World: " I am born this way"
Jesus Christ : "You must be born again"
So true.
That is the best reply I have heard.
AMEN! That is for all of us!
No one is good. Our righteousness is like filthy rags.
Amen!!!

All 20 years of my life I've been attracted to guys, never to girls (and I am a guy). I never questioned my sexuality with my faith until God revealed Himself to me. Last December when I was at my lowest point, that was when Jesus found me in my brokenness. He pulled me from drowning and just comforted me and loved me. I felt lost all my life but Jesus found me. He mainly saved me from living that life, but He also saved me from many other things in my life like addiction and depression. Although my attractions to guys is still with me, it doesn't bother me. Yes, I may still struggle with my old life, but I don't allow it to define me. Jesus may take it away one day, or He may decide to leave it, but I no longer walk in it. I now walk with Jesus, no longer alone. I now know the truth, and that's only because Jesus showed it to me. I want my testimony in life to be hope for those part of the LGBT community who feel rejected by God to know that He has so much love and so many gifts waiting for you, it just needs to be revealed. Your attractions and your love from boyfriends/girlfriends are nothing compared to God's love and God's grace. Once you hand everything over to Him and give your life to Him, you are set free. Have faith, knock on His door and He will surely answer. All you need is faith the size of a seed.
Oh my gosh, Max!! What a beautiful testimony! How merciful of God to count us as His children! Thank you for sharing! Especially at this time as the world has gone so soulless 😭May you grow in God’s Grace and wisdom and be so ingrained in His Word that the schemes of satan will be thwarted by the scripture you hide in your heart! God bless you and God continue to bless Ray Comfort and Living Waters🙏🏻
A great testimony. The Lord strengthen, guide and protect you always 🙏
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for Bro Max right now. For opening his eyes to your everlasting love. I ask that you deliver him and set him free completely, just like you did me. Remove anything in his life that is not of you. Give him strength to walk this journey with you. Even when the enemy tries to come and tempt him, hide him under the Blood of Jesus Christ. Give him strength to endure to the end. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. God Bless.🙌🙏🤗
Amazing
My story is very similar to yours. I was a lesbian but turned away from that life almost 5 years ago and haven’t looked back. God is good..
Norman was so kind and respectful, a rare quality nowadays. Praying for Norman's change of heart towards Jesus
👍
Amen
Amen 🙏🏽
I love Norman. So sweet. Praying he gets right with God.
🙏🏼praying for Norman.
I am an ex homosexual man, former alcoholic, ex drug addict, was addicted to porn, anything immoral, anything addictive. I had no self worth, living self destructive. Now even through there are trials, there is a peace where before I only had shame and guilt. My sins were many but Christ has forgiven them all. If you struggle with sin, don’t give up. He will forgive and restore you.
Praise the Lord Dion for your deliverance. I too was once lost in Sin, but now Im found so I can relate. May God continue to be with us on this journey. Never look back!🙌🙏🤗
@@pampeeleshelton3401 Thank you! God bless!!
How is it wrong to be who you are
@@reality1958 being a drug attack is not someone who you are..
@@Madelin. well your choices make up who you are...but I agree abusing drugs is destructive and should be avoided.
But there is nothing wrong with being gay. You are attracted to who you are attracted to...its not a choice.
*Jesus didn't come to start a religion,He came to show us how to get home.*
Amen
Beautifully stated.
if he did not ,then why are there these religious denominations then with those different bible versions that cause division then? but yet jesus never identified with any of them.
@@TheBamaguy334 it’s satan working in men’s hearts to have multiple religions and different Bibles to twist God’s words and cause division. The devils objection is to steal, kill, and destroy! “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy..” John 10:10
Amen, He's the only way
Let's pray for this young man.
pray for norman wisdom
Praying for him and everyone on here that has been changed by the Power of God.🙌🙏
Already did!
Absolutely
Amen! Prayer is the only thing we can do.🙏
Ray talks to each person like a loving father teaching his child how to come to know Jesus. I think that is what makes him such a great evangelist.
Lord praying for more Ray comforts to be sent out in love. Amen
He’s a great example to Christians
Ray you the best god bless you ray Good job ready to spread the gospel good job Jesus says let everyone have ears to be here spreading the good news Ray that’s good I can’t wait to see you in heaven with our heavenly father God bless Ray
Ray Comfort is an answer to prayer. Something was MISSING in the church presentation of the gospel...USING the TEN COMMANDMENTS to bring the KNOWLEDGE of SIN so we would DISCOVER WHY we are SINNERS and WHY we NEED the SAVIOR. It's horrible that people die and go to hell because we THINK we're GOOD people when we're NOT good people.
ALL humanity is on ONE of those THREE CROSSES: 1. UNREPENTANT GUILTY SINNERS (who are DECEIVED and REMAIN in their sins until death and go to Hell), OR 2. REPENTANT GUILTY SINNERS (who are NOT DECEIVED but acknowledge their sins and throw themselves on the MERCY of the Court...asking Jesus to change them, RECEIVING THE LOVE OF THE TRUTH {to LOVE WHAT GOD LOVES}...and go to Heaven), OR 3. they are THE SACRIFICE (the perfect Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world...And that is WHY...ONLY GOD IS GOOD...and WHY the LORD JESUS CHRIST is WORTHY of our PRAISE). Only the Lord Jesus Christ met the requirements to be the sacrifice for our sins. Only God could accomplish that task and that is why only God is good. IF anything IS good in CHRISTIANS, it is the reflection of Jesus of Nazareth, our savior, IN US.
I agree. And it’s a conversation, not a “hell and brimstone if you don’t say the sinner’s prayer right away.” Ray is so tender towards others.
You know what I love about this? That precious man listened. He listened. God please bless him. Please enter his heart and do the beautiful work that only You can do.
Amen! Plz lord change his heart
@@randallkruse5012 LOL!
Yes Lord. Amen!
I sense a conviction in him. Oh Lord, please water the seed that has been planted in Norman’s heart. I pray, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
Amen!
Amen
Amen, in Jesus name 🙏
Amen!!!
Amen
What a sweet man. He was respectful and kind, even though the words hurt. I pray he finds his way to someone who can teach him more about Jesus. ❤
I can tell he was really receiving the Gospel.. lets all pray for him. His presence was so kind :)
Your interaction with Norman was beautiful, Ray. Thank you for being a living example of what a TRUE Christian looks like. You are kind, compassionate, full of grace and filled with love for ALL. Me and my young sons are learning from you. We are excited to receive our starter kit in the next few days. May God continue to bless you and your ministry! We will be praying for you.
Church people are some of the most hateful people towards Blacks and gays. Hating on gay people isn't gonna make your life any better. You degrade gays just like the Racists to us Blacks. Smh
Damian, hopefully you didn't watch the video. If you did, you just revealed what a blinded-by-hate liar you are. Ray was extremely kind to the homosexual man.
@@damianedwards2327, you are very mistaken in what you are saying. Ray was not hateful towards that young man. Ray simply pointed out that this young man needs to repent of all sins and follow God (the God of Israel) if he wishes to go to heaven. We are all sinners and need to be in constant communion with God to be call his child. We must obey all of God's laws in order to be accepted as one of his children. I suggest you listen to Ray too because no unrepented sinner enters the Kingdom of heaven.
@@FRN2013 I'm a Christ Follower.
But you're putting someone down because they are different from you. That is one of the most Hateful things you can do. You're not this minority you speak about, so you don't see your degradation of them as bad.
The racist ego of the church makes degrading others for differences seem FUN in away. It's called Acceptable Hate.
It's like people who are racist but don't Specifically say the N word.
Becuz The only way to know youre degrading a person...is to ASK them? But you Believe minorities are below you. So you'd never ask that.
@@damianedwards2327Damien, How did Ray put Norman down? What did Ray say or do that was a put down? You are making accusations, and pointing the finger, which Ray did not do.
I love when that young man said, “No, can you tell me?” He seemed genuinely interested in Christ like he was calling to it like Christ called to him.
Cool name, I agree good too see it❤
I’m a former member of LGBT in San Diego. Thankful to the Lord that I was freed from living a promiscuous life., thanks to the prayers of my mother who never gave up on me, nothing is impossible when God is in the equation. The seed was sewn in this young man’s heart that was interviewed by Pastor Ray Comfort., hopefully he will one day open his eyes and give his life to God. Please note that leaving the gay scene is so hard, since there are many addictions involved, only the power of God can transform someone like He did in my life. God bless you
Can you share your testimony please?
@@chayuttaweeskulchai179 hi Chayut, that’s a great idea. April 29th I will be sharing part of my testimony at my church, The Promise Church. I will add a link once I have it, God bless you 🙏🏼😊
@@A_Changed_Heart_Ministries Thank you very much
@Leafsio I have not, but I’d recommend you read, A Change of Affection by Beckett Cook., a former gay man who also gave his life to the Lord.
@Leafsio being in the gay community for fourteen years I saw many addictions to pornography, sex, drugs, alcoholism, and more. As far as monogamous relationships go, I did not see one in my fourteen years, there was always cheating and/or bringing in a third person whenever the relationship would start to lose it’s zeal. Even if the relationship was monogamous, would you want to lose your soul? This life is so short, eternity is forever!
How beautiful is this young man. God has a purpose for him! Let us pray he turns his life to Christ 🙏
Amen
God's grace, even available to homosexuals. Jesus thank you so much we truly are mind blown by your gracious acts and mercy! Praise Him
@@stonemaze9925 The only fool is who don't know there destiny and still just bluffing like they all know. Jesus loves you bro please repent, dont be like me hypocrite and a fool but i repented !
@@damianedwards2327 Not the sinner Christians hate its the SIN in people's lives we hate & knowing where that person will spend eternity if they don't repent & get saved. There is no black, white, brown, yellow we are ALL ONE RACE...THE HUMAN RACE! God loves us all & so do I as should all Christians.
AMEN
@@stonemaze9925 were you born in 1999? If so, learn to humbly listen intently without being malicious.
@@damianedwards2327 a lot do. And a lot of the others single out the gay community and hyper focus on it. It’s “saved by grace through faith” not “saved by grace through faith if you’re heterosexual.”
Your words touched his heart. You can tell. May the Lord water the seeds that have been planted and may they have fallen on God soil. ✝️🙏🏽❤️
I noticed that too.. you could see his wheels turning when confronted with the truth.. I pray that God will draw him unto Him..
Amen
Amen 🙏🏼💕
Saw it too. May the Lord give him a new heart and spirit.
@@stonemaze9925 Jesus loves you and wants to save you friend, Jesus is waiting for you to come to Him, He won't cast you away from Himself if you come to Him. He calls us all to repentance, He loves us and wants to save us. believe and have faith in God then the Holy Spirit will come in and lead you to repent of your sins and God will forgive you of your sins and cleanse you by the blood of Jesus and you'll get born again by His Holy Spirit and have His salvation, you will become a new creation (John 3:3-19). God bless
Im 44 years old. I have lived a gay lifestyle basically my entire adult life. I have always been attracted to men. My attraction started at a very young age. I remember thinking around 8 or younger I should have been a girl. I felt that way i could of had a boyfriend like the girls.I was raised in a christian home and was taught it was a sin. Fast forward- i grew up sleeping around with males starting in Middle School. I felt I was born gay and God didnt make mistakes even thou the bible says its a sin. The enemy had me very decieved. I ended up having many sexual encounters and relationships. At age 40 I got married to a men and we adopted 3 beatiful children. I found myself in bondage addicted to alcohol, weed, and porn to name a FEW. In March 2020 when covid turned the world upside down I found myself broken. I left lost, addicted to harmful self destructing things and hopeless. I called out to God in that broken place and He meet me right where i was at. He set me free from addiction, and a broken spirit. It was amazing. I love God so much ! He changed my life. He stepped in and mended my broken heart and filled the hole in my soul. Im now a new creaturein Christ. I know God is real. He has revealed Himself to me in different ways. I dont know I may have been born with a immoral sexual desire but March 2020 I was reborn. I thank the Lord everyday for my delivernce. My eyes were truly opened. Please pray that my ex gay partner whom I share children with eyes are opened in Jesus name. I love him still but just in a different way. He is still decieved but I pray very often that he sees th truth, the way, and the life that only Jesus can accomplish!
Amen!
Thanks for sharing!
God bless you. Praying.
Glory to Him. We all struggle with sexual sins, if we’re honest about it-stay in the Word.
God bless you! Praying for you to be an inspiration for others to turn to God!
Thanks for your amazing testimony of the grace and power of God!
I love how this guy is just listening so well. He’s also got a lot of humour but he’s receptive to learning. So good
He has a loving spirit and seems teachable. Praying for Christian’s to pour into his life and water the seed! Lord draw him in!
let’s be praying for Norman that God grows the seed on good soil 🥺🤍 He seems kind and humble hearted
Yess Amen 💚
Amen🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Everybody can be changed by the Lord. He’s limitless. May we exalt his name, and spread his love to all. Show what true love is in the name of Christ Jesus 🧡
I'm a perfect example of that.

Max. what a beautiful testimony!! I'm a straight woman, now 62, I struggled big time with promiscuity, drug addiction etc. God took those thing's away from me...thank you God!
I am happily married for 27 years. God can give us incredible strength to endure through anything if we let him. My oldest son died 4 1/2 years ago....it was the darkest moment that I have ever had to endure!! I didn't want to live anymore....the pain was so deep. God got me through the darkest moment in my life. I will always have moment's of sadness....but no longer want to die myself. God is good!! Stay strong in the Lord!!!
God bless you Jackie! Ray Comfort
You need a divorce cuz your religious 😂
@@cabbageboi6365 Not religious!
@@LivingWaters Thank you! You as well!!
@@LivingWaters Get it through your head, Ray! Homosexuals are born, not made. Your god should have known that before condemning them
I see lots of hurt in Norman. I just want to give him the biggest hug and tell him he is so loved by God! Praying his heart is softened towards Jesus and his eyes opened! ❤️
Why would you say he is "so loved by God"?
Isn't God's love conditional?
@@toddcote4904 maybe I’m not understanding your question but yes, He is loved by God, but many times, I think people don’t realize JUST HOW MUCH GOD LOVES US! For someone that doesn’t have a relationship with Him, they may not realize how loved they are. But let me ask you a question…what do you mean by Gods love is conditional? Did you mean unconditional?
@@MommaJ358
No, I meant conditional.
What I mean is, isn't God's love conditional upon repentance and faith in Jesus? If someone does not obey His command to repent then why do you believe God loves them?
@@toddcote4904 good question. I think God loves every human being that He’s made. Why would He not love His creation? But I understand what you’re asking, at least I think I do.😉 It would seem that God only loves those who believe in Him, and while we do receive a greater relationship and His forgivingness, if God DIDN’T love those who were unbelievers, then we would all be in a world of hurt. Because each and every one of us are sinners. And yet, He still loves us. But as far as those whose sins are forgiven…that’s because we have given our hearts over to Christ, knowing that He was God in the flesh, died on the cross for our sins, and we have to accept that He is our Lord. But yes, I absolutely believe that God loves each and everyone of us, otherwise the act of dying on the cross would have meant nothing. People don’t typically lay down their lives for others they don’t love. Jesus…God…He loves us all. It’s up to the Holy Spirit and our willingness to give our hearts to Him to have that relationship with Him. Jesus tells his disciples in Luke 5:31 that it is not the “healthy who need a doctor, but those who are sick…”. Meaning, sinners need God. In which I I see that as absolute love from Him.
@@MommaJ358
How do you interpret this teaching of Jesus? Does it support what you've just said that God loves everyone?
Jhn 14:21 - “He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
I pray for Norman that He would call upon the name of the Lord and be saved. 🙏 Thank you Jesus!
Amen.
Amen!!!
Amen🙏
Acts 2:38
God bless everyone who watching
Thank you, God bless you to 🙏
Tonight, if you can’t sleep, instead of counting sheep, count your blessings instead. While you’re at it, talk to the Shepherd and you will have a peaceful sleep.
I love how Ray loves people - this is how the gay community should’ve been treated all along - this young man was correct when he said never felt that God hated him - he just had been led to believe that God in the bible hated him - unregenerate man knows God doesn’t hate him - I pray the Holy Spirit continues to witness to this young man and he receives all that God has for him
Ray you changed the way i see the Gospel and now today i now share the Gospel through social media.
Your so brave and i wish God would give me strength to do what you've done today.
Holy Father ... Embrace this boy... Love him .. Touch him... Change him... & give him Holy Wisdom, Revelation Knowledge, & prophetic INSIGHT. In Jesus Holy Name ...
Amen
In Jesus name. Amen.
He reminds me of so many of my gay friends..I love them dearly..in my partying days I went to gay clubs all the time, drag shows, if there was a gay function, I was there..now I'm very vocal about where I stand..and I ALWAYS point out heterosexual relationships can be just as detrimental as homosexual one's, BUT even a great homosexual relationship is not okay with God..my best friend of 30yrs is gay..we both endlessly partied, with zero judgement, and did absolutely whatever we wanted..then over a decade ago we both came to Christ..we BOTH dedicated our lives to God..I ended my heterosexual relationship because it wasn't good for me even though he was a proclaimed Christian..we weren't doing Christianly things..and Ian stopped seeing men, even dated 1 girl..he started to become unhappy and frustrated 6months in..he prayed for God to find him a wife..and because this 1 girl wasn't "the one" he became bitter..he truly expected that God would deliver him up a wife immediately and I could actually tell he was resentful towards God..we lived as roommates for 3yrs..we would pray intensely together, fast together and studied the Bible together..then in late 2018 I could tell something was up..in the past when guys liked him he literally drove to his Church parking lot and would explain to them God changed his heart and he couldn't be gay anymore..I had an overwhelming feeling he wasn't doing that anymore..in early 2019 he moved all of his things out in the cover of darkness and literally just waited until I woke up to say he was moved out and he'd call me..I was utterly speechless..he literally left my home 30seconds after telling me this..he said he needed to live alone..I can respect that, but I could tell he was lying regarding something but he gave me zero chances to question anything (which is why he did EXACTLY what he did)..he became non-existent after that..fast forward to 2020 and he FINALLY tells me through text that he's gay, living with his bf (ya they rented a house and moved in together when he left my home) and wasn't at all ashamed and hoped I would stay his friend..I then pointed out everything I observed in 2018 that told me he was backsliding and ended it with "ya I'm well aware you've being dodging me and lying to me for a year and a half"..but I also said I would never abandon him..if his acknowledgment didn't break my heart enough, what I then came to know made it so much worse..he completely abandoned his Church, which was his family's Church..his grandfather was the preacher, his father played guitar and Ian led the choir and put together the Christmas pageant with the kids each year..we went to 2 different non-denominational Church's but we didn't judge each other on those differences..but he abandoned his Church because they were only inviting Ian to things, NOT his bf..this was a huge smack in the face, an almost unthinkable action he would take..he then not only did that but divided his Christian family and his gay friends that he had told for almost a decade that God could help you overcome anything, he now told "I was wrong"..all I could think of (and still do) is the massive collateral damage he has done..and it had been better if he had not preached God's Word to his gay friends than to do it for almost a decade and then COMPLETELY abandon God's Word..because then ALL his gay friends said "see, you can't change and God will accept you for who you are.....God loves the LGBTQ+ and will fully accept them into heaven"..he didn't just lose them, he reinforced in their minds (because he was such a strong dedicated Christian) that it was IMPOSSIBLE to change 🥺 he now goes to his bf's Church, with his bf's family at denominational Church that does not match his prior strongly held Belief's..but this Church encourages gay couples so I guess that's all that matters to him..I have cried endless tears over this..I genuinely don't know what to do..he personally knows and has seen how many times I've almost fell into temptation, over and over..but he's also seen my resilience so he knows it can be done..he's not asked me if I'd like to meet his bf or if his bf can come over with him when he visits me..that tells me he already knows I'm not okay with this..he knows the Bible and I know his heart is compelling him in one way but then you have his huge group of gay friends, his bf, his bf's family AND his bf's Church that are telling him to ignore anyone that disagrees with his lifestyle..I am infuriated and yet endlessly saddened by this..I'm stuck between confronting all these people *OR* pray and leave it up to God..I've been doing the latter..Ian's become this selfish, divisive, uncaring person..I've known him for 30yrs and am stunned at his coldness..our mutual best friend's mother died, I was very sick so she asked Ian if she could just sleep on his couch for 1 night..his bf, who can't stand people that don't accept him, said she couldn't stay because she's a Republican..AND IAN TOLD HER NO! My respect level plummeted for him..BECAUSE ironically she supports the LGBTQ+, while I'm not a Republican but I don't support the LGBTQ+ lifestyle..our friend had no problem with them as a gay couple but he judged her for being Republican 🤷 again, I go back and forth from infuriated to completely broken hearted but praying..I will say this, in the grand scheme of things no one's called me homophobic..they *ALL* know better..in fact I'm pansexual, and lived that way for 15yrs, but I've turned from anything sexual displeasing to God..this is all just so heartbreaking 💔😢 *please please please* pray for my friend Ian..he's not this terrible person he's become..but regardless he's embraced it, shows no signs of changing, and I'm completely outnumbered as opposed to the one's praising his actions, telling him he doesn't need his old Church, his family or friends that aren't 100% on board..and worst of all, telling him God is not a loving God if he doesn't accept Ian just like this, living with his cheating, prejudice, close minded, hateful bf..I just need prayers, for me to endure and his heart to change..and GOD BLESS YOU if you made it this far! 🥰 I didn't mean to write a book of a response but I REALLY REALLY needed to get this off my chest and ask for guidance and many many prayers 🙏 God bless you Ray for not being intimidated to preach Truth 💜 and God bless *ALL* my Brother's and Sister's out there reading this 💜💜💜

I used Ray's technique the other day in a coffee shop with a man. It started as a fun conversation until he grew in anger and hostility when I exposed his dire condition through the law. He was yelling throughout the entire coffee shop and started to try to threaten me by letting me know he has shot someone in the head before. Several others got to hear the gospel because of his big scene. I just started this channel and talked about what happened on my latest video. The Lord really works it all out for His good! I am thankful for you Ray Comfort and Living Waters Ministries!!
I think it makes a difference when the person willingly agreed to the interview in front of camera. Random talks to strangers like this might not end up well…
I used to be like this guy but God changed me and my life and he will do the same for this guy❤❤❤
Do you like women now
@@michaeldsternI don't... but I am through the Lord Jesus Christ trying to walk upright before Him day by day. Isn't life more than my sexuality? Isn't life more than my sexual desires? So for me I try to please God by being faithful to His word. Everyone who names the name of Christ we all must depart from iniquity and Jesus said to follow Him we must deny yourself pick up our cross daily and follow Him. We all have crosses to bear. We all have desires and things that we really want to do but through Christ and His Love and accepting Him as Lord and Savior He helps us to turn from sin and walk upright before Him.
In Sept. 2018 God in His mighty love spoke to me and said if I was to die I'd go straight to hell. There was a mass shooting at a warehouse at a riteaids in md and I saw it on the national news and the Lord spoke to me and said if u were there and were to die in that shooting ud be in hell for all eternity and I begged the Lord if there was a way I could be saved. So right there I started reading the book of revelation I read the entire book and it kept saying- and they repented not nor turned away from there wicked ways- so even at the very end God wants us to come to Him. Even at the very God is begging us to come to Him he knocks at the door of our heart to get right with him now while there's yet time.
Ray was like a surgeon in this video. He really tried to do the gospel justice. Life saving.
My thoughts exactly, only ministry I donate too cause I get to watch him everyday practically out here getting down to business. Shalom friend ✝️
At least this young man took time to listen. Pray for him. May GOD open his heart to recieve His son JESUS that he can be changed and reborn.
facts not dogma If you are gay or know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction. It is, therefore, not a choice & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural expression of our species & found commonplace in nature. Intelligent research in this area clearly explains this process. If you are truly interested in truth, based on knowledge, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay shows this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for yourself & others, that you are entitled to, this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years ago by men that had no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book. The public must be exposed to facts & knowledge. It is an obligation for those who know the truth & must defend it. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance. Peace
@@dan69052 The bible may be old but it has never changed, the truth is fact, and fact never changes, but science constantly does. just because the bible is over 2000 years old does not disprove anything. It shows that the bible has been true 2000+ years and has reached the destination of truth first and in-fact it is the destination of truth. Science is slower and constantly changing, who knows maybe one day science will be able to catch up and reveal the Truth or maybe it already has but the hardened hearts of man try and manipulate science to prove something that doesn't exist.
Let us all pray for Norman that the seed Ray planted will grow, and Norman will give his life to Jesus the Christ. Jesus is the sculptor, we are the clay.

So true!! And then “But God…” 🙌🏼🤍
That young man is on the edge of wanting a relationship with Christ and changing his life. You can see it in his face. Who knows how long God has been working on his heart. God doesn’t know how to fail, we will see that young man in heaven one day.
Lets pray for him thats all we can do! God will do the rest!
He reminds me of so many of my gay friends..I love them dearly..in my partying days I went to gay clubs all the time, drag shows, if there was a gay function, I was there..now I'm very vocal about where I stand..and I ALWAYS point out heterosexual relationships can be just as detrimental as homosexual one's, BUT even a great homosexual relationship is not okay with God..my best friend of 30yrs is gay..we both endlessly partied, with zero judgement, and did absolutely whatever we wanted..then over a decade ago we both came to Christ..we BOTH dedicated our lives to God..I ended my heterosexual relationship because it wasn't good for me even though he was a proclaimed Christian..we weren't doing Christianly things..and Ian stopped seeing men, even dated 1 girl..he started to become unhappy and frustrated 6months in..he prayed for God to find him a wife..and because this 1 girl wasn't "the one" he became bitter..he truly expected that God would deliver him up a wife immediately and I could actually tell he was resentful towards God..we lived as roommates for 3yrs..we would pray intensely together, fast together and studied the Bible together..then in late 2018 I could tell something was up..in the past when guys liked him he literally drove to his Church parking lot and would explain to them God changed his heart and he couldn't be gay anymore..I had an overwhelming feeling he wasn't doing that anymore..in early 2019 he moved all of his things out in the cover of darkness and literally just waited until I woke up to say he was moved out and he'd call me..I was utterly speechless..he literally left my home 30seconds after telling me this..he said he needed to live alone..I can respect that, but I could tell he was lying regarding something but he gave me zero chances to question anything (which is why he did EXACTLY what he did)..he became non-existent after that..fast forward to 2020 and he FINALLY tells me through text that he's gay, living with his bf (ya they rented a house and moved in together when he left my home) and wasn't at all ashamed and hoped I would stay his friend..I then pointed out everything I observed in 2018 that told me he was backsliding and ended it with "ya I'm well aware you've being dodging me and lying to me for a year and a half"..but I also said I would never abandon him..if his acknowledgment didn't break my heart enough, what I then came to know made it so much worse..he completely abandoned his Church, which was his family's Church..his grandfather was the preacher, his father played guitar and Ian led the choir and put together the Christmas pageant with the kids each year..we went to 2 different non-denominational Church's but we didn't judge each other on those differences..but he abandoned his Church because they were only inviting Ian to things, NOT his bf..this was a huge smack in the face, an almost unthinkable action he would take..he then not only did that but divided his Christian family and his gay friends that he had told for almost a decade that God could help you overcome anything, he now told "I was wrong"..all I could think of (and still do) is the massive collateral damage he has done..and it had been better if he had not preached God's Word to his gay friends than to do it for almost a decade and then COMPLETELY abandon God's Word..because then ALL his gay friends said "see, you can't change and God will accept you for who you are.....God loves the LGBTQ+ and will fully accept them into heaven"..he didn't just lose them, he reinforced in their minds (because he was such a strong dedicated Christian) that it was IMPOSSIBLE to change 🥺 he now goes to his bf's Church, with his bf's family at denominational Church that does not match his prior strongly held Belief's..but this Church encourages gay couples so I guess that's all that matters to him..I have cried endless tears over this..I genuinely don't know what to do..he personally knows and has seen how many times I've almost fell into temptation, over and over..but he's also seen my resilience so he knows it can be done..he's not asked me if I'd like to meet his bf or if his bf can come over with him when he visits me..that tells me he already knows I'm not okay with this..he knows the Bible and I know his heart is compelling him in one way but then you have his huge group of gay friends, his bf, his bf's family AND his bf's Church that are telling him to ignore anyone that disagrees with his lifestyle..I am infuriated and yet endlessly saddened by this..I'm stuck between confronting all these people *OR* pray and leave it up to God..I've been doing the latter..Ian's become this selfish, divisive, uncaring person..I've known him for 30yrs and am stunned at his coldness..our mutual best friend's mother died, I was very sick so she asked Ian if she could just sleep on his couch for 1 night..his bf, who can't stand people that don't accept him, said she couldn't stay because she's a Republican..AND IAN TOLD HER NO! My respect level plummeted for him..BECAUSE ironically she supports the LGBTQ+, while I'm not a Republican but I don't support the LGBTQ+ lifestyle..our friend had no problem with them as a gay couple but he judged her for being Republican 🤷 again, I go back and forth from infuriated to completely broken hearted but praying..I will say this, in the grand scheme of things no one's called me homophobic..they *ALL* know better..in fact I'm pansexual, and lived that way for 15yrs, but I've turned from anything sexual displeasing to God..this is all just so heartbreaking 💔😢 *please please please* pray for my friend Ian..he's not this terrible person he's become..but regardless he's embraced it, shows no signs of changing, and I'm completely outnumbered as opposed to the one's praising his actions, telling him he doesn't need his old Church, his family or friends that aren't 100% on board..and worst of all, telling him God is not a loving God if he doesn't accept Ian just like this, living with his cheating, prejudice, close minded, hateful bf..I just need prayers, for me to endure and his heart to change..and GOD BLESS YOU if you made it this far! 🥰 I didn't mean to write a book of a response but I REALLY REALLY needed to get this off my chest and ask for guidance and many many prayers 🙏 God bless you Ray for not being intimidated to preach Truth 💜 and God bless *ALL* my Brother's and Sister's out there reading this 💜💜💜
I read your comment, I will pray for your friend and for you.
Why do you call yourself a pansexual? You may have those desires but you have overcome them by the blood of the Lamb. It has no power over you, if you were washed, sanctified and justified, please do not refer to yourself as such.
You're strength is admirable, keep fighting the good fight.
@@HerHealthyHome I guess I should have clarified I'm a "former" pansexual *=)* God definitely changed me into a different creature *=)* Thank you so so much for your prayers..they mean the world to me *=)* God bless you and yours 💜🤗💜

I am so sorry for all that you were going through, but I praise our Savior for all the miracles and blessings in your life...don't discouraged because our God is with you.
Joshua 1.9 KVJ
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
For your friend I can just think about this words the Lord told:
Luke 9.23-25 KJV
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
May God have mercy with him and continue to pray for him and leave in the hands of the almighty God, for He knows what to do with each and every one uf us. (Isaiah 55: 8-9)
May God continue to bless you🙏
I can relate with my own brother, God cleansed him from a crack addiction. His faith grew, and he was witnessing to me for awhile. Now he has turned to a reprobate mind. Much of the world today is under the strong delusion mentioned in the Bible. These surely are the end of days. Pray, love, and repent, the time draws nigh
A seed planted now it's time to water it . And let God do his job. Please do not hate or judge any one . Why you ask because you don't know where he will be at his last breath. But pray for them that they come home to our Father our God . Love you all and have a great day .
Jesus said, "For there are eunuchs who were born that way" Mat 19:12 In ancient Jewish culture, Eunuchs born that way referred to Gay people. Jesus shows no condemnation.
Have you not read all the beautiful and loving comments?
@@prissylovejoy702 This is how all the nice comments come across: "Oh I really hope Prissy gets saved and repents from her self-righteous, judgemental and proud sinful tendencies. I would not want to see her burn in hell. She seems so lovely and respectful. Everyone lets pray for prissy ;) The comments are condescending.
This man and people like him break my heart, but God will never give up on them🙃
But it's not THEM and us!!! ALL have sinned!!! 💔 It's falling short of God's glory and NOT accepting His grace that keeps us away from His presence!!! 🥰🤗
@@CarolynMatyjanka amen
why do they break your heart?
Your name is really krapenshitz?
What is it about christians that makes them so arrogant and condescending? Isn't it against what it preaches?
That was amazing he was so respectful and attentive God bless him let’s all pray for him ❤️
"Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."(Matthew 19:26) I pray that this sympathetic young man will be converted by GOD'S AMAZING GRACE and that he will become a NEW CREATION IN CHRIST!! I pray that GOD will perform HIS heart surgery on this young man like HE did it with us, i pray this in the name of our LORD JESUS CHRIST! Ray has so kindly and lovingly presented the Gospel to the young man, that is such a great gift as it keeps the conversation flowing and the interviewed person is feeling so well and cared for.
I really enjoyed the testimony of Beckett Cook, ex gay Christian
At least Two relatives in my family that are gay 🥲
Listen to Sy Rogers testimony..hilarious and absolutely awesome at the same time.
@@universalservicetechust3578 I think everybody has a few in there families nowadays.
@@pampeeleshelton3401 and I'm one of them... 😭😭😭 Why me? 😭
Ray has been so blessed by God with a gift to witness like he does. It's very inspiring.
I'm gonna be praying for this young man. What a beautiful soul he has.
I watch a lot of Mr. Comfort’s videos, but this one brought tears to my eyes. He was so sweet and honest!
Thank you Ray Comfort for your tremendous work in planting seeds and spreading the good news. It brought me to tears watching this young man. He WAS so patient and very kind --- I pray those seeds will take root .
I love your method of evangelism, God really gave you a gift, and alot of wisdom.✝️🙏💜God bless you more everyday. And your family.😊 From Toronto 🇨🇦
AMEN
Yes, what he does is really awesome. He did not bash this guy but he did it with love, brought a tear to my eye
Such a Beautiful video, and such loving comments here. You can feel the Love of God. No one here putting anyone down, but showing love and offering prayers up to God.🙌🤗🙏
Ray is so gentle and stays on topic. What a gifted man of God.
Prayers for Norman and all other sinners out there including me. God bless us all. Ray as always, great job evangelizing.
The guy was so patient and listened to everything Ray said even when he was not agreeing with him. Lord Jesus is the only one able to change a heart with carnal desires. May he help this guy to accept the gospel, because only truth will set us free. 🙏🏻
He seems very nice and he didn't freak out when he mentioned his homosexual lifestyle.
He's touched and will never be the same!
some truths If you are gay or know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction. It is, therefore, not a choice & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural expression of our species & found commonplace in nature. Intelligent research in this area clearly explains this process. If you are truly interested in truth, based on knowledge, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay shows this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for yourself & others, that you are entitled to, this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years ago by men that had no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book. The public must be exposed to facts & knowledge. It is an obligation for those who know the truth & must defend it. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance. Peace
Very good interview! I pray he takes it to heart!
I am soooo encouraged.....Glory to God......what an excellent witnessing encounter....deep...concise....thorough...Loving....patient....seeds were sown!
first
God bless Norman. May God work in his heart ❤
What a kind and respectful young man! I will pray 🙏 for the seed that Ray planted to be watered and tended to for this young man to fall in Love with Jesus and end up in Heaven!
Love the very direct and to the point and yet extremely gracious and kind way you present the gospel. Thank you so much for these videos!
What a precious and wonderful young man. I love him. I pray for him to be saved by Jesus and for his eyes to be opened by the truth.
@Naomilau in the lords eye every human being is precious and valuable, the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins while we were yet sinners. You were precious and wonderful when you were a unsaved human. His agenda is wrong and I agree but you shouldn’t say a human being isn’t precious, if it’s your theology I wonder how your foundation is build…
@Naomilau Hey, Jesus commanded us to love one another. That guy in the video is misled about some things. Haven't we all been? I know I was very misled about things before I was saved. I don't think it is stupid to love a person and pray for them to be saved as we have been. Jesus forgave us and had mercy on us when we didn't deserve it, as should we forgive and show mercy to one another. Peace of Christ.
I love you Norman and I'm praying for you to have a genuine encounter with Jesus. There is NOTHING like the PRESENCE of GOD
Norman continues to say “No, can you tell me?” THIS MADE ME SMILE, not many people will say this, or even want to hear, they just stand there and listen to be respectful, norman wants to know more, he might be thirsty. I pray he will come to know Jesus
Norman is very likeable, may he get saved
Truth makes sinners uncomfortable.
I had the same experience 17 years ago.
I dealt with the fury and discomfort after I heard the Gospel message.
Then I realized that my sins inside of me makes me that kind of reaction because somewhat I knew I was guilty of so many wrong doings I’ve made myself in my life. That’s when I surrendered to the Lord Jesus my Savior for forgiveness and grace.
I’m praying for my unsaved family members and friends nowadays.
I fully support the LGBTTB: “Let’s Get Back To The Bible!” Great video. Pray that God illuminates this precious soul!
Yessss!
u had me in the 1st half ngl😅😂
Don't you find it weird though how much religion (Christianity and other religions) have changed so much as history progressed. The Christianity now is wildly different than the Christianity back in the Roman Empire. And I'm sure it is very different than back when the Pope was using the Bible to get people to "buy" their way into heaven. There are hundreds of different variations of Christianity and other religions. What makes you sure that you have the right one? Also, the Bible has been translated many many times, so the bible being read today could be very different than the bible back when it was first written. Also, the bible supports slavery and treats women as inferior, so I don't really want to go back to the bible.
@@lordkayla4186
Do you by chance know the point of the bible or the point of Christianity?
@@dorcaso1619 Well, I have my own opinion about the point of the bible and of Christianity. I'm not sure many people would agree with me. Why do you ask? Not sure if you wanted to know or not, but I put my opinion below if you are curious.
My opinion as to why the bible was made is that it was used as a way to understand the world. That is what I believe is the point to all religions. They were all created in order to provide a justification for existence and provide an answer to questions that, at the time, were unanswerable. They are also used as a source of power and control. By segregating people into those going to hell and those going to heaven, they can scare people into following the rules put in place by them. I don't mean to disrespect those following religions or anything like that. Religions can also be a good thing. In history and now, religions can help people unite and provide reason for doing good deeds. Sorry if my answer is too long.
That young man was so respectful... Please Father God, give him to Jesus.
As Jesus said "All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out."
John 6:37 ESV
And Jesus also said:
"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day."
John 6:44 ESV
His heart was open to hear the gospel 💛🧡 beautiful
This one was absolutely beautiful! Wow! ❤️
What a very gentle man Norman is. He has a heart for Jesus.
I pray that he will be delivered. Thank you Ray and Living Waters for sharing the truth!
Ray's analogies are always soooo awesome!!! For example, his story of when he was a runner. So Good!!
*GOD Is Saying To You Today;"Don't go backwards, that's what the enemy wants you to do.Your future will be greater than your past.Your past was just preparation for your future. Iam with you.Keep moving forward. Things are better for you up ahead. "Trust in His promises.🕊*
Amen 🙏
God has said in His word, Repent and trust alone in Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins. Perfect imputed righteousness before God will give you the birthright to enter into heaven. Only made possible by death and ressurection of our savior, Jesus Christ.

9:24 not until 3/4 of the way through the conversation did Ray ask the key question. But when he did, he got this beautiful open reply from Norman:
“Do you know what God did for guilty sinners?”
“No, can you tell me?”
Now there is effective evangelism. Praying for you Ray as you follow the leading of the Spirit of the Holy God as to whom you should speak. Thanks for demonstrating time and again to us subscribers the importance of sharing the conviction of the law before the grace of the cross.
Yeah...the conversation was beautiful ❤️
GOD bless you for this and so much more Ray Comfort and team!
God took my heart of stone and gave me life. In just two short years after giving my life to Jesus, I’m no longer a slave to my own ego and anger. I pray each day that I can somehow lead another to experience what I have through Jesus Christ.
Norman, thank you for being so kind and open to Mr. Comfort.
What a sweet guy! Thank him for his honesty. Pray he gets saved. He deserves salvation just like All sinners - all of us.
Every one of your videos make me cry and help me to understand an effective way to share the gospel of Jesus. Thank you so much

@@dan69052 oh I'm not gay I've been a Christian since I was 18. I'm straighter than an arrow 🤣🤣 but before i devoted myself to God I had an instance of lust towards a female but I rebuked myself because I still knew it was wrong that God said it was sinful and I honoured God with the tiny bit of faith I had and ever since then never had a problem with that sort of lust😊
