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 could listen to Cliff all day long.
I’ve been binging his videos for days and days

Suckers born every minute
@@csabo1725 true.
First kid is very smart. I truly believe he’s a genuine and humble truth seeker. Someone just needs to help him see the evidence.
What is it to be smart? To be smart does not define intelligence at all. A smart man may have built the Atom bomb but a wise man knows the consequences before it is even built so therefore chooses not to build it. A man that compares human life and the most innocent of humans being a child to a rock as we are all matter and particles should be consider a psychopath. In the head the rock holds the same value of life as a human. Seriously wow
@@gtku6iii you completely obliterated my point out of context. Yes, the kid holds onto a worldview which is utterly foolish and wicked, but watching you could see the concern and doubt of his own worldview in his eyes.
Relax a little.…
Neither of us know where he’s coming from. Could’ve been raised by 2 militant atheists for all we know. I just see the genuineness in his character. Hope he turns to Christ.
@@gtku6iii being smart also does define intelligence. Though, as you hinted at- being smart and wise are two very different things. I called the kid smart. I never called him wise. If you’re in Christ, I’d work on coming across more gracious in your speech too.
@@stephenm8233 Christ was the most direct speaking individual to come to earth. Read how he dealt with those that thought they were smart. What did Jesus say about harming the little ones? Amen anyway and God bless for your quick response.
@@gtku6iii He sure was the most direct speaking person on earth. He utterly condemned those who had a proud heart, BUT He was also gentle with the lowly and humble. Good luck winning anyone to Christ. You can have all the right answers, but if you don’t have love, you are nothing.
You have to speak truth, though if you lack the kind of love/mercy that first draws people in, they will never listen to you.
I just randomly watched this one yesterday. No such thing as coincidences. God you are real. Thank you for blessing me with your Holy Spirit, which leads into all truth

Are you a Christian who believes the scriptures are true ?
I just Love the LORD!!! THANKS FOR THESE VIDEOS!!!!!
This one was great, nice civil back and forth with thoughtful questions and answers with a lack of jackassery.
I am so happy that you shared your TH-cam link on TikTok. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior when I was 16, ( many years ago) and of course, the doubts still creep in. I have to admit, I have never learned so much concerning the history of the Bible, other Religions, atheism, et al… as I have watching your videos. Truly educational.
Another great Christian to watch is Dr. Frank Turek from Cross Examined. Highly recommend his.
Doubts about what? Like am I going to go with God when I die?
Or was Jesus really real?
16 year olds and 2 two year olds are in the same intellectual boat. They should focus on bubble gum and pop music because outside of that they don't have the brain power to understand the complexities of the universe or a superior being. In fact, no human does.
@@csabo1725 ahahahaha what??? my my that is so far from the truth?, at 16 i would say i had more intellectually challenging thoughts and answers relating to philosophy and theism and existentialism then most ADULTS. by the sounds of it you need to take others seriously on their experiences through life not just your own.. bubble gum and pop music? thats the last thing anyone needs if they want to seek truth, and most kids / people do but their ego takes hold and they let themselves get absorbed by the distractions of the world rn e.g tik tok, any form of social media, games, just to name a few of which is the main cause for younger people, and may i add the main cause of the increase in mental illnesses in the last decade is by the help of these distractions, loss of meaning and loss of philosophical groundings lead teenagers to despair. don't tell a 16 year old to focus on meaningless things encourage them don't discourage them.
@@tylerjones3514 Yep, Frank is awesome!
This guy just gets better and better the more I watch him
I love the open dialogue setting in these videos and the gracious environment. I wish more Christians interacted with unbelievers in this way. Great video!

God bless these young men in their search, especially the first one, so close to making a critical, logical step! Cliffe is so right to bring up the "mysterious." There are many, many things/issues of God I will ask "when I get there." Since God's character is established through His Word, even though we don't understand EVERYTHING, there is enough SOMETHING we can make the initial step to ask God into our lives. Once we do, we can understand that ANYTHING might happen in this life. If we don't hear and invite Him in, then we have NOTHING of substance.
However, a life with God is NOT a smooth road of perfection, health and prosperity that false teachers preach.
His ability to discuss is great
It's called selling and it is indeed a skill he has joined over many years. There's a reason he does this to children though.
Jesus is coming
Amen to that, truth.
Rapture is very soon. On May 14th the Jews will have returned to Israel for a total of 80 years. I’m not saying this is 100% at all for that would make me a false profit, but the rapture could take place from anytime this year and even for 1000s of years from now. Truthfully we will never no when our Lord will return, but when he does it will be glorious. Save your families and friends before it is too late, show them the way of the lord if they haven’t found it yet so they too will have everlasting life.

Ahhhh🙉🙉 I didn't even get the notification, I just saw it in my subscriptions LOOK AT GOD 😁😁😁
People can be given all the evidence but still won't believe because the idea of a just God who holds us accountable changes everything. It is not until you take the leap of faith and live by His word that you come to KNOW Him. You will love light and hate the dark, you will hate sin and love righteousness. That is the personal miracle that happens to every true Christian.
Cliffe is so well spoken and his thoughts so clear, he is amazing and I am thankful to our Lord for him.
This man is strong in God's name!
I love watching these videos.
Very refreshing!
Go Cliffe!
Over all, I love this episode. I would love more episodes by cliff or whoever about the same topic in other locations... I would also love respectful and civil dialogue but I feel like nowadays thats asking too much hahaha
i love these videos man
I enjoy this very much. Thanks Cliff
Seeing some people note taking in the back 😁👍🏽

How do you know a true God from a not true God?
What method proves you know?
@@jasonnoble7814 I believe in Jesus Christ always in some way believed in a higher power God made sense when I was younger yet was rebellious stubborn drug addict- for while thought aliens and such- I studied did my research put my faith in Jesus and had miracles worked on me my life when I gave myself to Jesus. It's a personal relationship not a religion.
I believe in Jesus Christ his conception birth life death and when he raised from the tomb and was witnessed by hundreds- his teachings and life and all it stands for- the history of scriptures- prophecy- and so much more that God created everything we know and don't know. I believe in most written history especially that of the Old and New Testament scriptures. Even if some of it is lost or a word missing here or there or translated differently THE WAY TRUTH LIFE that is Jesus Christ the good news the GOSPEL will never be destroyed or corrupted by man.
What do you have faith in?
Also false gods do not have a capital G- seperate them from the true Creator.

Good luck with your false beliefs bud 😬🎉👍🚀
Only started watching this channel today, its so interesting to hear cliffe's point of view, God bless him 🙏🏿
Great conversation!
Yet another great one from Cliffe! I love how humble Both of these students were. I pray that God has continued to work in both of their lives.
Long shot but….Does anyone know the guy in the background wearing a black jacket, grey sweatshirt, blue jeans and black boots, listening intently? I feel like need to know him.
In regard to the second guy in this video, I think he was asking why we should even trust the story that the apostles were facing death for what they proclaimed to be true.
Because true men/ women of God who are speaking of the truth of God will be hated and persecuted even to the point of death sometimes. Throughout the ages.
Nice to see an honest young guy having a genuine discussion. He seems like he has a pretty open mind. I hope he finds Jesus.
God bless you Cliffe 💜🙏
The fact anyone needs evidence for God at all is troubling.
You might go around thinking people are a bag of rocks, but claiming to be moral. You will find as you go along, you start to internalize that. You start living it out. You start treating people like a bag of rocks.
It makes you a psychopath by choice. Few people think others are a bag of rock & don't start acting like it after awhile. Your self talk, starts to become your reality.
What are you implying?
@@John-dd8kh
It isn't an implication, but rather a fact. Constant internal statments manifest in behavior.
Some people are so smart that they don't see what is so simple. All paths lead to God .
THIS is a great one Cliff!!
9:41 that kid has a war going on in his mind and soul for his soul and then the mind. He said, "thats why I want to believe in God" man, Satan knows he is almost gonna lose this kid, because he actually wants to believe in God, no other athiest or skeptic wants to believe in God. If he just humbles himself just a little bit more (because i genuinely think he had to have humbled himself in order to want to believe in God, now he just needs a bit more humility, praise God for that) then all he needs to do is humble himself and follow all the evidence the rest of the way and he will get there. Man if anyone wants to believe in God, then just humble yourself a little bit more and follow the evidence where it leads, dont resist the evidence
That song "Almost Persuaded" comes to mind. Truly hope and pray he comes to the Lord.
This was a great conversation with an intelligent young man. His care of thought toward presenting his ideas far outmatched many of the other students Cliffe has confronted.
I can also appreciate the approach toward an answer which you (Cliffe) engaged in. How do you practice what you preach? It's powerful even if not, for some, entirely persuasive on its face.
I do think, however, that a key addition to this argument might be to highlight the correlation between the groups of atoms we call children and ourselves. The apparent goal of the questioning student is to remove himself furthest from arbitrating morality in order to determine whether there is an actual form behind the ethics and morality standards we practice. He's attempting to isolate the morality construct in a way that de-necessitates his personal involvement so that he can point to it and say, there, it really does exist, in spite of my personal preferences - or no, sadly it does not, in spite of my personal preferences.
However, I do not think he sees the basal flaw in his approach. If the child is just a group of atoms, then so is he. Not only is any pain the child may experience a non-issue, but so is any pain of his own - and it is entirely impossible to come to that conclusion based on the fact that real pain actually exists, and we have real responses to said pain(s).
Pain, as a matter of fact, is an indicator of the intrinsic value of the physical forms we possess, as pain itself is an aide to preservation of those forms. If not for pain, why avoid the gleaming hot iron? Physical pain points us to the need to act in order to relieve the form by distancing it from the cause. And if that is true for the young student's form, then it also true for the hypothetical child in your thought experiment. Brought to scale, we can see that pain is a mundane experience, that is to say, it is commonplace and normative to the human experience, and general responses to pain are likewise similar. We do not, generally speaking, seek out pain, but rather practice avoidance - and in so doing we silently and perhaps without noticing assent to the idea of innate human value.
Innate human value does exist, and it is briefly comprehended in the saying, "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." - Matt. 7:12a
There doesn't appear to me to be any further need to explore the concept of innate human value than that our practical experience demands we avoid pain, especially as dispensers, as that which we dispense to others we ourselves would not kindly appreciate.
Therefore, if pain, and if pain should be avoided, God.
I absolutely love Cliffes power stance when he hunkers waaaay down and sticks his hands on his knees. Then he draws dramatically back and wraps his arms crossed around his chest. Hmmmm….okaaaay. GOOD! Very, very good.
Love this guy! I wish he were my dad. Or my pastor. Or my professor.
Time had a beginning
This is a good way to reach out to people instead of just shouting out Scripture to deaf ears,even thou the students are doubtful and unbelieving.the seeds are planted.
The scene of the first kid, that whole conversation...I know the seed was planted, there are certain times when I doubt any seeds were planted because of the reaction people give to any kind if argument for a certain thing, so its not obvious, although I just take it upon faith that something was planted whether its multiple seeds or just one tiny one.
But with the first kid, man it was obvious that there were some false destructive seeds that were being plucked out and then the good seeds were being planted in its place, it was super obvious with the first kid
I do believe that evolution is the origin of life but not the one described by the shallow observation of physical process. True evolution reaches for what is truly better and is defined by the love of God, the evolution of love, spirit, and character. I hope more of us look to using the true pure meaning of our evolution instead of one that has the sandy foundation perceived as nothing and purposeless.
it sounds to me as if you don't believe in evolution as most people would view it... What do you mean by true evolution boltrooktwo?, are you talking about the process by which living creatures diversify and that is generally accepted by science? Which proponents of evolution do you agree with .. Darwin? Dawkins? Jerry Coyne? Stephen Jay Gould?
I believe in the greatest and most truthful proponent of human evolution Jesus Christ. We begin as children and evolve and change over our lives, we certainly don’t just stay the same, nor has human civilization stayed the same, we exercise free will to evolve. Every philosophy of determinism reduces and negatively impacts human behavior while delayed gratification, righteous sacrifice, and the exercise of free will toward principles revealed by the teachings of Jesus Christ evolve people and positively impacts human behavior.
@@boltrooktwo Jesus was a proponent of evolution? Again, i don't think we're talking about the same thing here, but hey ho. Yes, absolutely, we all change throughout our lives, I'm certainly not the same person I was 30 years ago, or even 10 years ago, ..I'll be 63 in 2 days time. (how old are you btw boltrook?, you certainly don't come across as a young person i have to say) , as we get older our perspective on many aspects of life changes. I dare say I still have a few years left in me to adjust some of my thoughts as new evidence presents itself to me.
One of the reasons I like this channel and the conversations that Cliffe has with the students, and the chats I have with people such as yourself, is to challenge my own beliefs about reality as i see it... I'm constantly asking for credible evidence of the supernatural, for well over a decade now I've been asking and asking, and nothing of significance is forthcoming.. I would absolutely love to see someone with an incurable illness being magically healed to the point whereby Dr's and medical experts are totally baffled ..and that person ... as i said, someone with a severe ailment like severe cerebral palsy being healed by prayer or laying on of hands, and they become 100% healed and able to run and jump around... that would be absolutely incredible.. and it would almost certainly make me have to seriously reconsider Christianity.
Surely, if God is real, and devout Christians who are either suffering with something that is life-crippling, and causing them extreme pain, or the family of that person, if they earnestly pray with every morsel of their body and soul to be healed, surely God would hear that plea ( if he existed), and heal that person. What good reason would he have to ignore them? Yet, he will heal someone with a bad back in a shopping mall. Can you see that, for a skeptic, it's only giving me more ammunition to back up my own thoughts that he doesn't exist in any real meaningful sense.
I am a little over 40. The psychologist Jordan Peterson opened me up to the idea of the significance of Adam and Eve discovering they were naked after they had disobeyed God. They realized without God they were vulnerable and when you realize you are vulnerable you know that everyone else is too. Evil stems from the idea that vulnerability can be exploited and others harmed or controlled from your actions. Good is building safety, providing for needs, being a conduit to give life to more beings, and helping against forces of harm or decline. Without vulnerability there would be no opportunity for good or evil and thus your significance to other beings would be very low as you couldn’t help or harm them, no-one would be vulnerable for it to matter. Sickness, disease, and injury aren’t all eliminated because we are apart from God and they are an integral part of the system which allows a free will being the ability to act towards others with significance and meaning. God intercedes when great trust is put in Him and to spur beings to act with free will good towards other vulnerable beings, along with humility and justification given to God as creator of all life, everything that moves, and that has a being.
Watch the video: "Jordan Peterson - Winston Churchill predicted the Death of our Civilization" If you have some time. I believe it gives great insight on human psychology and the need for God.
Amen, Bro.Clive ! I am from the far east, W. Malaysia.
Keep up the good work.
Great talk yet again...!!
Thank you!
Im sure i have differences in doctrine with this Pastor but love his approach and how he has brought these discussions to the Lost
Brilliant
Wow this was sooo good
Time proves a timeless creator. Because time must have beginning there has to be something outside time that caused it.
I love this man, very common sense Christian. I also like how he don't put down other Christians.
This dude is awesome😎 helped me learn alot!
Sometimes I think that evil is winning but at the end of the day God is the mighty Alpha & Omega! Its amazing yet simple to be a follower in Jesus Christ.
The listeners are respectful and the discussion too good
Yes my brother if we are not humble like a child coming to God then your too proud
The guy says there are no moral absolutes. I wish Cliffe asked him, "Are you absolutely sure?"
The simplicity of the cosmos is a complexity because it would be actually simple if it were chaotic.
Hallelujah!
I like the end of it, and it is so truth, whatever your claim is you going to die by it. It also stated that in the Bible Scriptures, if you live by the sword you also die by the sword. A.k.a the meaning of that!. Whatever you live by we also would & gonna die by it. So whatever if it is a so called a lie or truth, people with common sense wouldn't die by a lie just to hurt themselves. Their would try to benefits themselves with a so called lie and die worthy are wealthy. well in this case unworthy because it would be a lie and not The Truth at all. That's why I'd personal choice & belief I'll rather live by it and in Truth, instead of any lie's.
Plus the trust itself is throw out the window if people lies alot , hell even one time lie how the hell and why we should be friends with an liar in the first place? It doesn't make any sense whatsoever!
Again there is no Trust nor any Truth a.k.a facts about any lie's, So the response of that person or between of people,, there cant be any respect for one & another, no honour are any loyalty there's no point Living in a lie.
This kids shows he is not willing to accept anything. He ends every thought with IDK. He trying to work it out but sways like a tree in the wind but cannot accept that it’s the wind causing the motion.
I've found that if I ask God and I wait for him he well answer my question, he will answer my question.
Even simplicity of the things are not coming from the accidents! The only things produce of accidents are resulting brokeness and damages! It's better to build a comfort rooms rather than expecting good thing from the accidents! Or it is better to reconstruct the damage houses by fire than to believe a good things are from accidents! I can't believe that accident resulting well organized, well prepared more wonderful made creation!
Another interesting question I've always wanted to know preoples answer to is... "OK we know what you think is truth in relation to Creation or evolution but which one would you actually prefer to be true?" I've heard a lot of people say "evolution of course" because they're not interested in what God can do for them or their family or the whole world for that matter. They just want a non-accountable existance without God, die and that's it. Couldn't care less about how amazing God's kingdom would be for everyone who wants to be a part of it. Just complete and utter ignorance.

Using terminology like "the overwhelming historical" is meaningless without that information that makes it overwhelming
This is just special pleading combined with the watchmakers argument. I wish religious people would come up with a new argument.
Jesus rose from the dead so we can trust His teaching. Blessings
That kid is begging for a reason to believe.
One of the questions I always ask my self is that if there was a Big Bang, then there must be a creator like God to begin it. This I agree with but the one question that puzzles me is, then who would have made God? And then you just gotta ask who made that thing and so on. I guess I just can’t understand where it all begins and how we can say God began everything since everything must have a creation
I'm trying not to be on here for reasons I won't get into but your question seems so sincere I wish to answer. It is a very good question, you're not wrong in your humanistic thinking, but God is all-knowing all-powerful ETC is a supernatural being Supernatural meaning out of nature or away from nature is outer space and time using fast in charge of space time and matter so therefore he's not natural he Supernatural God is eternal has always been he could not have a beginning but he's in charge of all that Gus have a beginning it's hard to wrap your mind around but it's true and it just takes Faith because theoretically I can't prove it to you though whether many ways I can show you the evidence but other people can't prove Evolution either macro-evolution it'll I not micro macro-evolution is A lie.
@@godislove363 yeah I agree with you. Honestly I was actually thinking a lot about this today and I could only come to the conclusion that the thought of everything must have a creation is a belief enforced by the laws of earth. While this belief may apply on earth is does not hold up in the universe, and someone as divine and powerful as God most certainly is not restricted by the laws of earth. This is where I believe faith to come in. I feel like faith is such a powerful and immense though that it violates the laws of earth. Having faith, I have come to the conclusion today that, it’s a powerful idea which is beyond everything else, especially human reason and is the only way to connect to God
@@alexanderquiroz3041 that is correct and is only through that faith that I have been only saved but my life has been saved several times aside from that and everyday my life which is very stressful and very hard is strengthens greatly through him and only through him otherwise I wouldn't be typing to you now.
You cannot really reach a sensible conclusion to this question using human logic. Jesus rose from the dead so we accept His teaching. A lot of it is unreasonable, humanly speaking. The Blessed Trinity, eternal life or eternal condemnation, the virgin birth etc. Christian teaching is revealed truth and can only be believed because of the resurrection. Faith in Jesus is needed to accept the idea of a God eternally existing outside space and time. Blessings
They wouldn’t have lied if they didn’t see Jesus rise from the dead. St. Peter even demanded he be crucified upside down because he felt unworthy to die the same manner as Christ. These people suffered!
@#askcliff, how do you start these conversations?
Recently watched the debate versus atheists and how they tried to quantify live as chemicals and hormones and I don’t think their mind will change about that. I’ve heard that argument before and reject it but my response now is how do you quantify hope? Hope is a belief in others or the world or the universe that something will make it better it’s faith and you can’t quantify that or say that is chemicals or hormones. God Bless
Cliff's excuse is that if there is not a creator then the universe must have started by accident.
This is not so...even today everything occurs when conditions are right: tornados occur when conditions are right, lightning happens when conditions are right, tsunamis happen when conditions are right.
Some things, come into existence and peter out as soon as they are born, and some things, take hold and have their being for a time.
This holds true for all the universe as well.
@Gameboy538
Take a positive end of a magnet and a negative end of a magnet and draw them closer together right before the two slam together and you have energy. Did your God cause that.?
@Gameboy538
God, is but the gigantic shadow of man, and not of man at his best, either. The God of theology is a bundle of contradictions and a logical impossibility.
This God is called infinite and absolute. Then, if infinite {limitless} and especially if absolute, how can he have a form, and be a creator of anything.?
Form implies limitation, and a beginning as well as an end; and, in order to create, a being must think and plan. How can the absolute be supposed to think, to have any relation whatever to that which is limited, finite, and conditioned.? This is a philosophical and logical absurdity. Even the ancient Hebrews rejected such an idea, and therefore, makes of the one and the Absolute Deific Principal an infinite Unity called Ain-Soph.
In order to create, the creator has to become active; and as this is impossible for absoluteness, the infinite principle has to be shown becoming the cause of evolution {not creation} in an indirect way, through the emanation from itself {another absurdity}.
By your own absurd admission you say that God is outside of space, time, and matter and if this be so; then, he is powerless to create matter. Like is known unto like: matter creates matter and spirit creates spirit. Matter does not create spirit, just as spirit, does not create matter. I can prove to you this rule holds true; hence; humans create humans, animals create animals, mammals create mammals, plants create plants, and matter creates matter.
Now...prove to me your Spirit God created matter.
The only answers I've gotten from you are "God did it because." You are giving me a nonsensical circular argument which is pathetic at best.
Electromagnetism is matter you idiot. Just like electricity is matter and we know this because we can feel, see, and hear, the effects of it just as we can feel, see, and hear the effects of electromagnetism.
I have yet to feel, see, or hear, the effects of your so called Creator that would even convince me he is real; and we have your own admission, stating he isn't real.
@Gameboy538
Once again...you haven't given me anything but a circular argument, minus, concrete anything. You're whole reply to me was nothing more then a bundle of opinions.
If I build a computer it is because I am a material person building a material component. Prove to me that spirit can create matter, and matter, can create spirit.
I've already proven to you that matter creates matter. I've also proven that the words I Am That I Am is a Hebrew anagram meaning "I Am God, That, I Am Man."
You're the one who said God is not a part of space, time, and matter; and now, you want to have it both ways and claim he is a part of space, time, and matter; cause, he can take any material form he wants and be a part of his people cause you can feel his love now.? According to you: God is not a part of space, time, and matter, when it suits you; but, on the other hand, God is a part of space, time, and matter, when it is also convenient for you.
You don't get the luxury to sit there and lie at every turn you make.
@@thevulture5750
Are you people Chatty-Cathy dolls with strings; that, just repeat every nonsensical thing you hear.?
You made absolutely no sense. According to your Bible; God, is the Alpha and Omega, first and last, birth and death, beginning and end, good and evil, male and female, matter and spirit. In Greek, that's what Alpha and Omega mean. So, if your god is the beginning and the end; that means, he is limited and you are a liar.
@@jackalsgate1146 no, wrong context, God is Supernatural, He is outside of and in charge of Time, Space, and Matter. But we as A people can not fathom the true greatness of this, but The Alpha and The Omega represents Our Himan beginning and ending as He gives us life and purpose and are under the Umbrella of time. One day the human/earthly end will come and we will be immortal and forever be as God is, hence why The Alpha and The Omega. God's Word mor Himsrlf is not a liar. I hope this helps.
Another soldier for the deluded army
The problem is that people take a mystery,....perhaps even something that may be incomprehensible,...and create an even bigger mystery by submitting "something outside the universes that always existed and didn't need to be created".
Lol, the universe is simply one part of the Cosmos, which has always existed and always will.
That is the problem with some on this page,when some speak their mind and think outside of the box like the young man in the video,others get mad and are like " how dare you do not believe in my version of God or worship my version of the creator you must be less intelligent dumb or just stupid how dare you have a different view or belief then me' and that is what drives certain people away and not even want to have a discussion at all,I mean treat others how you want to be treated,I may be wrong,but that is the feeling I get when I look at some of the comments on this page and another thing is some people do not ask questions and just take what they are spoon fed and are like " ok that is true because he said it or she said it" and take someone's word for it and as for me,I ask questions about everything and I think outside of the box,I do not a let a religion tell me how to think,how to believe,I know who I am as a person as I find out more about myself every day,night,evening.
I'd rather be "unlearned" and deficient of worldly knowledge than be the the smartest blind genius who ever lived
Time is a human construct home skillet
Same here
Dispite cliffs attempt to poison the well with The specific words he chooses to use for the singularity, expanding into the orientation of the universe we see it as today, It's still far and away more plausible than a character from a book speaking everything into existence, and more plausible than any other religious creation myth for that matter.
Einstein admitted in his writings that something beyond the universe must exist. But he was more of a deist than a theist.
One person may lie for reasons only known to themselve. An entire body of believers who were warned by Jesus that they would be persecuted and killed and then decide to lie is unthinkable. Makes no sense unless what they believed wasn't a lie.
"If the dead are not raised up, let us eat and drink for tomorrow we are to die." - 1 Corinthians 15:32
Wish cliff would talk about the Chinese records of man from heaven dies
Mathew chapter 6. Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them. Otherwise ye have no reward of your father which is in heaven.
11:50 there are no athiests who can live it out consistently when they come to the same conclusion as this kid.
Thats why in order to live it out, they come to different conclusions on their athiesm and also borrow from the thiest worldview to justify it as well.
Hey I just found these videos and was wondering if they were all filmed a long time ago since nobody is wearing masks. Like were these all from a while back?
Yes, at his websites, you will see many older bids and this is a re-upload..
@@godislove363 oh okay thanks, does he still do this series or are they all older?
@@krabbble he has done a few introspective videos and a few debates by zoom/youtube. I believe once the Universities allow reg access after vovid, then he or his son Stewart will produce more.
Romans 1:18-21
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
4:36 Time obviously exists. It's the passing from moment to moment. If there wasn't time, then nothing could happen. Perhaps certain areas or subjects could be 'locked' in time while it carries on around them, but the word 'time' was made by us to refer to a concept formed by what we experience and therefore know to exist as a phenomenon.
He was referring to time not existing before the Big Bang, and how time and other laws of physics break down within a singularity.
I know. Even before the big bang, time was passing because there was movement from one moment to another. Maybe time isn’t what we believe it to be, but by our definition, it always was or it never would have been - just like existence.
@@somerandom7672 no, before the creation of the universe by God, time didn’t exist..it’s a human concept given to us by God.
Amen, we cant make prenuptial agreements with God. Trust Christ for your eternal salvation and you'll be able to understand His word the Bible through His Holy Spirit.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4
Is it just me or does all his videos have a 2005 vibe. look at the video quality, the clothing the students are wearing and how they're conducting themselves.
Does he still do these? This video must be 20 years old.
🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏
27:10 man I thought this kid was listening, you can see that he may not be, because he still wants an answer for a question that he already got an answer for.
You have an imaginary friend, that’s nice.
I really like this guy he was so close to accepting Jesus. (However I’m typing this before the video is over so idk if he accepts Jesus or something)
I don't need evidence to prove their ia God I need you to prove their isn't a God my lord is true as he told me so bless those who believe and pray for those who dont
This is a very smart man. That's the thing.. atheist think it's an intellectual problem... It's not... It's a sin problem... We are all brilliant siner or brilliant fools.
They have seen no ghosts
Are there any moral absolutes?
Atheist: Not necessarily.
Are you absolutely sure?
Is this recorded in early 2000s cause this doesn't look like 2021
