I agree with you. Nothing about that guy was cool. He is filled with pride and refuses to truly listen. You don’t know what you don’t know. Hopefully humility will come his way. My pride had to be beaten out of me, hope he does not have to go through the same experience.
@@tacoenjoyer8623 I would not say I made that claim, it was just an observation of one man on one occasion. Regardless if you feel that you have an argument for your belief that you want to share, I’ll listen.
Everyone is like this man apart from the grace of God. God opens the eyes of the spiritually blind as a gift of grace. Everyone is born spiritually blind, not seeking God, and dead in trespasses and sin.
This man was very cool…….he used many of the same arguments I used in the past! I guarantee a thinking man will always be thinking. I hope he reads the Bible again.
No, he wasn't "cool"... he was a cocky, arrogant, conceited, rude, and everything else in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 (or basically just a typical heathen California leftist).
@@patticarey9016 I notice a decent amount of people who have claimed they read the Bible have read bits and pieces- typically out of order and context, which is how they end up with conclusions like ‘You have to do everything God ever told anyone to do’. I think it would help them to read it in the order it was put in, and maybe chronologically once- but not in pieces.
@@kristianmorey2247 Let God take care of that. It's our job to plant the seed, it's God's job to make it grow. I have seen God soften many hearts in my lifetime.
@Kristian, yep, still probably many of us here (me included) were one of those. That seed (as mentioned below) is a strange thing. We never quite know in advance what it is that will make people tick. Still, the planted seed does its work. Let’s pray for Earl.
@Quinzerrak The incompetence of a human using the breath God gave them to refuse to know & obey him. As if death isn’t inevitable and judgement doesn’t follow right after. You can’t even beat a bear in a fight let alone define the word “good”, humble yourself and show humility because God will break you. He isn’t this pushover “weak” deity, you will suffer.
@@daekwonrose3160 Yeah, that's just exactly the sort of God that I need to believe in, one that breaks people and makes them suffer. (You understand that this is ironic sarcasm, right?)
Ok, this was a great one. Nice interview. What I like about this guy is he can talk without getting angry. Ray kept the ship steady and wouldn't let him rabbit trail off of the Gospel! Bravo. Please God save Earl. 🙏
This is so cool. This man asked such honest questions...that most people have. So glad he atleast listened with an open mind. God bless Ray. He has so much patience and love for others.
@@johansteenkamp4027 that’s alright. A seed has been planted. Let’s pray for mercy on his life and for the seed to be watered and God to bring the increase!
Why do y’all think so highly of people that disrespect our King & speak blasphemy about the Bible? God’s word that they can’t even comprehend. He didn’t have an open mind he was arrogant and thought he knew it all when he clearly didn’t, he professed himself to be a fool trying to appear wise. Arrogant people won’t seek God, he has no humility nor is he humble because he’s a “scientist”.
@daekwonrose3160 You can't talk in absolutes about Earl. Is his heart hardened? Is he prideful? Is he unsaved? Yes to all as it stood at the time of this video. But you don't know what the Lord may do or allow in Earl's life to bring him to repentance. Let's pray for this to happen and that this seed (and hopefully others planted since the taping of this video) will bring Earl to turn Jesus as the true and living hope for salvation. Be well and be at peace.
8 Years ago since Jesus saved me from my sinful life, until now I'm still amazed by His grace, He also teaches me how to sing and worship Him in music, glorify your name Jesus!
@@jaymidavern2620 We are all saved by what Christ did on the cross when we put our trust in him. When we put our trust in Jesus, God gives us a free gift of mercy and he washes away our sins and gives us eternal life. That is the promise God gives us through his written Word, the Bible. No, eternal life is not the goal, a relationship with God in eternal life is the goal. To answer your other question, eternal life is not on earth or heaven, it is wherever God is. God is eternal life. As to what your confused with, I would be more than glad to do my best to clarify what is confusing you.
@@SlimThief You should read the Case for Christ written by Lee Strobel. He too was an atheist, in fact a hardcore one but now he is a born again follower of Christ.
The Gospel straight to his heart, while his mind kept objecting. Beautiful. May the planted seed of your precious Truth grow in this man's heart, dear Lord. Amen.
I like Earl too. He is very likeable. Im praying for him too. He is very people smart so a great believer in Jesus Christ he would be. God bless you Earl! Jesus said if you seek me you will find me so seek Him actually ask Him to show you who He is. He is not just a great teacher He did not leave that open to us. He is either who He said He was or very smart and evil? If you truly seek Him you will find He is who He said He was. The gospel of John is great and ask the Holy Spirit to show you about Him. You will find if you let Him He will bring the word alive. I was catholic too and now i know Jesus Christ and am born again filled with the Holy Spirit. No longer in religion but in God. Very alive not dead at all. Love in Jesus friend.
This!! 😂😂 I spoke to a guy before who believe we had to follow the 613 Jewish tradition laws I was like nah bro nobody has ever kept that let alone the 10 commandments
@@elsablue3646 I was actually raised catholic too! Definitely different when you come to know Jesus personally. It's the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. Praying it happens for Earl, but so glad it happened for you!
Earl is an awful lot about my best friend, who happens to be an atheist. We've had these type of discussions and we are still friends - despite living across the country from each other. I was actually laughing as some of the conversation because it's so familiar. Do not give up on those who seem lost, they stay friends with you because you feel God's love through you, even though they may not believe in God!
I believe that. Those people who have no faith but remain friends with a Christian. They, must see God in you as a Christian and the Holy Spirit guides them. Of course we have free will which is why many choose to remain atheist, however sometimes it happens as quick as you snap your fingers, some suddenly convert. It feels sudden but in all reality, the seed was planted and their minds were thinking.
This was a very genuine conversation! This is how two different men who have differing opinions have a conversation. So often people yell, accuse, or talk over the other person. Thanks Ray for your ministry.
It never fails when someone says yes they have read The Bible that when they open their mouths it becomes abundantly clear they literally have no clue what it's about or what it says. He is absolutely right, Ray can't change his mind, that is something ONLY God can do if He chooses to do so. Ray planted the seed and God brings the increase, or not, praying for this Man.
Nobody understands it then by that standard since there are 400 sects within Christianity that all say the Bible meant something different that whatever others believe it meant.
That's been my experience too. I am getting better at not making into a "gotcha" when it quickly becomes obvious they either; A.) Never did read the Bible at all, or B.) Flew through it as quickly as possible just to be able to say they read it. 99% of the time, it turns out they never read it or maybe just skimmed through some of one of the gospels a long time ago.
The difference is night and day between reading the Bible saved under the guidance of the Holy Ghost, and unsaved, especially unsaved with a cynical, jaundice eye.
Brings 😢 tears to my eyes, such a terrific conversation and can see the wheels turning in his mind. Holy spirit working in him. Just needs an adjustment in truth and I think he'll come to relationship with christ. So beautiful
that was the most genuine and most intelligent conversation I have heard you discuss with someone. I love your testimony and the logical way you exposit the gospel of Yeshua. However, with this man, there was a different mentality that probably challenged your method more so than most. He also was genuine and went away scratching his head. I too love this challenge from people as it reinforces my ability to defend my faith. 1 Peter 3:15. Thank you for sharing!
I wholly agree. Earl had clearly pondered long on certain aspects of this subject, especially from a philosophical and logical perspective. He expressed a level of respect that one should have for the Bible, if it truly is the Word of God, a level of respect that, from my perspective, many if not most Christians do not have because of inherited strongholds in Christendom, strongholds that are not easily overcome. I suspect this man, Earl, may be very close to the kingdom of God, especially if he and Ray were able to spend more time together. In fact, I think Earl could have a profound effect upon Ray and his theology of the Bible as well, given his own experience, intellect, convictions, and knowledge. It is a most interesting interaction between them.
@@geoffmower8729 God is definitely real. He still speaks to those who believe . Logic will never prove God because he is above and created our small logic.
@@geoffmower8729 I'd be happy to explain it to you, but I need confirmation that I am corresponding with a real person and not a spambot or a monkey slapping away randomly on a keyboard. Please prove that you actually exist.
Your persistence and ability to work around resistance really inspires and mentors me, Ray. May your tribe increase! And may I be a part of it. “Go into all the world…”
There is hope for this gentleman because he is seeking the truth. I was in his shoes for 32 years of my life, and understand completely where he is at. Hopefully he keeps asking questions and keeps an open mind on the answers.
I have to say that there was relief in Earl's eyes once you clarified that we didn't need to follow civil law since we have our own, but moral law. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the editing, but the look in his eyes definitely shifted after hearing you say that. Thanks for that information!
This whole thing made me happy and laugh at times just the open conversation and willingness to hear eachothers points with a smile. Lol they both pretty much said that according to eachothers belief systems they were going in two opposite directions yet they smile and enjoy eachothers presents and nobody got visually upset and had a mutual respect for eachother. Well done
This was great! Ray and Earl had a civil conversation on religion. We really don't know, we only hope that if this earthly tent we live in is destroyed there's an eternal GOD in heavens that built a huge house without using hands for billions of souls or many could end up homeless in heaven.
What about all the other "isms" and their doctrine? Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. or the Native American belief in the Great Spirit? They're all wrong and you have a lock on the key to transforming hearts eh?

So many comments about how nice this conversation was (which is true) but as light hearted and even funny at times it was, this was heart breaking. Such a pleasant guy, yet on his way to hell. Many “nice” people will still be in hell. That’s a horrible reality. Please pray for this man and his wife and count your blessings everyday if you’ve been granted eyes to see and ears to hear.
This is sad. I was an unchurched nice individual that was bound for hell, until the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to understand the good news of the Gospel and with a true heart of repentance received what Jesus Christ did on my behalf. Then I picked up my cross to follow Him.
@@lionzion1879 Would it be a loving thing if I had the cure to cancer, but did not share it? I am so grateful for the people God placed in my place to show me the error of my ways and the Gospel truth. They were a vessel ( or a messanger) that God used to save my life from eternal damnation. And He gave me peace and joy despite my circumstances. He healed my broken heart. He set me free from so much trauma as a child and at the hands of my husband. It's true. God is a good Father. And anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved. Even you! God bless. And sad to say, there are a lot of hypocrites in the church. God is not pleased with that. But that doesn't change God's character. And there still are a lot of genuine sincere one. With that being said, you know what right in your heart.

Jesus loves you enough to warn you through His followers. I pray you receive it, turn from your sin and receive the only savior there is. Jesus
Thank you, Ray, for your wonderful example of spreading the gospel with boldness, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, and love. Keeping you and yours, along with the people you share the gospel with in my prayers.
Lord, I pray that you bring this man's pride low and help him to see his need for a Savior. I pray the Holy Spirit will bless the seeds Ray helped plant and bring them to fruition, and I pray we will rejoice in heaven before God's throne with this man someday! Amen.
It's so difficult to keep the structure of conversation when you are talking to a person who always has a lot to say. But, great to see Ray showing us how to do it.
@@danielparsignault3869 well, the thing is, there are people who you will meet only once in your life. And when we are sharing the gospel, we want them to know why it is important to be saved. And, to share the gospel , we need time to talk. I'm not saying that letting others talk is a bad thing. But, If Ray let him talk and talk, this conversion would have gone a 100 different ways then the way Ray intended to, and they would have had a lovely time talking but this guy would never hear the gospel. And this is one of the most important conversation a person can have in life. But, Ray carefully always brought it back up and asked him to listen. And he did. And he got to know the message of the gospel. There are times to talk and times to listen. And this was a time to listen. The enemy is very clever. He will use even the tiniest distraction to stop the gospel from being heard. So, we must be careful to not fall into the trap and get easily distracted. I hope it makes sense. Take care and God bless!!
@@mixedemotions6471 Thanks. So basically your text was an affirmation of what I asked. If I am not mistaken you would rather preach a pre- thought out list of bullet points, if you will, to prove your beliefs. Meaning that your beliefs do not stand up to being put under the microscope.Furthermore, am I correct in stating that you see any question or doubt of yourself as an incursion by the Son of the Morning? ( I do so love the old names.) So the free will that was granted us by the Creator counts for nothing. Does that translate to, "If some are not with you then they are against you?" This backwards statement is another way the modern church has perverted the teachings of Yeshua. Yeshua said, " If they are not against us, then they are with us!" Say both statements to yourself. Which statement sounds full of fear and foreboding? Which sounds hopeful and light? The Bible teaches forgiveness and humility but all I see and hear these days are, preservation of empire, prosperity gospel cow flop and bottomless hypocrisy. Yeshua spoke truth to power and now the modern christian church is embedded in the power structure. In short church leaders are the romans who drove the spear into my masters side and tortured him. Yeshua is sad over what he has been turned into...
@@danielparsignault3869 They can't actually prove anything because their faith prevents them from mentally processing it. At best you can have a civil discussion in futility like in the video. That entire conversation was like watching two blind and deaf tennis players stuck in a closed loop.
@Blah Blahblah Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Torah and all its laws as he is the word himself and us mortal humans could never ever keep over 600 laws hence what Ray said about "not being able to keep 10 so why 613"
Ray was being dishonest. His opponent was telling Ray that Ray couldn't pick and choose what he liked, he had to go with the whole Bible or nothing! Clever, that boy, for turning the argument back to where his opponent had to deal with a stupid argument.
@@lokensga Your ignorant.He was saying he recognized the guy thought many things in scripture were foolish.Which is why he said he'd put that to the side & possibly come back to it later.Not that he himself didn't believe in the stories of Noah,Jonah etc..And for your information there's great evidence for a world wide flood,as well as the ark still resting on the larger Mt Ararat(top right of the Ahora Gourge).People historically have been swallowed by whales & survived.Even videos here on youtube!Look it up!
AMAZING. This man had a lot of sincere questions but when Ray started getting down to the most important issue, the man sensed this and tried to derail it with a lot of "whataboutary". Ray's patience and love for this man in spite of that maneuver is GOD'S PATIENCE AND LOVE for this man and THAT is what really touched his heart. It's why he asked Ray to come have a beer with him and why he will never forget this encounter.
Probably one of my favourite clips. Bypasses the intellect and goes for the conscience - and the guy says "we could be friends!" Evangelism can be mutually enjoyable! Love it Ray.
He asked many questions of why why are we here? Those are questions that man will never have answered In their lifetime here in this place! The best we could hope to do is to try and live our life, moral and righteous and help your fellow man.
I like this guy. Even though he didn’t seem to agree with what was being said he was open to hear. I’m willing to bet he’s never heard the gospel put in this way. A seed planted. Thank you, Lord!

When I watch these videos, I'm reminded to be humble. As someone born into the church, I never struggle with the existence of God, heaven, hell and now that I have a very good understanding of the bible, I have no problem with evil, suffering, double predestination and all the difficulties in the bible. I am so humbled for open eyes and ears, wow, such a gift I take for granted. Grant oh Lord to the blind these gifts, be merciful to them.
He had some excellent point that should need to be answered diligently. He’s right that you can’t have your cake and eat it to. If you believe the Bible you believe it in entirety. There is no picking and choosing yet this is what most Christian’s do. Most Christian’s swallow the pill whole and can’t think logically for fear of eternal damnation, but at the same time lack the ability to find root cause of what lies at the heart of redemption. Personally I risk eternal damnation for the benefit of accurate thinking. The only truth is repentance, humility, and sacrifice
@@SlayingSin I understand what you are saying but the problem brother, is that your argument is not based in reality and cannot be reasoned with.

Maybe apply ur own criticisms of this man to urself Thomas. Ur explanation is a two way street. How can u expect anyone to agree with you when u clearly aren’t willing to realize that one with a different belief system could use ur own words to turn right back on you. And I say this to you as someone who also sided with you when it comes to being a man of faith however my job is to not force upon another man/woman the beliefs I hold dearly as my guiding force in order to judge another that has chosen to follow in the same path.

I listen to you at work.(I'm a security officer at a manufacturing facility) And I wasn't sure if people can hear the videos when I'm listening. But I know now they can, cuz a young lady had a question about this video. She asked me about what he was talking about the difference in sins and asked if one sin is worse than another in God's eyes and can any sin be forgiven....she was specifically speaking about murder. I told her Paul was once a murderer and was redeemed and went on to write large parts of the new testament and taught about deeds and how we can't earn our salvation and how salvation is a heart transformation, and what we do does change when we're saved but we still do dumb things and mess up but the difference is that we don't want to keep doing those things. We WANT to be better and serve Him better. She smiled and seemed to like what I had to say. 👍 So you may have won a heart just by a lady walking by listening.

Its nice that he expressed his respect for Ray sharing the gospel with strangers. Most people i know would react very negatively and claim Ray is "pushing his beliefs" onto them. In reality, this man is right, it does show an immense amount of conviction to be out there sharing the gospel.
It’s sad how many Catholics have never heard the true Gospel. All they ever heard were rules and the importance of keeping them, so they left. Plus, getting hit on the hand with rulers didn’t help

@@JesusisLOVEJohn- He's saying that forcing someone into a corner isn't a good way to convert people to Evangelism. I can attest to that since I've had countless Christains attempt it against me, to no avail.
My understanding is that Ray is not trying to "force anyone into a corner," or find evil in them so they'll great God. He's actually trying to help them recognize, that they are not good people, as Jesus also said; they are sinners who need a Savior (Jesus) to "save them from their sins," and to "bless them by turning from their wicked ways." (End of Acts 3) Etc.
Ray planted the seeds...I could tell by the change in demeanor of this guy. He has a LOT to ponder in his heart. I couldn't live without my faith and hope in what Jesus Christ did for me at Calvary. I'm a repentant sinner saved by God's MERCY and grace.
@@robertdouglas8895 People often use the quote "judge not lest, you be judged" as a defence to continue in sin without any correction. People rarely go on and read the rest of the passage much less the rest of the chapter, and further insutuction in the entirety of the new covenant books. He ordered us to preach to the people, and solemnly to testify that this is the One who has been appointed by God as Judge of the living and the dead. Acts 10:42 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 2 Cor. 5:10 What else did Jesus the Christ actually say? And Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.” John 9:39 "Do not judge according to external appearance, but judge with proper judgment." John 7:24
@@robertdouglas8895 so I guess you are sticking to your story that Christ doesn't judge. Side note: We see what God's sees because He is Spirit and he reveals things by Spirit. But just as it is written, “Things that no eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind imagined, are the things God has prepared for those who love him.” God has revealed these to us by the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the things of a man except the man’s spirit within him? So too, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things that are freely given to us. (Paul to the Corinthians)

@@darciesniegiecki2706 I simply quoted what Ray Comfort said to the gentleman he interviewed. With all due respect, You obviously missed the irony of this comment.
That was such an awesome dialogue. It nice to see what happens when Ray is combated with man’s logic and hear Ray deal with it. Most often people have no real thoughts on the issue. I like how Ray has an answer to whatever is thrown at him. Depending on their response dictates the kind of answer Ray gives. I leant a lot from you Ray. Thanks for making these videos. Appreciate it. 👍
But he doesn't, the video is edited and he uses the same questions in every video. Ending with the faith that jesus died and rose on the cross. Because if jesus didn't die and rise the christian faith is uprooted. However the videos keep me intrigued and I can see the conversation between the two spoken as how sometimes I'd like to see these thoughts addressed. There's an analogy across the comments about a seed being planted. Your life is going to be full of decisions and each choice is a seed. So be aware how people live their life. A pointent moment I reflect on the christian bible and the new covenant on these videos isn't so much living waters but the lack of, directly my mind thinks of jesus in the desert being tempted by the devil. It offers many questions and answers. For example jesus being god in human form is tempted by the devil and god rejects the devil. But is the temption there because God is in human form? If yes then does this mean we have sin because we are in human flesh yet in a spiritual form (which I find hard to exsist) then would we not have the burden of sin to be tempted by? There are lots of questions to ask.
What that guy didn't understand...when Jesus Christ came down as a man he brought with him a new covenant of the law the old covenant of sacrificial rights, stoning to death and all that was abolished but the basic principle is in the ten commandments he didn't come to change those only the way we look at all the laws the Hebrews added on later after the first 10, that's why he was disappointed in the Pharisees. It was a New covenant between man and God.
The Pharisees certainly added to the law of the Lord but the Lord Himself gave all 613 laws not just the Ten Commandments just to clarify, I agree that Jesus confirmed a new covenant meaning we are no longer under law but grace, but I wanted to make sure you knew that, while the Pharisees added to the law which wasn’t permissible, the Lord definitely gave more then the Ten Commandments.
@@ivillious7573 even the dietary laws changed before Jesus Christ. So here is the minimal set of laws which apply to all people - since everyone is descended from Noah: 1) Don't murder. 2) Punish murder by capital punishment. 3) Be fruitful and multiply. 4) Eat anything you like, but not while it is alive.Aug 6, 2011 Even this last law Fischer of men Matt.

@@tomcogar851 Considering you claim to be a good listener, would you be interested in my arguments for why god does not exist?
@@tacoenjoyer8623 I would not say I made that claim, it was just an observation of one man on one occasion. Regardless if you feel that you have an argument for your belief that you want to share, I’ll listen.
And soo many people that believe they are smarter or more full of "love" just for the sake of believe in their own truth . That is call a non-sense .
Everyone is like this man apart from the grace of God. God opens the eyes of the spiritually blind as a gift of grace. Everyone is born spiritually blind, not seeking God, and dead in trespasses and sin.
This man was very cool…….he used many of the same arguments I used in the past! I guarantee a thinking man will always be thinking. I hope he reads the Bible again.
exactly, amen!
I doubt he has read it at all. Didn't know Romans 6:23.
No, he wasn't "cool"... he was a cocky, arrogant, conceited, rude, and everything else in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 (or basically just a typical heathen California leftist).
@@patticarey9016 I notice a decent amount of people who have claimed they read the Bible have read bits and pieces- typically out of order and context, which is how they end up with conclusions like ‘You have to do everything God ever told anyone to do’.
I think it would help them to read it in the order it was put in, and maybe chronologically once- but not in pieces.

“Earl, you can’t even keep 10, why would you take on 613!?” I liked Earl. Definitely keeping him in prayer.
I like Earl too. He is very likeable. Im praying for him too. He is very people smart so a great believer in Jesus Christ he would be. God bless you Earl! Jesus said if you seek me you will find me so seek Him actually ask Him to show you who He is. He is not just a great teacher He did not leave that open to us. He is either who He said He was or very smart and evil? If you truly seek Him you will find He is who He said He was. The gospel of John is great and ask the Holy Spirit to show you about Him. You will find if you let Him He will bring the word alive. I was catholic too and now i know Jesus Christ and am born again filled with the Holy Spirit. No longer in religion but in God. Very alive not dead at all. Love in Jesus friend.
This!! 😂😂 I spoke to a guy before who believe we had to follow the 613 Jewish tradition laws I was like nah bro nobody has ever kept that let alone the 10 commandments
Praying for Earl to get saved.
@@elsablue3646 I was actually raised catholic too! Definitely different when you come to know Jesus personally. It's the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. Praying it happens for Earl, but so glad it happened for you!
@@connorhyatt3583 Dude, seriously...
Earl is an awful lot about my best friend, who happens to be an atheist. We've had these type of discussions and we are still friends - despite living across the country from each other. I was actually laughing as some of the conversation because it's so familiar. Do not give up on those who seem lost, they stay friends with you because you feel God's love through you, even though they may not believe in God!
I believe that. Those people who have no faith but remain friends with a Christian. They, must see God in you as a Christian and the Holy Spirit guides them. Of course we have free will which is why many choose to remain atheist, however sometimes it happens as quick as you snap your fingers, some suddenly convert. It feels sudden but in all reality, the seed was planted and their minds were thinking.
What a refreshingly healthy and respectful conversation by both parties. Incredibly refreshing.
This was a very genuine conversation! This is how two different men who have differing opinions have a conversation. So often people yell, accuse, or talk over the other person. Thanks Ray for your ministry.
He has so much wisdom that he appears foolish. As a learned professor, he is living his life based upon his own intelligence.
It never fails when someone says yes they have read The Bible that when they open their mouths it becomes abundantly clear they literally have no clue what it's about or what it says. He is absolutely right, Ray can't change his mind, that is something ONLY God can do if He chooses to do so. Ray planted the seed and God brings the increase, or not, praying for this Man.
Nobody understands it then by that standard since there are 400 sects within Christianity that all say the Bible meant something different that whatever others believe it meant.
@@vanwestpirate You are being dishonest. By saying "That all say bible meant something different that." It does not work like that and you know it.
That's been my experience too. I am getting better at not making into a "gotcha" when it quickly becomes obvious they either;
A.) Never did read the Bible at all, or
B.) Flew through it as quickly as possible just to be able to say they read it.
99% of the time, it turns out they never read it or maybe just skimmed through some of one of the gospels a long time ago.
Or that they studied the bible, but it was at a secular college in World Religions class.
The difference is night and day between reading the Bible saved under the guidance of the Holy Ghost, and unsaved, especially unsaved with a cynical, jaundice eye.
I'm feeling like we all need to pray for this man. Ray has planted the seed.🙌✝️👑🕊🙏☝️🙏

@@Tursla1 What makes you say that?? Ray is spreading thr Gospel and evangelizing exactly as the Bible teaches.
@@Tursla1 No he's not, listen more. Ray tells people they're not judged by works in almost every video.
Brings 😢 tears to my eyes, such a terrific conversation and can see the wheels turning in his mind. Holy spirit working in him. Just needs an adjustment in truth and I think he'll come to relationship with christ. So beautiful
that was the most genuine and most intelligent conversation I have heard you discuss with someone. I love your testimony and the logical way you exposit the gospel of Yeshua. However, with this man, there was a different mentality that probably challenged your method more so than most. He also was genuine and went away scratching his head. I too love this challenge from people as it reinforces my ability to defend my faith. 1 Peter 3:15. Thank you for sharing!
I wholly agree. Earl had clearly pondered long on certain aspects of this subject, especially from a philosophical and logical perspective. He expressed a level of respect that one should have for the Bible, if it truly is the Word of God, a level of respect that, from my perspective, many if not most Christians do not have because of inherited strongholds in Christendom, strongholds that are not easily overcome. I suspect this man, Earl, may be very close to the kingdom of God, especially if he and Ray were able to spend more time together. In fact, I think Earl could have a profound effect upon Ray and his theology of the Bible as well, given his own experience, intellect, convictions, and knowledge. It is a most interesting interaction between them.

There is hope for this gentleman because he is seeking the truth. I was in his shoes for 32 years of my life, and understand completely where he is at. Hopefully he keeps asking questions and keeps an open mind on the answers.
Why were you wearing his shoes? And didn't your feet eventually grow out of them after 32 years? And why couldn't you buy your own shoes?
I have to say that there was relief in Earl's eyes once you clarified that we didn't need to follow civil law since we have our own, but moral law. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the editing, but the look in his eyes definitely shifted after hearing you say that. Thanks for that information!
This whole thing made me happy and laugh at times just the open conversation and willingness to hear eachothers points with a smile. Lol they both pretty much said that according to eachothers belief systems they were going in two opposite directions yet they smile and enjoy eachothers presents and nobody got visually upset and had a mutual respect for eachother.

This is sad. I was an unchurched nice individual that was bound for hell, until the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to understand the good news of the Gospel and with a true heart of repentance received what Jesus Christ did on my behalf. Then I picked up my cross to follow Him.

Would it be a loving thing if I had the cure to cancer, but did not share it? I am so grateful for the people God placed in my place to show me the error of my ways and the Gospel truth. They were a vessel ( or a messanger) that God used to save my life from eternal damnation. And He gave me peace and joy despite my circumstances. He healed my broken heart. He set me free from so much trauma as a child and at the hands of my husband. It's true. God is a good Father. And anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved. Even you! God bless. And sad to say, there are a lot of hypocrites in the church. God is not pleased with that. But that doesn't change God's character. And there still are a lot of genuine sincere one.

If you are without Christ, you are without life. Period.
Jesus warned about hell more than anyone in the Bible put together.
People either heed the warning and search out the truth or they continue in their own truth (one they feel comfortable with) and stay deceived.
“Unloving”, would be to say nothing.
Jesus loves you enough to warn you through His followers. I pray you receive it, turn from your sin and receive the only savior there is. Jesus
The main reason why people don't accept Jesus as a personal savior is because there are too proud and they don't need anybody or anything.
Thank you, Ray, for your wonderful example of spreading the gospel with boldness, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, and love. Keeping you and yours, along with the people you share the gospel with in my prayers.
Mad respect to both of them, I wouldn't mind having a beer with Earl and talk. Great simple civil conversation, well done guys
I give this man who was being interviewed great credit for his patience. I do hope he reconsiders his beliefs in the future.
It's amazing how at the end he allowed you to be part of his life, that's a very big win already. 😁😁

It's so difficult to keep the structure of conversation when you are talking to a person who always has a lot to say. But, great to see Ray showing us how to do it.
That looked like a nice conversation to me. Maybe you are used to and just want to be able to talk at people.
@@danielparsignault3869 well, the thing is, there are people who you will meet only once in your life. And when we are sharing the gospel, we want them to know why it is important to be saved. And, to share the gospel , we need time to talk.
I'm not saying that letting others talk is a bad thing. But, If Ray let him talk and talk, this conversion would have gone a 100 different ways then the way Ray intended to, and they would have had a lovely time talking but this guy would never hear the gospel. And this is one of the most important conversation a person can have in life. But, Ray carefully always brought it back up and asked him to listen. And he did. And he got to know the message of the gospel.
There are times to talk and times to listen. And this was a time to listen. The enemy is very clever. He will use even the tiniest distraction to stop the gospel from being heard. So, we must be careful to not fall into the trap and get easily distracted.
I hope it makes sense.
Take care and God bless!!
@@mixedemotions6471 Thanks. So basically your text was an affirmation of what I asked. If I am not mistaken you would rather preach a pre- thought out list of bullet points, if you will, to prove your beliefs. Meaning that your beliefs do not stand up to being put under the microscope.Furthermore, am I correct in stating that you see any question or doubt of yourself as an incursion by the Son of the Morning? ( I do so love the old names.) So the free will that was granted us by the Creator counts for nothing. Does that translate to, "If some are not with you then they are against you?" This backwards statement is another way the modern church has perverted the teachings of Yeshua. Yeshua said, " If they are not against us, then they are with us!" Say both statements to yourself. Which statement sounds full of fear and foreboding? Which sounds hopeful and light? The Bible teaches forgiveness and humility but all I see and hear these days are, preservation of empire, prosperity gospel cow flop and bottomless hypocrisy.
Yeshua spoke truth to power and now the modern christian church is embedded in the power structure. In short church leaders are the romans who drove the spear into my masters side and tortured him.
Yeshua is sad over what he has been turned into...

AMAZING. This man had a lot of sincere questions but when Ray started getting down to the most important issue, the man sensed this and tried to derail it with a lot of "whataboutary". Ray's patience and love for this man in spite of that maneuver is GOD'S PATIENCE AND LOVE for this man and THAT is what really touched his heart.

There is no picking and choosing yet this is what most Christian’s do. Most Christian’s swallow the pill whole and can’t think logically for fear of eternal damnation, but at the same time lack the ability to find root cause of what lies at the heart of redemption. Personally I risk eternal damnation for the benefit of accurate thinking. The only truth is repentance, humility, and sacrifice

I told her Paul was once a murderer and was redeemed and went on to write large parts of the new testament and taught about deeds and how we can't earn our salvation and how salvation is a heart transformation, and what we do does change when we're saved but we still do dumb things and mess up but the difference is that we don't want to keep doing those things. We WANT to be better and serve Him better. She smiled and seemed to like what I had to say. 👍 So you may have won a heart just by a lady walking by listening.
And I don't think that young lady is a murderer 😆 but I think she was just trying to speak in general about sin in God's eyes.
The guy's in love with himself and his superior knowledge from his wealth of education, of seemingly Everything, then he keeps blurting out how he has No idea of any answers!! People get so very old, and they have the mind of a child! Amazing, just amazing. Way to go Mr. Ray, for your patience and understanding to be so good to people!!! I truly mean it. You've got the patience of Job. I'm a Seventh Day Adventist, and I enjoy Adventing, I do, but me oh my, is it difficult at times, especially with the arrogant ----! The mean or mad, I really try hard for, the just unbelieving, cool, love to chat, but the arrogant ----, it's all I can do to hang in there sometimes. Please keep up your good work, I watch your Videos and am picking up good skills! God Bless your big heart!
And thus a friendship was born. I’m praying it’s a goodie 😁 god bless you both
I listen to these videos almost each and every day so I can try to be even a tenth as good at sharing my faith as your are, Ray!!! I admire you so much!
You’re very pretty!
Believe in the person that you are Spread a smile whether near or far Be the person who spreads a mark Be the person who would leave a spark Don't be someone with a scar And not someone so far Be the kind you want to be The one would like to see! Where are you from friend?
Its nice that he expressed his respect for Ray sharing the gospel with strangers. Most people i know would react very negatively and claim Ray is "pushing his beliefs" onto them. In reality, this man is right, it does show an immense amount of conviction to be out there sharing the gospel.
I think Earl just heard the actual Gospel for the first time. Ever.
God be praised!
Blah blah 😑🙄😒 😢
@Blah Blahblah what was that part you were saying about clowns?
@Blah Blahblah You perfectly summarised this guy's whole channel!!
only God...has the gospel. Interviewer and interviewee don't own it.
It’s sad how many Catholics have never heard the true Gospel. All they ever heard were rules and the importance of keeping them, so they left. Plus, getting hit on the hand with rulers didn’t help
I teared up at the end I pray God reached this man.
Would you consider uploading the unedited version? This conversation should be shared in it's entirety, it's a great one.
Ray, youre amazing. I'm a Christian but i have trouble not taking many arguments personally. I know God's big enough that I dont need to defend Him, but still i try. God bless you Mate.
...it's all any believer has really...since he won't show up himself for "myterious" reasons...
Same man, I sometimes struggle watching these videos. But I'm training not to.
It's because What Ray is doing is actually a gift
Dont ever get down Ray when someone dosent immediatly receive God, He will do what is needed. Mabye he will use other people to bring them to Christ while you planted the seed.
@@robertdouglas8895 What do you mean by "a need for evil and fear God for it."? Can you elaborate a little?Thanks.
thsi moron will not be laughing on Judgment Day.
@@JesusisLOVEJohn- He's saying that forcing someone into a corner isn't a good way to convert people to Evangelism. I can attest to that since I've had countless Christains attempt it against me, to no avail.
My understanding is that Ray is not trying to "force anyone into a corner," or find evil in them so they'll great God. He's actually trying to help them recognize, that they are not good people, as Jesus also said; they are sinners who need a Savior (Jesus) to "save them from their sins," and to "bless them by turning from their wicked ways." (End of Acts 3) Etc.
Oops! "... so they'll fear God ..."
What a terrific guy, so glad you got to talk to him.
This gentleman was so thirsty for the word, he didn't realize it. Glory to God!
And a beer lol 🍺
I loved this. Nice, healthy conversation.
What a honest man and loving human.
He is not laughing at Christian beliefs not at all.
He is honest to say he does not know.
I enjoyed this. It's good to hear a respectful conversation between two opposing views.
I truly love this man. May God visit Him mightily.
Ray planted the seeds...I could tell by the change in demeanor of this guy. He has a LOT to ponder in his heart. I couldn't live without my faith and hope in what Jesus Christ did for me at Calvary. I'm a repentant sinner saved by God's MERCY and grace.
Love the way you handled it and that he was willing to stay to talk with you . Amazing
No one has a comeback like Ray Comfort. So thrilling to see the mind of Christ at work. (1 Cor. 2:16)
Ya, love it!
Mind of Christ at work....indeed well said.
@@robertdouglas8895 we judge one another Rightseously
@@robertdouglas8895 People often use the quote "judge not lest, you be judged" as a defence to continue in sin without any correction. People rarely go on and read the rest of the passage much less the rest of the chapter, and further insutuction in the entirety of the new covenant books.
He ordered us to preach to the people, and solemnly to testify that this is the One who has been appointed by God as Judge of the living and the dead. Acts 10:42
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 2 Cor. 5:10
What else did Jesus the Christ actually say?
And Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.” John 9:39
"Do not judge according to external appearance, but judge with proper judgment." John 7:24
@@robertdouglas8895 so I guess you are sticking to your story that Christ doesn't judge. Side note: We see what God's sees because He is Spirit and he reveals things by Spirit.
But just as it is written, “Things that no eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind imagined, are the things God has prepared for those who love him.” God has revealed these to us by the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the things of a man except the man’s spirit within him? So too, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things that are freely given to us. (Paul to the Corinthians)
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
All I know, is pray for this man. Hopefully, he has a change of heart and mind. The power of prayer is amazing.
That’s was a fun video to watch ! I’m really praying God can give me the wisdom to learn to speak to people like him who is so into his own way of seeing the Bible . He was a nice guy just hoping he would one day see the truth , I got the ANYONE BUT ME book I’m praying God can help me to be useable to speak to others in love and respect about the truth of salvation ! Love your videos
Good bless you and that wonderful man you spoke too (plus his wife)..
I'm happy he said "I'll think about it all the time"🙂☺️
"WHY would You take on 613 commandments, when You can't even keep 10?!?"
😄
He will see and believe. I have seen and believed.. Blessed are those who have not seen and believe. It is true. I was 12 in heaven.
None if us are...
@@darciesniegiecki2706
I simply quoted what Ray Comfort said to the gentleman he interviewed.
With all due respect, You obviously missed the irony of this comment.
@@lena-mariag.louis-charles3579 yes. I did but as I stated, it is truth.
@Blah Blahblah why do you keep perpetuating this narrative of Ray being false
I really liked this guy. Praying for his and his wife’s salvation!
To me he came off haughty
@@Gerardo-dt8xf a little, yes. I agree. Most people are prideful though!
@@localguide1611 most women are these days.
@@heathersimpson672 And what are most men?
That was such an awesome dialogue. It nice to see what happens when Ray is combated with man’s logic and hear Ray deal with it. Most often people have no real thoughts on the issue. I like how Ray has an answer to whatever is thrown at him. Depending on their response dictates the kind of answer Ray gives. I leant a lot from you Ray. Thanks for making these videos. Appreciate it. 👍
But he doesn't, the video is edited and he uses the same questions in every video. Ending with the faith that jesus died and rose on the cross. Because if jesus didn't die and rise the christian faith is uprooted.
However the videos keep me intrigued and I can see the conversation between the two spoken as how sometimes I'd like to see these thoughts addressed.
There's an analogy across the comments about a seed being planted. Your life is going to be full of decisions and each choice is a seed. So be aware how people live their life.
A pointent moment I reflect on the christian bible and the new covenant on these videos isn't so much living waters but the lack of, directly my mind thinks of jesus in the desert being tempted by the devil. It offers many questions and answers.
For example jesus being god in human form is tempted by the devil and god rejects the devil. But is the temption there because God is in human form? If yes then does this mean we have sin because we are in human flesh yet in a spiritual form (which I find hard to exsist) then would we not have the burden of sin to be tempted by?
There are lots of questions to ask.
I try to do this but fail at spreading the gospel. You are really good at this. I'll keep trying
What that guy didn't understand...when Jesus Christ came down as a man he brought with him a new covenant of the law the old covenant of sacrificial rights, stoning to death and all that was abolished but the basic principle is in the ten commandments he didn't come to change those only the way we look at all the laws the Hebrews added on later after the first 10, that's why he was disappointed in the Pharisees.
It was a New covenant between man and God.
The Pharisees certainly added to the law of the Lord but the Lord Himself gave all 613 laws not just the Ten Commandments just to clarify, I agree that Jesus confirmed a new covenant meaning we are no longer under law but grace, but I wanted to make sure you knew that, while the Pharisees added to the law which wasn’t permissible, the Lord definitely gave more then the Ten Commandments.
You are making no sense what so ever. Either he brought a new covenant and there are no rules to live by or all the laws are still intact.
@@ivillious7573 even the dietary laws changed before Jesus Christ.
So here is the minimal set of laws which apply to all people - since everyone is descended from Noah: 1) Don't murder. 2) Punish murder by capital punishment. 3) Be fruitful and multiply. 4) Eat anything you like, but not while it is alive.Aug 6, 2011
Even this last law Fischer of men Matt.
The law of sacrifice ends with the coming of the grace of Jesus.
Our laws are not the second set of commandments after the first set they're all based on the first for the times of the present.
@@mikegoose where in the bibel does it say hey you know the 613 laws that i made and you should follow. Yeah forget them just follow 10 of them. What kinda Almighty God would do that. Isn't god unchanging eternal always right?
@@mikegoose I don’t understand your comment
Very good interview. The man spoke up to what a lot of people are thinking and yet stay silent on. I pray he comes to Christ.
Keep preaching the Gospel. GOD bless you.
GOD bless that Gentleman.
Before sin, man never died.
The wages of sin is death. This man has been given the answer, and his pride has caused him to completely miss the point.
Yes Planet Earth is dying, the disease?...........Sin............the evidence is everywhere, the verdict is in.
This conversation is so truthful genuine and amusing. God bless you guys!
I'd love for them to have a follow up interview again or perhaps him and Ray sit down and have a proper discussion. Please @livingwaters make this happen
