A Good Question

"Hi Ray, I have a sincere question: How do you know God is of the Christian variety? Equally devout Muslims disagree. If I'm on the fence, I need a better answer than 'I just KNOW. God has revealed himself to me.'"

Good question. The thing that makes Christianity utterly unique is the cross. For it to make sense you have to back up from Jesus to Moses. He was the one who received the Ten Commandments from the hand of God. The Law of Moses was given to reveal God's standard of "righteousness."

Careless Atheist

"I became an atheist to distance myself from people like you, but since becoming an atheist I've found that I don't care – I honestly don't care – if there is a God. I don't care if there is an afterlife. I don't care if I'm going to Hell. Oh, you can say all you want about that, I just don't care. You can't save me."

And I don't believe a word you are saying. If you became an atheist to distance yourself from people like me, why are you writing to me? You may say that you don't care, but you do,

An atheist's question . . .

"Do you ever doubt the existence of God? And if so, why?"

Do I ever doubt the existence of God? Not for a moment. However, an intellectual belief in God's existence is really a non-issue. This is why: I live in a solid, well-made house. Do I ever doubt the existence of a builder? Not for a moment.

My wife has a well-made and reliable vehicle. Do I ever doubt (for some strange reason) the existence of a car maker? Not for a moment.

I own a well-made computer...I'm sure you get the message. I nev

Not the Wisest Thing to do

"So if I were to blaspheme the Holy Spirit would you still try to convert me?" Templar Ben

I can't "convert" a soul. It's God that does the converting. However, I will continue to plead with you and others to seek His mercy as long as I have a heartbeat.

There was a group of folks who received national publicity some time ago who aired videos of themselves on line, saying that they were blaspheming God. They were called "The Blasphemy Challenge," and their challenge was, "Do you dare accept the Bl

Why Does God Allow Evil?

"The God described by the Bible is omnipotent and can prevent anything. The God described in the Bible is claimed to be good. Now if I had the power to prevent a little girl from being raped I would. The free will of the rapist would mean nothing at all to me. Anyone who placed the free will of the rapist over the safety of the little girl is evil. If someone stood by and watched the girl be raped and did nothing they would be as bad as the rapist. Your God is said to sit by and watch endless ha

"I Have no Belief, Therefore it Doesn't Exist."

"Can you explain to me how these two ideas can peacefully co-exist? 1. God's moral standards are not the same as man's standards. 2. Man's moral standards were defined and then given to us by God. I've pointed this out before but never received a response. I'd very much like to hear an explanation."

The answer is simple. God's moral standards are the same as man's moral standards. Morality is defined in the Ten Commandments. Anything that falls short of their absolute moral perfection is called

Heaven is Coming to Earth

"Ray -- what will you do to pass the time when you get to Heaven? Your ministry is obviously a great passion, and a great motivating factor. What will you do to pass the time for eternity with no-one to save?"

Think for a moment of the best meal around which you have wrapped your salivating lips. Think of the most amazing animals and fish you have ever seen, or the most breath-taking snow-caped mountains, or tall green trees. Think of the greatest moment of pleasure you have experienced, whether

The Low Opinion of Women

"Any Christians out there want to take on why the Bible has such a low opinion of women? The Bible is so much more damaging to society in that regard than porn, in my opinion."

You obviously don't know your Bible, or perhaps you having been visiting atheist websites and getting a lopsided view of the Scriptures from a few verses from the Old Testament. The Bible highly esteems women. Take the time to read the Book of Ruth or the Book of Esther and other parts of the Old Testament, where women a

I Had a Dream...

I had a dream. I was riding my bike around a corner when I saw three hungry-looking jaguars waiting for me. They were massively powerful, and the first one's eyes had a look of absolute determination. I didn't take the time to look into the eyes of the other two.

I knew I couldn't outpace them, but I desperately tried. It was no use. In seconds I would be dead meat. Do you know what I did to get away from them? I woke up.

You have a terrifying three-fold dilemma in front of you. Death is waiting
