- Cliffe Knechtle has a good dialogue with students at Texas State University. Recorded in October 2015.
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.
Cliffe dealt with the guys at the start wonderfully he didn't mock or humiliate them instead he listed to them and respected their views. This is how you change the hearts and minds of people by being tolerant and patient with people who disagree with us.
Exactly. We are called to love the sinner and hate the sin.
It really irks me when I see Christians bashing those who sin, when even the Christian can't stop sinning either. We're all sinners, every single last one of us. And we'll have the constant battle between the flesh and the spirit until we get our glorified bodies in heaven.
@@GraceAlone614the problem is homosexuals are now wanting us to be quiet and not talk about biological truths which align with our religious beliefs, sir that's not going to happen and i will not let homosexuals bash me for speaking the truth.
Cliffe is too cool. He answered those four questions like a boss. (:
The HOLY SPIRIT IS A BOSS😎✝️🙏🏾😊❤️ and JESUS LOVES YOU WITH AN EVERLASTING ETERNAL LOVEE
@@darkeen42 you should really start being more health conscious.
I love his stance when he is getting ready to explain...like a linebacker...
Tackling the main issues haha
He played college basketball, it's a basketball defensive stance 😆
There's a difference between love and acceptance and Cliffe demonstrated love excellently
Which is why I agree with cliffe's definition of love. It's working for the well being of others.
This must be the first time many of these students have heard this argument ... because it is a simple argument, but very profound.
yeah he really tries hard to explain the concept. I think a lot of these students are projecting judgments they think Cliff is making w/out really trying to understand what he's communicating
The moral argument for Gods existence is among the strongest of them in my opinion. Self proclaimed atheists appeal to objective rights, wrongs and truths all while simultaneously claiming that they are merely subjective and relative to the individual.
e
@theologicalzest3870 If the moral argument is so strong, why are there over 45,000 denominations. Why can't these churches agree on these morals. It's also funny that despite biblical sanction, there aren't any christians advocating for the death penalty for working on the Sabbath, reintroducing slavery, or killing fortune tellers. It's as if Christians pick and choose their morality just like everyone else.
This is so funny. They came to silently protest holding up signs. Cliff answers them, but then they realized they can't speak and refute him. 🤣🤣🤣
They tried to intimate cliff and mock him with what they were wearing but they mocking themselves really with what they are representing.
I love his calmness. He answers things so calmly. It keeps them quiet. The Bible does teach method too
I am apologetics student in seminary, I pray I can be half as calm and logical as Cliff...
Guys like this encourages me to continue.
I think the mere need for Apologetics more that adequately demonstrates the absurdity of christian ideology.
@@trumpbellend6717I agree it is a Need.... unfortunately it shines light on the absurdity of the world who has lost the ability to think and reason logically.
@trump bellend Who or what are you living for, and what is the evidence for who or what you are living for that points to that thing that you have faith in, being true and reliable?
Only just come across this fella, he’s brilliant.
It's a judgement in itself when someone says don't judge!! they are making a judgement not to judge others we all judge it's self righteous judgment is what is wrong not all judgement.
Every time I listen to Cliff I learn something new and think a different way. Love his teaching.
That girl was sent there to hear Cliffe that was powerful when she mentions her brother.
Brother Cliffe, I thank you for what you do.
Whoever is reading this... ✝️ God knows your heart 💓 He knows your pain, hurt and struggles 💔. He will RESTORE YOU Just don’t give up ⚔️🛡😇👑🙏🔥😊
Cliff your a blessing. Keep doing God's work. Shalom
Owned 'em Cliffe. Well done. Thanks!
My favorite thing Cliff demonstrates is Christlike patience and humility
Where does the Bible and Jesus say you shouldnt judge? It in fact says the exact opposite. It says not to judge hypocritical judgment but to judge righteous judgment because the measure with which you judge will be measured back to you.
You could argue some scriptures say not to judge, but I think the clearest is Matthew 7:1-2 - ""Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
So I would say if you're going to judge someone then do so fairly. I accuse someone of being a bad person then I need to examine my motives for everything I do.
@@lastjkid you guys are both missing the point of a little bit and we all make that same mistake sometimes wondering Heat of the Moment. Again you're not talking about their hearts or things like that of course we can't judge their hearts because only God can judge the heart that you only God knows everything in the heart the evil of the good so forth. But we are allowed to judge actions so if our child comes home drunk from drinking and driving at the age of 17 we can judge that action how unsafe incorrect illegal and immoral it was thinking even if they called stupid because they do know right from wrong and for that there's just a bad choice they made. That we can judge we can judge the reaction to us if there are acting like a four year old there's a lot of judging were allowed to do out of Common Sense and sometimes we make that mistake.
@@godislove363 Matthew 7:3-5 says we are to judge others' sinful actions, but only when we are judging our own actions first and foremost lest we become hypocritical.
@@DiamondInTheRough. I don't understand because I agree with you that's what I said now if my words confuse you because I'm legally blind and I type something wrong I apologize but I 100% agree with you.
I believe some folks mean to be a judgemental person
This guy is cool, he shows true love through patience with these kids
I love how cliff does a wonderful job loving these kids!
Pastor Cliff, Thank you for your Ministry, Devotion and your Joyful Heart for "Sovereign Father and Lord Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit" 1 CORINTHIANS 6:18 FLEE FROM SEXUALL IMMORALITY, EVERY OTHER SIN A PERSON COMMITS IS OUTSIDE THE BODY, BUT THE SEXUALLITY IMMORAL PERSON SINS AGAINST HIS OWN BODY.
hearing an argument start with "You can't tell people..." is telling people something. It's literally a self-defeating argument.
Lol people are not very smart
Iv seen people say there is no truth which is a truth claim lol
That's like saying I can't speak English or write it
Hi Jzy. You should humble yourself and listen to his complete argument before cutting him off at the knees intellectually with his first four words. We respect you. Please respect us. Thanks, Robert LearnChristianity.org
Thank you for the kingdom work you are doing! I am so blessed to watch these interactions and better equip myself for battle.
Deuteronomy 22:5 "There shall not be the thing of a man on a woman, neither shall a man put a woman's garment on. For all that do so [are] abominable to the LORD your God."
He touched her...you can see it. Let's pray this seed grows🤗🙏🙏
Every body start preparing for the great tribulation now stock up on food and supplies and most important of all trust in the LORD OF LORDS KING JESUS ALWAYS.
Cliff, I don't know you personally or your heart, I don't know how God will judge you, but what I can say is, from what I have seen of you in these videos, I couldn't imagine God not being proud of you. The thought of that interaction, inspires me to be a better person and to live for God, I like to think I do, but I continue to willfully sin. I will continue to struggle with it until I conquer it, I hope and pray.
Regardless, I would love to see God telling you what a great job you did and how many people you saved. Hopefully, one day I'll have the courage to do it too, even if it's only for a stranger or two. Thank you for what you do and glory to God! God bless you all 🙏
Pastor Cliffe, Thank you for your Ministry and Devotion. EPHESIANS 5:5 FOR YOU MAY BE SURE OF THIS, THAT EVERYONE WHO IS SEXUALLY IMMORAL OR IMPURE, OR WHO IS CONVETOUS ( THAT IS AN IDOLATER ) HAS NO INHERITANCE IN THE KINGDOM OF CHRIST AND GOD.
Cliffe is so blessed
This was a really good video.
You one stone cold pop Cliffe, God bless you.
Sad how she can’t figure it out.
1:53 when that banger of a tracks comes in so good
Good Word! Keep on loving people!
When people tell you not to judge, they themselves are making a judgement. So ask them, why are they judging you for judging. They are basically contradicting their own statement. Everybody makes judgements Everyday, the literal definition of judgement is this.
Judgement: The ability to make considered decisions or come to sensible conclusions
So when you tell me to stop judging, your basically telling me not to make a decision. Your actually telling me it's wrong to stop somebody who's Killing innocent people. So thefore your telling the police force to stop judging people for stealing, killing, raping ECT. You see when people tell you to stop judging their basically saying Good and evil are equal.
What they don't understand is that the very thing that saves people from going to hell is being judged. Constantly threw the bible sinners are being judged. John the prophet judged, the apostles judged. That's the only way people get saved, they are judged for their sins and told they need to change. They need to repent and the only way they figure out they need to repent and are need of being saved is by being judged.
Repent in Jesus name of your sins, accept Jesus as your Lord and savior and follow him. God bless you all.
“Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, shall be put to death." - Exodus 21:16 (ESV)
"Judge not lest you be judged” is a snippet from Christ’s great Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:3-7:27). In Matthew 7, Jesus turns to the topic of judging others. Sadly, the passage is one of the most misunderstood and misapplied teachings in Scripture by believers and non-believers alike. In his commentary on Matthew, Stuart Weber gives this excellent summary of the correct meaning of Matthew 7:1: “Do not judge others until you are prepared to be judged by the same standard. And then, when you exercise judgment toward others, do it with humility” (Holman New Testament Commentary, Vol. 1, p. 96).
When Jesus said, “Judge not lest you be judged,” He wasn’t issuing a blanket rule that people are never to judge others. A closer look at the rest of the passage illuminates the real issue Christ wanted to address: “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged. And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye” (Matthew 7:1-3, NLT).
Christ’s teaching was primarily directed to believers, but the principle can be applied to anyone. Jesus does expect us to “deal with the speck” in our friend’s eye, particularly our brothers and sisters in Christ. He wants us to discern sin in others so we can help them get rid of it. The purpose of judging someone else’s weakness is to help him or her walk in freedom (1 Corinthians 5:12). But how can we help someone else if we are not free? We must first be willing to look honestly at our own lives and exercise the same judgment toward ourselves. When we do this, we judge from a position of humility.
Jesus’s statement to “judge not lest you be judged” zeroed in on the problems of spiritual hypocrisy and self-centered pride. He compared these offenses to giant logs that blind us to our own faults while we laser in on shortcomings in others." www.gotquestions.org/judge-not-lest-you-be-judged.html
I enjoy listening to the logic
No one is born gay, now that’s not to say that it’s always a choice. Homosexuality is a developed mindset, this assertion is validated by the fact that babies, infants and toddlers don’t have any sexual attraction.
Thanks for the tips you have shared here.
It doesn't matter in the end whether I kill someone or I am a liar, if I do not repent and trust in Jesus alone, he'll awaits me.
The Word doesn't say as long as you don't kill lying isn't that bad. No, all sin leads to death!
Everyone is responsible for their own actions. It is by those actions that a person is judged both good and bad. We must make judgement calls every day in order to make wise decisions. But we must first make sure that we have all the relevent information before we make any judgements.
For example: how do we know someone is a thief? First we must know the definition of theft. Then we must observe the person committing an act that matches that description. Then we must make sure that we did not miss anything by gaining all the information from the relevant persons. Finally we are able to declare whether that person is a thief. Is that a judgement? Yes it is, but it would be a fair judgement.
Another example: is Jakob Poltl a good basketball player? Again we have to define "good basketball player" Is he good like Lebron James or is he good because he plays professional NBA basketball? Another judgement call. One could say yes he is but someone else could point out his stats for the last season, compare them to the stats of other basketball players and conclude that he is not, which would be a better judgement call.
Judgement is not just a weapon to demean people. Judgement is deterimining what is good and bad in the world around us and what is in us. Some people are very uncomfortable with the idea and tend to react badly when they are forced to look at themselves honestly.
I absolutely agree with you casey, each scenario should be looked at in it's own context, it's very easy to judge someone without knowing all the facts. This is why I believe things like morals are subjective. There are scenario's in life when it would seem the morally wrong thing to do can actually be the right thing to do.
bonnie43uk You are correct but the morality doesn't change, it is the information that makes a difference. Morality cannot be subjective, because if it is, it becomes irrelevent and the world ends up in chaos. Just because you may understand why a person did something wrong does not make the action right.
1961casey We will have to differ on this my friend, are you saying that mankind isn't capable of working out good actions from bad actions?
Also, wouldn't you say that something like stoning a person to death for adultery was seen as morally acceptable during biblical times and sanctioned by God, but today it would be seen very much as immoral to carry out such an act. What we see as moral and immoral changes with the times.
bonnie43uk
There is a difference between legislative punishments & the moral implications of the infraction. What if the adulterous people are not caught? There is no punishment, so is it then morality acceptable? No! It is morally wrong either way. So we know that much.
Now, let's look at law & order. There are no police, there is no state payed people who carry out punishments. Often this was left to the family, unless you bring that person before a judge. Then everyone is in on it.
The law is two fold. One to judge & punish offenders, & two to encourage people to resolve their own problems/not break the law. This means that justice must be clear, if carried out. It also requires three witnesses who knew you were in fact committing adultery. You basically would have to be flaunting the law to be caught by it. In practice, the law is far more fair, than your overly simplified question implies.
Well, this was a weird start to the video...
hahhaha yeah it was
My thoughts exactly. But doesn't take away the points cliff were trying to make.
😂
Daniel Ide yeah but cliffe handled it well
Its was cool seeing him handle such a display lol
Amazing answers to my fellow from Brazil !
Amazing
Man in dresses and skirts are frighteningly frightening ,well besides being comical as well.
A fallen world we live in…
Judge without being judgmental.
Some confused looking guys LOL
Why do people always say they know the Bible back and forth when it's a lie. No you don't know the Bible back and forth. If you had studied it you wouldn't have came to the conclusions that you did.
The girl said she knows the bible back and forth. LOL I know theologians that have been studding the bible for 20 - 50 years that would never say anything close to that.
@10:18 that dude is a true intellectual hypocrite, he acted as if he never judges. When I’m fact all humans judge everyday. You cannot live in the human experience on earth without making judgements. He said there are less which decide what is wrong and judge those evil things, but that doesn’t mean that only the law decides that those things which it judges are evil.
I worked Essex county for 4 years
Without the law Sin is dead
Epic
WRONG . Not everyone has value. They have potential..
It is scary how some college students think. Before I was college age I understood that we chose to bring some of the Old testament laws into the New testament. However, the New testament is a New covenant with God and the Old testament has died away. I'm not going to explain what I mean by died away. I will say it is a figure of speech when describing the New testament.
The bible says NOT to judge if we are guilty of the SAME THING! Romains
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
Before I took off like that I meant to say if you are born again in Christ,you don't have to fear judgement,and if you don't have the spiritual understanding from God that Jesus is His Son you are lost anyway.The Son is the key to the lock that opens the door to eternal live with our creator.
Do those kind of empty threats actually work with ANYONE ? Let me ask you. Do you lose any sleep at night worrying what If the Buddhist god is the real one ? No , how about islam or hinduism ? Maybe those that believed in Thor , Zeus mithrah , or any of the thousands of other gods got it right 🤔🤔
But hey let's just assume that the god with the talking snake is indeed the correct one . There are thousands of denominations of christianity and each one has its own particular interpretation of gods wishes and morality and that all the other denominations and interpretations have got it wrong .
Many believe that unless you are in their specific denomination you are doomed to hell ( that means you )
You see you and me both are atheists to all these thousands of other gods , I just go one god further 😜
trump bella,no i dont lose any sleep over people following false beliefs.It does bother me that people will be lost.ive looked briefly into some of those beliefs,they ate fabricated deceptions,designed by the evil one to confuse weak minded people,to steer them away from the yrue God and His Son Jesus.But to believe that when i die i can come back as an elephant or dog, until i come to a greater knowledge,and reach nervana,is to stupid to contemplate.with any seriousness.How could me being a frog take me to the nevt level of wisdom? cant,and wont.And all the fake ones syeal just enough from the bible to gain a little validity.Then satan adds his lies,hidden in the few truths.But no,no worries,im totally confident in the fact that Jesus is Gods Son and is in fact the total trason for the crration of mankind to begin with.this is just a testing ground,for us to choose Jesus and the truth,or the devil and his lirs.bit thanks for asking.
trump,i just read the rest of your comment.it is absolutely correct that out of true christianity based on Jesus and Him being Gods Son ,that He came in the flesh,sent by His Father,to set things back in order,with forgiveness of sins by the shedding of His sinless blood to redeem all those who believe in Him .and reject all false beliefs concockted by satan.suxh as the false teachings .these have errored by turning the Son of God into an idol made in their own immage ,thats teachings do not align with the teachings of the bible.
@@ricklamb772 lol so many words to say so little, lots of ASSERTIONS but no "evidence" 🤔 How could any rational person possibly think that a god decided that the best way for him to be able to forgive man, for being evil & immoral by breaking rules that god knew in advance that they would break when he made those rules and created evil. Was to send a version of himself down to earth then sacrifice himself to himself. Thus preventing his need to punish his creations for something their ancestors did before they knew the difference between right and wrong. 🤔 ???????
☝️☝️ I mean just actually think about that for a minute 🤔🤔🤔
This has to be THE most illogical ideology imaginable, it fails on just about every conceivable level. But then again I supose that's to be expected when its origins lie in the myths , knowledge, and world views of superstitious, uneducated, primative, child sacrificing, tribesmen. But I digress, so anyway just who is it that gets punished for this "ORIGINAL SIN " ?
Well that's really rather confusing isnt it, firstly the snake (supposedly the devil) gets punished by having to crawl on its belly for the rest of its days. EXCEPT that the devil is later frequently discribed as "walking around " (an incredible achievement for a paraplegic) indeed he has no problem whatsoever scaling "unusually high mountains" demonstrating skills that would make a Nepalese sherpa green with envy 🤢🤢🤔
Then adam and eve lose their eternal life, except that if they were already eternal why did god also put a tree of eternal life in the garden and ban them from eating from it ?? 🤔🤔
Then of course we have Adam's decendants being punished for it, which seems highly illogical & imoral to me. 🤔 But to be fair the bible seems a little confused on the matter also 👇👇👇👇
The Lord...visits the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation. (Exodus 34:6-7 = Deuteronomy 5:8-10)
............................vrs..................
The son shall *not* suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. (Ezekiel 18:20, cf. Jeremiah 31:30)
You know to me that whole original sin biblical narative ( forbidden fruit ect ) seems analogous to me putting a loaded shotgun in a toddlers cot telling them not to touch it, and then being surprised when I hear a *BANG* 💥 and I'm not even omniscient 🤣😅🤣😅
But does this vicarious redemption ( scapegoating) solve the problem and lead to a just and moral solution ??
Well imagine a girl gets raped, they catch the rapist and he gets found guilty in court. The judge sentences him to life, but then says to him "dont worry I will serve your sentence for you"
Has the rapist recieved JUSTICE ???
Has the raped girl received JUSTICE ???
Of course not yet that is precisely what happens under the Christian vicarious redemption (scapegoating)
Nonsense ideology 🤬🤬
Infact it's an actual Tennant of christianity that even a child murder can be forgiven and go to heaven, if they but repent and believe. 🤮🤮
Your god CANNOT be both perfectly just and perfectly merciful.
Mercy is by definition a suspension of justice.
The young man in the red shirt is very ignorant . If he /we did not make judgement calls , we would not know the difference between RIGHT and wrong .
I love cliff but I'm not with him about hating a man not being comparable to murder because Jesus did say "I know you have heard thou shall not murder, but I tell you this. if you hate your brother you have committed murder in your heart"
So I am conflicted when I hear him say there is a difference. Though, I do agree there is a clear difference because the consequences of those sins are different.
Great video though.
👍👍👍
sometimes i feel cliff doesnt really answer the question. it wouldnt hurt to ask them again what they are asking because they often ramble alot.
one person said some people broke commandments and therefore the bible contradicts itself which was a very weak argument which should have been picked up on !
Many times what they say diverts from the issue at hand. It's like when in a debate we say, "got too hot in the kitchen, come back in."
It's understandable if you pay attention.
What is to keep us from murdering? How do we know murder is wrong?
That's right judgment, not judgy or judgemental but in order to ensure that we don't become murderers we will have to look at a murder and judge that their actions are evil and wrong or most likely we will not see that it is actually 100% wrong.
God says judge righteously, He didn't say don't judge one another, that's a falicy.
Just like money isn't evil, judging one another isn't evil. Unless, unless you make it evil.
I can be a good steward with my money or I can go out and buy drugs with it. I can righteously judge my neighbor or I can judge them on their outside appearance.
If I meet a woman and she turns out to leave me for another man but could have avoided this future pain if I just would have judged her when I noticed her with a wedding ring on before I got serious with her.
You can't live life without making judgements I never understand people who always bring the judging up obviously they are convicted
Old testament....
Men in womens clothing just aint right.
All sin might be worse or less worse than another in human eyes, but in Gods eyes all sin is the same. The only sin that is unforgivable is blasphemy of the Holy spirit.
Respectfully, I disagree. That's why God has different sacrifices depending upon what sinnyou did. As well as sin is put into categories, for example, there's sin of omission, sin of commission, iniquity, sexual and abomination. Each category has a different sacrifice since they're not all equal. And a final thought, if sin were all equal, that means stealing a pencil from work is the same as raping a newborn baby. And I don't know anyone who believes that.
It's the same in that it sends you to Hell. But Jesus talked about greater and lesser punishment
I'm a believer and I love cliffs videos but I'm very uncomfortable when he starts using hyperbally(not sure if that's the spelling) to justify things in the bible. looking at his body language when he answered that last set of questions it felt as if HE was uncertain or at least that he didn't believe the explanation he was giving.
I think he was trying to explain as most aducate possible
+Dank Lambsta you can't home in on some words as absolute and then others as hyperbelly. I don't think that's fair. Plus that last guy said he had a number of questions. what happened to the rest? I don't think that exchange ended very well.
gamefever101 they didn't show all questions they never do. It doesn't mean he didn't answer them
*hyperbole btw :)
So 4 men wearing dresses, make or define them as women? XX or XY in chromosomes define humans. Notice, they IDENTIFIED as women, not saying they ARE women. I could identify my cat as a dog, but he’s still a cat.
Jesus is here already, I saw him down at the Supermarket, he was buying some bread rolls and a can of sardines.
He must want to feed the multitude again so gather at the lakes shore for a free lunch.
21.00 they were Nephilim,not human.
19:40. The guy does not realise that christians follow the new testament not the old testament. And second of all i am sure he misquoted the text
Majority of everything that’s said in the New Testament is spoken in the Old Testament. Both testaments back each other up. Read your Word
Let me 1v1 in a game of horse!!!
When you don't have the courage of your convictions, go get some of your other effeminate pals and stand silently, holding a sign.
Seriously - people used to be able to stand on their own (without hiding within a group), and articulate a position.
Dude thought he was doing something trying to compare a moral law to a ceremonial one. People are so used to hearing these weak arguments against the Bible, they don’t bother to question whether these arguments are valid or true
I know most churches say that all sin is equal.whatever.But is murder here on earth,the same as shop lifting? WELL ARE LAWS ARE MODELED AFTER THE 10 COMMANDMENTS ,Gods law for man.And it don't matter anyway .If you surrender your life to God Abd Jesus,follow their commands,and because of your new birth,which is to say,an infusion of the Holy Spirit into your spirit that brings you into a new reality,when you realize the old you was just a skin sack of gafbage,garbage, by the power of God you are transformed into a new in Christ,that is to say,His ways become your ways ,what He loves ,you love.what He hates,you hate,you become the opposite of who you used to be,and now you can hear ,Gods voice for instruction,and direction.
I don't think those guys wearing dresses are following their consciences. Theirs is false bravery and pride, yet they are not brave but social cowards, not wanting to be the target of people such as themselves...
No not all sin is equal
What does sin mean to God?
I appreciate the work I see Cliffs doing. However, much of his response to the guy 19:00 minutes in is not Biblically accurate. He is using terms created by Thomas Aquinas. Biblically, there is no category called "moral law." The Bible breaks laws down into laws, commandments, declarations, judgments, statues, etc. He has no good response contextually or linguistically in brushing aside what the Bible actually says.
It seems you have a genuine appreciation for Cliff. I would encourage you to personally Contact him through his ministry and give him your corrections. It would be good for him and for God’s Kingdom.
- Blessings
@@christoffesedao3579 thanks so much.
The Sin thing was created by the Catholic church Jesus didnt mention anything about sin. If we are made by God this all is contradictory to what they say.
Yes Jesus did! Mathew 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies
All of these things are sin
@@Que772 Sin according to the Catholic church was if you dont go to Church on Sunday. If you don't do a confession if you don't give tithes to the Church did Jesus preach this. You yourself said what was sin.
@@lucianolopes4022this is why you should reject Catholicism, they will twist everything and confuse you.
Cliffe, I would encourage you to refer to yourself as a saint and no longer a sinner. It's a lie to continue to call yourself that, usually what you think is where your behavior will go. It is God's truth that you are now a saint.
But we all fall short of the kingdom that’s him being humble coz if he a saint he boasting now look at the environment he preaching at he trying to bring them to the light but humbling himself to a sinner that only Christ is perfect
Acknowledging yourself as a sinner is the only way to accept the grace of God
Cliff, I'm convinced that you don't understand the Bible,
Jesus Christ the Lord says, if you hate your brethren you have murdered in my eyes.
So you're saying Jesus was just talking to hear Himself.. if you lust after a woman, you have committed adultery with her in your heart...
Cliff it's important that you know what you're talking about..
You saying that Jesus never said hate is equal to murder, you are wrong..
We know that nothing we can do to save us, it's only the finished work of Jesus Christ the Lord...
So you wouldn't feel anger towards the killer of your baby?
You would feel happy because according to you there is no hate in your heart..
Then you are not a good person.
@JohnjOcampo of course I would be upset, probably want to kill the person. But that doesn't change what God tells us. I'm just human, I'm not perfect. I'm forgiven for my sins because Jesus Christ took my punishment for me. It's what the Bible says, I'm not making it up.
The world was made through Jesus Christ. You cannot deny his words and live in this world. see www.gotquestions.org
Any relation to John MacArthur?
Jesus did say though" if you Hate youve already commited murder" so that first question might have a different answer from Jesus and the bible
All "sins" are equally BS , the percieved whims of anyone's imaginary friend are irrelevant in any discussion of morality.

Lol sorry dear but transgressions against the perceived whims of YOUR specific subjective invisible God are no more valid or relevant than those of anyone else's specific subjective invisible God. I don't care if your magic book says the wearing of clothing of mixed fabric is immoral or someone else's magic book says its immoral for a female to show their hair in public SO WHAT ??? 🤭😂
Yes if if if the Madd killer had truly repented and ask Jesus to wash him in Jesus blood then all his sin was washed away God cast his sins into the sea of forgetfulness! and all that sin was placed on Jesus at calvary cross! Jesus paid the price! Jesus bleed to death on the Cross and the Wrath of God was placed on Christ for the mass murders sins but the atheist refused such a great offer and trampled over Jesus blood into hell.
Amen
Hi Carl, I'm skeptical of the claim that Jesus *did* die on the cross for all mankind's sin, does that make me a bad person if I genuinely don't believe that story. If I do something wrong, then I wouldn't want someone else paying for something that I'd done, i think it's more honest to accept responsibility for our own mistake's, it's also a good learning curve and makes us into better people.
+bonnie43uk I don't think it makes you evil at all that you don't believe in the fact. But Remember that the Christian God is Love and he doesn't want anyone to walk astray.
Cliffe makes some interesting points, here is one of the problems with Christianity as I see it. To take an extreme example, lets say the guy who drove that truck last week in France and mowed down and killed over 80 innocent civilians, lets say the cops didn't shoot him dead, lets take a scenario whereby he actually drove off and parked up, then it dawned on him the sheer horror of what he'd done, and he *genuinely* prayed to God for forgiveness and for Jesus to accept him as a sinner. As I understand it, if you are genuine, and lets say this guy was, according to Christian scripture, he would go to heaven. Now lets say all those people he killed were all non believers going to an atheist convention, as I understand it, because they all reject Christ ( as i do), they will all be going to an eternal hell. So, the mass killer goes to heaven, and all the atheists go to hell in that scenario, according to Christian scripture. If so, this does seem unfair that the killer gets rewarded, and the atheists get punished. Other scenario's are available.
Well that's not up to us to judge who goes to heaven it's up to God but yes if he honestly and whole heartedly repents then God is merciful and just to forgive him that's why we should be getting right with God before its to late you never know how much time you have left we take each second for granted.
Charles Pollock Yes, I wasn't asking you to judge, but rather that whether the Christian doctrine stated that sinners ( no matter if they'd killed, raped, tortured people), would go to heaven if they *genuinely* repent. That's not something I have a big problem with. It's the other aspect of the scenario I find troubling, that people who have lived a fairly mundane life, lets say these people who were killed were doctors, nurses, teachers, carers, for their unbelief, they get hell in whatever form that takes. As I said, the killer gets rewarded, and the non believers get an eternity of hell, regardless of whether they've devoted their lives to helping others less fortunate than themselves. Nothing you've said has made me think I'[d better get right with God, I cannot force myself to believe in something I see no credible evidence for. Surely it's better to be honest with myself.
+bonnie43uk that's because God has to be consistent with his character i.e his Justice... a lot of people may have lived a genuinely good life but even we've all done wrong and thus we deserve hell... but I thank Christ who showed his grace to me; the worst of all sinners
+bonnie43uk So you have a problem with hell.I can understand that... but here's the point... because we've done wrong,we can't be with God who is all holy... He's doesn't send anyone to hell... He's given us a free will and if we exercise and say"I don't need you God"... he respects your dignity and free will and hell is where you go which is separate from God... the truly inhumane thing would be to force everyone into his presence and over ride our free will... so look to Christ who died for you... because we've done wrong, we need a saviour... That is Jesus Christ...it's your choice... but choices have consequences
Good Luck and God Bless😀
Jeremy Mathews Absolutely i have a problem with hell, being raised a Christian it scared the heck out of me as a little child, and that fear followed me into adulthood. Being told by grown adults that you are going to burn in hell unless you accept God is not a good thing. You say I have a choice, to either accept Jesus as my savior, or to go to hell, well, that comes across as a veiled threat, accept Jesus or you don't even want to consider the consequences if you don't. Surely God would want me to be honest with myself at the end of the day, or would he prefer I lie and say I accept Jesus, when I know deep down inside I don't.
But you seem to missing the bigger picture here Jeremy, it's the sheer concept of any sentient being, having to endure a punishment that has absolutely no end, I cannot think of any human being that would deserve such a punishment, no matter what bad things they had done, you don't even have the dignity of being allowed to die and rest in peace, even after billions of years your sentence will hardly have begun.
Imagine if it was your own mother who lost her faith, and she ended up in hell, how could you as a person enjoy your time in heaven, knowing that she was in some kind of eternal hell?, Ah, you may say to me, in heaven all you know is goodness and love, well, if that is the case, whoever that is in heaven, it's not you. As human beings we all possess empathy and a desire to look after one another. I lost my own mother to cancer 6 months ago, she was a wonderful lady who only enhanced the lives of anyone who met her, unlike my father, she was not religious and she did not accept Jesus as her savior, as I see it now, she is simply resting in peace, to even suggest she is in hell is an abhorrent thought which reviles me. Nobody that has ever lived deserves a punishment that has no end. No matter who they are or what they have done. If God is all loving then how can he create a place in which he knows his creation are suffering?
Abomination to the Lord

ALL SINS ARE NOT EQUAL...
The Bible says sin, not sins as in plural…all sin is the same, equally punishable
All "sin" is equally BS , the percieved whims of your imaginary friend are irrelevant in any discussion of morality.
@10:18 that dude is a true intellectual hypocrite, he acted as if he never judges. When I’m fact all humans judge everyday. You cannot live in the human experience on earth without making judgements. He said there are less which decide what is wrong and judge those evil things, but that doesn’t mean that only the law decides that those things which it judges are evil.
2 different meanings for judge, look in the Bible for the answers to life friend!
