I have had the same ideology but my truth is that God convicts me which in turn is his love for me in a real personal way, like a son to a father. The human experience is more than thought of the experience happening but the control we actually have over our life to give it to God or let our “goodness” control us. Whats better God or goodness? The word according to merriam webster goodness says to be in a state of good. The word state means to be in a condition; conditional goodness would be horrible if everybody’s definition of good was ultimately good. Good is not a feeling of it but the SUSTAINED state of goodness which comes through God; found through our acceptance of what Jesus Christ did;and repentance for our aforementioned belief that our goodness is good enough. Every religion says there good but what’s good about a self proclaimed goodness it does no profit for people to believe in a conditional good when literally anything can be conditioned to be good just like bad kids when a guest comes over the house. You still love your kid but the parent is the moral provider for the family not the kids idea of being a “good boy” “girl”. We fool ourself believing empty logic. We’re smarter than we give off we just think people don’t catch on.

Not all people need beliefs for hope so no, has it gotten you a place in heaven, if that all you strive gor whats the point in living this life at all, has it gotten you character? No. Beliefs are truthfully meaningless. They are a toxic good. And an entirely unnecessary one. because if something is just good in theory. Its not good at all

He argues very well indeed. But are you able to see that he is making pretty bold statements about what he believes to be true. Just wondering if he’s able to defend that view.
Im an agnostic, because I believe that neither atheists or religious people can prove that a god exists or doesn’t exist. I’m not going to shut out anyone’s opinions that differ from mine. Hell, I may even become religious one day, it’s just I think both parties have no evidence to back up their claim.

And remember the Bible was written 2000 years ago and no one can’t make 2000+ predictions in the future without being divine (aka God, or given the power of God) what more proof do you want?

Well, you don't deny God outright. I'll commend you for that. If you genuinely want to know God then all it takes Is a little humility (as that's what God is looking for) Open up the word, (bible) and say (with a genuine heart) "I'm not totally sure if you exist, if you do, I'm here to learn who, and what you are. Please show me" He will never turn away an honest, humble person. Never. If not now, then please, keep it in the back of your mind. You won't regret it, if you do come to God. God bless. If you want I can pray for you. Or if you are interested, I'd love to have a discussion with you about it. Shalom (peace to you)
@@xaviersonofgod4464 thanks buddy but I'm 50 years old and have done all the things you're talkin about all my life.

@@youtoo2233 I have a love for God, no religion tells me how to run my life, God does. I can say that for a fact. May not always listen perfect, but that doesn't mean I don't love Him. As for other faiths, there is only one God, and He is the only one I acknowledge as legitimate, as He has written in His word "I am the only God, and know of no others". I am telling you the same thing that they would tell their children, yes. But, how would you explain the love that comes from true christianity? You find a love in christianity that no other religion has. Not only that, but it hates all forms of evil. Everything that causes pain, and grief, the God of the bible hates! If our religion is a sham, then we lived some of the happiest, love filled lives there are, that could and have been on this planet.

@@Anndrew154 It's really just the way the guy says certain things like his statement about the building, the reason why I know the building exists is because it was made by a human that's common sense, the entire universe is a whole extraordinarily different then a building, the earth is less then a speck of dust compared to the universe, hell we barely even know what's at the bottom of our own oceans so to me the process is kinda annoying to just attempt to simply compare the entire universe to a Building, combine that with the fact that he comes of as really pushy with his beliefs and the way he talks to people in a similar way to children makes him have this holier-than-thou attitude it just kinda results in more people being pushed away by the guy, I personally believe that everyone is allowed to believe in whatever they want to believe in as long as they are not hurting anyone in the process, and as someone who was kinda forced into a Baptist cult it kinda messed me up as a child but I'm no longer in that situation anymore but my views are still a bit soured on alot of things with Christianity but I try to stay civil and fair in these things everyone is allowed their own beliefs, my personal beliefs are that any of the reasons why we exist could be possible and it could also not be possible, I accept the fact that I as a simple human do not know why anything exists and as such I'm not going to make the claim that I know the unknowable

I have a relationship with God, I’ve never seen God but his presence and Holy Spirit within me is so powerful you can’t escape it even if you wanted to. The love and peace and joy I get from getting closer to God and helping others in prayer is like nothing else. When Jesus ascended up to heaven after he resurrected, He left his spirit here for us, so that we can have encounters with Him and have a relationship. I’ve had countless times where God would tell me in my heart to go pray for that person and I would, then they’d start weeping because God touched there heart right there.

Blasphemy! "No blasphemer shall inherit the kingdom of heaven"....1st Corinthians chapter 6v9 nkjv only GOD is amazing! to worship and serve the creature rather than the creator is idolatry! you are blind...this man is spiritually blind and dead and i believe you are as well for misjudging so unrighteously receiving the person of sinful wicked men who reject GOD... "those who condemn the Righteous and those who justify the wicked; both are an abomination to the LORD"...Proverbs chapter 17 nkjv
Clark Kent I would stop short of judging either of them as spiritually dead. That is Gods work on judgement day. We are called to plant and to water, be salt and light. While on the cross our Lord said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” If he could say that on the cross, then surely we can be kind to those that disagree and pray that they see the truth.
That is the spirit of being polite! However politeness is overestimated. You probably deserve to be polite with, but someone who is hostile and aggressive towards someone due to his religion do not. There should be no tolerance for violence.
The interviewer is so close minded, he is not trying to listen he is trying to convince. I am agnostic and this guy being interviewed was so patient. Great responses!
He's telling the man the truth. Either Jesus was a liar and the God of the Bible is not real, or he was telling the truth. And based on the eyewitness in the Scriptures, it is hard to believe that they would sacrifice their own lives for spreading the truth of they thought all of it was a lie. The best thing to do is open up the Bible and read the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke and decide if it is truth for yourself.

I pray He shows Himself to you in an unmistakable way...could be some odd dream ..or chance meetings...a word...or maybe all of them combined but its to let you know Jesus is the answer. Open the door of your heart and let Him in. He's not there to rob you...He's there to give you something your soul is screaming for that this world cannot give you. Just think about it please. So long Nee Laa.
@I'm 5 when someone puts their trust and faith in Jesus their salvation is a fact - not a "feeling". You say "nothing happened" after you prayed. But I have no way of knowing what you prayed...or what you prayed to "happen". Can you share a bit about your life and what lead you to pray?
@I'm 5 don't take this wrong I'm 5 because I don't intend it to be a slam in any way. We need to discuss this and its difficult to do here in a YT comment section and not face to face as I wish it to be. I don't know the details and assuming things can take us way off course. What I hear you saying is you speak of christianity like its some kind of club a person joins..or a pill you swallow..and when you say your prayer just right with some religious sounding words God appears.."things" begin to happen...and this somehow verifies what you've done and validates "Christianity". It does neither. Religion is mans way to reach God. Christianity is God's way to reach man. Christianity is a relationship with God. Sometimes that relationship does start off in unmistakable and physical ways that the person experiences but more often than not "nothing" happens - at least nothing in the way of physical manifestations. Write this down on a sticky note and place it where it can serve to remind you that your salvation thru the death and resurrection of Jesus is a "FACT" not a "FEELING". You want physical "feelings" to go with your physical prayers but your salvation is spiritual. You're waiting for something to happen to your physical mind and body..but your physical mind and body is not what Jesus came to save. He came to save your soul which the bible tells us was d-e-a-d. It was never "alive". Jesus said it needed to be born again. Only He can provide that. A new body comes later but for now He promises that your name will be written in the Lambs book of LIFE. He promises once this physical life is over you will join Him in heaven. If His actions on that cross and words of promise towards you are not enough proof for you then what would be? A new car? A bag of cash? A big screen tv? Fame & fortune? There were people who witnessed Jesus' miracles..looked directly into His eyes...ate the fish and bread He provided...saw blind people get their vision...heal the deaf..take leprosy away..raise a dead man....and just a few months later scream out - CRUCIFY HIM! Why? Because when He didn't do another miracle or give them the "feeling" they wanted they had no more use for Him. They called Him a fraud. A liar. And they turned their backs on Him. Are you one of those people? You prayed the prayer and said the words but a relationship that lasts thru an etetnity deserves more than the 5 minutes you gave Him. No?
@I'm 5 ok..the joke was on me. I believed you were serious ..and I reached out. You got me. But you won't punk God. And when you're standing alone before Him at the Great White Throne of Judgement giving an account of your life.. it will be too late to get serious. Be prepared to hear the words "depart from me..I never knew you". I cannot think of anything more terrifying than to hear those words.. and I didn't want you to face that. So long and take care.
As a Christian, I felt more attached to the other guy He is a good guy who doesn't mind saying that he had done wrong and doesn't feel shy saying that he doesn't know something, doesn't just disagree with the Christian dude who is trying to do something good but I don't feel he is doing it right.

Plz dont talk about my christian sisters and brothers like that
agnosticism isn't a religion... a means not and gnostic means knowledge or knowing... so not knowing. But you can't JUST be agnostic. If someone asks you do you believe in God? and you say "I don't know". Thats not answering the question. If you say "I don't believe in one but there could be" then you'd be an agnostic atheist. If on the other hand you say "I know for a fact there is NOT a god you'd be a gnostic atheist". The same goes for theism. A gnostic theist is certain of gods existence. And an agnostic theist simply believes but isnt certain. I think many people that refer to themselves as agnostic either don't know what it really means or have a hard time calling themselves atheist. A lot of people think it's a philosophy or religion But it's simply not believing in a god. No more no less.

Hi friend, if you don't mind me asking, is it that you believe in God but because of the many different religions, you are unsure which is the right God?
@@racpatrice Exactly! I'm pretty certain there's a source/God/Gods behind the existence of life. A "God of humans" or "God of life" maybe even a "God of all things". I believe the information necessary to build our intelligent existence (DNA) could not have randomly occured from nowhere. A book doesn't write itself, as they say. I come from a Christian background and like/prefer the idea that Jesus is God because I think he'd make a good God. I like his story, the story of hope and victory (at least for a few). I don't mind "Hell" so much, but I did have to get over being angry about a God's potential condemnation. If he/she/it/they (i will just use he/his from now on for sake of ease and tradition) is our god, how can we argue with his reality? Its futile, so, we should just accept our God whether he is a loving father, or a vicious hungry ball of tentacles. Yes, plurality caused my division with my first belief system (Christianity). Though I sought to "disprove" Christianity, I never could. Scientific problems in the bible (like noah's ark and the age of creation to name just a few) began as issues, but fell away. I accepted the power of the potential metaphor of things like that in the bible. I could still see the potential legitmacy of Jesus as God through those potential "errors" (for lack of a better term). But still the silence stoked the fires of my doubt. Our God is a quiet God. Maybe he's asleep, or somehow disconnected, or on vacation, or too mighty to show himself because he may rip reality apart. Haha, whatever the case he's quiet, and so all we have to confirm his actual identity is faith. Our God gave us our physical senses to discern truth. Why then would we need to ignore them or bypass them to discern the truth of God? I understand I'm just a man and that my evaluation or estimation of what a God should be or do is probably fundemntally flawed. But still, it's all that I am and the best I can do. Everything I've ever learned has been with these senses "God" gave me. And, though we all detect that "inner sense" or "spiritual sense" (sixth sense if you will) that's never been used to verify truth. It's too.. Personal.. We've all seen people believe anything they want using that "spiritual sense". There's just no way to objectively identify that senses data as "truth". What I am left with then is to believe whatever makes me feel comfortable because God himself isn't verifiable. For now I still pray to Jesus/YHWH/creator of humaity because I don't know who else to pray to other than "God". But, that's not a name it's a title, and it's fairly young in its implementation so, I feel it dosent actually address the "person" of God. My prayers are always a little appologetic, in acknowledgment of the fact that I may be missnaming our God. But, he never corrects me.. Lol.. All in all, I feel like it's dishonest to declare myself a Christian. I wouldn't reccomened the religion to anyone else in my current condition, and I certainly don't practice it in any significant way. If I end up in a place like Hell I sincerly hope that I will respect our gods decision to place me there and that he will at least acknowledge that I lived by what I knew was true. Even if it costs me an eternity of suffering..
@@therealblackout3659 Hi, the fact that you are here on Ray's videos tells me that deep down you are searching for truth. Living Waters has a video called "scientific facts from the bible", so this should help you where believing the authenticity of the God of the Bible goes. I understand your confusion, though I have never doubted that God (Yahweh) was ever the real God, I have in the past (when I was backslidden) questioned why there was so much pain and suffering if God loves us so much and why we would go to hell for eternity if we don't do things His way. I'll tell you a testimony of mine to help you see why I never doubted the God of the bible as the true God.: When I was 14 years old, i used to pray alot. I would always pray everytime my parents left the house, asking God to protect them etc. One day, my father left home to hang out with some friends and God spoke to me AUDIBLY and TOLD ME TO PRAY. I knew immediately He meant for me to pray for my father. It turns out, that same night, my father got into a really bad car accident and should have died (he said so himself) but walked out without any injuries. 🙏🙌. Praises be to God and the power of prayer. I have many testimonies but I decided to share that one with you to show you, yes the God of the bible speaks and is the real God. He doesn't always speak audibly but He does speak. Most often through His Word and through the Holy Spirit. Christianity is a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We must be Born-Again by the Spirit of God, repent of our sins and have a supernaturally changed life through the help of the bible and the Holy Spirit. Because of our relationship with God through the born again experience, we no longer have the desire to sin because God gives us a new nature which seeks to please Him. I suspect that what you were introduced to was religion and not true Christianity. Here are a couple books that can help you on your search for truth: 1. "The Case for Christ" - Lee Strobel 2. "What really is Christianity?"- Austin Debourg They are both available on Amazon & Amazon Kindle I hope this helps. God truly does love you dear one. The bible teaches us if we seek, we shall find..Ask God the next time you pray, to reveal truth to you.
@@racpatrice Thank you sincerely. I'm touched by your concern. I'm familiar with Stroble and love his work. I'm also a big fan of (some of these may be misspelled) Ravi Zacharias, Chuck Missler, and Kent Hovind. Poor Kent got busted for tax evasion, but I still think he's an ok resource for would-be Christians. I've dabbled in Christian history touching on authors like (again forgive my spelling) Kikergaard, C.S. Lewis, and Kant. I've read the entire bible once and the gospels a few times, at least three. I spent a decade of my life scouring Christianity in both theological and heretical studies. I try to stay "open" but having no foundation will make you crazy, so over time some ideals become entrenched. He spoke to you. That's something awesome, he's never spoken to me. He seems to have answered my prayers, and praying makes me feel better. It feels good to pray, that's why I still do it. I "feel" like he's listening.. That's all I can say. Yet, I also spent several years not praying and everything worked out just the same.Everything changed though when I realized something one day. Would God speaking to me, audibly speaking to me, be enough? If not. What level of miracle would it require for me to instantly believe and follow with everything? I realized that no miracle would be sufficient because my rational mind would always seek to fit it into the rules of reality. I would literally talk myself out of believing this thing, whatever it was. It was then I realized what a pickle I was in. Afterward I began to pray to him to make me believe. I gave him permission to change me, to erase what was blocking my belief. That went on for a few years, but alas, earwax (as dumbledor would say). So, I sought to believe through philosophical and scientific cross examination. Historical evidence, one of my favorites is this dude that does a "cold case" study of Christianity. That one was great. I found all the reasons why everyone else throughout history believed, and none of them seemed to apply to me. Lol. Brutal. So, I decided the best course of action was to be honest with myself and everyone else. To be brave enough to stare down the gates of Hell for the truth. And finally, hope that the God of truth would honor me for that. I'm more impressed by your concern than your advice. I always appreciate meeting someone who tries to walk the walk. Never give up on it. My fiance is a true believer. She says she can't not believe, and, I love that. I feel like true Christians can make this world a better place. The current church is kinda.. Lost though.. Can't say they are too impressive right now. But, if the bible is the truth, it will all work out in the end! Right? Hehe.
@@therealblackout3659 I'm so happy that my testimony inspired you and yes I am concerned for you because I know how much God loves you 😊. Please read the books I mentioned. "What really is Christianity" is excellent and simple to grasp. The next time you are ready to read the bible ask God to help you and speak to you through His Word. 🤗

Just had a very lengthy conversation with my staunch Christian mom. I'm glad I found this video, it's reaffirmed my stand on being an agnostic. Merry Christmas everyone.
Let me ask you this(and I genuinely am curious), are you atheist or agnostic because you believe there is no evidence for a God, or is it because you still have questions ABOUT God that have yet to be answered?
@@NaturalHabitat._show Being agnostic essentially means this, We accept the fact that we do not know why we exist, unlike an atheist who doesn't believe in any religion, an agnostic individual believes that any of the religions or theories that explain why we exist could be ture or not, So I believe that God could be real but he also could not, it's basically a belief of any of it could be ture and possible or not 50/50 chance, also incase you ask no I personally would not want to be a christian was already kinda forced into a Baptist cult when I was younger but now I'm out of that situation but had alot of bad experience with the worst aspects of the religion, please don't take offense every religion has their bad sides
@@laughingskull4362 ok that makes sense, also I’m not offended at all that you stopped following Jesus Christ because God gave u a free will and I would be a fool if I were to be mad about what you decide to do in life, all I can do is tell you the truth with love and pray. God will not FORCE u to love him so neither should I or anyone else. No one likes to do anything against their will. From the age of 4 to 9 I was Forced to go to church, I hated it and had no interest in it at all. But later in life after deep studying and soul searching I found Jesus Christ and accepted him willingly with gladness, I encourage u to consider joining the family of Jesus Christ☺️🙏🏼
@@NaturalHabitat._show all good and thank you for being civil, unfortunately I have to say no on joining God, my life has led me with the views of that I have now and I will probably never view an all powerful God in a good light and if I go to hell for that oh well I personally don't like the concept of hell or heaven and if christianity is true then what I personally would want is for God to make me cease to exist for I do not want to exist in a world with an omniscient God, it just comes with the territory of people who've had bad experiences but thank you for being civil alot of Christians would have just insulated me.
One day people will realize that people have opinions that other disagree with, opinions that experiences in their life have led them to. The interviewer’s “conversation” technique is too superficial, and how he says people should come to faith (based on his chosen methodology) bears little to no resemblance wrt to how most people come to faith. When he says “I don’t want to manipulate you”, I’m not sure how truthful he is being.
He’s not forcing him to eat it, he’s just brought him the food. The guy in the the video can reject what the interviewer is saying. The guy has a choice to accept it or reject it.
@@anewcreation4667 It’s never an obligation for anyone to buy into someone else’s manipulative tactics. Not even when people get sold something they didn’t want, believe a story someone made up, or marry someone who operates under false pretenses. It’s not a valid defense for someone who is pretending not to manipulate.
@@clausjuergenwalde7251, I truly get what your saying. Manipulation isn’t good.. I feel like Ray sometimes does try to twist people, once again the guy has a choice to walk away, Ray didn’t hold him hostage. The guy gave him a chance and listen. If he accept or not that’s on him. Not trying to “win” anything here, just my thoughts.
@@anewcreation4667 Instead of blaming others for not walking away when someone is trying to pull one over, how about calling out people who use deceptive methods? Your line of reasoning allows them to keep going while and puts the blame for not avoiding them on those that are SUPPOSED to be open to listen. My criticism was specifically against Ray Comfort’s really bad logic and emotional blackmail through which he attempts to put others in a no win position by twisting an argument, just so they decide what Ray wants them to decide. It’s not just sometimes, his whole method consists exclusively on this, and he’s built a following on this. Don’t sweep this under the rug. If what Ray Comfort believes is really true, he himself is a liar, and needs to repent. But that’s not the way he’s selling his method. He’s comfortable pointing the finger at everyone else.
@@anewcreation4667 I’ve explained what I think is deplorable of his method in detail in a separate comment. Feel free to respond to it, if you’d like to.
No, that's absolutely false. Please be careful not to be led down that path of relativism, which creates total and utter confusion. God's truth is absolute, as are many things that have been established in our existence.
@The Fool , the question above is asking is it true that there really is no truth? My response is, no that is absolutely false. That is, there is absolute truth. I'm not sure that was how you read it, based on your response.
@@johnboehmer6683 I think the original person who posted was being sarcastic. He said "well... is that true" because the claim that there is no truth itself, was a truth claim.
You cut him off at the beginning when you asked the question about a building must have a builder. We can deduce that an unnatural structure with specific characteristics exists because they do not exist naturally. We won't be finding unnatural structures on planets that had life capable of creating them.
Wow, what a human being moment I had just now thx to Matt. It is so complex, we are so small in universe. Nothing wrong with admitting that. That end of day creating a happier, peaceful, giving life for those around you bc you hv complete need desire to.. Thats really what its all about.
This man's views are perfect... I am now confidently say I am agnostic. 👍 I cameraman judging others by saying you are in big trouble made me loose more on religion.
@lewiss1100 Exactly. This guy is saying "he's almost there" as though getting there is something he can do on his own. And, you're right, a person is either there, or not there.
Sometimes people who claim to be there, forget that you were him at one point in time. Pray for the lost sheep, and also those who are in the faith to be strengthened by the spirit. Yahshua also died for barabbas. He is my rock my salvation
The King of Kings said, these people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 1 Peter 5:5 English 5 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Ephesians 4:29 29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. Romans 15 whole chapter
Good. i hope so! it is easy to pray for and love those who are likeable and who love you back in return; but Jesus Christ commanded us to be like our Father who is in heaven who sends rain on the just and the unjust alike and who causes his sun to shine on the just and the unjust alike for God is kind to the unthankful and unholy....God commands us to love our enemies and do good to them and pray for them expecting nothing in return; Be a giver not a taker! why? because God is an unconditional lover and giver while satan is a selfish conditional taker!
if you have a sharp spiritual discernment you can see that this guys heart is hard as a rock and he is set against God trusting in himself and his own "goodness" of which he has none! this man is lost and spiritually blind and dead who justifies himself before men but God knows his heart for that which he highly esteems in the sight of sinful men is an abomination before God...this man is a relational idolater who worships and serves the creature rather than the creator! Jesus Christ said; "unless you hate your father and mother and your wife and children and even your own life you CANNOT be my disciple"....Luke chapter 14 nkjv
perhaps people like Ray arent aware of how arrogant, patronizing and self righteous they come across when claiming thry hold the only truth and know what will expect us at the end of this journey. Im way more open to people who love the questions about our place in this cosmic wonder and look at it with awe and humility rather than going unto the streets trying to convince strangers that they will burn in hell if they dont buy into their dogmatic beliefs
The ultimate ultimatum. Either believe like I do or be punished by God who loves you. “There may be more wisdom and courage as well as more faith in honest doubt than in most of the creeds." ~Morris Raphael Cohen
The reason it is shared in such a way, is because men are blind to their own wickedness, and when you show them the moral law (10 commandments) it shines the light upon their conscience. You can reject such a light, and think your understanding is better than God's word, but we don't say this to condemn people, we show them this to show that God has a disdain for such actions as we already know to be wrong, and will punish them for wilfully committing those evils, because He is a just God. His love is sure, and that's why we have the chance to repent, and trust in the Savior He sent to us. The love that God puts in our hearts (amongst those who really know God) compels us to share the bad news we had to hear to be converted before we can share the good news. Does that make sense?
I don't think so I'm an agnostic like him theres no proof yet that's the truth other than what jesus said so like the quran says there is their hell thats why I'm an agnostic theres alot of gods and there's no other documents on jesus yet I researched? What about hell heaven was it copied in christianity back in the Egyptians?
@@patrickcolvin3043 Are you looking for "Non-Christian" historical documents about Jesus? There are in fact Jewish, Roman and Greek writings about Jesus and his disciples. One of the things revealed in those writings is that Jesus' deciples were beaten, tortured and killed for claiming to have personally seen a resurrected Jesus. Would you die for a lie that you made up? Nope. They must have been telling the truth. Watch "Dr. Craig Blomburg lists the extra-biblical sources that talk about Jesus." on UA-cam ua-cam.com/video/9vTOMsz65vo/v-deo.html When it comes to the similarities between Christianity and other world religions... Does a counterfeit disprove the authentic? Nope. Do differing opinions mean objective truth can't be found? Nope. We need to follow the evidence until we can prove (beyond any reasonable doubt) what is authentic and what is counterfeit. By the way, the idea that Christianity copied ideas from other gods has been debunked. Serious atheist debaters don't use that argument anymore. Watch "Horus Ruins Christmas" on UA-cam ua-cam.com/video/s0-EgjUhRqA/v-deo.html
He most certainly will be saved, he has a stubborn spirit but he thirsts for truth, and has wisdom that clearly satan could not blind because its been given. It's only a matter of time, notice he was thinking of death a lot last week. Praise Jesus
hi is right .. we can talk all day but in the end, we don't know anything... and everybody who says that he knows something 100% is a very bad human.. sorry for my English
The interviewer has heard everything this man has said before and this isn’t one of his debate videos, he’s just trying to give this guy info on how to get to heaven if Jesus is real which is to him is more beneficial than another debate of who is more intellectual and caring.
The interviewer was not able to comprehend what the agnostic dude was trying to say. It’s like he didn’t even listen to his answers, and just read off a script. The same lines he uses in any other of these videos. The interviewee was the only one with any sort of brain activity going on.
Nobody misunderstand me, please. I have watched almost all of Ray’s videos & I have to ask...is there any hope for California? Surely there must be some Christians there. I understand these are evangelism videos meant to teach & testify, but these folks really concern me!
Depends. Hebrews states, “It is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.” So it seems that stony ground believers who fall away into unbelief/rejection of Christ cannot be renewed to repentance, but are lost reprobates, sadly.
Debbie Thompson- Are you sharing Christ daily? Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. John:21:21, 22 Focus on the mission, God will reach His sheep in California. If you're concerned, go yourself.
I don’t like bringing politics up but California is a very liberal state. The billy Graham evangelical team just toured that area recently knowing there are many hardened hearts there. I hope it changes but I don’t think it ever will but only God can make a change so hopefully I am wrong.

I can KNOW a building was built by a builder because there are numerous ways to PROVE it. I would have to believe that anything else constructed it. Such a messed up statement.
I'm an agnostic, I experience afterlife and it has not change my viewpoint. ( No conclusion.... Humans must continue seeking knowledge. Concluding is limitation....)
@@TheDisgruntledIdealist probably. But if I had a near death experience and was able to experience the afterlife, imo that would be something I'd love to share. Although I guess not many people would believe you lol.
I hate it when they use the "Well a building has a builder" argument. Yes, I can physically see and touch a building and nobody will dispute that building existence.
A building has a builder. Just like how Creation has a creator. You can see creation, Can’t you? Even if you don’t see the builder, you see the building. That is proof enough that there was a builder. Creation is proof that there was a Creator. God is real. And I really pray that you’ll get to experience him one day.
@@rebecca5334 I was raised in a Christian home, played on the worship team, was apart of a youth group for 13 years, and did missionary work across the country. I've experienced people doing good deeds and meaning well. That's all it is.
@@rebecca5334 Nope. You believe a building was built because you have seen literally many times it been built. So if you stumbled on one you know it was built. But have you witnessed a creator creating a universe before?
Hey man, I've been there. Do this and you will find truth: go before God HUMBLY, and pray for wisdom and understanding. "Seek and you will find." Remember that, ask God that you would see him in all things; don't test him, don't say, "I'll believe in you if..." That is testing God, and Jesus said, "You shall not put the Lord God to the test." Don't let anything stop you from coming to God because it's our only hope.
@@LastBastianGod doesn't require blind faith. Christianity is not just for gullible people. It is not for unintelligent people and children. You don't have to simply believe, in fact I challenge you to go and look at the historical validity of the bible and it's claims. That is what helped me to firmly believe that what God says in his word is true.
@@LastBastian I choose to believe the Bible because it is a reliable collection of historical documents written down by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They reported supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies and claimed that their writings are divine rather than human in origin. If you really want to find out the truth and your problem with Christianity is genuinely an intellectual one, I would recommend a book called by Josh McDowell. I read it as a Christian and I remember wishing that I had read it before I started followed Jesus. Best of luck in your search; the Bible says "seek and you shall find." I've found this to be very true. Have a blessed day.
“You are a lying thieving“… That is very different then “you have lied, you have stolen“ saying that is what defines you and that is how you live your life that is how you operate and every single interaction and action. Such a trite trope
A real harsh reality to accept about yourself aye? How about this: take one day and examine the motive behind every action you take. Simply ask God (even if you dont currently believe) to show you your heart with unbiased eyes. If you could but see it every day, you would see the wickedness of your own heart and ask God for a way to wash it clean. And he would show you his son Jesus who died for that cause.
The interviewers' analogies are not good ones. In the case of the building, belief doesn't enter into it. You can see it, touch it, and even go inside of it. By definition, it is real.
Man oh man... Ray out here doing what Gods gonna do when he returns.... Cut through people excuses like a sword, which is by the word. It is written jesus will have a sword in his mouth and eyes of fire and i believe that exactly what the "sword in the mouth" reference means, to cut through people lies and excesses... We are all wicked!! Im wretched!!!!!!!!
Yup!!!! Amen. There will be NO Playing games... He wont be some cute lil lamb, some push-over that men can take advantage of... NO spitting in His face when He Returns and He Wont be all lovey-dovey either.
@Poetiks Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 2 Peter 3:3-4 KJV He is coming. It is not for you to know the time or the season.
Religion is all about sales. Think about it, over 4000 recognised religions and YOURS is the right one. On top of that, you tend to be in a religion simply due to geographical locations you were born.
Correct Marco. Our opinions are corrupt at best. There is only one truth. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
My biggest frustrations with this channel is that the reporter uses the same questions...the same arguments..every time. like he’s closed out to the possibility of challenging something different.
I try to be kind and open to religious people I myself am a ''Agnostic-Spiritualist'' NO ONE IS GOD or a god so no one has a right to really pass judgement on someone's beliefs.. This man is a good man he is intelligent honest and is like all of you a human being. Be understanding and open you can learn a lot from not saying a world and just listening and viewing life around you. ''COMMON SENSE'' is real! -Much love to you all!
Bat-Erdene Altankhuyag Soften Your Heart my friend turn away from Evil and ask Jesus to Forgive your sins and confess him as your only Lord and Savior.
Bat-Erdene Altankhuyag “The Christian still sins but cannot remain in sin meaning doesn’t want to sin now that He knows who God is.” This is how important Jesus is. “Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also.” 1 John 2:22-23 ESV
Hello Living Waters, in the beginning, I really liked your Videos and Interviews. But after a Couple of days watching, I realized, that you always tell the same stories. Most of the time, you dont even bother to listen to the arguments and thinkings from a different perspective. Is that really a good way to bring agnostics to God?
Outstanding again. You are such a blessed man to be able to deliver the gospel in such a way. I wish you were my next-door neighbor I would be in study with you daily and I would ask in prayer for this gift daily. To be able to talk with people on that level about our Lord and Savior Jesus. You are blessed and you bless all of us with these videos❣️
the obliviousness of the interviewer posting these videos with people who don't reason from the bible yet him bible thumping to make his points is honestly, enraging. agnostics/atheists: WE DONT BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE, interviewer: aillrighty, mate looky heee at this heee bible verse heee, like bro no.
Interesting that the answer to the building analogy was skipped. We know a building has a builder because of precedence--never have we seen a building that hasn't come from a conscious entity. Shows me precedence for a god, and then we can discuss. PS Agnosticism and atheism aren't mutually exclusive. You can be agnostic and also a theist or an atheist. And you can only be an atheist or a theist, no middle ground. To the question "do you believe in a god?", if you answer yes, you're a theist. Every other answer is an atheist.
You all are missing the point. Just like how a worm cannot comprehend the sun, we cannot comprehend God. It doesn't matter that we are not worms, it is an analogy.
What refreshing honesty! When I was searching to find God I got the best advice of my life: *Ask God how He wants you to worship Him* That's when the right things started happening. The right people came into my life at the right times with the right answers like it was orchestrated (it was). When I share the Gospel I often ask them to do the same, it's a powerful prayer!
I really liked the agnostic guy I also identify myself as agnostic, because I don't want to say I'd know something I don't. Sometimes it makes me sad when people don't accept my opinion, because I don't have a problem with them believing in God. Why do they have a problem with me not wanting to believe? Isn't it my life and my choice?
Problem with religious ppl especially religious extremists is that they force ther ideologies & beliefs on others, will discriminate if you're not 1 of them & does everything (especially crazy things & claims) in the name of God & religion.
1:15 that was one of the biggest straw men arguments I’ve ever heard. The difference is we see other buildings get built by builders, so we definitely know that builders build buildings. If we saw god create a living being in front of our eyes daily the same way we see a builder build a building then we can definitely say god created the universe.
He is a very respectful guy! Although I think it is really interesting that he started out by saying his worldview was agnosticism, but he at least played along and let Ray share the message to him, and they had a very peaceful dialogue.
Super honest guy ...he’s done a lot of thinking in his life🤔
I have had the same ideology but my truth is that God convicts me which in turn is his love for me in a real personal way, like a son to a father. The human experience is more than thought of the experience happening but the control we actually have over our life to give it to God or let our “goodness” control us. Whats better God or goodness? The word according to merriam webster goodness says to be in a state of good. The word state means to be in a condition; conditional goodness would be horrible if everybody’s definition of good was ultimately good. Good is not a feeling of it but the SUSTAINED state of goodness which comes through God; found through our acceptance of what Jesus Christ did;and repentance for our aforementioned belief that our goodness is good enough. Every religion says there good but what’s good about a self proclaimed goodness it does no profit for people to believe in a conditional good when literally anything can be conditioned to be good
just like bad kids when a guest comes over the house. You still love your kid but the parent is the moral provider for the family not the kids idea of being a “good boy” “girl”. We fool ourself believing empty logic. We’re smarter than we give off we just think people don’t catch on.
But where has it got him??? Nowhere. Messengers of God came with truth and strove hard. It is a shame to see their teachings going in vain.
Super honest but still dumb not to accept Jesus Christ.
@@zednes2065 open minedness. Where has your belief gotten you. Has it gotten you hope. Not all people need beliefs for hope so no, has it gotten you a place in heaven, if that all you strive gor whats the point in living this life at all, has it gotten you character?

Well, you don't deny God outright. I'll commend you for that.
If you genuinely want to know God then all it takes Is a little humility (as that's what God is looking for)
Open up the word, (bible) and say (with a genuine heart) "I'm not totally sure if you exist, if you do, I'm here to learn who, and what you are. Please show me" He will never turn away an honest, humble person. Never.

@@Anndrew154 It's really just the way the guy says certain things like his statement about the building, the reason why I know the building exists is because it was made by a human that's common sense, the entire universe is a whole extraordinarily different then a building, the earth is less then a speck of dust compared to the universe, hell we barely even know what's at the bottom of our own oceans so to me the process is kinda annoying to just attempt to simply compare the entire universe to a Building, combine that with the fact that he comes of as really pushy with his beliefs and the way he talks to people in a similar way to children makes him have this holier-than-thou attitude it just kinda results in more people being pushed away by the guy, I personally believe that everyone is allowed to believe in whatever they want to believe in as long as they are not hurting anyone in the process, and as someone who was kinda forced into a Baptist cult it kinda messed me up as a child but I'm no longer in that situation anymore but my views are still a bit soured on alot of things with Christianity but I try to stay civil and fair in these things everyone is allowed their own beliefs, my personal beliefs are that any of the reasons why we exist could be possible and it could also not be possible, I accept the fact that I as a simple human do not know why anything exists and as such I'm not going to make the claim that I know the unknowable
Not at all. He knows truth and sharing with no deviation from Gods truth and law.

The endless patience from constantly having his basic integrity slandered by this dim witted reporter is inspiring.
How is Ray dim witted? Just because you don't agree with him? Do you just insult people you don't agree with?

I have a relationship with God, I’ve never seen God but his presence and Holy Spirit within me is so powerful you can’t escape it even if you wanted to. The love and peace and joy I get from getting closer to God and helping others in prayer is like nothing else. When Jesus ascended up to heaven after he resurrected, He left his spirit here for us, so that we can have encounters with Him and have a relationship. I’ve had countless times where God would tell me in my heart to go pray for that person and I would, then they’d start weeping because God touched there heart right there. I believe it’s the truth because He saved me from drug addictions, Lust, and a lot of immoral things, and I look forward to go to heaven, because I know too much about what this life really is supposed to be about.

The interviewer is so close minded, he is not trying to listen he is trying to convince. I am agnostic and this guy being interviewed was so patient. Great responses!
He's telling the man the truth. Either Jesus was a liar and the God of the Bible is not real, or he was telling the truth. And based on the eyewitness in the Scriptures, it is hard to believe that they would sacrifice their own lives for spreading the truth of they thought all of it was a lie. The best thing to do is open up the Bible and read the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke and decide if it is truth for yourself.
@@TheTruthUnchained governments have always had control over historical writings and information in general which is why we only know pieces of the truth.

task master Correct me if I’m wrong but a lot of Christians don’t just believe God because of “faith.” They believe God becuase he has showed himslef to us and showed us the truth. We don’t believe we know. God bless

Wow! I really appreciate Matt's sincerity. He really does want to do good. The issue is that "None is righteous..." Romans 3:10-12
"No not one"......
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

You lose the sincerity when you become a Christian because you inevitably run into BS.

Nee Laa, lots of us did...but it is possible to be hopelessly lost and not "feel" it. You think you know where you are...where your goin'... then one day God opens your eyes.
Sometimes its not sudden..its a series of events that He puts in your path all intended to tell you something about who He is and who you really are and you know like you know like you know you better not ignore it.
I pray He shows Himself to you in an unmistakable way...could be some odd dream ..or chance meetings...a word...or maybe all of them combined but its to let you know Jesus is the answer. Open the door of your heart and let Him in. He's not there to rob you...He's there to give you something your soul is screaming for that this world cannot give you. Just think about it please.
So long Nee Laa.

@I'm 5 when someone puts their trust and faith in Jesus their salvation is a fact - not a "feeling".
You say "nothing happened" after you prayed. But I have no way of knowing what you prayed...or what you prayed to "happen".
Can you share a bit about your life and what lead you to pray?
@I'm 5 don't take this wrong I'm 5 because I don't intend it to be a slam in any way. We need to discuss this and its difficult to do here in a YT comment section and not face to face as I wish it to be. I don't know the details and assuming things can take us way off course.
What I hear you saying is you speak of christianity like its some kind of club a person joins..or a pill you swallow..and when you say your prayer just right with some religious sounding words God appears.."things" begin to happen...and this somehow verifies what you've done and validates "Christianity". It does neither.
Religion is mans way to reach God.
Christianity is God's way to reach man.
Christianity is a relationship with God. Sometimes that relationship does start off in unmistakable and physical ways that the person experiences but more often than not "nothing" happens - at least nothing in the way of physical manifestations.
Write this down on a sticky note and place it where it can serve to remind you that your salvation thru the death and resurrection of Jesus is a "FACT" not a "FEELING".
You want physical "feelings" to go with your physical prayers but your salvation is spiritual. You're waiting for something to happen to your physical mind and body..but your physical mind and body is not what Jesus came to save. He came to save your soul which the bible tells us was d-e-a-d. It was never "alive". Jesus said it needed to be born again. Only He can provide that.
A new body comes later but for now He promises that your name will be written in the Lambs book of LIFE. He promises once this physical life is over you will join Him in heaven.
If His actions on that cross and words of promise towards you are not enough proof for you then what would be? A new car? A bag of cash? A big screen tv? Fame & fortune?
There were people who witnessed Jesus' miracles..looked directly into His eyes...ate the fish and bread He provided...saw blind people get their vision...heal the deaf..take leprosy away..raise a dead man....and just a few months later scream out - CRUCIFY HIM!
Why? Because when He didn't do another miracle or give them the "feeling" they wanted they had no more use for Him. They called Him a fraud. A liar. And they turned their backs on Him.
Are you one of those people?
You prayed the prayer and said the words but a relationship that lasts thru an etetnity deserves more than the 5 minutes you gave Him. No?
@I'm 5 ok..the joke was on me. I believed you were serious ..and I reached out. You got me.
But you won't punk God. And when you're standing alone before Him at the Great White Throne of Judgement giving an account of your life.. it will be too late to get serious.
Be prepared to hear the words "depart from me..I never knew you". I cannot think of anything more terrifying than to hear those words.. and I didn't want you to face that.
So long and take care.

Plz dont talk about my christian sisters and brothers like that
agnosticism isn't a religion... a means not and gnostic means knowledge or knowing... so not knowing. But you can't JUST be agnostic. If someone asks you do you believe in God? and you say "I don't know". Thats not answering the question. If you say "I don't believe in one but there could be" then you'd be an agnostic atheist. If on the other hand you say "I know for a fact there is NOT a god you'd be a gnostic atheist". The same goes for theism. A gnostic theist is certain of gods existence. And an agnostic theist simply believes but isnt certain.
I think many people that refer to themselves as agnostic either don't know what it really means or have a hard time calling themselves atheist. A lot of people think it's a philosophy or religion But it's simply not believing in a god. No more no less.
I appreciate Matt’s openness, patience, and willingness to engage! Great convo.
"..When you look at those buildings isn't it apparent they have a designer?"
Yes it is! But, can you figure out the architects name by looking at the buildings he designed? Nope! So, acknowledging that life is miraculous and probably had a designer.. Easy, sure! But what's his/her/it's name? No idea! People have been presuming that for thousands of years!
Hi friend, if you don't mind me asking, is it that you believe in God but because of the many different religions, you are unsure which is the right God?
@@racpatrice Exactly! I'm pretty certain there's a source/God/Gods behind the existence of life. A "God of humans" or "God of life" maybe even a "God of all things". I believe the information necessary to build our intelligent existence (DNA) could not have randomly occured from nowhere. A book doesn't write itself, as they say.
I come from a Christian background and like/prefer the idea that Jesus is God because I think he'd make a good God. I like his story, the story of hope and victory (at least for a few). I don't mind "Hell" so much, but I did have to get over being angry about a God's potential condemnation. If he/she/it/they (i will just use he/his from now on for sake of ease and tradition) is our god, how can we argue with his reality? Its futile, so, we should just accept our God whether he is a loving father, or a vicious hungry ball of tentacles.
Yes, plurality caused my division with my first belief system (Christianity). Though I sought to "disprove" Christianity, I never could. Scientific problems in the bible (like noah's ark and the age of creation to name just a few) began as issues, but fell away. I accepted the power of the potential metaphor of things like that in the bible. I could still see the potential legitmacy of Jesus as God through those potential "errors" (for lack of a better term). But still the silence stoked the fires of my doubt. Our God is a quiet God. Maybe he's asleep, or somehow disconnected, or on vacation, or too mighty to show himself because he may rip reality apart. Haha, whatever the case he's quiet, and so all we have to confirm his actual identity is faith.
Our God gave us our physical senses to discern truth. Why then would we need to ignore them or bypass them to discern the truth of God? I understand I'm just a man and that my evaluation or estimation of what a God should be or do is probably fundemntally flawed. But still, it's all that I am and the best I can do. Everything I've ever learned has been with these senses "God" gave me. And, though we all detect that "inner sense" or "spiritual sense" (sixth sense if you will) that's never been used to verify truth. It's too.. Personal.. We've all seen people believe anything they want using that "spiritual sense". There's just no way to objectively identify that senses data as "truth".
What I am left with then is to believe whatever makes me feel comfortable because God himself isn't verifiable. For now I still pray to Jesus/YHWH/creator of humaity because I don't know who else to pray to other than "God". But, that's not a name it's a title, and it's fairly young in its implementation so, I feel it dosent actually address the "person" of God. My prayers are always a little appologetic, in acknowledgment of the fact that I may be missnaming our God. But, he never corrects me.. Lol.. All in all, I feel like it's dishonest to declare myself a Christian. I wouldn't reccomened the religion to anyone else in my current condition, and I certainly don't practice it in any significant way.
If I end up in a place like Hell I sincerly hope that I will respect our gods decision to place me there and that he will at least acknowledge that I lived by what I knew was true. Even if it costs me an eternity of suffering..
@@therealblackout3659 Hi, the fact that you are here on Ray's videos tells me that deep down you are searching for truth. Living Waters has a video called "scientific facts from the bible", so this should help you where believing the authenticity of the God of the Bible goes. I understand your confusion, though I have never doubted that God (Yahweh) was ever the real God, I have in the past (when I was backslidden) questioned why there was so much pain and suffering if God loves us so much and why we would go to hell for eternity if we don't do things His way.
I'll tell you a testimony of mine to help you see why I never doubted the God of the bible as the true God.:
When I was 14 years old, i used to pray alot. I would always pray everytime my parents left the house, asking God to protect them etc. One day, my father left home to hang out with some friends and God spoke to me AUDIBLY and TOLD ME TO PRAY. I knew immediately He meant for me to pray for my father. It turns out, that same night, my father got into a really bad car accident and should have died (he said so himself) but walked out without any injuries. 🙏🙌. Praises be to God and the power of prayer. I have many testimonies but I decided to share that one with you to show you, yes the God of the bible speaks and is the real God. He doesn't always speak audibly but He does speak. Most often through His Word and through the Holy Spirit.
Christianity is a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We must be Born-Again by the Spirit of God, repent of our sins and have a supernaturally changed life through the help of the bible and the Holy Spirit. Because of our relationship with God through the born again experience, we no longer have the desire to sin because God gives us a new nature which seeks to please Him. I suspect that what you were introduced to was religion and not true Christianity.
Here are a couple books that can help you on your search for truth:
1. "The Case for Christ" - Lee Strobel
2. "What really is Christianity?"- Austin Debourg
They are both available on Amazon & Amazon Kindle
I hope this helps. God truly does love you dear one. The bible teaches us if we seek, we shall find..Ask God the next time you pray, to reveal truth to you.
@@racpatrice Thank you sincerely. I'm touched by your concern. I'm familiar with Stroble and love his work. I'm also a big fan of (some of these may be misspelled) Ravi Zacharias, Chuck Missler, and Kent Hovind. Poor Kent got busted for tax evasion, but I still think he's an ok resource for would-be Christians. I've dabbled in Christian history touching on authors like (again forgive my spelling) Kikergaard, C.S. Lewis, and Kant. I've read the entire bible once and the gospels a few times, at least three. I spent a decade of my life scouring Christianity in both theological and heretical studies. I try to stay "open" but having no foundation will make you crazy, so over time some ideals become entrenched.
He spoke to you. That's something awesome, he's never spoken to me. He seems to have answered my prayers, and praying makes me feel better. It feels good to pray, that's why I still do it. I "feel" like he's listening.. That's all I can say. Yet, I also spent several years not praying and everything worked out just the same.Everything changed though when I realized something one day. Would God speaking to me, audibly speaking to me, be enough? If not. What level of miracle would it require for me to instantly believe and follow with everything? I realized that no miracle would be sufficient because my rational mind would always seek to fit it into the rules of reality. I would literally talk myself out of believing this thing, whatever it was. It was then I realized what a pickle I was in.
Afterward I began to pray to him to make me believe. I gave him permission to change me, to erase what was blocking my belief. That went on for a few years, but alas, earwax (as dumbledor would say).
So, I sought to believe through philosophical and scientific cross examination. Historical evidence, one of my favorites is this dude that does a "cold case" study of Christianity. That one was great. I found all the reasons why everyone else throughout history believed, and none of them seemed to apply to me. Lol. Brutal.
So, I decided the best course of action was to be honest with myself and everyone else. To be brave enough to stare down the gates of Hell for the truth. And finally, hope that the God of truth would honor me for that.
I'm more impressed by your concern than your advice. I always appreciate meeting someone who tries to walk the walk. Never give up on it. My fiance is a true believer. She says she can't not believe, and, I love that. I feel like true Christians can make this world a better place. The current church is kinda.. Lost though.. Can't say they are too impressive right now. But, if the bible is the truth, it will all work out in the end! Right? Hehe.
@@therealblackout3659 I'm so happy that my testimony inspired you and yes I am concerned for you because I know how much God loves you 😊. Please read the books I mentioned. "What really is Christianity" is excellent and simple to grasp. The next time you are ready to read the bible ask God to help you and speak to you through His Word. 🤗

One day people will realize that people have opinions that other disagree with, opinions that experiences in their life have led them to. The interviewer’s “conversation” technique is too superficial, and how he says people should come to faith (based on his chosen methodology) bears little to no resemblance wrt to how most people come to faith.
When he says “I don’t want to manipulate you”, I’m not sure how truthful he is being.
He’s not forcing him to eat it, he’s just brought him the food. The guy in the the video can reject what the interviewer is saying. The guy has a choice to accept it or reject it.
@@anewcreation4667 It’s never an obligation for anyone to buy into someone else’s manipulative tactics. Not even when people get sold something they didn’t want, believe a story someone made up, or marry someone who operates under false pretenses.
It’s not a valid defense for someone who is pretending not to manipulate.
@@clausjuergenwalde7251, I truly get what your saying. Manipulation isn’t good.. I feel like Ray sometimes does try to twist people, once again the guy has a choice to walk away, Ray didn’t hold him hostage. The guy gave him a chance and listen. If he accept or not that’s on him. Not trying to “win” anything here, just my thoughts.
@@anewcreation4667 Instead of blaming others for not walking away when someone is trying to pull one over, how about calling out people who use deceptive methods? Your line of reasoning allows them to keep going while and puts the blame for not avoiding them on those that are SUPPOSED to be open to listen.
My criticism was specifically against Ray Comfort’s really bad logic and emotional blackmail through which he attempts to put others in a no win position by twisting an argument, just so they decide what Ray wants them to decide. It’s not just sometimes, his whole method consists exclusively on this, and he’s built a following on this. Don’t sweep this under the rug. If what Ray Comfort believes is really true, he himself is a liar, and needs to repent. But that’s not the way he’s selling his method. He’s comfortable pointing the finger at everyone else.
@@anewcreation4667 I’ve explained what I think is deplorable of his method in detail in a separate comment. Feel free to respond to it, if you’d like to.

"At the end of the day, There really is no truth"
Well...is that true?
Well, if there is no truth then there is right or wrong, good or evil, sin or righteousness.
No, that's absolutely false. Please be careful not to be led down that path of relativism, which creates total and utter confusion. God's truth is absolute, as are many things that have been established in our existence.
@The Fool , the question above is asking is it true that there really is no truth? My response is, no that is absolutely false. That is, there is absolute truth. I'm not sure that was how you read it, based on your response.
@@johnboehmer6683 I think the original person who posted was being sarcastic. He said "well... is that true" because the claim that there is no truth itself, was a truth claim.
In looking at it again, I'm pretty sure you're right Jessica. Good catch.
You cut him off at the beginning when you asked the question about a building must have a builder. We can deduce that an unnatural structure with specific characteristics exists because they do not exist naturally. We won't be finding unnatural structures on planets that had life capable of creating them.

The reason it is shared in such a way, is because men are blind to their own wickedness, and when you show them the moral law (10 commandments) it shines the light upon their conscience.
You can reject such a light, and think your understanding is better than God's word, but we don't say this to condemn people, we show them this to show that God has a disdain for such actions as we already know to be wrong, and will punish them for wilfully committing those evils, because He is a just God.
His love is sure, and that's why we have the chance to repent, and trust in the Savior He sent to us. The love that God puts in our hearts (amongst those who really know God) compels us to share the bad news we had to hear to be converted before we can share the good news.
Does that make sense?

What a classy guy. I hope he takes that conversation to heart.
Everything is false. That statement is a contradiction. So there must be a truth. God is truth. Jesus said: I am the way, the truth and the life.
If anyone ever says to you, "There is NO truth!"
Simply ask them, "Is THAT true???"
I don't think so I'm an agnostic like him theres no proof yet that's the truth other than what jesus said so like the quran says there is their hell thats why I'm an agnostic theres alot of gods and there's no other documents on jesus yet I researched? What about hell heaven was it copied in christianity back in the Egyptians?
@@patrickcolvin3043 Are you looking for "Non-Christian" historical documents about Jesus? There are in fact Jewish, Roman and Greek writings about Jesus and his disciples. One of the things revealed in those writings is that Jesus' deciples were beaten, tortured and killed for claiming to have personally seen a resurrected Jesus. Would you die for a lie that you made up? Nope. They must have been telling the truth.

When it comes to the similarities between Christianity and other world religions... Does a counterfeit disprove the authentic? Nope. Do differing opinions mean objective truth can't be found? Nope. We need to follow the evidence until we can prove (beyond any reasonable doubt) what is authentic and what is counterfeit.

The interviewer has heard everything this man has said before and this isn’t one of his debate videos, he’s just trying to give this guy info on how to get to heaven if Jesus is real which is to him is more beneficial than another debate of who is more intellectual and caring.
@@domcruise274 I see what you mean; that it wasn’t an argument.
EVERYTIME RAY ASKS " do you have a bible at home? " THEY SAY YES.
Jess marie sedgwick because they’ve read it and studied it and still don’t believe it’s the word of god.
Not always. I've seen ones where they don't eg Christmas gone viral.
The interviewer was not able to comprehend what the agnostic dude was trying to say. It’s like he didn’t even listen to his answers, and just read off a script. The same lines he uses in any other of these videos. The interviewee was the only one with any sort of brain activity going on.
Nobody misunderstand me, please. I have watched almost all of Ray’s videos & I have to ask...is there any hope for California? Surely there must be some Christians there. I understand these are evangelism videos meant to teach & testify, but these folks really concern me!
Depends. Hebrews states, “It is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.”
So it seems that stony ground believers who fall away into unbelief/rejection of Christ cannot be renewed to repentance, but are lost reprobates, sadly.
Read Jonah
Debbie Thompson- Are you sharing Christ daily? Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.

Focus on the mission, God will reach His sheep in California. If you're concerned, go yourself.
I don’t like bringing politics up but California is a very liberal state. The billy Graham evangelical team just toured that area recently knowing there are many hardened hearts there. I hope it changes but I don’t think it ever will but only God can make a change so hopefully I am wrong.

I don’t get why people are hating on this man. He’s spot on with what he says
I hate it when they use the "Well a building has a builder" argument. Yes, I can physically see and touch a building and nobody will dispute that building existence.
A building has a builder. Just like how Creation has a creator. You can see creation, Can’t you? Even if you don’t see the builder, you see the building. That is proof enough that there was a builder. Creation is proof that there was a Creator. God is real. And I really pray that you’ll get to experience him one day.

Hey man, I've been there. Do this and you will find truth: go before God HUMBLY, and pray for wisdom and understanding. "Seek and you will find." Remember that, ask God that you would see him in all things; don't test him, don't say, "I'll believe in you if..." That is testing God, and Jesus said, "You shall not put the Lord God to the test." Don't let anything stop you from coming to God because it's our only hope.

@@LastBastianGod doesn't require blind faith. Christianity is not just for gullible people. It is not for unintelligent people and children. You don't have to simply believe, in fact I challenge you to go and look at the historical validity of the bible and it's claims. That is what helped me to firmly believe that what God says in his word is true.
@@GaviFashbaugh I've looked and listened, but I find it all very unconvincing.
@@LastBastian I choose to believe the Bible because it is a reliable collection of historical documents written down by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They reported supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies and claimed that their writings are divine rather than human in origin. If you really want to find out the truth and your problem with Christianity is genuinely an intellectual one, I would recommend a book called by Josh McDowell. I read it as a Christian and I remember wishing that I had read it before I started followed Jesus. Best of luck in your search; the Bible says "seek and you shall find." I've found this to be very true. Have a blessed day.
Ray! You're doing such a tremendous job keep up the good work keeps
Now that's one of the most complex people I've ever seen you interview...
“You are a lying thieving“… That is very different then “you have lied, you have stolen“ saying that is what defines you and that is how you live your life that is how you operate and every single interaction and action. Such a trite trope
A real harsh reality to accept about yourself aye?
How about this: take one day and examine the motive behind every action you take. Simply ask God (even if you dont currently believe) to show you your heart with unbiased eyes.
If you could but see it every day, you would see the wickedness of your own heart and ask God for a way to wash it clean. And he would show you his son Jesus who died for that cause.
The interviewers' analogies are not good ones. In the case of the building, belief doesn't enter into it. You can see it, touch it, and even go inside of it. By definition, it is real.
Man oh man... Ray out here doing what Gods gonna do when he returns.... Cut through people excuses like a sword, which is by the word.
It is written jesus will have a sword in his mouth and eyes of fire and i believe that exactly what the "sword in the mouth" reference means, to cut through people lies and excesses... We are all wicked!! Im wretched!!!!!!!!

Correct Marco. Our opinions are corrupt at best. There is only one truth. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Hello Living Waters,
in the beginning, I really liked your Videos and Interviews.
But after a Couple of days watching, I realized, that you always tell the same stories. Most of the time, you dont even bother to listen to the arguments and thinkings from a different perspective.
Is that really a good way to bring agnostics to God?
As an agnostic I always say that we should believe in what we believe in, and let people believe in what they believe in…in peace.
This video is why I’m agnostic
The interviewer literally ignored what the guy was saying and proceeded to force his religion 🥴 that’s very cringe
Yeah 2 great guys having a respectful conversation. I enjoyed this
Outstanding again. You are such a blessed man to be able to deliver the gospel in such a way. I wish you were my next-door neighbor I would be in study with you daily and I would ask in prayer for this gift daily. To be able to talk with people on that level about our Lord and Savior Jesus. You are blessed and you bless all of us with these videos❣️
the obliviousness of the interviewer posting these videos with people who don't reason from the bible yet him bible thumping to make his points is honestly, enraging.
agnostics/atheists: WE DONT BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE,
interviewer: aillrighty, mate looky heee at this heee bible verse heee,
like bro no.
Interesting that the answer to the building analogy was skipped. We know a building has a builder because of precedence--never have we seen a building that hasn't come from a conscious entity. Shows me precedence for a god, and then we can discuss.
PS Agnosticism and atheism aren't mutually exclusive. You can be agnostic and also a theist or an atheist.
And you can only be an atheist or a theist, no middle ground. To the question "do you believe in a god?", if you answer yes, you're a theist. Every other answer is an atheist.
There is nothing like two intelligent people conversing , very refreshing.
There s just one man intelligent in that conversation
@Louis Juarez it’s 2
Where's the second intelligent person?
It's great getting an ending like that during evangelism!
Ray "But you're not a worm."
Cracked me up😂😂😂😂
😂
You all are missing the point. Just like how a worm cannot comprehend the sun, we cannot comprehend God. It doesn't matter that we are not worms, it is an analogy.
I knowww it’s like he can’t comprehend a simple analogy
What refreshing honesty! When I was searching to find God I got the best advice of my life: *Ask God how He wants you to worship Him* That's when the right things started happening. The right people came into my life at the right times with the right answers like it was orchestrated (it was). When I share the Gospel I often ask them to do the same, it's a powerful prayer!
I'd rather ask God why he wants me to worship him
God bless him for this work, planning seeds, planting seed
Loaded questions in this one
Great conversation! Good job Ray! Praying for him.
I really liked the agnostic guy
I also identify myself as agnostic, because I don't want to say I'd know something I don't.
Sometimes it makes me sad when people don't accept my opinion, because I don't have a problem with them believing in God. Why do they have a problem with me not wanting to believe?
Isn't it my life and my choice?
Yeah people should respect your right to your opinion
Problem with religious ppl especially religious extremists is that they force ther ideologies & beliefs on others, will discriminate if you're not 1 of them & does everything (especially crazy things & claims) in the name of God & religion.
1:15 that was one of the biggest straw men arguments I’ve ever heard. The difference is we see other buildings get built by builders, so we definitely know that builders build buildings. If we saw god create a living being in front of our eyes daily the same way we see a builder build a building then we can definitely say god created the universe.
He is a very respectful guy! Although I think it is really interesting that he started out by saying his worldview was agnosticism, but he at least played along and let Ray share the message to him, and they had a very peaceful dialogue.
