Someone sent this to us. I'm not sure if it is computer animated.

For those of you who like dogs...

This is my buddy--Sam.

Ami said "Ray cares about you BECAUSE our God does." Zoonomia responded with "I'll believe that when I get a gift certificate for a restaurant in the mail signed 'from God.' I won't have to send him my address either--being omniscient, he should know where I live."

You already have your gift from God. He gave you (temporary) life. But I’m sure you think that your parents gave it to you, and their parents gave them life, and their parents gave them their life. Right back to Adam.

No matter what you believe, everything you have--your eyes, your incredible brain, the life-giving blood that runs through your veins, the amazing lungs that are preprogrammed to draw in oxygen-filled air, come to you by the goodness of God.

But to be more specific, everything you seem to have is in truth on loan from God, and He will take them back one day.

You also already have the signature you are wanting. It is your conscience. His moral Law has been written by His hand on your mind--you know right from wrong and you have the knowledge that you are morally accountable to God.

You are right about Him knowing your address. He knows you by name, where you live, the thoughts that run through your mind, and even how many hairs are upon your head. See Matthew 10:30.

I hope you enjoy your meal and that you thank God for His kindness. Think of how amazingly kind He has been to you, despite the fact that you haven’t loved Him as you are commanded to--with all of your heart, mind, soul, and strength. That's called "grace."

It's HERE! The first episode of Season Four.

It's here!
It’s here! London--the first of 13 episodes of Season Four.


Join Ray Comfort and his faithful team as they travel across thirteen countries in just thirteen days, witnessing to individuals and preaching open-air to crowds in each country. In this 13-DVD series, you will be intrigued as you see members of the team being held by Italian police, as they preach outside the famed Notre Dame in beautiful Paris, and as an angry and drunken crowd becomes unruly when they hear the gospel in Belgium. Watch as the team witnesses to the lost at Germany’s infamous Oktoberfest and in the bars of liberal Amsterdam. This unique and exciting adventure across the nations of Europe is hosted by Kirk Cameron.


The journey begins in Charles Spurgeon’s backyard: London. Not only was it the hometown of “The Prince of Preachers,” but it was also the stomping ground of other great open-air preachers such as John Wesley and George Whitefield. The capital of England is soaked in history and is filled with colorful figures. In this exciting episode hosted by Kirk Cameron, you will meet "Caroline," a captivating character you won't easily forget.

Sneak Peek to London Episode


Note: Season Four won’t be airing on any networks until 2011.

The cost of the London DVD is only $7.50 (comes with “extras”).

I found this on a blog...

"Hey fellas, did you hear that Ray Comfort is offering a free lobster dinner to any atheist who mails him a postcard? Details are on his blog. Sounds like an old Gestapo trick to me. Ray must be compiling the names and addresses of all the atheists in America into a database."

1. There's no need for a postcard (where did he get that?)
2. We are not keeping your addresses. Why would I do that anyway? So I could one day write you a letter? I can say what I want, directly to you--on my blog. Will I one day show up at your house and have you arrested for not believing in God?

This is America. Men and women shed their blood so you could be free to believe as you wish.

One more thought, for those (few) of you who are a little paranoid about sending addresses. I sent out over 300 books (and gift certificates) to atheists over a year ago. Ask any of them if I have harassed them, or followed them up in any way. Then again, you may believe that they are just part of the conspiracy...

"Red Lobster Ray really? Leviticus 11:12: 'Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.'" Wait What

"Ray: 'Wait What...could you explain to me why you think that atheists are subject to the dietary laws of another nation, from 3,000 years ago?'"

"It sounds silly when you put it like that. I guess the question now is why you think people today are subject to the moral laws of another nation from 3,000 years ago." Chris B.

Good question Chris. The dietary laws were given only to Israel. For example, God explained why His people should eat a cow but not a horse, a duck but not a swan, etc. He explains what animals are clean and those that are unclean (lobsters eat the trash on the sea floor), what clothes to wear (mixing wool and cotton cause us to sweat), etc.

These things have nothing to do with anyone’s salvation. They were for the well-being and health of Israel, and to set them apart from all the nations of the world.

However, the moral Law (You shall not kill, commit adultery, steal, etc.), was given through Israel to the whole world (see Romans 3:19-20). It is the moral Law that we will stand before and be judged by on the Day of Judgment (see Romans 2:12, James 2:12).

We get a glimpse of the Law’s perfect standard through the words of Jesus on the Sermon on the Mount. He said that the Seventh Commandment is violated when we look with lust (see Matthew 5:27-28), that the eighth is broken through anger, etc. The purpose of the Law is simply to show us that we need God’s mercy, and that is available though the suffering death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Without God's mercy the Law will justly damn us in Hell.

Free meal details

Some of you have asked how many responded to the offer of a free dinner. We capped it at 81 responses (last time there were 14).

There were a number of people complaining about Red Lobster being an "abomination" (referring to the Book of Leviticus). So we thought that we would give you a choice of where to eat.

We will be sending out vouchers that allow you to choose to eat at either Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse or Season 52. It is because of this change that these will now be mailed out to you next week. Thank you.

For those of you who are saying I won't keep my word...

The attraction of the earth

"Ray you don't know the first thing about science. You're the guy who thought falling violated Gravity." BathTub

Physics.about.com says: "Newton's law of gravity defines the attractive force between all objects that possess mass. Understanding the law of gravity, one of the fundamental forces of physics, offers profound insights into the way our universe functions." So, I’m not the only one who believes that there is such a thing as "the law of gravity," and if it's a law, it can be violated.

If you hit the ground at 120 mph from 1,000 feet, you will suffer the consequences of violating what physics.about.com calls the law of gravity. If you will remember the context in which I called gravity a law--I said that if you break the law of gravity, you will suffer the consequences, and if you violate God’s Law you will suffer the consequences--"The soul that sins, it shall die."

You would say that if someone hit the ground at 120 mph it was because the earth attracted them, and they of course were unwillingly attracted to it. Both explanations are right, but for the sake of the analogy I was using, mine makes more sense.

Then again, God’s Law will one day arrest you and punish you for transgressing its precepts, (in the same way that civil law is "attracted to" and arrests a murderer). You will of course be an unwilling participant, and try vainly to escape. So your explanation would work, in that context.

I hope my explanation helps, and that because of it you will be able to move onto other reasons as to why you think I know nothing about science.

P.S. Milo said, "If anything, you seem to mean if you ignore or disregard the law of gravity there will be consequences."

Okay. I was wrong. Please forgive me. I will change it to make my point. If you ignore the law of gravity, there will be consequences, and it you ignore the Law of God (or pretend that it doesn’t exist), you will suffer the consequence of eternal damnation. Thanks Milo for your help.

Red Lobster dinner

Due to the overwhelming response for a free dinner at Red Lobster (for atheists), we have had to cap it.

That's it.

We have run out of money.

We will mail them out tomorrow and you should get the vouchers in a week or so.

Thanks for your understanding.

"Except there is plenty of evidence for the theory of evolution, no matter how much you blog about it. Evolution happens right around you. Do you deny that new strains of bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics? Guess how that happens Ray."

I am continually being accused for not being educated on the theory of evolution, but most of its believers haven't any idea what it's about. Bacteria developing new strains of bacteria isn't evidence for evolution. The bacteria is still bacteria, no matter how resistant it becomes to antibiotics.

This is all believers have--bacteria that is still bacteria. This would be humorous if this was all that was involved, but it’s not. Evolutionists add to their belief the insanity of atheism (that nothing created everything), and then gamble their eternity on their misguided faith.

The proof that there is a God, is creation. You cannot have a creation without a Creator. Still, the believer in evolution uses abiogenesis and mutations to try and justify the insanity of non-life gave birth to life.

The clear reasoning of a building being proof that there is a builder, doesn't work for them. This is because they believe that a building is inanimate. It can't reproduce of itself because it's not alive. Yet at the same time the atheist is surrounded by inanimate objects that came from somewhere--the entire soil of the earth, the variety of its rocks, its oceans, snow-covered mountains, the clouds, the sun, the moon, and the stars are inanimate. Yet the atheist believes that they all created themselves, then reproduced. Sure.

Free dinner

We would like to treat atheists to a free dinner at Red Lobster.

For those of you who have said that you would rather that we send the money to Haiti, we have already done that just after the earthquake. This is a small gift from Sue and myself for those of you who are feeling the economic pinch in this country, and you would like to go out for a free meal.

It’s not a publicity stunt (it would be a pretty pathetic one). There is no ulterior motive. We care about you and want to show that our love is not just words. We won’t enclose a gospel tract, follow up with literature, or show up at your door for a meal. Neither will we keep your address or sell it to some mailing list.

I think that covers most of the bases.

For those of you who said nasty things about this offer, you are still welcome to send your name and address. It’s only for atheists, it is confined to the United States, and expires on March 1st. Please format your name and address as you would on an envelope (3-4 lines, caps/lower case, etc.) and send it to: loveatheists@livingwaters.com

"I didn't see Ray in that bar.....What's handing out play money have to do with the national debt? How many of those people were saved? It must suck to be in a business where one cannot quantify the success of the enterprise. Froggie"

Play money? We should have had you there when the Secret Service seized 8,000 of our Million Dollar bill tracts, saying that they looked too much like the real thing (that they were counterfeit).

See: http://www.christiancinema.com/catalog/newsdesk_info.php?newsdesk_id=222

How many were saved? God knows. He keeps the record. I don’t. Still, it is a good question, so here’s my answer. What you see as business I see as ministry. What you see as failure, I see as success. I am simply planting seed in the hope that it will fall on good soil (a humble heart).

I’m hoping that you, Mr. Froggie, will some day find everlasting life in Christ, something I may never know until eternity is upon us. In the meantime I will keep sowing seed and loving you guys.

Speaking of loving you guys--it might be nice to give away restaurant gift vouchers to atheists again. Anyone interested?

This is not a publicity stunt. There is no ulterior motive. Sue and I pay for these personally, and we don’t follow up with correspondence or show up at your door for dinner. This offer is restricted to within the U.S.

Caught in a bar...

Misplaced trust

"Rabbitpirate said...Let's play 'One of these things is not like the others'. Ok here we go: 1. Trust in Doctors, 2. Trust in Banks, 3. Trust in Pilots, 4. Trust in Mechanics, 5. Trust in God. Which of those things is not like the others? And the answer is....Number 5, Trust in God. All the others are based upon some form of evidence that allows them to demonstrate that they are trustworthy. A untrustworthy Bank would not get much business. An untrustworthy doctor would not get a lot of patients. However with God the trust is not based upon evidence but upon faith. You have faith that God is worthy of trust."

RabbitPirate...I ask respectfully--what planet do you live on? You said that "an untrustworthy doctor would not get a lot of patients." Don't you know that doctors bury their mistakes? Medical mistakes are the eighth leading cause of death in the U.S.

You said that an untrustworthy bank would not get much business. They don't need it. They get bailouts.

Do you trust pilots? Did you know that most plane crashes are caused by “pilot error”?

Then there's your faith in car mechanics and manufacturers. Do you have faith in Toyota's mechanics?

You trust everyone but God, and yet He has never let one person down, ever. He is utterly faithful. If you don’t trust Him, that is a flaw in your character, not His.

However, I can think of no greater example of misplaced trust than the faith that believers have in the theory of evolution. They are an example of "blind" faith, with no need for any empirical evidence. The only "evidence" they have is a belief that what they have read or have been told, is true.

The seven most important questions you will ever ask...

Cont.
7. How can I be sure of my salvation?
The reality of your salvation will be directly in proportion to the authenticity of your repentance. If you fake it, you will certainly have a false conversion and eventually fall away from the faith.[1] That was the experience of Judas Iscariot, and you don’t want to follow in his steps.

The false convert (the hypocrite) is like a Christmas tree. He may look healthy and have ornamentation, but because he has no root, in time he will whither and die. But if you are "rooted and grounded"[2] as a Christian, you will grow in time (again, see Psalm One).

The bottom line will be your attitude to sin. For many people, lust is extremely pleasurable, and therefore probably the most difficult sin from which we turn. The unsaved world is mystified as to why any sane person would deny himself such pleasure. But, as a Christian, you know something the world doesn’t.

More than likely you love chocolate. You would be crazy to stop eating it--unless your doctor told you that were extremely allergic to it, and that the smallest amount would instantly kill you. Then you would have a good reason to keep it from your lips, despite the pleasure it would bring.

The Bible makes it clear that lust will kill you and then damn you in Hell:

"You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell" . . . "Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death" (Matthew 5:27-29, James 1:15).

So every time lust sweetly calls your name, you have a choice--to play the hypocrite and follow sin to death and Hell, or follow righteousness to everlasting life. Remember, any self-denial from sin doesn’t earn salvation. It’s simply evidence that you have truly been converted.

If you are a Christian, God promises that anything that life throws at you can only come by His permission. He will allow it because it will benefit you. That doesn’t mean that when it rains you won’t get wet. Lightning falls on the just and the unjust. It simply means that in the light of eternity, God will work every situation to your good.[3] Christianity doesn’t promise a smooth flight. But it does guarantee a safe landing.

In 1413, John Huss was summoned to appear before the Roman church council in Constance.[4] When he was thrown into a prison for nineteen months awaiting trial for his faith and then sentenced to death, he no doubt knew that God would work things out for his good. When he was burned alive at the stake and his charred, lifeless body fell among the ashes, the wonderful promise that God would work out for his good such an unspeakable horror remained unwavering.

On November 9th, 2006, "three Christian high school girls were beheaded as a Ramadan 'trophy' by Indonesian militants who conceived the idea after a visit to Philippine jihadists, a court heard. The girls' severed heads were dumped in plastic bags in their village in Indonesia's strife-torn Central Sulawesi province, along with a handwritten note threatening more such attacks. The note read: ‘Wanted: 100 more Christian heads, teenaged or adult, male or female; blood shall be answered with blood, soul with soul, head with head.'"[5]

In Malatya, Turkey, April 18th 2007, three Christian men who were working in a Bible Publishing office were accosted by Moslems who had only days earlier attended their Christian Easter services. Their hands and feet were bound and they were tortured with butcher knives (for two hours), and finally had their throats cut. Each of the murderers carried a note saying "We did this for our country. They were attacking our religion."[6]

In each and every case of horrific persecution, those who love God and are called to His purposes can stand on the wonderful assurance that He will work all things out to their good.

In closing, look at how this Christian mother’s faith holds her in a fiery trial (she wrote to our ministry about a gospel tract):

"In June my breast cancer became advanced bone cancer and this tract has been an excellent tool to share as I give my testimony in churches or just one on one. I have 6 children so God has given our family a 'megaphone' through this cancer diagnosis which is opening many doors to point others to Jesus . . . I am asking permission to make copies of 'I Have A Problem' tract to use in upcoming events. I am attending a woman's retreat at the first of February . I will be at the back of the room on a sick bed. This will certainly allow me to briefly interact with many who come my way to pray for me and I for them! Bone cancer is really painful and debilitating. This attracts interest. I do not want to waste my cancer! MY HEART'S DESIRE IS TO POINT OTHERS TO JESUS!"

So don’t trust in Jesus because you are afraid of what tomorrow will bring. Trust in Him because you are a sinner and you need a Savior on the day of Judgment. We don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but even death itself cannot separate us from Him , look at this wonderful promise from the Word of God. Read it purposely, meditate on it thoughtfully, memorize it, and then believe it with all of your heart:

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For your sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:35-39)

Seven of the most important questions you will ever ask...

Cont.
6. Is the Bible reliable?
The early Christians didn’t have a "Bible," as we know it. The New Testament wasn’t compiled. There was no such thing as the printing press. Few could read. Their salvation wasn’t dependent upon the owing or even believing the Bible, but upon their relationship with the person of Jesus Christ . They heard a spoken message, believed it, put their trust in the living risen Jesus, and were converted by the power of the unseen God.

That was in the first century. In 1972 AD, I had a similar experience. After I was converted, I picked up a Bible and it confirmed my experience. I was experiencing a peace that I couldn’t understand, and felt clean on the inside. It was as though I was a completely new person. I had a sudden love for God, and couldn’t stop thinking about Jesus and what He had done on the cross. I was amazed to read in Scripture about a "peace that passes all understanding," that if any man is in Christ he is a "new creature," that "the love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts," and that the Holy Spirit points the believer to Jesus. Again, the Bible didn’t convert me; it simply confirmed my experience, and became an instruction book for me to know God’s will.

The New Testament was written in Greek, which is a far more complex language than English. The Amplified Bible expounds the original language so that we can understand its true meaning. Here is a key promise from Jesus, translated directly from the Greek:

"The person who has My commands and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I [too] will love him and will show (reveal, manifest) Myself to him. [I will let Myself be clearly seen by him and make Myself real to him.]" (John 14:21, Amplified Bible)

Believe the Scriptures, and make a habit of reading them every day without fail (see Psalm One for the benefits of a disciplined life). As you obey what you read, Jesus will become very real to you.

When someone tells you the Bible isn’t reliable--that they think they have found a mistake, look into it closely and you will find that they are the ones who have made the mistake.

Seven of the most important questions you will ever ask...

Cont.
5. How do I approach Him to get the gift?
If I want to speak to a five-star General, I have to go to him on his terms. The importance of His rank demands it. When you and I come to God we have to come on His terms, and His stipulation is that we approach Him through humility and faith. This isn’t an intellectual faith that He exists. When the Bible speaks of "faith" in God, it is referring to a "trust" in Him. There’s a huge difference between the two.

Trust is the basis for many things we do in life. We trust bankers with our money. We trust historians to give us the truth about history, our doctors with the right medicine, and teachers with correct knowledge for an education. We trust that our dentist knows what he’s doing when he drills a tooth, and with our mechanics when he fixes our brakes. For a soldier, trust is walking in front of a buddy who has a fixed bayonet, or letting someone you hardly know pack your backup parachute.

The 1.5 billion people who travel by air annually trust more than pilots when they fly in a plane. Without too much thought, they trust their precious lives to unseen pilots, unseen air traffic controllers, and aircraft mechanics they will never see nor meet.

Trust is the glue that cements friendships. It’s what holds a marriage together. If trust goes out the door, so does the relationship. If you don’t trust someone, it means you think that they are not worthy of your trust. They are devious. Think of how you would feel if you said, "I love my mother. She is so faithful. She sure keeps her promises," and someone responded with "I don’t trust her!" His lack of trust would hopefully anger you, because it would be insulting to your mom. Insulting another human being by a lack of faith is bad enough, so whatever you do, don’t insult God through a lack of faith in Him:

"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" (Hebrews 11:6).

So with genuine sorrow ("contrition") confess your sins to God, turn from them (repentance) and trust alone in Jesus Christ as your Savior and your Lord. The moment you do that, God will "justify" you and grant you everlasting life.

"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1).

Even though God is holy and we are sinful, upon God-given repentance and faith in Jesus we can have fellowship with Him, because He is rich in mercy to all that call upon Him. Do you remember Isaiah 57:15: "For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: 'I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.'"

Pray something like this today, because you may not have tomorrow:

"Dear God, I have sinned against you by violating your Law. Please forgive me. If you were to judge my many sins I would justly end up in Hell. But because you are rich in mercy and have provided a Savior, I can be forgiven through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I surrender my life to Him and trust Him alone for my salvation. In His name I pray. Amen."

The seven most important questions you will ever ask...

4. What has God done for this sinful and dying world?
The Bible compares us to lost sheep. We have "gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way." We have gone astray and live with our backs to God, but we are then told "and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all." What does that mean?

When I was about 8 years old I thought nothing of throwing a stone the full length of our street, just to see how far it would go. My problem was that I didn’t understand that sometimes actions can have serious consequences.

One day I was in a tree-filled empty lot, three doors along from our house. For some reason I threw a stone into the trees. Suddenly I heard the sound of glass breaking, and high-tailed it out of there like a rabbit that had just seen a hungry fox.

A few minutes later, the fox was at our back door. Then I heard my mom call my name, and then ask, "Did you just throw a stone through Mr. Prescott’s window?" I stepped out of my room and said that I had. I can’t remember anything else about the incident, except that my mom has said a number of times how proud she was that I had done the right thing by telling the truth.

When it comes to the issue of sin, we don’t understand that there are deadly serious consequences. We lie, steal, lust, covet, and blaspheme without too much thought. It’s no big deal. But every time we do so, we smash the window of God’s Law and that Law demands retribution. Now He’s waiting for us to do the right thing and ‘fess up. If we refuse to come out in the open we will pay for it ourselves, and there will be Hell to pay.

So what are you going to do? We have already seen that you can’t justify yourself. Simply do the right thing. Confess your sins to God. He knows all about the broken window, and in His great mercy He has already paid for a new one Himself.

God became a Man in the person of Jesus of Nazareth--a morally perfect Man, then He offered Himself as a sacrifice for the sin of the world. When Jesus was on the cross, the Father laid on Him the sin of us all. Think of it this way again. God is a Judge. We are guilty criminals who have violated His Law. Jesus stepped into the courtroom and paid the fine for us. That means, because of the suffering death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God can legally dismiss our case. He can commute our death sentence and allow us to live! Can you understand that? He took the bullet so that you don’t have to:

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil" (John 3:16-19, NKJV).

Do you remember how man-made religions seek justification? Look at what God did through the Savor: "Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification" (Romans 4:25).

This is what makes Christianity unique among other religions. Instead of man seeking justification, in Christ, God justifies the guilty sinner. Everlasting life is a free gift of God, and that brings us to a very important question.

To be continued...

The seven most important questions you will ever ask...

Question 3. What is God like?
To a child, the sun may look like it’s just a bright not-too-big ball in the sky, but it’s actually a huge mass of burning hydrogen and helium that's 865,400 miles wide, and its volume is about 1,300,000 times that of the earth. If I believed that it was square, made of ice, and that it came out at night, my belief wouldn’t change the sun’s reality. It is what it is, despite my beliefs.

In the same way, it doesn’t matter what we believe about the nature of God. He is what He is, despite our beliefs. So if we are going to consider His attributes, we must let go of every preconceived and erroneous image we have, and look at what He reveals about Himself in His Word, the Bible.

We are told that God is a "spirit." That means He is invisible to the natural eye. We believe in many things that are invisible: atoms, radio waves, television waves, love, history, and the wind, just to name a few. The life that inhabits our body is unseen. When we die, that invisible life leaves the shell in which we live. God is the well-spring of that unseen life.

Perhaps the most important thing we should know about God, is that He is holy:

"For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: 'I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite'" (Isaiah 57:15).

He is absolute moral perfect, and because of His moral perfection His very nature demands supreme justice. To put it in human terms, He is like a good judge who uncompromisingly upholds justice. He always does that which is right and just.

If a judge didn’t do what is right, if he turned a blind eye to serious crimes, he’s not a good judge. He is corrupt, and should therefore be brought to justice himself.

It is because God is good that He has set aside a Day in which He will judge the world in righteousness (Judgment Day). That will be the day when every murderer gets exactly what is coming to him. He will also punish thieves, liars, rapists, fornicators, adulterers, murderers, and blasphemers. Please stay with me now, because we are going to look at a biblical truth that changes everything.

Would you consider yourself to be a good person? Most of us do. So let’s have a quick court-martial and see if you are (as you maintain) a morally good person. You will be put on the stand and I will cross-examine you. All I ask of you is that you tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God. Can you manage that? Here goes.

How many lies have you told in your life? How you ever stolen anything? Have you ever used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, "Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart" (Matthew 5:28). If you have lied, stolen, used God’s name in vain, or looked with lust, then you are a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart, and that’s only four of the Ten Commandments.

The dictionary says that a murderer is "a person who commits murder." But the Bible goes further. It says that if you hate someone, you are a murderer (see 1 John 3:15). Of course the person who has hated someone hasn’t physically committed murder, but in God’s eyes they have done the deed, because the intent is there and He therefore considers them guilty of murder (see Hebrews 4:12). That’s how high God’s moral standards are, and that will be the standard on Judgment Day (see Romans 2:12). Have you ever hated anyone?

The Tenth Commandment says "You shall not covet." To covet means "to have an inordinate or wrongful desire." Covetousness is a sin of the heart. We violate the Tenth Commandment simply by having an unlawful desire.

When Jesus spoke of the subject of lust (which is a form of covetousness) He spoke of it sexually, and said that when we lust we violate the Seventh Commandment, which says "You shall not commit adultery." The dictionary definition of adultery is "voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than his or her lawful spouse."

But Jesus said that when we lust after someone (when we covet them sexually), we commit adultery in the heart. Again, the person hasn’t physically committed adultery, but in God’s morally perfect eyes the desire is the same as the deed. The dictionary confines adultery to a married person. The Bible broadens it to include anyone who looks with lust, whether they are married or unmarried. If you have looked with lust, then you have committed adultery in your heart, and that’s the standard God will judge with on the Day of Judgment. If you’ve got red blood in your veins and a working conscience, you will know that you are in big trouble for transgressing that Commandment. So what are you going to do to try and "justify" yourself?

Here's what changes everything. Before you try to justify yourself, keep in mind that God is a perfect Judge. In His eyes you are a wicked criminal. You are guilty of violating His Law (the Ten Commandments). I can’t emphasize the importance of you grasping this--your understanding of the fact that you are a devious criminal will almost certainly determine your eternal destiny. Here is why. It is because we are wicked criminals in God’s eyes that any good works or self sacrifice on our part are in truth detestable attempts to bribe the Judge of the Universe. The Scriptures warn that the sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord. There is absolutely nothing we can do to justify ourselves in God’s sight.

How then do you plead? Innocent or guilty? You can’t say you are innocent, because you are not. You dare not point to your "good" works, because you haven’t any, and look what happens to the guilty on Judgment Day:

"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, NKJV)

God’s wrath abides on you because of your sin (see John 3:36). The Bible says that you are an enemy of God in your mind because of wicked works. If you die in your sins and He gives you justice, you will damned in Hell (See Revelation 21:8). What should you do? You have only one option. It is to throw yourself on the mercy of the Judge. That brings us to the next question. To be continued tomorrow (God-willing).

The seven most important questions you will ever ask

Cont. Question 2.

What does God have that I need?

So here is our problem. We are all going to die. God is not. He is eternal. If I want to live forever, I have to somehow find a bridge to this eternal Creator. This is why so many billions have been interested in religion, down through the ages. This is why I became intensely interested in the subject of God on the night of my conversion. For about 20 years I didn’t give God serious thought for a minute. I was like a man who understandably didn’t have any thought about a particular cure, until he understood that he had the terminal disease that the cure treated. That’s a huge revelation for any human being to have.

Almost all religions have the common knowledge that God requires us to do that which is right, and we have done wrong. Consequently, the core of all the major religions is that they must do something to "justify" themselves. The four year-old tries to justify why he hit his sister—"She hit me first!" His explanation is an attempt to exonerate himself of guilt. He is seeking what is called "justification." And the thought behind those who are religious is--"If I can somehow justify myself by doing things and earn God’s favor, perhaps He will let me live."

Religious deeds are often combined with self-suffering as a means of seeking God’s mercy--"If He is angry at me for my sins, maybe I can pay for them myself in this life." The four year-old admits that he hit his sister, so he punches himself in the chest as a form of punishment. This is the motive for self-mutilation, fasting, self-denial, lying on beds of nails, sitting on hard pews, etc.

However, biblical Christianity teaches that no one can justify himself in the sight of God. There is a good reason for that, which brings us to the next important question.

To be continued...

Seven of the most important questions you will ever ask...

1. How Do I know God exists?
It’s amazing how many people think that God’s existence is a matter of "faith." They think that we choose to accept that an invisible God exists, without any real evidence for His existence. We just "believe."

Could you believe that a soldier’s barracks had no builder? Obviously someone put it together, because buildings don’t happen by themselves. The fact that the building exists is positive proof that there was a builder. Who could believe that a building—with its doors, windows, heating, air conditioning, carpet, electricity, etc., happened by accident, made from nothing?

Its design adds to evidence of a designer. For example, the door is made for a man to walk though. It has a handle and hinges. Windows are made for him to see through. The air conditioning keeps him cool in summer, and the heating keeps him warm in winter. The lighting helps him see when it’s dark, and the carpet is for his added comfort. The building was intended specifically for his use.

In the same way, creation is proof that there was a Creator. Keep in mind that we can’t create anything from nothing. We don’t know how to begin. If you disagree, then make me a seed—-from nothing. Make it living, so that it grows into a plant that produces an edible fruit, and make it with the ability to create more seeds within the fruit, so that you can plant them and make more plants and more fruit. So if we can’t even make one seed, how intellectually deceitful is it for any rational human being to believe that nothing created everything?

But there is more. The evidence shows that this earth upon which we live was intended for our use. We have lighting during the day so that we can see what we are doing. The sea breeze keeps the air fresh and cool, and the warmth of a massive ball of fire in the sky keeps us warm and dry. Cows give us succulent meat to eat and leather to wear. They chew grass and give us milk, and from the milk we get cream, cheese, butter, yoghurt, and ice cream. Sheep give us mouth-watering meat to eat, and wool from their back gives us warm sweaters, and supplies carpet for our comfort. Chickens lay eggs for us to scramble, and sacrificially provide finger-lickin’ meat on our plates.

We have oceans that are rich with tasty fish for our dinner; the soil yields juicy fruits for the table and a huge variety of vegetables to keep us healthy. Trees breathe out oxygen for us to breathe in, and we breathe out carbon dioxide for them to breathe in.

We have eyes to enjoy the beauty of this amazing creation, ears to listen to melodious music, as well as hear the song of a myriad of beautiful birds that usher in the morning light. We have a mass of taste buds to relish mashed potatoes and gravy.

Add to this the wonder of man being made for woman and woman for man, and the fact that dogs give man enjoyment and keep him company. He has brilliant white snow upon which to ski, massive waves upon which to surf, the joys of blue skies, green grass, and white beaches with amazing and crystal-clear water.

On top of all this, gravity keeps his feet firmly grounded so that he doesn’t spin off into space, as this massive ball of dirt upon which he lives spins around at the breath-taking speed.

The amazing design all around us screams of the unspeakable genius of an incredible
designer.

No wonder the Bible calls the professing atheist a "fool."

So there is no question as to whether or not God exists; which brings us to the second question.

To be continued...

A comment on the above:

"Here we go with another verse of "Creation is proof of a Creator" the song that means nothing but never stops. Ray, if the earth was intended for our use, how come so much of it is unfit for human habitation?" MollyKnits

Good question. This is because it is under the Genesis curse. You are right--much of Africa and Australia are barren desert; Russia and other countries are continually covered with freezing ice and snow. The whole earth is filled with weeds, disease, pain, suffering and death:

"We know that the whole creation [of irrational creatures] has been moaning together in the pains of labor until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves too, who have and enjoy the firstfruits of the [Holy] Spirit [a foretaste of the blissful things to come] groan inwardly as we wait for the redemption of our bodies [from sensuality and the grave, which will reveal] our adoption (our manifestation as God's sons)" (Romans 8:22-23--Amplified Bible).

Those who love God are waiting for a "new heavens and a new earth" where the curse is removed. We "inherit" this whole incredible earth. This is provable. Simply humble yourself, repent, and trust the Savior. He will reveal Himself to you (see John 14:21) and confirm the truth of His promises.

For those of you who insist you don't fear death...

"Since, therefore, [these His] children share in flesh and blood [in the physical nature of human beings], He [Himself] in a similar manner partook of the same [nature], that by [going through] death He might bring to nought and make of no effect him who had the power of death--that is, the devil--And also that He might deliver and completely set free all those who through the [haunting] fear of death were held in bondage throughout the whole course of their lives." Hebrews 2:14-15 (Amplified Bible)

The seven most important questions...

I was going to die and there was nothing I could do about it. The only unanswered question was "When?" But I wasn’t the only one. Every human being had the same terminal prognosis. As far as I knew, the mortality rate among the world’s population was 100%. Death was a huge and unwanted elephant in the room that we were all supposed to quietly accept as a fact of life. No one was to question why death existed and or even ask how we could avoid it. It was bizarre.

I decided that I would at least visit my doctor to see what I could do to prolong my precious life. He was sitting behind a desk, gaunt, smoking a cigarette. He died a few years later. I wondered if science could help me. But it seemed that they were too busy trying to place a man onto the moon to worry about trifles like death.

So I was left with the inevitable. I was terminal and there was not a thing I could do about it.

Every year (in the United States alone) 562,340 people die of cancer (that’s 1500 every day)[1], 40,000 annually die through car accidents, and 100,000 are helped out of here through hospital-related infections[2] (dirty hospitals). If dirty hospitals don’t get you, incompetence may take you out--"between 40,000 and 100,000 people die every year because of doctors' mistakes, including surgical mishaps and drug mix-ups."[3] Starvation, murder, heart disease, hundreds of other diseases, suicides, earthquakes, drowning, etc., wipe out around 150,000 world-wide each day. That’s an astounding four and a half million human beings dying each month; human beings just like you and me, with the same fears and concerns. Despite these horrific odds of survival, most of us think that we will make it through this day and eventually die of old age, one day. So it’s not a pressing issue.

But perhaps you are reading this because your situation has the elephant weighing heavy on your mind. It is a pressing issue, so let me give you some relief, and then we will deal with the details. Way back on April 25th, 1972 at 1:30 in the morning, I found my answer. To my unspeakable relief I found out why we die, and what we can do about it. I can’t express to you how wonderful it is that (as a Christian) I know that I have everlasting life. Death has lost its sting. I am no longer terminal.

So now, you have to decide if I’m deluded, or if I’m speaking the truth. Let me present my case over the next week, and then you decide if it makes sense. We are going to look at what I believe are the seven most important questions you can ask.

To be continued.

Charles Darwin On The Ouija Channel

Written by Robert Singer Editorials, General, Religion Jan 31, 2010

Professor Richard Dawkins, one of the greatest living "experts" on blind watchmakers and selfish gene-centric Evolution got out his Ouija Board to channel the spirit of Charles Darwin, author of The Origin of Species and the father of Naturalism and Atheism.

Contacting Darwin was considered of a dangerous and controversial nature because if his current residence is Hell then a whole lot of evolutionary biologists will be out of work.

Dawkins and company agreed it was worth the risk because there aren’t enough Evolutionists to rip out the pages of one million copies of Ray Comfort’s new book linking Darwin and Natural Selection to Hitler.

The Actual First prayer
"Lord our Heavenly Father, High and Mighty King of kings, and Lord of lords, who dost from thy throne behold all the dwellers on earth and reignest with power supreme and uncontrolled over all the Kingdoms, Empires and Governments; look down in mercy, we beseech thee, on these our American States, who have fled to thee from the rod of the oppressor and thrown themselves on Thy gracious protection, desiring to be henceforth dependent on Thee, to Thee have they appealed for the righteousness of their cause; to Thee do they now look up for that countenance and support, which Thou alone canst give; take them, therefore, Heavenly Father, under Thy nurturing care; give them wisdom in Council and valor in the field; defeat the malicious designs of our cruel adversaries; convince them of the unrighteousness of their Cause and if they persist in their sanguinary purposes, of own unerring justice, sounding in their hearts, constrain them to drop the weapons of war from their unnerved hands in the day of battle! Be Thou present, O God of wisdom, and direct the councils of this honorable assembly; enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundation. That the scene of blood may be speedily closed; that order, harmony and peace may be effectually restored, and truth and justice, religion and piety, prevail and flourish amongst Thy people. Preserve the health of their bodies and vigor of their minds; shower down on them and the millions they here represent, such temporal blessings as Thou seest expedient for them in this world and crown them with everlasting glory in the world to come. All this we ask In the Name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy Son and our Savior. Amen."

The uniqueness of the human being

If I could name one feature about humanity that is unique in creation, it’s atheism. Only human beings have the ability to bow the knee or not bow the knee to the God that gave them life.

The stumbling-block for many atheists when it comes to the issue of God, is the subject of "faith." They think that a Christian is someone who believes that God exists. However, a Christian is someone who "knows" God experientially. I believed in God’s existence before I was a Christian. When I came to know the Lord, I moved out of the realm of belief into the realm of experience. I know Him "Whom to know is life eternal." When a sinner comes to know God it’s called "conversion," or "the new birth" of John chapter 3.

Being a Christian is also more than an intellectual belief in the Genesis account of creation, where we are told that God created man in His own image--morally cognizant, and as male and female. To believe in the theory of evolution, which says otherwise, is to call God a liar.

This is because it contradicts Scripture. It says that man wasn’t made in God’s image, but that we evolved, over a long period of time, from primates. An evolutionist believes that all the animals we have now, were not as we see them.

They were radically different. Dinosaurs, over millions of years, became birds, fish became lizards, whales grew legs, dogs were something else, primates split from primates and evolved into human beings.

So, when they tell you that evolution is a fact, ask why there are no species-to-species transitional forms in the fossil record. Why is there no evidence anywhere (in the billions of bones of dead animals) of any species becoming another different species?

Darwinian’s are flogging a dead and decomposed horse. Evolution isn’t true. It never has been and it never will be, no matter how long they wait for evidence. That’s upsetting for its true believers, because it leaves only one alternative—that God created mankind as male and female and that you and I are morally responsible beings.

So, is there any way to know which is true? Did God make us or didn’t He? To even ask the question is an intellectual embarrassment. It’s like a man sitting on a 747 and asking if there is any evidence that the plane had a maker. The fact that the plane exists is his evidence. Planes don’t make themselves, and neither did this incredible planet called earth make itself.

The theory of evolution is a non-issue when compared to your eternal salvation. So set it aside for a moment and think about where you will spend eternity. Think about this precious gift of life. Think about your mortality. Think about your sins, and then think about what God did on the Cross to save you from their eternal consequences.

If someone really wants to know if it’s true that Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment for us so that we could have everlasting life--if they are genuinely open to evidence—they simply have to obey His words. Listen to what He said:

"Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed in Him, 'If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free'" (John 8:31-32).

Someone's comment on the above:

"Prayer: Talking wishfully to one's self."

This is true, if you have a proud attitude: "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble" (James 4:6).

"Personally, I would never get an abortion…I favor making abortions RARE." MollyKnits ["Personally, I would never kill a Jew. I favor making killing Jews to be RARE"]

"Such a decision (to have an abortion) can be heart-wrenching and momentous without being homicide." Steven J. ["The killing of a Jew can be heart-wrenching without being murder"].

"Even if abortions were outlawed completely women would still find other ways to have them. They might have them done illegally or try to perform them at home at the risk of their own health, and of course the life of their unborn child." OutlawGirl ["Even if Jew-killing was against the law, people would still find ways to kill them. The murderer may even get hurt while killing them if it’s not done properly"].

Welcome to justification for the American holocaust. This is the natural end result of the philosophy of "survival of the fittest."

For those of you who will say that the above picture is fake (click on it to enlarge):

"Pictures from the surgery were printed in a number of newspapers in the U.S. and around the world, including USA Today, and thanks to the remarkable procedure preformed by the Nashville team, little Samuel was born healthy on 2 December 1999." http://www.snopes.com/photos/medical/thehand.asp

"I was honored to be shooting for USA Today and wanted to do the best job possible. I never imagined the child could possibly reach out during the surgery. But that is exactly what happened. As I write this four years later I'm still in shock that Samuel reached out like he did. But I am also in shock as to what has become of the moment I captured." Michael Clancy[1]

Every murderer will face the Law that says “You shall not kill.” The Bible warns that if you hate someone, you are a murderer, if you have anger without cause, you are in danger of judgment, so how much more is it a transgression to take the life of the unborn.

We have become a wicked, sin-loving, blasphemous, self-righteous, and hypocritical people. Yet God is still rich in mercy to all that call upon Him.

For those of you atheists who seek to justify the horror of abortion by saying that God killed children in the Noah flood, and children of the Canaanites through Joshua, keep in mind that you don't believe the Bible. As far as you are concerned it never happened, so you don’t have a case.

God proclaimed the death-sentence upon every man, woman and child because of our sin. We will all die because we have all sinned, and the wages of sin is death. Quit before Pay Day. "There will be Hell to pay" isn’t just another maxim.
