@@cjtrouble some other apologists you might enjoy who have debates and lectures: John Lennox - math/science (cliffe likes him) Hugh Ross - astrophysics Gary Habermas - history of Jesus Andy Stanley - pastor who aligns well with cliffe's teachings.
The man in the red. He truly sat there humbly and listened. You can see in his eyes and his face that he was really taking in what Cliffe had to say and possibly even was honest with himself enough to realize there was holes in his thinking. I really appreciate that young man. This is an old clip so I pray that since this interaction, he has given himself to Jesus Christ our lord and has had a beautiful life and built a family. Praise The Lord.
i love watching these old days. people gathering around, chillin around cliffe, sitting eating with the same question asking cliffe and stuart. the diffrence is. people seems more agresive now somehow. or mybe its just my feeling. Love the Video.
No, you're not the only one. God has really equipped this gentleman to give very effective and compelling answers in doing apologetics for the Gospel of our Savior Jesus. May the Lord continue to bless him and his son, who is also a smart and wise follower of Christ.
That book is a lie. There‘s no mention of a mormon in the Bible. No early church or church father record ever mentions something like that. Scripture contradicts them as well. Turn to a church of Christ. God bless.
What do you mean by “ cool”?What’s “cool” to you may not be “cool “ to me and Jesus is not ambiguous like that. Jesus Christ is “the Lamb of God , who takes away the sin of the world.” John 1:29 He is the propitiation for the sin of everyone in the world, so we need an adjective that is better than “cool” like Righteous, holy, powerful. Jesus Christ deserves to be more than just “cool “
Ambiguousness is the main selling point of the Bible, Along with fear and love. "Numbers" god spoke directly to the priest to create a "bitters" to induce abortions as punishment, to the wives accused by their husbands. God is allowed to do all without reason so,... guess that is your point? Great deity, we have thousand if not more deity's to follow What sin? And if he takes away the sin of the world, then by that standard there is no sin in the world as Jesus in John1:29 says so.(read more) Dig deeper find the bad to go along with the good and figure it out for yourself, no blinders Reading the Bible disproves god, but doesn't invalidate your faith or hopes. Have a good day.
@@georgekantstandu4501 The Bible stands as a rich anthology encompassing diverse genres such as history, poetry, prophecy, and letters. Its complexity often leads to various interpretations, yet Christians hold that through prayer, diligent study, and guidance from the Holy Spirit, one can gain clarity and understanding of its teachings. While its multifaceted nature may present challenges, it does not diminish the Bible's value; rather, it invites deeper exploration and engagement. In Numbers 5, the passage describing the "Bitter Water" test presents a ritual for a woman accused of adultery, often misconstrued as a literal punishment or method for inducing abortion. However, scholars view it symbolically within its ancient Near Eastern context, where such rituals were commonplace and not universally prescriptive. The assertion that "God is allowed to do all without reason" reflects a misunderstanding of Christian theology. Christians believe in God's sovereignty, understanding His actions as purposeful expressions of justice, love, and righteousness, even if not always comprehensible to humans. Christianity is unequivocally monotheistic, teaching the existence of one God revealed in three persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. While respecting other religious beliefs, Christians maintain that Jesus Christ is the unique and definitive revelation of God to humanity. John 1:29 refers to Jesus as "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world," highlighting the Christian belief in Jesus' atoning sacrifice. This does not imply the eradication of sin but signifies the breaking of its power, offering forgiveness and reconciliation with God. Christians are encouraged to read the Bible critically, engaging with its accounts of human imperfection and divine intervention. Both uplifting and challenging passages contribute to believers' growth in faith and understanding of God's character. Studying the Bible serves as a means to seek truth and deepen faith, acknowledging its narratives of human imperfection and divine intervention. Despite the assertion that reading the Bible disproves God, many find that it strengthens their faith and understanding of the world. Doubts and questions are natural aspects of the faith journey, fostering a nuanced and robust comprehension of one's beliefs. Faith and hope in the Christian context transcend empirical evidence, relying on personal conviction, community experience, and spiritual revelation. While critical examination of the Bible is essential, it does not necessarily negate faith or hope; rather, it fosters a more profound understanding and appreciation of one's beliefs.
Agreed completely Jesus said - what was hidden from the wise and prudent will be revealed to the babe and suckling (little children) I get everyone’s position on the term cool but they’re overthinking it in my opinion. Yea jesus had a very serious mission but jesus is GOD… and to say that God is not cool cuz meh “wrong word” Jesus is COOL, the literal creator of heaven and earth is probably the COOLEST thing there is.
The level of intellect in the USA has fallen to the floor. For GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whomsoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life 🙌
After hearing her say "Culture" many times, i was starting to think about a cult.. so i had to google it, and it is rather interesting. “Cult” and “culture” are both derived from the Latin cultus, which means inhabited, cultivated, or worshiped. Cultus generally refers to the social forms, customs, beliefs, and traits of a racial, religious, or social group.16. nov. 2020
Because out of our desire to protect and promote our own personal good come all our negative thoughts, words and actions. Therefore I say unto you: because we draw our LIFE and BEING from "God," we draw our capacity to think and love from "God." Even as "God" is creative, so is our consciousness creative. With our minds and hearts we actually form the plans of our own lives and experiences. And what kind of lives do most people plan and form in their minds? If someone annoys or hurts them, they retaliate in some way or another, they believe that if their eye is taken, they must expect their adversary's eye in return. They believe that whoever kills should be killed as punishment and compensation, they believe that whoever robs them should pay the price, that whoever steals their wife, should be stoned along with their wife. Most people believe in the extraction of payment for every evil thing that comes their way. Since it is human nature to hurt others, and most people have been taught to retaliate, their lives are a continual scene of warfare-warfare in the home among husbands, wives, children, neighbors, public figures and between nations. "God" knows of this warfare in their lives, "He" knows the stress in their minds and bodies arising from this warfare but can do nothing-nothing to ease the pain-until people themselves stop the warfare. People themselves must cease their fighting and live in peace with their families, neighbors, employers, public figures and other countries. Only then, can "God's" LOVE take place in their minds, hearts, bodies and lives. Only then will people be able to recognize and see "God's" Love being done in them-and for them by "God." For that reason, there is no punishment, that "God" sees not our evil.
How greatly are you misled by your own passions! When we steal, we will lose things too. When we fight, wound, maim and kill-we will be maimed, wounded or killed in body and or in spirit. When we start a war, it will be a long and bitter struggle. Everything evil we have endured, we have been the original cause of it. We have the ability to choose the way we wish to think and live. And we choose the way we will think and live by changing our consciousness from antagonism to unconditional love and acceptance of everyone equally. If you imagine the damage and hurt you will like to inflict on another, your thoughts will reach your enemy and will erode their strength according to the intensity of your intention. Do not think that your thoughts has dissolved and is no more. It rests in electromagnetic strength, taking on form until it rebounds to harm you too. You can do much damage with your thinking and feelings. Damage to others and damage to yourself. Therefore, guard them-the tools of creativity-well, and at all times turn to God, and ask for relief from any thoughts which is contrary to unconditional love. According to the power of your prayer and the sincere faith in which you raise your mind to God, your thoughts will be imbued with new life and unconditional love.

A man rushed into hospital goes into emergency care. The surgeons work on him for 15 hours and save his life. But if he was not grateful what would we think of such a man? A man who is lost at sea is rescued by a passing ship. The care of the ship’s doctor slowly revives him and brings him back to life. And if he was not grateful what would we think of his ingratitude? A man held prisoner by vicious terrorists who plan to behead him. A brave soldier risks his life and rescues him. And if he was not grateful what would we say? When great good is done to us we are thankful and grateful. But what shall we say of a man who knowingly sacrifices his own life to save us and our families from extinction. Surely we would be eternally grateful. But what shall be said of those who should despise such a good man. Shall it go well with them. God who knows all things says we need to be saved. But what shall be said of those who disagree with God and reject the salvation offer of Jesus Christ.
Hi Cliffe it would be awesome if you could also make an Q&A with your subscribers, we also have some questions and we would love to hear your answers! I have A question , what happened to the people that died before Christ ? Or even before God’s revelation through the prophets Will they go to heaven ? Much love from Kurdistan
That's already answered and God's Old Testament and even in the New Testament, reversing back to the Old Testament, Jesus. In fact, answers that question, but I'll let you figure it out. I'm sick and I don't have the energy but it's not hard. It really isn't, but I'll give you a clue. The Old Testament was stolen by the Jews and only concentrated on the law, not grace, even though Abraham. Was righteous in his works with God. He was still saved by grace through his faith. That should give you a clue right there. Good night.
He answers this many times if you watch his videos. His claim is that because the Bible says the early prophets (through their humbleness and humility in belief of God) went to heaven, other non-prophets did too.

Cliff has covered that numerous times and there's a lot more. I could add, but I'm still sick. But I did leave you some very good clues to how you'd easily understand.
The moral law is written on everyone's hearts, and everyone has broken the moral laws. For those who didn't have the opportunity to know about Jesus, they will be judged on how evil they were.
Charlatans have a process to fool all the people all the time. Plants,shills, setups into the audience to show what a good memory Cliff has. Turn the question back onto the person asking the question. Give a quote from the Bible that has nothing to do with answering the question but, hopefully if he reads it real fast the questioning party will go along with it as to not embarrass himself in front of his peers. When all else fails he will respond "Well you don't have to believe me" "Ripley's believe it or not" used this ploy way back and it is exactly what is used throughout numerous videos I had moved into an area and a priest showed up. Invited him in and went to look a what kinda car he drove. Do your research, charlatans are good at what they do.
@8:42 there's a deep pain in that young man and he is searching to understand the holiness of God that brings such judgement on people ... I pray the Spirit of God gives him the peace he is seeking
Cliffe asks a brilliant question at 14:55 Q:"what would you do if you knew you'd never be caught"? It's a great hypothetical question. It would very much depend on whether my actions had detrimental consequences on others, eg: stealing a few hundred bucks from a bank that had hundreds of billions and giving that money to a homeless guy I would view as a good thing. Or if I put deadly poison in a cup and Putin drank it, it would be detrimental to him, but mightily beneficial to the world. I'd have no guilt in getting rid of a few dictators or would be dictators. 🙂
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf I'm not sure i fully understand what you're saying robert, I was just answering Cliffe's hypothetical question of "what would you do if you knew you'd never get caught"? eg: would you commit immoral/illegal acts knowing you'd get away with it?
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf No worries robert. I do agree with you that there is zero credible evidence for the supernatural, i think people who have supernatural opinions prefer to believe "God did it", rather than accept a scientific explanation . I once believed in the supernatural for quite a few years.
Y'Shua was the coolest guy to reject customs over the truth! The truth is The Commandments! He was non judgmental, forgiving and inquisitive! Almost as a child! To bring the Kingdom of God unto Earth, we must follow the commandments with belief and be exemplary
Those who turn to God are strong. Turning to God requires strength of character. Those who nailed the Saviour were to the cross were physically strong but weak in character. David was strong in character. A godly God fearing man. All those who trust in the Lord are strong.
I was just curious in general, before the internet really began to be so ubiquitous, what did you do with the recordings of Cliffe? For instance, before youtube and general internet acceptance, where were these recordings shown? On Christian TV? Just locally at Church? It just blows my mind how old some of these videos are and how well recorded they are and cant stop asking myself these questions about the early days of GMAA! lol. Hope you can help! Thanks
Great question. I could be wrong but I think these video's have been around as long as TH-cam, sometimes we forget just how long TH-cam has been around, it started in 2005, some of the really old ones were probably shot on VHS recording equipment in the 90's and maybe shown on local Christian TV channels. When TH-cam started it was a perfect outlet for these video's.
@@jacksprrow lol, don't let it keep you up at night. I guess Cliffe has them all on tape, and every now and then we get to see them. I like watching the older ones to see how fashion has changed over the decades 🙂
I'm surprised at your Tom for not knowing the answer he used to be on. TV first actual TV broadcasting. I don't know what channel but he was on one of those cable channels for a local channel things. Yes, but obviously you forget. Bye, I'm gonna go sleep.
@@OurSavior-xr3yc I'm in the UK Jacob, it certainly would not have been broadcast over here, but I did say he probably boadcast on some local cable tv network in the US.
I am a 13 year old, and i am trying to connect more with god, because im trying to grow as a person, and make better decisions with my life. Im not sure where to start.
I would recommend the words of Pinocchio's friend Jiminy Cricket "Always let your conscience be your guide". It's worked well for me throughout my life 🙂
Hey that’s so amazing! You’re doing so good! Just start simple by reading the word and praying, and the Holy Spirit will guide you….. He sees your heart that yearns to please him and He will take you on that journey…… I’m sorry but I would have to disagree with the comment that says follow your conscience, the Bible says ”The heart is deceitful above all things And it is extremely sick; Who can understand it fully and know its secret motives?“ Jeremiah 17:9 AMP….. trust the beautiful Holy Spirit who wants you all for himself and wants the best for you more than yourself. Praying for you and that you continue to have powerful and beautiful encounters with the Lord!! Jesus loves you so much!
Praying for you! Make it a priority in your life to read (or even listen) through the Bible. I would encourage you to start in the New Testament (the Gospels) ”So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.“ Romans 10:17 KJV ”For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;“ 1 Timothy 2:5 KJV
*I used to never put any other books or objects on top of my KJV that was given to me in 1961. I cherishED it my whole life from when I was just 8 years old. That is up until about 8 years ago! Now it stays on the bottom of a big box of books in my closet. And unless Jesus changes it back into God's Holy word, I will never open it or any other bible the rest of my life!* *Satan is spreading his evil across the globe and most people are beginning to see it. But sadly only a tiny few see what he's done to God's word...* *What The Father has spoken will never change, His promises are still good and our prayers are still answered! Hallelujah!!! But as impossible as this sounds, like so many of the true stories in scripture, our bibles have all been supernaturally changed by Satan in the last several years, right in our homes, in the fulfillment of prophecy. It's being done to prepare for the reign of the antichrist. All languages and all translations have been changed along with concordances, encyclopedias, dictionaries, history books, the original Hebrew, Greek, Latin and Aramaic manuscripts. Even the Dead Sea Scrolls have been changed!* *I'm 71, was saved when I was 10, and have read only the exact same copy of the King James bible my church gave me in 1961. (This does not mean I was a King James onlyist but now I'm glad I never read other ones or I might not have noticed the changes as soon.) I had memorized many scriptures from it through the years. Then in 2014 I started seeing changes in it that I couldn't explain. I had never owned a computer or heard of the Mandela Effect back then. But after being given my first computer in 2016 I finally found out why I had been noticing all of the oddities that I couldn't explain. I then started diligently studying what should actually have been called the "Daniel 7:25 effect". That's where God said He would give the antichrist the power to do this. (Change times and laws, history and scripture) We're seeing many end time prophecies being fulfilled SUPERNATURALLY! This is some of the "lying signs and wonders" God told us He would give the AC power to perform which would even deceive His very elect, if it were possible in 2nd Thessalonians chapter two!* *God said in the end of days, (NOW!) that He would send us a famine for hearing His words in Amos **8:11** and that He would give the antichrist the ability to do this in Daniel 7:25. In Daniel 12:4 & 12:9 He told him to seal his book until the end days. He told John **_not_** to seal his book because the end time is at hand in Revelation 22:10. One of the Greek definitions of ''seal'' in Strongs concordance is “to protect from Satan”. He also told us to “hide His words in our hearts”, which meant memorize, if not word for word at least the essence of what was written, because He knew this was going to happen.* *God commanded us to "prove all things", and people **_better_** obey Him, especially on this subject. I urge you to research this. There are many brothers and sisters making videos about the changes with more proof of what was originally written and I have lots more about this in my playlist 👉 which can be found by typing in (PROOF OF BIBLE CHANGE RESIDUE JUNKIE 1)* 👈 *I've continued to stay in God's word by reading what has been documented to be what used to be written and what Satan has been changing. Soon Amos **8:12** will be fulfilled too and we won't be able to find God's word anymore, and the only way it can happen is by not being able to see these videos and PDF written lists of documented changes like the one at (amos)(8)(.)(org)* *_May God bless all who read this with eyes to see this incredible faith strengthener, and how close we are to our Saviour's return!!!!_* *P.S. Everyone is going to learn about this one way or the other. I'm just trying to keep so many people from hearing Jesus explain it to them at the Gate. If you ask for them at the address on my about page I will send you links for 15 films that absolutely prove the snake bite is the mark. And yt hates me, they won't notify me of replies and won't post my answers so write me at residue junkie in one word at g mail for lots more info yt would never allow you to see.* ❤✝️💪 *P.P.S. YT will not notify me if you reply here so write me at residue junkie in one word at g mail.*
The bible that you've owned since 1961 has not been changed. It seems you are having memory issues. Your bible isn't supernaturally changed. Pick your bible back up and put it where it belongs.
Spiritually or physical death. Adam was condemned to death after having a snack, but now that the question was an asked. God meant a "spiritual death", good answer! Adam lived 930 years now that is patience for revenge, and it is revenge for disobeying the master. Please let me know since heaven and hell(Hal) were not available to the humans at that time what was meant by a"spiritual "death? Dsu to dust and all that Thanks
930 years, family(two wives) and good times. Yep he was condemned to death, wonder if the Governor keep putting "stays" on his death. But you're right he did die bible says so. As for "sin" another fear factor in selling the faith. The question was in all honesty was, what is meant by a spiritual death, during the time heaven was not available for humans and hell hadn't been adopted from the Scandinavians.(Hal)@@builderphill1361
comment if you were one of the students in this video.I would like to know if any of these students who talked to Cliff in the fall of 1998/2004 are still alive and if they still hold the same point of view.
Those who turn to God are strong. Turning to God requires strength of character. Those who nailed the Saviour to the cross were physically strong but weak in character. David was strong in character. A godly God fearing man. All those who trust in the Lord are strong. For trusting in God takes great strength. Great strength of character. And as many in the animal kingdom are superior in strength to that of mankind but nevertheless man is superior to them. The righteous are superior to the unrighteous.
Hey cliffe I have a question for u. All believers believe 'cause the grace of God was in them. But if the grace of God is not in the unbeliever and they die in their sin, is it their fault that they go to hell.? What I mean is: We all sin willfully in our old life, we notice if we get jealous or prideful but never cared nor actually notice it. That when the Grace of God comes and we finally see how bad it is. We're all spiritually ignorant and blind. But for an unbeliever if their sin is not convicted and they didn't actually notice it and they die in their sin, go to hell is it really their fault? Please answer me I really want to know the answer!
Cliff please go through with us WHY you believe the world is likely millions of years old, or at least NOT 6000 years old. If the earth was millions of years old and animal fossils that they claim to be millions of years old, how could they have died when death had not come into the world until Adam and Eve?
Has cliff ever debated or talked with Bart erman? I might spelled his last name wrong but he use to believe in Jesus but now he doesn’t believe in the same way he also claims John which is the only gospel that really claims Jesus thought he was god was written much later than the first 3 I’d love to hear them to talk both seem like super smart guys
@@Theo_Skeptomai just because he's studying bible and became an expert, it doesn't mean he fully understand because don't forget that point of view and context is important. Liberalist is mostly being rejected by christian scholar because their perspective and point of view.
I don't think you can honestly read the Gospels and think that John is the only one where Jesus thinks he is God. When Jesus speaks about beeing the Son of man from Daniel in Mark he is claiming to be God. Read Daniel.
Cliffe, here's a few questions for you... 1: What is God? 2: What is the nature of Spirit? 3: Who are you in relation to God? 4: What is the Nature of Matter? 5: Who is Jesus? 6: What is Christ? 7: What is your purpose or reasoning behind sharing the bible with others? 8: Do you believe evil exists? 9: Do you believe God created the Human Form??
Jesus seems cool to me. If God himself came up to me telling me to cut my hand off because it was preventing me from going to eternal paradise with him, that seems like a cool thing to do. Idk I might have a weird definition of cool.
"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: “I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God.” That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic-on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg-or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to." C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
@@Theo_Skeptomai You’re arguing about Christianity. If there is no God, according to your world view, then there is no Christianity. Will you ever stop arguing about a God you don’t believe exist?
Hi rob, i would take issue with C S Lewis's claim that Jesus was a "great moral teacher", there are many moral issues that Jesus does not specifically deal with that effect us in our daily lives and that have caused horrific violence and bigotry against certain people. At the very least, a great moral teacher would be crystal clear about something like racism for example, particularly in regards to people of a different skin tone, leaving nobody in any doubt whatsoever that it's wrong to judge a person on the color of their skin. If you think I am wrong, point me to the passage in the New Testament where Jesus makes this abundantly clear so that no one could be in any doubt that it's wrong to judge people on the color of their skin?
good point cliffe, well todays American society holds life as the ultimate - when in noahs time eternity was more important. but cliffe should have brought up that God did send many messengers and prophets to WARN the people that God is going to bring judgement, and Noah building the ark was a great warning! . and if these people cared about THEIR kids, they would have done something about it!
If we are the chosen ones, for many are called and few are chosen, we will be found amongst the predestined ones, mentioned in the Bible as the predestinated. But we also know that the knowledge of those prayers we would pray today, were seen by God during ancient yesterdays, namely before He created mankind. For if our prayers were not playing an intrinsic part, albeit a small part in the salvation of others, why then should we pray them. Would God have chosen these ones before the foundation of the world to be saved and predestinated without the prayers of the saints to be prayed in the future. Or would God have saved us without this love for others to be saved. Surely God is allowing us the honour of playing a small part in His great salvation plan-knowing we will fast and pray for others to be saved. Therefore we assume He utilises our prayers, having the knowledge before the foundation of the world that we would pray them. And as He knew before the foundation of the world, that we would indeed pray for these ones to be saved-He presumably deems us also worthy to be saved, because of proving it with of our love of others, by praying that they might be saved as well as ourselves. And we know that as God knows all things, we therefore know, that He knows, before He creates them, those who have the wherewithal to be faithful to Him. And it’s these ones that He chooses, for why would He choose the unfaithful. And also why would He predestinate unless it was necessary. Would we have been brought to that perfect place where repentance was possible, but not forced upon us, without God orchestrated our lives so we could indeed repent. When we consider our lives we marvel at this and realise that we wouldn’t have repented without His orchestration of our lives. Therefore we see the necessity of predestination.
I think Jesus is cool but the way the guy was meaning it is the same thing I heard someone say. “You can’t tell me Jesus wasn’t a hippie smoking weed” no he was not he was perfect and he was God.
God knowing all things knew what would befall mankind if He created them. And therefore God knew that if He created mankind, He would have to save them by being a sacrifice in the form of the Lord Jesus Christ. But nevertheless, God knowing all this, still goes ahead with His plan to create man, knowing of the ransom that has to be paid. If and when we should ever doubt if God loves us, we can cease from wondering, by remembering what God has done for us. If God would have chosen to not create mankind, He would not have been crucified to a tree at Calvary. He could have avoided this. But He loves us with such a great love that for the joy that was set before Him. He went to the cross. Hebrews 12:2 KJV “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
@6:22 Where in the Bible does God say that children are innocent? In my Bible it says... "5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me."

I just wanna ask because I want to believe in Jesus but I just can’t stop thinking about how he takes away great people but he lets horrible people still harm and attack other people. Just why does god do this I just need an answer
God gives us a sphere of people to pray for. This is our great unseen ministry. And we are encouraged by the effectiveness of a persistent water droplet gently wearing away rock. Luke 18:1-8 KJV And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
I do not agree with Cliffe about babies being siners. Children may act evil but they dont really understand what they are doing so the intent is never evil. They can not make a choice between good and evil, as they can not comprehend the difference, this understanding of morals comes a bit later. Children are pure
Yes he is, in that believing in him or any other"god" brings you peace in your life. It is cool. Course in hundred years the definition of"cool" will be changed to fit all charlatans views, not yours.
What if the loss of the lives of the children was a blessing from God (?) That He was bringing them back home while in the process He was also sending their adults to hell. God saved those children from That life.
Under our apostle Paul’s ministry,to be SAVED, you must BELIEVE/TRUST The Gospel of Jesus Christ,1 st Corinthians Chapter 15 verses 1-4.Jesus Christ died on the cross for all of your sins,was buried,and rose again on the third day.Jesus Christ’s Shed Blood is what saves you when you Believe this plan of salvation with your heart.Romans 3:25” Faith in His Blood”.
Bigger insanity is something coming from absolutely nothing. Or the life of a single-cell organism coming out of nowhere and then turning into all the life on earth. Like how would plants evolve alongside flesh so perfectly or how did things like sex organs just develop and creatures knew to quit self-replicating and instead mate? More than that how did the mutations know to keep going in a certain direction that had nothing to do with survival? The entire idea is logically absurd
@@Theo_Skeptomai No it is not a false projection. I’ve had many debates with atheists on this channel who say they don’t believe in the existence of God but yet turn right around & complain about all the things this very God, whom they just said they didn’t believe in, did. If he doesn’t exist, why even argue about what he did or didn’t do?
Cliffe needs to mention When God judges a nation, the children are not victims of that judgement because of their innocence. They will recieve God's grace and spend eternity with Him. Those who died trusting in God even though they died will spend eternity with God even though they were caught up in the wrath of the judgement of the nation, they will not be eternally condemned to hell . Look at the Hebrews 11 saints who will be in heaven. Come on Cliffe. You need to grow in this area of explanation.
Christianity-in all its obnoxious denominations-is illogical, irrational, unreasonable and, of greatest import, unscientific. From mammalian parthenogenesis to talking non-human animals, from repeated corpse resurrection to impossible human longevity, this particular brand of mythology is unscientific to its core. Various absurdities, found in both the Old and New Testaments, simply cannot be reconciled with science-based reality and natural principles. -Harris
@CalselAsks @CalselAsks Near the beginning when Cliffe argues objective morality and that killing children is wrong, one individual calls out how god kills children. Cliffe says, 1. Americans say the worse thing that can happen to a person is death, 2. Humans are interconnected, and 3. The children were collateral of god's judgement. The first two points don't really have a point and the third is an agreement that the children were collateral. How god didn't break his own morality is still unanswered
@@pencintahewan234I would argue how horrible of a thought that is but I think Alex O'Connor already makes a great point about this th-cam.com/video/Fa5tyqJOqfs/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
And abortions are? So the creator of babies, actual mom and dad can waste their children under your logic? Or to preface this, god is the only one who can kill because he/she is god? They(mom and dad)did create a human so.....god gets a pass? Can't put morals standards on god, right. And there is the divide for thousands of religions and deities.@@pencintahewan234
Lol cliffe, if he backhands the grape juice, you must have him clean it up by himself. Rip the carpet, but its worth the price for the lesson it teaches them. Normally, kids who do things like that were conditioned due to a lack of related consequences, which would be an environmental factor after birth...
Jesus is coming very soon, and Romans 10, 9-10 states that: "That if thou shalt confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto rightousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." May God bless everyone who sees this in Jesus name, Amen. ❤
Cliff should challenge them to debunk the 'Sermon on the Mount' it is pure of morality or full of crap. From all the goodness one can see from the Beatitude this should convince him enough to put ones' trust and faith to Lord Jesus and he is no pony
When I watch Cliffe Classics I am always shocked at how much more intelligent students use to be. 😅

It’s great to see nobody getting all bent out of shape and offended. These are open minded conversations we need in today’s society.

everything in these classics is so quiet and respectful. I really want to talk to Cliffe
The new age ones are very tense and argumentative
The man in the red. He truly sat there humbly and listened. You can see in his eyes and his face that he was really taking in what Cliffe had to say and possibly even was honest with himself enough to realize there was holes in his thinking. I really appreciate that young man. This is an old clip so I pray that since this interaction, he has given himself to Jesus Christ our lord and has had a beautiful life and built a family. Praise The Lord.

I would love to hear Cliffe debate a Mormon about the Book of Mormon, they seem to have all the answers!! I've encountered a few of them.
That book is a lie. There‘s no mention of a mormon in the Bible. No early church or church father record ever mentions something like that. Scripture contradicts them as well. Turn to a church of Christ. God bless.

@@thebossman5422 First guy speaking
Come on Cliffe. JESUS is pretty cool.
What do you mean by “ cool”?What’s “cool” to you may not be “cool “ to me and Jesus is not ambiguous like that. Jesus Christ is “the Lamb of God , who takes away the sin of the world.” John 1:29 He is the propitiation for the sin of everyone in the world, so we need an adjective that is better than “cool” like Righteous, holy, powerful. Jesus Christ deserves to be more than just “cool “
Pretty cool if I do say so myself ofc he's indefinitely infinitely more than "cool" but still he's pretty cool
Ambiguousness is the main selling point of the Bible, Along with fear and love.
"Numbers" god spoke directly to the priest to create a "bitters" to induce abortions as punishment, to the wives accused by their husbands.
God is allowed to do all without reason so,... guess that is your point?
Great deity, we have thousand if not more deity's to follow
What sin? And if he takes away the sin of the world, then by that standard there is no sin in the world as Jesus in John1:29 says so.(read more)
Dig deeper find the bad to go along with the good and figure it out for yourself, no blinders
Reading the Bible disproves god, but doesn't invalidate your faith or hopes.
Have a good day.
@@georgekantstandu4501 The Bible stands as a rich anthology encompassing diverse genres such as history, poetry, prophecy, and letters. Its complexity often leads to various interpretations, yet Christians hold that through prayer, diligent study, and guidance from the Holy Spirit, one can gain clarity and understanding of its teachings. While its multifaceted nature may present challenges, it does not diminish the Bible's value; rather, it invites deeper exploration and engagement.
In Numbers 5, the passage describing the "Bitter Water" test presents a ritual for a woman accused of adultery, often misconstrued as a literal punishment or method for inducing abortion. However, scholars view it symbolically within its ancient Near Eastern context, where such rituals were commonplace and not universally prescriptive.
The assertion that "God is allowed to do all without reason" reflects a misunderstanding of Christian theology. Christians believe in God's sovereignty, understanding His actions as purposeful expressions of justice, love, and righteousness, even if not always comprehensible to humans.
Christianity is unequivocally monotheistic, teaching the existence of one God revealed in three persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. While respecting other religious beliefs, Christians maintain that Jesus Christ is the unique and definitive revelation of God to humanity.
John 1:29 refers to Jesus as "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world," highlighting the Christian belief in Jesus' atoning sacrifice. This does not imply the eradication of sin but signifies the breaking of its power, offering forgiveness and reconciliation with God.
Christians are encouraged to read the Bible critically, engaging with its accounts of human imperfection and divine intervention. Both uplifting and challenging passages contribute to believers' growth in faith and understanding of God's character.
Studying the Bible serves as a means to seek truth and deepen faith, acknowledging its narratives of human imperfection and divine intervention. Despite the assertion that reading the Bible disproves God, many find that it strengthens their faith and understanding of the world. Doubts and questions are natural aspects of the faith journey, fostering a nuanced and robust comprehension of one's beliefs.
Faith and hope in the Christian context transcend empirical evidence, relying on personal conviction, community experience, and spiritual revelation. While critical examination of the Bible is essential, it does not necessarily negate faith or hope; rather, it fosters a more profound understanding and appreciation of one's beliefs.
Agreed completely
Jesus said - what was hidden from the wise and prudent will be revealed to the babe and suckling (little children)
I get everyone’s position on the term cool but they’re overthinking it in my opinion.
Yea jesus had a very serious mission but jesus is GOD… and to say that God is not cool cuz meh “wrong word”
Jesus is COOL, the literal creator of heaven and earth is probably the COOLEST thing there is.
It's so impressive how Cliffe can come out with illustration on the spot.

After hearing her say "Culture" many times, i was starting to think about a cult.. so i had to google it, and it is rather interesting.
“Cult” and “culture” are both derived from the Latin cultus, which means inhabited, cultivated, or worshiped. Cultus generally refers to the social forms, customs, beliefs, and traits of a racial, religious, or social group.16. nov. 2020
In the past I was an atheist but now I am a Christian.
Bless you sir
When Jesus stated: "Believe me or perish"-he meant: Believe in the Way of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, or continue to fight and war as you did before.
How do you know that?
Because out of our desire to protect and promote our own personal good come all our negative thoughts, words and actions.
Therefore I say unto you: because we draw our LIFE and BEING from "God," we draw our capacity to think and love from "God."
Even as "God" is creative, so is our consciousness creative. With our minds and hearts we actually form the plans of our own lives and experiences.
And what kind of lives do most people plan and form in their minds? If someone annoys or hurts them, they retaliate in some way or another, they believe that if their eye is taken, they must expect their adversary's eye in return.
They believe that whoever kills should be killed as punishment and compensation, they believe that whoever robs them should pay the price, that whoever steals their wife, should be stoned along with their wife.
Most people believe in the extraction of payment for every evil thing that comes their way.
Since it is human nature to hurt others, and most people have been taught to retaliate, their lives are a continual scene of warfare-warfare in the home among husbands, wives, children, neighbors, public figures and between nations.
"God" knows of this warfare in their lives, "He" knows the stress in their minds and bodies arising from this warfare but can do nothing-nothing to ease the pain-until people themselves stop the warfare.
People themselves must cease their fighting and live in peace with their families, neighbors, employers, public figures and other countries.
Only then, can "God's" LOVE take place in their minds, hearts, bodies and lives.
Only then will people be able to recognize and see "God's" Love being done in them-and for them by "God."
For that reason, there is no punishment, that "God" sees not our evil.
How greatly are you misled by your own passions!
When we steal, we will lose things too. When we fight, wound, maim and kill-we will be maimed, wounded or killed in body and or in spirit. When we start a war, it will be a long and bitter struggle. Everything evil we have endured, we have been the original cause of it.
We have the ability to choose the way we wish to think and live. And we choose the way we will think and live by changing our consciousness from antagonism to unconditional love and acceptance of everyone equally.
If you imagine the damage and hurt you will like to inflict on another, your thoughts will reach your enemy and will erode their strength according to the intensity of your intention.
Do not think that your thoughts has dissolved and is no more. It rests in electromagnetic strength, taking on form until it rebounds to harm you too.
You can do much damage with your thinking and feelings. Damage to others and damage to yourself. Therefore, guard them-the tools of creativity-well, and at all times turn to God, and ask for relief from any thoughts which is contrary to unconditional love. According to the power of your prayer and the sincere faith in which you raise your mind to God, your thoughts will be imbued with new life and unconditional love.
@@edgarmorales4476 how do you know that? What do you mean unconditional love? Where do you get your information? Who says?
Because out of our desire to protect and promote our own personal good come all our negative thoughts, words and actions.

For that reason, there is no punishment, that God sees not our evil.
A man rushed into hospital goes into emergency care. The surgeons work on him for 15 hours and save his life. But if he was not grateful what would we think of such a man?
A man who is lost at sea is rescued by a passing ship. The care of the ship’s doctor slowly revives him and brings him back to life. And if he was not grateful what would we think of his ingratitude?
A man held prisoner by vicious terrorists who plan to behead him. A brave soldier risks his life and rescues him. And if he was not grateful what would we say?
When great good is done to us we are thankful and grateful.
But what shall we say of a man who knowingly sacrifices his own life to save us and our families from extinction. Surely we would be eternally grateful.
But what shall be said of those who should despise such a good man. Shall it go well with them.
God who knows all things says we need to be saved. But what shall be said of those who disagree with God and reject the salvation offer of Jesus Christ.

The cocky kid at the start couldn’t really argue with Cliffe’s rational logic 🤣
Hi Cliffe it would be awesome if you could also make an Q&A with your subscribers, we also have some questions and we would love to hear your answers! I have A question , what happened to the people that died before Christ ? Or even before God’s revelation through the prophets Will they go to heaven ? Much love from Kurdistan
That's already answered and God's Old Testament and even in the New Testament, reversing back to the Old Testament, Jesus. In fact, answers that question, but I'll let you figure it out. I'm sick and I don't have the energy but it's not hard. It really isn't, but I'll give you a clue. The Old Testament was stolen by the Jews and only concentrated on the law, not grace, even though Abraham. Was righteous in his works with God. He was still saved by grace through his faith. That should give you a clue right there. Good night.
He answers this many times if you watch his videos.
His claim is that because the Bible says the early prophets (through their humbleness and humility in belief of God) went to heaven, other non-prophets did too.
I answered the question hours ago but TH-cam. Deleted it, I'll go see if it's saved in my email. I sure as I can't recycle it. I'm so tired of that.

As an identum, a person you commented whenever that was after I had before. It's deleted is correct. Cliff has covered that numerous times and there's a lot more. I could add, but I'm still sick. But I did leave you some very good clues to how you'd easily understand.
The moral law is written on everyone's hearts, and everyone has broken the moral laws. For those who didn't have the opportunity to know about Jesus, they will be judged on how evil they were.
Every time I see a new Cliffe’s video, my mind goes like:
Give me an aaaaanswer! Don’t waste my time!
Charlatans have a process to fool all the people all the time.
Plants,shills, setups into the audience to show what a good memory Cliff has.
Turn the question back onto the person asking the question.
Give a quote from the Bible that has nothing to do with answering the question but, hopefully if he reads it real fast the questioning party will go along with it as to not embarrass himself in front of his peers.
When all else fails he will respond "Well you don't have to believe me"
"Ripley's believe it or not" used this ploy way back and it is exactly what is used throughout numerous videos
I had moved into an area and a priest showed up. Invited him in and went to look a what kinda car he drove.
Do your research, charlatans are good at what they do.

Cliffe asks a brilliant question at 14:55 Q:"what would you do if you knew you'd never be caught"? It's a great hypothetical question. It would very much depend on whether my actions had detrimental consequences on others, eg: stealing a few hundred bucks from a bank that had hundreds of billions and giving that money to a homeless guy I would view as a good thing. Or if I put deadly poison in a cup and Putin drank it, it would be detrimental to him, but mightily beneficial to the world. I'd have no guilt in getting rid of a few dictators or would be dictators. 🙂
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf I'm not sure i fully understand what you're saying robert, I was just answering Cliffe's hypothetical question of "what would you do if you knew you'd never get caught"? eg: would you commit immoral/illegal acts knowing you'd get away with it?
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf No worries robert. I do agree with you that there is zero credible evidence for the supernatural, i think people who have supernatural opinions prefer to believe "God did it", rather than accept a scientific explanation .

Y'Shua was the coolest guy to reject customs over the truth! The truth is The Commandments! He was non judgmental, forgiving and inquisitive! Almost as a child!

This is a help. Points to true help.

For instance, before youtube and general internet acceptance, where were these recordings shown? On Christian TV? Just locally at Church? It just blows my mind how old some of these videos are and how well recorded they are and cant stop asking myself these questions about the early days of GMAA! lol. Hope you can help! Thanks
Great question. I could be wrong but I think these video's have been around as long as TH-cam, sometimes we forget just how long TH-cam has been around, it started in 2005, some of the really old ones were probably shot on VHS recording equipment in the 90's and maybe shown on local Christian TV channels. When TH-cam started it was a perfect outlet for these video's.

I am a 13 year old, and i am trying to connect more with god, because im trying to grow as a person, and make better decisions with my life. Im not sure where to start.
I would recommend the words of Pinocchio's friend Jiminy Cricket "Always let your conscience be your guide". It's worked well for me throughout my life 🙂
Hey that’s so amazing! You’re doing so good! Just start simple by reading the word and praying, and the Holy Spirit will guide you….. He sees your heart that yearns to please him and He will take you on that journey…… I’m sorry but I would have to disagree with the comment that says follow your conscience, the Bible says ”The heart is deceitful above all things And it is extremely sick; Who can understand it fully and know its secret motives?“ Jeremiah 17:9 AMP….. trust the beautiful Holy Spirit who wants you all for himself and wants the best for you more than yourself. Praying for you and that you continue to have powerful and beautiful encounters with the Lord!! Jesus loves you so much!
Praying for you! Make it a priority in your life to read (or even listen) through the Bible. I would encourage you to start in the New Testament (the Gospels)
”So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.“
Romans 10:17 KJV
”For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;“
1 Timothy 2:5 KJV
I think it is more about submitting your life to GOD instead of trying to control your life by yourself
*I used to never put any other books or objects on top of my KJV that was given to me in 1961. I cherishED it my whole life from when I was just 8 years old. That is up until about 8 years ago! Now it stays on the bottom of a big box of books in my closet. And unless Jesus changes it back into God's Holy word, I will never open it or any other bible the rest of my life!*
*Satan is spreading his evil across the globe and most people are beginning to see it. But sadly only a tiny few see what he's done to God's word...*
*What The Father has spoken will never change, His promises are still good and our prayers are still answered! Hallelujah!!! But as impossible as this sounds, like so many of the true stories in scripture, our bibles have all been supernaturally changed by Satan in the last several years, right in our homes, in the fulfillment of prophecy. It's being done to prepare for the reign of the antichrist. All languages and all translations have been changed along with concordances, encyclopedias, dictionaries, history books, the original Hebrew, Greek, Latin and Aramaic manuscripts. Even the Dead Sea Scrolls have been changed!*
*I'm 71, was saved when I was 10, and have read only the exact same copy of the King James bible my church gave me in 1961. (This does not mean I was a King James onlyist but now I'm glad I never read other ones or I might not have noticed the changes as soon.) I had memorized many scriptures from it through the years. Then in 2014 I started seeing changes in it that I couldn't explain. I had never owned a computer or heard of the Mandela Effect back then. But after being given my first computer in 2016 I finally found out why I had been noticing all of the oddities that I couldn't explain. I then started diligently studying what should actually have been called the "Daniel 7:25 effect". That's where God said He would give the antichrist the power to do this. (Change times and laws, history and scripture) We're seeing many end time prophecies being fulfilled SUPERNATURALLY! This is some of the "lying signs and wonders" God told us He would give the AC power to perform which would even deceive His very elect, if it were possible in 2nd Thessalonians chapter two!*
*God said in the end of days, (NOW!) that He would send us a famine for hearing His words in Amos **8:11** and that He would give the antichrist the ability to do this in Daniel 7:25. In Daniel 12:4 & 12:9 He told him to seal his book until the end days. He told John **_not_** to seal his book because the end time is at hand in Revelation 22:10. One of the Greek definitions of ''seal'' in Strongs concordance is “to protect from Satan”. He also told us to “hide His words in our hearts”, which meant memorize, if not word for word at least the essence of what was written, because He knew this was going to happen.*
*God commanded us to "prove all things", and people **_better_** obey Him, especially on this subject. I urge you to research this. There are many brothers and sisters making videos about the changes with more proof of what was originally written and I have lots more about this in my playlist 👉 which can be found by typing in (PROOF OF BIBLE CHANGE RESIDUE JUNKIE 1)* 👈
*I've continued to stay in God's word by reading what has been documented to be what used to be written and what Satan has been changing. Soon Amos **8:12** will be fulfilled too and we won't be able to find God's word anymore, and the only way it can happen is by not being able to see these videos and PDF written lists of documented changes like the one at (amos)(8)(.)(org)*
*_May God bless all who read this with eyes to see this incredible faith strengthener, and how close we are to our Saviour's return!!!!_*
*P.S. Everyone is going to learn about this one way or the other. I'm just trying to keep so many people from hearing Jesus explain it to them at the Gate. If you ask for them at the address on my about page I will send you links for 15 films that absolutely prove the snake bite is the mark. And yt hates me, they won't notify me of replies and won't post my answers so write me at residue junkie in one word at g mail for lots more info yt would never allow you to see.*

The bible that you've owned since 1961 has not been changed. It seems you are having memory issues. Your bible isn't supernaturally changed. Pick your bible back up and put it where it belongs.
JESUS SAID :- " I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.”
- ( JOHN 8:24)
Spiritually or physical death.
Adam was condemned to death after having a snack, but now that the question was an asked. God meant a "spiritual death", good answer!
Adam lived 930 years now that is patience for revenge, and it is revenge for disobeying the master.
Please let me know since heaven and hell(Hal) were not available to the humans at that time what was meant by a"spiritual "death?
Dsu to dust and all that
Thanks
@@georgekantstandu4501Adam was condemned to death because of his sin, not because of "a snack". Sin separates from God and lets evil in the world
930 years, family(two wives) and good times. Yep he was condemned to death, wonder if the Governor keep putting "stays" on his death. But you're right he did die bible says so.
As for "sin" another fear factor in selling the faith.
The question was in all honesty was, what is meant by a spiritual death, during the time heaven was not available for humans and hell hadn't been adopted from the Scandinavians.(Hal)@@builderphill1361
I think the fact that Jesus was a revolutionary, that's cool. And essential.
comment if you were one of the students in this video.I would like to know if any of these students who talked to Cliff in the fall of 1998/2004 are still alive and if they still hold the same point of view.
Still alive??? They are forty dude 😂
Those who turn to God are strong. Turning to God requires strength of character. Those who nailed the Saviour to the cross were physically strong but weak in character. David was strong in character. A godly God fearing man. All those who trust in the Lord are strong. For trusting in God takes great strength. Great strength of character. And as many in the animal kingdom are superior in strength to that of mankind but nevertheless man is superior to them. The righteous are superior to the unrighteous.
Jesus is my king 🙏🏼
Hey cliffe I have a question for u.
All believers believe 'cause the grace of God was in them.
But if the grace of God is not in the unbeliever and they die in their sin, is it their fault that they go to hell.? What I mean is:
We all sin willfully in our old life, we notice if we get jealous or prideful but never cared nor actually notice it. That when the Grace of God comes and we finally see how bad it is. We're all spiritually ignorant and blind.
But for an unbeliever if their sin is not convicted and they didn't actually notice it and they die in their sin, go to hell is it really their fault? Please answer me I really want to know the answer!
90s fashion is superior.
For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life.
It’s hard. So hard.
-Bible
Cliff please go through with us WHY you believe the world is likely millions of years old, or at least NOT 6000 years old. If the earth was millions of years old and animal fossils that they claim to be millions of years old, how could they have died when death had not come into the world until Adam and Eve?
Agree, I'd like to know.
Read genesis
@@GabrielOsborn-hm3ww BRILLIANT! Thanks I will… 🙄 im sorry that is such a ridiculous comment.
Maybe God just didn't want to mention dinosaurs in the bible
Has cliff ever debated or talked with Bart erman? I might spelled his last name wrong but he use to believe in Jesus but now he doesn’t believe in the same way he also claims John which is the only gospel that really claims Jesus thought he was god was written much later than the first 3 I’d love to hear them to talk both seem like super smart guys
Because Bart Ehrman is a liberalist who has a point of view seeing bible not in the context of how Christianity see bible.
@@Theo_Skeptomai just because he's studying bible and became an expert, it doesn't mean he fully understand because don't forget that point of view and context is important. Liberalist is mostly being rejected by christian scholar because their perspective and point of view.
I don't think you can honestly read the Gospels and think that John is the only one where Jesus thinks he is God.
When Jesus speaks about beeing the Son of man from Daniel in Mark he is claiming to be God. Read Daniel.
@@kilervgmmm yeah not many people know the meaning of Son of Man
@@Theo_Skeptomai How do you define born again?
Cliffe, here's a few questions for you...
1: What is God?
2: What is the nature of Spirit?
3: Who are you in relation to God?
4: What is the Nature of Matter?
5: Who is Jesus?
6: What is Christ?
7: What is your purpose or reasoning behind sharing the bible with others?
8: Do you believe evil exists?
9: Do you believe God created the Human Form??
Question for you: if you don’t understand something or fully comprehend it, does that mean that it doesn’t exist?
I think all most if not all of your answers are answered by Jesus himself in the gospels.
we should get cliffe to react to mandela catalogue or get him to play the game FAITH.
Jesus seems cool to me. If God himself came up to me telling me to cut my hand off because it was preventing me from going to eternal paradise with him, that seems like a cool thing to do. Idk I might have a weird definition of cool.
"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: “I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God.” That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic-on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg-or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
How can you be certain any of that's true without relying on the fallible theories of man?
@@Theo_SkeptomaiStill here arguing about a God you don’t believe exist? Your life must truly be miserable buddy smh
@@Theo_Skeptomai You’re arguing about Christianity. If there is no God, according to your world view, then there is no Christianity. Will you ever stop arguing about a God you don’t believe exist?
@@Theo_Skeptomai Do you suffer from mental health issues?
Hi rob, i would take issue with C S Lewis's claim that Jesus was a "great moral teacher", there are many moral issues that Jesus does not specifically deal with that effect us in our daily lives and that have caused horrific violence and bigotry against certain people. At the very least, a great moral teacher would be crystal clear about something like racism for example, particularly in regards to people of a different skin tone, leaving nobody in any doubt whatsoever that it's wrong to judge a person on the color of their skin. If you think I am wrong, point me to the passage in the New Testament where Jesus makes this abundantly clear so that no one could be in any doubt that it's wrong to judge people on the color of their skin?
The problem is if God knows everything you're going to do beforehand how is there free will?
I want to know what bible is the right bible to start reading and where to start to become less of a lukewarm Christian
I pretty much agree with everything Theo said.
I love the NIV! I’ve been reading it since I was a teenager.
Confess your sin and repent. Get plugged in somewhere. Find a church, serve and love others, and bring forth more disciples! ❤️
good point cliffe, well todays American society holds life as the ultimate - when in noahs time eternity was more important. but cliffe should have brought up that God did send many messengers and prophets to WARN the people that God is going to bring judgement, and Noah building the ark was a great warning! . and if these people cared about THEIR kids, they would have done something about it!
If we are the chosen ones, for many are called and few are chosen, we will be found amongst the predestined ones, mentioned in the Bible as the predestinated.
But we also know that the knowledge of those prayers we would pray today, were seen by God during ancient yesterdays, namely before He created mankind.
For if our prayers were not playing an intrinsic part, albeit a small part in the salvation of others, why then should we pray them.
Would God have chosen these ones before the foundation of the world to be saved and predestinated without the prayers of the saints to be prayed in the future. Or would God have saved us without this love for others to be saved.
Surely God is allowing us the honour of playing a small part in His great salvation plan-knowing we will fast and pray for others to be saved.
Therefore we assume He utilises our prayers, having the knowledge before the foundation of the world
that we would pray them.
And as He knew before the foundation of the world, that we would indeed pray for these ones to be saved-He presumably deems us also worthy to be saved, because of proving it with of our love of others, by praying that they might be saved as well as ourselves.
And we know that as God knows all things, we therefore know, that He knows, before He creates them, those who have the wherewithal to be faithful to Him. And it’s these ones that He chooses, for why would He choose the unfaithful. And also why would He predestinate unless it was necessary.
Would we have been brought to that perfect place where repentance was possible, but not forced upon us, without God orchestrated our lives so we could indeed repent.
When we consider our lives we marvel at this and realise that we wouldn’t have repented without His orchestration of our lives. Therefore we see the necessity of predestination.
I think Jesus is cool but the way the guy was meaning it is the same thing I heard someone say. “You can’t tell me Jesus wasn’t a hippie smoking weed” no he was not he was perfect and he was God.
God knowing all things knew what would befall mankind if He created them.
And therefore God knew that if He created mankind, He would have to save them by being a sacrifice in the form of the Lord Jesus Christ.
But nevertheless, God knowing all this, still goes ahead with His plan to create man, knowing of the ransom that has to be paid.
If and when we should ever doubt if God loves us, we can cease from wondering, by remembering what God has done for us.
If God would have chosen to not create mankind, He would not have been crucified to a tree at Calvary. He could have avoided this. But He loves us with such a great love that for the joy that was set before Him. He went to the cross.
Hebrews 12:2 KJV
“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
❤
That's the problem today, churches try to make God "cool". Drawing people in by their senses which is very temporal. He is not Fonzie!
is god the real name of god .I hope it's not a confusing question because I'm really interested
@6:22 Where in the Bible does God say that children are innocent? In my Bible it says... "5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me."
The "innocent" people were saved from sin of Sofddom and Gommarah not punished like the SInful, that will/do reside in hell.

Mark 7:18-23 & 10:17-27,
I just wanna ask because I want to believe in Jesus but I just can’t stop thinking about how he takes away great people but he lets horrible people still harm and attack other people. Just why does god do this I just need an answer
Jesus is the coolest cool. Not one is cooler
God gives us a sphere of people to pray for. This is our great unseen ministry. And we are encouraged by the effectiveness of a persistent water droplet gently wearing away rock.
Luke 18:1-8 KJV
And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
This guy strikes me as a 90s Jordan Peterson 😂
I do not agree with Cliffe about babies being siners. Children may act evil but they dont really understand what they are doing so the intent is never evil. They can not make a choice between good and evil, as they can not comprehend the difference, this understanding of morals comes a bit later. Children are pure
They are pure but sin is passed down genetically from males. Which is why Jesus had to be born a virgin.
Jesus IS cool.
Yes he is, in that believing in him or any other"god" brings you peace in your life. It is cool. Course in hundred years the definition of"cool" will be changed to fit all charlatans views, not yours.
What if the loss of the lives of the children was a blessing from God (?) That He was bringing them back home while in the process He was also sending their adults to hell. God saved those children from That life.
Under our apostle Paul’s ministry,to be SAVED, you must BELIEVE/TRUST The Gospel of Jesus Christ,1 st Corinthians Chapter 15 verses 1-4.Jesus Christ died on the cross for all of your sins,was buried,and rose again on the third day.Jesus Christ’s Shed Blood is what saves you when you Believe this plan of salvation with your heart.Romans 3:25” Faith in His Blood”.
The insanity of Atheism:
“Your God doesn’t exist.”
2mins later….
“Look at all the horrible things your God did in the Bible.” 🤦🏽
Bigger insanity is something coming from absolutely nothing. Or the life of a single-cell organism coming out of nowhere and then turning into all the life on earth. Like how would plants evolve alongside flesh so perfectly or how did things like sex organs just develop and creatures knew to quit self-replicating and instead mate? More than that how did the mutations know to keep going in a certain direction that had nothing to do with survival? The entire idea is logically absurd
@@silverecho1201 Amen brother!
@@Theo_Skeptomai No it is not a false projection. I’ve had many debates with atheists on this channel who say they don’t believe in the existence of God but yet turn right around & complain about all the things this very God, whom they just said they didn’t believe in, did. If he doesn’t exist, why even argue about what he did or didn’t do?
@@Theo_Skeptomai And you still have not answered me regarding the fact that I know you live a miserable & unhappy life.

2nd death is the one to fear
Cliffe needs to mention When God judges a nation, the children are not victims of that judgement because of their innocence. They will recieve God's grace and spend eternity with Him. Those who died trusting in God even though they died will spend eternity with God even though they were caught up in the wrath of the judgement of the nation, they will not be eternally condemned to hell . Look at the Hebrews 11 saints who will be in heaven. Come on Cliffe. You need to grow in this area of explanation.
Yeshua is Lord
Christianity-in all its obnoxious denominations-is illogical, irrational, unreasonable and, of greatest import, unscientific. From mammalian parthenogenesis to talking non-human animals, from repeated corpse resurrection to impossible human longevity, this particular brand of mythology is unscientific to its core. Various absurdities, found in both the Old and New Testaments, simply cannot be reconciled with science-based reality and natural principles.

Slaughter of children is never good, except by God or when God told you to do so?
Some one has been reading "Numbers". nice.
So objective morality exists until god decides to commit genocide?
How can you calling God doing genocide if all human is literally His creation? You cannot call creator a murderer because that's literally His own.
@CalselAsks @CalselAsks Near the beginning when Cliffe argues objective morality and that killing children is wrong, one individual calls out how god kills children. Cliffe says, 1. Americans say the worse thing that can happen to a person is death, 2. Humans are interconnected, and 3. The children were collateral of god's judgement. The first two points don't really have a point and the third is an agreement that the children were collateral. How god didn't break his own morality is still unanswered
@@pencintahewan234I would argue how horrible of a thought that is but I think Alex O'Connor already makes a great point about this th-cam.com/video/Fa5tyqJOqfs/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared

Lol cliffe, if he backhands the grape juice, you must have him clean it up by himself. Rip the carpet, but its worth the price for the lesson it teaches them. Normally, kids who do things like that were conditioned due to a lack of related consequences, which would be an environmental factor after birth...
I don't think the first guy meant anything derogatory by it, Jesus is a cool guy
Jesus is coming very soon, and Romans 10, 9-10 states that: "That if thou shalt confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto rightousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." May God bless everyone who sees this in Jesus name, Amen. ❤
Cliff should challenge them to debunk the 'Sermon on the Mount' it is pure of morality or full of crap. From all the goodness one can see from the Beatitude this should convince him enough to put ones' trust and faith to Lord Jesus and he is no pony
