Ray Comfort: A Brief Summary

Improved Essays
When reading the written reviews based off of Ray Comfort’s documentary, the reviews were as I expected, harsh and angry right away. Even some Christian organizations and scientists didn’t like the flow and the way Comfort went on in his video. Dr. Hugh Ross is a creation scientist and president and founder of the Reasons To Believe Christian organization. He had one of his staff members write a review saying how the video hurts evangelism more than evolution and asked where in scripture does Jesus mock unbelievers who had different views than his?
Comfort, in my thoughts, never was attacking the students and professors he talked to. He was simply posing basic questions to them individually, asking that if evolution is as true as they make it out to be. Many could name countless examples off the top of their heads. These were not attacks, but more of a reality check to show them that they have faith in the experts in the field in evolution. While we, as believers of Christ, have faith in the everlasting perfect God. Not very hostile indeed we as Christians believe in scripture because of faith alone in Christ.
Reasons To Believe (RTB) wasn’t the only organization to lash out against the film. BioLogos, an evolutionist group, went as far as posting RTB’s review on the

Throughout the film Comfort is not “stirring the pot” as critics claim. He shows compassion and is only expressing what he and other Christians see, that those who show blind faith in a theory that has no concrete evidence are lost. Concerning notes of Gospel come out of Comforts mouth, as he talks to the guests at the end of the film. He explains to them that God made the Earth and everything in it perfectly in the beginning, that man are of intelligent design not a random mistake that turned out well. God sent his son born under law to redeem us from our own mistakes, because that is how wonderful and merciful our God is to his

    Jonathan Edwards was a religious pioneer in his time. He fought in the name of God and believed that he was serving God with all intents of living a righteous life. He spoke among a congregation and gave sermons regarding religious guidelines and the way of prosperity. His tone in his sermon is very sporadic and tend to flux throughout the speech, making it rather confusing to get a general idea of whether or not he is angry or coming from a place of compassion. The way he gets his point across, using a range of tones, provides the audience with the appeal and idea he is trying to stress.…

    Puritan preacher, Johnathan Edwards, is most remembered for his sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” which uses a mix of imagery, logical reasoning, and emotional appeals, to stir the audience and push them toward repentance. Edwards' sermon addresses the spiritual needs of his audience and is effective in persuading them to repent and embrace Christianity.

    Because of these experiences, he has become a stronger person squelching the rude comments people his culture say about homosexuals. He has developed a sense of relentless when it comes to others ridiculing him and will not stay quiet when that time comes. He is not afraid to speak out even if his own family is the one being rude. He has stayed quiet for too long and now that he has more experience with the oppressions he has had to deal with, he will not tolerate that behavior anymore.…

    As one once said, “Take everything with a grain of salt”. This statement proves useful when dealing with historical film adaptations, in particular, The Crucible (1996). Some dispute whether the historical interpretations of the film bare some truth or exploit historical inaccuracies for modern entertainment. Even though The Crucible (1996) contained accurate depictions when it came to general information about the subject of the film, minor details lack similar accuracy. Therefore, making this book the film adaptation an invalid, unreliable historical interpretation about the 1692 Salem witch trials.…

    Reproductive technology is an amazing resource for many couples who are unable to reproduce ‘naturally’. It is controversial though as it can have many clinical down sides which and public perception plays a major role in people accepting the technologies.5 This is similar in the film as the scientists initial reaction is one of disbelief and shock, but which later transform into awe not only when seeing the dinosaurs themselves, but the media portrayal of the park. The controversy becomes a quiter discussion when the topic is portrayed in a positive, more conducive setting.6…

    Inherit The Wind Analysis

    Cash has dependably been an enthusiasm to humankind, and individuals will do anything to get their hands on it. Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee's Inherit the Wind displays that the whole play is paraded as a sort of business scheme. Inherit the Wind demonstrates the spectacle of the Scopes Trial because both show the persecution of those who go against the dominant trend, individuals commodify themselves, and hatred is commercialized. Oppression to those who go against the dominant trend presented in the play, reflects to the 1925 Tennessee Scopes Trial in sense of the controversial fight between religion and science. Christianity was strictly believed by majority during the settings of the Scopes Trial and there was a general lack of evolutionists during that time because it was…

    As I was reading this article I was angry and felt as if i would not agree with anything said, however, once I regarded the time period and allowed myself to be open to the opinions of others, I began to see some similarities. They were few, but similarities nonetheless. I agree with Macarthur in the aspect of some psychologists disregarding the ability to be assisted by prayer, reading the Bible and meditation with God. I believe that those things are important and vital to finding peace and well as strength through mental and emotional difficulties. Practicing “Christian” Psychologists should never advise against them or promote activity that go against Biblical teaching.…

    “ What to say to a man who tells you he prefers to obey God than to obey men, and who is consequently sure of entering the gates of Heaven by slitting your throat?” Dr Richard Reilly Wrote an essay published in Philosophy Now, in which he discusses how he approaches the topic of “Questioning God” with his students. Reilly begins with the above quote from Voltaire—not in the published version, only in the copy given to his students—where he captures his main idea in one simple statement. If a man is truly loyal to his idea of God, then a man standing in his way will perish by his “holy” hands. Throughout history humans have made it clear that, because we are social creatures that live in relation to one and other, Religion will always be a…

    With most children, nine times out of ten, will not be able to understand the meaning of or true reason for salvation. “General exposure to religion when you are young is not a bad thing, as long as you are also offered the tools to question it. Hughes did not have that option - if he had not stood up, or if he stood up and walked way - that would be the end of him. Unfortunately, that is not just "a sign of the times", and that there are many children who are rejected by their friends and families for a lack of faith.” (Rodin).…

    Passion Of Christ Analysis

    What I have learned its either you’re either for it and all it represents with seeing Christ suffer like no other film has done to date or you’re against it and simply hate the violence and are one of those who say it’s too ‘pornographic” and has too many extreme images to watch but just remember if you’re a Christian and you saying that you better re-evaluate your life. One thing I have learned about this film “The Passion of the Christ” one theme that I have realized now is that, after all the reviews and negatives from the film and all the hate against the movie you can tell this film messes with you physiologically. It really can get inside you especially if people are reacting the way they have been throughout the years from watching this film you know its…

    As I sat and watched this movie for the second time in my life, I could view it a little differently than I had before. The first time I watched this, I was with my roommate who absolutely loves this movie. She talked about how amazing it was and finally I gave in and I said, “Let’s watch it.” I watched it like I would watch any new movie, paying attention to the story, not knowing there was a real science behind it. This time when I watched it, I could see the story from a whole different angle.…
