Emotional for sure. The time I was saved I was sobbing and giving thanks over and over. Fell asleep and woke up different and what a change. I'd like to share my testimony I'm told it's good. My name is Mark Keenan. I’ve lived my entire life in the Kingdom of Fife. I’m 30 years old. I grew up in a home where religion was never really discussed. I was very fortunate to never have want for material things. My parents raised me the best they could but I was so rebellious. Growing up I was fascinated by scientific theories and fed on the teachings of evolution and Big Bang. I wasn’t religious; I was more atheistic in my world view. I rebelled and hated religion. My morality was based on what was suitable and beneficial to me. If I could do lesser evils and get away with it, it wouldn’t be an issue. I was a man of science and of logic. The idea of Jesus loving me or that he was a great man or teacher was laughable. My lifestyle was pleasure driven and one of helping family first and others around me. I did want to help others and see people do well and not suffer. Suffering was something I know a great deal about. I have suffered from mental health and physical problems most of my life. I had a suicidal depression and anxiety that started around the age of 14. Later on in life I eventually tried out Church on-and-off; maybe spent about 10 hours of my life in church before I was a Christian. I saw people had joy and hope, but didn’t understand or read the Bible. I couldn’t read a book that says the world was created around 6000 years ago when science says the earth is billions of years old. I stopped going to church and started drinking and taking party drugs with friends. I did work for a family business but it didn’t last. I tried to work for a friend but injured my back. I struggled to do any kind of physical work and my mental state didn’t help. I got to the point where my life was just full of misery and pain. I tried many suicide attempts over the years. I really couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t die. I had taken lethal doses of medications and drugs. My mind was broken; my body was broken. For some reason I continued on. I was in and out of college and on antidepressants and other medications to try to get better. I even went to lots of therapy - I saw psychiatrists and psychologists. Nothing helped. I was completely dead inside I decided to say goodbye to my close friends, saying i couldn’t live anymore. I told them, “I’m sorry but I’m in too much pain and I just want to prepare you that I’ll be leaving soon. It’s for the best.” I went through with it. I wrote yet another suicide letter and having hundreds of pain-killers ready laid out I started to quickly swallow them, desperate to end things. I went into a seizure while forcing these pills down my throat, desperate to die. This was my only way out. If my dad hadn’t found me having that seizure, I would have woken up and continued to take the pills. This was a desperation to end my life. I needed peace. I needed to be free from this wicked world. I woke up with paramedics around me. I was saying sorry to them, but really I was angry at them for stopping me. I don’t know how many times I’ve tried this. I’ve lost count. I got so desperate I decided to read the Bible in August 2013. I tried to read it but it was difficult to understand. So I decided to try and find some Christian films online. Accidently I came across a documentary, thinking it was a Hollywood film - Noah the Movie by Ray Comfort. I witnessed the good news of Jesus Christ preached in a way I could understand. For the first time it was explained to me in such simple ways. Starting from the beginning. That if you look at this building, you know it had a builder. If you look at a painting, you know it had to have a painter. If you look at creation, you know it had a creator. You can’t have the universe without a universe maker. There has to be an eternal cause. An intelligent Being that has always existed, that created time, space, and matter. I read from book of Romans: The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. I continued to watch and he explained to me that God is holy, that is perfect, and loving; without sin. He hates evil and must punish those who do evil. But I thought, “Hey I’m not such a bad guy. I haven’t killed anyone.” But he went through the Ten Commandments - God’s law - and it shocked me. I saw just how wicked my heart was. I have told hundreds if not thousands of lies, making me a liar in God’s eyes. I tried to justify my lies, but lying to someone isn’t loving them. I’ve stolen things, making me a thief. And this one caught me off guard. Jesus said if you look at a woman with lust, you commit adultery in your heart. I was very guilty of this. I’ve used God’s name in vain - using it at times as a swear word, not giving it due respect, when God has given me life and all the good things in my life - thus making me a blasphemer. I’ve hated a lot of people, and God sees hatred as murder. I saw my sin. And that’s only five of the commandments I’ve broken. I’ve looked deeper into it and I’ve broken them all. I thought, I’m in deep trouble on Judgment Day. And doing charity or good works to try make up for the evil I have done is no good. Try that while standing before a judge in a court of law. Say, “Judge, I’ve stolen and hurt people, but I’ve done a lot of good things in my life.” The judge will throw the book at you. How much more will a holy God give justice! If God is loving and good he must punish evil. God will judge me by his perfect law, and I’m deserving of eternal separation from him a place the Bible calls hell. He also told me how I could be reconciled with God through his Son Jesus Christ; that if I repent - that is, turn from all sin - and put my trust in Jesus Christ and him alone, he would take the wrath upon himself that I deserve for the evil I have done. I was shocked. I didn’t want to go to hell. I wanted everlasting life. But I didn’t want to go to church. I didn’t want to stop drinking or partying. I didn’t want to give up my freedom and surrender my will to God. I loved my sin. I said, “No! I don’t accept this. The Bible is wrong.” 2nd part in the comment below
I spent time trying to disprove the Bible, trying every method or theory out there to discredit it. I got to the point that I had proof the Bible is fact and not a book of stories. My illness put me to my knees. I was contemplating another suicide attempt. But things changed. I was so broken and twisted. Not really knowing how to pray, I cried out to God, “Save me!.” I repented on May the 4th, 2014, that night - surrendering all to God, saying “I don’t care about my depression or suffering. Let me serve you. Let me do your will.” I came to him as a servant begging for mercy knowing I deserved none. I didn’t even know he saw me as a son. He was there with open arms. I remember saying, “Everything I am, was, and always will be, is yours” - repeating this over and over. God set me free that night. An overwhelming peace came over me. Crying my eyes, out thanking him over and over, I did not have any other words but “Thank you.” I fell asleep and woke up totally different. I had peace and my depression gone and my anxiety manageable - all surrendered to Christ. My eyes were opened and I was healed of a lot of my illnesses, and I have been seeking after truth ever since - walking in total obedience to God’s loving Word. Since I’ve been a Christian my life has completely changed. I no longer follow the things of this world. My addictions to alcohol/drugs and junk food have gone. My depression just disappeared and my anxiety to a manageable state. I’m truly happy and have joy I thought I could never have. I have peace and a relationship with God, knowing he is always watching and when I fall he’s right there to pick me back up. But I’m still a sinner. I often speak in anger when I see wrong or people do wrong against me - and I always regret taking my opinions and actions too far. I’ve been guilty of this all through my walk as a Christian. It’s something that’s very difficult for me and I pray and ask God to work in me, to change me. It’s a slow process but it’s happening. I see God teaching me to have patience and to be kind to others. It’s not easy. I’m trying to help people; I really am! It’s hard to help so many people when I’m struggling to sort myself out. My mind’s still not in the best shape, or my body. The Bible says you reap what you sow. I’m suffering because of my sin. I’m forgiven by God’s grace but there’s a lesson in life. And it’s a hard one. God can heal me of everything. But if everything in my life was perfect, how will that shape my character? Would I depend on God? No. I rejoice in my suffering, because its brought me to my knees before him. If I hadn’t suffered from so much sickness I would still be out there drinking and doing foolish things, wasting the money and gift of life God has given me. I’m glad my suffering put me where I am today. It’s nothing in comparison to an eternity separated from him. People ask how a loving God can send someone to hell. The Bible shows us. How can a loving God not punish a murderer or one who’s done evil. Know this. God won’t force you into his presence. If you don’t want Jesus now, you won’t want him in eternity. God will give you what your heart desires. My heart desires to do what’s right, to love God and those around me. I really wish I could explain better how loving and great God is. I look to the cross. Jesus said that there is no greater love than this, that one should lay his life down for another. And that’s exactly what Jesus did. And he did it for all - even the worst of the worst. You can’t out sin God’s grace. Everyone can come to him and he’ll make them new, changing every desire and giving them peace and a joy that cannot be stripped away. Two years ago on this very month if I hadn’t opened my Bible, the people who know me would’ve been at a funeral. But instead you’re here to witness God’s grace and a new birth. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. I’m being baptised today, not because it gives me eternal life, but because it’s a sign of my obedience to God and a symbol of what it is to be made new. I confess faith in Christ; Jesus has cleansed my soul from sin, through his loving sacrifice on that cross and I now have a new life in him. When I think of God one thing springs to mind: freedom! I’m free from spiritual death; free from darkness; free from the judgment to come. I’m free to love him and those around me. I’m free from that crippling depression and anxiety. Who the Son sets free, is free indeed. Amen!!! I was saved about 40 days after I watched rays Noah and the last days. Might of been 40 but my memory is terrible. The day I was saved I also had a dream that day or day after of Noah's ark it was huge! Months after I was saved i Also seen a sign in the heavens of an upside down rainbow when I was at the entrance of a park I was praying to the LORD if he was pleased with me and what I needed to change. I can't remember all the details but I may of been continuing the thought and prayer what do I need to change and asking if the Lord was pleased with me and About 10 minutes later on top of the hill I look up and I see this upside down rainbow in the sky like a smile from God. Put a smile on my face believe me oh how amazing is the LORD to change us to live Holy by his Grace. I have a picture of the upside down rainbow if u want to see it. Email me on marksof3@hotmail.com
@@ishalljr Ivan. I have a staff to pay so that they can pay their rent, put food on their table, pay for gas in their cars, have insurance, pay electricity bills, etc. Perhaps that didn’t enter your thoughts. Stay safe sir. Best wishes, Ray Comfort
Im a grown man sitting inside a laundry mat , I nearly burst into tears watching this , he felt The holy Spirit and Gods call to repentance , when he started crying it was strikingly familar ! Anyone Reading this , its not a joke Jesus is the truth , you can have his forgivness peace and salvation all u do is ask him
@@mariazimdars4058 And he wishes to have a relationship by being in his word and talking to him as you would anyone. He says to fellowship with other believers.
mariazimdars4058, Please remember that demons believed in Jesus. So we must also ask forgiveness of our sins, turn from our sins and obey the Word of God. God Bless You.🙏🏽🙏🏻
Romans 10:9-10, 13 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Always put God first and accept Jesus as your lord and savior always. Jesus died for us and he wants us to do better. So always help people in need that way you can show him you love him, amen.
Honesty bought me to atheism. Christianity cannot be true. Jesus’ promises fail how can he be trusted? For example, Jesus said you will receive whatever you ask in prayer Matthew 21:22 And whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive it all.” NASB version This is obviously false.
@@ALLINCAPZBANGINONWACKZ805 I’m a simple man. I’ve asked for miracles I’ve also asked for mundane things. Nothing miraculous happened. This contradicts the promise of Jesus whereby ANYTHING you ask for should happen. I even heard about an evangelist Nick Vujic buying shoes even though he has no legs and feet in faith that God will grant his wish. So clearly this is a false promise
@@ALLINCAPZBANGINONWACKZ805 thanks for your reply. I’m a simple man. If someone is promising me ANYTHING that I ask for, and I believe them but they don’t deliver, then I stop believing them. They can’t be truthful. Jesus didn’t have to promise to give whatever you ask for and yet the promise has been made and is false. So I don’t believe in Jesus. Maybe there are other Gods out there who are honest but I have not found them.
You can tell he has a deep heart. Being this young and contemplating these things seriously on his own. His soul was searching & found rest in Jesus. Thank you Lord.
I grew up a Christian but I lived very much like a lukewarm Christian. When I saw this video back in April, it affected very deeply because the kid reminded me of myself. I was brought to tears a few days later and realized the grace and mercy of God. I was convicted with my sins and sought to change some bad habits in my life. Thank you for this video Living Waters. It’s changed the way I view being a Christian!
To let you guys know my comment was deleted for saying what yeshua said. He said the kingdom of heaven is within you. Do not look say the kingdom of heaven is here or there for the kingdom of heaven is within you. This channel is hiding the words of yeshua(Hebrew for Jesus) the anointed or simply lacks knowledge of the scripture one of the 2. Where did he ascend? To heaven where is heaven? Inside us. Where is the father? In heaven inside us. What we have here is refusal to believe the way truth and life which is what yeshua the image of god said god is. Really should believe that we are connected and came from god. “If you have seen me you have seen the father for I am in the father and the father in me and I in you. What about the verse it’s no longer I who live but Christ (anointed)who lives in me? Do you believe that? Or do you reject the creation god made to say that something that is truth is a lie? What about the verse where concerning judgement day where the father says anything you have done to the least of these you have done to me? Is the father a liar? What about when yeshua the anointed said that we are gods to whom the word came? What about when yeshua called peter satan which means adversary. What about the verse where it says let god be the truth and every man be the liar? Who is the beast? Every man. So when I tell the truth I am god when I lye I am satan how do I know? A good tree CANNOT produce bad fruit and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. Another parable spoken from the mouth of god. I wish ray believed the Bible when it says the wages of sin is death and not eternal damnation in fire. It does say we are tossed into fire but the fire is Holy Spirit when people were baptized in fire they weren’t running around because they were burning but running around because they were joyful and happy. What about when it says that whoever hears and does my words have passed from death to life? Do you believe that? Do you believe yeshua when he said the father has not sent him into the world to condemn it but that through him( the way truth and life) the world may be saved. John 3:18 yeshua said HERE IS THE CONDEMNATION THAT LIGHT(understanding) HAS COME INTO THE WORLD AND MEN LOVED DARKNESS(ignorance) RATHER THAN LIGHT BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS WERE EVIL. There is what the lord says condemnation is. Also he says whoever does the will of the father is his mother and brother. Wow it’s amazing how many demons come out of our body the temple (where the son of partition sits)when we believe what was said by the one we base our religious beliefs off of instead of believing what preachers say. Because they teach the opposite and act like we have to pray to a far off god in an unbiblical heaven. Believe when it says all of his substance is given to you and believe when it says we are coheirs to the throne of god.
@@anawilson2671 Matthew 6:33 ESV / 2,131 helpful votes But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
A lot of seekers get derailed, as I did, into “New Age” philosophies. They are so “feel good” that the truth of Jesus is obscured. I’m humbled and thankful that God brought me out of my delusion. I’m very touched by this young man’s awakening, as well. Praying for him.
Yesterday, I got very shocked that i don’t like praying. I relied on attention and feeling, it’s nervous genetic. Good thing I never attended public schools.
lmao and what do Marxists do? The exact same thing, they are blind and faithful that what they are doing is the right thing, Communism is the opium of the failures@@wenterinfaer7868
This young man was already seeking Jesus but couldn't find. And through this interview, he found Him! His heart was already so thirsty for Jesus. It warmed my heart to see him accept Our Blessed Lord. May God Bless Ray and Mario for this beautiful meeting.
You can see the pain on this kids face that he has had some issues being loved in his life. Bless his heart, he seems so sweet and kind. I pray he sticks with Jesus and grows in that.
@@MRZazuzulala real men cry. Boys may not have gone through enough to cry yet but a man who has lived on this Earth and has grasped some true sense of his life before a mighty God and in Gods magnificent universe knows that there is a proper time to cry !
AMCP Mario. So glad you have entered Gods spiritual family. I cried like a baby for at least 15 minutes when I came to Christ at 26 years old. I don't know what makes a unsaved person cry before they accept Christ. At least I know I am not the only one that cried when I came to Christ 45 years ago. God Bless you Mario. Amen.
I too felt like giving Mario a big hug. You can tell he has a wonderful personality and empathetic towards others. He is going to change people’s lives. He is wise beyond his years.
Thank you Lord for touching Mario's heart and opening his understanding to the gospel. Please Lord make your light be a lamp to his feet guiding him on the narrow path. AMEN ALILUAH PRAISE THE LORD,, 🙏
@@harryk8696 hey Jesus loves you, and I know that you identified with this video. It is not manipulation, it is just the truth you need (Jesus Christ), and you are struggling with yourself without wanting to accept it. God bless you🙂
I'm sure this man is better now after accepting Jesus into his ❤️... Praise God and God bless you and your team Ray!! If it wasn't for you and many past interviews...who knows where they would be?
It's absolutely amazing how we all see things differently. And how insistent some people are in how they see things, is how everyone else should see them.I wanted to say he looks so exhausted because it's probably about 105° in Bellflower California, lol. What I see is a very gullible kid that is out talked by someone that is a scammer, and this whole thing ends with the scam about selling books. he tells the kid that the kid himself admitted to being a liar a thief a fornicator at heart etc. go back and listen to the little conversation. the kid never said he felt that way about himself at heart, in fact he said he felt quite the opposite about himself at heart. This guy literally pulled the rug out from underneath this kid at a very gullible age, and now this guy is trying to sell books on how you can do this to other people too! think about it folks.This older man was playing on this young kid and playing on the kids guilt. guilt is instilled in us by society and by a**holes like this old man. This is also known as being a con man, or a confidence man using the same technique creepy old men use to talk young boys and little children into who knows what.
His heart was ready. It doesn’t take much when their heart is broken and ready for God to fill it. This was beautiful. Praying for Mario that he will never forget this day
Oh yes, so unfortunate! Why can't every kid in America stop what they're doing when a strange, unknown man stops them in the street, and literally believe every single thing they tell him about some religion. Yeah, the world would be so much better if everyone was gullible and trusting of randos.
This young man looks just like my son,I literally saw my son seeing him.GOD loves you.This brought tears to my eyes.I hope my son accept GOD in his heart one day.
@@chrissonofpear1384 God gives everyone and everything free will. He wants to see your true heart. Therefore not even the Angels know when Jesus will return because even the Angels have free will and can choose to betray God or stand with him. This earth is terrible because we get to see everyone's true heart, free will shows all.
🍓 I can feel that Mario was having some personal issues the time when he was interviewed. Jesus knew it was the right moment to help Mario come to Him.
The way you worded that made me realize that I forgot God uses people or events when you most need it or when as a reminder. Still on my journey to God ... my spiritual reawakening if im not there yet
@Kevin Belgrove pleaseee stop with that.. Many Many ppl dont know the name Yeshua and know it by Jesus and God knows this..in His mercy He knows they are referring the Man of the cross who died for our sins and was risen in the 3rd day...when i heard of the Gospel many years ago i never knew YESHUA because im NOT hebrew... i was SAVED in Jesus name!! And yes Yeshua is great and is His name but He does NOT condemn ppl to hell or wont save ppl that dont call him His hebrew name many ppl dont know
@Kevin Belgrove There is no real name that is confirmed by everyone. It is based on religion. Everyone has a different religions and therefore different name for gods.
I watched this about 2 years ago and it made me cry. I watched it again today and it made me cry again! You can see his heart in his eyes. May God call him for greater ministry. I also love the way you share the gospel!
same, i remember watching it when it first came out but i paid attention more to the way Ray was preaching the gospel. now as i watch it, immediately i can tell that mario has such a beautiful heart and was going through something at the time. his whole philosophy was on spreading love and being positive and it was probably because he has been hurt by people. it’s evident to me now that He encountered the Holy Spirit and i hope that wherever he is right now, that he’s doing ok and following God.
Agree. I fully respected his honest, vulnerability. Sometimes people who aren't yet Christians have been prompted by God, and are more ready than other people to receive Jesus. That is precisely where Mario was when this video was filmed. Ray finished off what God had started long ago. Mario, the road to the kingdom is hard, but Jesus will always be with you.
To let God in you have to be. Your whole life depends on who you trust, who you trust with what and who you trust to what degree. If u trust yourself over God, u loose, if you trust God above all else, and this is coming from experience when i was at my lowest is a long time, I rose with him, despite being hesitant and unknowing, I followed him, back to the light, bc he is the light.
What a sham. It is all about indoctrination plain and simple. In North America it is the jesus story, in China it is about Buddha, India Hindu, etc. There are over 4,200 different religions in the world and we are all a product of what country we were born in and/or who our parents are.
Wow so beautiful and powerful this young boy was touch and I also got touch while I watched this video I'm crying so heavy true very true. Man think they are God but no we just a creation dust but we are loved so much by our CREATOR GOD ALMIGHTY WHO BECAME LIKE US HUMANS DIED ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SIN AND SAVED US WHEN HE ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD AND NOW HE IS ALIVE AND LIVING FOREVER. PRISE GOD SO BEAUTIFUL TIME OF SHARING AND HOW HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD MOVES IN AND TAKE HEART OF THE YOUNG BOY. I JUST CRIED TEARS FLOWED FROM MY EYES JUST BY WATCHING AND LISTENING THEM ON THIS VIDEO SHARING TOGETHER WOW. THANK YOU JESUS THANK YOU RAY AND BLESS YOU MARIO. GOD BLESS
@ pure hearted....in a sense of humbleness....you can see the humble in him ....the word of God came easy for him. Not ALL PEOPLE CAN PERCEIVE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mario had an open heart. He was so honest and patient to listen to Ray right till the end instead of walking away. I believe THE HOLY SPIRIT was already at work in Mario before Ray talked to him. Go bless Mario.
I am a 63 year old biker, I was born again in 93. I still can not speak about our Lord without my throat squeezing shut and my eyes flooding. I understand what he is feeling completely.
No one comes unto the father unless they humble themself like a little child. We must humble ourselves and seek him with loving childlike faith. God Bless you brother
And People want to try and unhitch the Christian faith from the OT in the name of evangelism. Thanks Ray for sharing, this was beautiful. God bless Mario!!
I cry like this alot when I worship, when I think about Jesus, God's Word. It's amazing how the LORD and the Holy Spirit can grip a ♥. The unconditional love of God we don't deserve but because Jesus paid the price we are redeemed.
Yup you can see through it. It’s not bad, but many people do this because they are hurting inside. We have to let go, glad ray allowed him to let go by giving him truth.
@Ras Scotty nah. You just don’t know how to read it. Give me some examples and I’ll explain. Also. If you didn’t know. I’m guessing you don’t. Whatever is in the Old Testament rules don’t apply to us. It was for the Jewish people during THAT SPECIFIC time. The New Testament is the NEW covenant for the gentiles AKA non Jews. Do your research and know what you’re speaking on before even speaking
You should be hoping for the opposite. If you sincerely believe what you believe to be true, it should hold up to question. We apply this to just about every single thing we believe in-even opinions. I feel bad for him, being brought to tears so he would resent living a completely healthy lifestyle. Lying and thievery are bad things conceptually but I doubt this kid has ever caused significant harm to other people. I bet you the most harm he’s done and most of us have done has been through other means than lying or stealing. It’s a dogmatic fear of lying and thievery that makes us look at them as worse than they are. Don’t confuse me, I’m not defending either of those things, but sometimes they happen and are not as big a deal as other things we do and ultimately don’t affect much. He shouldn’t be brought to tears for just living and committing small misjudgments out of some fear of something he can’t be sure of overreacting about those things.
@@dncovjsbeicj Hello:) The thing is is that at heart, in the flesh, and without Christ dying on the cross and living within us we are bad at heart. We are selfish and greedy, we do things we know are wrong, the list goes on. I know I still struggle with those things as well. If it wasn’t a big deal, a completely innocent man, the Son of He who created the universe, wouldn’t have died for you or for me. It doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it is. We are sinners. And because of Christ we can be forgiven. The things he listed that he did are things that seem pretty common to do, nobody seeks to harm other people, that’s not our intention, and yet it happens. We think we’re good people but at heart we aren’t. That’s why Christ’s death on the cross is so important. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions or anything. :)
@@dncovjsbeicj For real... That boy is PURE LOVE and the interviewer didnt teach him anything more than his Soul had shown him. It was old paradigm fear based oppression teaching him to repent on being a child of Love. This is a very strange video - the interviewer was like an angry dad. God is the judge and this preacher is acting like he is here to judge... funny that... x
The way he said that God came up with the idea that depending on what you do here you are either good or bad is so crushing. He felt the impossible weight on his shoulders. What torture it is to live like you always have to live up to expectations, to be perfect, never make a mistake, be good all the time otherwise you will go to hell. Abba, thank you for your freedom, for your never ending love and the way you made for us!
Exactly!!! So many men and women get defensive when you lay it out and tell them they need to repent and change their ways or even let them know that they have sinned and need to accept that they have sinned and are a sinner and true forgiveness is from God and salvation was bought through Jesus on the cross
I think he knows the truth but tries too suppress it like me 💀😭 ngl I would have much rather lived in ignorance Edit because ignorance is bliss right ?
The fact that a 10 minute interview had this much of an impact on a kid who was just trying to figure his life out proves that faith in God is a very real and very powerful thing
It actually hit me when you said, God became a human to die for our sins legally. I started tearing up since I can't imagine that he died for us because of our own doings and actions. God, I love you and will always will. Amen 🙏
i feel mario was searching for a answer or a sine and GOD answered him and WHAT A moment when you feel the holy sprit just go tru you and i thank God that we witnessed this
@Ras Scotty I think you have a wrong idea of the bible and the love of Jesus. I pray that you read the bible and that God open's your eyes to His love, grace and peace
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM! Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. RSV Only-monos God-theos Monos theos Monotheism The Father Jesus is the one sent by the true God (the Father)! Jesus never claimed to be God, Jesus said he has a God! Jesus has a God! Jesus died! God can’t die! God raised Jesus from the dead!
this dude literally made me tear up myself bruh. i've recently just admitted and started repenting for ALL of my dirty sins and I know it feels overwhelming and honestly sometimes I don't feel like I deserve it but I know god loves me so so so much and I love him so so so much so I know how he feels.
Mario, you brought me to tears. No shame brother (as Scott just said). I needed that message as badly as you did. And you have a kind heart and the Lord will work wonders through you. God bless you.
Did jesus personal tell you , that he loves him?? I dont think it did. Yet you speak on some made up guys behalf. Thats fraud and lying. Be a better human!
Yes, I feel he has suffered too! To be stronger than the hurt, he concocted and clung to a belief system that made him feel better about himself. Only the Holy Spirit’s salve can help us see what real love feels like, and it’s OVERWHELMING when we realize we no longer have to be strong, just rely on the One who is.
“Do you know why you’re weeping” “Because I’ve sinned, as a man...” That response is so genuine and human. This young man really had his eyes opened by the Holy Spirit in this video. The veil was lifted!
@@leeyanloke8650 Maybe I shouldn't criticize you for what you're doing, but if you want to spread God's word effectively as opposed to turning people away from God because of these bot-like messages, try actually doing something effective and make a short or something...
well he's weeping cause he got scared as soon as the interviewer painted the picture of capital punishment, before he mentioned Jesus. That's how religions get their followers.
@@sumrandomguy4860 you're literally changing the kids answer for him to fit and validate your ideas and past experience with religion, that is ridiculous.
@@DaveGirma-ni7px you can not resist to the Holy Spirit but God gaved us the chance to have a choice, if we don't want to look to the truth we can. (sorry for my english)
Here is the Original Semitic Text, in Moshe (Moses) own handwriting YaH The Heavenly FATHER was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
@@Praise___YaH I am a Jewish believer, I read and speak Hebrew, what you just wrote is nonsense. I'm sure you mean well but what you wrote has nothing to do with the meaning of the text nor the work of repentance in Mario's heart.
Preying on an emotional boy, making him cry by causing him to feel guilty for "sinning" and that his only way out is to repent to "god" - profoundly immoral in my book
Jesus didn’t pay a fine, for we never sinned. The message of the crucifixion is that death does not exist (hence Jesus said Father forgive them for they know not what they do) , and the message of the gospel is not that of crucifixion but that of resurrection. People seem to forget the whole resurrection part because they’re so focused on their sins. Jesus didn’t see sinners, when he looked at maria magdalene or zacheüs, he saw Himself in them, He saw them as whole. THAT is what changed their lives, not the message that they were sinners and bad people, but the look of someone who saw them as whole, for they were never seperated from God, and that is what Jesus reminded them of.
Christians made forgiveness into an act of making sin real. Real forgiveness though is quite the opposite: forgiveness sees that what you thought someone did to you never happened. It is looking beyond what you thought was an attack on you, and realising that you are invulnerable, for God did not make a vulnerable creation, His creation is whole and perfect. We look at the world and see quite the opposite, because out vision is blurred. We are identified with our body, and so we try to use the body as proof of out vulnerability. We use time and even death to proof how vulnerable we are. The thought that we are the body makes us think we are a victim of this world. But those that are aware of perfect safety give freely, for they have everything, and by sharing their being with everyone, they learn about the infinity of their being. They extent their peace into every part of life, and so discover they are everywhere and everyone. Their light heals their brothers for it takes away the darkness of the world by showing the world it was never in darkness, it has never lost its light.
There’s no telling how many people he will save... he understands that love is important, and that’s most of the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM! Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. RSV Only-monos God-theos Monos theos Monotheism The Father Jesus is the one sent by the true God (the Father)! Jesus never claimed to be God, Jesus said he has a God! Jesus has a God! Jesus died! God can’t die! God raised Jesus from the dead!
I have known Christ and went to church for more than two decades, and this man made me cry and moved my soul... I felt such sympathy towards him I hadn't felt for an adult for a long time ( children make a great exception)
I don’t get tired of watching this one. It gets me teary eyed every time. I clipped a short of this and posted it on my channel since Ray gave me permission, thanks Ray. Everyone needs to see this.
God has been guiding that kid since he was young. You can tell by his "guided unguidedness" he had no direction in life but he knew something about something good he couldn't put a finger on. How beautiful.
I think the Lord has worked on me for a long time, too. Accepted Jesus over a year ago, but I think things went much further back than that. I had righteous grandparents. Never once did I hear a blasphemy from them. Really good, yet simple people. Never wanted to get mixed up with anything shady. Had a great aunt (grandmother’s sister) who would get teary eyed during Christmas carols. Never really understood that until recently!
So well expressed, Big Hoss! Watching this encounter, I could just sense what a beautiful young man he was, but I could sense even more just how much he was hungrily looking to grasp onto something that his current beliefs could not even begin to satisfy. What a treasure this encounter turned out to be not only for him but also us who need to be reminded and assured once again of God's forgiveness and grace and a love that will not let us go. How happy I am for this young man and for Ray Comfort who in such a loving way was able to reach out to him with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God!
The tears are not emotions, the tears are the Holy Spirit moving on him to convict him of his sin so he repents and asks forgiveness. You don’t often see this on film.
That’s Godly sorrow. Praise God. God is so good! And bless this guy’s heart. His willingness to receive the truth so quickly is astonishing. I remember how difficult I made it. I will be praying for Mario. Praise God!!!!
- Mario was actually on the complete WRONG track. He, just like everyone else, had to completely turn from his self-centeredness and turn to Christ. To not acknowledge the death of our Savior as all significant, and not claim it as our payment for sin, is to do the absolute MOST evil thing we can do on this Earth. Worthy of eternal death..... "There is a way that seems right unto man but the end thereof leads to death." Proverbs I hope Mario is still serving Christ today.
@@redfaux74 yes I agree. What i meant is that i could tell by his demeanor and his hunger for love that he just needed his love to be led in the right direction.... that being JESUS... prayerfully Ray's talk with him made Jesus is #1 priority on how to receive and give that love.
Jesus as per Christianity probably didn't exist. St. Paul who never met Jesus (except in visions/hallucinations) founded Christianity and laid out his philosophy in his letters long before the Gospels were written. The Gospel of Mark and the others were written long after the Jesus era. The Jewish Bible belongs to the Jews but were commandeered by the Christians. The Old Testament prefigures Nothing in the 'New' Testament. This young man was confused to start with but he was confused AND upset when his head was filled with preachy nonsense.
Praise The Lord for this young man’s honesty. God will use him to fulfill His plan and purpose for God to get the Glory!! Bless this young man’s heart!!! I wish and pray all will be well with his soul!! 🙏❤️
I like him. He was open and patient. Focused on love. He just needed this wake up call to aim that love the correct direction. I don’t think they met by accident. Well done, Living Waters.
What he said about doing everything in love is true but impossible without God's Spirit. Truly, God sent Ray that day just like how He sent Peter to the person in Acts whose "offerings have gone up to God."
I’m 20 years old and it recently hit me, Jesus died for us. I’ve heard it a million times but never truly understood what it meant. One day I was praying for forgiveness and I believed that I deserved hell for my sins. Then it hit me, Jesus died for everyone’s sins… He sent his son to suffer and die for all of our sins. To me that is just overwhelming.
God has been with me all my life and I knew it as a kid but this world, this life and new age teachings led me astray from real love in Jesus. As a kid I used to pray to God and i always knew God looked out for me, but not until recently was my heart truly opened to accepting Jesus as our Saviour and truly understand the meaning of His sacrifice, that led me to understand sin and how we are born sinners but through Jesus we are truly saved 🤍 im 26, and it is such a relief to have Jesus in my life and the Word of God to guide me
If he did die for our sins, then why are we still sinning? When I was a Christian , just like you, I did pray for forgiveness and everything and I haven’t received anything. I asked for his presence and I got nothing even though I’ve waited weeks. I think you’re just delusional my friend sorry to say. Edit: believe me when I say this. There’s no God. I could pray right now, and nothing would happen, and I will just be wasting my time.
i remember when i was in 7th grade, we were learning about different religions of the world and i was totally fine the whole way through, then we got to christianity. i felt something in my soul, and when it showed the crucifixion, the whipping and the blood going down his face as he carried that cross, i started crying in class wondering why everyone else wasn’t. even though i knew it was an actor i knew it really happened. i gave my life to the Lord a year later. 🙏🏼😭
Stay true to him, He's coming back now, after so long a time. All signs are POINTING TOWARDS home. May JESUS HOLD you close to HIS HEART and SAVE you by HIS GRACE.
@@michaeljacob3778 The almost same thing happened to me ,but i choosed Islam cuz i felt it in my heart and my soul just like you.Christianity and Islam are so similar u can't change my mind hahah,and love you 💕
@@zehra309 Haha. Its funny how amongst everyone that Is under this comment, you tag me to say this..😁. I think its the lords doing and you never know, i just might be able to not change your mind, but make you see clearer. I think God directed you to me cause unlike several other Christians, i don't seem to have/hold the same opinion they do as pertaining to the Islamic religion.. If this was some other platform, i would have shared you screenshots of me defending y'all on some of the false things Christians say(ignorantly anyways) about yall.. The only thing id require you to have is an open heart/mind. Cause its possible to be sincerely wrong. But when your beliefs becomes a god to you, much more than the Actual God its talking about, that's where you'd have a problem. Ive studied so many religions. When i was done(at least with the most popular ones), i knew that all these talk about labels(im Christian, I'm Muslim, Baha'i, etc) is just folly if you don't really know/understand the God you say you worship. To know that it's the lifestyle we should live by as Humans, and not just a religion with only rituals and no fellowship. But id be honest with you and tell you plainly. Christianity is truer/complete than any Other..
The trinity was 'invented' about 300 years 'after' the 'apparent' death of Jesus. And about the God taking human form (meaning Jesus), well, Jesus never said that anywhere in any place of the Bible.
@@NoSenseEtAl Yes He did. He told his disciples that he had to "go away" so that "the helper could come" and if he didn't go away, the helper could not come. If he was in the flesh constantly on earth, there would be no need for the helper aka the Holy Spirit. The helper is the Holy Spirit. Also, Jesus claimed many times that God was His father. God also publicly claimed Jesus as His son during His baptism. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All right there in the gospels if you actually read them! Be blessed, God's people! He's coming back SOON! ✝
@@beautifulseventeen9636 yeah give it another 2000+ years. I just wonder how god came up with these ideas, how did he think that one day he’d make humans? And if gods such a smart being and knows everything, then what inspired us to be created? Where did his power to make us come from, theirs got to be an origin for the power that he has, some other thing must have had it there for god to obtain and use. And if he just showed up one day then how did he get the idea to even use it? Atleast someone who believes in evolution can make sense of their origins, and can give reasons that have proof to them. The only inconsistent one here is god, who doesn’t say anything about his origin.
When he said: " Because i'm a sinner "; that's it. That's the first step towards salvation. You need to understand and recognize why you need to be save or else the whole thing won't make sense to you.
@4:48 AM please 100% man 100% God? So who died on the tree Jesus man or Jesus God. So how many gods are there when he came to do the work of the father?
@@mimountiber6416 there’s only 1 God but 3 in 1- God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. It’s hard to understand it but the Bible says blessed are those who believe than see. Think of it as the sun, the sun is 1 right? But has 3 separate functions. 1 function is heat, the other is light and another; energy. God the Father would be energy, God the Son/Jesus would be the light and the heat would be God the Holy Spirit, the sun itself is God. I know it’s hard to understand but we’re not supposed to totally understand it but have faith. Faith is the key. God bless you
So true. This boy had a real conversion. Too many people don't have a broken and contrite heart. He certainly did. God bless him. When someone is saved you don't have to convince them that they are saved. They KNOW IT for certain from that moment forward.
@@mariahconklin4150 the way he was crying at the end showed the Holy Spirit working because sorrow for sin is a sign of repentance and that he wants to now give his life to Christ and live truly in Him
At 7:00 your voice changes, so emotional; we cry with you Mario, God bless you young man, you already inspired and touched hearts of lots of God’s children. 🙏✨🫶
@@carlstevenson1366 - Love is definitely NOT God. God is love but keep that quote in context. God has many attributes, Holy, wise, all knowing, jealous.... The thing we must put higher than love is Gods Word. Without it, love gets tainted. Love is easily turned into lust and perversion without holiness and wisdom. It must all come together.
Wow. This dude had an open heart, notice how he didnt go into defense mode and attack the message that was being delivered. His heart was open and so his eyes and ears were open.
Yes!! I noticed that right away. It's such a relief to see someone, especially an adolescent, respond in such a way and not in immediate retaliation, like the accuser would!!

@Élővizek Forrása yes that is called being religious/having faith. There is no proof god/jesus exist yet you are compelled to believe in them no matter what. That is the definition of being religious.

What a sweet young man. He started out so self righteous and by the end of Ray’s evangelism, he realized his sin. I pray the world doesn’t pull him back into that new age crud he that he has been so reliant on his whole life. “Lord Jesus, bless and keep him in your bosom.”
I need a miracle to solve so many problems, I have to ask so it will be given to me.

The wallet address is inside this comment, kindly like it too, I will appreciate. God bless you.
I'm copying a comment by Marjhun Cantago from above that says the truth how deceiving and even disgusting was that conversation not in the spirit of God at all!!! "God brought Ray Comfort to him? No. that guy Scared him big time, that's not how god's apostle approach his people. that's so wrong." This missionary guy is nothing different from those who sent Jesus to the Cross.
Isn’t this beautiful!! The holy ghost flooded this boy’s soul. I’m starting to come back to my faith I’m always a late comer. But watching the spirit work into this boys heart is so powerful
As a mom, I would’ve just wanted to quickly get to the good news and give him a hug but it was important for Ray too help convict him of his sin. He was working with the Holy Spirit to convict of sin, righteousness and judgment. Praise God. My eyes were riveted on his face and rejoice exceedingly that he surrendered!
Keep at it my Sister!!! :) It's hard for ALL of us in this World that's headed to the Pit. The devil doesn't attack those already doing his will, he doesn't need to bc they're already working for him... he wants to win those souls from Jesus, from Our Father, and chase us away from being filled with the wisdom and discernment and love of the Holy Spirit. He must fight hard to bring us out of the light of Jesus and into his eternal darkness, torture, and burning. That's why God prepared us a verse to equipt us with The Full Armour of God! Might I suggest we all implement this into our daily morning prayer, especially in these last days until the day of our salvation arrives! I don't know you, but I love you and I'll catch you up in Heaven ;)
Im also a teenager, I’m 15. I have definitely struggled to get to the place I am now. It is NEVER going to be easy! Each day we fight against the currents of this world. May God give you the strengths you need to keep going on in his path. God bless you 😊🙏🏽
This was so extremely heartwarming. It was crazy how you could see him realize that what he’s been searching for all along was God, not himself. I wish him the best as he grows in his faith.

My name is Sophia and I am 10 years old, and I have a friend name Rosie and her and her family are beyond atheist, I am going to talk to her about faith next time I see her, I have talked to many pastors about examples on how to bring up faith and one of the many examples i will use is the plane and parachute, please pray for me and my friend Rosie, thank you Mr. Comfort.😁
That's so sweet. ❤ By the way, don't worry or feel bad if your friend rejects God, the important thing is that you make hew know that Jesus loves her. We all have different times when it comes to knowing God and accept him in our hearts.
This video actually had a part in saving me, I was lukewarm and barely even considered myself a Christian other than just nominally. But rays words were just TEARING through me and I felt myself in the same position as Mario and cried along with him. I’m 18 now I got saved a month before my birthday and my life has changed, my eyes have opened and they cannot be closed, I still struggle with sin but have never felt so powerful in fighting it. I thank you ray, and praise to Jesus Christ for saving me!
Praise the Lord for his work in you through this video! Hope you can find a good, solid church that can help you continue to walk in him, just as you received Him. :)
God bless you! Great testimony. Be happy you found the Truth early. I was a nominal/false Christian and when I turned 21 I went full atheist and later dabbled in some new age circles. Thankfully Jesus rescued me from those deceptions a couple of years ago now. My life has changed and God continues to reveal more and more to you, and continues to refine and sanctify you. I thought I loved my atheist life but nothing the secular world can offer begins to compare to knowing and following Jesus. The Truth is so much more beautiful than the lies. God bless

Hi, I'm a teenager and christian and i have a question. There’s something that's on my mind for so long. In the Bible, it says that we can only enter heaven if we believe in God and Jesus. But...what happens to all these people who were born into another religion? What happens to the people who live in countries that aren't christian? What happened to all these people who lived before Jesus, or who believed in other Gods (which is normal, and ok). What happens to the babies who died before knowing who God was? Do they all go to hell? Do they all suffer for eternity just because of that? I think that this exact question keeps me from having a better relationship with god😭
Did you know we release a new podcast twice a week? Experience the lively discussions and theological insights of The Living Waters team. livingwaters.com/podcast/
Emotional for sure. The time I was saved I was sobbing and giving thanks over and over. Fell asleep and woke up different and what a change. I'd like to share my testimony I'm told it's good. My name is Mark Keenan. I’ve lived my entire life in the Kingdom of Fife. I’m 30 years old.
I grew up in a home where religion was never really discussed. I was very fortunate to never have want for material things. My parents raised me the best they could but I was so rebellious.
Growing up I was fascinated by scientific theories and fed on the teachings of evolution and Big Bang. I wasn’t religious; I was more atheistic in my world view. I rebelled and hated religion. My morality was based on what was suitable and beneficial to me. If I could do lesser evils and get away with it, it wouldn’t be an issue.
I was a man of science and of logic. The idea of Jesus loving me or that he was a great man or teacher was laughable.
My lifestyle was pleasure driven and one of helping family first and others around me. I did want to help others and see people do well and not suffer. Suffering was something I know a great deal about. I have suffered from mental health and physical problems most of my life. I had a suicidal depression and anxiety that started around the age of 14.
Later on in life I eventually tried out Church on-and-off; maybe spent about 10 hours of my life in church before I was a Christian. I saw people had joy and hope, but didn’t understand or read the Bible. I couldn’t read a book that says the world was created around 6000 years ago when science says the earth is billions of years old.
I stopped going to church and started drinking and taking party drugs with friends. I did work for a family business but it didn’t last. I tried to work for a friend but injured my back. I struggled to do any kind of physical work and my mental state didn’t help. I got to the point where my life was just full of misery and pain.
I tried many suicide attempts over the years. I really couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t die. I had taken lethal doses of medications and drugs. My mind was broken; my body was broken. For some reason I continued on. I was in and out of college and on antidepressants and other medications to try to get better. I even went to lots of therapy - I saw psychiatrists and psychologists. Nothing helped. I was completely dead inside
I decided to say goodbye to my close friends, saying i couldn’t live anymore. I told them, “I’m sorry but I’m in too much pain and I just want to prepare you that I’ll be leaving soon. It’s for the best.” I went through with it. I wrote yet another suicide letter and having hundreds of pain-killers ready laid out I started to quickly swallow them, desperate to end things. I went into a seizure while forcing these pills down my throat, desperate to die. This was my only way out. If my dad hadn’t found me having that seizure, I would have woken up and continued to take the pills. This was a desperation to end my life. I needed peace. I needed to be free from this wicked world.
I woke up with paramedics around me. I was saying sorry to them, but really I was angry at them for stopping me. I don’t know how many times I’ve tried this. I’ve lost count.
I got so desperate I decided to read the Bible in August 2013. I tried to read it but it was difficult to understand. So I decided to try and find some Christian films online. Accidently I came across a documentary, thinking it was a Hollywood film - Noah the Movie by Ray Comfort.
I witnessed the good news of Jesus Christ preached in a way I could understand. For the first time it was explained to me in such simple ways. Starting from the beginning. That if you look at this building, you know it had a builder. If you look at a painting, you know it had to have a painter. If you look at creation, you know it had a creator. You can’t have the universe without a universe maker. There has to be an eternal cause. An intelligent Being that has always existed, that created time, space, and matter. I read from book of Romans:
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
I continued to watch and he explained to me that God is holy, that is perfect, and loving; without sin. He hates evil and must punish those who do evil. But I thought, “Hey I’m not such a bad guy. I haven’t killed anyone.” But he went through the Ten Commandments - God’s law - and it shocked me. I saw just how wicked my heart was.
I have told hundreds if not thousands of lies, making me a liar in God’s eyes. I tried to justify my lies, but lying to someone isn’t loving them. I’ve stolen things, making me a thief. And this one caught me off guard. Jesus said if you look at a woman with lust, you commit adultery in your heart. I was very guilty of this. I’ve used God’s name in vain - using it at times as a swear word, not giving it due respect, when God has given me life and all the good things in my life - thus making me a blasphemer. I’ve hated a lot of people, and God sees hatred as murder. I saw my sin. And that’s only five of the commandments I’ve broken. I’ve looked deeper into it and I’ve broken them all. I thought, I’m in deep trouble on Judgment Day.
And doing charity or good works to try make up for the evil I have done is no good. Try that while standing before a judge in a court of law. Say, “Judge, I’ve stolen and hurt people, but I’ve done a lot of good things in my life.” The judge will throw the book at you. How much more will a holy God give justice! If God is loving and good he must punish evil. God will judge me by his perfect law, and I’m deserving of eternal separation from him a place the Bible calls hell.
He also told me how I could be reconciled with God through his Son Jesus Christ; that if I repent - that is, turn from all sin - and put my trust in Jesus Christ and him alone, he would take the wrath upon himself that I deserve for the evil I have done.
I was shocked. I didn’t want to go to hell. I wanted everlasting life. But I didn’t want to go to church. I didn’t want to stop drinking or partying. I didn’t want to give up my freedom and surrender my will to God. I loved my sin. I said, “No! I don’t accept this. The Bible is wrong.”
2nd part in the comment below
I spent time trying to disprove the Bible, trying every method or theory out there to discredit it. I got to the point that I had proof the Bible is fact and not a book of stories.
My illness put me to my knees. I was contemplating another suicide attempt. But things changed. I was so broken and twisted. Not really knowing how to pray, I cried out to God, “Save me!.” I repented on May the 4th, 2014, that night - surrendering all to God, saying “I don’t care about my depression or suffering. Let me serve you. Let me do your will.” I came to him as a servant begging for mercy knowing I deserved none. I didn’t even know he saw me as a son. He was there with open arms. I remember saying, “Everything I am, was, and always will be, is yours” - repeating this over and over. God set me free that night. An overwhelming peace came over me. Crying my eyes, out thanking him over and over, I did not have any other words but “Thank you.” I fell asleep and woke up totally different. I had peace and my depression gone and my anxiety manageable - all surrendered to Christ. My eyes were opened and I was healed of a lot of my illnesses, and I have been seeking after truth ever since - walking in total obedience to God’s loving Word.
Since I’ve been a Christian my life has completely changed. I no longer follow the things of this world. My addictions to alcohol/drugs and junk food have gone. My depression just disappeared and my anxiety to a manageable state. I’m truly happy and have joy I thought I could never have. I have peace and a relationship with God, knowing he is always watching and when I fall he’s right there to pick me back up.
But I’m still a sinner. I often speak in anger when I see wrong or people do wrong against me - and I always regret taking my opinions and actions too far. I’ve been guilty of this all through my walk as a Christian. It’s something that’s very difficult for me and I pray and ask God to work in me, to change me. It’s a slow process but it’s happening. I see God teaching me to have patience and to be kind to others. It’s not easy. I’m trying to help people; I really am! It’s hard to help so many people when I’m struggling to sort myself out. My mind’s still not in the best shape, or my body. The Bible says you reap what you sow. I’m suffering because of my sin. I’m forgiven by God’s grace but there’s a lesson in life. And it’s a hard one. God can heal me of everything. But if everything in my life was perfect, how will that shape my character? Would I depend on God? No. I rejoice in my suffering, because its brought me to my knees before him. If I hadn’t suffered from so much sickness I would still be out there drinking and doing foolish things, wasting the money and gift of life God has given me. I’m glad my suffering put me where I am today. It’s nothing in comparison to an eternity separated from him.
People ask how a loving God can send someone to hell. The Bible shows us. How can a loving God not punish a murderer or one who’s done evil. Know this. God won’t force you into his presence. If you don’t want Jesus now, you won’t want him in eternity. God will give you what your heart desires. My heart desires to do what’s right, to love God and those around me.
I really wish I could explain better how loving and great God is. I look to the cross. Jesus said that there is no greater love than this, that one should lay his life down for another. And that’s exactly what Jesus did. And he did it for all - even the worst of the worst. You can’t out sin God’s grace. Everyone can come to him and he’ll make them new, changing every desire and giving them peace and a joy that cannot be stripped away.
Two years ago on this very month if I hadn’t opened my Bible, the people who know me would’ve been at a funeral. But instead you’re here to witness God’s grace and a new birth.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
I’m being baptised today, not because it gives me eternal life, but because it’s a sign of my obedience to God and a symbol of what it is to be made new. I confess faith in Christ; Jesus has cleansed my soul from sin, through his loving sacrifice on that cross and I now have a new life in him. When I think of God one thing springs to mind: freedom! I’m free from spiritual death; free from darkness; free from the judgment to come. I’m free to love him and those around me. I’m free from that crippling depression and anxiety. Who the Son sets free, is free indeed. Amen!!!
I was saved about 40 days after I watched rays Noah and the last days. Might of been 40 but my memory is terrible. The day I was saved I also had a dream that day or day after of Noah's ark it was huge! Months after I was saved i Also seen a sign in the heavens of an upside down rainbow when I was at the entrance of a park I was praying to the LORD if he was pleased with me and what I needed to change. I can't remember all the details but I may of been continuing the thought and prayer what do I need to change and asking if the Lord was pleased with me and About 10 minutes later on top of the hill I look up and I see this upside down rainbow in the sky like a smile from God. Put a smile on my face believe me oh how amazing is the LORD to change us to live Holy by his Grace. I have a picture of the upside down rainbow if u want to see it. Email me on marksof3@hotmail.com

Romans 10:9-10, 13 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Indeed
He really listened and answered the questions. He is so honest.
Yes it's true 👍
Always put God first and accept Jesus as your lord and savior always. Jesus died for us and he wants us to do better. So always help people in need that way you can show him you love him, amen.
Honesty bought me to atheism. Christianity cannot be true. Jesus’ promises fail how can he be trusted?
For example, Jesus said you will receive whatever you ask in prayer
Matthew 21:22 And whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive it all.” NASB version
This is obviously false.
@@ALLINCAPZBANGINONWACKZ805 I’m a simple man. I’ve asked for miracles I’ve also asked for mundane things. Nothing miraculous happened.
This contradicts the promise of Jesus whereby ANYTHING you ask for should happen.
I even heard about an evangelist Nick Vujic buying shoes even though he has no legs and feet in faith that God will grant his wish.
So clearly this is a false promise
@@ALLINCAPZBANGINONWACKZ805 thanks for your reply. I’m a simple man. If someone is promising me ANYTHING that I ask for, and I believe them but they don’t deliver, then I stop believing them. They can’t be truthful.
Jesus didn’t have to promise to give whatever you ask for and yet the promise has been made and is false.
So I don’t believe in Jesus. Maybe there are other Gods out there who are honest but I have not found them.
You can tell he has a deep heart. Being this young and contemplating these things seriously on his own. His soul was searching & found rest in Jesus. Thank you Lord.

To let you guys know my comment was deleted for saying what yeshua said. He said the kingdom of heaven is within you. Do not look say the kingdom of heaven is here or there for the kingdom of heaven is within you. This channel is hiding the words of yeshua(Hebrew for Jesus) the anointed or simply lacks knowledge of the scripture one of the 2. Where did he ascend? To heaven where is heaven? Inside us. Where is the father? In heaven inside us. What we have here is refusal to believe the way truth and life which is what yeshua the image of god said god is. Really should believe that we are connected and came from god. “If you have seen me you have seen the father for I am in the father and the father in me and I in you. What about the verse it’s no longer I who live but Christ (anointed)who lives in me? Do you believe that? Or do you reject the creation god made to say that something that is truth is a lie? What about the verse where concerning judgement day where the father says anything you have done to the least of these you have done to me? Is the father a liar? What about when yeshua the anointed said that we are gods to whom the word came? What about when yeshua called peter satan which means adversary. What about the verse where it says let god be the truth and every man be the liar? Who is the beast? Every man. So when I tell the truth I am god when I lye I am satan how do I know? A good tree CANNOT produce bad fruit and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. Another parable spoken from the mouth of god. I wish ray believed the Bible when it says the wages of sin is death and not eternal damnation in fire. It does say we are tossed into fire but the fire is Holy Spirit when people were baptized in fire they weren’t running around because they were burning but running around because they were joyful and happy. What about when it says that whoever hears and does my words have passed from death to life? Do you believe that? Do you believe yeshua when he said the father has not sent him into the world to condemn it but that through him( the way truth and life) the world may be saved. John 3:18 yeshua said HERE IS THE CONDEMNATION THAT LIGHT(understanding) HAS COME INTO THE WORLD AND MEN LOVED DARKNESS(ignorance) RATHER THAN LIGHT BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS WERE EVIL. There is what the lord says condemnation is. Also he says whoever does the will of the father is his mother and brother. Wow it’s amazing how many demons come out of our body the temple (where the son of partition sits)when we believe what was said by the one we base our religious beliefs off of instead of believing what preachers say. Because they teach the opposite and act like we have to pray to a far off god in an unbiblical heaven. Believe when it says all of his substance is given to you and believe when it says we are coheirs to the throne of god.

This guy literally pulled the rug out from underneath this kid at a very gullible age, and now this guy is trying to sell books on how you can do this to other people too! think about it folks.This older man was playing on this young kid and playing on the kids guilt. guilt is instilled in us by society and by a**holes like this old man.

I also love the way you share the gospel!
same, i remember watching it when it first came out but i paid attention more to the way Ray was preaching the gospel. now as i watch it, immediately i can tell that mario has such a beautiful heart and was going through something at the time. his whole philosophy was on spreading love and being positive and it was probably because he has been hurt by people. it’s evident to me now that He encountered the Holy Spirit and i hope that wherever he is right now, that he’s doing ok and following God.
I love how authentic he was and how vulnerable he allowed himself to be.
He's high lol totally
when the Lord touches your heart......you just melt like hot wax.
Agree. I fully respected his honest, vulnerability. Sometimes people who aren't yet Christians have been prompted by God, and are more ready than other people to receive Jesus. That is precisely where Mario was when this video was filmed. Ray finished off what God had started long ago. Mario, the road to the kingdom is hard, but Jesus will always be with you.
Jesus loves you all, He knows you and can heal you from your pain if you let Him :)
To let God in you have to be. Your whole life depends on who you trust, who you trust with what and who you trust to what degree. If u trust yourself over God, u loose, if you trust God above all else, and this is coming from experience when i was at my lowest is a long time, I rose with him, despite being hesitant and unknowing, I followed him, back to the light, bc he is the light.
This shows that people know down deep that God is real, and that we are sinners. May God's Grace be on all who watch this.
The thing is people know that there is something fundamental but they don't want to believe it's a god or God

You should be hoping for the opposite. If you sincerely believe what you believe to be true, it should hold up to question. We apply this to just about every single thing we believe in-even opinions. I feel bad for him, being brought to tears so he would resent living a completely healthy lifestyle. Lying and thievery are bad things conceptually but I doubt this kid has ever caused significant harm to other people. I bet you the most harm he’s done and most of us have done has been through other means than lying or stealing. It’s a dogmatic fear of lying and thievery that makes us look at them as worse than they are. Don’t confuse me, I’m not defending either of those things, but sometimes they happen and are not as big a deal as other things we do and ultimately don’t affect much. He shouldn’t be brought to tears for just living and committing small misjudgments out of some fear of something he can’t be sure of overreacting about those things.
@@dncovjsbeicj Hello:) The thing is is that at heart, in the flesh, and without Christ dying on the cross and living within us we are bad at heart. We are selfish and greedy, we do things we know are wrong, the list goes on. I know I still struggle with those things as well. If it wasn’t a big deal, a completely innocent man, the Son of He who created the universe, wouldn’t have died for you or for me. It doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it is. We are sinners. And because of Christ we can be forgiven. The things he listed that he did are things that seem pretty common to do, nobody seeks to harm other people, that’s not our intention, and yet it happens. We think we’re good people but at heart we aren’t. That’s why Christ’s death on the cross is so important. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions or anything. :)

Exactly!!! So many men and women get defensive when you lay it out and tell them they need to repent and change their ways or even let them know that they have sinned and need to accept that they have sinned and are a sinner and true forgiveness is from God and salvation was bought through Jesus on the cross
I hope Mario gets saved.
@Kevin Belgrove Yes I am sure that I am saved.
@Kevin Belgrove What are you talking about I don't believe in a lie.
This kid has a kind heart but deceived by this evil world to believe in himself, not God. Glory be to our Lord for His forgiveness.

Edit because ignorance is bliss right ?
Amen. It is clear the beautiful heart he has. Praise God for people like Ray
That's so true. He does have a good heart but is so deceived by the devil and the world.
His soul is ripe for salvation. May our hearts break as Mario’s

His tears brought me to tears. No shame brother. You're sincerety will set you on the path to redemption. Jesus loves you.

I dont think it did. Yet you speak on some made up guys behalf. Thats fraud and lying.

I think he’s 24 right
The Lord is the good sower, He is tender to reach us first. He had mercy on us so that we can have a "tender" heart.
Yes, I feel he has suffered too! To be stronger than the hurt, he concocted and clung to a belief system that made him feel better about himself. Only the Holy Spirit’s salve can help us see what real love feels like, and it’s OVERWHELMING when we realize we no longer have to be strong, just rely on the One who is.
What a beautiful young man, such a beautiful heart. It brought me to tears .

The love of Jesus is SO POWERFUL! We cannot even comprehend it, and when we feel it we cannot do anything but cry and BOW!
The moment when he realized Jesus paid the fine... absolutely precious. God bless and guide this humble and tender soul.
Preying on an emotional boy, making him cry by causing him to feel guilty for "sinning" and that his only way out is to repent to "god" - profoundly immoral in my book
Jesus didn’t pay a fine, for we never sinned. The message of the crucifixion is that death does not exist (hence Jesus said Father forgive them for they know not what they do) , and the message of the gospel is not that of crucifixion but that of resurrection. People seem to forget the whole resurrection part because they’re so focused on their sins. Jesus didn’t see sinners, when he looked at maria magdalene or zacheüs, he saw Himself in them, He saw them as whole. THAT is what changed their lives, not the message that they were sinners and bad people, but the look of someone who saw them as whole, for they were never seperated from God, and that is what Jesus reminded them of.
@@thomasmoore-polowy9170 I absolutely agree with you. It’s painful to see hos so many people applaud this.
Christians made forgiveness into an act of making sin real. Real forgiveness though is quite the opposite: forgiveness sees that what you thought someone did to you never happened.
It is looking beyond what you thought was an attack on you, and realising that you are invulnerable, for God did not make a vulnerable creation, His creation is whole and perfect.
We look at the world and see quite the opposite, because out vision is blurred. We are identified with our body, and so we try to use the body as proof of out vulnerability. We use time and even death to proof how vulnerable we are.
The thought that we are the body makes us think we are a victim of this world. But those that are aware of perfect safety give freely, for they have everything, and by sharing their being with everyone, they learn about the infinity of their being. They extent their peace into every part of life, and so discover they are everywhere and everyone. Their light heals their brothers for it takes away the darkness of the world by showing the world it was never in darkness, it has never lost its light.

God has been guiding that kid since he was young. You can tell by his "guided unguidedness" he had no direction in life but he knew something about something good he couldn't put a finger on. How beautiful.
Yeah
Awesome comment!
I think the Lord has worked on me for a long time, too. Accepted Jesus over a year ago, but I think things went much further back than that. I had righteous grandparents. Never once did I hear a blasphemy from them. Really good, yet simple people. Never wanted to get mixed up with anything shady. Had a great aunt (grandmother’s sister) who would get teary eyed during Christmas carols. Never really understood that until recently!
@@lukek1949 Amen!
So well expressed, Big Hoss! Watching this encounter, I could just sense what a beautiful young man he was, but I could sense even more just how much he was hungrily looking to grasp onto something that his current beliefs could not even begin to satisfy. What a treasure this encounter turned out to be not only for him but also us who need to be reminded and assured once again of God's forgiveness and grace and a love that will not let us go. How happy I am for this young man and for Ray Comfort who in such a loving way was able to reach out to him with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God!
The tears are not emotions, the tears are the Holy Spirit moving on him to convict him of his sin so he repents and asks forgiveness. You don’t often see this on film.
Time will show.
That’s Godly sorrow. Praise God. God is so good! And bless this guy’s heart. His willingness to receive the truth so quickly is astonishing. I remember how difficult I made it. I will be praying for Mario. Praise God!!!!

You mean accept that those things happen in the world? Yes, we do accept that moral atrocities happen.
Truee💕
You can say that, but you don't know that.
He was on the right track... Ray just led him thru the narrow gate.
His tears were shown as he entered it.
Praise God.
Awesome, His heart is now home.
- Mario was actually on the complete WRONG track. He, just like everyone else, had to completely turn from his self-centeredness and turn to Christ. To not acknowledge the death of our Savior as all significant, and not claim it as our payment for sin, is to do the absolute MOST evil thing we can do on this Earth. Worthy of eternal death.....
"There is a way that seems right unto man but the end thereof leads to death." Proverbs
I hope Mario is still serving Christ today.
@@redfaux74 yes I agree. What i meant is that i could tell by his demeanor and his hunger for love that he just needed his love to be led in the right direction....
that being JESUS...
prayerfully Ray's talk with him made Jesus is #1 priority on how to receive and give that love.
Jesus as per Christianity probably didn't exist.
St. Paul who never met Jesus (except in visions/hallucinations) founded Christianity and laid out his philosophy in his letters long before the Gospels were written.
The Gospel of Mark and the others were written long after the Jesus era.
The Jewish Bible belongs to the Jews but were commandeered by the Christians.
The Old Testament prefigures Nothing in the 'New' Testament.
This young man was confused to start with but he was confused AND upset when his head was filled with preachy nonsense.
New age believes are not a right Path. Its buddhism wrapped around serving anything but GOD. you have no idea what you just wrote.
Praise The Lord for this young man’s honesty. God will use him to fulfill His plan and purpose for God to get the Glory!! Bless this young man’s heart!!! I wish and pray all will be well with his soul!! 🙏❤️

What he said about doing everything in love is true but impossible without God's Spirit. Truly, God sent Ray that day just like how He sent Peter to the person in Acts whose "offerings have gone up to God."
Darth raven nice
I’m 20 years old and it recently hit me, Jesus died for us. I’ve heard it a million times but never truly understood what it meant. One day I was praying for forgiveness and I believed that I deserved hell for my sins. Then it hit me, Jesus died for everyone’s sins… He sent his son to suffer and die for all of our sins. To me that is just overwhelming.
God has been with me all my life and I knew it as a kid but this world, this life and new age teachings led me astray from real love in Jesus. As a kid I used to pray to God and i always knew God looked out for me, but not until recently was my heart truly opened to accepting Jesus as our Saviour and truly understand the meaning of His sacrifice, that led me to understand sin and how we are born sinners but through Jesus we are truly saved 🤍 im 26, and it is such a relief to have Jesus in my life and the Word of God to guide me
If he did die for our sins, then why are we still sinning?
When I was a Christian , just like you, I did pray for forgiveness and everything and I haven’t received anything. I asked for his presence and I got nothing even though I’ve waited weeks. I think you’re just delusional my friend sorry to say.
Edit: believe me when I say this. There’s no God. I could pray right now, and nothing would happen, and I will just be wasting my time.

If this was some other platform, i would have shared you screenshots of me defending y'all on some of the false things Christians say(ignorantly anyways) about yall.. The only thing id require you to have is an open heart/mind. Cause its possible to be sincerely wrong. But when your beliefs becomes a god to you, much more than the Actual God its talking about, that's where you'd have a problem. Ive studied so many religions. When i was done(at least with the most popular ones), i knew that all these talk about labels(im Christian, I'm Muslim, Baha'i, etc) is just folly if you don't really know/understand the God you say you worship. To know that it's the lifestyle we should live by as Humans, and not just a religion with only rituals and no fellowship. But id be honest with you and tell you plainly. Christianity is truer/complete than any Other..

The trinity was 'invented' about 300 years 'after' the 'apparent' death of Jesus. And about the God taking human form (meaning Jesus), well, Jesus never said that anywhere in any place of the Bible.
@@NoSenseEtAl Yes He did. He told his disciples that he had to "go away" so that "the helper could come" and if he didn't go away, the helper could not come. If he was in the flesh constantly on earth, there would be no need for the helper aka the Holy Spirit. The helper is the Holy Spirit. Also, Jesus claimed many times that God was His father. God also publicly claimed Jesus as His son during His baptism.

@@beautifulseventeen9636 yeah give it another 2000+ years. I just wonder how god came up with these ideas, how did he think that one day he’d make humans? And if gods such a smart being and knows everything, then what inspired us to be created? Where did his power to make us come from, theirs got to be an origin for the power that he has, some other thing must have had it there for god to obtain and use. And if he just showed up one day then how did he get the idea to even use it? Atleast someone who believes in evolution can make sense of their origins, and can give reasons that have proof to them. The only inconsistent one here is god, who doesn’t say anything about his origin.

Im also a teenager, I’m 15. I have definitely struggled to get to the place I am now. It is NEVER going to be easy! Each day we fight against the currents of this world. May God give you the strengths you need to keep going on in his path. God bless you 😊🙏🏽
Good
This was so extremely heartwarming. It was crazy how you could see him realize that what he’s been searching for all along was God, not himself. I wish him the best as he grows in his faith.
Agree, that was heartwarming
nah it was weird
Sooo happy with Mario, heaven must be rejoicing.
Insulting, ridiculous interpretation.
How, he’s using fear to manipulate him
Mario if you're watching this, thank you for that beautiful interview. God bless you young man. Amen
Amen!
I don't want to Offend, Guru means Teacher. There Is Only One Teacher, Jesus Christ. He Is Our Master, We Follow Him, No Other. He Is Our Teacher, Our Brother, Our Friend. A Friend to The End. He Will Reign as Our Lord of Lords, and as Our King of Kings, Praise His Name!!!
Thanks for how you reach out....wisdom can only come from a good soul
My name is Sophia and I am 10 years old, and I have a friend name Rosie and her and her family are beyond atheist, I am going to talk to her about faith next time I see her, I have talked to many pastors about examples on how to bring up faith and one of the many examples i will use is the plane and parachute, please pray for me and my friend Rosie, thank you Mr. Comfort.😁
That's so sweet. ❤ By the way, don't worry or feel bad if your friend rejects God, the important thing is that you make hew know that Jesus loves her. We all have different times when it comes to knowing God and accept him in our hearts.
This video actually had a part in saving me, I was lukewarm and barely even considered myself a Christian other than just nominally. But rays words were just TEARING through me and I felt myself in the same position as Mario and cried along with him. I’m 18 now I got saved a month before my birthday and my life has changed, my eyes have opened and they cannot be closed, I still struggle with sin but have never felt so powerful in fighting it. I thank you ray, and praise to Jesus Christ for saving me!
Praise the Lord for his work in you through this video! Hope you can find a good, solid church that can help you continue to walk in him, just as you received Him. :)
Hallelujah! Praying that you continue to walk in faith ♥️
God bless you! Great testimony. Be happy you found the Truth early. I was a nominal/false Christian and when I turned 21 I went full atheist and later dabbled in some new age circles. Thankfully Jesus rescued me from those deceptions a couple of years ago now. My life has changed and God continues to reveal more and more to you, and continues to refine and sanctify you. I thought I loved my atheist life but nothing the secular world can offer begins to compare to knowing and following Jesus. The Truth is so much more beautiful than the lies. God bless
❤🙏AMEN!God bless you!
Praise God. Amen🙏🏽🙌🏽❤️
It looks like Jesus started moving in him as soon as they had the conversation. He was so uncomfortable from the start of the conversation.
@@MrThroneTalk So why did any angels not know this?
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM!
Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings!
Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21
Jesus said the Father is the only true God!
John 17
3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
RSV
Only-monos
God-theos
Monos theos
Monotheism
The Father
Jesus is the one sent by the true God (the Father)!
Jesus never claimed to be God, Jesus said he has a God!
Jesus has a God!
Jesus died!
God can’t die!
God raised Jesus from the dead!
Jesus is The only way! 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV) Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Jesus peace be upon him is a muslim
He’s been through a lot. I can tell he’s trying to be the best he can be. God bless his soul and may Jesus Christ restore and save this young man♥️
Lord Jesus keep Mario in Your grace and help him to grow in Your knowledge in Jesus Name
@@zanelemtshali5437 amen thank you brother let is also pray for all those unrighteous so they will be filled with the holy spirit as were we all were lost but were found because the lord raised us up may the lord raise them up as well amen
I hope god will bless you now what you just said
In Islam u dont have to hate and despise urself to become a Muslim instead we would tell u to come into our religion just as urself and be peace with urself and let God guide u through direct prayer and humility u would never find peace in any religion if u have to hate and despise urself and be like someone else or ur evil that would never bring u peace instead constant struggle depression within urself just follow God's teaching work and strive for our creator to do better it's called jihad
Hi, I'm a teenager and christian and i have a question. There’s something that's on my mind for so long. In the Bible, it says that we can only enter heaven if we believe in God and Jesus. But...what happens to all these people who were born into another religion? What happens to the people who live in countries that aren't christian? What happened to all these people who lived before Jesus, or who believed in other Gods (which is normal, and ok). What happens to the babies who died before knowing who God was? Do they all go to hell? Do they all suffer for eternity just because of that? I think that this exact question keeps me from having a better relationship with god😭
