Oh, like the one I was blindsided by yesterday ? And the day before that ⁉️
Mr.Cliffe is awesome! Praise God in Jesus name ❤
Amen! Agree with you 100%, God bless and thank you for commenting.👍

I have a lot of respect for Cliffe, because unlike almost every other street preacher, Cliffe accepts that evolution happened, and does not view the old testament as actual, literal history .
@@sirajaxlhe also doesnt believe in new earth creationism.
Though, cliffe does believe some of old testament is history which it is. Not all of it though such as genesis or job
@@voiddz8980
Yes, you’re certainly ccorrect about that. If the Bible mentions a certain city, or event that’s collaborated outside of the Bible, as well as perhaps some period maps, you can’t deny that’s part of history as we define it today.
He’s disrespectful.
I love seeing the students that are actually human and humble.
I am atheist but I love Cliffe. I have so much of Christ’s teachings in my family and I love and accept them. I find issues with the Church as a whole, and with sects of the faith that abuse the Bible for selfish gain or the spreading of hate. Cliffe does none of this, he is like my family. I always appreciate a religious person who can say that they are not sure if their actions will get them to heaven. It shows me that there is no ego in their actions, only a projection that their path will lead them to a life worth living and to their creator after the fact. He have no problems with that at all. If religion was explained more this way, I would probably be of the faith. Thanks Cliffe❤
Amen! What a great comment and point you make. I see exactly what you mean. The older I get and exposed to more modern faith movement(s) I too can see that we believers have done as much damage to the world's relationship with God as Lucifer has. Some of the most judgemental, cold, loveless people I've met were in church. Of course the inversion is true too; I've see/felt it. That's the mistake we as people make... we like to elevate others as if they have it all together, and when they let us down, their flaws exposed, it hits hard because we/they have been elevated to some non human standard. No person should be exalted, because we are all foul ups; from the Pope to the Mega Preachers to everyday people. The Bible teaches all are lost and need salvation, not just those people over there. Now throw in the additional dregs of fame, money, power, influence, etc. and you have a whole new ball game. I was saved by Jesus at the age of 4.5 when my mother accidentally ran me over with my dad's work van; all He said to me was don't worry, I'm with you... then it was over. And I came from a family where if you mentioned anything about God or faith you were knowingly starting a fight. Every time I tried to bring up this experience to them throughout the years, they wanted nothing to do with it; likely because of all the corruption, money grabbing, and lies they witnessed in the christian world, i.e., the Pops, Swaggerts, Bakers, etc., etc., etc... Great comment tho, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on Cliffe's ministry, he's one of my favorites too. For what it's worth, God bless!
Damn this preacher is soo good
yes Sir, he's real down to earth and doesn't have a problem with people challenging him and his beliefs..
😂😂😂😂 brainwashed simpleton
@@JohnacegaynorHe is extremely knowledgeable of biblical literature and history and also very humble and polite.
A friend just showed this guy to me. Now I can’t stop watching him. ❤️🙏
Yeah he does a really great job with his ministry and he's been doing it so long now, God bless him. Thanks for your comment, God bless!
Go watch him het destroyed in debates because Christianity is all made up with no real evidence 😁
Amen on spreading the word of Jesus Christ
Amen! Cliff's been at it for so many years, he's a good man... thanks for the comment, God bless.
I love this preacher
Agree 100%.
I dunno, he looks like the tire of guy I wouldn’t let around my kids
Why because he seems like he's down playing sin? Because that's what it sounds like to me
@@Belisarius536That’s your problem for judging a man based on appearances
@@mrhow2712Then listen more to what he is saying, instead of getting your basis of understanding from a short clip
Sir God bless you always 🙌
Cliffe is probably my favorite preacher ever, he is so good. God bless us all! Amen! Hallelujah!!!❤❤❤ 🙏
Amen, God bless!
Thank you so much Cliffe! 🤗💞💙🙌✝️💥
Jesus loves you, turn to Him
God bless us all Amen
Dude I’m from Utah and a Christian and the Mormons r crazy
I’ve always been weary of men like Cliff… it’s hard to find an angle he’s taking… he really just wants to help people
He just wants to spread info about Jesus and nothing political that is what I like him
Solid student right there 💯 he’s going places.
Awesome!
“You will find a lot of contradictions in your life” He admits it has contradictions, yet he arrogantly still believes. Read and read you will find what you seek.
Love this
Preach the truth cliffe woah!!!🎉🎉🎉
Amen, love Mr. Cliffe! God bless!
When they get chained they get freed
Imagine going to a college campus to witness to, be questioned and debated by students. Cliffe's dedication to help others....wow
Yeah, he's been doing it since the 80's and dealt with may challenging students. God has def used him to reach so many... great comment. God bless!
Awesome more and more of God’s people are takeing it to the streets
Amen, God bless!
Bro out here wearing multiple types of fabric thinking he's going to heaven. lol

He is the Man guyzz❤
Agree 100%, God bless!
That is the questian that i am afraid to hear the anwer to
I’ve a question
If anyone would like to hear it
Regarding the gospels and wether you should be skeptical of them
He didnt answer about the contradictions in the bible, though.
The gospel was not perserved and has been rewritten many times with a bunchh of contradictions, why did cliffe drag the conversation away from the question?
Watching this at 12:12am Eastern Standard Time
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, hope you liked it! God bless!

Cliff knechtle or something like that
Believers is always a sinner. I Believe in Jesus Christ and put my Faith in him, but what I feel in myself is iam always a sinner as long as iam here on earth. 😢
That goes for all of us, but the great thing is God knows what's in our hearts... the truth of who we truly are and what we really believe. God bless!
@@darkenedskiesahead3670 yah you are right God knows deep in our heart if we truly believe in him.. and he knows what we truly feel.

a big thing about evangelism is not to have "us vs them" rhetoric, but to affirm that we are all sinful
Sinful only if we accept that there is some divine law. We must accept this as being true in order to consider an act as a sin. That being said, there is nothing but opinions on the subject and therefore the fact of sin is also just an opinion. There is certainly normative morality that is imposed on the individual by society, but we do not sin against society, rather, we grant society the right to dictate the terms of our interactions in exchange for its services. Where is this divine law that you speak of that compels me to repent?
Yes you are saved by grace but also you will know them by their fruits. You cannot practice a life of sin and think you are saved.
The Bible is clear that the person who practices living a life of sin is not saved but deceiving themselves
Such as the
"Drunkard shall not inherit the Kingdom of God".
I've met and seen too many professing Christians in person and on SM who believe that they can live as they'd like and because they're "Christians" Nothing else matters!
They're gossips and fools and liars and typically quite Vulgar!
They believe that God doesn't care about any of that and if you dare to call them out on it
You're "JUDGING"...
YES, JUDGE!
But not hypothetically is the clear message that somehow is conviently,
Forgotten
Go away dude
What contradictions??? Study to show thyself approved..Rightly”dividing the word”! People read without putting things in order.. When Jesus says something who is he saying to? The Jews or the church? What time period is he speaking of? The time of the Jew the church age or the second coming and the millennium when he rules on earth? People just pick it up read here and there or someone they think is intelligent told them When they only did the same thing..
I dont think you understand what he said. He said that 'You will find contradictions that contradict your lifestyle' meaning that it will go against worldly lifestyle and views.
Please talk with Kristi Burke... she needs your help...she is lost....and liking it....
What is that he would do if he didn't belive?
the college student is the offensive one
Its a bad place
He didnt say anything about the contradictions, he ignored it and changed the subject
So reach out and debate him. If you see contradictions and are ready to back it up and debate him,Preferably on a free platform so I can watch with others, God bless you and good day sir.
I have watched every video Cliffe has put on TH-cam. He has answered that question on dozens of his videos. His answer would be no contradictions. Different perspectives because you have different authors.An analogy he uses is this... Me and you are at the corner of an intersection. We hear A screech of brakes.. a women screams and we hear a collision. You tell the cops I heard a screech of breaks and then there was a collision officer. I tell the cops I heard a women scream and then there was a collision. Both of us gave an equally valid perspective of what happened. No contractions just a different perspective.
Yes they always dodge the real questions. Then go right into preaching thier own "beliefs". You can watch his debates. He doesn't do well.
The seed doesn't look like the musterd bush? Does it? But so is the Bible it doesn't look like reality but it's Born inside every human as alive as the living word of God... Just imagine how a miracle pf wine is made so to everything else is a miracle.. time and love create the perfect life. For us all.. what are you planting today will grow up or not.. you decide what the seed will grow in to god is only a guide...
How do I preach like Mr. Cliffe
Depends on where you are in your walk with the Lord, but best to start slowly maybe find a ministry that preaches truth/helps community like Pastor Cliffe. Study the word to show thyself approved and trust the Holy Spirit to prepare you and show you when you're ready and the Lord says it's time. Never seek anything other than the Lord, His Kingdom, and the lost. Great question, God bless!
@@darkenedskiesahead3670Thank you so much. Please help me How do I explain the Trinity to a muslim
@@germistoninternetcafe Great question! And a very difficult one to fathom... 1) Your role is to preach the Gospel of Christ as outlined in scripture. 2) Salvation comes through the power of the Holy Spirit, He does the drawing and convincing, not our preaching. 3) All we can do is share truth from scripture and rely on God's Holy Spirit to do the rest. Power comes from the Holy Spirit we're just the vessel... the same as a farmer uses a seed broadcaster to cast the seed, God uses us to cast the seed of the Gospel. Be lead of the Lord, don't worry about winning debates and arguing points. Just share the Lord's Word in love and temperance and rely on the Holy Spirit to use your voice. Those who do receive Christ usually only do so after many many knocks at their door before they finally open up to the Lord. Just keep sharing the Lord's Gospel and let the seeds fall where they will. Remember the Lord's parable of the types of soil in Matthew 13. The Holy Spirit will guide you, God bless!
@@germistoninternetcafe P.S. Here's a great web page with a very insightful teaching on preaching about the Trinity to non believers and Muslim believers.

You might want to put which UT since there is more than 1
Why is he arguing with the youth about his beliefs? Could it be because full grown adults don’t have time to debate with religious predators because they’re too busy building and maintaining culture, society and such.
He’s not arguing. We believe in the word of god, which is the Bible. The Bible tells us to preach the word of god, which is what he does. He’s not forcing it on to them either, he’s correcting their false beliefs about what we believe in. He’s not handcuffing them to a chair and forcing this stuff down their throat, they could walk away any time they want. But he’s giving them a chance yo hear about god, and he’s giving them a chance to live. If you or anyone else don’t believe, so be it. But this what we’re called to do.
Why did he ignore the question about all the contradictions in Bible?
Because after centuries, Christians can’t reconcile the important ones. Like, when people arrived at the tomb, was the stone already rolled back, or did they have to roll it back? And who was at the tomb waiting for them?
Important differences, which are all the more glaring when we know the synoptic gospels were copied from each other, with passages from Mark copied word for word into Matthew and Luke.
@@dansmith7009
I'm confused, by your assertion?
For starters all four Gospels state that the stone had been rolled away before the mourners arrived, what is it you're having difficulties with?
Also, yes, the Gospels are similar yet subtly different in places, as you would expect.
If they weren't, then they'd be contractions!
If they were exact copies, how would they be considered different?
Mark is generally accepted as the oldest of the Gospels and it is believed by many that a lost Gosple referred to as the
"Q Source" may have even predated Mark and it was one or both of these sources that Matthew and Luke relied on.
Again what is your difficulty here?
Each Gospel was written to a different intended audience so each does have a slightly different approach but these only compliment each other.
Your "difficulties" aren't anything new and
There are answers to every objection.
These were easy,
Throw a few more harder ones my way if you'd like, let's get to the bottom of this, if we may....
He didn't, he explained why you may perceive them that way and did so beautifully
@@METVWETV you are wrong. Matthew 28:1-2: Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.
They arrived, AND THEN the stone was rolled back.
Also, who went to the tomb? Was it Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, those two and Salome, or those two, Joanna, and a group of other women? Was it two women, or a crowd of women?
The q source is a post hoc explanation that there is very little evidence for, and scholars generally assume it to explain why there are passages that match between Matthew and Luke, but not mark. However Matthew and Luke definitely relied on mark, because there are passages that are directly copied word for word. So I don’t see a reason why it doesn’t make just as much sense for whichever was 3rd to have plagiarized from both of the first two, and therefore we don’t need to assume additional sources for no reason.
I agree, each gospel was written to a different audience, so they took the original story and made more changes to it based on theological reasoning rather than facts.
I would expect, if the gospels were independent stories, for them to match in important details, like how many people went, and if there was an earthquake that moved the stone after they arrived, even if there were differences like who it was that went.
@timsans1170 No, he ignored the question and redirected. There are thousands of contradictions but he failed to address one.
You are only a sinner if you believe in sins.
Yes! Just as your only a man if you believe you are... you can be whatever you wish just don't believe in what you are and presto, rearrangeo you're a women. Just don't believe you're a man. Same with gravity, just make sure you don't believe it's real before you step off the edge of the cliff or else you might hit bottom. Very good point indeed!
That was only clever if you believe it was
Not so fast…..That makes absolutely no sense! You are a sinner whether you believe it or not…
This is figurative speech. For those of you who think this makes no sense, it’s saying people who don’t believe in sin, or don’t believe in god, they’re not sinning in their eyes. If you KNOW god is real, you KNOW you’re a sinner.
@@caroljaymes3880I’m talking to you..
Fellow sinner? No! Ince you become born again Gid calls you "A Saint." You are justified by faith and no longer "A Sinner." Meditate on 1Corinthians 1:2, :30, 2Corinthians 6:14-18, Hebrews 12:22-23, John 9:31, etc.
We become a redeemed sinner. We sill have that instinct to sin, that won't go away until we loose our meat suit and get our eternal body.
Paul lamented *he* still sinned, even though he didn't want to.
When you become TRULY BORN AGAIN (Acts 2:1-42, 2Corinthians 6:14-18, Romans 8:1-14, Galatians 5:16-26, Matthew 7:21-27), you know you're A Saint!!! It begins by believing it by faith!!! You hate sin and Love holiness! The BLOOD DOES HIS WORK continually! (1John 1:6-7).
I am trying work out what an ad hominem attack followed by posing two imagined ideas of a god, neither evidential, can be seen as wise words.
Hello mdug, no one attacked anybody... jeez. He said you're a sinner like me, we're in the same boat. Funny tho, how you then immediately commence in belittling the Preacher's faith in his God... calling it "imagined." Pot, meet kettle... kettle, meet pot. It's called faith. A term not welcomed in the scientific community(s). If you can't taste it, touch it, smell it - prove it... it does not exist!
No scientist will ever be able to measure, test for, or quantify the absolute existence of a creator outside our physical realm or dimension(s). Not a possibility. It's not possible to prove a spiritual, or out of our realm, entity with purely physical perception, reasoning, knowledge, understanding, tools, etc. If God Himself appeared to you tonight; shook your house apart, demanded you believe, and left you untouched in a pile of rubble; no one would believe you, for one, but there would be no way you could prove His existence afterward.
FYI, I hold Atheists in very high regard, because they have at least looked into the matter of a God/Creator and said no thank you. I have no problem with these folks whatsoever and can live side by side with them no problem. You do your thing and I'll do mine. You tell me your thoughts and I'll yell you mine and we'll make up our own minds for ourselves. I pity those who are so wrapped up in everyday life, they never take the time to even look into the matter for themselves to make a decision one way or the other.
In truth, everything is dying all around us... the fancy cars we drive, the home we live in, clothing, our relatives, friends, pets, galaxy, etc. Science will definitely interject concepts such as Noether's theorem on energy conservation, and how energy can not be created nor destroyed, ever. But poo poo any thought of an afterlife where one's energy or spirit might be transmitted to a continued existence in another realm. That's crazy talk and should be censured no doubt. And if anyone thinks that kind of thought is ignorant or impossible, so be it. That's their decision to make; I applaud it!
@darkenedskiesahead3670 he said, "... with your lifestyle." It was a direct ad hominem supposition. Backing up with a tu quoque doesn't undo it.
His faith was not in point in this clip. He proposed two ideas of a god and which one he rejected. It does not demonstrate anything other than he assumed a god and assumed his interlocutor had a bad lifestyle.
@@mdug7224 yes, it was a wicked ad hominem attack on a fragile young college student. Can't think of anything worse... Rumor has it he required months of therapy to recover and subsequently, never graduated. It was just two men discussing their beliefs and views on the reality of Jesus Christ, the Gospels, and the contradiction(s) therein. I guarantee no college students were harmed during the making of these videos, I promise. Here's a link to the entire clip if you're interested in viewing it, so you can see for yourself.

@@mdug7224 He said "I think you'll find contradictions with your lifestyle" referring to the student reading the Gospels.
I don't think that's an attack on anyone. Now, I could be wrong. This particular student could be morally perfect. But I'm going to go with the safe bet and say probably not. And if that is the case, that he's not morally perfect, the Gospels are going to contradict his lifestyle.
@@Malhalocexactly
So, since the Bible doesn't condemn slavery, he thinks that slavery is moral?
yes it does
@@No.1.Offender It does what? It condemns slavery? Have you seen all of the verses that tell the Jews what they are allowed to do with slaves? Or did you just skip over those verses?
slavery was a huge difference from how it was way back then vs recently, theres a story where a slave owner died and the slaves lived terrible lives bc they had no one to take care of them, the difference from recent slavery vs way back then slavery was, u got a job, had food water and shelter, and had rights to live with a family. but you cant forget the exodus in the bible, God is saving the hebrews from slavery, bc it was really bad what they were doing to the hebrews
@@scite_1170 A story where? And there is no historical evidence of an exodus from Egypt.
@@DrewSmithTPA we have fouund sandals, chairots, and bunch of other stuff where it is said that moses parted the sea, where he was headed off too, is the place is hebrews were to be at, and i would have to find the story
Why did you title it offended though? The young man was very polite.
The pastor stated "you'll find plenty of contradictions with your lifestyle..." to which the student stated,"that's a personal attack on me..." he was initially offended until the discussion progressed further and Pastor Cliffe clarified his statement.
@@darkenedskiesahead3670 thank you for the clarification. I didn’t hear that at the beginning

@@darkenedskiesahead3670 god bless you as well!
You have much more evidence when you go to buy a new house or a new car and yet you're meant to believe and entrust your eternal soul based on crap evidence
The evidence is there and easy to find... if one seeks for it. After all, at the end of the day we are all held to account for ourselves against the truth, whether it be the nothingness science prescribes, Buddha, Allah, Jesus, money, etc. You can seek after the truth, play GTA all day, or say its all stupid and pursue stuff that just will end up in the trash one day, or chase a hobby, chase women who will soon be wrinkly grandmas, or whatever spins you crack. Although we're slowly loosing our freedoms on this planet, we're all given freewill in what to believe for ourselves... good luck.
You believe in many things you can't prove
This guy is trying to be a Christian Jordan Pederson and it’s so, so bad. She doesn’t even realize that everyone is laughing at him, except the people in the comments here.

None of us are sinners, because sin doesn't exist.
