I've watched hundreds of episodes of Living Waters witnessing here. This young man, Ashley, gave perhaps one of the best explanations I have heard to date. God bless you, Ashley. May God grant you many years to speak His message to those around you! I am praying for this young man, Tom, who heard the good news.
@@auzdeee JESUS is GOD, Isaiah 9:6, revelation 1:8, John 1:1, 1Timothy 3:16, Mark 10:18 Only GOD is Good (JESUS was sinless, HE came to fulfill the law for us), Mathew 4:10 worship GOD Only, JESUS receives worship many times) John 20:28 my LORD and my GOD (Thomas said this to JESUS).........You don't know HE is GOD because you need to be born again. Now read this..........................The Bad News: You are naturally a born sinner and have broken at least one of the law (10 commandments) at least once in your life (Example: a lie) (James 2:10) so because of this your on your way to hell already, everyone is (Romans 3:23) The Gospel (Good News): JESUS, Who is GOD in the flesh, came into the world and died for us to free us from the curse of the law (10 commandments) and ressurected on the third day so that whosoever BELIEVES in HIM will not perish but have everlasting life! GOD said this! GOD cannot lie (Titus 1:2, Hebrews 6:18) we can lie because we are sinners. JESUS saved us already (Colossians 2:14) Just BELIEVE and TRUST in HIM! AMEN AMEN AMEN!
I use to be agnostic, I always knew there is a higher power we call God but I did not fully understand that and I wanted the truth so I looked for answers and each time I did the Bible pops up, videos like this and alike pops up, i kept turning back from it because I never of thought that having the answer I needed was this simple then I read, watched and I started reading the Bible to fact check everything even listened to audio Bibles, one day I prayed after work at 3am asking for God and his help, I gave my life to him that night asking for a new life and a new job to allow me to have a new life. Now I got a new job and a new life... I went to church and I got Baptised not long ago and did a testimony like this one explaining why I gave myself to Jesus and why he is my Lord and Saviour. I personally believe being agnostic is a person battling the evil thoughts trying to convince you theres not and God calling for you to come to him as he is reaching for you, being agnostic is the first step to learn and trust in God because you're not denying him but giving him a chance to help you listen. God is calling for us and walking 90% to you and all he wants you to do is walk that 10% towards him which is one step to start listening. If youre not a christian but you want to learn more, find a church this is not just for Christians otherwise there would be no increase of followers.
Hey, I'm looking for testimonies of new Christians to put on my website, would you be interested in recording it so other Christians can see it? I am doing this so that those who are at the same point as you can understand what the next step is. The website is called this cloud of witnesses.
auzdeee Jesus is God,Satan knows that,he is a Liar,and he told you that Jesus is not God, if you going to believe Satan,it’s your Choice,then you going whit him in hell !
@@frankpusok9617 Christianity today is a copy paste from paganism,All the core doctrines of Christianity is not supported by the corrupted bible.

( Roman philosopher Celsus ) "The best cure for Christianity is reading the bible" , (Mark Twain) "The bible has driven reason from the minds of millions,It has made credulity the greatest of virtues,and investigation the greatest of crimes,The instant we admit that a book is too sacred to be doubted or even reasoned about.we are mental serfs," If a man would follow,today,the teaching of the Old testament,he would be a criminal.If he would strictly follow the teaching of the New testament, he would be insane. (Robert Ingersoll) How long will mankind worship a book?How long will it grovel in the dust before the ignorant legends of the barbaric past" , (Robert Ingersoll) Most of what discredits Christianity comes from within Christianity,You don't have to go outside of religion to tear it apart." (Dan Barker) “If the modern ‘bibles’ are supposed to make it easier to understand and also correct ‘mistakes’, why did 300+ different versions still not make it easy enough and get it right; and why are they still creating more versions? The answer is that the primary goal is not to make the Word of God clearer, but so they can make money and make it say what they want!”( Bill Brinkworth ) “When the missionaries arrived, the Africans had the land and the missionaries had the Bible. They taught us how to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible.” - Jomo Kenyatta
@@frankpusok9617 The Savior God Cults(All preceded Jesus) Comparative hierologists have discovered records of about thirty Savior-God religions.

(2) Their mothers were virgins. (3) They were born in a cave or stable. (4) They worked for the salvation of humanity.

For the 3rd commandment he guessed, I think he was thinking about the 9th commandment. Do not bear false witness against your neighbor” or do not talk behind someone’s back or gossip to ruin their reputation
I think that this Young boy was touched by Holy Spirit. THOUGH he says he is agnóstic, for some minutes he is listening carefully and he is willing to consider It. Ley's pray for Him, for his true SALVATION and for all people interviewed by this Christian team
God works in different ways to save people from being deceived by the lies and the confusion of this generation. God uses preachers to meet those poor and lost souls to hear the message of the Good News while there is time for them. And God is also has a plan for everyone. May the Lord through his Holy Spirit convicts many people of their sins and to lead them to the right direction.
I much prefer Ashleys humble approach to that of Ray Comfort. I'm sure they are both winning souls though, but I used to cringe inside at Rays' approach, it is only a miracle of God and testament to the innate graciousness of some people that they heard Ray out.
He was a lovely young man. And he really is thinking I believe. And when he does except Jesus has his savior, he will be a power house of the word of God because he already recognized that hypocrisy as no place in the life of a believer. Also I do believe Livingwaters is doing good work for the word of God. However I do wish they would stop saying there are two requirements for salvation. There is only one. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and his finished work. Repentance is proof of salvation not a requirement. Many people are working their way to hell. Believe in your heart Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, died on the cross, and was resurrected the third day to pay for the sins of the world reconciling the world unto himself. And if you truly except the Lord Jesus repentance will be fruit of your salvation. Amen
Even the demons believe and yet they shutter. The 10 commandments are a mirror to show us our true condition. If one has a disease and they don’t know they have a disease how will they understand the cure? Most people know that God sarcriced His son and even believe it. But they have no repentance which accompanies their belief. Hence "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive outdemons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!

He is self conscious, but that is the least of his problem. He is enjoying sin and was thinking, I don't want to give up sex with girls Well the answer to this dilema is 1) be saved, 2) move out, 3) stop sinning and 4) marry the girl or let her go. That is a terrible greedy unfair thing. Using someone for sex and not committing to them for your life. Here is what you should do... Find a woman who loves you and you love her; and then you can be in God's will and you will learn how to to treat her and have a lifetime loving, relationship with a woman and be a Christ's follower. Now you will have the best of everything!!!!!! Anyone else make this decision and stop fornicating?
There is NO controversy if you believe the Bible. The FACT is that the Bible never uses the phrases “repent of your sins” or “turn from your sins” in regards to salvation. Salvation is a free gift of God-not of works-and relies totally upon God's mercy through the LITERAL blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 9:12); not forsaking one's sinful lifestyle (Titus 3:5, Ephesians 2:8,9). “Repent” in regards to salvation does not mean "stop living in sin.” It means to “change one's mind.” Carefully notice in Mark 1:15 what Jesus said... “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” Notice that Jesus DIDN'T say “repent ye, and forsake your sins.” No, rather, Jesus said, “repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
I think it is great but this is the problem. At this age this boy is probably more a saint than a sinner. So you talking to him from your perspective at your age makes him think like: What I don't see how I deserve hell just for downloading a video and looking at my classmates (for example) but if you approach an atheist at 30 or 40 you can speak these words to him. Here is the dilemma, he will not listen to you at this age anymore because he knows it is too hard to give up all thousand sins that he has already automated in his behavior and enjoying so far because he does not know better. That is why this boy is looking so puzzled when you tell him he might go to hell by God's standard.
Train up a child in the way he should go and he will not depart from it. I'd say it doesn't matter what age, we should speak about God. At the very least it can plant a seed for him to reconsider his actions. A small interaction on the street is never enough for someone to fully understand God, even in our whole lifetime we have more to learn.. but it could be a starting place for him to think more about his existence. Who knows what God will do with this.
I do agree with you somewhat that it is not preached enough that we cannot get above these sins and that he feels like he has to give up a thousand sins. However that will be taught more in discipleship as I know that I learnt that in the church and one of the best ways to get them there is to preach them the gospel. On the matter of his age unfortunately the worst thing most teenagers have done is not download a movie illegally, I myself am 16 and I know myself and the people around me have done horrible things in the eyes of the Lord whether it be fornication, stealing or other horrible things generally influenced by the heavy substance abuse and alcohol abuse amongst people my age. A lot of young people know that they are going to hell and that they are not good people but most of them also view christians as virtue singers who are just as bad as the world around them (which is not true in all cases but certainly in some). But God has been using that beautifully by raising up people by his grace like myself to have God's fire and to preach to these young people who can relate to someone their age. God Bless Marrie

Your first true love could have been the one you let get away and you may never find them again...sad, so sad. :( Use the brains God gave you.
Oh man at that age I was sinking in sin. We were born in sin. A little child can feel attracted to someone their same sex. They can be selfish, lie, steal and destroy. Eine kleine Seele ist keine kleine Seele.
what?? where did paul ever say to turn from sin to be saved? no wonder this kid is confused. you will naturally hate sin after receiving the holy ghost. turning from sin is following the law. he has added works to the cross? a complete contradiction?
Romans 6 ► Dead to Sin, Alive to God (2 Corinthians 4:7-18) 1What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2By no means! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer? 3Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4We therefore were buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life. 5For if we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be raised to life as He was. 6We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. 7For anyone who has died has been freed from sin. 8Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him. 9For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him. 10The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God. 11So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12Therefore do not let sin control your mortal body so that you obey its desires. 13Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness. 14For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
We still follow the law, because the law is good. But we are not UNDER the law, as though trying to save ourselves by it. The flesh battles the spirit, so we still need to turn away from sin, doing so because we hate sinful things, not simply because we're trying to follow a law and avoid a punishment.
I was lost, in a pit that I kept digging deeper. I cried out to God to help save me from myself. He was glad when I finally called on him. 1) Accept that you are a sinner. 2) Accept the free gift of salvation. Jesus has paid the penalty for our sins. We owe our life to him now and we want to please him (we are saved). 3) Then you will turn from all sin because God has given you a new heart, a heart to please God. 4) Begin the journey. Follow God. That is how it began for me. I read everything including the Bible. I could not get enough of God's love. It was awesome...still is. :^)
@@peachbun What is meant by sin? Can I never again tell a white lie? That would cause problems in my relationships. Can I have a beer once in while? Or is that a sin? Can I eat chocolate? Where do we draw the line? I need to know.
This could just be a stepping stone into his walk with Jesus, I pray that he will repent and be baptized in Jesus name and receive the holy ghost since he's believed....Acts 2:38
You need to continue reading through Acts and Paul's Epistles, as it progresses the baptism although required during the early Apostles ministry, once good calls Paul to bring the gospel to the gentiles baptism is no longer necessary for salvation. It is something we should all still do to show publicly our obedience to and faith in Christ. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 1 Corinthians 1:17
God is one Jesus paid our fine to him self ?....ILLOGICAL If that is true and he was God wouldn't it be better he forgive all and no crucifixion is needed .It seems the lies needs to be dramatized. Jesus didn't volunteer to be crucified . He prayed earnestly to God to save him from crucifixion. Matthew 26:38-39 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. 39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. Jesus's prayers are always answered.So he was not crucified: John John 11:41-43 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus lifted His eyes upward and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42 I knew that You ALWAYS hear Me, but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, so they may believe that You sent Me.” 43 After Jesus had said this, He called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”… Jesus is saying to the disciples after the so called crucifixion its me flesh and bones indicating he didn't die Luke 24:38-43 “Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see- for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.” 41 While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”…42 So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,…43 and He took it and ate it in front of them.… Hebrews 5:7 During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence. What more you need to know that Jesus was never crucified ?
Gods wrath cannot be demolished, but can be transferred. And only someone who is perfect could take the blame for our sins in placement of us. Only God is perfect. Jesus is God in human form, only God is perfect, only a human can die. Jesus is 100%God, and 100% human
Jesus prayers arent always answered, well not in the way he always wants. He said "if it is your will" he understood that it may not be Gods will to save him from death, Jesus did want to die for us, because he prophesied about it many times and told his disciples about him raising three days later
The bible clearly says he died, in all four gospels, I have four people telling me he raised, you have one telling you he didn't. Muhammad lived 300 years after Jesus and millions on milles away, the disciples lived with Jesus right next to him

Salvation is a free gift of God-not of works-and relies totally upon God's mercy through the LITERAL blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 9:12); not forsaking one's sinful lifestyle (Titus 3:5, Ephesians 2:8,9). “Repent” in regards to salvation does not mean "stop living in sin.” It means to “change one's mind.” Carefully notice in Mark 1:15 what Jesus said... “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” Notice that Jesus DIDN'T say “repent ye, and forsake your sins.” No, rather, Jesus said, “repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
I think it is great but this is the problem. At this age this boy is probably more a saint than a sinner. So you talking to him from your perspective at your age makes him think like: What I don't see how I deserve hell just for downloading a video and looking at my classmates (for example) but if you approach an atheist at 30 or 40 you can speak these words to him. Here is the dilemma, he will not listen to you at this age anymore because he knows it is too hard to give up all thousand sins that he has already automated in his behavior and enjoying so far because he does not know better. That is why this boy is looking so puzzled when you tell him he might go to hell by God's standard.
Train up a child in the way he should go and he will not depart from it.
I'd say it doesn't matter what age, we should speak about God. At the very least it can plant a seed for him to reconsider his actions.
A small interaction on the street is never enough for someone to fully understand God, even in our whole lifetime we have more to learn.. but it could be a starting place for him to think more about his existence. Who knows what God will do with this.
@@peachbun agree
I do agree with you somewhat that it is not preached enough that we cannot get above these sins and that he feels like he has to give up a thousand sins. However that will be taught more in discipleship as I know that I learnt that in the church and one of the best ways to get them there is to preach them the gospel. On the matter of his age unfortunately the worst thing most teenagers have done is not download a movie illegally, I myself am 16 and I know myself and the people around me have done horrible things in the eyes of the Lord whether it be fornication, stealing or other horrible things generally influenced by the heavy substance abuse and alcohol abuse amongst people my age. A lot of young people know that they are going to hell and that they are not good people but most of them also view christians as virtue singers who are just as bad as the world around them (which is not true in all cases but certainly in some). But God has been using that beautifully by raising up people by his grace like myself to have God's fire and to preach to these young people who can relate to someone their age. God Bless Marrie
He is self conscious, but that is the least of his problem. He is enjoying sin and was thinking, I don't want to give up sex with girls
Well the answer to this dilema is 1) be saved, 2) move out, 3) stop sinning and 4) marry the girl or let her go. That is a terrible greedy unfair thing. Using someone for sex and not committing to them for your life.
Here is what you should do...
Find a woman who loves you and you love her; and then you can be in God's will and you will learn how to to treat her and have a lifetime loving, relationship with a woman and be a Christ's follower. Now you will have the best of everything!!!!!!
Anyone else make this decision and stop fornicating?
Being married to the person of your dreams used to be the way we did it. Nowadays sin is so rampant because no one wants to commit. You may let the best person for you slip away because you want to do as many as you can... Bad decision.
Your first true love could have been the one you let get away and you may never find them again...sad, so sad. :(
Use the brains God gave you.
Oh man at that age I was sinking in sin. We were born in sin. A little child can feel attracted to someone their same sex. They can be selfish, lie, steal and destroy. Eine kleine Seele ist keine kleine Seele.
Gianna wish I would run into a guy like this on the street. He would not be ready for my answers.
what?? where did paul ever say to turn from sin to be saved? no wonder this kid is confused. you will naturally hate sin after receiving the holy ghost. turning from sin is following the law. he has added works to the cross? a complete contradiction?
Romans 6 ►
Dead to Sin, Alive to God
(2 Corinthians 4:7-18)
1What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2By no means! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer? 3Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4We therefore were buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.
5For if we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be raised to life as He was. 6We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. 7For anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
8Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him. 9For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him. 10The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God. 11So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12Therefore do not let sin control your mortal body so that you obey its desires. 13Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness. 14For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
We still follow the law, because the law is good. But we are not UNDER the law, as though trying to save ourselves by it.
The flesh battles the spirit, so we still need to turn away from sin, doing so because we hate sinful things, not simply because we're trying to follow a law and avoid a punishment.
I was lost, in a pit that I kept digging deeper. I cried out to God to help save me from myself.
He was glad when I finally called on him.
1) Accept that you are a sinner.
2) Accept the free gift of salvation. Jesus has paid the penalty for our sins. We owe our life to him now and we want to please him (we are saved).
3) Then you will turn from all sin because God has given you a new heart, a heart to please God.
4) Begin the journey. Follow God. That is how it began for me. I read everything including the Bible. I could not get enough of God's love. It was awesome...still is. :^)
Apostle Peter said this Acts 2:38
@@peachbun What is meant by sin? Can I never again tell a white lie? That would cause problems in my relationships. Can I have a beer once in while? Or is that a sin? Can I eat chocolate? Where do we draw the line? I need to know.
This could just be a stepping stone into his walk with Jesus, I pray that he will repent and be baptized in Jesus name and receive the holy ghost since he's believed....Acts 2:38
You need to continue reading through Acts and Paul's Epistles, as it progresses the baptism although required during the early Apostles ministry, once good calls Paul to bring the gospel to the gentiles baptism is no longer necessary for salvation. It is something we should all still do to show publicly our obedience to and faith in Christ.
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 1 Corinthians 1:17
To much rambling, just spit it out n get right to the point. Ray is the best at doing just that.
Seems a little staged, like some of these other "Atheist considers" videos that LW puts out.
God is one
Jesus paid our fine to him self ?....ILLOGICAL
If that is true and he was God wouldn't it be better he forgive all and no crucifixion is needed .It seems the lies needs to be dramatized.
Jesus didn't volunteer to be crucified . He prayed earnestly to God to save him from crucifixion.
Matthew 26:38-39 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Jesus's prayers are always answered.So he was not crucified:
John John 11:41-43 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus lifted His eyes upward and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42 I knew that You ALWAYS hear Me, but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, so they may believe that You sent Me.” 43 After Jesus had said this, He called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”…
Jesus is saying to the disciples after the so called crucifixion its me flesh and bones indicating
he didn't die
Luke 24:38-43 “Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see- for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
41 While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”…42 So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,…43 and He took it and ate it in front of them.…
Hebrews 5:7 During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.
What more you need to know that Jesus was never crucified ?
codswallop
Gods wrath cannot be demolished, but can be transferred. And only someone who is perfect could take the blame for our sins in placement of us. Only God is perfect. Jesus is God in human form, only God is perfect, only a human can die. Jesus is 100%God, and 100% human
Jesus prayers arent always answered, well not in the way he always wants. He said "if it is your will" he understood that it may not be Gods will to save him from death, Jesus did want to die for us, because he prophesied about it many times and told his disciples about him raising three days later
I'm assuming that you're a muslim?
The bible clearly says he died, in all four gospels, I have four people telling me he raised, you have one telling you he didn't. Muhammad lived 300 years after Jesus and millions on milles away, the disciples lived with Jesus right next to him
