Please seriously read Dr Richard Carrier's peer reviewed book on the historicity of Jesus... the evidence for Jesus's existence is VERY iffy and nearly nonexistent, despite traditional views... mythicism has a LOT OF crackpots claiming ridiculous things, BUT Carrier is not a Crank. His studies are meticulous and open minded and the conclusions were shocking even to HIM (Carrier). I'm a former Christian, but have ZERO animosity towards the Faith (my wife's father is a Hindu turned Protestant minister in Northeastern India), but Christianity makes no sense to me personally. In my past, I WANTED Christianity to be true so badly, but when I investigated it obsessively to PROVE it, I realized it was not only NOT provable, but not even likely to be true. If Christianity soothes a person and motivates them to be giving, loving people, then I'm all for it. But, when Christians get under the spell that they are the only way and all others are damned, etc, then that is a spiritual immaturity that needs ironed out, or else is divisive and counterproductive to LOVE (out of ignorance). The real truth is that Consciousness Itself is Primal and we live in a nondualistic reality... matter, people, and everything which can be perceived is INSIDE Consciousness... all is in the One Mind, such as when our dream avatars play out their parts in the dreamer’s dream. No need for redemption or reward, because all is "God" playing out the roles of the universe. God is the only "doer" and is all there ultimately is. We are literally God wearing the various masks of our seemingly individual egos. All is merely play. If curious what the heck I'm speaking of, please research Bernardo Kastrup (for a modern perspective on nondualism), or read Alan Watts ("The Book") or delve into Advaita Vedanta via the principle Upanishads of Sanatana Dharma (Nondual Hinduism). Peace ✌️
@@GoofyAhOklahoma Pretty sure it's his little brother. One video they talked about growing up. His son is much younger. Again I could wrong. God bless. They're awesome regardless
I am very surprised that there are this many students listening to this talk and this gives me encouragement. I really thought there would be studnets yelling to interrupt and stop this important message. God bless.
I too am surprised that so many students listen to this absurd nonsense. It seems to me there are two distinct possibilities. Either there is no god and these myths are exactly that myths. Or you have a god that's claimed wishes to have a relationship with his creation. He wants us to live our lives in a certain way with regard to morals , worshipers ect. This god think that the best way to convey this vital message to us is via a book of scriptures. This book he knows will reach me as copies of translations of copies of translations of an original oral tradition. And to all intensive purposes will appear to be the myths and beliefs of ignorant superstitious primative tribesmen, just like all the thousands of others. This book will contain testimonies that are unsigned, for the most part hearsay and written by we dont know who. It will contains talking snakes and talking donkeys giants witches magic and zombies. It will appear to some to have questionable ethics with regard to endorsement of slavery infanticide genocide ect. This book will also disagree with science on many different subjects like origins and age of the earth , how the diversity of life came about basic cosmology ect ect. The hero of this book will appear to be very similar to all the other proposed demigods born of virgins from earlier pagan deities, and will be serving a very specific purpose vicarious redemption ( or scapegoating) a practice that apears to be an imoral concept in itself .And a form of which , was already being practiced in the area. Anyway god seemingly thinks that the best way for him to be able to forgive man, for breaking rules that god knew in advance that they would break when he made those rules. Is 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 🤔🤔🤔 Our hero and the stories about him though are not for everyone as this god is predominantly concerned about one particular tribe of people called jews and one little area of the Mediterranean. The aborigines, Asians ect dont seem to important. He has also created a place of eternal torture for people who are unconvinced by his book. Even though belief is not a choice as you are either convinced of something or unconvinced, and it is generaly evidence that convinces I personally could not just choose to believe in tinkerbell because that belief offers rewards , no matter how much I just closed my eyes and stamped my feet. And if I am unable to see through all of the above and conclude that jehovah is the explanation for reality as I see it , then I'm deservingly sent off to hell. *No offence my friend but regardless of whether such a god exists or not I'm being entirely rational and justified in my current position as an atheist*
@@trumpbellend6717you regurgitated a lot of the failed talking points of increasingly irrelevant angry atheists like Matt Dillahunty and Aron-Ra. Don't put faith in the Bible, or Christianity as an organized body. Faith is put in Jesus Christ. "Science," cannot provide all the answers to every aspect of life, it would be arrogant to claim that "science," has all the answers when it clearly does not.
I love the videos where everyone is respectful of each other and everyone holds an intellectual conversation. It was a joy and privilege to watch this video.
In this link th-cam.com/video/vXZx1FUd7Ko/w-d-xo.html . I show you up Jesus's nose 6 times in this Askcliffe (Give me an answer video from May 8th 2022. I am calling you out Cliffe and son.
I'm an Atheist and also believe it good to hold intellectual respectful discourse. The problem is that for many theists any questioning of their theology is seen as an attack. They automatically hold the default position that I as a non believer am an evil Sinner. That my purpose is to decieve not to understand and that my beliefs are based upon ignorance or incredulity of biblical scripture. Sure they are more than happy to initialy engage me in debate however i usually find the more the discourse exposes the fallacious nature of theological beliefs the more aggressive dismissive and insulting they become.
@@trumpbellend6717 Your statement shows that you don't understand what is being said. The default position is not that *you alone* as an unbeliever are a sinner, bit that all of us have rejected Him and are sinners because *all of us* have done that. Perhaps your position, which places you in a defensive mindset has blinded you to other truths that God's children are trying to share with you. After all, it is a universal truth that nobody (broad generalization) wants to be told they're wrong and have to admit they're in need of correction. That doesn't mean that what you're saying isn't all wrong because all of us have fallen short and have difficulty accepting our need for correction. So yes, this applies to followers of Christ too. But the fact that you present only the errors of the people whom you are evangelizing to, shows that you have many blind spots as well.
Anyone that teaches the LIE of monetary tithing, sells anything using the gospel, or teaches that same-sex marriage is a sin CHOOSES to die with the wicked. Luke 10:7 states the only wages for ministering are eating and drinking whatever you are given. Also, know that rich people will all die. You can't be a Christian, sit on all kinds of money, watch your fellow brothers and sisters starve, suffer, or be homeless, choose to do nothing about it, and think that it's ok. Those are all wolves. Mathew 19:12 Eunuchs that are born that way are transgender. Eunuchs made that way by others were abused in some way and something inside of them blocks off a certain type of body but it doesn't happen to everyone that is abused. Those that choose to live like Eunuchs FOR THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN are bisexual people that choose partners of the same sex-characteristics but opposite in regards to gender. Notice, it states God PREFERS for people to be in LGBT relationships. Leviticus, Corinthians, and Timothy were translated wrong by Billy Graham. Those verses are actually referring to pedophilia. Romans 1:27 All of the men were male in regards to gender, all of the women were female in gender. It is not referring to Eunuchs (where one partner is transgender). Also, it had nothing to do with marriage of any kind. They were trying to procreate during orgies so God did it on purpose. Anyone that continues to teach same sex marriage is a sin when the Bible says God prefers for people to be in LGBT relationships will also die by their own choice. In order to be a church building, the place must house people inside of it. Otherwise it is just another private money-making business part of Babylon that furthers satan's agenda. Stay out of the fake churches. I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 and Acts 3:22-23 says it will come to pass that anyone that fails to listen to me will be UTTERLY destroyed from among the people. Again, everyone has a choice. And anyone that deletes my messages CHOOSES to reject Jesus Christ Himself and that means they also CHOOSE to die with the wicked. I am Elijah so that means any discrepancies in the holy books are ultimately decided by me. I am also to usher in the Messiah! Be ready: Jesus is coming back! WORLD PEACE IS COMING!! By the way, anything based on gender norms no longer applies. In fact, the last will be first and the first will be last. It's women that will be ruling the kingdom of heaven...
@@elijahmalachi45-63 Jesus says he shows himself to those who obey him. John 14:21 " Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” Do you have any videos showing us how you see him? I have about 503.
Cliff I wanna thank u your changed a lot of my thinking and strengthen my fault in Christ I love the way u answer the question and break them down so simple but complex tat the same time is just amazing
Mad respect to the young man in the white shirt. So respectful and open minded. Most college students don’t have that kind of respect when faced with different viewpoints and ideologies.
@@Pizzaturtle13wait you're the guy? 😮 that was a great intellectual discourse. How was your Read about Jesus homework? Is He a great guy to pattern your life with?
He was absolutely very open minded, I could tell his mind was working it through. And even though he might not like me to make this claim, I felt like The Holy Spirit was making itself known in him when Cliff was talking about going to Christ and not religion.

There are a few people who have true gifts of spreading the Gospel. These two are absolutely gifted at presenting the gospel to a group that needs to hear the Word more than anyone.
College students especially, young people. Eager to learn. Haven't closed their minds to ideas other than what they have just took for granted for so long
Spreading the "gospel" is spreading fairy tales as fact, the gospels are written by no one knows whom, none are signed, none are written by those accreditted with doing so, they are not sourced, verified or corroborated by any known , proven to exist people's by the same criteria, they are actual evidence of absolutely bugger all.
@@rogercarrico4975their ignorance is malleable, and people such as Cliffe profit knowingly of such. No where in the world have they such an audience as in the USA kids that have spent their whole lives living with the indoctrination of State education, and culture , hell it's the only nation other than dictatorships that swear an oath of allegiance.
Stuart’s response to pluralism was so great and truthful! The analogy he used was helpful! Thank you guys for your service to the Lord, and helping me in my faith and knowledge about truth
HERE is The Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
I started watching this video thinking "oh no, here is another arrogant apologist debating students trying to make them feel stupid" But this was well-spoken, in honour and simple truth. Well done guys! Cheering you on!
I don’t get arrogance from Cliff, I get confidence that He can make a strong argument for Christ based on his faith and the Holy Spirit and of course the evidence of God. Cliff not only knows God through Jesus Christ, he also knows the other religions and their philosophies. If you don’t really know what you are talking about, you shouldn’t get into a long debate with a person who you realize knows more than what you do on the subject. You should just ask questions. That way you will learn without being intimidated.
Not going to lie, I’ve watched almost all your videos on here. I think this was probably one of the best convos I’ve seen between you, Stuart and a student
Psalm 14:2-3 "The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one." We are corrupted beings, we all have evil in our hearts. Though we may not murder, or steal, or whatever we think is a big no, no, the evil we think in our hearts on a daily basis is corrupt. It is by CHRIST ALONE that we find salvation! All the evil I have done and thought... oh, how loving and merciful He is and we don't deserve it! He loves us so much to DIE for us, thank Him and praise Him! Peace and blessings!
How could any rational person possibly believe 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. I'm going to stop here ( I have work ) and have not even finished addressing your first paragraph yet.
Who is us according to the bible bible acts 5/29/30/31 tell us christ die for Israel and scripture never mention no other nation unless you can prove the bible wrong

You guys have help so much in my understanding of God, the Bible and the faith in general. I’ve watched almost all your videos. I need more videos ASAP please😭😭
Also check out The Holy Quran. it's the missing link for our health & happiness. It's the only book where yhwh himself speaks directly. Thus it's the manual of use of the human machine. It's no joke. It's pretty potent because it contains mathematical paterns beyond human ability & references to modern human scientific knowledge(link in my channel's infos section). Prophet Muhammad was the prophet of Deut18:18 , John1:21 & John16:13 who led us to all the truth. Blessings 😉💗
psalm 147/19/20 he show his words to Jacob his statutes and judgments to Israel for he has not dealt with any other nation and for his judgments they have not known them according to the bible the most high show his words statutes and judgments to Israel never mention no other nation for he has not dealt with any other nation according to the bible the most high wasn't dealing with no other nation so explain how an none Israelite would know the most high words statutes and judgments explain
As a Christian woman of colour who has lived in a low income household for most of my life - I totally disagree with the idea that I strengthened my faith in Christ just to rebuttal the "white man's approach". How ignorant and even racist. As a woman of colour, I have never been oppressed, and I have always believed in God. I grew in my faith because I wanted a relationship with God, I wanted to know who he was, I wanted to understand what he did for me and what he excepts of me. I wanted to know what the truth was. People who just spew this kind of nonsense are the ones who are brainwashed. Praying that God opens the mind of that gentleman and all the students questioning the Great I AM!
@@zambot264 and what makes sense? I have found the Truth. I don't know what you mean by forced, but every parent "forces" their world view on their child. The child then grows up and finds his/her own path. I have always been free to think and believe what I want. The best way to live and the Truth is found in the Christian faith... not Islam, not Hinduism or Atheisim, etc. You seem lost ... I shall pray for you.
@@zambot264 and what has made sense in your life? I asked and said what you just said. And you're in your right to make that assessment, we human beings carry doubt. But if you look back at your life and lay out your experiences, and if you can point out the moments where you were given what you thought you wantes but was later taught a harsh lesson that you weren't yet ready for it, that is the proof of God. God will give you will you can handle because he knows you can handle it. Even if you're lost in your faith or never had it. If you can comprehend good and evil, you begin to understand God. Do animals have free will, empathy, compassion, discernment of good and evil? No. We are not animals, we are a unique set of beings on Earth, if that doesn't point to a greater power, then nothing matters and you should go fuck and kill whoever because the notion of good and evil becomes meaningless in the face of Chaos.

@@jameslang1367well, he apparently didn’t do that for Adam and Eve since they didn’t know what Good and Evil before committing their first “Sin”, and yet they were still punished for it. How can you punish people for doing Evil, such as disobeying God, when you don’t even know it’s Evil to disobey God in the first place? Also, worshipping ourselves? Get over yourself, we don’t worship ourselves as some narcissistic people who thinks we are better than God. We just don’t believe in him, and that lack of belief logically creates a a difference in values between me and someone such as yourself.

This video should go viral! What an amazing day for this guy talking to Cliffe. I really hope he sits down and reads the Word. Great job by Cliffe and his friend describing the Word and Jesus.
I love the comment at 11:09 “it hasn’t happened again” :) sometimes we don’t realize what we say. I love watching deniers not yet in their walk with Christ, speak. They slip in ways they don’t recognize. I used to as well, I was once a blasphemer, denier and very blind. I rarely listen to secular music anymore but when I do, I hear love songs to God himself yet those people don’t quite recognize it. Their hearts yearn for him so desperately. I wish they knew him, I pray they know him, I pray that we all end up in heaven, rejoicing in heavenly voices and shouting out in cheer to our Lord almighty for rescuing and redeeming us from our pits of sin and death. All hail the almighty Lord our God and Master Jesus Christ. ♥️
Amazing type of a preaching platform, profounf conversations, respectfully and objectively articulated. A real kingdom of God ambassador you guys are. Learned a lot. Love from Botswana. Shalom
I tell you this. That young man does NOT want to believe that Jesus is real because for some reason homosexuality IS the big one. I can say that because I was in his boat for MORE THAN half my life 12-40 (I just turned 41, and no long want to practice that lifestyle) Out of ALL of my sins this one is the ONLY one you feel when one is confronted about it. I never felt the drinking, drugs, I felt bad when I lied I hated it cheated in games, tests etc, gossiped, you name it. None of those sins had weight to it the way this one is. And I wasn't even the type to see it as my identity. More like I really really love her, and I don't want to let it go, but knowing we ought not to be and not wanting to let go. Boy I just can even explain it here,, either way HE KNOWS, he really knows he just doesn't want to let it in cause he doesn't want to let go of what he likes. I hope I made sense.
i've watched all your'll videos the way your'll speak and so articulate with the words you use. when i try to talk to people about this i feel like i get to emotional and sensitive when speaking i've always ask jesus to help me with that but its always the same thing. but i think its to build me up.
Recently bought Cliffe’s book and it’s absolutely amazing. What this man is doing is truly increíble. His story should be heard all around and he has helped me and so many others turn to Jesus. It’s an honor to have found this channel and share these moments with cliffe and his audience. I’m going to try and get in touch with cliffe and personally thank him for his mission. God bless
These discussions are SO important and SO helpful. I love how they all listen to each other without interruption having a mature conversation with genuine questions. and looking at their faces they are so honest about it too. This channel is doing tremendous good that we desperately need in our youth. thank you
I’ve been following this channel for a while and I have to say every single video I’ve seen that has come from this ministry has been nothing but refreshing and respectful and I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do.
How exciting to see the gospel of Jesus Christ taught on our college campuses!! I love how you approach them from an intellectual standpoint to get them thinking.. next step saving their souls and praying for God to do the work in their hard hearts!!
We just rejected the falsehood of the world and embrace the truth of God, it has nothing to do with colonialism or dominance, thank you Cliffe and Staurt for the teachings,.Love from Africa, Zambia🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
Very beautiful and simple way of presenting the Gospel of Christ, without shouting and without prejudice, simply conversing and giving participation to those present, I loved it! GBYG!
This ministry has been an incredible blessing to me, and has strengthened me as an apologist. Thanking GOD for Cliff and Stuart and praying for them and this ministry with earnestness and fervor!
It’s impossible to be intelligent and spiritually minded at the exact same time. After all, we, Christians, have seen the light and those who believe differently than us ~ haven’t. Our selfish ego blindly drives us to passionately persuade others who are different than us to think, reason and believe just as we do. God is Love, not Ego!
This makes me answer some questions on how I would like to present a gospel, if I had the courage and repentance to be so. Thank you for speaking out bodly to these individuals. Praise our king 🙏🙏
I'm a skeptic who watches these videos to prepare for talking to my family. Cliffe and Stuart regularly make false dichotomies and arguments from ignorance/incredulity, all supported by baseless assertions. What good point do you think they made?

He is well read. If someone teaches something, they have to know more than the subject they are teaching otherwise they would easily get stumped with tricky questions.
Amazing teacher of what according to the bible psalm 147 19/20 tell us the most high never dealt with any other nation so what would an edomite know about the words statutes or judgment of the most high show me in scripture where an edomite an none Israelite know anything about the most high words
Joshua Butts I noticed that as well. "Fruit" is a better choice. When we hear things proclaimed wrongly repeatedly they become our "truth". The world is watching and listening. Psalm 141:3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over my lips.
Revelation 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.✝️
Gods’ holy angels are also looking out for us as well. Each one of us has a guardian angel who watches to see that nothing bad happens to us. And if it does they are there to come to our aide. It we also have a conscience between our ears. We would not be here if God and our parents did not love us. ❤️🌈🙏
I love how the girl in the blue with Gospel shirt on (Morgan) kept shaking her head indicating (saying no, she disagree) with what the guy next to her is saying about reincarnation and other religions etc.
The guy who believes in karma answered his own question when he said that Jesus was, "so exact". That's the whole reason God chose a ppl, (The Jews) in the 1st place, so that we, (Gentiles) would have a precise knowledge of what God expects. Jesus personifies this precision by giving us the best definitions of love, truth & how to live, w/His life example.
Nonsence an omniscient omnipotent omnibenevolent God would not have a "preferred people" but would treat all the same. _"precise knowledge of what God expects"_ 😂🤣🤣🤣 please don't make me laugh. I think the requirement for apologists, biblical scholars and the vast array of conflicting and contradictory moral conclusions that are derived from christian theology more than adequately demonstrates the absurdity of your statement. Christianity is separated into thousands of denominations. Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist, Apostolic, Methodist - the list goes on. Estimations show there are more than 200 Christian denominations in the U.S. alone. According to Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, there exist roughly 43,000 Christian denominations worldwide in 2012. That is up from 500 in 1800 and 39,000 in 2008 and this number is expected to grow to 55,000 by 2025. Do they all agree about the trinity ? Is the pope the head of the church? Can priests marry ? Birth control ? Sexuality? Can women be ordained ? How to attain salvation? The nature of mary ? Dispensationalism vrs covernantalism Freewill vrs predestination ? Eternal security ? Faith vrs works ? Heaven ? Hell? Evolution? Alcohol? Literal or aligorical? I'm going to stop here because I could literally go on for hours. They disagree and have different opinions with regard to all of the above that's precisely WHY they have different denominations. *ITS ALL SUBJECTIVE* All these different gods and denominations past and present offer differing morality that has nothing to do with human wellbeing but often contradict and conflict with each other on almost every issue. If YOU want to claim your particular god as the objective reference point for morality. You first have to demonstrate *objectively* that YOUR particular god EXISTS and is infact THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and *not merely the only true god in your subjective opinion* That he is "MORAL" ( what standard did you use to judge this ? ) Are all the other gods and denominations other than yours false and yours true If so prove it . otherwise you offer nothing but a *subjective opinion on morality* *CAN YOU DO THIS YES OR NO* ?? Please note if you are unwilling or unable to answer this basic question, then at least have the honesty to recognise the hypocrisy of your position.
I feel like I finally found exceptional explanations that incorporate everything about God and Christianity. The speaker gave wholesome explanations. Thank you!!! Thank God!!!
Jesus is true when he says "they hate me with out a cause". Eventhough, the young man was respectful in his conversation but he made it clear he doesn't want Jesus to be true. Not only that, he wants Jesus to earn his trust eventhough he did it 2000 years ago by dying in the cross for the sins of all human beings. Very sad with these young generation, they pretend as ethical and open minded but foolishness is what all they have. "professing to be wise but they become fools in their hearts"!
My understanding is that Jesus died to appease God's wrath and sense of retributive justice. We don't want or need a blood sacrifice. It doesn't help anyone.
@@spooky6902 I don't understand how you understand the Bible different than all the Christians for 2000 years. Your understanding contradicts the Bible, the disciples, church fathers, Christianity and so on. If you are honest you can't come to that conclusion.

The second question is… if God created everything why did he create evil? Does Light create darkness? Does heat create cold? No and No. God did not create evil. We can study light and heat but we can only study them to understand their absence which leaves darkness and cold. We must know God because he is Good before we can know evil. We must know Truth to know the lie. Where there is no light there is darkness. Where there is no heat there is cold. Where there is no truth there are lies. Where there is no God there is Evil.
I'm sorry but do you not realise that it was GOD that created evil on the first place. ? 👇👇👇👇 Isaiah 45:7 7 *"I form the light, and create darkness I make peace, and create EVIL I the Lord do all these THINGS"* Do you really believe that a god then 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.
💌 My dear, you have a polarized view that separates light from darkness. They are not separate. They appear to be so, but are not. For God DIRECTLY creates good and INDIRECTLY creates evil. They both come from God as the Source of all things. If God is not the author of good and evil, then God is not Soveriegn ! Think about that.🤔 In Isaiah 45:7 God declares, *I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.* God allows evil, which He indirectly created to take its course. He in His *Divine Wisdom* doesn't stop suffering. Because we are here for a short time. And we are here to be developed and tested. For there is no possible way we can grow up and mature without trials and tribulations. Just receiving good will spoil us and cause us to lose our souls. Here's a fair question: 🔹️ How would God know who belongs to Him if He does not try us with evil to see our reactions? 🔹️How would God know who is loyal to Him and fit for the kingdom of heaven if He does not test us ??? I know its hard to accept. But ... nothing exist without God's permission because God is the Supreme Source of all things. *Everything in your life is for a divine reason, and making key choices for your salvation is in your hands. Life was not designed for lasting happiness. It is a great test.* Remember that. 🙏🏽➕💜 Please read Job chapter 1 and 2, and its last chapter. It shows us how to deal with suffering.
@@mtalk828 What utter piffle, he doesn't stop suffering because _"we are here for a short time and we are here to be developed and tested"_ you say 🤮🤮🤮 Just how is a young child that is subject to repeated RAPE being "developed" ???

I think he was refering to dead peoples spirits who wonder the earth looking for people to haunt. I don't believe that either. However, I have heard Cliffe say he believes that demons are trying to harm people. And I believe this as well. In addition, we have angelic assistance, and the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit to help us through life.

@@ChrisTheKing172 Irrelevant to the method, this method is how we find objective reality yet not every person finds reality or agrees on it, still the method works as it finds what's true on its own and this does not require personal agreement nor does it require a 100% same answer.
@@ChrisTheKing172 Christian, Muslim, Atheist (No God) each is the same sharing the belief they believe is true. But the truth of the matter is the only one that shouldn't exist in an age of science & knowledge is the Atheist (No God) position. God is just a title meaning First, creator, sustainer, it is however a title that people have a lot of baggage with so rather than use that title I will use a synonym of that title "Source". A source does not need to be able to think or feel or be personal or have personhood, but a source a first that results in a chain that creates and sustains the universe is required. Universe either started requiring a source or the universe is eternal in which it is the source. Either way a source is needed each group may call this source something different and claim different things about it but each group agrees a source is required so the only position that should logically not exist is the Atheist (No Source) position, we can dispute about features, attributes, functions of the source but we cannot logically deny a source exists. Just to be ahead of the whole Atheist meaning, people say they're Atheist but what they should say is they are Anti-Theist because that is generally what they are, I just used what most will understand and even added (No God)/(No Source) for clarity and I will provide even more clarity and define the positions so you can understand how it is not lack of belief but a lack of consideration that makes someone an atheist aka the ignorant position. All people are Atheists, same as: All criminals are innocent - True for every crime they didn't commit except that is not how we operate, one is enough to be something. 1 crime = Criminal, 1 Child = Parent, 1 Answer = Apologist. Atheist is a passive position that a baby or child has until they ask, God? At which point God has entered the world view thus no longer passive, no longer atheist, it's like virginity once its gone you never get it back. You than become either Anti-Theist, Agnostic or Theist. Follows no God but rejects at least 1 God claim = Anti-Theist Follows at least 1 God, rejects all other God claims = Theist Considers God but doesn't accept or reject any God claim = Agnostic Doesn't Consider any God claim at all = Atheist The reality of the situation is true on its own and does not require you to agree thus disagreeing because you think, feel or want different is meaningless, so if you just want to disagree and argue than you're wasting your time as your thoughts, wants or feelings on the matter do not affect it at all.
@@ChrisTheKing172 I am answering your questions of what and why. How do you find objective morality? The same way you find objective reality. Reality is what three or more in isolation can agree on without conspiring = Objectively true. With objective truths it doesn't matter if you agree with them or not that is the beauty of them and why they work e.g. Take a tree ask three different people separately one at a time to describe that thing over there if they describe the same thing then that thing is objectively real, with only two people one could be colour blind leading to two opposing reports "it's a blue thing", "it's a red thing", that is why a minimum of three is needed. The more people aka the majority who report the same information on what that thing over there is without conspiring (Talking to each other) reveals that thing is real aka reality and that means it's an objective truth which is how you were able to discover it to be real in the first place. (Note: Discovering the truth not creating it) Similarly you don't find morality by asking people what they will allow to happen to others you find morality by observing what they won't allow others to do to them. A thief will say stealing from people is fine but don't steal from them = Stealing is wrong. You then apply the majority filter to this as you will find some want to be stolen from but the majority position is stealing from them is wrong = Stealing is wrong. Now just like the colour blind person there is people with deviances or issues which will make them Atypical so when we take stock of morality just like we did with reality we find there are objective truths even though these truths are not 100% agreed upon nor is that agreement required as the truth is revealed in the majority just like the truth of the tree was revealed in the majority. This holds true for just about everywhere meaning all people couldn't conspire with all people and it couldn't be taught to them as some had never had outsiders until that time, yet even though the different peoples of the world are separate and different from each other in so many ways when compared it reveals a unknowing consensus among the peoples on morality, steal from them but not from me (stealing is wrong), I can cheat on you but you cannot cheat on me (adultery is wrong), take their life not mine (murder is wrong). This unknown consensus reveals there is indeed objective morality just like how the unknown consensus among the peoples revealed there is indeed objective reality. (Note: Truth found not made) There is a underlying morality that the world agrees on without conspiring = Objectively true.
@@ChrisTheKing172 Put two basic definitions together and you get man made = Supernatural. Thus a Supernatural source aka God is required. Nature definition: the physical world and everything in it that is not made by people. (Humans do things beyond natures ability) Supernatural comes from the Latin word supernaturalis, meaning beyond nature. Humans do things beyond nature = Humans do Supernatural things. Supernatural cannot come from nature as it is Beyond Nature thus requiring a supernatural source aka God. How basic observations lead to God: Mind- Supernatural events need supernatural sources, surgery is a supernatural event which comes from the human mind thus the human mind is supernatural, its source pointing to a God/god like being. (Supernatural = Beyond nature) Body- Space matter and time began to exist which requires a source beyond space matter and time pointing to a God/god like being. Spirit- In order for objective Morale laws to exist there needs to be a standard of absolute good to be able to measure anything less results in subjective Morales this points to a God/god like being. You don't have to believe anything at all exists but you behave as if cars in the road exist because that is what the evidence suggests so you treat it as if it exists. I believe these observations is all that is needed for us to behave as if God exists and if there is a God we should do all we can to find and understand this being just like we would if evidence of any other life is found. I would then suggest the Bible is a excellent starting place since it indicates that Mind, Body and Spirit is the image of God and is the image man was made in, as this is what we observe in the world since the claim and observation match that is itself evidence for the Bible that evidence considered with the claim that the Bible is God introducing himself to man shows this would be a smart starting place to seek God.
@@hiddenrambo328 I think you're leaving gaps here. Specific religions contradict each other. So they are not all the same. If there is no being who has the personal component ie is there is no one involved, the free choice paradigm exists with little foundation. It is because we have free will given so that we can free choose and love, do as the lord wishes and do good to other. Without God, there is no obligation to do good. Without God, all things are permissible, and killing and raping are not moral atrocities they just simply are.
An individuals genuine faith in Jesus Christ has everything to do with who Jesus says He is, not about human ethnicities. Only Jesus Christ can combat and demolish racism and all other forms of hate. Luke 10:27 💝 "So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ” Revelation 21:8😈
The reason why people always looks at God when something evil happens is because God is in full control of everything. Satan cannot blink an eye without God allowing him to do so. This is why the question why there is so much evil, pain and suffering if there is a loving all powerful God is the biggest question there can be and as of right now, there are no answer to it.
@Our Savior We all born as atheists. The fact that you then chose to believe one of ten thousand other religions are enough to be skeptical in any supernatural events. Bible contradicts itself many times. And is scientifically inaccurate. I don't need god to know good from evil. The fact that people like you need a book like that as a moral guidance, is scary.
we have the ability to tell when someone cannot hear God , because he/she lacks a pure heart. To get a pure heart one must resist all sin and seek God, fasting, praying and reading the Word of God .
The difference between believing in all the Hindu gods vs. believing in Jesus is that all the other gods were created beings. The God of the Bible is outside of creation, He always existed, and is seen in the person of Jesus Christ. Atheists may think of Jesus as just another god, that science can eventually explain away, like the Greek god of lightning. But this is not the God of the Bible. God is eternal, the Creator of everything, and Jesus is our Creator (see John 1, Colossians 1, and Hebrews 1).
I believe the Hindu gods and goddesses, and other religions as well, are just demons self proclaiming they are gods... They always wanted to be like God..they can do stuffs, like the priests with Moses did miracles, but only the true God prevail.
@@ssv7195 I think that as well, but we can also create false gods in our head. Anything we choose to worship, becomes a false god. But, you are right Ephesians 6:12 talks about some of them.
All that evil comes from the angel Lucifer who chose to use his (freewill) to sin and influence humanity to sin with him. We have a redeemer in Jesus Christ. Yes Jesus rose HE'S GOD The Almighty. Only (ONE true GOD) by definition or He wouldn't be GOD. You can't prove He doesn't exist because HE DOES. John 14:6 👑 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 8:44 "You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it"
“Jesus is here in the form of the Holy Spirit”… Can you please explain this Cliffe? Are you saying this in the sense that both Jesus and the Spirit are God. Or are you saying that Jesus, in some way, became the Spirit or is the Spirit, rather than two separate persons of the Trinity?
I think he means that Jesus is here in the form of the holy spirit because both are God. They're not the same person of course, but both are God. John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.
It might be that the girl would claim that Jesus is in heaven right now sitting at the right side of God the Father but the Holy Spirit is here with us as Jesus promised Him to send to us.

Has anyone heard anything quite so utterly nonsensical, so repugnant to logic and reason as a god crying out to himself wondering why he has been forsaken, by himself?!! Paraphrase Michael Sherlock.
Thats one of the most relatable parts of the bible imo. How often have we felt sorry for ourselves and said something similar in anger or dispare. Thats when Jesus bore the sins of the world and died for us, God is sinless perfection, and at that moment had to distance himself from Jesus because he was bearing that weight of sin, the most perfectly human response I could imagine.
First of all, I doubt if any of these students really understand what Christianity is, especially since it was labeled as religion. So I would hope that both Cliffe and Stuart would explain why Christianity is "different" than religion, explain what it is, what God did for us, and explain as to why false materialistic/prosperity christian shows are not to be misidentified as Christianity. Second, I don't understand why Cliffe is negative about American nationality. Our founding was based on religious freedom, and our founding documents (our Declaration of Independence, and our Constitution) were without doubt in some way inspired by God. God recognizes borders, rightful government, nations, etc. Our nation is unique and if our laws were properly followed we would be and still are the best nation in the world.
I agree, but there is a lot of corruption in our government and there is evidence that the Founding Father's may have been of the freemasonry, and there is plenty of evidence that freemasonry is against Christ. Freedom of religion, is merely something created so that many different denominations of Christians did not face oppression or exclusion due to the dominant religion or organization of the day. This could be good, this could be bad. There is a lot of bickering in how best to follow Christ. In our churches today in the states, we face usurping by Marxist agendas that were planted over 100 years ago. This turn the other cheek stuff and tolerance of things clearly against Christ's teachings got us to this point. Allowing separation of Church and state runs against what Christ wants: a unified Heaven and Earth. Indeed, Adam's states that this Constitution was created for a moral and religious people. People are ditching religion, and we are fast approaching Sodom and Gammorah. I do like Cliffe's videos.
@@rinzler9171 I enjoy them too....until he paints the entire white population as racists and thinks our country is not exceptional (when compared to others). I just think he could do better than to push that woke agenda.
So there’s zero documents of this nation proclaiming affiliation to a god and not inspired by god at all. Freedoms OF AND FROM religion. However there IS a document that states we are indeed NOT a Christian nation. You should check out the treaty of Tripoli, article 11. It reads; Article 11 of the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli, which declares that “the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,” has long been a fixture of debates over the separation of church and state.
@@jsk5633 And exactly what did George Washington do after his swearing in? What did they do as they struggled in writing our Constitution? Separation of church and state does not mean separation from God or from Christianity. Nonetheless, the argument is is this nation exceptional, especially in terms of its founding, the recognition of God-given rights, and its form of govt. I say yes.

Please seriously read Dr Richard Carrier's peer reviewed book on the historicity of Jesus... the evidence for Jesus's existence is VERY iffy and nearly nonexistent, despite traditional views... mythicism has a LOT OF crackpots claiming ridiculous things, BUT Carrier is not a Crank. His studies are meticulous and open minded and the conclusions were shocking even to HIM (Carrier). I'm a former Christian, but have ZERO animosity towards the Faith (my wife's father is a Hindu turned Protestant minister in Northeastern India), but Christianity makes no sense to me personally. In my past, I WANTED Christianity to be true so badly, but when I investigated it obsessively to PROVE it, I realized it was not only NOT provable, but not even likely to be true. If Christianity soothes a person and motivates them to be giving, loving people, then I'm all for it. But, when Christians get under the spell that they are the only way and all others are damned, etc, then that is a spiritual immaturity that needs ironed out, or else is divisive and counterproductive to LOVE (out of ignorance). The real truth is that Consciousness Itself is Primal and we live in a nondualistic reality... matter, people, and everything which can be perceived is INSIDE Consciousness... all is in the One Mind, such as when our dream avatars play out their parts in the dreamer’s dream. No need for redemption or reward, because all is "God" playing out the roles of the universe. God is the only "doer" and is all there ultimately is. We are literally God wearing the various masks of our seemingly individual egos. All is merely play. If curious what the heck I'm speaking of, please research Bernardo Kastrup (for a modern perspective on nondualism), or read Alan Watts ("The Book") or delve into Advaita Vedanta via the principle Upanishads of Sanatana Dharma (Nondual Hinduism).

I too am surprised that so many students listen to this absurd nonsense.
It seems to me there are two distinct possibilities.
Either there is no god and these myths are exactly that myths. Or you have a god that's claimed wishes to have a relationship with his creation.
He wants us to live our lives in a certain way with regard to morals , worshipers ect. This god think that the best way to convey this vital message to us is via a book of scriptures.
This book he knows will reach me as copies of translations of copies of translations of an original oral tradition.
And to all intensive purposes will appear to be the myths and beliefs of ignorant superstitious primative tribesmen, just like all the thousands of others.
This book will contain testimonies that are unsigned, for the most part hearsay and written by we dont know who. It will contains talking snakes and talking donkeys giants witches magic and zombies.
It will appear to some to have questionable ethics with regard to endorsement of slavery infanticide genocide ect.
This book will also disagree with science on many different subjects like origins and age of the earth , how the diversity of life came about basic cosmology ect ect.
The hero of this book will appear to be very similar to all the other proposed demigods born of virgins from earlier pagan deities, and will be serving a very specific purpose vicarious redemption ( or scapegoating) a practice that apears to be an imoral concept in itself .And a form of which , was already being practiced in the area.
Anyway god seemingly thinks that the best way for him to be able to forgive man, for breaking rules that god knew in advance that they would break when he made those rules. Is 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 🤔🤔🤔
Our hero and the stories about him though are not for everyone as this god is predominantly concerned about one particular tribe of people called jews and one little area of the Mediterranean. The aborigines, Asians ect dont seem to important.
He has also created a place of eternal torture for people who are unconvinced by his book. Even though belief is not a choice as you are either convinced of something or unconvinced, and it is generaly evidence that convinces
I personally could not just choose to believe in tinkerbell because that belief offers rewards , no matter how much I just closed my eyes and stamped my feet.
And if I am unable to see through all of the above and conclude that jehovah is the explanation for reality as I see it , then I'm deservingly sent off to hell.

That my purpose is to decieve not to understand and that my beliefs are based upon ignorance or incredulity of biblical scripture.
Sure they are more than happy to initialy engage me in debate however i usually find the more the discourse exposes the fallacious nature of theological beliefs the more aggressive dismissive and insulting they become.
@@trumpbellend6717 Your statement shows that you don't understand what is being said. The default position is not that *you alone* as an unbeliever are a sinner, bit that all of us have rejected Him and are sinners because *all of us* have done that.
Perhaps your position, which places you in a defensive mindset has blinded you to other truths that God's children are trying to share with you. After all, it is a universal truth that nobody (broad generalization) wants to be told they're wrong and have to admit they're in need of correction.
That doesn't mean that what you're saying isn't all wrong because all of us have fallen short and have difficulty accepting our need for correction. So yes, this applies to followers of Christ too. But the fact that you present only the errors of the people whom you are evangelizing to, shows that you have many blind spots as well.

Also, it had nothing to do with marriage of any kind. They were trying to procreate during orgies so God did it on purpose. Anyone that continues to teach same sex marriage is a sin when the Bible says God prefers for people to be in LGBT relationships will also die by their own choice.

There are a few people who have true gifts of spreading the Gospel. These two are absolutely gifted at presenting the gospel to a group that needs to hear the Word more than anyone.
These people are gifted as well.th-cam.com/video/KwT0YkkwMRE/w-d-xo.html
College students especially, young people. Eager to learn. Haven't closed their minds to ideas other than what they have just took for granted for so long
Spreading the "gospel" is spreading fairy tales as fact, the gospels are written by no one knows whom, none are signed, none are written by those accreditted with doing so, they are not sourced, verified or corroborated by any known , proven to exist people's by the same criteria, they are actual evidence of absolutely bugger all.

I started watching this video thinking "oh no, here is another arrogant apologist debating students trying to make them feel stupid" But this was well-spoken, in honour and simple truth. Well done guys! Cheering you on!
I would encourage you to watch more of his videos, he has hundreds of them. I spend hours watching and learning 🙏
I don’t get arrogance from Cliff, I get confidence that He can make a strong argument for Christ based on his faith and the Holy Spirit and of course the evidence of God. Cliff not only knows God through Jesus Christ, he also knows the other religions and their philosophies. If you don’t really know what you are talking about, you shouldn’t get into a long debate with a person who you realize knows more than what you do on the subject. You should just ask questions. That way you will learn without being intimidated.
Not going to lie, I’ve watched almost all your videos on here. I think this was probably one of the best convos I’ve seen between you, Stuart and a student
100% agree.

All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one." We are corrupted beings, we all have evil in our hearts. Though we may not murder, or steal, or whatever we think is a big no, no, the evil we think in our hearts on a daily basis is corrupt. It is by CHRIST ALONE that we find salvation! All the evil I have done and thought... oh, how loving and merciful He is and we don't deserve it! He loves us so much to DIE for us, thank Him and praise Him! Peace and blessings!
Well said.
How could any rational person possibly believe 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.

Understanding of God? Bible is objectively corrupt. Not me saying this, but Christian scholars.
Also check out The Holy Quran. it's the missing link for our health & happiness. It's the only book where yhwh himself speaks directly. Thus it's the manual of use of the human machine. It's no joke. It's pretty potent because it contains mathematical paterns beyond human ability & references to modern human scientific knowledge(link in my channel's infos section). Prophet Muhammad was the prophet of Deut18:18 , John1:21 & John16:13 who led us to all the truth. Blessings 😉💗

As a Christian woman of colour who has lived in a low income household for most of my life - I totally disagree with the idea that I strengthened my faith in Christ just to rebuttal the "white man's approach". How ignorant and even racist. As a woman of colour, I have never been oppressed, and I have always believed in God. I grew in my faith because I wanted a relationship with God, I wanted to know who he was, I wanted to understand what he did for me and what he excepts of me. I wanted to know what the truth was. People who just spew this kind of nonsense are the ones who are brainwashed. Praying that God opens the mind of that gentleman and all the students questioning the Great I AM!
Truth? Christianity doesn't even make sense. A child wouldn't even believe it if not forced. Keep searching if you truly looking for the truth
@@zambot264 and what makes sense? I have found the Truth. I don't know what you mean by forced, but every parent "forces" their world view on their child. The child then grows up and finds his/her own path. I have always been free to think and believe what I want. The best way to live and the Truth is found in the Christian faith... not Islam, not Hinduism or Atheisim, etc. You seem lost ... I shall pray for you.
@@zambot264 and what has made sense in your life? I asked and said what you just said. And you're in your right to make that assessment, we human beings carry doubt. But if you look back at your life and lay out your experiences, and if you can point out the moments where you were given what you thought you wantes but was later taught a harsh lesson that you weren't yet ready for it, that is the proof of God.
God will give you will you can handle because he knows you can handle it. Even if you're lost in your faith or never had it. If you can comprehend good and evil, you begin to understand God. Do animals have free will, empathy, compassion, discernment of good and evil? No. We are not animals, we are a unique set of beings on Earth, if that doesn't point to a greater power, then nothing matters and you should go fuck and kill whoever because the notion of good and evil becomes meaningless in the face of Chaos.

@@jameslang1367well, he apparently didn’t do that for Adam and Eve since they didn’t know what Good and Evil before committing their first “Sin”, and yet they were still punished for it. How can you punish people for doing Evil, such as disobeying God, when you don’t even know it’s Evil to disobey God in the first place?
Also, worshipping ourselves? Get over yourself, we don’t worship ourselves as some narcissistic people who thinks we are better than God. We just don’t believe in him, and that lack of belief logically creates a a difference in values between me and someone such as yourself.

1. To bare a “son” out of wedlock is a SIN, was “God” and Mary MARRIED? Then you are accusing “God” of sin
2. Your “New Testament” is the GREEK translation of the Hebrew Book of Isaiah and “THOSE” from Israel, who translated the Hebrew into Greek, REPLACED YaH The Heavenly Father with the Greek god ZEUS, where the name “jesus/he-ZEUS” and the “virgin birth” BLASPHEMY came from.
Now, PLEASE, go back and read what I shared
So encouraging to watch the crowd slowly but steadily growing as the discourse unfolds. A fantastic exchange and beautifully handled.
This video should go viral! What an amazing day for this guy talking to Cliffe. I really hope he sits down and reads the Word. Great job by Cliffe and his friend describing the Word and Jesus.
Cliff is sharp!!!... His display on "repeatability" blew my mind
I love the comment at 11:09 “it hasn’t happened again” :) sometimes we don’t realize what we say. I love watching deniers not yet in their walk with Christ, speak. They slip in ways they don’t recognize. I used to as well, I was once a blasphemer, denier and very blind. I rarely listen to secular music anymore but when I do, I hear love songs to God himself yet those people don’t quite recognize it. Their hearts yearn for him so desperately. I wish they knew him, I pray they know him, I pray that we all end up in heaven, rejoicing in heavenly voices and shouting out in cheer to our Lord almighty for rescuing and redeeming us from our pits of sin and death. All hail the almighty Lord our God and Master Jesus Christ. ♥️
Amazing type of a preaching platform, profounf conversations, respectfully and objectively articulated. A real kingdom of God ambassador you guys are.
Learned a lot. Love from Botswana. Shalom
My guy. 👊
no way, i watch your channel man. cant believe i saw u here god bless
I tell you this. That young man does NOT want to believe that Jesus is real because for some reason homosexuality IS the big one. I can say that because I was in his boat for MORE THAN half my life 12-40 (I just turned 41, and no long want to practice that lifestyle) Out of ALL of my sins this one is the ONLY one you feel when one is confronted about it. I never felt the drinking, drugs, I felt bad when I lied I hated it cheated in games, tests etc, gossiped, you name it. None of those sins had weight to it the way this one is. And I wasn't even the type to see it as my identity. More like I really really love her, and I don't want to let it go, but knowing we ought not to be and not wanting to let go. Boy I just can even explain it here,, either way HE KNOWS, he really knows he just doesn't want to let it in cause he doesn't want to let go of what he likes. I hope I made sense.
Wonderful evangelism. Amen

i've watched all your'll videos the way your'll speak and so articulate with the words you use. when i try to talk to people about this i feel like i get to emotional and sensitive when speaking i've always ask jesus to help me with that but its always the same thing. but i think its to build me up.

It’s impossible to be intelligent and spiritually minded at the exact same time. After all, we, Christians, have seen the light and those who believe differently than us ~ haven’t. Our selfish ego blindly drives us to passionately persuade others who are different than us to think, reason and believe just as we do. God is Love, not Ego!

I love how the girl in the blue with Gospel shirt on (Morgan) kept shaking her head indicating (saying no, she disagree) with what the guy next to her is saying about reincarnation and other religions etc.
The guy who believes in karma answered his own question when he said that Jesus was, "so exact". That's the whole reason God chose a ppl, (The Jews) in the 1st place, so that we, (Gentiles) would have a precise knowledge of what God expects. Jesus personifies this precision by giving us the best definitions of love, truth & how to live, w/His life example.
Nonsence an omniscient omnipotent omnibenevolent God would not have a "preferred people" but would treat all the same. _"precise knowledge of what God expects"_ 😂🤣🤣🤣 please don't make me laugh. I think the requirement for apologists, biblical scholars and the vast array of conflicting and contradictory moral conclusions that are derived from christian theology more than adequately demonstrates the absurdity of your statement.
Christianity is separated into thousands of denominations. Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist, Apostolic, Methodist - the list goes on. Estimations show there are more than 200 Christian denominations in the U.S. alone.
According to Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, there exist roughly 43,000 Christian denominations worldwide in 2012. That is up from 500 in 1800 and 39,000 in 2008 and this number is expected to grow to 55,000 by 2025.
Do they all agree about the trinity ?
Is the pope the head of the church?
Can priests marry ?
Birth control ?
Sexuality?
Can women be ordained ?
How to attain salvation?
The nature of mary ?
Dispensationalism vrs covernantalism
Freewill vrs predestination ?
Eternal security ?
Faith vrs works ?
Heaven ?
Hell?
Evolution?
Alcohol?
Literal or aligorical?
I'm going to stop here because I could literally go on for hours. They disagree and have different opinions with regard to all of the above that's precisely WHY they have different denominations. *ITS ALL SUBJECTIVE*
All these different gods and denominations past and present offer differing morality that has nothing to do with human wellbeing but often contradict and conflict with each other on almost every issue.
If YOU want to claim your particular god as the objective reference point for morality. You first have to demonstrate *objectively* that YOUR particular god EXISTS and is infact THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and *not merely the only true god in your subjective opinion*
That he is "MORAL" ( what standard did you use to judge this ? )
Are all the other gods and denominations other than yours false and yours true If so prove it . otherwise you offer nothing but a *subjective opinion on morality*
*CAN YOU DO THIS YES OR NO* ??
Please note if you are unwilling or unable to answer this basic question, then at least have the honesty to recognise the hypocrisy of your position.
I feel like I finally found exceptional explanations that incorporate everything about God and Christianity. The speaker gave wholesome explanations. Thank you!!! Thank God!!!
Jesus is true when he says "they hate me with out a cause". Eventhough, the young man was respectful in his conversation but he made it clear he doesn't want Jesus to be true. Not only that, he wants Jesus to earn his trust eventhough he did it 2000 years ago by dying in the cross for the sins of all human beings.
Very sad with these young generation, they pretend as ethical and open minded but foolishness is what all they have. "professing to be wise but they become fools in their hearts"!
My understanding is that Jesus died to appease God's wrath and sense of retributive justice. We don't want or need a blood sacrifice. It doesn't help anyone.

What God are you talking about
The second question is… if God created everything why did he create evil? Does Light create darkness? Does heat create cold? No and No. God did not create evil. We can study light and heat but we can only study them to understand their absence which leaves darkness and cold. We must know God because he is Good before we can know evil. We must know Truth to know the lie.
Where there is no light there is darkness. Where there is no heat there is cold. Where there is no truth there are lies. Where there is no God there is Evil.
I'm sorry but do you not realise that it was GOD that created evil on the first place. ?
👇👇👇👇
Isaiah 45:7
7 *"I form the light, and create darkness I make peace, and create EVIL I the Lord do all these THINGS"*
Do you really believe that a god then 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.
💌 My dear, you have a polarized view that separates light from darkness. They are not separate. They appear to be so, but are not. For God DIRECTLY creates good and INDIRECTLY creates evil. They both come from God as the Source of all things. If God is not the author of good and evil, then God is not Soveriegn ! Think about that.🤔
In Isaiah 45:7 God declares, *I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.*
God allows evil, which He indirectly created to take its course. He in His *Divine Wisdom* doesn't stop suffering. Because we are here for a short time. And we are here to be developed and tested. For there is no possible way we can grow up and mature without trials and tribulations. Just receiving good will spoil us and cause us to lose our souls.
Here's a fair question: 🔹️ How would God know who belongs to Him if He does not try us with evil to see our reactions? 🔹️How would God know who is loyal to Him and fit for the kingdom of heaven if He does not test us ???
I know its hard to accept. But ... nothing exist without God's permission because God is the Supreme Source of all things. *Everything in your life is for a divine reason, and making key choices for your salvation is in your hands. Life was not designed for lasting happiness. It is a great test.*
Remember that.
🙏🏽➕💜
Please read Job chapter 1 and 2, and its last chapter. It shows us how to deal with suffering.
@@mtalk828 What utter piffle, he doesn't stop suffering because _"we are here for a short time and we are here to be developed and tested"_ you say 🤮🤮🤮

Love the answers they are giving, very well spoken 👏🏽. Glory be to the LORD & Savior Jesus Christ. We all have a date with death; and Jesus gave us a way to eternal life. 🙏🏽
“I don’t believe in ghosts, like Casper.” That’s right Cliff. They’re called demons, which most certainly DO EXIST.
I think he was refering to dead peoples spirits who wonder the earth looking for people to haunt. I don't believe that either. However, I have heard Cliffe say he believes that demons are trying to harm people. And I believe this as well. In addition, we have angelic assistance, and the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit to help us through life.
demons don't exists either, nor do lepricons, fauns, mermaids or dragons.. ( well revelations speaks of a dragon, so you "believers" MUST agree that dragons are real ).. good luck with your manmade fairytale-religion 🤣
Some people don't understand that we are already in paradise. We are free and we can do pretty much everything in life and God gave us all the blessings. Some people are unfortunate but there's always a way and help if they need them..
How to find the right God? Same way you find reality with evidence, testing, reason, logic & objectivity.
@@ChrisTheKing172 Irrelevant to the method, this method is how we find objective reality yet not every person finds reality or agrees on it, still the method works as it finds what's true on its own and this does not require personal agreement nor does it require a 100% same answer.
@@ChrisTheKing172 Christian, Muslim, Atheist (No God) each is the same sharing the belief they believe is true.
But the truth of the matter is the only one that shouldn't exist in an age of science & knowledge is the Atheist (No God) position.
God is just a title meaning First, creator, sustainer, it is however a title that people have a lot of baggage with so rather than use that title I will use a synonym of that title "Source".
A source does not need to be able to think or feel or be personal or have personhood, but a source a first that results in a chain that creates and sustains the universe is required.
Universe either started requiring a source or the universe is eternal in which it is the source.
Either way a source is needed each group may call this source something different and claim different things about it but each group agrees a source is required so the only position that should logically not exist is the Atheist (No Source) position, we can dispute about features, attributes, functions of the source but we cannot logically deny a source exists.
Just to be ahead of the whole Atheist meaning, people say they're Atheist but what they should say is they are Anti-Theist because that is generally what they are, I just used what most will understand and even added (No God)/(No Source) for clarity and I will provide even more clarity and define the positions so you can understand how it is not lack of belief but a lack of consideration that makes someone an atheist aka the ignorant position.
All people are Atheists, same as: All criminals are innocent - True for every crime they didn't commit except that is not how we operate, one is enough to be something. 1 crime = Criminal, 1 Child = Parent, 1 Answer = Apologist. Atheist is a passive position that a baby or child has until they ask, God? At which point God has entered the world view thus no longer passive, no longer atheist, it's like virginity once its gone you never get it back. You than become either Anti-Theist, Agnostic or Theist.
Follows no God but rejects at least 1 God claim = Anti-Theist
Follows at least 1 God, rejects all other God claims = Theist
Considers God but doesn't accept or reject any God claim = Agnostic
Doesn't Consider any God claim at all = Atheist
The reality of the situation is true on its own and does not require you to agree thus disagreeing because you think, feel or want different is meaningless, so if you just want to disagree and argue than you're wasting your time as your thoughts, wants or feelings on the matter do not affect it at all.
@@ChrisTheKing172 I am answering your questions of what and why.
How do you find objective morality? The same way you find objective reality.
Reality is what three or more in isolation can agree on without conspiring = Objectively true.
With objective truths it doesn't matter if you agree with them or not that is the beauty of them and why they work e.g. Take a tree ask three different people separately one at a time to describe that thing over there if they describe the same thing then that thing is objectively real, with only two people one could be colour blind leading to two opposing reports "it's a blue thing", "it's a red thing", that is why a minimum of three is needed.
The more people aka the majority who report the same information on what that thing over there is without conspiring (Talking to each other) reveals that thing is real aka reality and that means it's an objective truth which is how you were able to discover it to be real in the first place.
(Note: Discovering the truth not creating it)
Similarly you don't find morality by asking people what they will allow to happen to others you find morality by observing what they won't allow others to do to them.
A thief will say stealing from people is fine but don't steal from them = Stealing is wrong.
You then apply the majority filter to this as you will find some want to be stolen from but the majority position is stealing from them is wrong = Stealing is wrong.
Now just like the colour blind person there is people with deviances or issues which will make them Atypical so when we take stock of morality just like we did with reality we find there are objective truths even though these truths are not 100% agreed upon nor is that agreement required as the truth is revealed in the majority just like the truth of the tree was revealed in the majority. This holds true for just about everywhere meaning all people couldn't conspire with all people and it couldn't be taught to them as some had never had outsiders until that time, yet even though the different peoples of the world are separate and different from each other in so many ways when compared it reveals a unknowing consensus among the peoples on morality, steal from them but not from me (stealing is wrong), I can cheat on you but you cannot cheat on me (adultery is wrong), take their life not mine (murder is wrong).
This unknown consensus reveals there is indeed objective morality just like how the unknown consensus among the peoples revealed there is indeed objective reality.
(Note: Truth found not made)
There is a underlying morality that the world agrees on without conspiring = Objectively true.
@@ChrisTheKing172 Put two basic definitions together and you get man made = Supernatural. Thus a Supernatural source aka God is required.
Nature definition: the physical world and everything in it that is not made by people.
(Humans do things beyond natures ability)
Supernatural comes from the Latin word supernaturalis, meaning beyond nature.
Humans do things beyond nature =
Humans do Supernatural things.
Supernatural cannot come from nature as it is Beyond Nature thus requiring a supernatural source aka God.
How basic observations lead to God:
Mind- Supernatural events need supernatural sources, surgery is a supernatural event which comes from the human mind thus the human mind is supernatural, its source pointing to a God/god like being. (Supernatural = Beyond nature)
Body- Space matter and time began to exist which requires a source beyond space matter and time pointing to a God/god like being.
Spirit- In order for objective Morale laws to exist there needs to be a standard of absolute good to be able to measure anything less results in subjective Morales this points to a God/god like being.
You don't have to believe anything at all exists but you behave as if cars in the road exist because that is what the evidence suggests so you treat it as if it exists. I believe these observations is all that is needed for us to behave as if God exists and if there is a God we should do all we can to find and understand this being just like we would if evidence of any other life is found.
I would then suggest the Bible is a excellent starting place since it indicates that Mind, Body and Spirit is the image of God and is the image man was made in, as this is what we observe in the world since the claim and observation match that is itself evidence for the Bible that evidence considered with the claim that the Bible is God introducing himself to man shows this would be a smart starting place to seek God.
@@hiddenrambo328 I think you're leaving gaps here.
Specific religions contradict each other. So they are not all the same.
If there is no being who has the personal component ie is there is no one involved, the free choice paradigm exists with little foundation.
It is because we have free will given so that we can free choose and love, do as the lord wishes and do good to other.
Without God, there is no obligation to do good. Without God, all things are permissible, and killing and raping are not moral atrocities they just simply are.
It's so cool seeing Cliffe smile when Stuart presents his points
An individuals genuine faith in Jesus Christ has everything to do with who Jesus says He is, not about human ethnicities. Only Jesus Christ can combat and demolish racism and all other forms of hate.
Luke 10:27 💝
"So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

Why do ppl always blame God for the evil in the world? Instead of blaming the rightful owner and creator of evil, they blame God.
I never blame any god for evil actions. But then again, I am not 'people'. I am simply an individual person.
When good things happen, it's because of God. When bad things does, it's because of human nature. How convenient :)
The reason why people always looks at God when something evil happens is because God is in full control of everything. Satan cannot blink an eye without God allowing him to do so.
This is why the question why there is so much evil, pain and suffering if there is a loving all powerful God is the biggest question there can be and as of right now, there are no answer to it.
@Our Savior We all born as atheists. The fact that you then chose to believe one of ten thousand other religions are enough to be skeptical in any supernatural events. Bible contradicts itself many times. And is scientifically inaccurate.
I don't need god to know good from evil. The fact that people like you need a book like that as a moral guidance, is scary.
@Our Savior What did Jesus said when he died?
Cliff we all can hear God, but only few actually hears God, because they have worked a pure heart, and we can only hear God thru a pure heart.
we have the ability to tell when someone cannot hear God , because he/she lacks a pure heart. To get a pure heart one must resist all sin and seek God, fasting, praying and reading the Word of God .
The difference between believing in all the Hindu gods vs. believing in Jesus is that all the other gods were created beings. The God of the Bible is outside of creation, He always existed, and is seen in the person of Jesus Christ. Atheists may think of Jesus as just another god, that science can eventually explain away, like the Greek god of lightning. But this is not the God of the Bible. God is eternal, the Creator of everything, and Jesus is our Creator (see John 1, Colossians 1, and Hebrews 1).
I believe the Hindu gods and goddesses, and other religions as well, are just demons self proclaiming they are gods... They always wanted to be like God..they can do stuffs, like the priests with Moses did miracles, but only the true God prevail.
@@ssv7195 I think that as well, but we can also create false gods in our head. Anything we choose to worship, becomes a false god.
But, you are right Ephesians 6:12 talks about some of them.
This is an excellent discussion! Thanks Cliff ❤️
All that evil comes from the angel Lucifer who chose to use his (freewill) to sin and influence humanity to sin with him. We have a redeemer in Jesus Christ. Yes Jesus rose HE'S GOD The Almighty. Only (ONE true GOD) by definition or He wouldn't be GOD. You can't prove He doesn't exist because HE DOES.
John 14:6 👑
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 8:44
"You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it"
awesome stuff
“Jesus is here in the form of the Holy Spirit”… Can you please explain this Cliffe? Are you saying this in the sense that both Jesus and the Spirit are God. Or are you saying that Jesus, in some way, became the Spirit or is the Spirit, rather than two separate persons of the Trinity?
I think he means that Jesus is here in the form of the holy spirit because both are God. They're not the same person of course, but both are God.
John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.
It might be that the girl would claim that Jesus is in heaven right now sitting at the right side of God the Father but the Holy Spirit is here with us as Jesus promised Him to send to us.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all one God in 3 separate forms... Just like Ice, Water, and Steam are all H2⁰ in 3 separate forms.

First of all, I doubt if any of these students really understand what Christianity is, especially since it was labeled as religion. So I would hope that both Cliffe and Stuart would explain why Christianity is "different" than religion, explain what it is, what God did for us, and explain as to why false materialistic/prosperity christian shows are not to be misidentified as Christianity.
Second, I don't understand why Cliffe is negative about American nationality. Our founding was based on religious freedom, and our founding documents (our Declaration of Independence, and our Constitution) were without doubt in some way inspired by God. God recognizes borders, rightful government, nations, etc. Our nation is unique and if our laws were properly followed we would be and still are the best nation in the world.
Agreed
I agree, but there is a lot of corruption in our government and there is evidence that the Founding Father's may have been of the freemasonry, and there is plenty of evidence that freemasonry is against Christ.
Freedom of religion, is merely something created so that many different denominations of Christians did not face oppression or exclusion due to the dominant religion or organization of the day.
This could be good, this could be bad. There is a lot of bickering in how best to follow Christ. In our churches today in the states, we face usurping by Marxist agendas that were planted over 100 years ago. This turn the other cheek stuff and tolerance of things clearly against Christ's teachings got us to this point. Allowing separation of Church and state runs against what Christ wants: a unified Heaven and Earth.
Indeed, Adam's states that this Constitution was created for a moral and religious people. People are ditching religion, and we are fast approaching Sodom and Gammorah.
I do like Cliffe's videos.

So there’s zero documents of this nation proclaiming affiliation to a god and not inspired by god at all. Freedoms OF AND FROM religion. However there IS a document that states we are indeed NOT a Christian nation. You should check out the treaty of Tripoli, article 11. It reads;
Article 11 of the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli, which declares that “the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,” has long been a fixture of debates over the separation of church and state.
@@jsk5633 And exactly what did George Washington do after his swearing in? What did they do as they struggled in writing our Constitution? Separation of church and state does not mean separation from God or from Christianity.
