Cliffe Knechtle has a great conversation with college students at a campus in the southwest US.
The "Give Me An Answer" ministry began as an outgrowth of the dialogues Cliffe Knechtle has had with students on various university campuses throughout the United States. These universities include the University of Maine, Harvard, MIT, University of Florida, University of Texas, University of Wisconsin, University of Minnesota, University of California Los Angeles, University of California San Diego, Berkeley, Stanford, University of Hawaii and the University of Washington. Cliffe spoke on these campuses in front of the Student Union or Library at noon for five to ten minutes. At the close of his initial remarks, he'd open up the time for questions and answers, which usually turned into a two to four hour dialogue with students. His crowd size ranged from 25 - 500 students at a time, and between classes, new students would join the discussion. This is an extremely effective way to reach a large number of university students with the Gospel of Christ.

I listen to these videos while I remove snow ❄️ around my house. It’s very comforting and interesting. Thank you so much for sharing the gospel and saving all these people.
saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”Aug 25, 2017
this is just a fascinating conversation~ thanks Cliff, I've learned a lot from your talk~
All I gotta say is the evidence of choosing Jesus speaks for itself..never has been matched and never will be matched..
Cliffe, you've taught me to think rationally. I appreciate your profound conversation with listeners.
These gnostic gospels were titled with the name of an apostle. Contrary to this, the Gospels in the Bible originally had no authorship title but Christians knew who wrote which Gospel. Later on, they were given their names for the obvious reason of keeping authorship clear.
Father Continue to circulate and use Brother Cliffes spreading of your truth and lead souls to salvation in Jesus name 🌅
Those kids parents must have told them about Cliff when they attended school there!!!!! That's pretty awsome!!!!! 😃
im 100% sure Jesus is the truth.
being 100% sure doesn't make it true fried IT. But if Jesus helps you in life that's fine with me :-)
@@bonnie43uk I am 100% sure. Please watch my Near Death Experience video uploaded a few days ago.
@@TheHeartOfTheHour1 Happy to watch it my friend. I used to be convinced of Near death experiences many years ago, but I think science can explain how and why they occur. But I'll happily check out your experience. Whatever the true cause, they are fascinating either way.
bonnie43uk what is "truth" without God? Where do you get absolutes outside of God to even conduct science? Thx
@@jesussaves2131 what do you mean by absolutes? I'm not absolutely sure about anything. .. there are degrees of certainty.
Very well argued. Thank you!
I would have loved to see cliff debate Christopher hitchens, Sam Harris, Aron ra, or any anthropologist at uc Berkeley.. that would be awesome!!
Cliff has debated Aron Ra. You can find the debate on Cliffe's channel.
amen
Amen🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💯
Thank you!

There was a curse set on the Davidic line in Jeremiah 22 that none of his descendants (starting with Jeconiah) would prosper and rule. This means that any DIRECT descendant of the line of kings is disqualified to reign on the throne of David as the messiah.
Through the legal precedent set forth by Moses for the daughters of Zelophehad, Jesus was legally accepted as a legal successor to the line of David without being a cursed direct blood descendant of Jeconiah.
That is as I was taught it.
Daddy cliff always makes the best points 😫
I love you cliff! .. Or my home one day I can sit down with you and meet you.
To everyone on these threads I'm leaving comments and some places where they get kind of jumbled because the formats different than I'm used to I apologize please whether you're Christian or non-Christian on here what's always be respectful to each other ever, to be clean and concise if possible are the minor usually long windy this time I'll tell you because I'm legally blind it's harder to type it out than it is to speak it. But again I just asked that we always treat each other with respect when I've been on here before there was a lot of disrespect and Tom really really think about some of the points you've heard from people please don't just try to ignore have fun having discussions really taking the heart different things you've heard because believe it or not I have time when you said things please try.
Thank you, Jacob. You've got a 100% agreement from me here. Best wishes.
@@JohnCashin thank you John and I don't know how many times I'll be on that if I'm on year-round and you're just say hey and if I get home and see you got, so you know I respond always polite I will be out much anymore my life is just too crazy but God is good all the time have a great night and weekend and Merry Christmas!
@ 28:19 Either the two lying down are studying way to hard, or into His hands the've committed their spirit.
I know I've made a lot of statements tonight this is my last one probably of this whole thread as I told you guys when I was on here probably over a month ago I'm primarily guess they off because of family illnesses and other issues but when I saw this I had to respond to please forgive me that I've left a lot of comments but it's only because I love Christ and I love you all amen.

Yes the Bible does say He will come twice
Psalms 110:1” the Lord said to my Lord come up here until I make Your enemies Your footstool”
Additionally who is David’s Lord in that scripture?
James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

John the Baptist was the greatest prophet, yet the least of us Christians are greater than he was.
wrong. the least in heaven is greater than John the baptist (on earth)
Hook 'EM! I remember Cliff back in the late 80's as I attend UT! Thanks Cliff!
You should never ever tell people that you have doubts about Jesus. Jesus even repuked Thomas for doubting.
Cliffe is imperfect, but I love him anyway. I believe he's doing a great work by getting Christ's foot in the door in the heart's of a lot of young people.
Was it when he was doubting Jesus when himself was walking on water or something ?
Son to defeat everything
I'm glad to hear that Cliffe say he isn't 100% certain, and that he doubts.. we have something in common. It's good to doubt and to ask lots of questions.
You don't doubt Tom. Your totally ANTI-THEIST. Big difference.
@@isanna6075 I doubt all the time Isanna, as I said, it's good to doubt, if you believe something doesn't quite feel right, question it. I certainly would not call myself an anti-theist, if people derive any kind of positive feelings from belief in a God I would never tell anyone to stop believing... I've been commenting on Cliffe's video's for many years now, and I've never once told someone they should stop believing, quite the opposite, I've always told people if Christianity works for them it's all well and good with me. I think it's good to have differing opinions, and it's good to discuss them on here, I always enjoy chatting with Christians, it's a subject close to my heart.
bonnie43uk I don’t it’s possible for anyone to be 100% certain. Otherwise this subject would be over with
@@mikeramos91 Correct Michael, and it's an excellent subject to discuss, I'm sure we've spoken with each other before :-)
@@mikeramos91 Still waiting for those contradictions from Aron Ra. :)
Hey cliff, why have concluded that the universe was made millions or billions of years ago?
Always be a skeptic!!

Never expect a good community from a godless generation.
Pls what exactly is your standard for goodness of a society?
@@Dami-dm5sj my standard of goodness is irrelevant if there is NO god, friend. It will all turn out to be relative.
@@ziarchiveofficial that's not my point..... you wrote "never expect a good community from a godless generation" but you didn't define what good is from your perspective....I say this because I have observed different people use different standards for measuring goodness irrespective of their belief in a God or not. And your statement implies that a good community cannot be achieved without a God, I'm just curious as to how you came to this conclusion without defining your standard for goodness.
PS..... I'm also a Christian....I just thought the statement was a little confusing. God bless
@@Dami-dm5sj my friend, if you are a Christian then, probably, we have at least the same definition of good for which I do not have to define it for you since the Bible made a distinction between good and evil.
Also, our beliefs help shape our community as a whole and without GOD then the standard of "goodness" will depend on who is superior or has the upper hand.
Same with those species that has no ability to have freewill and faith, "good" is just relative.
Bible is exclusive and GOD is the definition of good, my friend.
It would help us greatly if you can please define discipline?
It's obeying God's WORD
Am baffled dat Pastor Cliffe said he's not 100% sure dat Christ is d truth. Why does he do all dat study to talk these students about Jesus if he didn't believe Jesus is d truth, wouldn't dat b leading dem astray? Even Jesus said He's d truth, d life & d way. I understand there's things u can't b 100% sure about, but surely Pastor Cliffe has reached d level where he can b sure dat Jesus is d truth. Hopefully Pastor Cliffe will explain someday why he said that.
Judaism is passed down through the mother. Mary was from the line of David. How does that jewish kid not know this?
Can a Jewish person explain to me Isaiah 53 because how can a story be written about Jesus Christ 500 years before it he was born and the story is in your Bible the Torah
I'm not Jewish, but my God is. The answer is surprisingly straightforward. God sees all of time at once. He knows past, present and future. He gives information to people who then relay that information to others. That's what prophecy is.
There is only one God -- it's not as if there is a group of different Gods from which you can pick and choose.
Watch closely while Cliffe uses spoken words to create God
We dont believe in the god who is created by humans in their head but we believe in the god who created humans with a head that's why we call him the ONE TRUE LIVING GOD. Understand , James?
“Jesus didn’t fulfill any of the requirements of the Messiah.”
“The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.” (Matthew 1:1 KJV)
“Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?” (Luke 24:25-26 KJV)
“And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.” (Luke 24:44 KJV)
“The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.” (Mark 1:1-2 KJV)
To the jew
The messiah had to come before the second temple was destroyed! If he dident the the profit was wrong wich means he was not a prophet.
He didn't answer the question directly the book of enonch is very different from the new testament and he was supposedly Mosses father
The Chinese guy said the book of Enoch!!!!!!! Forget about the other books that were not included. Explain book of Enoch because I think that it was wrongfully taken out of the Bible. I think we would understand the Bible better if the book of Enoch was included.
Anyone else getting reverb on this video?

How can you lead someone to the Gospel and Jesus by telling them that you don't believe it 100%.
Because no one can be 💯% sure about anything?
@@Dami-dm5sj how can I love God with everything in me if I'm not a 100% sure He is real? I get it with the little things but not with God and Jesus and the reserection. I believe that 💯.

Nationality it means you lose at the end
Actually, Jesus did fulfill the kingly requirements because Joseph was adopted by Mary's father.
Cliffs, you don't know that the authors of the gospels were eyewitnesses. We only have very authorship for Paul.
The early church fathers knew the authors especially those who were taught by the authors of the gospels and the chain of custody of multiple letters from the time of the disciples for more than 2 centuries is what helped establish the authorship as we know it today, by the time the Bible was cannonized.

Theirs division in churches because of the kenites, children of satan. In Ezra chapter 8, their called Nethinims, they slowly worked their way into priesthood and as scribes. Who brought Jesus to pontius pilate? Answer better be Kenites. First chronicles 2:55. And the families of the scribes which dwelt at Jabez; the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and Suchathites, . These are the Kenites that came of Hemath, father of the house of Rechab. Who killed the prophets? Who killed Jesus? Who started division in churches? Let's Get Real. Jesus taught us in Matthew chapter 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulcher of the righteousness, 23:30 And say, if we had been on the days of our fathers, we would not have been par takers with them in the blood of the prophets. The nethinims, kenites, built smoke screen, acting innocent, acting holy and religious. Their the ones who killed the prophets and wise men. Kenites poison people's minds with traditions of men, cause division. Satan is their father. Satan is coming near future in his role as antichrist. He will offer cup of salvation, it leads to hell. The word antichrist means instead of christ. Theirs 2 weddings, antichrist comes first, 6th trump, Jesus arrives 7th trump. Satan will load his buses up for trip to hell in near future. Study the bible.
It's not like you or better than him a bit or a lot it's like lower than him or a lot lower than him
Why did Jude, Peter and Jesus Quote from the book of Enoch if it not True!!! Your not making no sense!!!! I believe in the Book of Enoch and I still believe in Jesus Christ???!!!
The Jews of Jesus day called him the Son of David? Why Jews?
Okay I promise you I'm not lying I'm not a hypocrite but when I heard Cliff just say that he was so wrong and he's a pastor he should know better in the Bible is explicit in saying the Christ comes two more times after he comes in a baby he comes the second time when he comes to bring the dead in Christ first up in the air and once with Christ alive up in the air to meet them and they go to heaven together so that's the second coming and it's very clear and several different books of the New Testament and you know actually speaks of abib in the Old Testament last week and talked with his third coming over after a thousand years in heaven and we raining with him and go over the books of Life etcetera etcetera etcetera that we come back or third time to raise the dead Rotting Christ bring them their final judgment they burn up for good and they are never to be more but ashes under our feet and then he makes a new Earth and we get to do well with and spend eternity enjoying the earth and the new animals and doing many other wonderful wonderful things.
There are only two Advents described in the Bible: Jesus’ First Coming as Savior and Jesus’ Second Coming as Judge. Both times He is physically on the earth. Jesus does not set foot on the earth at the Rapture. Believers are “caught up...in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air” (1 Thessalonians 4:17). Jesus doesn’t come down to earth to gather believers, we are caught up to meet Him “in the clouds...in the air” where He already is. Therefore, the Rapture cannot be considered His Second Coming.
Didn’t Christ say that John the Baptist was the greatest prophet?
“Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe.”
Hebrews 1:1-2 NLT
“And so, dear brothers and sisters who belong to God and are partners with those called to heaven, think carefully about this Jesus whom we declare to be God’s messenger and High Priest. For he was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses served faithfully when he was entrusted with God’s entire house. But Jesus deserves far more glory than Moses, just as a person who builds a house deserves more praise than the house itself. For every house has a builder, but the one who built everything is God. Moses was certainly faithful in God’s house as a servant. His work was an illustration of the truths God would reveal later. But Christ, as the Son, is in charge of God’s entire house. And we are God’s house, if we keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ.”
Hebrews 3:1-6 NLT
@@Masonman928 I agree 💯%. Christ was more than a prophet. Christ is God in the flesh. My comment was in regards to what Cliff said.
@@jamaalwhite648 Ah, sorry about that. God bless.
@@jamaalwhite648 yes Jesus cannot lie, so John the baptist is the greater prophet
Actually Christ said that no one born of woman is greater than John the Baptist. But he who is least in heaven is greater than he.
How do you know with any degree of certainty that those reasons are true? You are missing 30yrs of possible sins. no one knows just empty assertions.
It's possible that Jesus sinned during that time. You're right. But what about the 3 years straight that we do know of? If you can go a single day without sinning once, that's impressive. 3 years? If you can believe 3 years, 30 is no problem.

There is no known evidence substantiating the historicity of Jesus.
WOW... You've obviously NEVER done any proper research into your presuppositional claim.
@@GraftedOliveBranch And you are obviously an idiot whom has no idea as to which you speak. I spent 18 months researching the historicity of Christ for my masters thesis (MDiv, Ecumenic Studies, Princeton Theological Seminary). Now let's demonstrate just how ignorant you are on this subject. Name any sources whom you attests can demonstrate the historicity of Jesus. Name only one - I want to discuss each and every source you choose to introduce - but only ONE ISSUE AT A TIME. I will be asking you straightforward questions about this sources that I expect you to answer DIRECTLY. There will be no HESTITATION on your part not to answer such questions DIRECTLY. Is that not true? Yes or no.

Luke" the gentile historian/physician, mentioned in the Bible.... "Josephus" the jewish historian, "Tacitus" the Roman historian. "Philemon". There are also letters written to King Herod written by Pontius Pilate about Jesus and his teachings, The list literally goes on and on, just like your ignorance toward this exact topic....
@@theoskeptomai2535 NO, that is NOT true, due to the fact that your ignorance is bliss when it comes to the proof of a "historical" Jesus. People like you are not opened minded to the possibilities of being proven wrong, (whereas i am). You are stuck in your ways of misinformed belief... I guess you could say that your ignorance is set in stone...
Please tell me the evidence which shows that Jesus did NOT exist. I would absolutely love to hear your argument for the lack of evidence for Jesus NOT existing.....
There are literally more books in the world that are written about the historical Jesus, than any other historical figure recorded in history.

15:50 Cliff is a brilliant Christian defender, but a person who gives respect to Muhammed? This is complete nonsense, he also always uses the so called "terrible" history of "white Christians" to gain points with indoctrinated anti-white, anti-western, antichristian college students to make a point. Its Ridiculous. Christianity and White people made this World what it is. FACT!!!!!!!!!! And i am mixed race!
hendrix3081 do you not condemn white Christians who had and abused slaves in the south in the pre-war era? And then justified this by using certain passages in the Bible? What about after slavery was over and the white southern Christians who did allow blacks into church, but made them sit in the back?
Jesus made this world great. The is fact. Guess what. Jesus wasn't a blond haired blue eyed white man. We must give Muhammad respect, but Cliff has been very pointed in saying that Muhammad did not live a perfect moral life and that he sinned. And "white Christianity" has done terrible things. But so has every other color of Christianity. Many have hijacked Christianity which is the point Cliff makes repeatedly. But a "Christian" lives by what Jesus spoke. You can inspect their fruits...
@@charleslaird706 true. A tree is known by its fruits.
If Jesus ever died, then he was not God.
God is unchanging; "becoming" a man would be a change, so he never did such a thing.
“I’m not 100% sure Jesus is the truth”? That’s why I prefer presuppositional apologetics
Jesus was not God, and he never claimed to be God.
”I’ve got a truckload of evidence that some kind of god exists.” No you haven’t. Nothing that would pass the scrutiny of a court of law or a scientific peer review process. BTW I wonder if anyone have tried to get a paper like that published in a respected journal like Nature. ”God exists - A summary of the evidence”.
Johnathon Morris The claims about the miracles are only anecdotes. Anecdotes are not evidence. He might have existed as a historical person but that doesn’t prove he was more than human.
so you think it's more probably that all of "this" (earth, life, everything in the universe that ever was and is) came about through dust particles and essentially means nothing more than the meaning we give it? I think it's way more likely that something or someone caused all of "this" to happen. It just doesn't make sense that it's all a cosmic accident.
Jeezy F Sometimes I hope there is a creator god and therefore maybe some kind of afterlife/heaven. But I don’t find it likely. My point was that all we can do is speculate.and I think it is intellectually dishonest to pretend there is evidence when there isn’t. Or claim that this god wrote a specific book or that he cares about what you wear or tells you who not to sleep with.
@@svanteforsman8244 you think that's what's important to Christians? do you think it's just about following what (at times) seem to be nothing, but arbitrary rules? Jeez, sorry Christians have given you the impression that's what it's all about.
Jeezy F For the israelites the rules were for real. If you gathered firewood on the wrong day you were stoned to death. Women were according to Gods law stoned to death if they failed to prove they were a virgin on the wedding night. I was raised in a christian home and I’ve read the bible more than once.
