Way to kick a guy when he's down, Steve! He had already admitted both to sin and to a knowledge of saving grace, but you gave him no comfort in his affliction. A true man of God will be humble and meek, and "...a bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice." - (Isaiah 42:3) You could have eased that man's obvious pain, speaking peace, your words a balm, but instead you spoke as you ought not and God's judgment is on you.
Praise God. People need to know the reality of sin and mans depravity, That salvation is only from the Lord Jesus Christ , nothing we can earn....well done brother
Wow Steve! You torment a man that is already tormented? you take a man that is already down and tell him he is a sinner and going to hell? This is how you witness? Shame on you! Why dont you get him a sandwich and tell him of all the great things about your lord? Actually I appreicate Christians like you. You make me appreicate being an Athiest even more!!
What a nice guy: telling this poor man he's headed for hell. How can he speak about the measure God, if she exists, would use on him. I like how he corners him with Exodus, but I bet if you questioned him about why he isn't living by Levitical law he'd talk about "new testament etc." If he really believes, he should be careful:
"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." Matt 7:1
It is vital to Understand where the person you are working with is in his or her life. Never try to evangelize anyone without first helping, and showing God's love through sincere actions. To understand how, why, and where they are in their lives spiritually and mentally. In-other-words become a sincere caring friend.
People don't care how much you know and have to share, until they know how much you care and want to share.
I would just like to say, he who is without sin throw the first stone . . . This is not right . . . Pray for Jim and Pray for him. Belittling someone to show your faith is not right why to go about things.
You should read a book by Walter Russell called "The Divine Illiad". Walter talked to God and God spoke to him marvelous things about his nature and I understood and loved every word of what God, the real God, says in The Divine Illiad. I have typed the entire book and can send it as a file if you would like to read it. Or to anyone who wants to know the real God. One cannot read it without it affecting them for good, because you get another whole different view of who God is, quite sane.
There's nothing wrong with being poor, but is this guy a crackhead or drunk? People are usually bums(not homeless) for a reason. I work 2 jobs to stay poor.
The better of the two men was the one who was homeless. He did not judge the one judging him. What a terrible conversation to have with a homeless man yet so typical of those who need to feel superior. You do not truly love those who you are condemning. I felt sorry for the homeless man having to endure this talk.
you don't understand what is going on here do you? What is at stake? why is this guy asking the homeless man these difficult questions? It's not a case of who's the better man! It's a case of saving a soul from everlasting torment. What would the homesless man rather endure? An uncomfortable discussion or eternity in hell? True love pulls no punches because it doesn't matter if Christians are hated, as long as they spread the truth. that is love.
Read the Lord's Prayer again and see that Jesus said,(not to go through him) but to go within, "Our Father which are in Heaven"...where did Jesus say heaven was. The Kingdom of heaven is within you...remember that. So in other words "go within to your father within your own self, and there forgive others their sins so that your sins will be forgiven. Such a simple message, this forgivness. Jesus taught it but did not make it conditional upon one having to spout some religious doctrine.
you avoid my question entirely. and what you've said, although a very narrow and fringe interpretation of scripture doesn't contradict the video in any way?
The man said it, "I don't think I will go to hell because of what somebody else believes" Those such as yourself who believe in this kind of hell, who believe that so many are going there, are yourselves making your own kind of hell right here and now. I don't believe in hell or the god of the Bible who is needy, neurotic, demanding, changes his mind, needs revenge etc.. Sounds very much like human characteristics, not the Creator of all that is who is all knowing, all wise, and everywhere.
so you judge a supernatural, inhuman God by your Human standards? You've judged an infinitly Holy God, an ancient being who has seen ages come and go throughout vast eternity, as if you would judge a child, or a fellow human being. God can't be comprehended by our human frame of reference. He changes his mind? So what, he can, he's perfect and sinless so that's his right. He makes demands? Who can argue and say that he cant? We've all sinned, he hasn't.
and DoveLady imagine this. God, who has created everything for his good pleasure, says to the stars, move to your places, shine for this long etc and follow my commands to the letter and they do it. He commands the seas that they are to cover the earth and come no further, he instructs mountains to stand or be removed, and the sky to remain like a banner over earth They do. Then he says to man or you for arguments sake come and be with me, and this little human lokos up and says 'No i will not.'
If anyone wants to know the real God who reads this, I can send you a file with the words of the Real God that you will perhaps recognize as being just that, not the needy neurotic, vengeful, prejudice against women kind of God the Bible presents. yiltrfrontline, you have brought God down to a human level when you assign him charateristics such as are in the Old Testament, things that sound all too human but would be impossible for a Creator with all power and all wisdom, everywhere present.
If anyone wants to know the one true God who reads this, not one who has been imagined or coerced into existence by somebody who doesn't agree with the true God and won't face truth and accept what he calls them to do, then i haven't got a file for you or anything else i've written. Read the word of God, the bible with an open heart and meet the God of whom angels cry 'Holy Holy Holy' night and day without ceasing. He isn't a mascot, he isn't a trophy or a back up plan. He's Lord of Lords.
Most people don't understand that you must change the mind before the circumstances will change. Jesus can give people the inner strength to get off the streets. Thanks for sharing the video and keep up the good work. Shalom!!
Here you have a poor homeless man, who probably just needed food or a place to stay, and you stand there telling him what a terrible person he is for 10 minutes and then post this video on youtube thinking you're setting some kind of example. You're an arrogant, thoughtless prick.
ok so you give him some food. you even take him home and give him a bed for the night. they are good honourable things to do. then what? eventually he dies, and God's just wrath remains on him and he will curse you from hell that instead of showing him the 40 ton truck headed his way you gave him a sedative to take his mind off it.
Are we all forgetting the verse "you don't work, you don't eat???...as for giving someone food, those verses in context are talk to brothers and sisters. MAybe God is trying to make this man look to God through his hunger??? Just a thought...
you are saved by faith. Faith in the grace that God has given through Jesus death and ressurection. You cannot be saved by works. If it were that easy Jesus would not have had to die.
It is also written that faith without works is dead. So there is some work that has to be done. You can't keep doing the same things and expect change.
The ridiculousness of Ray Comfort's preaching style lies in the fact that he can't distinguish between an active intention and an inactive one.
If you actively tell lies, you are a liar. If you do not actively tell lies, you are not a liar. The same is true for the pipe-fixing analogy, or any other example (...if you've ever put out a fire, does that make you a firefighter? If you've ever fixed a car problem, does that make you a mechanic?...etc)

What a sweet homeless man it was nice he was witnessed to. But also
to say you care about a homeless man you are obliged to feed and clothe
him as well. Still when all is said and done its great the witness was given
to him and so urgent. Well done! I will pray for Jims salvation too. Jim was very obliging
and tolerant and bless him for that. I'd like to see him in heaven.
