Romans 3:19-20, “Now we know
that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under
the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become
guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no
flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
I found this disturbing YouTube video today at Living Waters, of
Evangelist Ray Comfort preaching a false gospel at Huntington Beach in
Los Angeles, California...
“So man, think about
that. this is your eternity, you don't know when you're going to
die. You know, God offers you everlasting life as
a free gift, if you'll let go of your sins. And we love to
fornicate, we love pornography, we love our lust; but
like a kid holding onto a stick of dynamite, not realizing that it
will be the death of us! So think about that. Think how much you
value your eyes, and think about how much you value your life. Jesus
said, 'What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and
lose his own soul.” —Evangelist Ray Comfort, YouTube video titled: “Ray
Comfort Doesn't Share the Gospel with Him...” (video posted on
May 31, 2020)
Dear reader, there is absolutely nothing taught in
the inspired Holy Bible about “letting go of your sins” to be saved.
Sadly, Ray Comfort's stupid
poodle (I hate poodles) has a better understanding of the Bible than
he does! This is serious theological business! That is why I refute
Bob Jones University,
Pastor Marty Herron,
Evangelist Steve Pettit and
Dr. John MacArthur for teaching the same garbage theology, that you
must “turn from your sin” to be saved. These heretics are all preaching
another gospel, which is accursed by God (Galatians 1:6-9). You don't
“turn from your sin” to be saved, you simply trust the finished
redemptive work of Christ. Eternal life is a free gift (Romans 5:15-18;
6:23). Anyone who receives Christ's sacrifice on the cross as payment
for their sins, believing that He died, was buried, and resurrected
three days later from the dead, is saved. That is “THE GOSPEL” (1st
Corinthians 15:1-4).
Like nearly all false teachers, Ray Comfort gets it
half right! Ray is correct to use the law as a measuring stick by which
to show people their sinnership. Romans
3:19-20, “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to
them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the
world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law
there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the
knowledge of sin.” The purpose of God's law is to give humanity
the knowledge that we are guilty sinners. Ray Comfort does that, which
is good; however, he goes horribly astray when he requires people to
“repent (turn and forsake) of their sins,” which effectively is
synonymous with KEEPING THE DEEDS OF THE LAW!!! As we just read in
Romans 3:20, by the DEEDS OF THE LAW shall no flesh (no human being) be
justified with God.
Ladies and gentleman, the following quote from Ray
Comfort is shockingly heretical! It makes me cry seeing these two
impressionable college students, being indoctrinated by Ray Comfort with
doctrines of devils...
What you have to do is
repent and trust in Him. It's very simple, a child can understand
it. 'Repentance' is where you confess and forsake
your sins. That is, you don't say, 'I'm a Christian,' but you lie
and fornicate, and look at pornography; that's playing the
hypocrite, just deceiving yourself, so you want to be sincere in
your repentance, for it to be genuine; and then you trust
in Jesus like you trust a parachute.
—Evangelist Ray Comfort,
YouTube video titled: “Watch
the Gospel Change College Students' Minds!” (video posted on
June 12, 2020)
What you just read is of the Devil. Ray Comfort is
not saved, not by a long shot! What Ray is errantly teaching is that you
have to reform your own life, to ensure that your repentance and faith
are genuine. The King James Bible teaches the exact oppossite, that the
indwelling Holy Spirit lives in us, and through us. Galatians 2:20, “I am crucified
with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the
Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” In Ray Comfort's
damnable plan of salvation, you are required to change your own life,
and
continue living a life of repentance (which is really human
reformation). That is self-righteousness, not the free grace gift of
God. In God's plan of salvation, the Holy Spirit changes you over time,
as your mind is renewed by the Word of God daily. SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES!
(John 5:39).
Ray Comfort Has Been Bewitched Like The
Galatians
The Devil had successfully crept into the church at
Galatia, leading the churchgoers to add doing works to faith. The
Apostle Paul was grieved from another city, writing to them in
frustration, wonder ing how they had been bewitched by another gospel of
partial faith in Christ plus works...
Galatians
3:1-11, “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should
not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been
evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of
you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the
hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit,
are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Have ye suffered so many
things in vain? if it be yet in vain. He therefore that ministereth
to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by
the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Even as
Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the
children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God
would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel
unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. So
then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for
it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things
which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man
is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for,
The just shall live by faith.”
Again and again we read in the preceding Scripture
passage that we are saved solely BY FAITH! There is no mention of
forsaking sins! What do you think the works of the law are? Turning away
from living in adultery, is no different than trying not to commit
adultery to get to Heaven. I hope you see that dear friend. These are
the DEEDS OF THE LAW! This issue is not about Ray Comfort personally,
this is about what he is preaching and propagating worldwide through his
popular Living Waters ministry. According to Charity Navigator,
Living Waters took in
$3,314,483 in 2018, with Ray Comfort as the CEO who paid himself
$131,106. Wow! That's not bad for so-called “serving” God. Humbly, I've
never made a single penny in my life for serving God. I've never made a
penny from over 111,000,000 web visitors since 2002. I do what I do for
the same reason that David fought Goliath in the Old Testament. 1st
Samuel 17:29, “And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a
cause?” To God be the glory! I do what I do because I love God
and my neighbour (all humanity).
Kindly said, Charity Navigator has given Living
Waters their lowest rating possible. That is disgusting! It means
Living Waters is secretive where the money is being spent. I wouldn't
give them a penny, but to each his own. We all have to give account to
God in eternity for every penny we earn, every penny we spend, every
penny we give, and every penny we hold back! When we got saved,
everything that we own became the Lord's property, including our body
(1st Corinthians 6:20). Oh dear friend, salvation is not by WHAT YOU DO,
it's by what's HE'S DONE!
I Am Not The “Enemy” For Preaching The
Truth
For preaching this blessed sound doctrine, I
have been counted as an “enemy” by the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam
since 2014. I love and miss them, but so does God! Harvest went off the
reservation a long time ago, taking leave of their spiritual senses...
“Earth calling Harvest! Come in Harvest. Can you hear me? Earth calling
Harvest! Is there anybody left who fears God?” I love youse guys!
Respectfully, I have the emails between myself and
Pastor Herron from 2017, in which he refers to me as an “enemy.” Pastor
Joe Hanson berated me, calling me and Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) “a
cult” for speaking THE TRUTH—the truth that the modern Bible
revisions are Devil's Bibles, and the truth that Lordship
Salvation is not the Gospel of free grace. For these TRUTHS I have been
called into question, just like the Apostle Paul was called into
question over the resurrection of the body, and I've been made to suffer
for Jesus, having no church family since 2014. There are some caring
Christians at Harvest, and I thank God for both of them! I care too
much, which is why I am alone without a church family, because I refuse
to go along to get along with heresy, apostasy and insanity. Using more
than one English Bible revision is insanity!
Dear reader, are you okay with what these people
are teaching, that you must “forsake your sins” to be saved. That is
what Bob Jones University, Steve Pettit, Marty Herron, Sam Horn, John
MacArthur, Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron, Paul Washer, Billy Graham,
Mormons, Seventh-Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Roman Catholics,
Ravi Zacharias and other heretics are ALL preaching! I encourage you to
search my ministry websites for these names and read my articles,
exposing them all! Ephesians 4:15b says, “SPEAKING THE TRUTH
IN LOVE.” Speaking the truth is the most loving thing a
person can do for another human being! Please read Galatians 3:1-11
again and again, and you'll clearly see that, “THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY
FAITH” (verse 11). Paul does not mention “forsaking your sins,”
because that is exactly what “THE DEEDS OF THE LAW” means!
Literally, as you just read, Ray Comfort teaches
lost sinners that to be saved, they must first forsake the sins of
fornication, pornography and lust. That is another gospel! How can that
be the free gift and grace of God? Obviously it cannot. Either salvation
is by works or by grace, but it cannot be a hybrid of both. Our
sixteenth U.S. President, Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), understood this
great truth...
“In great
contests [battles], each party claims to act in accordance with the
will of God—both may be, but one must be, wrong—God cannot be for
and against the same thing at the same time!” —President Abraham
Lincoln
What saith the Scripture? Romans 11:5-6, “Even
so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the
election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works:
otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no
more grace: otherwise work is no more work.” God rejected Israel,
because Israel rejected Him! Israel ceased to be a nation in 586 BC. Ah,
but God made a sure way of escape for any Jew who wanted to return to
God, simply BY FAITH in Jesus Christ! That is what the Apostle Paul is
talking about in Romans 11:1-6. God has not cast away His people, but in
so doing has provoked them to jealousy! God wants all Israel, and all
the whole as well, to be saved through faith alone in Jesus Christ!
Galatians 3:26 and 29, “For ye are all the children of God by
faith in Christ Jesus. ...And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's
seed, and heirs according to the promise.” I am as much a Jew today
in God's sight, as was Abraham himself, the father of the Jewish people!
The Old Testament law was given by God as a
measuring stick, by which when compared, men recognized their sinful
condition and need for redemption through God's grace (Romans 3:19-20;
Galatians 3:25-26). Unfortunately, the law became a religion to many of
the unsaved Jews, who instead of trusting the Messiah, attempted to keep
the deeds of the law to get to Heaven. They completely failed to grasp
the intent and meaning of God's law. Sadly, still today 3,500 years
later men are trying to keep the deeds of the law to get to Heaven. They
say you must forsake your sins to be saved. It is a false gospel. 1st
Corinthians 1:23, “But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a
stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;” The Gospel of
Jesus Christ has become a stumbling block to billions of people, because
they foolishly think the way to Heaven is by forsaking a sinful
lifestyle. It's not by what we have done that saves us, but by trusting
what Christ has already done!
We Are Not Saved By Living The
Christian Life, But By Being Born-Again
The self-righteous religious Jews errantly thought
they could get to Heaven by living a lifestyle of repentance (abstaining
from fornication, murder, stealing, bearing false witness, covetousness,
et cetera). Ray Comfort preaches that you have to stop committing those
sins to qualify to be saved. That is straight out of the pits of Hell.
It is no different than what the religious Jews were doing, trying to
keep the law to merit Heaven! You cannot save yourself! Ray Comfort is a
spiritually corrupt man, demanding human reformation to receive God's
free gift, which makes no sense at all. It is a gift!
Please don't miss this folks. Your eternal soul hangs in
the balance if you get this wrong! According to Ray Comfort's corrupt
thinking, a person who doesn't forsake their sins is a hypocrite, and
their repentance and faith are not genuine. So he takes it upon himself
to change the Gospel, mandating that people clean up their own lives of
sin, to prove that their repentance and faith are genuine. Ray even
refers to this as “living a lifestyle that proves the reality of your
repentance.” This is another gospel of works, which cannot produce the new birth
(regeneration). Ray Comfort heretically says:
“So if the
plane goes down, you'd end up in Hell! There are two things you have
to do to be saved. Do you remember what they are? I told you what
they are—You've got to repent and trust the Savior! ... God's
offering you everlasting life upon your repentance and faith in
Christ. Who in his right mind wouldn't say, 'Whoa! That's a good
offer!' (The curious woman asks what it means to “repent”?)... Have
you ever said you're sorry to someone you did something wrong to?
That's all repentance is—You've sinned against God; it's a matter of
saying, 'God, I'm sorry,' and then LIVING A
LIFESTYLE that proves the reality of your
repentance. That's what repentance is, it's
a continual thing! God, 'I'm sorry, but I'm not going going to lie
or steal or blaspheme Your name ever again. It has that attitude!
And the second thing—trust in Jesus!” [emphasis added]
SOURCE: Evangelist
Ray Comfort, “I've
never killed anyone” (MP3
clip from video)
That is unbelievable heresy! Sadly,
Dr. Steve Pettit teaches the
same junk theology, requiring 2,700 Bob Jones University (BJU)
students to live a lifestyle (which he calls “running the race”) to get
to Heaven. There is no assurance of salvation with these devils in the
pulpit, only fear that you had better forsake your sins, and faithfully
serve God throughout your entire life, or you will go to Hell. How is
any of that the free gift of God, which is eternal life? Wake up
everybody!
The gift of eternal life is wrapped in the wonderful package of Jesus!
I encourage my web visitors to start free
Google blogs. I encourage you to
download and re-uploaded YouTube videos that expose false prophets.
Better yet, make some of your own videos (I use
Corel
Visual Studio) and upload them. The truth needs our help! 3rd
John 1:8, “We therefore ought to receive such, that we might
be fellowhelpers to the truth.” What did
you do for Jesus your 25,000 days on earth? Well, hmmm, what did you do?
We Must Keep Discipleship Separate From
Salvation
We
must never combine and confuse discipleship with sonship. To do so
causes much confusion in people's minds, leading to depression,
uncertainty, fear and a lack of joy knowing that you are 100% saved and
on your way to Heaven! I KNOW that I am saved. I got born-again at age
13 in a good old-fashioned Baptist church in Chicago, convicted by the
blessed Holy Spirit while hearing solid Bible-preaching! God promises in
His inspired Word to save anyone who believes, and I did, and I was
saved that glorious day! 1st Corinthians 1:21, “For after that in the
wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the
foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.” John 6:47,
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath
everlasting life.” Do you believe dear friend?
Ray Comfort is a good man, but a lost religious
man! He has been woefully deceived by the Devil, mistaking living the
Christian life for regeneration! Romans 12:1-2, “I beseech you
therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your
reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is
that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Please notice
that we as believers are TRANSFORMED by “the renewing of our mind,”
to prove what is the good, acceptable and perfect will of God. This
has NOTHING to do with salvation! Paul is writing to the believers at
Rome (Romans 1:7), pleading with them to dedicate themselves as a
“LIVING SACRIFICE” in service for God.
In sharp contrast, getting saved is simply a matter
of BELIEVING the Gospel when you hear it preached. Nothing more is
necessary, required nor permitted by God to be saved!
Listen to Ray Comfort again and hear his Satanic lies! (I added a
clip at the end of Pastor Jack Hyles refuting Lordship Salvation). I am
so sick and tired of this Lordship Salvation garbage in churches today.
It is our weak human nature to pick up on things we see and hear,
without being objective. I am guilty of doing it too! We are very
impressionable as human beings, having a dangerous tendency to go along
with the things we see and hear, which is why the newsmedia is so
powerful and deadly. Brother Lester Roloff (1914-1982) used to say that
next to the Word of God, the media is the most powerful force in the
universe.
Dear friend, my goal is not to bash Ray Comfort,
God knows my heart. I don't care if he makes all the money in the world,
I just wish he were preaching the Gospel, instead of a works-based
counterfeit plan of salvation that no one can follow. If you watch
Ray's
Living Waters video on YouTube, you'll see that he never
actually wins anyone to the Lord. Instead, he asks them if they'll go
home and think about the information he just gave them. The reason why
he cannot lead anyone to the Lord, is because you cannot “LIVE A
LIFESTYLE” in a moment of time! To no surprise,
Ravi Zacharias was trained by Ray
Comfort! These men are multi-millionaires, who parasite off of
Christianity!
I so much desire in my heart for everyone to see
the clarity of the Gospel of free grace (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). You
are a needy sinner, and so am I! There is a penalty for our sins, which
is to spend eternity burning and suffering in the fires of Hell (Romans
6:23; Revelation 28:1; James 2:10; Revelation 14:11). But God in His
unconditional love sent His only begotten Son into the world, to die in
our place on the cross (John 3:16-18; 2nd Corinthians 5:21). Jesus
died on the cross, was buried and physically resurrected
three days later from the dead. Anyone who comes to God as a needy
sinner, receiving (relying upon) Christ's sacrifice on the cross as
payment for your sins, believing that Jesus was buried and raised up
three days later from the dead, is saved. it's that simple! We are
guilty SINNERS and Jesus is the precious SAVIOR!!!
The idea that you must forsake fornicating,
pornography and lust to receive God's gift of eternal life is heretical.
That is another gospel. The truth is that when you get saved, God's Holy
Spirit comes to live inside your body and soul (1st Corinthians
3:16-17). The Holy Spirit comforts, guides, teaches, rebukes and
empowers us as God's children. 1st Peter 2:2 teaches that a baby
believer should wean on the milk of the inspired Word of God, to grow.
You wouldn't expect a newborn baby to walk, or dance, let alone run a 26
mile marathon. That is what Ray Comfort is doing, frontloading the
Gospel with things that God would only expect of a person who is already
saved, and has matured. God does not require that you give up any sins
to be saved, nor even be willing to turn from them.
God does expect when you get saved, that you
depart from sin, but it is not mandatory to get to Heaven. 2nd
Timothy 2:19, “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having
this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one
that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” Jesus KNOWS if
you are one of His sheep. John 10:27, “My sheep hear my voice, and I
know them, and they follow me:” As one of His sheep, the Lord
expects that you forsake a lifestyle (which is really a deathstyle) of
sin. Forsaking sin is not required to be saved, but it is your
“REASONABLE SERVICE” (Romans 12:1).
In summary, a child of God
SHOULD live for Christ; not MUST (that is works); not WILL (that is
Calvinism). Kindly said, if what I am saying offends your
religious beliefs and convictions, it is only because you do not
understand the Gospel. Ray
Comfort is in bed with Ken Ham, both Snakeoil salesmen at their
best, conmen! These false prophets are teaching the Devil's lie of
Lordship Salvation!!! You
have been warned dear reader! There is no blood on my hands. I have
diligently warned the Bob Jones' crowd. I have lovingly warned Harvest Baptist Church on
Guam. I have faithfully warned millions of people, crying out as A VOICE on the
internet. Matthew 24:11, “And many false prophets shall rise, and
shall deceive many.”
