Open Air Preaching on a New York City Subway Platform

[FerociousFap]

uh good message... maybe not the best place to preach because it's really loud and everyone is waiting to catch a train

[MrHaggis03]

I`m waiting for a train to take me home from a hard days work. Now fuck off to somewhere where i can choose to walk away and not listen to your speech...............Pathetic preacher

[openairevangelism]

@MrHaggis03 Why are you so angry? Something is not right inside. Your heart is full of hate and bitterness. I pray you repent and find peace and joy in Jesus Christ.

[ubernagash]

why are you only content with the 1st 10 commandmets you do know there are over 300, and if any of you are working on a sunday well that give me and anyone the right to kill you.....0_O,

you know why only the 1st 10 are more know, not because it was all you can fit on stone slab, but some are just plane common sense a rare thing in faith.

[amosnews]

It is not for other's savlation, it is for their own. These people are insecure about their salvation and believe that barking at others in public gets them closer to God. God is ashamed of them. God speaks gently to you, people. He does not bark or brow-beat. He is a God of peace.

[openairevangelism]

@amosnews I will obey God over you. Jesus' great command was to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation (Mark 16:15 ESV). There are too many cowards who disobey God's command because they love the approval of man rather than God.

[ubernagash]

@amosnews you mean the same peaceful god that has orded the killing mass's and enslaved the mass and tell you how much to sell them for, and lets adults stone unrulely children, oh and says all children are born with sin, and allows metal abuse of minors (almost spelled *miners* then that would of been funny) *see jesus camp" you do know you chrrey pick only the bit you like out of bible and ignore the hate the bible spits out

[CEOcutter]

@amosnews

You're wrong. If God is peace, than he must hate those who bring wars. If he is love, than he must hate those who is wicked. Do you not see? You're nothing more than idolatry who is full of himself.

[spider9243]

Kids should open air preach in school! :)

[hummbug1]

Hey One Word haleluyah Man!!

[mandeia1]

This guy is pretty good. At least he isn't carry around a bunch of those ridiculous sandwich signs acting completely obnoxious spewing sinless perfection. And he says 'everyone falls short'. Well glory be, he's got the truth. If I lived around there I would love to walk the subway systems with a group along with the gospel.

[junghoepark]

Jesus said, " I will give you the rest." Not Sabbath, but Jesus gives us true rest! Jesus fulfilled the old law and He ushers us into the new promise(Heb 8:18-19; 10:9; 9:15; 8:6-8; Eph 2:15). Jesus Christ gives us the true rest that the Sabbath had never given. Only when we believe Him, we are able to enter into the true rest, the Sabbath(Heb 4:1-10).

[junghoepark]

God bless you, who preaches, brother!

Adventists!

The law of the OT including Sabbath decrees is inferior to Jesus Christ. It is just shadow of the person and the work of Jesus Christ.(Heb 10:1; Heb 7:19).

Jesus Christ is the Lord of the Sabbath, so when disciples are with Him. they are in the TRUE and PERFECT Sabbath and in the perfect temple.

[martin101jc]

Thats awesome man.

[davestrout]

The deepest yearning of everyone that has experienced God's forgiveness through Jesus Christ and have been born of the Spirit; is a love for Jesus Christ, a hatred for sin in their own life and going, in simple obedience, to share the life that Jesus Christ has given.

@drf2121 . . . . . . the good things you do, then you will be looking for something that doesn't exist (perfection), doubting what can be an AMAZING INSTRUMENT for good (you), and making people (the homeless) suffer because you will be making it impossible for you to give with a glad heart.

[Commentsallowed]

@drf2121 It is impossible to love a thing for which there is no proof. The bible has twisted your mind into believing that LOVING A GOD is the highest goal. This is totally silly. What you can love is yourself, and those in whom you see yourself. I see myself in every person I meet, because we are all human. This is why when others hurt you are hurting too. Empathy is an instinct in our species, and thank goodness for that. If you are looking for "perfect" motives for . . . . . .

[Commentsallowed]

@drf2121 . . . . . . "use the dorian mode, mixolydian too!! These are the only acceptable modes!!! Use these in the Prelude form!! All who do not are committing abominations!!!"

[Commentsallowed]

@drf2121 . . . . should be about: people making attempts to live good lives, living their "working philosophies" and making people wonder.

I'm a musician, and when I hear a song or solo or piece that turns me on, I ask how that was done. So I've come to believe in the power of a prelude which relies heavily upon the dorian and mixolydian modes for material. I believe this because I've seen their effects, NOT because someone was on a streetcorner or on television shouting . . . . .

[Commentsallowed]

@drf2121 The quote is not out of context at all. It is very common practice to quote one verse without quoting the surrounding verses. And you are making a ridiculous comparison. I am not a preacher. I do not stand on street corners handing out pamphlets, I do not shove my beliefs down anyone's throat EVER. I wait for the proper venue which usually comes when someone ASKS me what I think, or when there is a YouTube video which allows comments. This is not unlike what Christianity . . . .

[Commentsallowed]

@drf2121 Well, if that's your attitude then your behavior, demeanor, and speech shall NEVER resemble anything above those of a child-raping, hate-filled, ignorant jackass. COME ON!! You know DAMN WELL that you are capable of the most virtuous and enviable acts of wisdom and rightness! Just like any human is! Unfortunately you are also capable of bad acts (not unlike those already mentioned).  To say that you can't do right is simply to recite the Christian lie by rote, and without thought.

[Commentsallowed]

@drf2121 . . . . . . live a "holy" life, do the right thing(s) and, as the newsboys once said; "make 'em wonder what cha got. Make 'em wish that they were not on the outside lookin' bored."

[Commentsallowed]

@drf2121 . . . . . your prophet himself said that you should not wear your faith on your sleeve. Jesus himself said "but when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you" (Matthew 6:6). If God doesn't want you to pray in public, I wonder what else he doesn't want you doing in public. Perhaps he doesn't want you shoving your beliefs down people's throats. Perhaps he wants you to . . . .

[Commentsallowed]

@drf2121 So; you are saying my request that you keep what you think to yourself is itself a sharing of what I think? That's ridiculous. Preachers have an agenda; to "win souls for Christ." If you wanna imply that my request that you people not evangelize is an agenda, then you're simply applying the I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I approach to debate. And even if what you're saying is true (which it's not), we ain't talkin' about me . . . WE ARE TALKING ABOUT YOU!! Besides . . . . . . . .

[Commentsallowed]

I figured them out from; friends, enemies, wise men, foolish men, wise women, foolish women, children, the living, the dead, classes, conversations, store clerks, politicians, criminals, teenagers, nigerians, germans, americans, my own head, dogs, cats, bacteria, books, the internet, television, plays, opera, interviews, lectures etc etc etc. There is more to life and reality than ONE BOOK!

[openaircampaigners]

@Commentsallowed,

So you believe the words of men.

[Commentsallowed]

@openaircampaigners Read what I said again. I said I "figured them out from," not "believed the words of the following." Also; dogs, cats, bacteria and the dead were in my list. Do you think these are "men?" Did you not read my list at all?

[Commentsallowed]

@openaircampaigners I also listed women. Are women men? Lol

[openaircampaigners]

@Commentsallowed,

You are not an island. You learned from other men. You have faith in what you have been told.

[Commentsallowed]

@openaircampaigners I've heard many things in my life. "Treat others as you'd like to be treated," "The sun is made of hydrogen gas," "Beethoven was a German composer," "black people are sub-human and should not have full citizenship." Some things are true & some aren't. I reject some things & embrace others. . . . . . May I say though, you are very good at not confronting a single thing I've said. That's to be expected though. You come from a preaching culture, not a discussion culture.

[openaircampaigners]

@Commentsallowed,

Hope you are enjoying the weekend! Yes and you have discarded some of the ideas of men and you have believed some. You live by faith and faith is only as good as the object of faith. You believe the ever changing finite uninspired words of men and I believe the Bible recorded by men but inspired by God. You have faith I have faith.

[Commentsallowed]

@openaircampaigners It sounds like you're assuming I have faith. That is to say; you assume I have a certain kind of faith. These don't sound like accusations which you are just now making against me. They sound like stock arguments that you regularly use against nonbelievers. I have never said that I have faith in "men." Also; read William Shakespeare and tell me that it's "uninspired." Read Alexander Pope, read Kahlil Gibran, listen to John Coolidge Adams,

[openaircampaigners]

@Commentsallowed,

Do you assume the laws of logic? If so show me one. I want to smell one, taste one, etc. Do you know that the sun will come up tomorrow? Do you know that your brakes will work every time you use them? Do you believe any things about the unseen past that has been recorded by historians. If so, like everyone else you exercise faith every day.

[Commentsallowed]

@openaircampaigners In 1952 John Cage premeired his piece of "music" entitiled 4'33". It is nothing more than four minutes and thirty three seconds of dead silence. He called it music and it has since been called music. Music is composed of sounds and rests placed in time. But 4'33" is not music. It is a philosophical exercise. To call it music is to abuse the patience, open-mindedness and sense of adventure of the audience. When a 3rd grade teacher tells her class that . . . . . .

[Commentsallowed]

@openaircampaigners . . . . . Poetry is simply language that rhymes, and then the laziest student in the class writes the following poem, "poop is brown, farts make sound, the floor is down, I like nouns," and then DEMANDS that his teacher stand by her claim that poetry is simply language that rhymes, this is an act of PROFOUND laziness on the part of the student. It is not actually poetry at all. It is a pervesion of the well-meaning and loose definition of poetry which has such a . . . . .

[Commentsallowed]

@openaircampaigners . . . . . loose definition so as to liberate humans for the purposes of creation. Humans NEED liberation if they are to create anything of any worth. But calling the above string of lines "poetry" is an abuse of this and is stupid on every level. The definitions of words are VERY similar. They are infused with plasticity so that we can use them for our purposes. To call my expectations that brakes work, sunrises happen, peer-reviewed archeologists and historians . . . .

[Commentsallowed]

@openaircampaigners . . . . are not involved in huge lying conspiracies, my expectations that the laws of logic (for which I have loose definitions by the way) will work tomorrow as they've worked today FAITH is intellectually lazy. What you are doing is twisting language to your own sordid devices. You are abusing the fact that lots of unproven things COULD be true. To liken my . . . . . . .

[Commentsallowed]

@openaircampaigners . . . . . . . expectations of these things to your faith is silly. One is reasonable expectation, the other just stupid and is what I said it was from the beginning; THE TURNING OUTWARD OF A WORKING PHILOSOPHY THAT WORKS FOR YOU AND SHOULD REMAIN POINTED INWARD.

[Commentsallowed]

@openaircampaigners Gloria Coates, Igor Stravinsky . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Listen to and read these people and tell me they are unispired. What a sad, narrow little view of everything you must have.

[Commentsallowed]

Religion is such a fucking joke. It is simply people taking their private "working-philosophies" that they should be applying to THEIR OWN LIVES and applying them to others. IF YOUR UNPROVABLE FANTASIES WORK FOR YOU & YOUR OWN STRUGGLES, THEN GREAT. BUT KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!! YOU DO NO GOOD SHARING IT WITH ANYONE!!

[openaircampaigners]

@Commentsallowed,

You sound happy. Anyway, I listen to Jesus' command over you.

[Commentsallowed]

@openaircampaigners What command is that?

[openaircampaigners]

@Commentsallowed ,

"And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation."

(Mark 16:15 ESV)

[Commentsallowed]

@openaircampaigners Are you reading that from a book? Well! We certainly can't argue with A BOOK now can we!! After all, if it's written down, IT MUST BE TRUE!!

[openaircampaigners]

@Commentsallowed,

Where did the ideas you are telling me about come from?

[LoveTheCity123]

I personally don't mind this, but when street preachers involve gay marriage or homosexuals, that is what makes me furious.

[BRESHEET]

That was Awesome!!!

Keep up the Good work!

[jacobsladder375]

God bless!

[swoopy009]

great illustration.

[indebt2Him]

Thank you brother with ropes :)

Become all things to all men, so you may win some. Amen. keep sharing!

[Krustbox]

This is awesome. Please never stop.

[abdhusayn93421alazi]

the bible contains porno lol

[carlos805424]

How did you do the rope trick i would like to learns

[lambchopxoxo]

that was cool. thanks for sharing it. God bless you

[ChristiansinJesus]

God bless you brother, it was good to see those three people accept tracts after the demonstration. May God's grace be upon your work. Get ready to see the LORD, time is short! God bless you all.

[Conail23]

very nice presentation

[paulgem123]

Do you believe we should keep the 4th commandments?

[openairevangelism]

Dear Adventist,

I do keep the 4th commandment because I have entered into the great sabbath of the Lord ( Hebrews 4:9-10). The author of Hebrews continually argues from the less. The priesthood of Jesus is greater than the Levitical priesthood. And the sabbath rest for NT Christians is greater than the OT sabbath keeping. Jesus satisfied the law on behalf of His people. God bless.

[paulgem123]

Dear Christian,

I am not a SDA, For thousands of years the Jews and Israelites have kept the Seventh Day Sabbath a Moedim "appointed time" that God has set for His covenant people. If you look at the days of the week it is Saturaday. Your doctrine is Greek and you know that man changed the day. But you continue to elevate your self as "the Church" and teach replacement theology that the Church replaced "Judah and Israel"

you twist the words of your Messiah in John 5:45-47 and Matt 5:17-20

[openairevangelism]

No the church does not replace Israel the church is Israel and it is made up of both Jew and Gentile (Romans 11; Eph 2:15). I have entered the sabbath rest in Christ. The sabbath in Christ is much better than the sabbath of the OT which was only a shadow of the rest that believers have in Christ. Sorry about saying you were Adventist.

[paulgem123]

Hello,

I do not want to want to offend you brother. I think what you do takes a lot of guts. When you say the Church is Israel this is simply bad theology. Because you and I agree that Messiah is the purpose of the whole bible, and He came for the "lost sheep of the house of Israel" as in Matt 15:24. If the church is Israel then the church would do what God commanded and not make their own set of rules. The Torah and Messiah are not opposed to each other they are in perfect hamony.

[paulgem123]

When you say you have entered into the Sabbath rest in Christ you misunderstand what he ment when He said I am the LORD of the Sabbath. The Son would NEVER change His Fathers commandments. You should know that man changed the Sabbath, it is no secret and they openly admit it. No One has the right or authority to change Gods commandments. If you look at the days of the week in Hebrew Saturday is the only day that fits. When you say better than the OT Shabbat you assume God changes Malichai 3:6

[openairevangelism]

Hello Paulgem,

I am not offended. Do you agree that the whole book of Hebrews argues from the lessor to the greater? Christ is greater than the angels. His priesthood is greater, etc.

What about Romans 11 and Ephesians 2:15?

[mofo34736]

@paulgem123

Rom 3:20

20 Therefore by the DEEDS of the LAW no FLESH will be JUSTIFIED in His sight, for by the LAW is the knowledge of SIN.

The law is knowledge OF sin?

This mean the the Laws or commandment are here to show use we SIN 24/7 DAYS A WEEK

AND THEY WHERE MADE TO BRING US TO JESUS CHRIST

Gal 3:24

24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor(LAWS).

[mofo34736]

@paulgem123 What you need to understand is that the LAWS are HOLY ,JUST,and PERFECT.

BuT you are not HOLY,JUST OR PERFCET ENOUGH?

(Rom 3:23)

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

(Gal 2:16)

16 knowing that a man is NOT JUSTIFIED by the WORKS of the LAW but by FAITH in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be JUSTIFIED by FAITH in Christ and not by the WORKS of the LAW; for by the WORKS of the LAW NO flesh shall be JUSTIFIED.

[mofo34736]

@paulgem123 finally U arE CURSED.

Deut 27:26

26 ‘Cursed is the one who does not confirm all the words of this law by observing them.’

Gal 3:10

10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.

Jam 2:10

10 For WHOEVER shall KEEP the whole LAW, and yet stumble in ONE point, HE is GUILTY OF ALL. U dont sin you LIE 1 JOHN 1:10.

[jimbobgeorgejohn]

@openairevangelism before I die, I want to preach like that once- or maybe more:) The Lord loves you bro!

This is a good discussion. I think it needs a little dispensation thrown into the mix hehehe! The law is never separated in the Bible-Jesus referes to it as "The Law," not "The Moral/ Cerimonial/ Sacrificial Law." He who abides by the Law is obligated to keep the whole Law. If we are to keep the 10 Commandments, we are also to stone adulterers. But we are under Grace now.

[jimbobgeorgejohn]

@openairevangelism Jesus and the rest of the New Testament also show what a life under Grace looks like.

[waterbong711]

now ppl are doing magic tricks to get ppl to pay attention to bullshit? there is no hope for humanity as long as religion exists, it only segregates people, there is no practical use nowadays, we have science to fill in the gaps that "god" fills in way too many ppls minds.

[openaircampaigners]

You disagree with religious people and, therefore, have segregated yourself from them and have sided with atheistic people like Stalin and Chairman Mao. You want religious people to stop pushing their religion on you but you want to push your non belief on people. You are free to be a non believer but you will give an account for your sin.

[williamstdog9]

Stunning what a cheap understanding you have of God.

You should come up with some intelligent points at least to tell your creator on the day of Judgment.

Here's a few: "Many wars were fought and people killed for over who "God" was." Thats a pretty good one cause there's truth to it.

Another good one will be to be able to at least QUOTE what Darwins theory was. That way at least you can FOOL yourself for a few more years that there is no God.

But I'm going to pray anyways for your soul friend.

[SmileLoveForgive]

Yes, this is how it's meant to be done. Preaching the word without shame or hesitation. Christ is the Answer to everything. AMEN!!!

[gamiezion]

what a dumbass

[openairevangelism]

Hope all is well with you.

[gamiezion]

...thanks? i hope the same for you?

[safire4real]

hes cute

[jfitness123]

I like it. my friends and I do "interview style" open air Using the camera itself to draw a crowd. We learn from each other I will probably start using illusions as well.

Thanks!!

[TruthSeekah]

awesome video brother, shalom

[mrv717]

I have been looking at a bunch of street preachers on Youtube. This is one of the best ones I have seen. There were actually people that were receptive. Praise the Lord! Keep up the good work.

~God Bless You through Jesus Christ....

[NJCHRISTIANMALE777]

my brother in Christ. Thanks for the message i preach on the subways in NYC as well . I stop using the magic tricks . We dont need to decieve people to get a crowd . Just preach the gospel brother God will do the rest.

[SELAHPAUSE]

amen brother....god bless you....but still christ was preached.

[DestroyerOfLies]

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

[SELAHPAUSE]

read yoour bible brother, the disciples as well as jesus went out into the market place to preach the gospel....stop judgeing....gbu...

[DestroyerOfLies]

nicolatians which the LORD hates. They teach the doctrine that you are saved by Grace, and grace alone - not by keeping the commandments, and the LORD hates their doctrine - because those who believe in that doctrine are like sheep without a shepherd - and are led astray.

[Brucev7]

@SELAHPAUSE Amen. Mat 28

[DestroyerOfLies]

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

[DestroyerOfLies]

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

[rightlydivide08]

I wana thank any body like this man who preaches the truth any time or any where,may the lord bless you brithers and sisters in christ. Bretheren I did it once after 911 at times square oh it was so hard people dont stop to listen,nasty sinners make you the butt of their jokes and I must say til you try it dont knock it.

[Willgz]

i really dont like people who try to push their religion on people.

[openairevangelism]

Then why are you pushing your belief that people should not push their beliefs on us?

[Willgz]

yes, religon is causing another trivial conflict

[theguyfromaustralia]

I couldn't have said it better myself.

[Xmopar01x]

You people are brainwashed. You dont know Jesus personally so you should not preach lies and deception. I am a firm beleiver and I have faith but you do not know the truth. You are preaching what you THINK is true but you really dont know. Get a hobby

[openairevangelism]

Who is your object of faith? God bless you.

[Xmopar01x]

My faith is Jesus but when I die I will let Jesus tell me what is right and open my eyes. I will not tell myself I know this is true and this is right without truly knowing.

[Brucev7]

@Xmopar01x God gives His Word in written form to His followers. That is the truth. The Holy Spirit will lead a follower as well and teach them.

[SELAHPAUSE]

you could not be a believer talking well typing like that....repent and belive the gospel

[Brucev7]

@openairevangelism  Touche'

[AREUBORNAGAIN]

Don't expect much out of ungodly people !

They can laugh but they can't love!

Warn them: REALIZE, REPENT, RECEIVE !

[DaveGrossmanSoloBass]

25 seconds in ... why do I get the feeling that Kirk Cameron is somehow involved with this? ...

[GreenEggsAndSlam]

Is *this* your card?

...Praise Cthulu!

[MannaBoBannaPeople]

Magic Tricks?

[21jonmark]

Thats an awesome method to proclaim the truth. You did well brother. Keep preaching the Truth.

[HSM4ever247]

Go Mr.Gordon!!!

:)

God is amazing!!!

[marjoe77]

good magic trick, the only problem is there is no god.

[AzaZeLgaming]

... actually I would like to see your proof for that argument you just stated there. Even the modern Atheists do not say, that "there is no God" since they inherith the burden of proof. Actually what they are saying, is that they BELIEVE, that "there is no God" ... since there is no evidence to say otherwise.

[marjoe77]

you have got me there...I should have said I don't believe in a god or gods but good magic trick.

[forakiller]

your not a god? you must be to make such a statement

God is invisible for a reason, we cannot exist in his light, we would melt like wax

[DDDDDDDD35]

Wow, praise God that you were able to deal with those distractions. Are you guys still in NYC? I live in NJ and am thinking of going to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade to pass out tracts/evangelize. Any takers?

[GospelTruth777]

Short, sweet, to the point.

Packs a powerful punch full of love.

Open Air Street Style

God Bless!!

[Xeagle7]

Excellent evangelism with class

[ThyWordHaveIHid]

Good preaching Brother i pray God blesses your efforts and we know his Word will not return void.

[just2w4tch]

canal st... ya know, you'd have better luck in Flushing off the 7 train.

[joel97dale]

Thats awesome man. Keep it up and God will do amazing things through you.

[cry0ut]

Now that's evangelism....
