The Pleasures of Sin

"Regardless of whether you believe Jesus or you believe Ray, people who had never heard the gospel are burning in Hell [and:] that makes your God evil." Ryk

You are presuming that people go to Hell because they have never heard the gospel, and then, upon that erroneous presumption, say, "Therefore God is unjust." However, people go to Hell for murder, rape, adultery, lying, stealing, hatred, evil imaginations, blasphemy, etc. God owes no one mercy. All He owes us in justice. Equity is His moral o

It's a Bit of a Gamble...

"Repent of your sins and accept Jesus! As long as you do it before you die you should be fine, so have fun while you're young and become saved later in life. It's a bit of a gamble, but then again so is choosing from the thousands of religions that say they are right. Christianity, the religion that allows you to live your life however you want and get saved right before dying, it's awesome!" Nathan

These are the words of someone who is deluded enough into thinking that God is a fool. He thinks t

Illicit Sex

A little boy crept into his father's bedroom one night, grabbed his wallet and stole a crisp new $20 bill. The next day His dad found out that he had stolen the money, took him aside and said that he had especially saved that bill as a gift for the boy, and was planning on giving it to him the next morning. The boy not only missed out on the gift, but he was punished for his theft.

It may come as a shock to the average atheist, but sex didn't evolve. It wasn't an accident. Male and female were cr

A Question About a Regular Visitor

Does anyone know what kind of bird this is? It comes regularly to our backyard feeder. We call it "Bandit" because it has a red mask. It's smaller than a house finch and sparrow. We can't seem to find any information online. Thanks.For Evangelism Resources, please visit LivingWaters.com.

Tame the Beast, or it Will Kill You

"Ray, if my kid gets sick should I take him to the doctors? Or would that be interfering with the work of your God in his life?"

It was the wisdom of Solomon that said that a merry heart does good "like a medicine" (see Proverbs 17:22). So medicines are good.

Here's what we would do when our kids were young and became sick. We would pray for them, and take them to the doctor if it was more than a minor complaint. If the doctor saw fit to put him in the hospital, we would pray even more--that God

A not-so-strange question from an Atheist

"Hey Ray, I have a weird question for you. Do you suffer from insomnia? I hope not; I find it insufferable when I can't sleep."

I did suffer badly from insomnia, years ago. I actually brought it on myself. I have been getting up most nights around midnight (since 1982) each week to pray and to write. I would be up for three hours, and so stirred my mind I could never get back to sleep. I would lay awake exhausted for hours. But then I found a cure, and ended up writing a book about it called, Ove

God Always Answers Prayer

I wonder what you would think of the mentality of someone who said "Some time ago I emailed the White House and told the President that he needed to be at my house last Friday, with a gift for me. He didn't show up, so I believe that he doesn't exist." I'm sure you would think that your friend was either naive or mentally challenged.

If you have ever prayed for something and felt that your prayer didn't get past the ceiling, you are probably right. Just as there is a certain procedure that you mu

The Holocaust and the Jews

"Do you really believe the holocaust was God's punishment of the Jews?"

I would never say that God used Hitler to punish the Jews. If God treated any of us justly and punished us according to our sins, we would all be in Hell in an instant. I'm Jewish and I am as guilty as any Gentile of violating His Law.

However, you and I get to stay alive for a time because God is rich in mercy, is filled with what the Bible calls "lovingkindness," and He particularly lavished this lovingkindness upon the Jew

Do I Believe in Wizards?

"And Ray, was Thunderf00t telling the truth in his 'post-amble' when he relates 'The thing I really remember was that Ray believes in witches, wizards, demons and sorcerers."

If you don't believe that witches exist, simply Google the word "witches" and you will get 10,600,000 results. If, as an atheist, you believe that seeing is believing, I'm sure one will accommodate you. So it's true that I believe that witches exist. Do I believe that these folks that are involved in witchcraft are capable o
