Frankie wasn’t really an atheist. He was an agnostic. He just wasn’t sure about his beliefs.
Not to burst your bumble, you can't be in the middle, you can't believe in God and not be an atheist, i will give an example, you can't love the world and God at the same time.
Neel Reel You are not bursting any bubble. I merely used the proper adjective.
Pattie Moseman Noun?
Evangelist Kim Patrik Yeah, I suppose it is a noun. I guess I was thinking it describes his belief.
@@rebelwithacause5217 It's true though.
“Alright” lol love that guy, I pray Frankie would find happiness, love, and understanding through Christ
I love him too!
Amen
I hope he finds it in reality
And Salvation.
I hope he finds repentance.
No Bible No Breakfast...His Word is more than a necessity than what a necessity is...
Matthew 4 4
Man does not live on bread alone...
So obey and believe me or I starve you? lol
@@sircasino614 without God, we starve. "Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God." Jesus said this when fasting for 40 days in the wilderness.
@@necromantic420 And yet here I am, no god and full.
I learn so much from you, and admire your passion to reach the lost. I pray that the entire body of Christ would be filled with this passion also. God Bless you
And may God bless u sister.
The conversation with the lady in the floppy hat was one of the most helpful. I appreciate Ray's reasoning. I want to remember that.
You can't wash yourself with a mirror! That nailed it..
The law is a mirror, and you don't wash with the mirror! But with water!
And Christ said he is the "living water"!

Happy Independence Day!! Thanks for your encouragement in your videos!
Happy America Day!!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It's telling that all of these techniques to convert atheists are emotional appeals rather than facts.
Thats was perfect! Just what they needed to hear! Amen
I’m so glad I found this.
I enjoyed watching this video. It shows that we can and should always have a loving spirit when you try to talk to someone about God's Word especially to those who aren't saved.
If a person refuses to hear you speak the Word to them, then as the scriptures say, "shake the dust from your feet (Matthew 10:14)." I'd pray on my own that an individual or a group would be saved.
"we can and should always have a loving spirit"
Thats it!
perfect brother 👍👍
@@blowitoutyourcunt7675 Yes, i too often see that, everything seems to be blamed on demons these days, why? Demons are real and they are a threat but to assume someone is demon possessed is useless speculation amd does not show the love of God
2 Timothy 1
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Jesus said, "He that hears you hears Me; and he that despises you despises Me; and he that despises Me despises the One who sent Me."
Ray Comfort is an amazing servant of God
@@chriswinchell1570 ...
😂
Right..... sure.
🤦♂️
The mirror analogy is great! I've never heard of it before but is perfect when understanding how tainted we are because of sin
Nice how you touched on several relevant and important ideas. The music is great too!
May YHWH bless you, Ray. You are such a great example for me, and hope to someday feel that I have maybe help one soul back home.
For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
Amen
If my neighbor loved me so much that he decided to have his son executed for me, what would you think of him?
@@tompaine4044 U speak as one who doesn't understand Scripture. Christ was executed so u don't have to be thrown into hell and face God's wrath. For u have sinned against Him. Christ is saving u from your own doing.
@@n.holt7 So if I did something nasty to my neighbor, *then* he would be correct in executing his son for me?
If I have a different understanding of scripture than you do, how could we tell if either of us had the correct interpretation? (Let's assume both our interpretations are internally consistent.)
Read about Abraham and Isaac. He was ready to execute his promised son. Given that info, I must ask you a question. Why are you asking this? Are you having some confusion or just wanting to be argumentative? I shan't argue with you sir. By the wording of your question, it seems that you are spoiling for an argument. I do pray for you and hope you are a Child of Christ! Remember that even Satan quotes the scripture. Yes he convolutes it in order to meet his agenda. He hates you and all of the Lord God's creation. He will ruin your life and you will be cast into Hell with him. Please be smarter. Don't let it happen.
Ray is so refreshing to watch.
GOD bless both those people I pray that now Ray has planted the seed that they will
turn to Jesus Christ for their Salvation GOD bless brothers//sisters and GOD bless
you Ray.
Thank you Ray! All blessings to you. God is great!
Fantastic! Praying for both
So encouraging. Been out on the streets with my daughter tonight, with the Aussie million dollar notes and using the law in the same way.
Mark Kenzie Good for you Mark. Blessings. Ray
Blessings to you brother Ray Keep Spreading the Word of God and Feeding the Flock because Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the truth and the Light 🤗 🙏🤗 🙏🤗 🙏
Good video Buddy! Love y'all~John
Keep up the good work brother
It’s so sweet to know and see, that people like Ray love the Lord for real! I hope to be able to witness like he does one day. Better yet, like Christ did, and still does. Through the ones He loves and the ones that love Him.
Keep up the good work ray
Amen thanks for this video ray 🙏🕊❤️
Thanks Ray and ya’ll at Living Waters for all you do for the Kingdom of God.
This is so similar to Bill Weis’ message! I could not figure out where I heard the analogies before. Lol. Good job Ray! I hope to someday articulate the message of God with boldness like this! Praise God! 💚
Amen! That is my hope as well😊
Love this channel. 🙌✝️
Loved it! So simple !
Im not good at evangelism but every time i watch i want to run out and just grab the closest person and shake em wake up ! :)
Im writing this down on a legal pad to practice. I just love how simple it is to show how much we NEED a Savior!
PTL!
Just go out and pray!
Someone in this comment section claimed that when they encounter atheists, they seem surly and standoffish. Listen to what you just said. That's probably why. Atheists don't usually care about your religion and are constantly approached by people like you who want to have the same old conversations and preach at them. How often does someone come running up to you telling you about the joy you could have in your life if you'd just led go if this silly Jesus delusion? Probably not too often, and you'd probably start to get kind of annoyed if it DID happen all the time. To an atheist, you are the equivalent of an obnoxious door to door salesman or telemarketer. You have nothing of interest for most of them and are nothing but a nuisance... just to give you some perspective.
You talkin to me or femelius.....lol
Those are the types of atheists i love to meet. Not those arrogant once. Still love them.
It's pain deep down, just speak to them. They may surprise you but remember not everyone has ears to hear. :]
This is amazing 😃. Let’s keep preaching the gospel boldly and with power ! Life is so short ! Also, pray that the Holy Spirit will give us the words so it will be Him who speaks through us ! God bless you and happy Independence Day !
Please pray for me to be bold enough to share the gospel. 🙏
@@BJLoversforGod Hi dear sister Jeny ! Will definitely pray for you! Father, in Jesus name! The name above every name! To your name all knees shall bow and confess you Lord. We lift up Jeny, your precious daughter to your throne room. We pray for a strong anointing and overfilling of the Holy Spirit, and the she will continue to have power and boldness in her witnessing! Praise the Lord. To You all things are possible. And your daughter in Christ is now going to step out in boldness to share the gospel! What Jesus did for us on the cross! Because we believe you have already answered our prayers, because we pray according to your will and none perish, but all to come to repentance. And that we are praying in agreement! Here she is, Jeny will be sent out, and she will go and be empowered by you for the work you have called Her to do! In the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!

Like your videos....
They inspire courageous actions in a world lacking Christ.
I also listen to videos of David Lynn "ChristForgiveness"and "The Street Preacher"... All such good stuff.
TY
Wish I had the guts to lead someone to Christ. These videos are helping me grow
My church just hosted a 2 day course that Ray and Kirk put together called The Way of The Master. You should ask your pastors to look into it for you and grab up the training material. If they won’t look into it, you need a new church
William, I am with you. Ray’s witnessing gives to the tools and motivation to do so, too. Take care.
So, how many of us are actually going to put this into practice? I really want to.
Good stuff!!! Praise God 🙏🏼
1:46 Well I don't believe in manufacturers I just believe it happened by chance😂 God bless you Ray
And the new music is great, btw
I’m so shock how these people are so honest with themselves and others
Very similar to other broadcasts but that's ok. I did bulk at the question do you read the Bible every day because I do not. Thank you for this reminder. We are blessed to have Bibles and should read them.
As usual amazing truth
How could anyone dislike Rays videos
Most people who value sound and principled arguments dislike Ray’s videos
Ray! Do you have a video explaining how you became a christian??? I'd love to hear your story!
He does have a video of his testimony.
I think I know an atheist who claims to be a Christian because our teacher asked us what we are thankful for (this was 7th grade at a Christian school) and she said "nothing"
thanks for sharing
A man with a blessing to save souls. Tried it, not easu
Thank yous so very much
get more green pieces of paper, that guy may not understand the gospel but he understands America

This is very easy when the people aren’t spewing hate at you. When I witness to people they simply misrepresent and mock. Please pray for these people.
When she said sell all you have and follow Jesus - Ray jumped pass that in a hurry.

Fear is sin and it leads to death. It is not your friend. Forgiving sin changes it like you can be changed. LovingWill
How does going to hell not concerns you. I don't get that as for me that freaks me out.
If you do not believe in the existence of Hell there is nothing to frighten you.
@Evolution is fact I must be very lucky not to have been scared witless by some priest/pastor in my youth. Perhaps my age has inured me to the effects of such people.
If you are a good person you are NOT going to hell. At some time Jesus will convince you of His truth ..... Some take longer than others and need more convincing ... God will not abandon any of His children and condemn them to Hell. However ... There are some that are made for the pit .. They are the irredeemable, those that have knowingly and willingly "souled"out to Satan. The Fallen, Lucifer, the seeds of Satan .... It is a rotten thing to start out with a line like "aren't you afraid of going to Hell" .... Because it's WRONG ..
@@justiceisnow3162 That's not quite what the bible says. It's a feel good spin, and not necessarily a new one, but in no way is "being a good person" enough to grant you entry into heaven according to the bible. Being a good person for it's own sake is more of a secular humanist notion than a Christian one. Christianity celebrates faith over deeds. Part of you recognizes the arbitrary nature of faith - of being being convinced of something. You don't think faith that is something that should determine your worth as a person, but that's the opposite of what the bible says. Your personal beliefs are in conflict with scripture. It's something that is becoming more and more common. It's something you might want to take some time to reconcile.
@@justiceisnow3162 I am unsure of where you got this information. It is said by Jesus that the goats and sheep will be separated. He also says that some will go to Hell! This is a real place and not some fanciful imaginative place. You must read the word and you will know what I am saying is absolutely true. If you need quotes I will send them your way..
Great!
God Bless friends~ 🙏❤

Thumbs up!
I love how this video was put together! Teaching one how to share the gospel with the other.
It's good to see folks come face-to-face with the truth: I've seen some folks quickly convert to deism from atheism, so to speak, when faced with the universe having an origin.
Combined with the existence of objective morality (we can see how this fellow quickly is disgusted when the idea of truly unfettered hedonism is laid more bare) and how we fall short of it: folks get thinking.
God gives the increase, not us: still we are commanded to share His word and go farming, whether it's watering or harvesting.
If I had a dollar for every time Ray Comfort uses the teliological argument, I may as well be in heaven
Amen!
Ray can't keep on trotting out his 'something came out of nothing' gambit. The current cosmological theory is of an ever expanding, contracting universe that has always been around.
Frankie the “Atheist” looked more receptive than the “Christian” girl
I think the said passage tends to create confusion (at the least it genders questions about Jesus) in its presentation: why call me good??? This seems to imply that Jesus wasn't good. I guess I just think that it needs to be explained further somewhat, so as to not give the implication or impression that Jesus was not God in the flesh.
Hello Ray,
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! Really great to learn how to evangelize.
I still had a short comment though.
The text be swift to hear and slow to speak is about in conversations with people mostly. I do not think it applies to prayer, because the Bible also says pray without ceasing. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and Jesus also said that we should persevere in prayer through the parable of the widow and the unrighteous judge.
Although I know that you do not mean to discourage people to pray, the way you compare prayer with bible-reading seems to me to be out of place, because it seems like you would want people to pray less than to read bible. Of course both are really important.
God bless you in your efforts!
Greetings from Stefan
I don't think he meant that the way you took it. I think he was simply pointing out to her that reading her bible is something she should start doing because it's how we hear God speak. Nevertheless, God bless you and yours. Take care.
Perhaps you’ve heard it’s a good idea to listen more and speak less. And that, while anger is not always sinful, we ought always be slow to it. Certainly, such virtues are to be commended. But have we really understood James’s intentions when he speaks of these things?
Context matters. If we learn to read the Bible for what it is-and not as a collection of independently assembled proverbial sayings-we’ll discover that some of our most familiar passages don’t actually mean what we’ve always assumed.
The Verse
You may have already figured out which verse I have in mind:
Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger. (James 1:19)
The verse seems clear enough, right? It’s a perfect memory verse for the angry person or jabbering child. But have you considered what it is James wants you to hear more quickly? And what does he want you to be slower to speak about? And what does he expect you’ll be angry about?
The Problem
James’s writing style differs from other New Testament authors, especially those who wrote letters. Where other authors make liberal use of logical connectors (for, therefore, because, so that, etc.), James relies more on his content to move his argument forward.
Commentators often compare James’s letter with Old Testament wisdom literature, because James draws on similar techniques (poetic metaphor, pithy wording, practical application) in his writing. But we must not forget that wisdom literature-be it Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Job, or James-always tries to make us think. The message is not always in your face or vibrantly presented. The message is something you’re supposed to ponder.
So the “problem” with James is that he doesn’t spell out how he gets from one idea to the next. He expects us to think about it and notice his careful verbal connections. His thought is less like a train and more like a gently flowing river; sometimes we need to paddle a bit, but we can always drift along behind James’s lead raft. He’ll drop clues into the water for us pick up so we don’t lose him at the next fork.
The Argument
James begins his letter with his main idea: “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds” (James 1:2). James wants to help us. He doesn’t want us to be surprised when trials come. We ought not be discouraged or depressed. We need eyes to see what God is doing in those trials. This perspective is one of “all joy.”
As we work through James’s argument from here, we should observe how each new paragraph (and sometimes each sentence) takes a key word or idea from the previous paragraph to expand on.
Trials make us steadfast (James 1:3), and the effect of this steadfastness is to make us perfect and complete, lacking in nothing (James 1:4).
One thing we lack is wisdom, but we can ask for it (James 1:5).
When we ask (James 1:6), we can expect to receive something-wisdom, and joy in trials-from the Lord (James 1:7-8).
But when we think of receiving something from the Lord, we typically think of material wealth. We must remember that both poverty (James 1:9) and riches (James 1:10-11) are trials in themselves. We must view them rightly to count them all joy.
The greatest wealth is not found in riches (or poverty) but in the blessing that God promises to those who remain steadfast (James 1:12).
Another trial is related to how we understand our trials! When undergoing trial, we tend to doubt God’s promises and charge him with doing wrong by us (James 1:13).
But God never does wrong by us; any wrong comes from the evil desire that sprouts within (James 1:14-15).
In other words, what we say about our trials really matters. Let us never say God is responsible for the evil that comes from within us.
For example: While it may be appropriate for someone to say that God is the cause of their season of singleness (he put me here in what feels like a trial), it is never appropriate to say that God is the cause of their lust problem (if he hadn’t put me in this season, I wouldn’t have this temptation).
We must not be deceived, failing to see God as our unchanging Father who gives us good and perfect gifts (James 1:16-17).
One of those good and perfect gifts is to make us good and perfect through steadfastness in trial (back up to James 1:4). This could also be described as a new birth, which he grants us through his word of truth (James 1:18).
Back to the Verse
So when we finally reach James 1:19, having walked through the chapter to that point, we see a few things:
We must be “quick to hear” the word of truth (James 1:18) that declares who God is (James 1:17), who we are (James 1:14-15), and what God is doing in us through trials (James 1:3-4).
We must be “slow to speak” words of criticism about the God (James 1:13) who brings us trials (James 1:2) to make us steadfast (James 1:12), perfect and complete (James 1:4).
We must be “slow to anger” toward the Father of lights (James 1:17), who gives generously (James 1:5), promises assuredly (James 1:12), and transforms us personally (James 1:18).
The Argument Moves On
Your anger toward God will never produce the righteousness in you God desires (James 1:20). Put away your stubborn and rebelliously self-centered interpretations of your trials-which are filthy and rampantly wicked-and receive the word of God which speaks to your trials (James 1:21). And don’t just listen, but actually do it; let God’s word change your perspective and make you truly steadfast in trial (James 1:22-25). When you’re ready to bridle your tongue, and speak of your trials (even your religion) the same way God does in his word (James 1:26), you’ll be transformed to move out beyond yourself to serve the weakest among you (James 1:27).
Conclusion
So while James 1:19 remains a marvelous memory verse, it might be helpful to know James especially has in mind our listening to God, our speaking about God, and our anger toward God. We must deal with this before we’ll be equipped to love our neighbor (James 1:27, and on into chapter 2).
@@Deewayne2K18 Take a look at my posts for what James was really saying
Body of Christ remember in Mark 16:15-16 Jesus taught us to preach the Gospel to every person.
Also, it is up to them whether they accept our message and be saved or reject it and condemn themselves.
So don’t be discouraged when they reject it. It might not be their “day of salvation” but hopefully it isn’t during the Great Tribulation.
The Holy Spirit is the one who convicts of sin and regenerates an individual we don’t do anything but simply preach the Gospel.
It doesn’t matter whether they get saved or not because at the Bema Seat of Christ will get rewarded for our obedience.
How can I get saved if I'm mortally perfect already?
If I was an atheist that argument would not even come close to swaying my unbelief.
James Couch Thank you for watching anyway. Best wishes, Ray Comfort
@@LivingWaters thank you for what you do. May God richly bless you. You are building up treasures in heaven.

I have a question.. it says if you lust at a women you committed adultery.. does that mean even if you see a women or man and say that their pretty or handsome?
No, lust is well.....lust. I can say a flower or painting is pretty but I would not call that lust.
I like this guy Frankie. May God save him.
We do need to follow the commandments - Jesus says if you love me keep my commandments - how can you have legal implications to a law that is not enforced anymore?
Wasn't one of his commandments to "love each other as I have loved you"? Aren't they summarized by Jesus directly?
My son is 14 in few days ago he told me he doesn’t want to to believe in Jesus anymore. He said he is atheists. I am praying for him but I am so worried I am afraid he will never turn to Jesus. And I want to bring him to see you how can I meet you?? Pls let me know??
You do such a great job. Thank you so much for what you do
Makes sense
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness
Mark 16:15 Go out and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation
The law of the Old Covenant was much more than only 10 commandments. It were in full 613 commandments with only 10 being the first and most important of them. By the way: the laws of the old covenant are mostly not the same as in the new covenant, e.g. to keep the Sabbath and the rules about which meat is allowed to be eaten. What's in the new covenant, you won't find in the Old Testament, but in the New, and not before Jesus' death, but after it, thus mostly in the letters of the apostles.
The Old Covenant is fulfilled since Jesus' death, so it doesn't apply to us, but the New Covenant does, so we have to study the commandments of the New Testament. They apply to us.
Maybe witness to an atheist in California, but where I am, it seems like most atheists would say there are no limits and whatever is okay. They do not seem to take what I say by any means serious when I ask them, at least I hope. If not, then they really do have problems.
This is *highly* unlikely to be effective against atheists. These are the arguments that resonate extremely well with people who already believe. As someone who doesn't accept "sin" I wouldn't claim to be a sinner. And as someone who doesn't believe in a hell, I'm not bothered by people telling me I'm gonna be sent there.
Repent there's all the argument you need.
@@autisticphaglosophy7128 That's not an argument, it's basically just saying "become a Christian"
@@BFizzi719 It was sarcastic because it'd seem like common sense that atheistic naturalistic materialism is fake and gay while the Christian metaphysic holds the truth.
@@autisticphaglosophy7128 Did you just use the word "gay" as an insult? There's those good Christian morals and values shining through.
@@dinohall2595 Homosexuality is characterized as a denigrating passion in the bible so it's ok to use it in this manner. Without the Christian worldview there are no real values so you have no basis for criticism.
Did anyone notice Ray replied to the lady when she said to obey the commandments he said no? We still have to obey the moral law not the ceremonial law
What if you break one of these 'moral laws', do you still have salvation?
Context is important. Ray asked why did Jesus ask the rich young ruler about the commandments? She replied bc we need to follow them. Ray said no replying to her answer. The REASON Jesus presented the 10 commandments was so the rich young ruler could know that ge had broken God's Law not so He would follow them. Should we break the commandments? No. And that isnt what Ray was saying, he was stating that the reason Jesus presented the commandments was to expose the mans sin. So by saying no he was saying no that wasnt the reason, not no we shouldnt follow them.
@@wvayvay4370 Yes(you still have Salvation), for the calling and gifts of God ate irrevocable accourding to Paul.
@@n.holt7 My bible in Matthew 19:20, the man said he had kept these commandments. Therefore, according to the Law, the young ruler was found righteous because he had kept them. (now wether or not he actually had, who knows, but Paul said he was righteous based on the mosaic law in Philippians 3:6. I believe Paul, so it is likely the young ruler had also kept the law or else the Prophet would of called him out).
In verse 21, Jesus tells him what he must do to be perfect, and that was to 'go and sell all and give to the poor'. Barnabas did this in Acts 4:36-37.
It wasn't the law that Jesus found fault with the young ruler, it was he didn't believe Jesus when He said sell all and follow me. Appearenly, the young ruler didn't believe God would take care of him, like God did with his fathers in the desert for forty years after Egypt.
All I know is that Paul brought 9 of the 10 commandments forward. Why teach a gentile he is a sinner based upon the Mosaic Law, when scripture is clear,,, by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, Romans 5:12. But the gift of grace is not like the offense, Romans 5:15-21.
@@wvayvay4370 If you listen to what Ray is talking about he often says you and I have broken Gods laws so we are all guilty But the gospel is that if we accept what Jesus did for us I.e he paid our price so we can be legally released from death row, but if we don't then we won't
