You needed someone to give you a good reason not to blow your wife and kids away and needed someone else to tell you you were an idiot. It's your fault you were a horrible person so just take responsibility and you won't need religion. I have a similar story, but I redeemed myself without using a crutch.
If you guys think that Pastors are some guys getting rich off of other pple you are very mistaken...Being a Pastor is not easy at all!!! Keep on Pastor Raul!! God is amazing and how He works in our lives :)
Most people who do not have a personal relationship with JESUS always mock and attack christians.JESUS came to earth to shed his blood and willingly die on a cross at calvary to pay for all our sins.He did this so those of us who believe in him wouldn't have to burn forever in the lake of fire.JESUS bodily rose from the dead on the third day,after all he is GOD.JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY,Duane Risko.
Thanks for sharing your story Raul, God does amazing things, more than we can ask or think the bible says. I know, From prison to praise is what he did for me also. Thanks for your ministry bro!!
Ive been going to this Rauls chruch since I was a baby in 1990. And hes not some rich guy sippin momosas in Fiji every week!. Hes a real dude. My family would not be the loving family it is today without the help of his teaching. He's the most humble dude you'll ever meet also a good surfer. Please dont make judgements until you've actually met the guy. Im not no pefect lovey dovey christian but i know whats real. Ive been observing and hearing the dude for 20 years. He's legit. God Bless dudes!
@Badass187Daniel none of this proves he is right, none of this proves there is a god......He probably is a really nice guy but as soon as he starts telling me and my family, with absolute certainty, that very bad things will happen to us unless we do what he says, he loses all credibility. If you think you have the answer and all you do in life is tell people this, you are no longer humble.
My aunt and uncle go to his chruch, They are the most hateful group of people you would ever meet. They think we are at war and induce fear in the hearts of thier followers. It's just another Rocky story, that has made him wealthy. They are very closed minded people, I feel sad for them. My cousion a 52 year old man is scared of the boogy man that dwells in the earth because this guy rambles on and uses words like the rapture and burn in hell??
These pastors are wealthy with their books and movies. It's a moneymaking scam. I was involved in the security details for some of these guys in the calvary chapel movement and they always seem to shyaway from talking about where they live and you should see what they drive. There i was a deceived fool thinking they were so right on and I started noticing things that weren't right. I could barely afford McDonalds and these guys live in beautiful expensive homes, I'm glad Im a full jew now
@shockofgod I now feel very sorry for Raul Ries. His faith seems actually genuine. Here's a man who was living on the edge, and then found a way out of it. Good for him, his wife, and his kids. You on the other hand, have a history of destroying people AFTER you have found god. How much worse will it be for you, dear boy?
I have never had the privilege to meet and talk to a man that reflects the love of God better than Raul RIes. I met him at my church's men's retreat a few years ago. His genuine love for people and humility is unforgettable to me. It serves as a reminder to me in how to treat people....gentle and kind.
great to see God change a man who is in the clutches of satan and then God turns all satans wicked schemes around and uses the foolish things of the world to counfound the wise of this world. Jesus is to worthy of all honor praise and glory for the things he has done.,

A perfect example of the kind of unstable mind that can be so influenced by bronze age superstition and fairy stories.
Personally, I would prefer a more predictably reliable cure for these nutjobs!!
