Words of Comfort: Timeless dimension.

“Ray.... if something can't come from nothing... where did God come from?” Paul Boyer
God created time. He is not subject to it. He is eternal... outside of time, something the Bible calls "eternity." That is the timeless dimension you will enter when you die.

Words of Comfort: "He is malevolent..."

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then He is not omnipotent. Is He able, but not willing? Then He is malevolent. Is He both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” Stuart O'Donnell
Christopher Hitchens left one out. It is the fact that God is morally perfect, and when He punishes those who are evil it will include liars, thieves, adulterers, (He considers lust to be adultery), blasphemers...

Words of Comfort: No heaven, no hell.

"I'm just thankful there is no Heaven and there is no Hell." Dean Christiansen. 
You can only “believe” that there is no Heaven and no Hell. You cannot "know" because you have no trustworthy authority from which you can derive knowledge.  Proof of their existence, however, depends on God's faithfulness to fulfill His promise to manifest Himself to all who call upon Him. This comes through repentance and faith in Jesus. Millions have found Him to be utterly faithful, and we can o...

Words of Comfort: Rabbit trails.

“I know you are an evangelist and I am trying to decide whether to trust your God or not, but I am not okay with my intellect being circumnavigated.  Thanks in advance, I know this isn't the proper forum to ask this sort of question, yet, I feel inclined to try. Not sure I agree with your views, but, I do agree with the sincerity with which you seem to proselytize people. Just don't know if I could ever accept the concept of eternal damnation and some other things.”  KrulukThe reaso...

Words of Comfort: Survival of the fittest.

"I guess you consider it moral for a guy to get stoned to death for gathering sticks on the Sabbath." Kypros Christodoulides 
If you're an atheist, it's not immoral in the slightest. Nothing is or can be immoral. It's just a matter of survival of the fittest.  Your atheistic worldview believes that killing babies in the womb is okay because society says it is. So is adultery, pornography, blasphemy and homosexuality. There's no right or wrong…there’s only survival of the fittest--wha...

Words of Comfort: Freed from slavery.

“The ten commandments that christians cherish starts out: Exodus 20 The Ten Commandments:  1 And God spoke all these words: 2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought  you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. Did God bring you out of the land of Egypt, out of slavery? NO!?!?!? Then I guess these laws are not for you, are they?” Samatha Swartz
You are sadly mistaken. The Bible is filled with “typologies”—leprosy is a “type” of sin, Joseph is a type of Christ, the wilderness of t...

Words of Comfort: Painting Hitchens.

When I did a painting of Christopher Hitchens I thought I might get shot at from both sides. However, the Bible says to "honor all men," so that dealt with any Christians who may have been offended. I was bracing myself for an onslaught from angry atheists, and it didn't happen.  In fact, I was encouraged by a kind and thoughtful atheist who sent me this:
Dear Ray Comfort,
I am a staunch atheist. I can be very critical of those who believe in God.  I am also very critical of yourself...

Words of Comfort: Mom & fur babies.

"My mom means more to me than anyone or anything in this world. My best friend comes next, then my fur babies. I don't see a problem with it considering I don't believe in any god." Christina Elaine
Your wonderful mom and your beloved fur babies are gifts from God. They are not the random and accidental result of an explosion of nothing in space. 
You should be thankful to Him for His incredible kindness, loving Him with heart, mind, soul and strength.

Words of Comfort: "I reject all gods..."

“I reject all gods and goddesses not just yours. I reject [the] Bible God for the same reason you reject Allah.” Beth Thompsom
This isn’t true. The Christian doesn’t reject false gods because they don’t exist. The Bible calls Satan "the god of this world," the one who blinds the minds of the lost, who came to “kill, steal and destroy.”
The skeptic rejects the Creator because he or she loves their sin and doesn’t want to be morally responsible to Him. His Word says that we "love the darknes...

Words of Comfort: Nazi war criminal.

I watched a program recently about a group pf Jews who tracked down and killed a Nazi war criminal. To justify their actions the commentator said that these men tracked him down because they considered him “worthy of death.” That’s a telling phrase. It reveals that these Jews valued the lives of the thousands of Jews the Nazi murdered. They were good men who wanted to see the scales of justice leveled.  So he was worthy of the death sentence.
God is so good and so esteems justice that He...
