*Jesus didn't come to start a religion, He came to show us how to get home!JESUS Is The Gateway To GOD*
Absolutely
Amen! Jesus is not a religion he's Almighty God who wants us to worship Him in spirit and truth!
Religion means relationship with God
@@gerardodeluna9553true. Too many Christians are afraid of the word “religion.” I’ve embraced it now that I’m more involved in apologetics.
@Four_skin7777 ya idk why people are scared of the word. If anything we should be embracing it and accepting it.
No, the 10 commandments cannot save us, but we are to keep them because Jesus said, if you love Me, keep My commandments.
That's misunderstanding scripture yes Jesus did say that but that's not what that's meaning cuz he knows that nobody could keep the Ten Commandments without breaking one if you break one you break them all and if that was the case if we could keep them Jesus would never had to have to go to the Cross to die Jesus went to the Cross to fulfill the law Jesus fulfilled the law that's why he said it is finished""" we're not held under the law today we are not held to the law the reason why Ray uses that as a guideline he's the 10 commandments as a guideline so we can look in the mirror and see where we're at of course we want to use it as a guideline as a guideline to shoot for to try for all the time but Jesus said if you break one you break them all so if you broke one you've already broken all of them and I know you have and if you say you haven't then the truth is not in you we have all broken the Commandments nobody can keep them nobody can and that's that's the the misunderstanding of Scripture A lot of people misunderstand scripture Jesus knows we couldn't keep the Commandments that's why he died on the cross that's why we are saved by faith alone through grace alone in Jesus Christ alone and what he did it's not based on our Goods it's based on what Christ did it's based on his good it's based on what he did at the cross and our trust in him that's what it's based on
@@Nicky-hr1qz Of course He wants us to "keep" the commandments as best as we can, but He knows that we will often fail, and He knows that our attempts to keep them cannot save us. Even if we could keep them perfectly, from now on, we still couldnt save ourselves by keeping thrm, because we have all already sinned.
God keeps his own law in and through the true believer by faith although from time to time the true believer may stumble in the flesh
where does the moon get its light from? From the sun! The moon cannot shine light on its own apart from faith in the sun and we cannot keep the law of God apart from faith in the son of God who keeps his own law in and through the true believer by faith
@@clarkkent3730 the God never stumbles we stumble yes but just always remember it doesn't change anything I previously said that we are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone it's never based on our goodness our goodness is like filthy rags we're never going to be good enough so we cannot keep anything we can't keep the Ten Commandments we can't keep any kind of thing cuz it's not based on our goodness you can't earn it so that's why I was saying it's based on it's based on the goodness of Christ and what Christ is at the cross and our trust it's completely based on our trust in Christ and what he already paid for our relationship with him personally it's totally based on our relationship trusting him daily walking and trying to grow more closer to him
@@Nicky-hr1qz I think your disagreement is based on the meaning of the word "keep". When you say that we can't "keep" the law, you don't mean that we can never do anything that the law demands, especially with the help of the Holy Spirit. And he is only saying that the law of God is to be kept; it is our responsibility, alrhough we often stumble at it. So you both seem to believe the same things about it, only looking at it from two points of view. To you, "keep" seems to mean doing the law perfectly. To him, it is basically the obligation we have toward what God says is right, and what He says is wrong, and that we are to keep His commandments about them as best we can, but that sometimes we'll stumble. I don't think you're far apart in what you believe at all. If anything, you seem to be somewhat at odds about how hard it is to "keep" it, even imperfectly.
I was a Catholic for a long time, but did not understand why Jesus had to die for our sins. Long story short but I left the Catholic Church and began reading the Bible on my own, and started to attending a new church, one that was biblically true. I got baptized in October this year and my relationship with Jesus has improved greatly since leaving Catholicism. Religion will not save anyone. Only Jesus can.
Yes their Sacramental Salvation lie of man's works ropes people in because it's so easy.
Awesome, I am former but now Born Again. It’s scary how the typical Catholic knows so little about God’s Word of the Bible. And the clergy will typically give women the New Testament only if they need a Bible. I thought the Old was independent of the New until I started reading it smh THEY ARE ONE The Old is full of prophecy about Jesus the Messiah. For their church to dismiss it for the most part is negligence.
Hallelujah
Did you read a Catholic Bible? Because in the Catholic Bible it tells you exactly why Jesus died o the cross etc
What part of Catholicism ISNT about Jesus ?
As a Catholic WE know Christianity started with the Jews ie The Old Testament
You obviously ( lije many ) weren’t living life as an actual Catholic
I wasn’t a proper catholic neither BUT started to read the Catholic Bible learn the meanings of the stories and got closer to Jesus and have a new found respect for Catholicism which is the true Christian faith but I which you well
@@joemoorehead1954 purgatory isn't biblical. Praying to Mary isn't Biblical.
Recently I was able to share the gospel with several high schoolers and they told me they finally understand what it means that “Jesus died for our sin.” I used the Commandments to direct them to the Cross. Pray for them!
Hallelujah 🙌🙏✝️
God bless You! Keep preaching the Gospel!!!
The question here is for "born again" religions - why do you limit the ultimate blessing to "conscious believing" adults?
I use Ray 10 commandment as an examination of conscious. It's wonderful.
@@dannyarias8786 we christians don't. Children who die go to heaven instantly. They are blessed too.
I was born in a Muslim family. As an adult, I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. I am so thankful to Jesus for coming and rescuing a lost sheep like me. Other lost sheep who come from various backgrounds like the Catholic denomination are also grateful to Jesus for revealing himself to them and telling them the truth about himself.
Coming from where I come from, I can in no way fathom why people defend the Catholic denomination. Anyone who reads the Bible and compares it with what the Catholic denomination stands for can easily see that this denomination doesn't follow what Jesus says in the Bible. Yet they are shameless and come to twist the word of God in the comments section in TH-cam.
Surveys have shown in US most people who were born in the Catholic denomination later as adults either become atheists or turn to Evangelical churches. Not even 50% attend Catholic churches for congregation on Sundays. This shows really what this denomination is about.
From personal experience those statistics seem right. My church (evangelical) has many ex-Catholics. I know people who left Catholicism after they picked up their Bible and read it. Others I know who grew up Catholic have rejected faith altogether. A few say they are still Catholic but don’t attend mass, unless it is an important occasion.
How did you come to faith? Have any of your family members found a relationship with Jesus?
@@RiseShineGlorify That's good that you are seeing the results of what PEW research surveys show about people from the Catholic background. I'm so glad to know many people from this denomination are not spiritually blind and realize the truth about the gospel message Jesus preached once they read the Bible.
I came to faith in Christ because of my circumstances. I am a female and I was not treated well by my family. Apparently women have only one purpose in Islam, and that is to be a baby-making machine. Produce the next generation of fighters. You'll see the results of this in what's happening in Gaza now. My sadness and despair over my life had led me to seek Jesus. In Christianity, I have freedom and purpose. I know I am loved by the true and living God. My family is not saved. I pray for them to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. That's all I can do.
A Catholic who doesn’t read the bible and learn theology is mostly likely to convert to Protestant after reading the bible. Or a Catholic priest who wishes to marry. But a Protestant priest who learn years of the bible, even became the professor will convert to Catholic.
@patriceagulu8315 Sometimes I don't know if I am insane or sane person, when I hear ridiculous statements like what you wrote. The first Christians were not from 4th century. The first Christians were Jews who accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. Later many Gentiles accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour from the Apostles and also other Bible believing Christians. The church fathers you are advocating for were flawed humans. Many of them took positions and made statements that go against what God said in the Bible. So please, don't come here and defend them.
If you read what I said in my post, you'd know where I came from. After someone goes through what I went through, no amount of false teaching can fool me. You can do whatever the hell you want with me, I'm not going to convert to Catholicism. I didn't come out of religion to go to another religion. Just like the first Christians were ready to give their lives for Jesus, I'm wiling to do that too. Your pope means nothing to me.
✝️ I just had my first evangelism encounter which lead to them repenting and putting their faith in Jesus alone on the spot. I was praising God all week for that meeting.
Praise God!!! Great to hear.
I, 38yo, was today Baptised. Praise God for calling me home, to his church. May the blessing he has given me be an inspiration to others around me.
Amen!
Hopefully Catholic Baptism
Ray if you see this please pray for a young man in Glendale Arizona. He was shot for preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Not joking!
This is super super messed up. What is his name? where is the news story on this?
My man Raphael, with the cross around his neck, seemed very close to tears. The message clearly resonated deeply with him. I pray that all these young men were sincere in their decisions.
Yes! I could tell too he was moved and did realize the truth! Praying for them! ☺️
And yet he refuses to defend his faith and teachings..
@@Bobby-xr4bo Coming to faith can often be a process. As Jesus said, "Let you who are without sin cast the first stone."
*Jesus is Lord*
*Jesus is King*
*Thank You Jesus*
Amen
Amen
Hi, Ray! Catholic Truth welcomes anyone onto his show. Would you consider joining him for some clarification for your audience and his?
No Ray is only in kis comfort zone when he is converting random kids on the street who don't know anything. Then when he's met w an argument he can't refute he turns the comments off
@@dailyDorc Protestantism is not even hard to debunk. They constantly block or run off or whatever to keep going with it. It's pride.
I’m converting to Catholicism because I don’t agree with Protestantism and even Protestants can’t agree on in the church
@@brodywalsh2201 Good for you. Would also add that Jesus verily started a Church. If Prots think that it failed; then why are they bothering to reconstruct something that doesn't have divine protection? It's self-refuting.
Can you point me to the scripture that supports praying to Mary?@@dailyDorc
The way Ray breaks this down is so easy to understand. I don’t understand any argument against it.
From the Bible🎉
@@lanmifeng the truth is from the Bible as well as every false teaching so discernment is key
Holy scripture makes it very clear I dont know what it there to argue. Peter was the first Pope.
Matthew 16:18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
@@SOLDIEROFYAWEHlol
Many people are deceived. That’s why there would always be an argument
As a Catholic, love and peace to all of our brothers in Christ
Your current Pope has formed an "Abrahamic Alliance" religion by combining Catholicism, Judaism & Islam into one religion.
Don't believe me? Look it up for yourself.
If you think that man is "infallible" - as you are commanded to do as a Catholic - then I'm sorry to tell you, you're *not* a follower of Christ.
@@DamePiglet I'm a follower of Christ and try my best to be a good person and follow his teachings, yes we have differences in opinion and beliefs but Christ is with us till the end of time and we should love each other just like He told us. God bless you, and all of our brother in Jesus Christ our Lord.
@@DamePiglethow about you look up when the last time a pope spoke ex cathedra before you start misrepresenting and bearing false witness.
@@DamePigletthe Pope is only infallible when he speaks from the Chair of Peter.. you evidently don’t really understand Catholicism.. and you never will if you listen to the lies of Ray and other anti-Catholics.. the last time the Pope spoke infallibly was in 1950.. perhaps you should read up on when a Pope speaks infallibly.. or Ex-Cathedral as it’s known and understand that which you speak against in ignorance of the truth
@@Bobby-xr4bo
read this article. It seems according to Rome's own sources that they would disagree with you.
I came to Christ by opening up the Bible. Jesus Christ has answered so many questions that I had. So many things never made sense when growing up Catholic.
Why would your interpretation of the bible be more correct than the Catholic churches who have been around for more than 2000 years.
I would recommend you to do some research on Constantine the Great.
@monicavalencia4250 I did, what is there to say about him? There were already 30 popes before costatine was born. Nice try though.
@@AM-iy6qe As a follower of Jesus Christ my love is for him and not religion.
@monicavalencia4250 you don't leave Jesus because of Judas. Every other church left during the protestant Reformation in the 1500s
I really enjoy this Brothers ministry. I've been saved with my wife and kids going on 7 years. And I enjoyed the videos posted but today I watched in tears as the holy Spirit convicted me. We as Christians have the wonderful pleasure of knowing the gospel and what Jesus did for us and saving us from our sins. Yet I can't help but think how many times have I reached out to a lost soul and shared Jesus with them and the hope of his salvation. We are all called to do exactly what this brother is doing. When was the last time we shared Jesus with someone. We spend so much time praying for the salvation for our friends and family members , but we can do more than just pray we can share the gospel and our testimony. Time is getting short and we must hurry. God bless my brother for your ministry and God bless my family in Christ.
Change your numerous references to "we" to I.
It will do you good to take responsibility and be honest before God about YOUR lack of concern for your neighbor (outside your family) and YOUR lack of evangelizing.
Some of us spend our lives sharing Jesus with our neighbor and praying for those who persecute us (Matthew 5).
You have no right to include anyone else.
Conviction by the Holy Spirit is PERSONAL! It's YOU!
Hey friend, thank you so much for posting this. Don't let the previous reply dishearten you. Reading your response left me with a feeling of conviction that myself and others have to sow the seeds. God bless you and your family. Again, thank you!!
@@sukwarsiemanym I hope he's not disheartened by TRUTH!!
Nobody can be saved by living a lie or not taking full responsibility.
Jesus was hated because he told people the truth.
He loved their souls and knew what they needed to hear.
@leenieledejo6849 okay, according to you, you should change the "us" in your previous reply to "I". It should say, "I spent my life sharing Jesus" which actually sounds more like a brag which is a deeper pride issue. So before you remove the splinter from your brother's eye, please remove the log from yours. Regardless, let's not discuss such trivial issues. If someone makes a broad statement, such as the one above, do not assume that they are talking to you. Instead, it is easier to keep scrolling than to take everything personal, especially things posted on the internet. God bless!!
@TimorDeiSedevancanist33 so what about the other man on the cross who got saved yet wasn't baptized? He must not have gotten saved then, according to you. So, by your impeccable logic, you're calling Jesus Christ a liar. The bible does not agree with you. You need to repent. In faith.
So many Catholics have disagreed with me over being a Christian for years.... I really don't understand how they don't. Just read the Bible and realize all that stuff that they're doing isn't even in there... Don't even get me started on Mary and praying to her.... good grief. God help them to see...
We do you guys are ignore every other Important things
@@gerardodeluna9553You guys ignore the one, main thing: the gospel. You have another gospel which Paul warned against (Galatians 1:6-9). Your belief system is also full of idolatry, which God abhors. Just read the gospels and see how Jesus felt about the Pharisees rituals and traditions. He abhorred them! He told the religious leaders in His day that they where like white washed tombs; nice and clean on the outside, but full of dead men's bones on the inside (Matthew 23:27). This is why he told one particular Pharisee, Nicodemus, that unless he is born again, he would not see the kingdom of God (John 3:3).
Great comment! Yes, don't get me talking about Mary either because I left the CC because of the Rosary. It began my journey of deep research into Catholicism. Read about the Council of Trent that declared Mary sinless, false purgatory, and demonic encounters with their saints. It's a long list of, what the heck??? All my Catholic books went into the trash. Praise God I am born again. He opens the eyes of the blind and sets the captives free.
"I didn't say you stole my money"
Since you think it is so easy to read the Bible, let me show you by this example. What am I trying to tell you with this statement?
Lol. You think Catholics don’t read the Bible? I’ll answer any questions you got
Peace in Christ! 👑✝️👑
I was Lutheran until I was 23. We used to call it catholic light. I became born again at 23 in a back alley at 3:20am. On a radio broadcast that GOD brought to me at that time. Dr. Oliver B. Greene’s voice was used when GOD opened my Spiritual eyes to the understanding as to why CHRIST said ‘ it is finished’ , meaning HE covered All my sin!!! Thank you MIGHTY GOD!!!!
Oh pls don’t bring the Protestant denominations into this.
@@bikesrcool_1958 Any person coming to faith in Christ is important and not to be ignored. Heaven rejoices whenever a child of God's comes home. 🙏🙌
Lutherans are Christians. Catholics are also Christians. Both affirm that Christ died for all our sins.
@@raisinbread8526 and that’s what I’m trying to say.
Instead of making this a non denom only Christian thing, remember there are Protestant denominations that are Christian and have came to faith in them. His comment seemed a bit.. rash
@@bikesrcool_1958 I don't see anything wrong in the brother's comment. No one should identify themselves with a denomination. Not everyone who calls themselves a Christian is a Christian. Not all Protestant denominations follow the full gospel. There are Calvinists, cessationists, ....... I got lost after hearing the name of the tribes. 🥱. There are Protestant Christians who don't believe in speaking in tongues, when the Bible clearly says its a gift of the Holy Spirit. I heard from a woman who was attending a Baptist church that she was asked to leave the church because she was praying for people to be healed in Jesus's name. Then there are churches that invite Muslim people to come to church and then they hide the cross inside the church because they do not want to offend the Muslim people. So they are saying they are ashamed of Jesus's finished works on the cross. Would these Protestant churches be considered "Christians"?
If anyone asks me who I am, I say I am a Bible believing Christian. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour. 🙏🙌
I was born again 3 weeks before I was baptized by immersion. The day I got saved I didn't even understand what baptism was for, but that day
I knew I should be baptized. God changes your heart and your desires!!
Over my 38 years as a Christian I have personally led some lifelong Catholics to Christ. Not a single one had ever heard a clear, simple presentation
of the saving gospel.
Thank you, brother, for leading lifelong Catholics to Christ. You have a great love for them and they see the example in you of what Jesus said in his word.
This is a very good news to hear. May Lord bless you and your family. 🙏🙌
May I know your denomination please?
What you said doesn't make sense. You were born again when you were baptized.
@@christopherfleming7505 I was born again before I was baptised, several months before. I sat in my living room crying out to Jesus, asked Him to forgive me, confessed everything to Him, asked Him to take over my life and I felt His presence so strongly wash over me, the next day it was like I was a new person, my mind was clean, couldn't swear, hated things I used to love and loved everything that was about honouring God, I asked God if I needed a real bible, He made it happen 3 weeks later, an aunt sent me one without even asking, I asked if He could help me with learning how to read it and anther month later some family in anther country sent me so many Bible study guides, again without asking, I asked if I needed to be Baptised, the next week the pastor of a church i just started going to called me and asked if I wanted to be baptised. I had an active and living relationship with God through the Holy Spirit months before I was baptised.
@@christopherfleming7505 no
Way back in high school I stayed the night at a friend's house and his family went to mass the following morning, I'm already a Christian and decided ok I'll go once. They knelt and prayed while the Priest walked to different statues of saints and prayed to all these statues and never once to Jesus. I walked out and never went back.
This sounds like you might have attended a Station's of the Cross service, not a Mass.
@@teresaemmerth5625and if it was the stations of the cross then Jesus is in those images Though I’m not sure why the stations of the cross would be done on a Sunday morning
@@EJ-gx9hl The Stations are usually done on Friday so maybe it was a different devotion before the Mass?
A couple of things: Catholics never pray "to the statues." That would be sinful idolatry. Catholics pray for the intercession of whomever the statue represents. And the sacrifice of the Mass is one huge prayer itself to Jesus (underneath the crucifix) which culminates in the only true Christian worship, the Eucharist.
I received the Holy Spirit 3 months before I was Baptized.

Man so desperately wants to hold onto "Religious works" grace through faith. Period.
Amen!
Imagine having a God where you can maybe go to heaven as long you prove yourself to him
Yep, goes back to the sovereignty of God? God says simply reject the knowledge you gained, like accepting a literal creation account in Genesis of six 24 hour days of creation... Many will say "But it doesn't line up with science", right because it lines up with one needing faith, and without that one will never please God...?
And man always wants stuff to make sense...? Faith alone along with Grace alone doesn't line up with man's image of i need to work for all i have....? Which is a backhanded slap in the face to God? i.e. I know you are not loving can gracious, i never want to be indebted to you I'll do it my way as... "There is a way that seems right to man... In the end it leads to death..."
Sorry @oreally8650 not saying or suggesting you are advocating works of any kind, just more often posts are point counter point... I would assert you would agree 100% with my points 😊😊😊 If God hasn't given you the faith and the grace to be saved... "HELL"o is where they will go... Rom 12:3, Eph 2:8->10 :) Just saying God gives both the faith (Rom 12:3) and the Grace (Eph 2:8-10). Which in the end leads me to 1 Cor 4:7) For who regards you as superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
Rom 8:31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Hehe, sorry got a bit carried away...
I have trouble separating my desire to "do God's will", "be good and follow the rules because I love Jesus", and "loving my neighbors" from "good works". Mainly trying to focus (and not get distracted) from loving God/Yeshua/Holy Spirit first and seeking him first and trying to hear what he is trying to tell me. I get distracted SO EASILY. I've been telling myself, well Satan clearly doesn't want you to read THIS in your Bible..❤...

Most churches that baptize small children have later in life an event of confirmation. The idea is that this is the age when someone can conciously believe. Unfortunately, many people do this "confirmation" without really believing.
Most people do Catholic confirmation as a requirement for marriage, and as completion of their 7 sacraments.
I had my confirmation at 18 years old. I can say I was genuine. I was trying to read the Bible at that time but I don’t know how to start.
Then I praise God for His mercy and grace- 2 years after my Catholic confirmation,
a God-sent Christian witnessed to me and I became a born again. Baptised at 20 years old, not because of my parent’s desires, but my own decision to repent and follow Christ. (Babies cannot do that)
I underwent modern day persecutions when I decided to be born again. My family turned away from me.
It took me several years more to leave my hometown and start a new life overseas where I was able to freely serve God without any Catholic influence.

It's insane how the 10 commandments were even altered to take out commandment 2 - you shall not make idols. When a religious group changes God given text to fit their needs it's a very clear sign of their intention, that they think they are above God. God bless you and thanks for the amazing content you put out.
This is simply untrue. What ground do you have to stand on to say that Catholics see themselves above God? Or worshipping idols? God is above all, Catholics do not worship idols
Did not Martin Luther say that if you place your trust or priorities in besides God can become an idol? (Wikipedia)
These statues you speak of are statues, they are not worshipped.
Catholics didn’t modify any commandments and they certainly don’t worship idols
@@emwolsexactly
@@magnetotwisterEvery catholic I know believes in worshiping dead Saints and other type of idolatrous things. They believe in the power of statues their yard. For goodness sake, the rosary is an idol. You can also find pictures of popes kissing the feet of "Mary" statues. This is the perfect picture of idolatry.
Cardinal John Henry Newman, considered to be the greatest Roman Catholic theologian thinker in Great Britain, in his treatise called, "The Development of the Christian Doctrine" said, "At least 70% of the rights rituals, customs and traditions of Roman Catholicism are pagan in origin. Read the gospels and see how Jesus dealt with the Pharisees religious ceremonies and rituals. Short answer, he abhored them. He even told the Pharisees that the were like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but on the inside are full of dead men's bones (Matthew 23;27). Catholicism looks beautiful on the outside, but on the inside is full of dead bones.
You need your dead soul raised to life through the new birth. This is why Jesus told one of the most religious persons to ever live (Nicodemus) that unless he was born again (born from above) he wasn't going to see the kingdom of God (John 3:3). Seek the gospel that is able to give you life.
@@magnetotwisterare you denying the fact that the Catholic churched changed the Second Commandment that thou shall not make a graven image thats why bible believing christians quote the Ten Commandments properly while most Catholics say the tampered one
I as a former Nurse have seen many a infant or young child go home to Heaven ,I believe that being Baptized at birth is not a bad or wrong idea! GOD IS ALWAYS FAIR AND JUST, and even babys that die without being Baptized go home to Heaven!

AND God knows our hearts so repent ,follow commandments, read scripture and pray and thank God daily, evenvwith troubles. I know plenty 9f daily sinners that think theycare saved because they just believe in Jesus Christ?, They beat their wifecand kids drink,do drugs and never help anyone,Sorry Being like Jesus is to give up selfishness! AND TO HELP OTHERS IN NEED .Good works takes away a multitude of sin!❤ Its what Jesus taught! You can sin curse,hate everyday and go to Heaven. TO REPENT MEANS TO be sorry and to stop repeating the same sins !No sinner is going Heaven just becauseche believes in Jesus Christ! saten believes in Jesus Christ 🙏 🙌 ❤️ and hes not going to Heaven. YOU must follow God's commanments,which is easy! it's common sense and good right and 👍
See Matt. 19: 14.
My favorite verse in the bible is the one that says "only do what it says in this compilation of books"
Do you not think God is in control of what is in his holy word to his people? If the creators of the biblical canon had gotten it wrong at the start then God would have done something to fix it. But the canon books of the Bible have been the same for a relatively very long time with no one wanting or able to change it. Do you not believe in the power of your God? You blasphemer
1-do you know how put the canon together? spoiler: the Catholic Chrurch.
2- Can you please show the verse that says somethin similar to my sarcastic comment, is there a verse that says only do what is writter here? I can point you to one of Paul mentioning to follow what he tought either written or spoken, have you read it?

They claim all that authority from the misinterpretation of a single verse. The rock Jesus built His church upon is the belief and admission that Jesus is the Christ and Son of the living God.
"For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:40
Not sacrament, no gatekeeping by a priest, or pope. No Mary, or intercession of saint. Believe on Jesus Christ, He is the way, the truth and the life.

The question here is for "born again" religions - why do you limit the ultimate blessing to "conscious believing" adults?
U left the true church that Jesus started.
Yeah a little too hard for you I guess, wanted to have sex, do as you pleased and now you think you are a lover of Jesus!
@AM even if that were true it’s OBVIOUS the Catholic Church has been overtaken by evil. Tells their followers to follow Mary, tells their priests to never marry, covers up countless pedo crimes, tells them to baptize babies, etc. All lies from the devil. Wake up.
As you are now more serious about your faith, look at the Catholic Church again to see all that you missed. This Jesus that you love is truly present in the Catholic Church. I invite you to watch some videos by Dr. Scott Hahn on TH-cam. He will explain realities that you missed. He is a former Protestant minister who was very anti-Catholic but over the course of a few years read hundreds of books - many with the writings of the early Church Fathers - and discovered all his beliefs about Catholicism had been totally wrong. Jesus loves all Christians, but he makes himself available to us in a very special way in the Catholic Church which is profoundly transformational when we come with open hearts and say “yes, Lord, I believe, let not my will but your will be done.”
I went to a Lutheran church when I was young and then married and turned Catholic. I learned about worshiping Mary. My husband died and left the church. It wasn't until I remarried and became Baptist. It wasn't until then I learned about being baptized as an adult like Jesus was and was truly "born again". I thank God for my salvation!
For many years I listened to The People's Gospel Hour on the radio. Of several messages that were repeated this comes to mind. SATAN has performed two great works in this world. First, convincing man that he does not exist AND, his greatest achievement, the Roman Catholic Church. I'm onboard with that.
Pure nonsense.
Catholics don't worship Mary we ask her to pray for us to her Son. Mary is our mother by the gift of Jesus from the cross. Behold your mother are the words of Jesus to John . Since John is our brother we are all one family with Mary as mother who is pointing to her Son.
@@margaretmurray3375 Where is this found in Scripture?
John 19.25_28 Since we are all one family Mary is also our mother. She replaced Eve a mother who lead her children into sin. Now we have a perfect mother who leads her children to Jesus. God bless
Who cares what people say and think, you’re planting so many seeds for the Lord!
It's not only how to go to heaven,but how to be in the presence of God for eternity,and not go to hell forever and ever and ever!!!!😊
Catholics Loves JESUS CHRIST and Loving JESUS CHRIST is Eternal.
My sweet grandmother who is a devout Catholic was afraid I offended God when I got baptized as an adult because I was already baptized as an infant. She was more so worried that I wasn’t apart of the Catholic anymore. I know she loves Jesus with her whole heart and everyone who has ever met her felt her love. She’s truly special. I’m not worried about her salvation because I trust the judgment of Jesus and I know her prayers and the prayers of the nuns in the Catholic Church carried me through adulthood until I gave my life to Jesus. I no longer align with the Catholic Church doctrines but I also know there are lost souls in all dominations of Christianity. We shouldn’t be so separated at all.. He wants all of His children at one table.
This is why Jesus gave us ONE church, The Catholic one!!!! Your sweet grandmother was sooo on the money. Please reconsider, he wants you in his true Church that he created for Unity.

You should teach her that Catholics are the first and original Christians and the reason we have the Bible is because of The Catholic Church.
Catholics are Christians by definition, as are Protestants and Orthodox.
It's such a joy when former Roman Catholics find salvation and freedom in Christ in place of bondage to religion and good works.
I have salvation, joy, and freedom in Christ as a Catholic, not to mention good works are completely biblical.
Great!! Praise God!

@@nathanbustamante1525 And how does preaching about the "sorrows" of JESUS CHRIST, bring people to JESUS CHRIST?
Simply ask yourself this: When was the last time you have seen a Roman Catholic Apologist out in the streets speaking to people and bringing them the the Gospel Truth of JESUS CHRIST. I have lived in USA, Australia and widely travelled to the Indian Subcontinent, North Africa, middle East and Southeast Asia. In all my travel or residency I have NEVER seen a Roman Catholic trying to speak to people on the streets, bringing them to JESUS CHRIST. TH-camrs Catholics are a dime a dozen; are they willing to leave the comforts of their ariconditioned studios to go out and tell the people that they are perishing in their sinful squalor. The objective of the Living Waters ministry is NOT to get Roman Catholic doctrine right, but to get people to the foot of the cross, and in this area, Ray Comfort has been immensely successful. God bless your day. ♥️👍✝️🙏
@@jesusforever4729 I agree that more Catholics ought to evangelize. There are some here and there, but they are more often focused on evangelizing through charitable actions (e.g. building schools, donating goods to people in crisis, feeding the homeless in church kitchens, etc). However, evangelism doesn't mean you automatically have the fullness of the truth. If I go out on the street and I bring someone to faith in Christ, but I don't tell them to study his Word and get baptized, I have only done him a partial service. In the same way, though Ray is right to tell people they are sinners in need of salvation, he has only partially helped them by not promoting sacrements outside of baptism. In some cases, evangelicals hurt people by promoting free grace theology, once saved always saved, Sola Scriptura, and other heretical doctrines.
As a former catholic and now very happy Protestant it’s also sickening how the Catholic Charities is making a fortune as an NGO facilitating ILLEGALS at the former U.S. southern border and aiding and abetting HUMAN trafficking.
What does organisations and individuals not following true Catholic teachings have to do with the truth of the Church? As an example, just because Ravi Zacharias and many other Protestant pastors likely being sinners, does that mean their followers are to be tainted by their sins?

If it wasn’t the Catholic Church, what church was it then? What was it called? What were the group of believers called? Why does this church exist as the true church and not the Catholic Church?

A poorly cathecised person slandering the Church of Christ. Must be a day ending in 'y'.
When he challenges Protestants and Christians to go back and read the writings of early Christians, you have to understand what he's really asking you to do.
He's referring there to the patristic writings written after the Bible, up until about the 700s. However, there are a lot of difficulties with properly understanding those writings.
For one, there are very few Christian writings outside of the New Testament from the early years of the church. Most date to after the 300s, when the Constantinian shift was in full swing. Many of the writings from that period were responses to other documents that no longer exist, so you're hearing the proverbial sound of one hand clapping. (The often cited writings of Irenaeus is a good example).
It's also worth noting that Catholics often don't cite those documents themselves, but are imposing medieval interpretations of those ancient sources onto the texts. You can often see this in the word choices that translators make when translating these documents into English (You can see this in some of the ways that Clement's epistle is often translated).
Just as a final point, there is absolutely no contemporary documentation of the first several popes. Really, the first 15 popes or so are pretty much just a case of "trust me, bro" by later writers.
Thanks for this, I keep hearing from TH-cam to study the early church fathers so it's in my to do list. I'm keen to learn about the early faith but also I have heard they might have been the originals heretics..
@@TeeG-er3eh The church fathers are worth studying, and I wouldn’t say they’re all heretics. But it’s important to study them critically and take their writing for what it is, and not just take Catholics’ word for it that their writings support the Catholic Church’s practices. If you just accept that uncritically, you’re really taking a modern person’s word that a medieval person’s interpretation of an ancient document is the truth, which isn’t how we should approach a text.
@@tlucas7031 have you read them all? If so do you think are heretics, and which do you think are in line with the Word of God? Do you have a favourite go to list of church fathers you think are worthy to have on your bookshelf?
@@TeeG-er3eh It’s not quite that simple. I would say, treat them as you would any Christian writer.
Most of them are fairly short, and there aren’t that many of them. You can find a lot of the translations online, if you’re interested.
Go to the sources. See what St Irenaeus "For when the mixed cup and the baked bread receive the word of God, and become the Eucharist, the body and blood of Christ, and by these our flesh grows and is confirmed - how can they say that flesh cannot receive the free gift of God, which is eternal life, since it is nourished by the body and blood of the Lord, and made a member of him? " Around 200 ad.
No need to trust. READ. Listen, repent and believe!
Let's continue to pray for our Catholic friends for their eyes to be opened to the truth!
What truth is it that Catholics don't know?? Mr. Comfort always preys on young impressionable people who don't know their faith.
I have already had too many signs from Christ that the Catholic Church is the truth. Protestantism came from a man that believed he could interpret the gospel better than the early church fathers and all other Christians for over 15 centuries. His path to discovering this protestant "truth" was guided by his feelings. He didn't FEEL that God could ask so much of mankind, he didn't FEEL anything when he "lived" the Catholic truth, so he decided it must be wrong. There couldn't be a more anti-gospel message than that. Love doesn't consist of feelings... the gospel itself says: "love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect." True love consists of loving people when you don't FEEL like loving them. How could Luther say that the Catholic Church asked too much of him and that faith alone was all that was needed when God asked for us to be PERFECT!?
@@santiagovela6364 Wrong brother. Pleas watch the video and let the scales be removed from your eyes.
@@santiagovela6364so how are you doing with being perfect? Yes we are told to be perfect yet none of us are able to do so. We are also told to love God with all your heart soul strength and mind.. how are you making out with that? No one is able to observe these commandments perfectly, that is why we need Christ. You can't live a perfect life, remember what the Bible says,.. if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. This is why we must turn to Christ in faith in Him. In the perfect sinless live that He lived, in His sacrifice upon the cross and His resurrection. It's not our righteousness that brings about salvation it's the perfect righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ. We can't do anything to even begin to come close to this righteousness, we fail constantly, every day. When you're truly trusting in Christ you're trusting in what Christ has accomplished in His finished work. It's bringing yourself to rest in your own attempts to reach God trough your own works of righteousness and trusting that God will reach you in His.
And your comment about loving others, the Bible speaks to us about that.
Loving others is found in obedience to God...
Romans 13:8-10 NKJV
[8] Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. [9] For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” [10] Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
You see when we live our lives the way God would have us live it we are expressing love for people all around us even if there complete strangers. When we observe the 10 commandments we are loving others as you can see in the passage above. Hope this helps. :)
@@santiagovela6364 Catholicism breaks the second of the 10 commandments which says you shall not make for yourself any graven image: they create a false image of Jesus that is in their own likeness and not in the likeness of Christ... The true Christ!
“You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone” (James 2:24)
Who was James written to?
James 1:1 “James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, *to the twelve tribes* which are scattered abroad, greeting.” KJV
No Christian is part of any 12 tribes, we are ONE body.
Do you take passages in the Old Testament and doctrinally apply it to yourself too? Makes no sense
Saved onto good works. Good works follow salvation because when born again of the Spirit everything is new. Our desires line up with Gods desires. That’s when the battle with our flesh becomes evident. Now we have the fruits of the Spirit one of which is self control. So we learn to walk in the Spirit.
@@ronmckinley8406 and this guy decided to ignore the previous verse and just quote verse 24 to make it seem like it applies to the Christian. That’s what lying Bible blockheads do
James 2:23 “And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.” KJV
Christians do not have the same righteousness as Abraham did. We have Christ’s imputed righteousness unlike Abraham
Yes, if a man is justified, you see it by his works. Because faith all by itself is invisible. But the works aren't what justifies him. He can only be justified by the gift of God's saving grace, which God gives to people only through faith in Jesus as Savior.
James acknowledged this truth one verse earlier (v. 23). "“Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”-and he was called a friend of God."
Read the 4th Chapter of Romans. Also Galatians 3 and Ephesians 2.
Here is Jesus' promise: "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life" (John 6:47). Do you believe this saying of Jesus?
@@Kevin-nr9hp A clue to which James this is may be found in the letter’s address. It’s being sent to “the twelve tribes in the Dispersion.” Taken literally, that would be members of any of the twelve tribes of Israel, wherever they are living in the Roman world. (“Dispersion” refers to Hebrews not living in Palestine.)
It could be questioned whether “the twelve tribes” is meant literally, but the reference to the Dispersion indicates an international audience. That tells us something very important about this James.

its funny, i followed ray and was questioning my catholic faith until i read the scriptures, and then i was more rooted in my catholic faith than ever before😅 not every situation is black and white! not everyone subscribes. and most people do not understand catholicism, even those who claim to be catholic (usually just because of family tradition.)
@@AtomicVertigo_Comics I'd say that you still don't have a grasp on the whole counsel of God, otherwise you'd see being a cathoholic just doesn't jive with the truth of who Jesus is and who the apostles were and are.

That is why many follow false prophets, you cannot blindly follow your church or pastors if their teaching DON'T align with the Bible (The Word of God)...look at today many churches, pastors and priests committed sins against God, like bless homosexual couples and molesting children
I was Catholic for 25 years. Then God drew me to himself. John 10:27.
You were poorly catechised, no doubt.
@alisterrebelo9013 Everyone in the RCC is poorly catechised. No human on earth can stop the Lord from building his Church. Regardless of the denomination. May peace and mercy be multiplied to you and your family.
@@ogmakefirefiregood You said "everyone in the RCC". Ask yourself why Ray Comfort is scared to debate Trent Horn, William Albrecht or Sam Shamoun. Ray is one of thew Protestants who is absolutely terrified of debating Catholics at his level.
As for your, feel free to try me, if you're genuinely interested in the Truth. I don't mind people walking away from the RCC, but the lies have to stop, I mean don't you guys fear Jesus on the slightest?
@alisterrebelo9013 Sure, "Everyone" is too big of a statement. Trent is a very skilled debater. Ray is an evangelist. I don't claim to speak for him. As for fearing the Lord Jesus, absolutely. We will all give an account to him for every careless word we speak and every thing we teach in his name. You know as well as I, this whole debate really boils down to authority claims. Who has authority over the Church? Scripture? Tradition? I believe it is Jesus Christ. He will save His people from their sins. That's me. One of his people. Yay! So simple a child could understand it.
@@ogmakefirefiregood I'd have no problem with Ray as I have no problem with David Wood and Christian Prince who also evangelise. The difference is DW and CP don't go around bashing Catholics with slanderous lies. I take it you've never heard of Sam? Your argument that only an evangelist should debate another evangelist is a pathetic excuse to escape necessary correction.
And people like you who were poorly cathecised, had churches and parents who didn't teach you any Bible now go around the Internet trying to make up for those past failures by pretending that empty phrases like 'just believe in Jesus and all will be well' is enough.
Well let's look at the fruits of Protestants, 20,000+ denominations who can't agree on any doctrine aside from the Trinity. Do you think Jesus wanted this type of division of his body on earth?
My parents were Catholic and raised me a Catholic ( I'm an only child ). It really messed my mind up with all their false doctrine that I believed. I respected my parents and thought that if they said the church was right than it must be so. As I grew up I left the church and started thinking on my own and read the bible. The Catholic church taught me many lies. I'm now a born again Christian and have repented of my sins and have been baptized. Unfortunately both my parents died still being Catholic. I'm grateful Jesus showed me the truth and to walk the narrow road with him. 🙏✝️❤️
The protestant church is supported by the government which can also impose unbiblical principles against people's meaning.
So now that church history is online. Search Eucharist in the early church. And search Sola Scriptura
Rose, don't forget that satan is trying to pull you away from god. I pray for those who pray on gullible people to pull them away from Jesus. What lie did the Catholic church teach you - I am interested in knowing since I am a Catholic.
My wife's family is all catholic. She stays upset with me because I'm always trying to bring up the bible and to talk about christ to them.
Hi Rose
Jesus will judge everyone according to the light they were given
Even though your parents died as a Catholic, it doesn't mean they are lost
But for us who are alive and of today, the truth is being revealed and made open where everyone is given the opportunity to hear that truth before Jesus appears in the clouds then on that day everyone will have to answer for the lies they believe in after they were given the opportunity to believe the truth
For I was as you born and raised a Catholic as my dad was and his parents were born into the Catholic faith even though I came out of the Catholic Church and my dad stayed where they were born doesn't mean they are lost
Thanks as always!
Peace be with you. When I was a child God told me something I never forgot. Something is coming in from space that will give men heart attacks and no babies will be born. Now I know it as men impatient with fear. Praise God
Very good video Ray. I'm an ex Catholic and ex charismatic renewalist so know the systemic hypocrisy in the church. They think that just by confessing their sins to a priest and 'doing' the fake 'stations of the cross' bowing and genuflecting around the church and venerating all the 'angelic idols' and burning candles to them inside the church they have then suddenly been made right with God, however "let no one disqualify or defraud you, insisting on self abasement, the worship of angels, taking his stand on visions"... "these have the appearance of wisdom or what popularly passes for wisdom promoting self abasement, rigor of devotion and severity to the body but they are of no value in checking the Indulgences of the flesh" Col 2:16...
You cannot buy Indulgences as the church previously sold to gulible followers!!
For it is by grace you are saved of your sins and misdeeds not of works. See Ephesians 2:8-9
FYI - the 'Church' believes (like you're Catholic opponent in the video) that anyone who is not a Catholic is actually a 'Crypto- Catholic' and 'they' (we) don't actually know it!! Hahaha
But all you actually need to do is 'truly' repent and put your trust in Jesus and then its natural to follow his edicts as a consequence!
Following the Gospel truth is easy because your own conscience actually bears witness to you!!
The ones you’re describing are the laity but it’s not actually what the Catholic Church teaches.
Which denomination did you end choosing?
I was raised Catholic by a Catholic father and a Lutheran mother, but I overcame it through the Lord’s grace at the age of 22. It was amazing to me to read in Scripture and come face to face with all the unbiblical teachings of the Catholic church. I still have a burden for all my cousins and other relatives who are caught up in the cultic practices of the Catholic church. Thank you for your honesty on this subject that many stay away from to avoid the conflict it often brings.
No Christian used a Protestant matching 66 book bible, for over 1,500 years after Jesus died. Self interpreting the Protestant Bible, sole authority, is false.
Chris if I show you that any Catholic teaching is Biblical, will you repent of your slander?
Gove me your best example of an unbiblical teaching. Don't hold back with your choice of example and don't make make excuses after I prove you wrong.
@@alisterrebelo9013 First, since the Bible is the standard of all your beliefs. And you’re such an expert. Who chose the books of your Bible?
@@CPATuttle Whoa there brother. You're potentially firing at a friendly here. I was talking to the original poster who is slandering us Catholics.
@@alisterrebelo9013 okay sorry
No matter how many times I see these videos, it still hits me like the first time. ✝️👑
If we were saved by sprinkling of water. Or submersion, then how was the thief on the cross saved? Jesus said, today you will be with me in paradise. Did he get sprinkled while hanging there? Jesus said he was saved. So how did it happen? He believed, it was counted to him, he had a change of heart at the moment. Or perhaps before that moment. And he is now with Him forever in paradise. Praise God for that.
Jesus hadn't died yet so the thief was still under the old law. So he didn't need baptized.
@@Melinda-00neither is baptism required to be saved even after the cross, so what is your argument?
@@Kevin-nr9hp I believe that since Jesus was baptized and God said "this is my Son in whom I am well pleased " afterwards. I am gonna do it to. Better to be safe than sorry. Mark 16:15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is BAPTIZED (immersed) will be saved.
@@Melinda-00 you say “better to be safe than sorry” because you doubt your salvation, but I don’t blame you entirely, there are so many mixed messages out there because not many people follow 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV.
Not saying you’re not saved, you just doubt your salvation… and I take issue when people who doubt their salvation make others doubt theirs.
@@Kevin-nr9hp Honesty, with all that goes on in the world, and things that happened in my childhood, I do have issues with believing in God.. I am very low in faith. You could call me a doubting Thomas. I do go to church. I have for like 8 years or so trying to learn and whatnot. I do know what I believe are the steps to salvation if I ever get there. I do hope one day I figure it out before it's too late. Because if there is a hell, I definitely don't want to go there.
The Catholic TH-camr asked you to debate with him and you refused… If you’re so sure of yourself why don’t you stand up and defend your position against Brian Mercier in a debate…
You are gaslighting in this video..
Exactly. The way of the master formula doesn’t work against people who actually know the faith. Catholics and Orthodox would mop the floor in a debate here. Although this message is palatable in today’s self centered culture, it is spiritually bankrupt. It is all about “am I saved” versus “am I DOING WHAT GOD HAS TOLD ME TO DO through revelation.” Being saved isn’t just a feeling that comes from private revelation. There is no faith without works.
What Ray comfort is teaching is not "you are saved" VERSUS "am I doing what God has told me to do". Its being saved by trusting in Christ alone. The law is there to learn and prove to us that we are sinners and not able to keep the law ourselves. The law is like a mirror to make us aware that we are not able to keep it, it shows us our inward state of our sinnfull wicked heart our sinfull nature, our sinnfull thoughtlife. No one is good says the Bible.
The Law is there to convict us of sinn and to bring us to Christ and shows us that He is THE ONLY way to salvation. He fullfilled the Law FOR us and ONLY !!!!!! by trusting in Him and His righteousness we are saved.
When we trust in Christ alone and give our lives to Him we will be reborn by the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit will change us from within. We will have a new heart with new desires. And if we do make mistakes and sinn we repent and ask for forgivenis and His Blood washes our sinns away.
Ray Comfort tells it so well, so clearly. The catholic doctrine Grace + works leads to salvation is a false teaching. Its as simple as that.
Ray is obedient to do what God asks Him to do. I am sure if he felt the Lord wanted him to debate he would.
@@rkaat I don’t know where you get the Idea that Grace + Works is a Catholic doctrine.. that’s a Lie, he knows it and that’s why he won’t debate with anyone who knows Catholic teachings. and this is the problem. Ray Comfort lies about the Catholic Church.. he deliberately misleads people. He deliberately misrepresents Catholic Teaching as you have also done with your “grace+works” statement. But feel free to provide any official Catholic document which states that Grace + Works is a Doctrine
@@rkaat can you see my reply to you earlier? They always seem to disappear on these comments. I wonder why? Perhaps they don’t want you to read the truth?
Him and all his household. Not his household except the infants.
What a man of God Ray Comfort
I was once a catholic when a young teen bc my mother was one and I wanted to become a nun, BUT the Lord opened my eyes to the fallacy of catholicism. I've been a faithful follower of Christ since then. PTL for His mercy! ❤🙏
It's not a fallacy you just weren't a true catholic. Especially you probably didn't attend the latin mass
Eastern Orthodoxy Is The One Truth and The One True Apostolic Catholic Church!
Roman Catholic Is Wrong! Eastern Orthodoxy Is The One Truth.
@@yourneighbour3309who told you that?
There's also fallacy in the protestant church.
Baptism as an infant is ridiculous. I can’t believe people could actually believe this… amazing!
Born again clearly needs to be acknowledged by the person. That’s why people can be deceived to believe they are eternally secured because of infant baptism.
Acts 2:38 says to baptize your whole family.
@@Ajas0810 yes baptize your whole family, so? It’s baptism of knowledge bro
@@Ajas0810 it doesn’t say family in the verse:
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
Peter wasn’t talking to a baby 🤦♂️
He said every one of you. Babies wouldn’t have understood what he said. You cannot be baptized if you don’t understand salvation.
You can’t be baptized if you don’t REPENT.
Babies don’t understand repentance, nor can they repent.
@@godloves9163 doesn’t every one of you mean every one of you.
@@Ajas0810 he was talking to the people present with him that believes. Might as well baptize hindus for no reason.
God bless you Ray and your ministry.
I was born Catholic but have never understood the Gospel, I feared death and many others. I was so ignorant of God’s love and the salvation that He offers. Had I die then I would sure Go to hell. Thank God for people like Ray Comfort for sharing such liberating message!
@@crossvilleengineering1238 Who is Bryan Wolfmueller?
Ray is an amazing individual, and I never get tired of watching him display his love for others. Bless you Ray Comfort.
*What did God do for sinners so we wouldn't have to go to hell?*
_"Purgatory."_ 🤦🏻♀🤦🏻♀
I don't blame the kid for not knowing the answer, I blame the people who taught him that. Lord, Jesus, help us!
The best one of Ray for me👍
God bless you Brother Ray
Ray Comfort and living waters are true blessings from God's hand at work .... Many lives are saved by Ray sharing the Good News of salvation and God's Grace , Prayer and Trust in Our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus... Blessings to Ray and living waters 🙏
My wife and I were born and raised as a Roman Catholic and converted to Christianity 15 years ago. Roman Catholics believe a lot that is not in the Bible.
Absolutely correct. And this is the main problem with all false religions: Catholics, Mormons, JWs, etc.
Low hombre
Please read the bread of life discourse which ends in the true 666. John chap 6 verse 66.
Do you believe that you are saved by faith alone? Do you believe that the Bible is the sole infallible authority on the Christian faith? Do you believe that God punished his Son for our sins? Do you believe that Jesus is the only intercessor of prayers between God and man? Do you believe that you don't have to confess your sins to others to be healed? If so, then you (and the people who sent you and your wife astray) believe a lot that is not in the Bible.
@@richardgreene6810 No I don’t. There is more reason far more than what you’ve asked. Sorry to disappoint your theory.
You can read the Nicene Creed. We Catholics do Rom 10:10 at least weekly.It's called the Profession of Faith we recite it every week after the Scripture readings.

I was catholic and sought to find the catholic religion in the Bible and what I found is that the catholic religion is false. And i was deceived but now I have given my life to Jesus and I have been serving God for 7 years and will preach the gospel tilli leave this earth.
Sorry, I read the Scriptures and came to a different conclusion. The one shared by St Paul and the saints.
I am a Roman Catholic Evangelist. Thanks be to God!

@RCEmichaelreavey Tell me the dead sends you pray too is that valid in the New testament, Tell me once again did Paul pray to the dead saints or summoned any dead saints or did he just wrote to the saints who are holy people following the word of God and following his son Jesus Christ in his letters?? Then why are you worshiping dead people
Hey how do youn know that the books of the bible are correct and we shound not add others?
You're serving satan
@@joswinnoronha1739 because they aren't dead, they are alive in Christ, for Christ is the god of the living not the dead. If Christ is alive and we rejoin him after departing from this world, are we not alive in him? Otherwise, what has Christ come for? Did he not come to save us from the penalty of sin, which is death? To think of those who are saved as dead would be to indirectly claim Jesus himself is dead, which is obviously not the case (nor do I think you are making that case, however it logically follows from the flawed argument).
I certainly agree with the idea of the believer's baptism, but it should give us pause that the early church was nearly unanimous in practicing infant baptism.
I'm a born again follower of Jesus Christ..no denomination will ever save you or their man made church traditions
How about a face to face debate with Jimmy Akin or Scott Hahn or Steve Ray. Meet them Ray!
