- Cliffe Knechtle has a great conversation with college students at a campus in the southwest US.
The "Give Me An Answer" ministry began as an outgrowth of the dialogues Cliffe Knechtle has had with students on various university campuses throughout the United States. These universities include the University of Maine, Harvard, MIT, University of Florida, University of Texas, University of Wisconsin, University of Minnesota, University of California Los Angeles, University of California San Diego, Berkeley, Stanford, University of Hawaii and the University of Washington. Cliffe spoke on these campuses in front of the Student Union or Library at noon for five to ten minutes. At the close of his initial remarks, he'd open up the time for questions and answers, which usually turned into a two to four hour dialogue with students. His crowd size ranged from 25 - 500 students at a time, and between classes, new students would join the discussion. This is an extremely effective way to reach a large number of university students with the Gospel of Christ.
Cliff is a legend, give this man a trophy.
God will give him a crown
Luke 12:11-12 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
The Holy Spirit is the flame that causes the light to shine from the lamp. The lamp does not shine without a light.

Cliffe is a champion in Christ Jesus🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯
I really enjoy and appreciate his videos. You can tell that he has a passion to spread the word and have people read the Bible and know the truth about Jesus Christ. God bless him.
Pastor Cliff is one of the Best Christian Faith defender.
Funny, he points out the contradictions in all other religions except christianity.
@@defenestratefalsehoodswhat contradictions?
@@Skylerrelyks93 if you line the bible up to real proven history we get Matthew 2, says Jesus was conceived during the reign of Herod and was a young child when mary and Joseph fled the country. Herod died in 4 BC. In Luke 2 after Quirinius became governor of Syria in 6 AD(actual history that can be proven) mary and Joseph went back for the census while she was pregnant. Jesus was born before 4 BC and still in the womb for the census in 6 AD.
@@Skylerrelyks93 then you have the contradictions of pauls teachings.
Paul teachings go against god.
Galatians 5:2 & 6 2Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if you have been circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.
6 For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails over anything, but only faith which works through charity.
Vs.
Jesus who came to fulfill the old laws
Genesis 17:10 This is my covenant, which you shall observe, between me and you, and your offspring after you: All the males among you shall be circumcised.
@@defenestratefalsehoodsGood one , I will get back to you on this
Indeed. Jesus is the TRUTH. Not religion!
Hello. I just happened to see this video and your comment. Could you please tell me why you are against religion? Cliffe didn't really elaborate too much. Thanks.
@@brotherdamien1804 because only God can save.
@@onestepaway3232 I know that, but doesn't God want us to be part of a family of believers, kind of in imitation of the Holy Family and the Trinity? It just seems like unity is part of God's nature. Well, that's what I was wondering anyway.
@@brotherdamien1804 of course, but what does that have to do with religion?
@@onestepaway3232 I'm just iffy about what the difference is. Isn't religion just a large community of believers?
Good chat with Richard! 💯
I love that I can click on these videos & theres no ad before the video starts. God is good!
Absolutely love these videos and love your work and ministry Cliff. I've learned so much through these videos from Cliff and hearing the students at these campuses. Be blessed.
What exactly did you learn? This is a lot a talking without saying anything....for a believer this is just what they want to hear....I don’t want to hear what I like! I want to hear what it is!
@@echoe4806 I'm hearing the arguments the students bring and Cliffs answers. As a Christian it helps me to learn how to answer some of the tough questions that are posed to Christians. It helps me think about issues in different ways. I'm hearing what it is also not just what I want to hear. I want to hear the questions from the students also. They aren't all wrong, they have some very good questions and valid questions that need good answers
@@echoe4806 I honestly don’t hear what I want to hear. When he doesn’t know something he says that. You’ll definitely learn watching his videos and many others , but Cliff and his son has helped me a lot on my journey of learning
@@t.a.s9014 What exactly do you mean by learning? I can understand religion as a form of philosophy …moral ethics etc…but to take Bible literally it is very hard for a modern mind that is eager to conquer the outer space, find answers for the unknown etc. Even kids are hard to convince without evidence and logic these days ….unless you force them to believe what you want them to believe…through fear and obedience.Science doesn’t do that….
@@echoe4806oh yeah you are such a modern mind that you think humans were meant to explore the cosmos lol, there is a reason as to why other stars and planets are light years away.
Science is a wonderful tool of knowledge but unfortunately it will only get you so far because reality isn't just matter and energy.
Thank you Pastor Cliffe.
God bless you for your consistent faith and commitment to this ministry.
Blessings and gratitude from England
I have learned a lot...
Thankyou Cliff. Your Q & A are my go to for steading my walk in Christ.
Thanks, that was great to listen to, Makes you really think.
Thank you so much I love watching your videos I learn a lot. God is so good ! Love God Love people
My caregiver is from Rwanda and I have adopted her children as my grandchildren. They are from Kigali although some of her children were born here. The rest of her family is back there and it is now a safe place to be so we are all going to go back to see her parents and her husband and the rest of her family there. I am going to assist her in getting her husband to America to live. All of my family is dead and we love each other like true family. She calls me mama and I am only 12 years older than her! We talk every night on the phone and say I love you before we go to bed both my caregiver and her children. This is what family means.
Wow, what a great video. Cliffe briefly discussed how we see a lot more justice in America and how people in other countries look for that justice, but never receive it and are more likely to believe in God (terrible paraphrase, I know). I think he's so spot on though. I think it is very difficult for people in the west to need any kind of god. We live in a society where life is actually pretty good. Even the poor among us (not all) are overweight. Why would a society that lacks almost nothing ever have a need for God. No surprise that there's a supposed decline of Christianity in the west.
I understand your point and think there’s definitely validity to it, but as the Bible says it, “they will call what is good evil, and what is evil they will call good” I can also see a lot of that rising in the U.S. and many other countries, as far as living conditions and having plentiful access to “essentials” your absolutely correct.
I'm learning a lot from your videos thank you! May GOD give you good health and your family and continue sharing GOD's love to people.
Thank you Cliff God is love Amen🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
Praise God! He loves us all and values us so much that He sent His son. “ But God demonstrates His own love towards us in that while we were still sinners Christ died to for us. “ Romans 5:8.
Thank you I have learned so much from this debate God bless you
Thank you!
Thank GOD ( I AM THAT I AM ) in the name of JESUS :)
God told Moses to tell the Hebrews I AM WHO I AM has sent you.” Exodus 3:14. He is I AM WHO I AM.
Great discussion Cliff!! Man I greatly desire a mind like yours.
Pastor got deep in this one. Two solo Sermons. 2 Timothy 4:2
Oh my, it's like he reached deep down in that guy

Jesus is King!!
By the way I just want to let you know, I really this TH-cam channel. I'm encouraged. I do want to say though that we do not accept him, he accepts us because we repent and put our faith in trust in him.
JESUS is the WAY
The way I was taught it, the ‘3/5 compromise’ was an anti-slavery measure. It was not a ruling on the value of life, but on governmental representation; if the slave-holding states were able to count their slaves as residents of their state, the slave holding states would gain more influence in the federal government the more slaves they held. Because the slaves could not vote, this basically means that the slave holders would not just have one vote each, but would effectively vote for all of their slaves. Reducing the ‘value’ of a slave in this way reduces the influence of the slave holders.
So another words there still slaves? It just comes off like you're trying to marginalize the atrocity of slavery.
@@codeblood2000
Haha you had me going there for a bit - it’s hard to tell without being able to hear tone so I thought you were serious.
Edit: Still not entirely sure - I think that was a joke, but am willing to explain if it wasn’t, or just see: th-cam.com/video/giBRnKRWR6M/w-d-xo.html
I’ve heard that before. It reminds me of how Cliffe mentions how God weaned ppl off slavery. Not entirely similar I guess but I understand
Yes, but still, do you ever want to be considered 3/5ths of another race, not me
Take segregation in Alabama, that’s a better analogy to understand what Cliffe is trying to say , apartheid in S.Africa is another & he uses both
@@bigtxsdude
It seems you didn’t understand my point. I was not arguing against Cliffe’s point - only with the example he used in making it. If I say that violent threats are bad and use your comment here as an example, you can agree with my point while pointing out that my example was incorrect.
My point about that example was that they were NOT being treated as 3/5 of other people due to that rule; the ratio had nothing to do with their treatment or value - it only effected census data used for determining congressional representation of the states, and in that case if I were them I would wanted to be counted as zero.
Praise Yeshua
🕎✡🙏🦁
This is the true gospel. God is love, but He is als just, which is why He sent His Son to suffer and die on the cross. Because of Jesus Christ, anyone can repent and be saved. Whoever does not believe in Him, will certainly have to answer on the day of judgment.
Cliffe, thank you sir for mentioning Serbia, we been through real hell in past centuries, not to mention 2nd world war when 700 000 serbs were killed in concentration camps (Jasenovac, Jadovno) on the worst possible ways that human mind cannot even imagine, even thousands of kids were killed... Justice is crying out loud here, but as christians we never lose hope, we know that our Lord and Savior will judge them one day, when we mentions our elders we like to call them Heavenly Serbia, couse im sure we will fill one "big" quarter of New Jerusalem, very soon. Thank you once again for all you do, God Bless!
In Romans 1 we are without excuse. Read like chapter 1 verse 16 through to the end of the chapter which is to 32. We are without excuse😊
The truth is testable, repeatable, and reliable.
Faith is not.
Well like Cliffe would say “you can’t get Abraham Lincoln in a test tube and have him assassinated” . So not all truth is science
@@michaelk7348 what utterly pathetic reasoning, you cant get jesus in a test tube and resurrect him so...........
The oldest church in the world is in Ethiopia..not Europe!!. Africa had the Gospels before the Europeans did well before Rome converted and Christianity was founded in the middle east by a middle eastern Jewish man not a white Roman man!!...There are so many misconceptions about where Christianity begin and how it spread, people just repeat the same old slogans and never bother to check out the historical facts...it's intellectually dishonest.
I see the great editing of this video Cliffe gets to not answer the first young man's question and switch to a short sermon. I see the comments are really just fans and not looking objectively and actually critiquing what Cliffe is asserting. I would suggest watching Cliffe debate Matt, Aron Ra, and a host of others who completely destroyed cliffe and Stuart's bad arguments. CLIFFE ALL ATHEISTS DONT THINK THE SAME for the hundredth time. Also learn what agnostic means.
19:10 Serbians, Croatians, Bosnians, Albanians all did a lot of warcrimes some more documenter then others
I'm curious about him saying he believes Jesus is reliable versus Christianity. That makes me think about the whole debate between Jesus vs. Paul - works/ the will of God versus grace alone.
I'd love any opinions to broaden my perspective.
The Bible is perfect. Man's interpretation is not. ✝️🙏✌
22:25
When you start saying “not paying taxes” is immoral, you need to justify how a Ruling Class of people is righteous in demanding that you pay them a large percentage of YOUR labor earnings. Income Tax is a well disguised form of slavery that most people overlook.
She is said about this very same thing give to Caesar what is Caesar's give to God what is God's amen!
Jacob Fongemie You miss my point.
@@twelvedozen5075 clarify then please.
Jacob Fongemie Just reread the original comment and respond to the concept stated.
@@twelvedozen5075 but you misunderstand me I don't disagree with you about the taxes that's part of the reason why we escaped to England but at the same time biblically speaking unless it goes against God were to do it was a difficult for me in a couple of things but it's true. And Jesus said in the Bible give to Caesar what is Caesar's or gift for a conference was our governments to claim and get the God will just go doesn't mean money that means our time or Harkin our devotion and primarily first all of it goes to God and what's left goes to the rest and we do it lovingly without picking bickering but trust me we're all in the same boat it is like a slavery class you are correct the Romans did it many others did it but we're supposed to do it by God's command and let him and his righteousness Clothe us. Just came out okay because I'm speaking into a microphone.
Im from Serbia Cliffe, orthodox christian. I beliave that Jesus Christ is our Lord and waiting for his second coming to judge albanians, muslim bosnians, croatians and even serbs who done soo much evil and slaughter too many innocent people in 90s war. Day of judgement is so important for me cuz if there is no judgement day, evil would win and those people would get away with murdering, raping and slaughtering innocent kids. JESUS IS GOD ❤❤❤YESHUA HAMASHIACH❤❤❤
If Apostle Paul, Prophet Zachariah, Ezeikel, Luke was a combination thats Cliff exactly
Abdel Qissi from "Wrong Bet" hasn't aged a bit.
wow...Richard got schooled ...God us good.
The "3/5s law" wasn't about race. Slave owners wanted to use every slave on their property to count as much as a citizen. Northerners understood they would chat the voting system and installed the 3/5ths clause to not get railroaded. These were not free people being counted as 3 for every 5.
Wait !!! Did he say there will be many people in heaven who never heard of Jesus , some who were before Jesus.
So, can it be some people who are living good lives are heaven bound until people like cliff come around to give them a chance to reject a being they never heard of condemning them to hell ???
that doesn't seem like the right question, I think if you started first with "if there's a God... is he a just God?" from there you can logically assume how people who never heard of Jesus may go to heaven or may choose to reject who Christ was and select an eternity without him. The problem is we don't know lol.
@@JeezyF to both of you know the answer is people who did not know Christ before Christ walk the earth new the father and it was either too except the father or refuse the father name of the Christ walk the earth either we were denied Christ we did not the father of Christ even said that if we accept Christ we accept the father and their laws and their love.
no im sure this day and age most people in the world have heard of jesus exept tribes and a few other exeptions
A person who hasn't heard of Christ or rejects Christ has less than 8% of being saved. Meanwhile, a person who has faith in Christ has at least 99% chance of being saved.
Acts 17:29-31
Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone-an image made by human design and skill. 30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. 31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead
Cliffe telling a normal story, 9:51, then....he died
Second comment and I say I like soft chocolate chip cookies.
Cliff has such a white-hot love for these college kids.
First!
First to point out you're first. 😉
@@j2mfp78 LOL
Of course truth is real, and you don’t get to truth by making up a supernatural story and blindly believing it.
Wasn't Jesus "middle eastern"? I'm not asking, just saying that people seem to miss this.
Probably. Wasn’t called “Jesus “ though. But with no contemporary accounts or any historical data to support his existence why bother ourselves with him? Same goes for Moses, Abraham, Noah et al
@@rovert46 Obviously, his name was Yeshua, a very common Jewish name at the time. And the evidence is so overwhelming that Jesus was a real, historical person that not a single historian would question this. Swing and a miss, bud.
Jeezy F yeah, Josephus Tacitus references are trotted out to authenticate his existence, but the person they refer to could have been anyone of that time, and any such accounts certainly do not mention any extraordinary events as claimed in the bible. Unless you know of any supporting evidence for the resurrection/the ascension, or virgin birth.
Jesus was a Jew.
I see from your 'Statement of Faith' on your church's website that you do not mention conscious, eternal torment of those who reject Jesus Christ - are you an annihilationist?? If so, what about Satan/antichrist/false prophet & demons??
Truth is real......and the truth is......no gods exist. :)
So then a person doesn't need to follow or know Jesus to get to heaven. Then Jesus is not the only way.
Where did you get that from?
Ofcourse The Bible isn't white religion. The oldest Bible is Ethiopian Bible. The Ethiopian Bible is consistent to KJ/western Bible as for places like Egpyt, Ethiopia, North África these arent white countries, European obviously.
God made a covenant to the Jewish race through Abraham. From that covenant, Through God and their true belief of God, those Jews are accounted for righteousness. “Genesis 15:6
And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.”
Order
Exodus 19:5-6 - Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: (Read More...)
Malachi 3:6 - For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Romans 9:27 - Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
Romans 1:16 - For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Covenant was not made for Gentiles so we need Christ.
No. Jews aren't exempt from salvation. They don't get a free pass
Jesus Christ claims to be God and here's the proof directly from scripture. Revelations 1:8, John 10:30, John 5:18, John 5:30, John 8:58, John 17:5, John 1:14, John 14:9, John 2:19, 1 Timothy 3:16, Collossians 2:9 and Collossians 1:16. If the Gospels are not trustworthy, then the Quran is false because the Quran teaches that the gospels are the inspired, perfectly-preserved, authoritative words of God. But if the Gospels are trustworthy, then the Quran is STILL false because it teaches contradictory, mutually exclusive facts about key issues. Here's some surahs and ayats that prove the quran confirms the Torah and the Gospels are inspired by allah. quran chapter and verses, 2:41, 2:89, 2:91, 2:121, 3:3-4, 3:50, 4:47, 5:46, 5:68, 6:114 and 15:9.
PASTOR CLIFFE IS A SCHOLAR AND THEOLOGIAN IN CHRIST JESUS MIGHTY NAME , AMEN , ALLELUIA !!! ...
He push a lie with a truth. The statement we are all equal because we are made in the image of god is only half true. First he must prove what god looks like before the can say we are made in gods image and he must prove his god exists.
We don't have to prove anything to you, run along athiest and live it out your world view.
@JohnjOcampo it dont bother me if you like to believe in fairytales. I always look for evidence because that's what I set out to find 17 years ago to find if what i believed was true. I always find people like you who get upset when asked about evidence. I will keep on my quest. You have nothing to offer so have a good day.
@@defenestratefalsehoods evidence of God's existence is everywhere, maybe open your eyes?
The order and design in the cosmos?
A single cell under a microscope?
The gift of free will?
The list goes on but then you have individuals like you who need tangible evidence in order to believe that the supernatural might just have an affecton us, it's sad how athiests reduce reality to just matter and energy.
