13, "No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven." In heaven, He is the divine Father revealing as Holy Spirit, on Earth, Christ is Father's human life. As a human, he doesn't know things. As the Father in heaven, he has access to all information. This is why I say Jesus Christ is Father in identity, but not in personality. And, the Bible agrees. Father is the only true God (John 17) Romans 9: 5 "The human ancestry of the Messiah who is God" Old testament, Isaiah 9: 6, The Son... will be called the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father. Concerning "sitting at the right hand side of the Father" in heaven, In heaven, nobody is going to see 3 chairs. One for Jesus, Father and Holy Spirit. The Bible doesn't teach that. In heaven, we will only see Jesus Christ. Why? Father is existence himself. In other words, we are within the Father, not just us, the entire creation is within the Father. There is a verse in the New Testament that says about the Father, "We live and move and have our being with him". Being means existence. The "him" here is the reference to the Father. Not only creation, even the Father's revelations, the Word and the Spirit, that reveals the Father is within him. Father always reveals himself through His Word and Spirit. Since the Word and the Spirit are standing in the Father's presence as His revelations, they have an independent personality from the Father. However, for the question, who has revealed himself as the Word and the Spirit? it is the Father. We have a name for the Word when he stands in the Father's presence as His revelation, we call him "Son". (Not Son of God, Son since this is the Father himself in a revealed form called the Word) When the Word appears among sons of God in heaven aka angels in an angelic form, we call him "Son of God". This doesn't mean God is an angel. It simply means God has appeared among the angels in an angelic form, and when he appears on Earth, Son of Man (member of humanity). So, basically, it is the Father revealing himself as the Word, and with that independent personality as the Father's revelation called the Son, He appears visible in heaven in an angelic form called the Son of God, and when the Son of God appears on Earth, Son of Man. Now, if you have observed in the Bible, when the Father speaks, the Father always speaks by the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ also said the Holy Spirit won't say anything of his own. He will only say what he hears and he will glorify me (Christ) because it is from me that he will say what he will make known to you. Basically, when the Father speaks, it is the Holy Spirit speaking. However, when Jesus Christ says, "I will send the promise of my Father, the Holy Spirit", in other words, when the Spirit moves, this is the other personality of the Father. The Spirit revelation that stand in the Father's presence or Father revealing himself as Spirit. When we read the scriptures where it says "The Spirit of God moved over the surface of the waters" in Genesis, do you think God moved over the surface of the waters? If you say so, the next question is, if God is everywhere, how can he move? He can when He reveals himself as Spirit and the Spirit moves. The one who is everywhere, we call him Father. When the Father reveals himself as Spirit and moves over his creation and moves into those who accept Christ's blood, this revealed personality is the Holy Spirit. Basically, sorry for making it long, in heaven, we will only see God's visible human appearance, Jesus Christ. It is the only way to see the Father by his creation like us since the Father is existence himself, meaning, this is the only way to see a God who is everywhere through His visible revelation Jesus Christ. Hence, we don't have 3 chairs in heaven. Sitting by the right side doesn't mean, there is a chair. Sitting by someone's right hand means ruling on behalf of someone. Father's human identity will rule heaven and Earth until death itself is destroyed. Then, Father's human life, the Son (Revelation of Existence) will give up the Kingdom to the Father (Existence himself). 1 Corinthians 15: 24, "Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power."
The world is crazy right now, and that is not good. But some people (some atheists) are noticing, and they know something is not right but they can’t describe it - and that is good because we have this opportunity to point them to sin and God’s plan to defeat it. Pray that our Heavenly Father opens our eyes to see the open doors and to give us the words to speak in love & truth.
Wow! I only became a believer 3 years ago, but during this time, 2010 2012, I was still in high school going full on into being a proclaimed atheist. I heard about banana man and was laughing cause I was just taking their word for it.
I love richard Dawins, and his criticism of you has certainly helped you out a lot! And probably brought more people to the Kingdom of God. God Bless you Ray! You are a wise teacher. Plus that banana clip was hilarious!!! You don't have to be a Christian to understand the beauty of the natural world and the miracle of its coincidental existence. I love that he addressed common human bias toward the end. 51:00 Confirmation bias, selection bias, survival bias, and all these things, we as Christians have to be exceptionally aware.
I used to love Richard Dawkins books and I hated stupid Ray Comfort and his dumb faith. I gave my life to Jesus Christ this year and I go to church every Sunday, and I watch this channel with tears in my eyes. God bless Ray Comfort. I apologize for my sinful, stupid attitude.
Ray have you ever considered the orange. I remember God revealing himself to me through my first orange when I was 8 years old. I remember saying " Wow it is already sliced". That should humor some people.😅❤
When I heard that Satancon lady saying "Christianity oppresses women" It is very clear to me that the people that make those claims have little understanding of what following Christ actually means" Born Again Christian women are propably the most liberated women I know! We have all been liberated from death and the darkness of sin! Praise God!
Born again woman here and I am free indeed. Following the world held me captive in my sins, depressed and hopeless. Praise Jesus for his blood he shed!
As a born again (1991) liberated Christian woman, I couldn't agree more. We serve a victorious God (and a liberated servant is NOT an oxymoron) Praise God for Christ.
My son is doing something like what this young man did and he has run from Jesus. Please pray for our Nathanael. Our son is 1/4 Estonian; probably similar to this young man’s genetic background.
Praying for your Nathaniel. I am Josh’s aunt, one of the people who prayed for Josh during his foray into atheism. It is wonderful and affirming to see God’s hand in Josh’s transformation!
*I don't know who is reading this, God will give you a testimony that will shock all your enemies and those who never believe in you will celebrate with you in Jesus' Name.Amen*
I fear I am still an atheist but I am glad Josh has found his way. I thought this might go all triumphalist, but it was a warm, human conversation. Thank you
Vernon: just TAKE that step of faith. Repent of your sin of unbelief & call on the Lord Jesus to save you! HE WILL DO IT. Do it NOW while there is still time! Praying now for you to accept Jesus as your Savior. ❤️

*******All praises to our King!!! The Lord Jesus Christ!!! Now, may he bring Richard Dawkins into his glorious kingdom for the honor and glory of His Name!!! God bless you brothers!!!
Ray Comfort a man made a fool by proclaiming the Gospel of our Lord Jesus, what a great honor to humbly serve our master . the bible tells us the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those that are perishing , Repent and believe! Keep it up Living waters !
I live across the bridge from Portland. When The Government and the "weird people" let their city implode into insanity, then your eyes open. No one goes to Portland anymore from Vancouver WA. It is heartbreaking. That was such a wonderful and beautiful city. We watched it die. I love my memories of being over there.
Wow. God moves sometimes and I am left amazed. So glad this young man and his wife and daughter have become Christians. I will need to remember that no one is beyond being saved. God is good. I will start to pray for Dawkins.
Oh it breaks my heart Ray. We know the way it was spun off into the worlds evil language. I remember it vaguely. Thats probably why. Im glad that God was glorified through it all. God bless Living Waters. God can reach Richard Dawkins as well.
My dad belives in God. But he has a form of godliness but denying it’s power. My mom is an atheist and i really wanna reach them with the gospel before they pass away. They are getting pretty old and i want them to know Christ before it’s to late. Please pray for me and my parents. God bless you all
So so so true what Josh says about atheism being a useful worldview for weak men. I had made up my mind that God didn't exist in my early 20s, meanwhile my dad had just suddenly died. I was weak and looking for a community and really a father figure. I found that to some extent in the leading atheists. How naive I had been!
Great Interview. Ray passes out million dollar pounds notes and is more well known for bananas😂. God didn't give Ray lemons....he gave him bananas to spread The Gospel, and it worked!! Ray has the best bag of trick tracks for witnessing hand down! God Bless.
I absolutely love this! 🥰🥰👏🏻👏🏻✝️🙏🏻❤️ What a wonderful interview about his journey to getting saved, and his journey of getting to know Jesus better, understanding the lack of truth and morals in atheism, and believe everything the Bible says ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow that was great - so encouraging to me! I needed that in my situation right now. Thank you! God is above all troubles. Everything will come together, in eternity.
All they could do was plagiarize a BBC cartoon. Sad 😢. God truly uses the things this world considers foolish to confound, even bring to salvation, the “wise”. ❤>
I'm not who I should be but thank you Heavenly Father for your saving grace I'm not who I used to be. Really enjoyed the video and could really relate to the end of the video about being so convicted when I watched one of Ray's videos and thinking I don't have to have all the answers to have faith. That was only about 3 or 4 years ago. Thank you God for saving me. Thank you Ray for sharing the gospel with me. Love you brothers!
Wow! What a fantastic interview! I am left feeling a oneness with the four of you at the table through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Very good all the way through! Posting on FB. Praying for each of you and Richard Dawkins.
I myself came to faith around that time. I was a practical atheist. I knew of God but never truly knew Him. The fear and anxiety 2020 brought to me along with all the years of living like the world culminated when God asked me to buy a Bible from the shelves of Target, of all places, and read it. That brought me to a point of revelation only the Holy Spirit can do. Like Josh and other people, it was foggy but the veil started to be removed. It was like seeing things in a totally different lens. Now, I count it all loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing my Lord and savior Jesus Christ!
I am SO excited to see where God takes this new heart on fire for Jesus. Josh is so intelligent and enthusiastic. Just imagine what kind of kingdom advancing work he is going to do! I will be praying for him and his family. Thank you Josh for your story, such a gift. 🙏💕🙏
I was one of those atheists a decade ago who believed everything I heard from anti Christian FB pages and such. I mocked Ray and did all the nasty things one would expect from a pseudo intellectual atheist.
For that, I am sorry.
Many years and many seeds planted later, I finally got saved the end of last year.
GOD is GREAT 🙏🏻
Praising God for His immeasurable kindness and patience. Welcome, brother😊🎉🎶😊
Amen Glory be to GOD.
Awesome to hear! Yep I remember stealing a leather basketball from a visiting American Christian team that came to New Zealand to our school when their ball rolled off the court. I am sure they must have prayed for me because it was about that same year that I became Christian! :)
Your comment made my day! God bless you.
Great testimony 👏 God bless
Praise God! It's amazing who and what God uses in His time. Thanks Josh for sharing your story
Oh I'm so happy for Josh! GOD IS SO GOOD!
It is amazing when Yahweh brings all tribes, nations, colours, ages, backgrounds together as one, part of His family. That’s how awesome He is!!🔥
Matthew 19:25-26 KJV - When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Wow. This was extremely powerful for me. Especially the ending. God is good.
God gives us a life we couldve never imagined for ourselves.
God is so good and I cant stop saying it. God is so amazing and good. We are truly blessed by Him. Truly!
I am very impressed with Ray here. His show, and he is LISTENING, allowing the others to speak and the guest to tell his story. TV talk show hosts could learn from him.
Praise Jesus Christ
Im glad he is saved
Yes I am experiencing this from the other side of the fence - ie i have "Christians" who are targeting me and won't let me defend myself.
I did not miss the irony of this fellow's Scarlet Letter marketing campaign and his being shunned by his fellow atheists.😊
Long time since I’ve watched or posted on your content, Ray. We talked over zoom probably 3 years ago. How time changes us.
"Wisdom" is God's will in action not man's "knowledge" in competition.
Amen brother...that's really great man..Praise The Lord indeed..You should make a you tube video about your testimony
I am so underwhelmed, and I believe in Jesus. This man was convinced by Lee Strobel's "The Case for Christ"? Didn't Lee Strobel interview guys with Ph.D's in religion (or other fields not related to archaeology or science), but not in either actual science or actual archaeology?
Praying for Dawkins to come to Christ before it's too late 🙏🙏🙏
Amen
its Gods will for everyone to become saved. its their choice though. its not Gods choice who goes to heaven or hell.
@@craigstevens9351 choice is a weird word to use in that last sentence. It is ultimately for God to judge who goes to heaven or hell based on the choice the person has made: either one of faith or of rejection.
@@melindamercier6811 hows that weird? we know what Gods will is. He wants everyone to get born again. God doesnt want anyone to go to Hell. its not Gods choice.
Amen sister! Amen
In 2014 I was trying to get this Christian girl I met to watch the four horsemen video with me as I was an atheist . She told me that night how she came to Christ and I appreciated her story but said I’d never be a person of faith because I could never believe all those stories In an old book. The next morning the Lord gripped me up In a way that shook me to the core and as fast as I could I text that girl and asked if could go to church with her , that something was wrong . That evening on a Wednesday night i went with her to the weekly mid week Bible study and as the music started to play and everyone began to sing I looked around confused and when I looked up at the lyrics and started to read them the conviction of all my sin came upon me and I began to weep as I read the lyrics of a loving Savior who came to take my sin and died for me . I’ve never been the same . More and more aware of my sin and more and more in awe of Jesus Christ our risen LORD .
Amen 🙏🏼
What a great testimony. Thank you for sharing. God bless you, Ray Comfort
Wow! That is an amazing testimony! God bless you JG.
Praise God!!!!
I cannot explain how joyful and piercing it is to see all these testimonies and it's similarly to mine and others around me who who are thousands of miles away (as well as cultures away) indeed Jesus is for the whole world... To save and redeem. Thank God for you sister/brother
That testimony made me cry, what an awesome God we serve!!
I'm sure his mom and dad prayed diligently for him as he worked for Dawkins.
You are sooo right!!
Why is it so edited? We're on TH-cam for Pete's sake. Let's ask for the unedited version!
@@sharpenedge all good videos are edited.
@@Sundayschoolnetwork I'm an editor. I know.
This is HEAVILY edited.
@@sharpenedge and your point or problem with it being edited? As stated before, good videos are edited. So?
Ray has endured a lot of unfair attacks from atheists like Dawkins and the way he has responded to it has just increased my respect for him. Josh Timonen accepting Christ and entering the path is just awesome, I hope we will see more of him and I hope he will endure until the end with the rest of us. This is one of my absolute favourite channels and I hope we get to keep it until leaving this world one way or another. God bless you guys, I'll see you on the other side of all this.
This is very encouraging. Almost daily I watch my son just soak in Atheism videos... one after another. From "educational" ones to completely mocking Christians. I started adult life as an atheism so my hope is he one day becomes the most hard core apologists of The Faith.
Have you tried to recommend him videos from Christian sources, historians, apologists etc. that give counter-responses to the videos he’s seeing mocking Christian beliefs?
I was an atheist my whole life, hated everything related to God, especially Christians, but the intellectual side of Christianity and the evidence is what finally got me to seek God and come to Christ.
@@heavnxbound ohh welcome to the family steph, may God bless you and keep you in Jesus holy name amen

Buy him good apologetics books! I was an atheist for years, but someone put good apologetics books in my hand. Never stop praying for him. Remind him that you want eternal life for him, and that it can only be found in Jesus Christ. Never give up.
“The Lord is…not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”
II Peter 3:9 NKJV
"One thing I know, once I was blind, but now I see." There's a truth in my life. I was a lifelong atheist for 55 years. Then one day, I decided I was going to collect all the lies I'd been told about God, as an atheist mind you, by reading the Bible! Really. I thought I would go straight to the closest thing to God, his word, and just lift the things I could throw in my Christian family's face about all the lies "they" told me. I found out, the lies did not originate with my family, but more than 100 churches my parents checked out in one service or another, trying to find a fit for them. They were Christian, I was not. I became an atheist right after leaving home and discovering there was such a thing. Back to finding the lies I'd been told -- by time I had read from Genesis to Revelation (which took me a few months) I was so floored by this multi-faceted God that was so STEADY, I didn't know what to think. I knew one thing: none of the churches I'd been to ever explained God like that! Well, of course not. No one spends hours every day in a church for months to hear the Bible read. Or nearly no one. I decided to read it again, and before I hit the New Testament the 2nd time, I just suddenly KNEW that God was really REAL. That period where I was reading to prove other people liars was my fog. Little did I know at the time I was being led. So happy to hear of another soul joining the ranks of the godly. Great interview. Thank you for posting this!
Amen what a great testimony! Happy to have you in our eternal family! Praising God for your story
Great to hear your story !
Praise God!!
Amazing. Your comment had me crying tears of joy
I’m fighting back tears reading this. Your family’s prayers have been answered!
I love you Ray. Your ministry has blessed me in so many ways. I am a 52 years old ex-transwoman from Malaysia who is living my true life. My Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ has healed and delivered me for His glory. Only God can do this for anyone who chooses to believe that He is able. Alleluia!
Many of God's blessings to you and your congregation.
@@EternalVisionToday oh alleluia. Amen and Amen. Welcome to sub.
Thanks for telling us this ! I have a friend from the gay community who used to be a prostitute for the gangs who has come to the Lord and I just love to hear your testimony. God bless you so much! That is so encouraging. I am from New Zealand, I have been to Malaysia only for a short trip when I was in Singapore in 1987. You are so precious to Him.
Our God heals and restores! What a testimony 🙌
@@dejayne8246 how are you?
It's encouraging to hear how God is using these issues going on in our country to lead people to Christ.
He's turning everything the enemy uses to harm us, for good!
"Atheism is a really useful worldview for weak men." Josh Timonen... LOVE THAT!
Thats insulting and makes no sense.
I actually disagree on that part. I am a Christian, and the reason I need God is because I am weak. Actually Paul Washer says in a recent video that strong men don't need God. Strong men don't need to pray. And it is true.
@@Hotsport_RugbySimulations doesn't make sense to me. Idk, maybe I've just seen it more in my life. I didn't grow up around Christians I grew up in a small town where men worked hard jobs in the copper mines. Strong men. Im not saying it's a good thing. They are strong minded and strong willed. So they don't need God. It's to their own detriment. I'd rather be a weak man that needs God rather than a strong man that doesn't, and go to hell.
@@Hotsport_RugbySimulations Jesus tells us we are weak.
@@Hotsport_RugbySimulations they don't need God, they do for salvation, but not for day to day life. I need God for EVERYTHING I do. Or I fall apart. There's a lot of strong men out there who don't need God to live a great life. They go through life just fine. I am not one of those men. And I am glad I'm not
I was so moved by this. I have chills and tears forming in my eyes. Hallelujah my awesome and wonderful God. Thank you for Josh and his wife.
A former atheist here who was incredibly blessed by this testimony.
The evil during the pandemic also led me to Christ…praise God!
Wow! That's encouraging to hear. Yes it was so crazy! I am so happy for you. :)😍
Same here
Me too! God works in mysterious ways!
I prayed that the pandemic would lead people to Jesus, praise the LORD!
In other words you went coocoo and started in believing in nonsense. Kind of weird since the opposite happened to me.
A Jewish man, an Arab and 2 ex- atheists, all Christians now and brothes in Chrst! Praise God! 🙌🙌🙌

Love this! I cried thinking about Ray being a "fool" for God and how God used that to reach so many more than otherwise.
“…All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, ‘God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.’ Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” 1Peter 5:5b-7.
It looks like God has kept His promise and exalted Ray❤
Well, Ray is just a fool in general.
I've had Dawkins on my prayer list for some time, and I pray that he will see the light of Jesus and be part of the Beloved. Hopefully, he will watch this video, and will see that the gospel of Jesus Christ is beautiful.
Nah Dawkins delivers common sense
I was raised Pentecostal, and as a young child, I had questions about if God was really real . Well, God blessed me with seeing his miracles with my family to let me know he was real ❤️ 🙏 and I thank him for that cause I was the type of kid who it had to be proven to me and make sense. So again, thank you, God, for what you did 🙏 !!!!
The very first miracle was when me my mom and twin sisters were heading to town on a back paved country road when we heard a noise and the pavement being ripped up . My mom looked at me and then my sisters and said, "Start praying, girls, and of course they did while I had my eyes on my mom ." She started praying and then speaking in tongues and tried to put her hands on the wheel, but she acted like it was hot and just raised her hands up and prayed louder .Now, all this time, I'm looking at the stering wheel and the breaks . All of a sudden, I noticed the steering wheel was moving like someone was driving it . It slowly moved our car toward the side of the road with ease and came to a gentle stop without my mom's assistance, and then she started thanking God. Later, we found out that the drive line broke, and that's when it really hit all of us cause that is what controls your wheels . We were going about 50 or more when this happened. God took the steering wheel and took us to safety and put us on the side of the road, and gently stopped us . This is when it hit me that there's really a God, and I saw his miracle 🙏. God bless you all 🤗❤ !!!!
Oh my gosh! What a wonderful, mighty testimony. My goodness..I am crying, God is sooo good... thanks for sharing..wow..so awesome..PTL!
@L M thank you, and yes, God is the greatest 🙏
I so know what youre talking about... I came across an unmarked roadworks (well, it was night and while I wasnt as inebriated as my passengers, i probably shouldnt have been driving!). At the time I was becoming interested in God, but, I didnt exactly pursue Him. Anyhow, my passengers screamed, something invisible grabbed the wheel, took the car around the roadworks and into and then out of a field and stopped the car when we were back on the road. When they calmed down my passengers congratulated me and all i could say was it wasnt my hands on the steering wheel. Jesus? Angels? I dont know, but, i knew by then there is a spiritual realm so i was grateful but not shocked. My friends just thought i was joking, but, i set them straight...Somebody Else saved our lives that night!
Thanks for sharing...i hadnt thought about that incident for years. God is SO merciful and gracious.
For you who believe God is still in the miracle business, please pray for Susan Blackmore. She is an atheist author friend of Dawkins. She once was studying the occult as an atheist skeptic but still had a demonic out of body experience. She was a bit ridiculed by her atheist colleagues for believing it was real and flipped around and decided it was all in her head. She was messing with stuff she shouldn’t have been. As a new believer God gave me a dream that led to me learning what happened to her. I emailed her and witness to her and she emailed back a couple times. That has been 17 but I still pray for her when I think about it. A more powerful kingdom needs to become real to her. And the King who loves her.
Atheist: it can be explained naturally
Living Waters, I wanted to thank y’all. I had gotten up at 3:30am to watch the coronation of King Charles with y’all. I won and received my Evidence Study Bible! Thank you Ray and Living Waters! I’ve wanted one for years and I’m on a tight budget. Thank you again. God bless!
That's awesome!!
Very cool. Happy for you!!
I truly love this channel. I've been watching things related to Christian apologetics all day, and this came in my notifications! Glory be to our God! 🙌🏽✝️

“God hath chosen the [seemingly] foolish things to confound the wise!”
1 Corinthians 1:27 🙌🏻
I was able to be saved because I was a militant atheist. I would frequent atheist channels and get a laugh out of their mockery of Christian theology.
I didn't realize I was getting shotgun blasts of seeds with every video! Like Saul, I would seek out and destroy the faith of Christians wherever I could. And like Saul, I was pulled from my evil ways and shown the horror of my sin.
Now I'm a militant Christian, using the sword Christ has given us and wearing the armor we've been given. All with the express mission of advancing the kingdom wherever I can.
God bless you all, and know miracles happen in the most surprising places. Keep up the good fight, and don't get discouraged by the Lost.
Funny how that works. People claiming to be Christians leave the faith without really knowing what they're leaving and atheists who attack it militantly encounter the evidence for Christ enough that they come to faith.
Amen to that 🙏
Ive been Born Again for about 15 years now. The evil stoops so low, that people just swallow it up. Evil isnt even recognised anymore.......Its actually accepted without question.

I needed to hear how "no one is beyond reaching..."
What made Him (Jesus) real for me was one night, for some reason, I read verses in the Old Testament Book of Isaiah... chapter 53, specifically. When I read this chapter, I was leaning hard agnostic. But I couldn't understand how these verses seemed to be describing Jesus, bc they were from the Old Testament, meaning pre-Jesus (by almost 7 centuries!), yet it was clearly (like a prophecy) all about Him... So I thought maybe the Christians inserted these verses into the Bible to make it appear that Jesus is real. So I got an idea to drive to Barnes and Noble Bookstore to see if these verses were in the Jewish Book of the Prophets (where, after researching, I learned I could find the ancient Hebrew texts).. I will never forget the drive that night, as I clinched the steering wheel, thinking of the ramifications.
So when I walked into the bookstore, I walked straight to the Jewish section. When I found the book, I went to the section of Isaiah 53. And there He was.
That was 30 plus years ago.
My faith could never waver.
Because only God knows the future.
That is why the prophecies of His 2nd coming are just as precise.
Google the prophecies of His 1st coming, and you can check them all. Then, research His 2nd coming, and most are happening before our eyes.
"Seek and you shall find."
--Matthew 7:7
awesome testimony. I was also blind like him, not believing anything, but my Lord Saviour saved me from many addictions and mental problems and now I am part of the church and preach gospel on the street. GOD BLESS this man and his family, Jesus saves.
What an honest testimony. Evil men purposely unleashed the virus in 2020 and so much evil was exposed because of this. This former Atheist was saved because of this evil. Reminds me of this scripture in Genesis 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
Praise God. I’ve been a follower of a Christ my entire life but it wasn’t until recently that I came to understand what it truly means to be born again, thanks in large part to the explanation by Mr. Comfort. Feeling true conviction for my sins is what drives me to further seek Christ whilst simultaneously the enemy puts temptation in front of me more so than ever before. Pray for me as I run the race as I shall pray for all of you.
An excellent prayer request! Yes, I pray to our father in heaven, that you and those who are legitimately God's children, will run the race as faithful to our Savior. This is why Ephesians chapter 6 and verse 10 and following verses are of Paramount importance. May God richly bless you now and forever in his eternal Kingdom. I was saved in 1976.. by the grace of God Alone. I just turned 74 years of age a few days ago. I'm glad that I am no longer young. I would not want to start over in this present evil world of Darkness. I am committed to living for God, witnessing to the Lost, and encouraging the family of Christ Jesus, Our Lord and king. For the last 5 years I have been prepping for those who will be left behind. God will direct those of his choosing to my home in the mountains, where I moved in 2018. In christ, and dedicated to yeshua, Darla

Thank you for your testimony, may you be filled with the Holy Spirit and run the race for Christ's glory!
@@ANCHOREDINCHRISTFOREVER, I’m 67 and came to a decision on Christ as my Redeemer, 2 years later than you, in ‘78. It seems as though we’re under such evil in our society today that I’m ready anytime for leaving this world. Whether by my passing away or by our Savior’s return, but my children, grandchildren, and now great grandchildren are a cause of concern for their future. Regrettably I know that I could’ve done more to give them sound doctrine to prepare them for what’s coming.
@@chrish5791 Just keep praying for them all Chris. God's love is so great - he will draw them to himself and save them because only He can do it. Stick around for them and don't give up. Yes these days are so evil, but the Lord is our strong tower and refuge. Just remember that it's not what you see on the outside and what they are saying and doing - God can work in them no matter what. They need to know his grace is so great that he has paid for all their sin already. That is all that counts - that they know that. When they need to - they will call out to him to be saved - if they know that and have heard it when they get desperate. It may be on their last breath. So keep trusting God for them. God bless you.
Glory to God for saving this man!
What a blessing.
The only thing that man was saved from was reason.
It's interesting that Richard Dawkins being an atheist would spend all this time and effort trying to prove something that he believes doesn't exist, that he doesn't believe in in the first place.🤔
$$$$
It's all marketing for his books. How else can he make a living?
@@helencheung2537 I mean, he was a respectable scientist once. Scientists don't make a pittance, they are pretty wealthy.
Thanks Ray and all you guys from here in NZ. I became a Christian in 1985 and Ray Comfort lived here then and my friends and I bought thousands of his tracts and witnessed and street preached for years and Ray was a main inspiration for us all. I am a pastor now and actually learnt to preach on the street where I was more at home - not in the church. I always liked leading people to Christ but discipling is the other part which goes hand in hand obviously. So nice to hear a testimony like this and hear guys talking about their journeys towards Christ and 'in Him'.😊 God bless.
I only have two words. Praise God! Ok, that's more than two words but it always brings such joy and peace to know that another child of God has returned home.
This comment confuses me so much. Praise God! Is two words. Please send help. Lol
Wow. I got saved the night I watched the movie The Case for Christ.
@Disagree in peace I was in the process of "investigating" as two coworkers were witnessing to me over weeks. A little here and a little there I started to make sense of things I before just dismissed. By the time I was watching the movie I was starting to believe that I was more ignorant than I originally thought. Then, right as Lee Strobel says "Ok God, you win" I suddenly felt different. It was as if in a single instance, I believed, repented, was shown (supernaturally) what I was, and then I cried out to God to forgive me and I then felt a forgiveness I didn't even know I needed. From that night forward I could never again be without Christ. When I sin, when I am happy or sad, when it's good or bad, no matter what I know that I know that God took on flesh, died for me, and paid for my sins. He is everything, no matter what, Christ is all that matters in the end.
God never fails to keep his promises. Amen🙏
Incredible. Not just his salvation, but his father and mother and I were good friends in the Forest Grove Gospel Hall years before they got married. God is so awesome.
Dawkins book was given to my young brother by his girlfriend at the time. He began to mock God and left our family heartbroken. I battle rage towards Dawkins for his evil, but God is helping me with this video. I’ve never stopped praying for my brother. I pray his eyes would be opened one day to Jesus. Thank you Ray for sharing the gospel!
It 's almost a saul alinsky tactic...
When you can't disprove GOD, you simply call it a "Delusion".
@sheRoyals - Dawkins' mockery of God is out of ignorance of what the Bible says.
This is an explanation about who Christ is that I wrote to someone based on the Biblical scriptures.
@mosesrivera2054 - See, Jesus and the Father are one identity acting from two personalities. In other words, when Jesus was on Earth as a human being, He was simultaneously in heaven also. Don't take my word for it. Let's listen to Christ himself.
John 3: 13,
"No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven."
In heaven, He is the divine Father revealing as Holy Spirit, on Earth, Christ is Father's human life. As a human, he doesn't know things. As the Father in heaven, he has access to all information. This is why I say Jesus Christ is Father in identity, but not in personality. And, the Bible agrees.
Father is the only true God (John 17)
Romans 9: 5 "The human ancestry of the Messiah who is God"
Old testament, Isaiah 9: 6,
The Son... will be called the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father.
Concerning "sitting at the right hand side of the Father" in heaven,
In heaven, nobody is going to see 3 chairs. One for Jesus, Father and Holy Spirit. The Bible doesn't teach that.
In heaven, we will only see Jesus Christ.
Why? Father is existence himself.
In other words, we are within the Father, not just us, the entire creation is within the Father.
There is a verse in the New Testament that says about the Father, "We live and move and have our being with him". Being means existence. The "him" here is the reference to the Father.
Not only creation, even the Father's revelations, the Word and the Spirit, that reveals the Father is within him.
Father always reveals himself through His Word and Spirit.
Since the Word and the Spirit are standing in the Father's presence as His revelations, they have an independent personality from the Father.
However, for the question, who has revealed himself as the Word and the Spirit? it is the Father.
We have a name for the Word when he stands in the Father's presence as His revelation, we call him "Son". (Not Son of God, Son since this is the Father himself in a revealed form called the Word)
When the Word appears among sons of God in heaven aka angels in an angelic form, we call him "Son of God".
This doesn't mean God is an angel. It simply means God has appeared among the angels in an angelic form, and when he appears on Earth, Son of Man (member of humanity).
So, basically, it is the Father revealing himself as the Word, and with that independent personality as the Father's revelation called the Son, He appears visible in heaven in an angelic form called the Son of God, and when the Son of God appears on Earth, Son of Man.
Now, if you have observed in the Bible, when the Father speaks, the Father always speaks by the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ also said the Holy Spirit won't say anything of his own. He will only say what he hears and he will glorify me (Christ) because it is from me that he will say what he will make known to you.
Basically, when the Father speaks, it is the Holy Spirit speaking. However, when Jesus Christ says, "I will send the promise of my Father, the Holy Spirit", in other words, when the Spirit moves, this is the other personality of the Father. The Spirit revelation that stand in the Father's presence or Father revealing himself as Spirit.
When we read the scriptures where it says "The Spirit of God moved over the surface of the waters" in Genesis, do you think God moved over the surface of the waters?
If you say so, the next question is, if God is everywhere, how can he move?
He can when He reveals himself as Spirit and the Spirit moves. The one who is everywhere, we call him Father.
When the Father reveals himself as Spirit and moves over his creation and moves into those who accept Christ's blood, this revealed personality is the Holy Spirit.
Basically, sorry for making it long, in heaven, we will only see God's visible human appearance, Jesus Christ. It is the only way to see the Father by his creation like us since the Father is existence himself, meaning, this is the only way to see a God who is everywhere through His visible revelation Jesus Christ.
Hence, we don't have 3 chairs in heaven. Sitting by the right side doesn't mean, there is a chair.
Sitting by someone's right hand means ruling on behalf of someone. Father's human identity will rule heaven and Earth until death itself is destroyed. Then, Father's human life, the Son (Revelation of Existence) will give up the Kingdom to the Father (Existence himself).
1 Corinthians 15: 24, "Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power."
Prayed for your brother. You guys are not alone
This was an awesome interview! Nobody is out of Gods reach. Encouraged to see how God uses this man in the life of others. Will watch this again.!!
The world is crazy right now, and that is not good. But some people (some atheists) are noticing, and they know something is not right but they can’t describe it - and that is good because we have this opportunity to point them to sin and God’s plan to defeat it. Pray that our Heavenly Father opens our eyes to see the open doors and to give us the words to speak in love & truth.
Wow! I only became a believer 3 years ago, but during this time, 2010 2012, I was still in high school going full on into being a proclaimed atheist. I heard about banana man and was laughing cause I was just taking their word for it.
this is awesome! crazy how God can work so well!
I love richard Dawins, and his criticism of you has certainly helped you out a lot! And probably brought more people to the Kingdom of God.
God Bless you Ray! You are a wise teacher.
Plus that banana clip was hilarious!!! You don't have to be a Christian to understand the beauty of the natural world and the miracle of its coincidental existence.
I love that he addressed common human bias toward the end. 51:00 Confirmation bias, selection bias, survival bias, and all these things, we as Christians have to be exceptionally aware.
I used to love Richard Dawkins books and I hated stupid Ray Comfort and his dumb faith. I gave my life to Jesus Christ this year and I go to church every Sunday, and I watch this channel with tears in my eyes. God bless Ray Comfort. I apologize for my sinful, stupid attitude.
Yes i am praying for Richard Dawkins to come to Jesus before he dies He needs Jesus
Praise God Hallelujah. We will all meet one day in heaven and meet most of all our precious savior Jesus Christ.
Amazing testimony, wonderful interview! Makes me so grateful for the transforming work of Jesus in the most unexpected places!
Just like Bill Gates Talking about vaxxes and plandemics. dupers delightA
That was the most amazing testimony Ive ever heard. Maybe Josh someday could share with Richard Dawkins the gospel. Wouldnt that be amazing.
Dawkins doesn't believe in fairy tales
@@thorpeaaron1110 Thank you for watching the video.
That would be a colossal waste of his time.
I love how they were looking for a church just for a community but ended up in the arms of Christ❤
Ray have you ever considered the orange. I remember God revealing himself to me through my first orange when I was 8 years old. I remember saying " Wow it is already sliced". That should humor some people.😅❤
❤
When I heard that Satancon lady saying "Christianity oppresses women" It is very clear to me that the people that make those claims have little understanding of what following Christ actually means" Born Again Christian women are propably the most liberated women I know! We have all been liberated from death and the darkness of sin! Praise God!
Born again woman here and I am free indeed. Following the world held me captive in my sins, depressed and hopeless. Praise Jesus for his blood he shed!
As a born again (1991) liberated Christian woman, I couldn't agree more. We serve a victorious God (and a liberated servant is NOT an oxymoron) Praise God for Christ.
My son is doing something like what this young man did and he has run from Jesus. Please pray for our Nathanael. Our son is 1/4 Estonian; probably similar to this young man’s genetic background.
Praying for your Nathaniel. I am Josh’s aunt, one of the people who prayed for Josh during his foray into atheism. It is wonderful and affirming to see God’s hand in Josh’s transformation!
@@ruthwilliams9126 Oh, thank you so much, Ruth. I so appreciate it.
Putting Nathanael on my daily prayer list
@@F.Amos.Anonimuss Thank you so very much! God bless you!
Will pray for Nathanael, no one is too far gone. Yes, my dad's side is Finnish. My full name is Joshua Reino Timonen--quite Finnish! - Josh
*I don't know who is reading this, God will give you a testimony that will shock all your enemies and those who never believe in you will celebrate with you in Jesus' Name.Amen*
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." -John 14:6
I fear I am still an atheist but I am glad Josh has found his way. I thought this might go all triumphalist, but it was a warm, human conversation. Thank you
Glad you came here anyway and hope you find The Way too. God bless
Aethist or not we need to find out how everything is the way it is
Vernon: just TAKE that step of faith. Repent of your sin of unbelief & call on the Lord Jesus to save you! HE WILL DO IT. Do it NOW while there is still time! Praying now for you to accept Jesus as your Savior. ❤️
@vernonhedge4530 - As an atheist, has anyone said the following to you about God.
Jesus and the Father are one identity acting from two personalities. In other words, when Jesus was on Earth as a human being, He was simultaneously in heaven also. Don't take my word for it. Let's listen to Christ himself.
John 3: 13,
"No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven."
In heaven, He is the divine Father revealing as Holy Spirit, on Earth, Christ is Father's human life. As a human, he doesn't know things. As the Father in heaven, he has access to all information. This is why I say Jesus Christ is Father in identity, but not in personality. And, the Bible agrees.
Father is the only true God (John 17)
Romans 9: 5 "The human ancestry of the Messiah who is God"
Old testament, Isaiah 9: 6,
The Son... will be called the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father.
Concerning "sitting at the right hand side of the Father" in heaven,
In heaven, nobody is going to see 3 chairs. One for Jesus, Father and Holy Spirit. The Bible doesn't teach that.
In heaven, we will only see Jesus Christ.
Why? Father is existence himself.
In other words, we are within the Father, not just us, the entire creation is within the Father.
There is a verse in the New Testament that says about the Father, "We live and move and have our being with him". Being means existence. The "him" here is the reference to the Father.
Not only creation, even the Father's revelations, the Word and the Spirit, that reveals the Father is within him.
Father always reveals himself through His Word and Spirit.
Since the Word and the Spirit are standing in the Father's presence as His revelations, they have an independent personality from the Father.
However, for the question, who has revealed himself as the Word and the Spirit? it is the Father.
We have a name for the Word when he stands in the Father's presence as His revelation, we call him "Son". (Not Son of God, Son since this is the Father himself in a revealed form called the Word)
When the Word appears among sons of God in heaven aka angels in an angelic form, we call him "Son of God".
This doesn't mean God is an angel. It simply means God has appeared among the angels in an angelic form, and when he appears on Earth, Son of Man (member of humanity).
So, basically, it is the Father revealing himself as the Word, and with that independent personality as the Father's revelation called the Son, He appears visible in heaven in an angelic form called the Son of God, and when the Son of God appears on Earth, Son of Man.
Now, if you have observed in the Bible, when the Father speaks, the Father always speaks by the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ also said the Holy Spirit won't say anything of his own. He will only say what he hears and he will glorify me (Christ) because it is from me that he will say what he will make known to you.
Basically, when the Father speaks, it is the Holy Spirit speaking. However, when Jesus Christ says, "I will send the promise of my Father, the Holy Spirit", in other words, when the Spirit moves, this is the other personality of the Father. The Spirit revelation that stand in the Father's presence or Father revealing himself as Spirit.
When we read the scriptures where it says "The Spirit of God moved over the surface of the waters" in Genesis, do you think God moved over the surface of the waters?
If you say so, the next question is, if God is everywhere, how can he move?
He can when He reveals himself as Spirit and the Spirit moves. The one who is everywhere, we call him Father.
When the Father reveals himself as Spirit and moves over his creation and moves into those who accept Christ's blood, this revealed personality is the Holy Spirit.
Basically, sorry for making it long, in heaven, we will only see God's visible human appearance, Jesus Christ. It is the only way to see the Father by his creation like us since the Father is existence himself, meaning, this is the only way to see a God who is everywhere through His visible revelation Jesus Christ.
Hence, we don't have 3 chairs in heaven. Sitting by the right side doesn't mean, there is a chair.
Sitting by someone's right hand means ruling on behalf of someone. Father's human identity will rule heaven and Earth until death itself is destroyed. Then, Father's human life, the Son (Revelation of Existence) will give up the Kingdom to the Father (Existence himself).
1 Corinthians 15: 24, "Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power."
Why do you fear being an atheist?
*******All praises to our King!!! The Lord Jesus Christ!!! Now, may he bring Richard Dawkins into his glorious kingdom for the honor and glory of His Name!!! God bless you brothers!!!
This is SO good!! Yes Lee Strobels book is a good one! I’m so happy for Josh and his family! ❤
Glory to God 🙏🏼✝️
Ray Comfort a man made a fool by proclaiming the Gospel of our Lord Jesus, what a great honor to humbly serve our master . the bible tells us the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those that are perishing , Repent and believe! Keep it up Living waters !
Praise the Lord! This is awesome!
Love this conversation and appreciate your emphasis on praying for and loving those who are enemies of Christ (just as we all were at one time!)
Call him banana man all you want, Jesus is still King and Ray is still a mighty man of God 🙌
I live across the bridge from Portland. When The Government and the "weird people" let their city implode into insanity, then your eyes open. No one goes to Portland anymore from Vancouver WA. It is heartbreaking. That was such a wonderful and beautiful city. We watched it die. I love my memories of being over there.
Evil has captured many cities, it is a spiritual battle.
Heaven rejoiced when another lost sheep returned home to the shepherd amen 🙏
Been WAITING for this to be uploaded!!! YES
Wow. God moves sometimes and I am left amazed. So glad this young man and his wife and daughter have become Christians. I will need to remember that no one is beyond being saved. God is good. I will start to pray for Dawkins.
Oh it breaks my heart Ray. We know the way it was spun off into the worlds evil language. I remember it vaguely. Thats probably why. Im glad that God was glorified through it all. God bless Living Waters. God can reach Richard Dawkins as well.
My dad belives in God. But he has a form of godliness but denying it’s power. My mom is an atheist and i really wanna reach them with the gospel before they pass away. They are getting pretty old and i want them to know Christ before it’s to late. Please pray for me and my parents. God bless you all
Putting your parents on my daily prayer list.
And you too, for boldness and brevity in reaching out to them.
Praying for your parents.🙏🏻
Wow! This calls for celebration. God is awesome!
I can completely relate to this story! Praise the Lord we are saved!
So so so true what Josh says about atheism being a useful worldview for weak men. I had made up my mind that God didn't exist in my early 20s, meanwhile my dad had just suddenly died. I was weak and looking for a community and really a father figure. I found that to some extent in the leading atheists. How naive I had been!
Great Interview. Ray passes out million dollar pounds notes and is more well known for bananas😂. God didn't give Ray lemons....he gave him bananas to spread The Gospel, and it worked!! Ray has the best bag of trick tracks for witnessing hand down! God Bless.
I absolutely love this! 🥰🥰👏🏻👏🏻✝️🙏🏻❤️ What a wonderful interview about his journey to getting saved, and his journey of getting to know Jesus better, understanding the lack of truth and morals in atheism, and believe everything the Bible says ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Josh and LW, wonderful interview, praise God.
Wow, this is so timely for me. I just watched The Fool yesterday for the first time (highly recommended!). I'm very happy for Josh!
Our Lord and Savior is Amazing beyond words!! Nothing is impossible for Him!😁
God used atheist to launch your ministry and spread His gospel 🙏
And then converted his wing man.
Wow that was great - so encouraging to me! I needed that in my situation right now. Thank you! God is above all troubles. Everything will come together, in eternity.
All they could do was plagiarize a BBC cartoon. Sad 😢. God truly uses the things this world considers foolish to confound, even bring to salvation, the “wise”. ❤>
These men mocked you just the way Satan mocks the Father.
God can do anything. We must save everyone we can. If God can get him, he can get anyone!
I'm not who I should be but thank you Heavenly Father for your saving grace I'm not who I used to be. Really enjoyed the video and could really relate to the end of the video about being so convicted when I watched one of Ray's videos and thinking I don't have to have all the answers to have faith. That was only about 3 or 4 years ago. Thank you God for saving me. Thank you Ray for sharing the gospel with me. Love you brothers!
Wow! What a fantastic interview! I am left feeling a oneness with the four of you at the table through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Very good all the way through! Posting on FB. Praying for each of you and Richard Dawkins.
All this wait for souls like his... worth it. Great job Ray.
I myself came to faith around that time. I was a practical atheist. I knew of God but never truly knew Him. The fear and anxiety 2020 brought to me along with all the years of living like the world culminated when God asked me to buy a Bible from the shelves of Target, of all places, and read it. That brought me to a point of revelation only the Holy Spirit can do. Like Josh and other people, it was foggy but the veil started to be removed. It was like seeing things in a totally different lens. Now, I count it all loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing my Lord and savior Jesus Christ!
I am SO excited to see where God takes this new heart on fire for Jesus. Josh is so intelligent and enthusiastic. Just imagine what kind of kingdom advancing work he is going to do! I will be praying for him and his family. Thank you Josh for your story, such a gift. 🙏💕🙏
14:05 when ray grabbed him 😂😂😂😂
That was a great response br Ray. 😂
Thank God for this miracle :)
To God be the glory. Thank you Mr Ray
