This really changed my view on evangelism. I am going to pray for more love and not for less fear from now on.♥️

Ray is the reason why I want to preach the gospel. To evangelise to the lost, it may not be all

[@robertdouglas8895]

Jesus went to the cross to show us forgiveness. "Forgive them for they know not what they do." That is his message for us to follow, not to sacrifice ourselves. Ray Comfort uses his talking to prove people are sinners and sinners think they need to sacrifice since Jesus sacrificed for us.

[@silviomp]

​@@robertdouglas8895 Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?

Good message. We get greater love through forgiveness. Ray teaches that we all should be in horror of God punishing us for our sins. How can we love a god that punishes instead of teaches completely when he is so horrifying? "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.

[@rogermetzger7335]

We selfish humans need three things. We need to be forgiven by our creator. We need for him to replace our selfishness with his selflessness. And we need to be delivered from this environment of sin and decay. In the twenty-first century, there are millions of people who have attended worship services hundreds of times and still have no sense of needing to be forgiven by God. So it stands to reason that there are billions of people who have never darkened the doorway of a church building and who also have no sense of needing God’s forgiveness. In countries that were once predominantly Christian, it is possible to find people who can be manipulated to respond in ways that can be considered evidence of “success” in evangelism - first-time professions of faith in Jesus or agreeing to be baptized, for example - and some of those responses can actually be helpful toward the goal of encouraging a lifetime of learning to trust the Lord. On the other hand, we in the United States (more so in some states than others) are living in a time when our neighbors, even if they have a vague awareness that someone named Jesus lived two thousand years ago and that some people worship him, are so biblically illiterate that they have never considered ANY evidence that the Bible or the God of the Bible can be trusted. If they can be persuaded that a profession of faith will save them from hell fire, they may make a profession of faith but while still thinking that faith is believing something for which there is inadequate evidence or none. Christians want to encourage faith in Jesus. It’s not something we “should” do - any more than we “should” breathe. Millions of Christians, however, think the best way to accomplish that is to pay professionals - evangelists, missionaries and pastors - to present and explain the gospel. Or there may be some Christians who barely have enough to eat so the best they think they can do is to invite people to attend worship services or evangelistic meetings. Please consider thinking of conversion as the miracle whereby a person’s trust is transferred from what he thought he could do to save himself from sin or its consequences to what the Lord does (has done, is doing and will do) to save us. Jesus said, “Before Abraham was, I am”. (John 8) The people who heard him say that immediately picked up stones to stone him for claiming to be the God of Moses. (See Exodus 3.) There two reasons to study the Hebrew Bible: 1) To allow comparison between the prophecies about the Messiah and the Life of Jesus (the Bible texts in the lyrics of Handel’s “Messiah” oratorio are a good place to start) and 2) if Jesus really IS the great I AM who spoke to Moses from a burning bush, everything recorded in the Hebrew Bible as spoken by the God of Moses deserves to be in red letters because they are the words of him who would someday be born in a stable and laid in a manger. If “all things were made by him” (John 1), he is the creator of Genesis chapter 1 and 2. When Christians take this “long view” of who Jesus is, it lends a whole new dimension to the theology of both the Gospels and the Epistles and the result is that “evangelism” takes on all three of the dimensions listed in the first paragraph above - not just the first of those things.

[@observeroflife0000]

Kirk, I have all the respect in the world for you. Having watched you grow up in the limelight with the rest of the world, and still hold steady to your beliefs is an admirable thing. But evangelism was never "the way" to "bring people to God". Jesus was not an evangelist. He was a Person who was admired so deeply by some, and deeply hated by others that they sought Him out. Not for the words He said, but for the life He lived. The living example of the Love and Mercy of God that He set for all who came near Him. When Jesus sent out the disciples He said, "Go therefore and make *disciples* of all the nations"... Not teachers, preachers, prophets, and evangelists. Disciples are students, not teachers. Disciples are the ones being taught, not the ones wielding the "spiritual authority" of a position of "leadership" over one an others heads. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through Me." We have been taught that what Jesus meant when He said that was that belief in HIM is the requirement for salvation, and to gain the acceptance of God. But that is not true. Jesus wasn't talking about salvation in that verse. He was answering Thomas's question about how they, the disciples, would find Him where He was going. Yet we tell the world that they must CHOOSE Love to be accepted BY Love. But how can we even "choose" Love if Love has not chosen us first? Is God's Love unconditional or not? The cross was not proof of God's Love for us. His Love was already proven in the DECISION to send His only Begotten Son. "For God so LOVED the world"... Past tense because His Love was never a subjective object to be tossed around in our lives... The cross is proof of God's forgiveness for ALL. The "way, truth, and life" Jesus was talking about was not about Him personally as a person. He was going away, and would no longer be here to BE a living example of the Love and forgiveness of God to a lost and dying world. So that is what He was telling the disciples they needed to do... To continue on living the example He had set for them, to SHOW the world the Love and forgiveness of God, and in doing THAT, they would be able to experience the Love of God to a greater degree for themselves. Love is the key that unlocks any heart. Forgiveness is the Power that breaks every chain.

[@GrahameChristianGould]

You appear to be very ignorant of some very important issues. Evangelism is a word that comes from a Biblical Greek word εὐαγγέλιον which means "bringing good news" and we are commanded to evangelise, to proclaim the gospel. It is the power of God unto salvation. THAT is how disciples are made. Through sharing the gospel. And you appear to be unaware that we are called by the Holy Spirit to be evangelists and teachers and preachers and we are to use these gifts to help others grow into those gifts. Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

[@observeroflife0000]

@@GrahameChristianGould I am fully aware of Paul's teachings. Which contradict Jesus' teachings on multiple occasions. 👍 A perfect example is specifically what we are talking about actually. In Matthew Jesus said: And do NOT be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ. Yet Paul told the Ephesians: *And He Himself* gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers... Yet not once did Jesus mention ANY "office of the church". If I remember correctly, "the church" of that time actually didn't care too much for Him at all. 👍 So who was lying here? The only Begotten Son of God, or a man who never even met, talked to, or followed Jesus while He was alive? And even lied about Jesus appearing to him on the road. 🤷‍♀️ Or are we just going to ignore the fact that no witnesses stuck around to share about that "experience" on the road when Paul went to tell the disciples? Not even the one who supposedly "healed his sight", after Paul magically saw Jesus with his eyes closed... 😳 And then... The icing on the cake was when Paul misconstrued Deuteronomy 9:15, as well as Matthew 18:16 in 2 Corinthians 13:1 by trying to claim he could be his own witness and fullfil those scriptures by coming back and repeating himself multiple times to the same group of people... 🤦‍♀️ This will be the third time I am coming to you. “By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.” So no. I don't believe that Paul is or ever was a reliable source for information concerning Jesus, God, or God's will for any of us. 🤷‍♀️ We can be a witness for ourself though. Behavior has always spoken louder than words. Paul's behavior testifies quite clearly that he was pretty darn full of himself, and had elevated his status in his own mind to that of Jesus Himself. And the sad part is, the church worships the doctrines of Paul, and takes those letters more seriously than the things Jesus actually said and did.

[@redfaux74]

I love Ray tremendously but at 1.50 he says "God will cause you to.... you will naturally obey the commandments". God does not possess us. He does not cause us to do anything. We are in a spiritual war within ourselves, the new man vs the old man, the spirit vs the flesh. See Galatians and many other New Testament books. Every day we have a choice to follow Him or deny Him. Lk 9:23 We must surrender to His will daily. We must feed our spirit with His Word. We must abandon the world daily and grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord daily. This is why every chapter of the New Testament has teaching on false teachings. It is not for those who are NOT saved but for those of us who are.

[@JasonSchmidt-1979]

So red, you must deserve a lot of credit for all the good YOU do. If God isn’t working in or through you you aren’t saved

[@redfaux74]

@@JasonSchmidt-1979 - If you don't yield to the Spirit of God then you aren't serving God. He doesn't possess us. Galatians is a short book and lays it out clearly. "Be led of the Spirit". To think it is somehow automatic is foolish. Producing fruit is not automatic. It takes work. I am permitted to take a part of His work. He allows me by surrendering to His kingship. Coloss.1:29 "Whereunto I also labor, striving according to His working, which works in me mightily." Luke 9:23 "And He said to them all 'If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me'." Ray had a great video recently, about his fear of people and how he overcomes the anxiety of the encounter. It is not free. It takes an effort on our part. We surrender to God's will. It has nothing to do with me or my works. It has everything to do with His works and me surrendering to it.

@@redfaux74 Yes I agree !!

@FROM THE PEN OF A READY WRITER - I'm glad I looked at your video. Powerful and true. A lot of the problems I see are from man's doctrine, Calvanism as an example. The doctrine of "Once Saved Always Saved" really causes a problem in my opinion. It creates a very light view of sin. The standard of His Word has fallen so far. I just left a church because 1 point became 5 point Calvanism in 6 years. Now the church is filled with unrepentant homosexuality and women leadership. Very sad. They don't preach on sin or hell at all. It figures.... I live by faith daily the same way I was converted in the beginning. I'm very confused where people think this nonsense started. It wasn't displayed in the Old Testament at all. I see no new deity in the New Testament, no new idea either. l Corin 10 gives us exactly the same model for following Him. It reitifies His Word. Jesus said "Follow me". We either do or we don't. I'm so glad I don't have to wait for a priest to go to on a holy day once a week. I can fall in my knees any moment, and usually do anyway. God bless you brother. Powerful, creepy background music to bolden the message.

Sorry Ray- It's not your fault that she beat you up. You should have had her arrested for assault and battery and your friends should have protected you more diligently. And it's bat of HELL. Not Heaven.

[@msmd3295]

Evangelists ALWAYS think and act as if what they’re doing is based upon some real world “facts” and that’s obviously untrue. Some places and archeological references may be true but that’s FAR different than the miracles and other supernatural events they also claim are “true” (fact). And any ADULT should KNOW what they claim can’t be proven with factual evidence. As an adult, I actually feel bad they could accept as true such things as true because grown adults should know better because there is not one thing in their everyday lives they can point to as evidence of the supernatural. Escaping the real world is not a sign of emotional or intellectual strength. In psychological terms such beliefs would be considered a mental health issue.

The world needs salvation. You will never know until it’s too late. Noah’s ark is another story comparison.

You're absolutely right. The blessing is from people like " I hope your live is full of happiness" not "I hope your life is full of holiness."

[@cullenbentley9880]

BEWARE MY FRIENDS...….Ray preaches a faith plus works salvation.....he says you must repent of sins when theres not even one verse in the bible that says such...….all God requires is faith alone and that you only believe which is stated 85 times in the book of john.....

[@happythoughts7792]

The first act of repentance is turning from the sin of denying Jesus and instead-- confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in your heart God raised him from the dead. So at the very least, there is the sin of denying Jesus's salvation and the work of repenting from that and confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in your heart God raised him from the dead in order to be saved. In a sense, that is a work to repent and believe. However, from my best understanding -- that is the only real work of repentance needed for salvation. But I would be concerned about the genuineness of someone's faith if they had no work -- since faith without works is dead.

[@JasonSchmidt-1979]

Satan and demons believe in Jesus. Your faith must be in the True Jesus, the one who hates sin

[@cullenbentley9880]

@@happythoughts7792yes it says such but it does not say salvation without works cause salvation is Gods work alone and nothing of man is required except to only believe.....

[@Janellelynnmayo]

What about James chapter 2 then, where it says we are not justified by faith alone but also by works?

[@angellicat.n.g2382]

Friend after accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour you must also repent from sin. If we don't repent of our sin how can we will face God? Jesus Christ open the way to God (Father) himself and we still need to repent from our sin and change our heart.

[@robertdouglas8895]

Jesus went to the cross to show us forgiveness. "Forgive them for they know not what they do." That is his message for us to follow, not to sacrifice ourselves. Ray Comfort uses his talking to prove people are sinners and sinners think they need to sacrifice since Jesus sacrificed for us.

Ray Comfort with the false gospel of works.

[@davidledford9041]

How so?

[@chuckm.1295]

Read James chapter 2. We are saved by faith but it is because of our faith that we have works. Such as witnessing. Passing out tracks, giving to poor, etc. if we say we have faith and have nothing to show for it our faith is dead. I love the encouragement I get from Ray, I may not agree with everything that he does or says but the message is getting out and I believe people are coming to Christ. Philippians 1:15-18 Paul tells us even if someone’s motives may be wrong in preaching the gospel he praises god that the message is getting out. If we are Christ followers we should be less condemning of someone and praise God that He is still being glorified. Maybe not the way I would but that is ok

[@JasonSchmidt-1979]

What’s the true Gospel King James? Are you putting to death the misdeeds of the flesh by the Spirit? Or are you ‘simply believing’ and enjoying your pornography? Satan and demons believe in Jesus.

No matter how sincere these men might be, TBN is an abomination, and anyone who appears on these shows without calling them out is as bad as they are! "Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. (2John 1:9-11 KJB) Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron preach a works salvation, and participate with PureFlix who associates with "Hillsong" and other heretics!

Only God knows for sure, but I believe there are going to be a lot of these folks that will hear the four most dreaded words, a true follower of Christ (Christian) will never hear, "I NEVER KNEW YOU!" "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? Even so, every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits, ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Matthew 7:17-23 KJB) Anyone who supports TBN supports evil. "Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
