    Thank you Ray for your obedience for the Lord. I’m a 16 y/o boy that once commented on your video saying that I was born again and that I still struggled with porn. It hasn’t been too long when I indulged in various sinfull activities. I was indifferent about it, even tho I prayed every night ”Lord change my heart”. I really didn’t want Him to save me, I enjoyed all the sin I was drowning in. Glad to say I was brought to repentance and my dirty garments were washed by Jesus’ holy blood. He dressed me in white garments, therefore I’m held blameless and holy before God and my conscience is clean. All glory to Jesus!

And here it is, plain as day. With how simple it is, how could I not understand it? How could I not understand how simple it is? The only explanation is that I was blind but now I see.

I'm a musician and I have a hard time concentrating on the words when the background music has this much movement to it. Like a film score, the background music can overshadow the words or very subtly anchor them. I'm so happy to see that you are providing scripture reading.

Thank you 💖 Listening to this crying as l had asked you to record you reading the Bible and the Bible that speaks loudest to me is the King James it's my favourite. I am really humbled, understanding God would remind me to just ask and He cares so much to answer anything that is according to His Will. So Lord l ask in your Precious Name for the total healing of my Grandson Dustin. For the demon to be cast out, (that tumour). He has been diagnosed with an in operable mass in the middle of the rightside of his brain to be demolished with no evidence of any harm left to his 3 year old body. That he shall live and declare the Works of the Lord. And this is marvellous in our sight Lord Jesus. I love you and trust you Lord. You have never let me down before ever and l know You alone l can trust even though l fail you, You never fail me. I love you always no matter what.! You are Good and only do Good! Love you Jesus, in Your Name l ask boldly give me my Answer Yes and Amen. Thank You Lord! Xxxxxxxxxx 🙏😘🥰💖

    AMEN. Exactly why The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ must be preached in the context of The Scriptures because the American political landscape encourages the prosperity gospel just like many false teachers and prophets they're wolves in sheep's clothing and narcissistic, vindictive, uncaring and lying charlatans with no interest in seeing the souls of Men and Women saved by Grace through faith in Christ our Lord 🙏❤️👊. Ancient Israel is thousands of years old but many world empires were around when the Israelites were first Hebrews before and after being enslaved by ancient Egypt. Obviously many cultures are older than ancient Israel it doesn't mean that The Bible isn't true since The Scriptures have been around much longer since God created the Heavens and the Earth over 14 thousand years ago as the 7 Days of Creation are 7 thousand years as a Day to The Lord our God is a thousand years as Psalm and 2 Peter says. ATHEISM AIN'T GOT NOTHING NEW OR BETTER TO OFFER THAN THE VERY RELIGIOUS BELIEFS THEY'RE CRITICAL OF SO IT'S HYPOCRISY AT IT'S FINEST 😂. Hello this is for all you Atheists, unbelievers and skeptics. I'm going to address a few misconceptions and lies about God's Character and His Word. The Bible doesn't support chattel slavery or anything else Immoral. Ok so Atheists and unbelievers say God is either Immoral, incompetent or not responsible so let's see what The Scriptures actually say. God revealed himself and created a nation in a real, historical context. It was a world with a slave-based economy, with city states often at war with each other, with polygamous marriages to ensure the continuation of family lines. The laws of the Old Testament regulate this behaviour. Slaves are to be treated humanely (Exodus 21:11). They are given rights and not seen as mere possessions. Hebrew slaves were able to buy their own freedom. Human trafficking is condemned (Exodus 21:16). In contrast to the law code of Babylon, Old Testament Israel was a light to the nations. The Old Testament law and narratives do not stand alone. Jesus is now the best example of what we read. So the moral teaching of the Bible cannot be summarised by a quote taken out of context from the Old Testament to demonize God and His Word. Slavery was permitted in Old Testament law but it was regulated by God giving the Israelites instructions on how to fairly and humanely treat their slaves (it was like indentured servitude where someone could work for you if they owed debts or needed income not cruel like chattel slavery). God allowed the people of Israel to own slaves since they themselves has already experienced over 400 years of generations of Egyptian slavery and knew how inhumane it was to be beaten, overworked and taxed so God set them apart from other nations and cultures around them by giving them a fair way to treat their slaves since slavery had already existed in the world but it doesn't mean God condoned it just used it for His Will to bring Good And in the light of the whole scriptural teaching, we find the reasons for its ultimate abolition (Ephesians 6:9; Colossians 4:1-3; Philemon 15-16 and Galatians 3:28). The Word of God provided the moral standard against slavery in the Roman Empire and against the slave trade in the New World. But what of genocide or holy war in the book of Joshua? Several things could be pointed out. The use of warfare in the ancient world did not always mean literal total destruction, even when events are described in such terms. Furthermore, the book of Joshua does not describe a genocide. It is not a race who are being wiped out, as in genocide, but a religious practice which was often appalling and degrading. Those who repent (like Rahab from Jericho or Ruth) are not destroyed but become part of Israel. It is not the racial group that is in view but their "detestable practices". However, after all is said, we must still acknowledge that God brought judgment on the nations of Canaan. It is not our place as believers isn't to sugar-coat the Bible. For some skeptics, this is enough to make God a moral monster. But the fact is that Jesus continued to affirm that God is a Judge who will bring a future judgment on all peoples and all nations. God’s judgment will be just. The list of Old Testament stories rejected by critics often leads to a similar dismissal of the New Testament teaching of Jesus on the existence of hell. After all, what was the Flood of Genesis or the conquest of Joshua if not a glimpse of future judgment? Hell does not demonstrate cruelty on God’s part, but it does demonstrate His Holiness and our moral accountability. Perhaps this is the real reason many people rail against the God of the Bible? It is not that they think He is a moral monster, but that they are afraid He is a moral Judge, and that has implications for our behaviour now. God is an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being and we as His creatures have Eternal souls and spirits so the punishment for our sins against Him must therefore also be Eternal but so must the reward for righteousness that's why He sent His Son Jesus to live a perfectly righteous and sinless Life (which none of us could ever possibly expect to do) suffer the humiliating and torturous death of crucifixion to shed His Own Blood willingly so that all who willingly accept His gift of salvation by grace through faith in Him will be saved and given Eternal life because that's what God wants is for us to willingly accept His gift of salvation and choose life. Exodus 21:20-21 literally speaks about capital punishment befalling anyone who mistreats their slaves so yes people are taking Scripture out of context to demonize God who literally promises that slaves who are mistreated under someone else's authority is to be avenged. When we hear the word “slavery” we think of innocent human beings, kept prisoner for life, having no rights under law and so reduced to animals. This is clearly immoral because it is unjust: the slave has done nothing to deserve the treatment. The situation described as “slavery” in the Bible was nothing like this. It is more accurately described as one of indentured servitude. Many “slaves” were indentured servants, working for a term of years Some other “slaves” were prisoners. There were no prisons. Prisoners had to work to live like everyone else. Some had life sentences. Some served a term and were released. People didn't beat their good slaves but treated them well and protected their assets thus. But no matter how rebellious a slave was, you couldn't just beat them to death. And if you knocked out their tooth or damaged their eye then you had to set them free. (Exodus 21:26). God wasn't using what other nations did because He wanted to set His Chosen People of Israel apart from the cruel, inhumane and unjust systems other cultures had so He gave them a fair way to treat their slaves and servants. There is a lot of ignorance on this topic which is understandable given the age we live in but it's not the nefarious set up we think of when we think of modern slavery. The question Atheists must ask themselves is how come the Jews aren't being accused of slavery and human trafficking if they're guilty of it in The Bible and why would white slave owners rip out pages from The Old and New Testament Scriptures to justify their owning blacks as slaves if The Bible already justified slavery?
