This is actually so good because it’s sometimes more challenging to witness to “Christians” with a misunderstanding of salvation and being born again. You’re right, it’s so simple yet people try to use their own cleverness to work around things they don’t agree with which leads to idolatry.

But my brain sure can come up with some theories. Some of them make so much sense in my mind at the time that I truly begin the question where and who the theory came from. Anybody know where I can go in the Bible to make sense of this? I know this isn't me but could God still be giving new revelations to certain people? If so, is it possible for those people to not be believed or not believe it themself? After typing this out, I see how dumb it is. Then that would mean God made a mistake by picking that person and God doesn't make mistakes. So Nevermind, just the first part stands.

I often find people "comfortable in their Sins" are the ones who believe "were still slaves to sin but at least we can be forgiven" Then the problem with sin isn't death, or the damage it causes, but God's view of it? So we go on "trying not to sin" but leaving all too much place for it to rule us. In other words we live in Sin with the excuse of being covered by the blood. Jesus died to defeat the power of sin and death not to change how God sees us, it was our eyes opened in the garden not His.

[@Whoozerdaddy]

Ray, that was an interesting interview and helped me formulate a question that I've been wanting to ask about your interviews. When you ask if people think they are "a good person," do you think there's perhaps too much of a disconnect in context between what the phrase means to us and what it means to the interviewee? It's like if you and the interviewee spoke two different languages that sounded identical to one another but meant two very different things. You're asking, "do you think your life is equal to the sinless life of Jesus" and they're _hearing,_ "do you think your life is more good than bad, more kindness than unkindness?" Just something that I have always wondered about.

[@igobydubri]

Great wording and youre spot on, but if I’m not mistaken as to what you mean and what Ray’s doing, I think I may be able to clarify. The standard of good is* the life of Jesus and the law of God, and there is* a disconnect for people who are not in Christ or that haven’t seen their sin in it’s true light, exposed by the light of Christ and the gospel. I think the strategy is allowing the person to answer for themselves their own standard to then expose that by using their own standard or any standard other than God’s is one of their biggest problems with being able to see their desperate need for forgiveness from a Holy God, and to be able to receive and appreciate the gospel and what Jesus did on the cross. Basically, allowing the person to expose themselves is hopefully helpful to soften their hearts. Unfortunately telling someone who’s father is still the devil that Jesus is the standard isn’t really moved, it’s seeing their own sin and need for repentance that can move them. Praise the Lord Jesus. God bless you ❤

[@davimag2071]

☝️ Great answer! The standards is God's law, people think they are awesome because they compare themselves with others, but God's law is the mirror which shows our sinfulness and moral depravity. Jesus was the perfectly just one who obeyed all the law and yet, was considered guilt and damned in our place, being his sacrifice accounted for whoever trusts in him.

Now the difference is God promises to give (GIFT) salvation to those who repent and believe, the difference is subtle, but paramount. We don't want to present Belief equals salvation in a quid pro quo fashion, or we risk presenting salvation as a reward, or compensation.

He’s incredibly smart and reads a lot of different theology… which usually means there’s serious deconstruction going on, which leads to lightening Sin and even accepting some sin as “ok”. Ultimately denying the existence of hell and believing every human is saved whether they believe Jesus or not.

[@criticaloptimist7961]

I disagree. Usually when there is a lot of reading and studying, it means that there is a humility and desire to learn. It's called worshiping and loving the Lord woth all your mind. People forget about that part. 😊

[@SparkyKev]

@@criticaloptimist7961 I’m by no means suggesting reading and learning more is wrong. I definitely want to learn more about my faith and different interpretations etc. My point is that (in my experience), Christian’s I’ve met who do a lot of reading into other religions and various theologies, tend to also deconstruct Christianity and are left kind of lost. I guess the important thing is to have a solid foundation in Christ when delving into other faiths and theologies.

I know Mitch and he is on fire for Jesus. Mitch was responding with different theological perspectives that could be viewed by some as more progressive but are in-line with biblical principles. Just as religious denominations, there are people that may approach things with a different viewpoint, which would not make them any more or less of a Christian than you or I. We should all be grateful and blessed to have the great minds of a Mitch or a Ray who are true soldiers of Christ. God Bless! ✝

[@joshuakelly9788]

The problem that Mitch mentioned in regards to the world not being able to receive the simple Gospel message is a valid and true concern. The world is made up of 8 billion people. Throughout the start of humanity from Adam forward not everyone has been notified of the Gospel of Christ. God will ultimately be the judge. At the same time I understand Ray is Jewish. He obviously converted to Christianity however any Orthodox Jew will tell you that they do not agree with the Christian narrative and that it's idolatry. A practicing Jew will tell you that Hashem is can forgive and does not need a blood sacrifice.

Having a passion for Jesus is great just as long as it is the right Jesus. There are many "Jesus'" these days. But only one is the Savior. I think for many of us, our hope is just that his passion is for the Savior Jesus. And some of the comments in this video, at least as they were stated, give off caution flags. Most who you see respond with concern are just doing so because of that and will be praying for him. I think most of us look forward to calling him brother one day.

[@urkilinmesmallz]

@woidonmiguel1 Yes, and knowing him personally, he is a brother. I understand where you are coming from, but a 10 minite video does not define the entirety of who Mitch is spritually and as a follower of Christ. Appreciate the response, and i do understand where you and others are coming from. 🙏 Ray, I will see you at the pier someday, so be ready for me..

My definition of sin is the state of separation from God and the poor fruit in our lives that results from that separation. We either conciously or unconsciously choose to continue to live in our state of sin, shown by our actions that separate us from God. Therefore, it is our actions that continue the existence of living in sin, and the harms and problems of this world are derived from our choices. We cannot blame God for the consequences of our choices.

[@scotthaynes5440]

Yup, the theology of Gregory of Nyssa and the cappadocian fathers was the prevailing thought even during the 4th century when Agustin discussed eternal torment. Augustine admits this. The cappadocian fathers where instrumental in developing the early creeds of the church. I think from Gregory of Nyssa’s point of view we would be the ones that have created an idol. His treatise on 1 Corinthians 15:28 is interesting. David Bentley Hearts book “that all shall be saved” is a compelling argument.

This reminds me of how I used to think I could intellectualize my way out of conviction. The Bible is powerfully simple, and this passage speaks it perfectly, Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Intellect is a gift, but can be used against us so easily, since being saved, I hold Proverbs 3:5 close to heart, more than ever now: Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

[@louisjwiese5515]

Repentance seems problematic sometimes to me. As it seems to require someone to get their life right, before they can be saved. How can you truly be free of sin without the grace of God? Is it therefore repentance from sin, from your own ways or beliefs, or from dead works (as stated in Hebrews)? What does it mean, turning away from self to Christ? Many Christians I know struggle with this. As many Christians fall into sin, and then feel they will not be forgiven or restored unless they somehow overcome their own sins by themselves.
