Recorded in Manhattan - June 2023.
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.

"Before Abraham was, I AM." Lord Jesus Christ.
@@Theo_Skeptomai Jesus Christ lived and continues to live a perfect life without sin. Yes, this is a factual statement.
@@Theo_Skeptomaiwell, the Gospels are evidence enough that Jesus lived a sinless life.
Jesus has NEVER lied and everything he said happened such as his death and resurrection...He always spoke The TRUTH....and what he said which has not yet come to pass will happen. Praise Our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 ✝️
If he won't, I will. Fire away.
Also, what would YOU count as evidence for anything in ancient history?
No. It's an obviously ridicuous claim that a man can be G-d.
This came at a great time! I’m in the office, having to close my business, and you guys always bring a smile to my heart. Thanks for doing what y’all do.
Same, love these
FACTS. Cliffe Knechtle in New York City is awesome 😎. Y
We may not live tomorrow or the rest of this day so live your Life in Truth. Love my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ 🙏👊❤️. Many religious beliefs can be similar not the exact same based on culture and location 💯. Agnostics don't really make a decision about God's Existence because it doesn't matter to them just like apatheists. I miss the good Old Days of common sense, rational discourse, sanity and clarity when people could have good conversations. AMEN brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless brother Stuart and Cliffe Knechtle's Apologetics ministry even though Cliffe's getting older but he held his own pretty well explaining Christianity and theism to these people. It's obviously not the burden of proof for believers but God Himself to meet the burden of proof which He has for us Christian theists despite what Atheists claim are just unsupported claims. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " On The Origin of Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology but I accept micro Evolution such as speciation and adaptation because there's no evidence of macro Evolutionary biology nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
Grace Grace to you ❤
May God bless you in whatever business you venture into, next!
May God open the doors that need to be open and close the ones that need to be closed
That's amazing how someone who has another source of faith is willing to try and understand, or even believe, in Christ. May God bless you guys in your faith!
Hey everyone, keep me in your prayers as I start a new job outside my trade at my company. I need God’s guidance
I wish we had a Grace Community Church near me. Since we don't, I try to watch as much Cliffe as I can in order to get a better understanding of the Lord.
Watching his vids inform me more on how to grow more knowledge of Christ
The Lord is my refuge
I can't wait for heaven, tired of this crude, evil heartbreaking world. Can't wait for Jesus to wipe my tears away. Tired of my sickness, my body, betrayal of others. I belong to jesus
Heaven? Scripture teaches that believers inherit the earth.
@@cc3775 Yes. The New Jerusalem, where the earth is remade and Heaven, like a city expanding its city limits, extends to incorporate the redeemed earth into it.
@@davidplummer2473 the people, the body of messiah is new Jerusalem.
Hurtn:
Hang in there and finish the race. Every day is a new day- focus on doing all your best that day. Know that you are loved.
I love hearing testimonies like Michael’s (although every testimony is precious). It’s just those who really reach the depths of human depravity, you can really see how the Lord has worked in their lives. May the Lord bless you, and keep you, and may His face shine upon you both.
Good evening, Mr. Cliffe,
I wanted to say that I found one of your videos online just tonight. I’m 36, a father of three, and a son of a father who chose selfishness and to be completely absent while being present. I was recently disowned by my parents for lovingly bringing their departure from Christ to light.
Seeing your videos encourages me greatly. I am so grateful that you are a kind, logical human being that can have open, honest, intellectual dialogue with fellow human beings in a respectful manner. It blows my mind that this is not the norm.
Seeing you, I see an example of what I wish I could be, the goodness that I desire to teach my own children - a model of fatherhood that I want to share with them: a simple man, loving God, loving others, engaging with others in respectful, kind, courteous dialog and sharing the message of Christ.
Thank you so much for doing this.
I’d love to drive up from Florida for a coffee one day.
Keep respecting your parents with all due deference. This is pleasing to God.
Great questions!!! Cliffe I really appreciate the way you address the crowd. You are respectful, honest, true and you speak clearly with love. Thank you Mike for your testimony. May God bless your path❤
As a Catholic I love listening to how he explains. So good!
I'm a Catholic too and I have been watching his videos for more than 7 years now.
Respectfully, RCC is anti-biblical: Perpetual virgin Mary, Saved by Works/not faith, pope as "another Christ"/alter Christus, modifying commandments, acceptance of worldly influence, etc.
May the triune, infallible, omniscient God bless you with faith in Him, not fallible man’s limited knowledge.
I couldn't agree more.
same😊
“as a catholic”
you sound like a atheist
nobody wants to know to worship a fake man made religion
One of the best episodes!
I absolutely LOVE your teachings ❤ thank you and God Bless🙏
This is always fresh! God bless your family and Ministry 🙏❤️
I love how respectful and open these people are. Not one of em were there to just blow smoke. They see a very intelligent man speaking and they are genuinely seeking answers.
Would LOVE to meet you Cliffe! Keep up the work of the Kingdom!
I can watch Cliff's videos all day lol
Thanks Cliffe for the wisdom u shared❤
God bless you brother 🙏🏻
These videos always blow my mind, you’re such an amazing street preacher. I would love to hear your passion for God in person.
Read my post before. Cliffe is wrong about heaven. This world will not be remembered as we will be new creatures and this earth will be forgotten and loved ones will not be recognized! Imagine the pain and sorrow in heaven realizing your mom or dad or son or wife went to hell? 😢😢
I always wonder what if my love one don’t make it to heaven will we remember them? Won’t we be sad or depressed? Some questions can’t be answered until the day comes
@@ericrodriguez2669 That's why I posted that Cliffe e misleading people with false messages.. This world will not be remembered in heaven
Love Cliff’s videos. So knowledgeable
I’m watching from New Zealand I hope you make it here some day. Love your talks thank you ✝️
God bless you ald please continue... keep preaching the gospel. We need it!!!!!
I’m so glad I come across these videos, they are really interesting. I am a Believer in Jesus , I have 4 older kids 3 who believe and 1 did/ but don’t, I will be sharing these videos with her and pray she will find the answers she needs. I continue to pray she will find her way back to Jesus.
I would try to introduce her to this cliffe channel because he has a great way of answering questions. It could help plant a seed in her and handle any objections she might have. God bless 👍🙏
Pastor Cliff I’ve been watching you since I believe the 90’s. Someone was nice enough to play your videos on “Austin Public Access”. I’ve always admired your courage to stand in front of the many disagreeable. We don’t believe the same but it’s good to see you again.
What is it Joe that isn’t the same as what Cliffe believes? Just curious
Keep up the good work ❤
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL ❤🤗
God bless this Man
Amen ❤

Who made him lord?
I love Cliff being in NY...come to LA.
Cliffe Rocks!
Job 40-41. if those two aren't dinosaurs, I don't know what they are. Behemoth is definitely a sauropod!
Dinosaur was a word invented in 1840 before then they were known as behemoths and dragons
Muslims always ask: “Where does he say ‘I am God worship me’”? Show them this:
13 “You call me ‘Teacher (Rabbi)’ and ‘Lord(God),’ and rightly so, for that is what I AM. 14 Now that I, your Lord (God) and Teacher (Rabbi), have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. (JOHN 13:13-14)
…End of discussion.
and many more....
The Muslim will demand the exact, verbatim words. They know Jesus didn't string those exact words together and try to catch you with this "exact words" criterion. This video explains how to deal with it: th-cam.com/video/sS-lLTfCI7c/w-d-xo.html
@@robmc120 many more verses? Yes. Unfortunately, they expect the language to be in modern society when- clearly- people didn’t speak that way 2000 years ago.
Sadly, this won't be enough. Muslims says the Bible has been corrupted over the centuries, and therefore they can reject this passage along with anything else that they find problematic. They will say later Christians added it in.
.
Truly, the best thing to do is ask them to take a course of Biblical historicity. We have manuscripts, some of which date back to the 1st Century, that show what the original books used to make up the Bible said, and over 5,100 manuscripts that can be used today to recreate the entire Bible from scratch to within an infinitesimal degree of variation against most of the translations we have today. Thus, the reliability of the original books of the Bible as they were written is undoubted even among atheist scholars who don't believe what it says. This soundly rejects that argument from Muslims that the Bible is corrupt.
People with no arguments and no evidence regurgitate verses from ancient holy books
Please mr. Cliff go on ❤😊
Praise God and show respect for him. !
Notice how the people in Manhattan NY are much more civilized and respectful than the college students he talks to in his usual videos? Quite ironic
The Koran confirmed the gospels that were with them during the time of Muhammad. Surah 10 v 94 among others. Muhammad is told that if he has doubts in what was revealed to
him to ask the Jews and Christians who read the scriptures before him.

But the bible does speak of bohemoth, who's tail is like a Cedar tree. Know of any animals with a tail like that? 🦕 who's belly makes the waters break the shores.
@@Theo_Skeptomai well, the story of Jonah was clearly not written as a fairy tale
@@Theo_Skeptomai No, I believe it in light of the fact that I believe in the Bible. If I didn’t believe there was a God, the vast majority of the Bible would be ridiculous. If i believe that Jesus is God, it isn’t weird that he would be able to walk on water.
@@Kay_OCyou can still believe in God and think the Bible is ridiculous
Even in islam Jesus was sinless, he didnt die, performed miracles and will come back to judge. Sounds like more than a prophet if you ask me.
Historical evidence shows that Jesus died on a cross. The Koran is wrong about the dead of Jesus.
@@Theo_Skeptomai Lol, every credible historian knows Jesus existed:
Of course the doubt as to whether Jesus really existed is unfounded and not worth refutation. No sane person can doubt that Jesus stands as founder behind the historical movement whose first distinct stage is represented by the oldest Palestinian community. (Rudolf Bultmann, Jesus and the Word (London: Collins/Fontana, 1958), p. 13.
To doubt the historical existence of Jesus at all … was reserved for an unrestrained, tendentious criticism of modern times into which it is not worthwhile to enter here. (Günther Bornkamm, Jesus of Nazareth, Translated by I. and F. McLuskey with J. M. Robinson (New York, NY: Harper and Row, 1960), p. 28.
I am of the opinion (and it is an opinion shared by every serious historian) that the theory [“that Jesus never lived, that he was a purely mythical figure”] is historically untenable. (Willi Marxsen, The Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth (Philadelphia, PA: Fortress, 1970), p. 119.
To sum up, modern critical methods fail to support the Christ-myth theory. It has “again and again been answered and annihilated by first-rank scholars.” In recent years “no serious scholar has ventured to postulate the non-historicity of Jesus”-or at any rate very few, and they have not succeeded in disposing of the much stronger, indeed very abundant, evidence to the contrary. (Michael Grant, Jesus: An Historian’s Review of the Gospels (New York, NY: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1977), p. 200.
Contemporary New Testament scholars have typically viewed their [i.e., Jesus mythers] arguments as so weak or bizarre that they relegate them to footnotes, or often ignore them completely. (Robert Van Voorst, Jesus Outside the New Testament: An Introduction to the Ancient Evidence (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 2000), p. 16
The total evidence is so overpowering, so absolute that only the shallowest of intellects would dare to deny Jesus’ existence. (Paul L. Maier, “Did Jesus Really Exist?”
All prophets are sinless in Islam; so is Mary, and so are the angels. And while Jesus has yet to die, he will eventually die like any other man. When Jesus returns to earth, he will govern by the sharia, not his only standards. Lastly, he will not, as you would believe as a Christian, have any independent authority on judgement day.
I fail to see how any of these facts make Jesus "more than a prophet."
Because the late Queen of England never complained but always spoke pleasantly in the sea of her difficulties, she became greatly revered for wearing this hallmark of greatness. She had her tongue under control. She ruled herself.
20:00 - Yep, in the beginning is when God created. And if we accept that and add up the genealogies... Also, the Bible is NOT silent on the issue of dinosaurs...
stupid boice recorder, we have waljed the earth 6000 years, with the dinosaurs.

@@Theo_Skeptomai Are you aware of any objective foundation (Transcendent of your subjective, fallible worldview) that substantiates a godless universe?
I pray the only triune God of the:
1)supernaturally prophetic fulfilled in reality (Romans 1:26-32/2 Timothy 4:3/Matthew 24:6/1 Corinthians 1:18)
2)historically verified (archaeologically & anthropologically by Christians & non-Christians w/enemy/early/multiple attestation, internal consistency, embarrassing reports, etc.)

Yes. It is consistent with ALL that we do know, experience, and observe regarding things of the nature of what we discover in nature. Your faith is not. Simple.

Yeah, another thread where not everything is showing up. Cliffe's channel seems to be one of the worst for comments getting ghosted-but it might just seem that way because it is the channel where I know the most folks and expand the most threads on. The number rarely matches the amount of comments I see. More evidence that random changes in code don't improve things? 🤔😅
How many lies have you told in your life?
Have you ever taken anything that didn't belong to you?
Have you ever used God's holy name to curse, would you do that with your mother's name?
How many times have you gazed with lustful intent at someone or entertained lustful desire towards them?
Jesus offers mercy to those who will acknowledge their need for it.
The alternative is taking our just punishment. Hell.
God is perfectly and unapproachably holy and he will not allow the smallest selfishness into his kingdom.
He could have discarded us for our rebellion against him. Instead, he took Upon himself the consequences for our selfish choices.
Most people have heard that Jesus died on the cross. But he didn't die for any random reason he died to take the punishment upon him. The punishment that we deserved for bringing selfishness into God's perfect environment. God is going to win, he is going to get rid of selfishness out of his world. You can either be on his side and let him cleanse you and fix you or you can be against him and you can be removed... *permanently.*
How many selfish things have you done?
Does God have reasons to punish you?
When you have good evidence for that let me know 👍

When you have any empirical science that so much as suggests that your own worldview is even possible, you let us know. Then we can talk about why you believe that some things are in fact wrong when, given your own worldview (and according to one of atheism's most recognizable preachers) there is no such thing as right or wrong... And after that we can talk about why you trust your own brain that came to exist by accident and believe that there is an objective standard for reasoning. After that... Blind faith is all you've got, buddy. As for all of the historical, archaeological, prophetic, scientific, and even your own personal experience that comports with the Bible... Well, we've been over all of that before. But sadly... (See Proverbs 1:22, 17:16, 18:2, 26:12, 29:9, etc.)

Cliff mentioned Heaven but no New Heaven or no New Earth, Revelation 21:1 says the First Heaven and the First Earth passed away.
The more I read the Bible the less I believe in Biblical “scholars”. The Bible was not written for scholars but for regular ppl, therefore I think this lowly position allows us to understand the Bible better than people who claim to be scholars. Read the Bible for yourself and praise God for what He reveals to you. ❤
*Actually Amos **8:11** has been fulfilled and no bible in the world is still Holy. The ONLY places on Earth where God's true words can still be found without Satan's words mixed in are the videos documenting what was written a few years ago and PDF lists of changes that have been found.*
Amen, Amen, Amen, Praise God, that is a good example of Wisdom from God!
@@Theo_Skeptomai of course. There was a time when I questioned everything in the Bible. “Let Us make man in our image”. I remember reading that and closing it and not picking up the Bible for 7 years after that.
One of the main things God revealed to me is that His words are true and to trust in Him and lean not on my own understanding. Not all the fasting, all the near death experiences and diving depths in the ocean, not the library of philosophy that I read to get around believing that I need an intercesor between me and God. I’m coming from a point of trying everything but harming others and myself.

Our main functionality in this life is to gratefully love God and be available to be His servants, along with living this earthly existence as best as we can, in a way that brings honour to God.
God’s purpose for our life and His reason for creating us, is so that He may obtain the joy and satisfaction from giving us the wondrous life we are yet to receive.
And this is the unknown life which we have no conception of, except we do know it is a life that never ends. It is life eternal which Jesus said was Everlasting life.
1 Corinthians 2:9
King James Version.
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Who is there amongst us who has a life that is never worthy of some complaint? But he who never complains will find he can tolerate his life more than he who complains. Jesus went to the cross without complaint. But if He complained, how much harder it would have been for our loving Saviour.
He who loses lust also loses the slouch. His deportment obtains a new bearing. The straightness of his life has him standing straight.
Amen I love the guys testimony God loves us so much we all are sinners but trying to not do sins and living the way Jesus told us to live we are saved. All the evidence I see and read in the Bible I have to believe in Jesus and the mighty God thank you Jesus for everything thanks Cliff you the man and a real smart man God will reward you in Heaven
Have you ever lied, stolen, used God's name in vain, looked wuth lust? if so you need to repent today and Believe in Jesus Christ to save you from Hell and go to heaven instead
I have and I repent every day and ask for forgiveness Jesus said he the only way to the Kingdom of Heaven. We all sin but I always pray I can do better and turn from the sins I do commit I pray you do the same love my neighbors to I have come so far on that to God is good Amen
Imagine if we all would start loving everyone we would be so strong together and I pray that everyday. I love yal all and pray Jesus Christ would touch y'all like he did me he healed my stomach few months ago and it was hurting me so bad I was so scared and I gave my life to Jesus and next day I promise he healed me so amazing 🙏 Jesus is so amazing. I just learned to start talking to our gift from Jesus our Holy Spirit and man he's been working through me helping others having more respect for others even when they do cross the line and Jesus has brought my kids closer to me really everything I have been praying for he's been blessing me. The Father is coming soon
Thanks for helping me means so much 🙏
Wow! no scoffers while you preach. How do you do that?
BTW You got wisdom answering those questions
Mike my brother ❤
But that dude followed faithfully a prophet who live a very sinful life, a murderer, blasphemous, claiming receiving God's word thru an angel without an eyewitness and even married a child.
May Jesus bless and lead all our journeys to our real God. ✝️🙏✌
I agree brother if the text is silent we should be as well. But let me say this if we add up ages and the years the scripture gives us from Genesis to Christ we do get about 4000 years and we are about 2000 years after Christ. No we do not have exact number but we are in the ballpark. Also, the Bible does describe creatures that we would nowadays call dinosaurs such as behemoth. the description of the behemoth would best describe some sort of brachiosaurus that is the only thing that we know of that would fit the description.
"How can a being with sight not see what's in front of them? I don't think any being with eyes could possibly close their eyes, especially on purpose." Is the equivalent of saying God couldn't chose to become a man.
Guys go check out a podcast he was in with George Janko. Cliffe thank you for that podcast I’ve been watching a lot of your videos these past few months and more teens my age need to hear Jesus’s message through you. I hope that it reaches them like you have me. Thank you.
how long is cliffe in new york? would love to see him in person
Amen Amen Amen

HI Cliff, first let me say I love the way you answer questions, you said you sometimes use the NIV bible. Can you tell me who the author is.
Isn’t it interesting that God needs to command us to love Him, whereas if we allowed ourselves to realise God’s infinite goodness, we wouldn’t need to be commanded to do what we would automatically do. And also the fact that Jesus never sinned has us loving Him with a grateful love we have never previously known.
i believe in Christian revival after watching people like Cliff and Frank Turek
What is success if it is not accompanied by the success of obtaining everlasting life?
Im always so sad when the video ends 😅😅😅😂😂❤❤❤
Have you ever lied, stolen, used God's name in vain, looked wuth lust? if so you need to repent today and Believe in Jesus Christ to save you from Hell and go to heaven instead
Am I the only one who loves Cliffes body language?
23:20 lol that guy has the exact same outfit as Cliffe
@ 15:27 there’s 2 guys in the background dressed like cliffe and Michael lol
Thought I saw Michael in a video debating with Muslim Uthaman.
Its amazing how much more humble people are off of a college campus
There are devil's on college campuses..pride like no other
Entitled
Show me one who never complains and I will show you the late queen of England. A serene person in the midst of her difficulties.
Jesus is indeed God!
The lady essentially asked, why doesn't a god make itself known to those who do not believe.
Cliffes answer:
"Any thinking person [would] believe in him"
"93% of ppl believe in god/gods"
"Unless you have sex with me, I don't think you love me" (as a way to analogize asking for evidence as manipulative)
None of these points suffice. To some, god is like an online overseas boyfriend. You're given an image or idea of this boyfriend, he has sent you letters. But still not sure if this person is real - need more evidence.
So please believe in your heart and confess that Jesus is God your Lord and Saviour you will be save a relationship with Him forever and be CITIZEN of the KINGDOM of HEAVEN forever and you should live by faith not by sight and show by your good works and please remember that Jesus is The WAY The TRUTH and The LIFE Amen ❤️💯🙏
"who doesn't God just come down and show himself"
He did. That's who Jesus was
"Yeah but still why doesn't he come down”
👍👍👍🙏✌
In the Muslim religion there is no assurance of salvation. The good deeds must over weigh the bad deeds, they are there own judge. But truly Jesus came as the Son of God and the spotless Lamb of God to sacrifice himself to take away the sins of the world once and for all. Man can not overcome sin but only believing and having Faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior will one be forgiven of sins. The weight of one’s sins is transferred to Jesus, who the Son sets free is free indeed! Only by Gods Grace and Fatih in Jesus Christ can one come unto the Father. There is no peace in the soul of the Muslim, they lack Jesus Christ.
6:43 its completely illogical, irrational, impossible for God to limit himself. But thats is where we come to understand God, as a being that can do impossible things, but this being doesnt need to obey our descriptive logical laws. God is not bounded by what humans say its true. This generation fear to say God does things which are illogical for us.
Here is what i think about the points he made:
1. "I and the Father are one"; I think it means "I do what my father will do. We think alike. But he still calls the Father, "father". Obviously, Jesus reverenced God.
2. "Before Abraham, I was": That Jesus came before Abraham doesn't automatically mean he came before God. Even angels for example were made before any man, including Adam.
So, here's my point. Jesus is the Son of God. His first creation. And through him, God's love is showed to us. The bible tells us that Jesus is the first born of all creation. Meaning Jesus was created....by God.
Peace.
God does mention in the book of Job; leviathan and behemoth,(dinosaurs, maybe)?
The young Muslim said, "I can't comprehend an all-powerful God coming into this world" (paraphrase). What? An all-powerful God who created the heavens and the Earth is only limited to 2 things. 1. God cannot lie. 2. God cannot take away man's free will. (Isaiah 55:8) "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways declare the Lord." There are some things about God that as human beings we will not understand this side of eternity.
Follow Acts 2:38 every one of you!
I’m going to be in NYC in early March I would love to see you 😂
Her question: why doesn't God appear to humans and reveal himself can also be answered like this "God already appeared, and the time he was on earth people still did not repent and many denied him and continue to do so even today, He was later killed".
There most definitely are references to dinosaurs in Scripture.
So, just a small question... I am a Christian, and I know that this question may or may not have an answer that the human mind could grasp..., but I would like to hear your answer. So, how can we say that we will recognize our loved ones in heaven and at the same time that there will be no sadness in heaven?
I am asking because I am humanly imagining that the moment we realize that some of our loved ones are not in heaven (if we actually realize that) we would get really sad. So, I just would like to know if there is an explanation for that? If there isn't, I would definitely understand that maybe we are just not ready to understand that heavenly knowledge of how that could work.
Many blessings
Isaiah 65:17
@@vanessab2726thank you
At that point God will be wholly within you. You will be fully sanctified and one with God so while your loved ones might not make it you will understand why and not be sad about it most likely. Every tear will be wiped.
There’s no going to heaven. That is not what scripture teaches.
Ephesian 4:26 Be angry,yet do not sin;do not let your anger last until the sun goes down. Yes we still have all kind of emotion in heaven,sad, angry,happy,joy,tear.We can have sad emotion in heaven,but not depression , hate, stress and all kind negative emotion.

'It was a custom of the Pagans to celebrate on the same December 25 the birthday of the Sun, at which they kindled lights in token of festivity.
Yup. But the Bible and first century Christians did not claim that was the birthday of Jesus. Sinful men blended the concept to get pagans in line and accepting of Christianity. Doesn’t change the history of Jesus in any way.
@@mikegreen2229 It actually does but everyone now a days are haughty and not open to any agreement or understanding.
@@ThisOldMan1 Why? Because some Catholic bishops and popes made a claim of authority they don’t really have? I mean, I don’t agree with celebrating a pagan belief masked as something else, but that’s me personally. Still doesn’t make the birthday of Jesus December 25th
@@mikegreen2229 I actually think we are in agreement that Dec. 25th is not the Birthday of Jesus Christ, but instead is a pagan holiday to the sun god

I’ve noticed that Muslims have a hard time answering questions. Cliffe asked “ Does that make sense and the Muslim answered “ I’m a Muslim”. Are all Muslims trained to avoid answering questions? Sure seems this way
Muslim can answer questions
Cliffes asking white belts
In Islam, God is God alone. So for them the idea of the Trinity or a human being God is counter or undermines the whole foundation of Islam. Ultimately, if you affirm Jesus is God, you can no longer be a Muslim. They understand the ramifications of that.
@@jasonnoble7302 find me a "black belt" Muslim and let's talk.
.
Cliff's question is still valid regardless: Muslims cannot both respect Jesus but then also reject his claim that he is God, unless they reject the Bible as corrupt, which manuscript evidences show is false. The best New Testament Bible translations we have today are 99.98% the same writing today as it was when originally written in Greek, with only minor clerical copyist errors. None of these very minor differences contradict any core Christian teaching, including that in the earliest manuscripts we see the "I AM" and divine nature of Christ.
.
So, unless a Muslim can judo-chop a hole in 5,100 reliable historic manuscripts... it's not going to matter that he's a black belt vs. a white belt. Truth is truth, whether simple or complex. Thankfully, Christianity is wonderfully simple. Christ invites us to trust in him as the God/Man who died and rose for the forgiveness of our sins. You get to either accept him or reject him, but what you don't get to do is brush him off as "just another prophet." He claimed divinity; he accepted worship; he was crucified for blasphemy: therefore, he's either divine or he's a lunatic. Choose one or the other. There is no "Option 3".
FACTS without lies Islam dies. Cliffe Knechtle in New York City is awesome 😎. We may not live tomorrow or the rest of this day so live your Life in Truth. Love my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Many religious beliefs can be similar not the exact same based on culture and location 💯. Agnostics don't really make a decision about God's Existence because it doesn't matter to them just like apatheists. I miss the good Old Days of common sense, rational discourse, sanity and clarity when people could have good conversations. AMEN brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless brother Stuart and Cliffe Knechtle's Apologetics ministry even though Cliffe's getting older but he held his own pretty well explaining Christianity and theism to these people. It's obviously not the burden of proof for believers but God Himself to meet the burden of proof which He has for us Christian theists despite what Atheists claim are just unsupported claims. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " On The Origin of Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology but I accept micro Evolution such as speciation and adaptation because there's no evidence of macro Evolutionary biology nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
@@chriseasterly5142 The foundation of Islam is deception, perversion, violence, intimidation, paganism. It’s satanic. According to their Quran , Allah said he will destroy you if you DO NOT commit sin and will replace you with others that DO COMMIT SIN. Jesus on the other hand says Turn away from you sin and repent. Don’t fall for their crap.

It is evident that Jesus is God incarnate. To begin with, his birth from a Virgin raises the question of why this unique event occurred. According to Christian theology, this miraculous birth fulfilled prophecies from the Old Testament, such as Isaiah 7:14, which foretold the coming of a child born of a virgin. This extraordinary birth sets Jesus apart as a divine figure.
Furthermore, Jesus' life and teachings align with the concept of divinity. His teachings, often referred to as the Sermon on the Mount, presented a moral and ethical framework that went beyond the norms of his time. His ability to perform miracles, such as healing the sick and raising the dead, demonstrated divine power.
Additionally, the claim that Jesus made about his identity adds to the evidence of his divinity. In the Gospel of John, Jesus repeatedly refers to himself as the "Son of God" and "I am," which was a clear reference to the name of God in the Old Testament (Exodus 3:14). These statements caused controversy during his time but emphasized his divine nature.
Lastly, the resurrection of Jesus after his crucifixion is a pivotal event in Christian belief. The empty tomb and the appearances of Jesus to his disciples provided further evidence of his divine nature. His victory over death reinforced the idea that he was not merely a prophet or teacher but indeed the Son of God.
In conclusion, the combination of his miraculous birth, teachings, claims about his identity, and resurrection from the dead makes it evident to many Christians that Jesus is God incarnate.
Jesus is God ❤
Jesus was a prophet sent by God.
Matthew 12:46-50,
Actually! the Bible does mention Dinosaurs, The Bible describes dinosaurs (Job 40:15-24). in the
Book of Job, written 4,000 years ago, God describes the "Behemoth" as: the largest of all land creatures, plant eating (herbivore), with great strength in its hips and legs, powerful stomach muscles, a tail like a cedar tree, and bones like bars of iron. This is an accurate description of sauropods - the largest known dinosaur family, the next verse further confirms this fact, *"It ranks first among the works of God",* we know that dinosaurs were among the first of creatures to appear on the earth millions of years ago,
the Bible also says "He that made him makes his sword to approach unto him.” In other words, God caused the dinosaur, one of the first of His creatures He had made, to become extinct, now even if I'm wrong and this wasn't referring to a dinosaur, Cliffe's point still stands the Bible doesn't need to address those questions at all, the Bible is not a book on science, because science is not all that exists.
Leviathon and behemeth in JOB
dinosaurs
