Let's imagine for a moment that we are here because of evolution. Let's take it from the top of the head and work down to the throat to see what sort of job evolution did.
There are headaches suffered by millions, brain hemorrhages, aneurysms, hair loss, dandruff, scalp itch, mental disease, panic attacks, insomnia, sleep apnea, brain cancer, pink eye, blindness, canker sores, cold sores, nearsightedness, conjunctivitis, styes, gum disorders, stuttering, nasal congestion, sinus problems, asthma, memory loss, hay fever, ringing in the ears, heartburn, acid reflux, nausea, head lice, nasal sores, acne, strep throat, epilepsy, stroke, vertigo, lockjaw, shortness of breath, skin cancer, throat cancer, overcrowding of the teeth, deafness, ear ache, tooth ache, shingles, snoring, thyroid disorders, tooth grinding, head colds, and nightmares.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg of diseases we can all get. We haven't even looked below the neck--at the heart, the blood, bones, muscles, liver, pancreas, lungs, etc.
Evolution didn't do a very good job did it? And what's more, evolution believers have no explanation for all these diseases. That's just how it is, and we have to deal with it, until death takes us.
Evolution leaves believers ignorant and utterly hopeless.
So let's stop imagining, and look at reality. The Bible says that we were made by God, and that in the beginning everything was "very good." There was no suffering, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, disease, and no death. But when sin came, it brought with it the Genesis curse. But even way back then God promised that He would redeem humanity by making a way to forgive our sins and grant us everlasting life.
So the Bible not only explains our origins, it explains why we have so much suffering, why death exists, and it offers eternal life and hope, through the gospel. Won't you please consider joining us in that glorious hope? Check out www.needGod.com
“If God created the world knowing the future, then God created/determined the future. You could not choose any other than how God created/pre-determined/destined you to ‘choose’ from the creation—.By definition, without the real possibility of choosing one way or the other, there would be no freewill/free-choice in the matter.” Mark Russell

At this moment, your liver, kidneys, heart, pancreas, salivary glands, etc., are all working to keep your body going. You don’t even have the power to switch them off and on. As you sleep tonight, your heart will pump seventy-five gallons of blood through your body each hour.
The focusing muscles in your eyes move an estimated 100,000 times each day. The retina, covering less than a square inch, contains 137 million light-sensitive cells. Even a wide-eyed Charles Darwin said, “To suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection, seems I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.”
Creation reflects the genius of the Creator’s hand. Explain how a sparrow knows it is a sparrow and stays with its kind, or how a baby knows to look into the eyes of its mother when no one has taught it to do so. How was a wasp made so that its wings flap at 100 times every second, or the house fly at 190 per second, or the mosquito at an amazing 500 times every second?
The most godless must have a sense of awe and wonder when standing beneath the mighty power of Niagara Falls, gazing into the Grand Canyon, or staring into the infinity of space. How much more should we be humbled by the Maker of these things.
The news media were blasted today for reporting that hyperrealism sculptures in the Museum of New Zealand were “made.”
The group, who called themselves WARI (“We Are Really Intelligent”), stated that they represented true science and that there was no evidence that any of these sculptures had a sculptor.
“Hi Ray Comfort, can you please tell me how you would recommend witnessing to a close relative who is a very convinced atheist, and who is dying of cancer? Many thanks.” Delphine R. Noah
We will pray for him. Maybe he will read this:
It was early in the morning. Very early. Most people in the airport looked as though they could have done with an extra week or so in bed. I was flying back from New York to Los Angeles waiting to board a plane when a tall man asked me, “What rows did they call?” I answered, “First class— the rich folks.” He smiled and said, “Yeah. The ones who should be going on their own Learjet.” I handed him a Million Dollar Bill tract and said, “Here’s the down payment on your Learjet.” When he smiled, I passed him a Department of Annoyance tract, and said, “And here’s my card.” He turned it over and to my horror began to read out loud the gospel message on the back—despite the fact that the text was printed in reverse to give me getaway time. When I quickly added, “It’s a gospel tract,” he mumbled “I’m an atheist.”
While atheism is the ultimate intellectual suicide, I can understand why some people are tempted to believe that there’s no God. The previous night I had listened to a CNN report that scientists had discovered why human beings are more intelligent than animals. I was intrigued with their assumption, and listened to how scientists believed that 20 million years ago we developed larger brains. They predicted that the human brain will continue to grow, giving us larger heads. This will mean that future generations will see more Cesarean births. I admired the newscaster’s ability to remain straight-faced.
A few minutes later, CNN reported that after a giant tsunami in Southeast Asia killed multitudes, authorities could hardly find any animals that died in the flooding. They surmised that the animals had some sort of intelligence that caused them to move to higher ground when the tsunami-causing earthquake struck. It was human beings who stayed on the beach to take pictures of the wave as it approached.
As I stood in line at the airport, the morning newspaper showed a picture of a ten-year-old piece of grilled cheese sandwich which was said to bear the likeness of the Virgin Mary. It was sold on eBay to an “intelligent” human, who paid $28,000 for it.
It is information like this that should help anyone with any intelligence to realize that humanity isn’t as intelligent as we are led to believe. While most Christians are too smart to bite into the error of Virgin Mary toast, they profess a faith that makes no sense. While watching TV in my hotel room the night before, I saw a well-known pastor talk about his book, which has sold a phenomenal 20 million copies. He said that God’s agenda for humanity was to “make our lives better.” That was a summation of his message.
Tell that to those who were burying tens of thousands of human corpses after the tsunami hit. Tell that to the fathers who hold the dead bodies of their beloved children in their arms, or to the relatives of those who died of horrific diseases. It doesn’t take much intelligence to realize that if there is a God who created all things, He must be all-powerful. Nothing is impossible for Him. He therefore could have easily prevented unspeakable agony by simply lifting His finger off the earthquake button. But He didn’t.
Yes, there is plenty of evidence (from cheese sandwiches to tsunamis) for a thinking person to conclude that a God of love who is all-powerful and wants to better the life of humanity doesn’t exist. If He did, He would immediately get a supply of good food to the starving in Africa so that their lives may be better, or at least provide some rain to grow their crops.
During that same day the tsunami hit, 150,000 other people died around the world—about 40,000 of starvation. If He wanted to make our lives better, perhaps He could also halt the parade of killer hurricanes that line up to regularly devastate the U.S., or He could slow down the hundreds of terrifying tornadoes that take precious human lives each year. Maybe He could even whisper to us a cure for the cancers that are killing millions annually, including innocent children.
A quick look at Jeremiah 9:21-24 gives the answer to this intellectual dilemma. How could God be loving and yet allow suffering? The Bible tells us that He is in control, and that He does send judgments to this earth. God is love, but He’s also just and holy and if He gave us what we deserve, the tsunami of His holiness would sweep us all into Hell.
Imagine you have knowledge that a bridge has been washed out by a terrible storm, on a dark and moonless night. You stop all approaching cars and say, “The bridge that spans a thousand-foot chasm has been washed away! Please turn your vehicle around.” The violence of the storm itself is enough to convince any thinking driver that you are speaking the truth, and those who have the sense to believe you do turn around.
Tsunamis, terrible diseases, agonizing cancers, massive earthquakes, devastating tornadoes, killer hurricanes, awful suffering, and death itself are very real and violent storms that should be enough to convince any thinking person that our warning is true.
The message of Christianity isn’t one of God wanting to better this life for humanity. It is one of warning of a terrible fate in store for those who continue on the road of sin. We are told by God’s Word that there are two deaths on the highway to Hell. The first death is when we leave the storms of this life and pass into timeless eternity. The second death is the chasm of eternal damnation. It is the terrifying justice of a holy God.
So with the cheese sandwich insanity, and the confusion about the message of Christianity, I could sympathize with my atheist friend in the airport. When he professed atheism it gave me the opportunity to humbly cite my atheist credentials. I said, “I wrote a book called God Doesn’t Believe in Atheists: Proof the Atheist Doesn’t Exist.” Then I told him that I was a platform speaker at the American Atheists’ national convention in 2001. I offered, “It’s really easy to prove God’s existence.” He replied, “It’s not healthy for me to talk about God.” I said that I could understand that, and added, “But you are a reasonable and open-minded person, so you can listen to me for two minutes.”
He gave me the okay, so I told him how he could know for sure that God existed, that God had given him a conscience and that if he even lusted after a woman, Jesus said that he had committed adultery already with her in his heart. I also mentioned that if a criminal was given a death sentence and he said to the judge, “But I don’t believe in the electric chair,” it didn’t change reality.
He politely listened, and said, “Well, I’d better board the plane.” He reached out his hand, shook mine and said, “My name is Pat.” I told him my name, watched him board, and prayed that he would read the literature that he still held in his hand— and that he would have the intelligence to believe the words of warning.
One other thing. We know that God exists for the same reason we know when we look at a building, that a builder built it. Buildings don’t build themselves. And neither did creation (Nature) make itself. That is a scientific impossibility.
“Most unsaved people don't know they need rescuing! The Bible teaches that the unbeliever doesn't know God or even want to know God! That gives it a little scarier twist! However, in witnessing, you may meet that one who is waiting and wanting to hear the Gospel, not knowing what they need, just knowing they need something!” Linda Bjork Anglin
There’s an old saying, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.” It’s not true. If you salt the horse’s oats, he will suddenly want to drink.
This sinful world needs righteousness, but it has about as much desire for it as a four year old boy has for the world “bath.”
The night of my salvation I has no desire for righteousness. None. But God’s Law put salt on my tongue. I read these words, “You have heard it said by them of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’” I nodded in affirmation. Made sense. Cool. No problem. But then I read, “But I say to you that whoever looks upon a woman to lust for her has committed adultery already with her in his heart.” I was suddenly horrified, saw my wicked heart and the impending wrath, and immediately cried, “What must I do to be made ‘right’?” I began to thirst for “righteousness.” This happened in a moment of time.
So don’t go around looking for people who are wanting to hear the gospel, because they are few and far between. Instead, do what Jesus did in Mark 10:17 and Paul did in Romans 2, and use the moral Law to put salt on the tongue of sin-loving, unconcerned sinners. The Law will make them thirst for righteousness, and embrace the gospel like a drowning man grabs a life-saver.

When Evolutionists say, "Evolution is a fact!" they might as well be saying, "Variations are a fact!" for that is all the evidence we see today from science. Yes, "variations" happen. No one is arguing with this. What we are disputing is the idea of "variations" leading to true Darwinian Evolution. This would be changing from one kind of animal into another kind of animal. When you teach this, you have stepped outside the realm of science and joined the realm of science fiction.
The eye was a headache for Darwin. But in time he was able to persuade himself that it evolved to a point of being able to see. It also evolved as a matching pair, both with lids, tear-ducts, the ability to blink, and connect with the evolving brain to make sense of what was seen.
By coincidence the same thing happened to over a million different kinds of birds, fish, animals and insects.
In truth, Darwin’s ridiculous belief was a futile excuse to try (like Adam) to hide from God, because of his guilt.
Imagine that you are looking at a luxury liner moving through calm waters. To your amazement about a dozen people jump off the ship, and cling to a lifeboat. You watch as the rest of the passengers stand on the ship and laugh at them.
You can understand their reaction. What those few people did was foolish. It made no sense. Suddenly, the ship hits an unseen iceberg and sinks, taking with it all who stayed on board. Now you see that those who seemed like fools were wise, but those who stayed on the ship and seemed to be wise, were fools.
We have in the Bible a command to jump off the luxury liner of this world. Before you laugh at stupid Christians, ask yourself if there is any proof that its claims are true. I would suggest that you take the time to read the Gospel of John, with a humble heart.
My main agenda as a Christian isn’t to intellectually prove to anyone that the Bible is the Word of God. Let’s say you’re a skeptic and I was able to convince you that Noah existed, that there was a worldwide catastrophic flood, and that he put all the “kinds” of animals on earth into a massive boat.
That’s just one small step in trying to convince you that the whole Book can be trusted. I may then still have to convince you that Adam was made from dirt, that Jonah was swallowed by a whale, that Jesus walked on water, and of many other Bible stories that are harder to swallow than Jonah’s whale.
It’s far easier for me just to share the biblical gospel and let God miraculously open blind your eyes. No one convinced me of the validity of the stories of the Bible. Rather, God supernaturally transformed me in an instant, so that I knew by experience that with Him nothing is impossible. The new birth is an undeniable personal miracle. Once that happens to you, then any other miracles are a breeze. The storm can be stopped, waves can be calmed, bread can be multiplied, and so can fish. Water can be walked on, Red Seas can be opened, lion’s mouths closed, and a stack of animals can fit into one big boat.
Major Publisher Retracts 43 Scientific Papers Amid Wider Fake Peer-review Scandal
A “peer review” is an evaluation of scientific, academic, or professional work by others working in the same field. According to the Washington Post,
“A major publisher of scholarly medical and science articles has retracted 43 papers because of ‘fabricated’ peer reviews amid signs of a broader fake peer review racket affecting many more publications.”
Here is the weak and shaky foundation upon which Darwinian evolution sits. To believers in evolution, if something is peer reviewed it is the gospel truth, and should be embraced.
The Washington Post further stated:
“With researchers increasingly desperate for recognition, citations and professional advancement, the whole peer-review system has come under scrutiny in recent years for a host of flaws and irregularities, ranging from lackadaisical reviewing to cronyism to outright fraud.”
Darwinian evolution (as Richard Dawkins likes to call it) is an outright fraud. Don’t believe it? Then watch "Evolution Vs. God," and see what the experts say (evolutionary scientists from UCLA and USC).
When liberals believe that the Constitution is a "evolving" document, they are using principles derived by a worldview which is evolutionary and also believes that man, at the top of the evolutionary process, is the "measure of all things." This is why they deliberately leave God out of our nation's history and government. Romans 1:18-23.
No sin is greater than the other.
But to say what is sin is okay.... now what kind of deception is that. There is no national campeign that yells out any other sin but same sex relations.
Do we have a fornication pride week? Parade? Do fornicators encourage teens that its okay to explore heterosexual relations, its moral and nobody should judge you? Nope.
See, we know its wrong, we do wrong anyways, if someone don't like it, oh well. We don't cry out in flamboyant drama for attention parading our confusion through downtown.
Just a thought.
Honestly, most of us don't care if you're gay, we don't care to know either.
Sure, your people are outcasts, me, personally, I'm a three time violent felon. I'm an outcast too, but I don't advertise my prison number. I don't brag about any of my wrong, or plain crazy decisions.
I just be me, and respect life. Free of suckers and their dysfunction.
How to Become an Atheist
If you are thinking of becoming an atheist, beware. The first step is easy, but it’s not so easy to walk the walk. You will have to ignore design when you can see it everywhere: in the universe, the atoms, the birds and the bees, the clouds and trees, the seasons, the human body, fish, flowers, fruits, feet, and even fungus. And of course, there is the amazing-looking human eye.
Everywhere you look and everywhere you can't look with the human eye you will see incredible design.
Now here's the really difficult part. You will need to believe that everything man-made: cars, computers, and candies were made by man, etc., but deny that everything in nature--cattle, camels, and cabbages, etc., were made at all. It came from nothing, with no Maker. Once you have done this, crown yourself as being intelligent.
Then you will need to find other atheists who believe as you do, and they will confirm to you that you are indeed intelligent.
You will also need to believe that evolution is true and that you’re an ape and therefore you are not morally responsible because apes have no moral absolutes.
Never forget to always give God a small "g," and learn believers' phrases such as "Evolution is a proven fact," and “I have no beliefs in any gods.”
Do these things, and you will be able to call yourself a "new" atheist. How cool is that! Well, not really. You can¹t be a true atheist because you need absolute knowledge to say that there is no God. Besides, you intuitively know that He exists.
Still, for sin-loving sinners the benefits of atheism are great in this life. But not the next. So you are really not an atheist, and to keep with your sinful lifestyle I guess you will just have to pretend to be one. Or you could simply check out -- www.EvolutionVsGod.com
“If I had undeniable evidence for God, I wouldn't be an atheist, now would I?” Francesco Cimmarrusti
This gentleman has highlighted the issue with atheism. They have undeniable evidence, and yet they still profess the foolishness of atheism. There’s a reason for that. First, here’s the undeniable evidence:
1. Creation: The incredible order of Nature, from the atom to the universe. It is scientifically impossible for Nature to have made itself, and it is also scientifically impossible for it to be eternal. There had to be an uncreated First Cause.
2. Conscience: The existence of the God-given, society-shaped conscience. The conscience (“with” “knowledge”) intuitively tells us that we are moral beings, separate from the animals, and therefore responsible to God.
3. Commandments: Our conscience (the “work of the Law” written on our hearts) independent of our will tells us that we have violated the Ten Commandments—showing us that we are sinners, heading for Hell.
4. Conversion: In a moment of time any “atheist” can come to know the God he only knows about, by obeying the gospel. But they refuse to because they love their sin.
Condensed from, “How to Know God Exists.”
An atheist asked, "What would a world with no God look like Ray?"
If there was no God above,
There would be no kindness, peace, and love,
There would be no fresh air for us to inhale,
No right, no wrong, no success or fail,
There'd be no rainbow spanning the skies,
There'd be no such thing as truth or lies,
There would be no brilliant sun to give us light,
No eyes designed to give us sight,
There'd be no such things as space or time,
No art, no music, no poems to rhyme,
No rain, no snow, no ocean, no birds,
No cats, no dogs, or buffalo herds
There would be no such thing as radiant color,
You would have no father and no mother,
You would have no joy, nor songs to sing,
If there was no God...there'd be nothing.
Tristan Whitefield quoted a Einstein: "I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty." Then Tristan said, "This makes more sense to me than your fiction book."
Albert Einstein was not an atheist. He hated it when atheists said that he was one of theirs. He flatly said, "I am not an atheist." However, he didn't like the fact that the God of the Bible said, "You shall not commit adultery" (see if you can figure why). So Einstein made up his own version of God—one with which he felt more comfortable. This is very common for sinful humanity. It's call "idolatry," and is a transgression of the First of the Ten Commandments: “You shall have no other gods before Me.”
Someone Said: "I was a Christian for 25 years."
Ray Answers: During your time as a Christian, did you know the Lord? If you say that you did know Him, you are admitting that God is real. If you say that you thought you did, then you didn’t, and you were never a Christian. You faked it all that time. But you are not alone. Many, if not most atheists have had false conversions and that’s why they are so adamantly anti-Christian. They heard a false gospel that said that Jesus gives joy and peace and fixes problems, and when what they think is Christianity didn’t deliver the promised goods, they became disillusioned and often bitter.

The battle against gay marriage will ultimately be lost (like the battle against abortion) unless the church and the culture return to the absolute authority beginning in Genesis. Then and only then will there be a true foundation for the correct doctrine of marriage—one man for one woman for life.
We make no apologies that we start from the position that the Bible is the history book of the universe. Yes, we have assumptions and presuppositions, such as the Bible is God’s Word and, because it was written by a perfect God, it is perfectly true and reliable. But secularists also have assumptions and presuppositions! They assume that life arose naturalistically, that supernatural explanations are not possible, that the universe is billions of years old, and that God does not exist. This is a religion! A religion of purposeless, meaningless, naturalistic atheism.
“Are you talking of the Christian God? The one that is meant to be 'all loving'?” Seth Istoga
It is common among unscrupulous debaters to create a “straw-man,” easily rip it apart, and run off declaring yourself the winner.
However, this isn’t about winning or losing a debate. It’s about where someone will spend eternity, so these issues should be addressed.
As Christians, we often have to put up with our beliefs being misrepresented through straw-man arguments, and this gentlemen has a misrepresentation in each sentence.
We are not talking about “the Christian God.” We are talking about the one and only Creator. There is only one God, and the First of the Ten Commandments begins with “You shall have no other gods before me.” Since then, man has made up millions of other gods (Hinduism has 450,000,000).
The second straw-man is to say that God is “all loving.” Nowhere in the Bible does it say such a thing. God is love and mercy, but He’s also justice and truth. To say that He is all loving is to create another god. It’s like a vicious murderer believing that the judge before whom he stands condemned, will let him go because he is “all loving.” Such a thought is ridiculous.
If a judge is a good judge, he will see to it that a murderer gets exactly what he deserves. The best of us deserve Hell in the eyes of our holy Creator, but the Scriptures tell us that God is rich in mercy and offers us Heaven.
This week was a major victory for Christ in the ongoing culture war in The United States. As dangerous and influential people pass, so will the evils of secularism and hatred of Christianity that they espoused. Star Trek as a cultural force is losing its devious grip on the youth. We are overjoyed that there are currently no television shows are being produced for a franchise that openly embraces communism and anti Christian sentiment. As Christians we find the ideas promoted in Star Trek gravely offensive and damaging to young minds who may be corrupted by something that assaults our traditional values. With a sigh of relief we say "good riddance" to Leonard Nimoy and his dangerous ideas as they both rot in hell for eternity. God's Peace! ?#?LLAP? = ?#?LiberalLiesAndPerversion?
"I didn't choose to be gay the same way you didn't choose to be straight." Jacob Cain
This argument is often used by homosexuals to try and justify their lifestyle. It says that they had no choice in the matter.
However, the "straight and gay" comparison is not a legitimate comparison. The correct (and biblical) comparison is "I didn't choose to be gay the same was you didn't choose to be an adulterer."
The Scriptures warn that adulterers, homosexuals, and fornicators will not inherit the kingdom of God. Adultery, homosexuality, and fornication are sins in God's eyes (see 1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
Being "straight" is not.
For years atheists have said that I'm scientifically ignorant because I referred to gravity as a “law.”
They also say that I continually misrepresent atheism because I say that atheists believe the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything.
Well, I'm in good company:
"Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.” Stephen Hawking
Source: “The Grand Design,” Stephen Hawking and Leonard
One of the most quoted verses from the Bible is Matthew 7:1 "Judge not!" Whenever someone speaks out against something that God calls sin, "Don't judge!" can be heard coming from a thousand lips. People don't like to have other people disapprove of the way they're choosing to live their life.
I will speak to you a hard truth. I do not write this because I think that it will bring me popularity. It won't. But it is Truth from the Word of God: the Bible.
To not tell people this is to hide the truth from them. To keep silent is to not care for their eternal destiny! I care about you, and this is why I am speaking out!
In this world, people have seared their consciences. The standard of what is "ok" or "permissible" in our society today, hardly reflects God's standard.
People are content to live on in lying, cursing, pride, anger, bitterness, disrespecting of parents, lust, pornography, fornication, adultery, and other sexual sins-- and if anyone tries to confront them, their attitude and response is, "You live your life, I'll live mine. Don't you tell me what to do! Only God can judge me!"
They don't even realize what they're saying. God's judgement isn't something to be taken lightly! It should scare you! Man's "judgement" is a 1000x lighter... usually just a voicing of disapproval. But when unbelieving, sinful men die and stand before God, He justly condemns them to hell.
But people disregard the Bible, and instead use all kinds of human logic to try to justify their way of living:
Person #1: "I've been living this lifestyle for years, and I'm a 'Christian.' I don't feel that God is angry with me. I believe in a loving God, not one who would send people to hell."
The person speaking this is right-- their god is not angry with them. He can't be, because he doesn't exist. They are not talking about the God of the Bible. They have created a god in their own mind to suit themselves. They have removed any notion of the Justice of God, and have created a god of their imagination that they can be comfortable with.
The Bible teaches that God is a Just Judge, and He must punish sin. Every one of us have broken God's law, and hell is our deserved punishment. (Unless you're reading some very distorted "translation" of the Bible, you cannot get around the fact that there is a hell).
Person #2: "I have a 'peace' about this, and I'm listening to my heart. God doesn't seem to be judging me. If God didn't approve, why wouldn't He strike me dead right now?"
First off, our human hearts are bent toward sin and not righteousness. We shouldn't follow the inclinations of our heart, but rather we know what is right and wrong according to what we find in God's Word: the Bible.
Secondly, God isn't slacking to fulfill His promised Judgement on sin--it's coming. And the only reason you're are alive right now is because He is merciful and has kept your heart beating for another day. He is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish but that all should reach repentance. But He will not hold back forever. The hours of your time here on earth are ticking away. You're not promised another day, or even another breath. God's Day of Judgement draws near. It will come as a thief in the night--when you least expect it. Everything that you have done in secret will be exposed. Nothing we do is hidden from God's view. (1 Peter 3:9&10)
This should be concerning to you. I know it was for me! When I saw myself in light of God's standard, and I knew that I fell short. But I found hope in the Gospel-- the "good news" of Jesus Christ! I would still be lost today were it not for His grace!
Read what God has done so that you and I might be forgiven of our sins and saved from the punishment we deserve:
16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.
20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.
21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God."
John 3:16-21
Repent! Turn away from sin, and to Jesus Christ today! Be saved from the wrath to come.
The believing man has Christ's perfect record put to their account.
God gives him a new heart and new desires.
If you find yourself a sinner in need of Jesus, then open your Bible today and begin to read the books of John and Romans. Let the Word of God root out the sins of your heart. Do not let up until you have found Salvation for your soul!
12,000 Reasons to Believe the Bible is the Word of God
I woke up with a head cold today. As usual, I said to myself, "This one doesn't seem too bad."
After going through a box of tissues I resigned myself to it being bad. Next will come the blocked dose (sp. deliberate), having to sleep with an open mouth to be able to breathe, then comes the cough, which comes in a variety of categories.
There's the drive-you-crazy tickle. The painful "hack." Then there's the one that waits until you are about to drift off to sleep that causes you to cough until your lungs are turned inside out, and then some.
And this is just the everyday good old common cold we all get regularly, for no real reason.
According to the WHO (not the rock group)--the World Health Organization, there are approximately 12,000 disease categories [1].
That's 12,000 reasons to believe the Bible when it says that we live in a fallen creation, under the Genesis curse.

Charlotte Dawson, a popular Australian celebrity committed suicide last year. She'd been battling depression for 14 years, after having an abortion. She hung herself.
"In the book, 'Air Kiss and Tell,' she revealed she had had an abortion with her former husband, Olympic swimmer Scott Miller, so that he would not have any distractions in the lead up to the Sydney Olympics....Ms. Dawson wrote that she was alone when she had the termination. In the book she wrote that this was her first experience with depression — a battle she continued to fight for the next 14 years[1]."
The human conscience is incredibly powerful. It drives people to drink, to "religion"(which doesn't help), and to the tragedy of suicide. I believe one of the reasons so many women are so militant about abortion, is that they are still trying to justify the killing of their unborn. If they can somehow show that abortion is the right of women and not murder, then there's no reason to feel the pangs of guilt.
That's why we need to proclaim the Gospel to this world. These people need repentance and faith in Jesus, because they have taken the life of another human being. The moment they are born-again, God will wash them clean of all sin and of the guilt that plagued them. Every Christian knows that through experience.
"I personally was indoctrinated, baptized and raised by passive Christians. In my preteen years I took up religious studies as a hobby, mainly looking for answers. Atheism was the result, not a choice." Tyler Flood
Let me rephrase this a little so that it makes sense:
"I personally did everything 'Christian,' except I didn't come to know the Lord. When I hit my teenage years the hormones kicked in, and suddenly the female form sure looked better to me than Noah and his silly Ark.
"So I became an atheist. I pretended that nothing created everything, and joyfully followed my overwhelmingly sinful desires. The result has been the temporal but wonderful pleasures that come with sin. I choose them above God's promise of everlasting life."
Here’s one word atheists will have to drop from their vocabulary:
"goodbye"
Origin: from godbwye (16th Century)--God be with ye
“Ray. There is a clip of you on various shows asking how did a recently blind dog find the first female dog. You cannot claim you do understand it. In EVERY of your debates you showed you do not understand it.” John Milk
At some point in the supposed evolutionary process, the ancient ancestors of what we now call “dogs” evolved eyes that could see. Before that, their underdeveloped evolving eyes couldn't function. Unless you think that this pre-dog creature was instantly given eyes, you are stuck with a blind pre-canine creature, despite your protest that I don’t understand it.
If I’m wrong, explain to me in very simple language—where and how did today’s dogs get their eyes?
And while you are at it, explain how it is that we have millions of species--all with male and female, all reproducing after their own kind—just as the Bible says. All I ever hear from evolution believers is "Evolution did-it." That’s not good enough for me. Please don’t send me 2000 links to atheist rabbit trails.
(in response to Evolution vs. God)
Well done! I use to be an atheist. I am an engineer. My hobby use to be to read anything I can get my hands on relating to quantum physics, computers, Einstein, Hawking. I am now a creationist with faith in the Bible as the Word of God. I have never known or observed or spoke with anyone who observed the big bang or a Black Hole or a species linking us to apes. I trusted authors and scientists and teachers. I took their word on the subject of science and watched as they used their authority to preach nonsense evolution. I was comfortable in my Belief of this doctrine and I say this: Our God as Creator has never made more sense to me. Do you BELIEVE in evolution? Change your beliefs because your evidence is non-existence.
An atheist asked where God was, when a man was recently caged and set on fire by Muslim terrorists.
To answer this, we will have to set aside his atheistic worldview. He doesn't believe that this was evil, because we are all just random animals that came about by accident, and there’s therefore no ultimate right or wrong. This was merely typical of what happens thousands of times each day in the animal kingdom--the stronger of the species survives.
Let’s instead adopt the Christian worldview and believe that this was indeed evil. The atheist’s point then, is that if God is good and this was evil, He should have intervened with perhaps a bolt of lightning and killed the murderers before the murder took place.
While we are telling God what He should do, we should remind Him that over 400,000 people are murdered across the world each year. Many of those are by burning, drowning, suffocation, bombing, stabbing, shooting, strangling, poisoning, decapitation, and hammers to the head.
Then there are the “honor” killings of Islam, the Hindu wives who are burned alive with their dead husbands, vicious rapists, drunk drivers who slaughter the innocent, drug pushers, child molesters, and those who kill millions of babies through abortion each year. So it looks like if we get God to do something about evil, there’s going to be a lot of killing.
Actually, that’s His ultimate plan. He has set aside a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness. That will be a day of swift eternal justice that is going to be so thorough, the Bible warns it will also include all liars, thieves, adulterers, fornicators, homosexuals, and even every idle word we have spoken.
So be patient. Ultimate justice is coming. That’s why we need a Savior.
This One Will Stir Some Demons...
According to the “International Journal for the Psychology of Religion,” a team from the University of Finland recently connected a small number of atheists to a lie detector and had them read aloud statements like, "I dare God to make me die of cancer." The study said that each of them broke into a sweat that was picked up by the lie detector.
Years ago we used a lie detector in one of our TV programs, and through it I learned something interesting. The machines are incorrectly referred to as "lie detectors." They don’t detect lies. They detect the voice of the human conscience--that God-given, society-shaped knowledge of right and wrong. When a lie is told, the conscience produces an involuntary sense of dread, and that raises the heart-rate, producing detectable sweat on the skin surface.
The University of Finland team concluded, “The results imply that atheists' attitudes toward God are ambivalent in that their explicit beliefs conflict with their affective response.”
In other words the detector said that they were lying when they said that they knew of no evidence for the existence of God.
So never believe it when an atheist uses his carefully constructed confession of faith--“I have no belief in any gods." We know through scripture that he knows that the Creator exists:
“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse—” (Romans 1:20).
You need not convince him of God’s existence. He already knows that. You need rather to convince him of his mortal danger.
When Homosexual actor and author, Stephen Fry was recently asked what he would say to God if he faces Him after death, his answer was, “I’d say, bone cancer in children? What’s that about? How dare you? How dare you create a world to which there is such misery that is not our fault. It’s not right, it’s utterly, utterly evil."
Let's help this atheist bolster his case against God, by broadening his argument a little. It's not only bone cancer that kills children. They also get brain, blood, and lung cancer, suffocate from asthma, die from Ebola and of heart problems. Millions of children have also died of pneumonia, diarrhea, hepatitis, tuberculosis, and a thousand and one other diseases.
Then there are the hundreds of thousands of children who have been killed in earthquakes, floods, famines, tornadoes, tsunamis, and hurricanes.
God has also let children become sex slaves and be used in pornography, have bombs strapped to them by terrorists, and allowed millions to be murdered in Nazi Germany and in hundreds of other wars.
Then there are those children who have died through Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and the millions who are slaughtered each year through legalized abortion.
Mr. Atheist, if you really want an explanation as to why there is so much disease, endless suffering, injustice, and death, read your Bible. It will tell you that God did not create the world as it is, and it is us who are guilty of sin.
But, you're an atheist, so you don't believe God's Word or heed His sober warning of Hell. So you are stuck with what the Bible calls a willful ignorance.
One other thing. The Scriptures will also show you that there's no greater delusion of grandeur nor any greater arrogance, than for sinful man to stand in moral judgment over Almighty God. But if you remain as you are, you will find that out when you face Him.
I feel intellectually embarrassed when I hear anyone say that atheism is even slightly intellectual. It is just the opposite. Atheism is unreasonable, irrational, illogical, and, for want of a better word childishly stupid.
An atheist is infinitely less intelligent than a mindless man, who believes that a massively complex and inanimate 747 jumbo jet engine created itself. At least such a brainless person believes that there were ingredients to fall together in the first place.
But the atheist goes so much further into foolishness. He believes that there was nothing in the beginning, and that non-existent nothing created itself into everything. Then they crown themselves as intelligent.
No wonder the Bible calls such a person a "fool," and that the father of science, Sir Isaac Newton, said "Atheism is so senseless."
“Mr. Comfort, what are your thoughts on Dan Barker who was a former Christian evangelist, a graduate from a well-known Christian University, and a missionary who served in other countries... Only to announce his new belief in atheism after 19 years in the faith?” Victor Daniel Gonzalez
Dan and I had an email exchange many years ago. When he told me that he had been a Christian for 19 years, I asked him, “How did you manage to fake it for 19 years when Judas only managed 3 ½ years?" He said that if I ever contacted him again, there would be serious repercussions.
By coincidence we were placed together on a talk show some years later, and he was very gracious.
I sent him a gift basket once to let him know I cared about him. However, like Judas, He did fake it for all those years by maintaining he knew the Lord when he didn't. He’s not alone. Our churches are filled with people who are strangers to biblical repentance, because they haven’t seen their sin in its true light.
There are few in this country that have done more to try and hinder people coming to Christ than Dan. It’s my earnest prayer that he is truly converted before he passes into eternity.
I want to publicly thank popular atheist, Jaclyn Glenn, for the exposure she has given to "Evolution Vs. God." Her first review received over 650,000 views.
No doubt most of those who watched were atheists. God only knows how many backslid because of her disastrous effort at damage-control.
The first review didn't work so she tried again, and this one has had over 190,000 views.
Watch Jaclyn go into panic-mode as the sacred cow of Darwinian evolution is shown to have no scientific basis.
This is because it's not me that couldn't find evidence for the belief. It was four leading evolutionary scientists (from USC and UCLA) that are floundering. So her frustration is understandable.
If you watch, be ready for her potty-mouth (see Proverbs 11:22).
The person who believes that there are no consequences to sin is like a man who thinks he can fly, and jumps a 150 story building to prove it.
As he nears the ground he yells "See, I'm flying!"
"Except not every animal has males or females. Which Genesis neglects to mention. Why is that, Ray?" Cory Kent
Do you really think slugs and snails are "animals." They are not. They are what are termed “invertebrates,” which means they lack a backbone. They belong to a large and highly diverse group of invertebrates known as the Phylum Mollusca. You had better read Genesis again.
Homosexuality is an abomination to God . They are made thru molestation,not born that way. That's the only way it multiplies . We as American Christians have allow this to spread thru a weak watered down message from the pulpits. Oh where are the national Christian leaders, that will fearlessly stand up for God and His Word!
By ballot, legislature and/or brute force. It must be done.
“Ray you are quite sick minded person. Thank you for telling me how I think and then on that assumption deem me to Hell. Then tell me that the guy who sexually assaulted the 4 year old girl (Wales, UK), chopped her up and disposed of her body in the furnace can go to Heaven because he can 'repent'. Do you know what, I don't want to go to Heaven if it is full of lying repenting rapists and murderers." - Philip W.
Ray Comfort: "It's understandable that you are angered by such a hennas crime. And so you should be. It reveals something about your character. You feel that way, not because you are an animal as a result of evolution. If that was the case, all life is merely the survival of the fittest and what happened to that little girl was simply the lion devouring the baby antelope. Rather, you are made in the image of God, with a sense of right and wrong and a craving for justice when there is evil. Cultivate that indignation, it’s what makes you different from the animals and it’s what makes justice work. Now multiply that anger a million times and you will get a glimpse of the indignation of Almighty God against evil. He is wrath-filled at murderers, rapists, liars, thieves, adulterers, and fornicators, as well as those who hate, lust, covet, etc. Hell is waiting as God's place of just punishment for all who have done evil in His morally pure eyes. That’s why you need a Savior."
“I think abortion is wrong, and terribly sad (for lack of better terms) and I would never have one. I also think that it's not my place to tell other women what they can and can't do with their babies and their bodies— I just think with abortion, it's nobody's business except the woman who will be having the procedure. Yes, it's sad and there are usually other options. No, I would never have one. BUT, we're talking about other women here. Does this make sense??” Emily Wells
I was pleased to see that you concluded with “Does this make sense?”
To answer your question:
“I think the killing of Jews is wrong and terribly sad (for lack of a better term), and I would never kill one myself. But I think it's not my place to tell people what they can and can’t do with Jewish families. I just think with Jew-killing, it's nobody's business except the person who will be doing the killing. Yes, it's sad and there are usually other options. No, I would never kill one. BUT, we're talking about other people here. Does that make sense?"
PLEASE watch www.180Movie.com It will answer your question more fully. It’s award-winning and has had millions of views. It will be worth your time.
[under one of Ray's posts claiming that atheists don't care about Cain's wife]
“(The Bible) gives us the basis for all creation, and it passes the scientific method, It’s observable – Genesis – and testable. Evolution is not. You can’t observe something 60 million years old, but you can observe what Genesis says.” Does this makes sense to you?
Before I was a Christian I was a little confused as to whether or not I should eat animals (not that that stopped me). I was confused because I hadn’t read the human Instruction Book.
When I became a Christian I found the instructions. The Bible told me that cows were made by God to give us meat, milk, cheese, butter [as well as Greek style yogurt with honey—and of course, ice cream]. Cows were also created to give us leather for jackets, coats, bags, belts and high quality shoes.
Sheep were made to give us meat to eat, and wool for sweaters, hats, gloves and carpets. Dogs were created as man’s best friend (after women), the horse of course is for riding, giraffes just stand around for us to be amazed at the incredible creative imagination of God. And cats—well, I guess they‘re for people who don’t like dogs.
Until the world opens the Instruction Book of Holy Scripture it won’t have a clue where it came from, will have no ultimate purpose for existence, nor will it know how to find everlasting life and avoid the damnation of Hell—unless we tell them:
"How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?" (Romans 10:14).
"How do you explain to unbelievers who think that God is hateful etc, the 'violence' and 'slavery' in the Old Testament, that God is loving, just, kind etc?" Jo Lee
This is a hill upon which to die, particularly for the atheist. The argument is that if God can be proven to be evil, then He has no right to judge the world on Judgment Day. If he can prove that God is wicked, then in his own mind, he can justify his darling sins--pornography, lust, fornication, adultery, homosexuality, etc.
It is because he is secretly trying to cover his sins that you will rarely give him an answer with which he agrees. Seldom will you hear, "Wow! I never knew that. That's very helpful. Thank you. I will now seek after God and soften my heart to the gospel."
If you explain the slavery issue he will run to the issue of violence in the Old Testament (or in the New Testament). If you expound the fact that God is extremely violent in His passion for justice, and that “every one of His judgments are righteous and true altogether," you can be sure he will ask about God not healing amputees, or ask who it was who "made" God.
You must keep clear the commission given to you by Jesus--to preach the gospel to every creature. You are not called to defend the character of God any more than a prosecutor needs to defend the character of a judge to a depraved criminal. God's not the one who will be on trial on Judgment Day. He is, so make sure you don’t run down every rabbit trail that he’s designed to take you away from the issue at hand.
For the sake of the person to whom you are speaking, you have to turn the spotlight off the morally perfect Judge. Then you have to turn it onto the deluded, sin-loving, self-deceiving, self-righteous guilty and depraved sinner, who has the insane impudence and outrageous audacity to point his crooked holier-than-thou finger at Almighty God, and accuse Him of sin.
The crazy irony is that if you ask for specificity as what violent acts God supposedly committed, he will probably point to the Noah flood and say that God "drowned” millions of babies. That's when you ask him if the incident really happened. If he says it did, then, as an atheist, he's saying that God is real and He did send the Noah flood. So he's blown his cover—he’s not an atheist. This is exactly what is said in Romans chapter one. Every human being intuitively knows the Creator exists.
If he holds onto to his atheism and says that God doesn't exist and the Bible is full of myths, then why is he upset? There was no flood and no babies drowned. That's like someone being upset because Cinderella’s fairy godmother turned the coach back into a pumpkin because she didn't get back by midnight.
You started the game, so you call the play. Never forget that. When you want to share the gospel with someone you believe in heading for Hell, don't let him go where they want you to go. If he has a sincere question, answer it, but do so with one eye on the cross. That's where you are heading. If you are not sure how to answer questions asked by the unsaved, you will find 200 of the most commonly asked questions in "The Evidence Bible."
A number of people have asked for my thoughts on Spurgeon's, "I do not know why ridicule is to be given up to Satan as a weapon to be used against us, and not to be employed as a weapon against him."
Those who have studied Spurgeon's amazing sermons will know that he often used sanctified humor and sarcasm to drive home powerful truths.
His suggestion that ridicule be used "against him" is probably used in the same way someone might ask, "Why should the devil have all the good music?" It is a general reference to the sinful world...those scripture says are blinded by the god of this world and are taken captive to do his will.
For example, I believe that atheism is "ridiculous" in the truest sense of the word. It should be ridiculed. This is because the belief that "there is no evidence for a god" is indeed intellectual suicide, a deliberate and willful ignorance of God-given common sense.
To call atheism "intellectual" (when the Bible calls the professing atheist nothing but a "fool") or to refer to Darwinian evolution as "scientific," is to heap fuel on their smoldering fires of conceit.
It is like saying a man is intelligent, who puts his precious life in jeopardy by injecting an illicit drug into his bloodstream. He is a fool of the worst kind, and you would do him a favor by saying such to his unthinking face. That may bring him to his senses.
Bob Solo asked Ray Comfort: How do you know your relationship with God is real?
Ray Comfort's answer: First, I know He is real because the alternative is to believe the impossibility that nothing created everything. Creation (nature) tells us that there is a Maker. I then know that my relationship with Him is real because He transformed my life in an instant. In a moment I was “born again,” with a deep love for my Creator, when I didn’t give Him one second’s serious thought in the entire 22 years of my godless life. That fact blew me away and 40 years later it still leaves me with my mouth open.
There are many other ways to know that my relationship with Him is real (the dead and dry Bible coming alive, its prophecies substantiating its inspiration, a love for other Christians I didn’t have before, an all-consuming desire to do what pleases God, a hatred for the sin I once loved, etc.) But it all comes down to trust rather than subjectivity, and that childlike trust rests on this immutable biblical foundation: “It is impossible for God to lie.” He is faithful. Start with that premise and you won’t go wrong.
I like what pastor Steven Anderson said, if we want an aid's free Christmas, all we have to do is put Leviticus 20:13 in action and have our government start putting sodomites to death.
===
As for our Government killing sodomites, yes, this is the right way to go. Sodomites are predators and pedophiles who destroy society and harm innocent people. This is what Romans 1 says about them. "Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
===
I am not going to kill anyone, nor am I urging other Christians to kill anyone. I am saying our GOVERNMENT should kill sodomites because they are evil. And yes, they are all pedophiles.
===
I am aware that not everyone who has aids is a sodomite. I am not saying our government should kill everyone who has aids, I am saying our government should kill all sodomites, which would largely reduce the amount of people with aids, and would stop aids from spreading.
===
Pedophiles are not heterosexual, they are bi sexual, which is included in the word "sodomite", The basic fact is that getting ride of sodomites will reduce the amount of aids in the World and will stop them from spreading. I am actually going to leave this conversation up, because I think people can learn from it, but I am not going to allow anymore comments. If you want to talk more you can message us.
===
Oh yea a big difference, that why most pedophiles pray on females right? You also need to realize that just because someone is married and has children does not rule out the fact that they are a sodomite, most sodomites are bi anyway.
