This is one of the most intellectual and respectful arguments I've ever heard and seen. Cliff, more so Jesus Christ Himself, is how I aspire to be, a man filled with the Holy Ghost and who exudes the gifts of the Spirit.
In all your time watching his content have you ever heard him present evidence of a god? (I mean evidence, not illogical things like his "design/order of the cosmos", where he has exactly zero evidence a god was involved with that yet he's treating it as evidence of God -- and that's even if we're generous and assume he shows the cosmos _looks_ designed (it doesn't).)
@@majm9309 The sun is at the perfect distance from earth. The earth is perfectly tilted to sustain life. Our orbit keeps us from floating away, burning, or freezing. I myself doubt that this happened by chance and I count that as evidence for the existence of a greater being than any one of us human beings.
@@RonanWestlund Did you distract to those unrelated topics because you agree we don't know a god exists? Or are you saying you have evidence a god (a) exists and (b) was involved in those topics somehow? Well if you had that, *don't hide the evidence, man, out with it!* But if you don't have that, then you don't know the explanation for why the sun is that distance, right? In fact if the sun wasn't that distance, wouldn't humans cease to exist? So then 100% of life will always -- by definition -- discover that it lives somewhere life can live. Life lives where live can live -- and it doesn't live where it can't.
The amount of videos Cliffe has and the information in them is truly a blessing! I know these videos will continue to bless people for a long time to come!
I think he would read and research on his own through books, if he really wanted the answers to his questions. He seems more interested in debate as an intellectual exercise/sport.
Kliffe is a legend, a craftsman and a critical thinker moreso excellent listening skills!!! I would leave my country to attend his sermons even though I am Catholic.
I wanna hear the guys next argument, if any. That was one of the most honest, respectable, and flawless exchanges I have ever seen in a debate. Cliffe I believe this video is not as viewed as it should be, this answers a LOT of common questions and misconceptions about Christianity, Christ, and God. Every time I watch ur videos my faith grows stronger, not because watching anything alone improves my faith, but the second I started truly taking Christianity, I started watching your videos, and every question I have had so far has been answered almost perfectly. You are an incredible Christian, and most often use citation directly from the Bible, but also use verifiable evidence and very strong logic to connect the dots, and communicate it in such a way many people can easily understand it.
Im so glad i found this guy this is my favorite kind of christian content, debates. The bible says "come let us reason together." Thats what we need to be doing as believers.
I'm completely dumbfounded by the calm attention of the students. If this were 2023, a bunch of drugged up purple hair screeching zombies would be screaming in his ear and destroying his equipment. Shouting ignorant platitudes and random "I hate Christians" phrases they read on a atheist hate blog somewhere. These kids show they can actually think about stuff and have legit questions. How far have we fallen?
It’s so amazing how all these questions that are asked especially from the black guy can be found in the Bible if he just read it a little more! Glory to God for revealing to us his word and laws!✝️
Paul was gainfully employed as a tent maker as well as a church planter. Joseph of Arimathea paid out of his wealth for Yeshua's tomb. There was a family in my first church who immigrated from Europe and established a highly successful landscaping business. They served faithfully in the church, lived exemplary lives as believers, tithed and supported Christ-centered ministries, extended hospitality, visited the invalids and widows, fed the hungry, sheltered the homeless, and so on...and managed to remain rich
That guy being so confused about love...made me laugh and then actually feel really bad for him. But I guess people really don't understand love from others sometimes :/
Well if he's being honest about never having felt guilty about anything, he's almost certainly a sociopath. Which means he would also have a difficult time feeling or understanding the warm emotion of love.
@@jorge37325 Biblical love really isn't an emotion. "Agape", which is the love that most of the Bible holds in high regards is an action word, defined in 1 corinthians 13. The other kind of love that I see so often is "Phileo": Brotherly love.
@zacharymcleod460 totally agree. David Wood (Christian psychopath) talks about this. I was just referring to the type of love that it seemed Cliffe and the man he was talking to described. Although I could have just misunderstood what they were trying to say.
@Theo_Skeptomai They have to Lie!!! Ahhh...Richard Dawkins!😂 ✝️✝ Romans 1:20 "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"
It’s hilarious to me that people don’t understand that the whole Bible matters. They also hate the word context because context defeats their argument every single time.
This video proofs schools, society and the government have failed our children of today. There is a big difference on the way they dress, respect, and talk.
Sound and Sight of Cliffe ...hes gifted to spread his Faith in God ...to help the non-believers...hence hes an Angel ! ❤. Thank you Cliffe. ! Especially the Agnostic posers !
Everyone in this video dress so modestly and appropriately. Even the most obnoxious among the students speak with a lever of clarity and reason. I wish this was the world I grew up in.
I feel for the young man asking questions after 17:45 The further along the exchange goes, the more it seems like he is a clinical sociopath, but one that is truly seeking to understand why he is the way he is and how he can possibly correct his behavior.
Well done to the young man who described himself as agnostic .He had genuine questions and a will to find out what cliffe had to say rather than the hard heart that is only interested in undermining Christianity .The result was a very informative discussion !!!
Yeah but he didn't present evidence of a god. 1a. Design: our universe overwhelmingly _doesn't_ seem designed. (At least not for us, which is his implication.) 1b. Design: but let's say he could indicate design. Why would that be evidence of a god? It wouldn't. That's why he has to dishonestly present a false dichotomy, offering two choices (god vs. matter/energy) as though they're the only possibilities. 2. Is god living? If so, god must come from life, according to Cliffe's "life come from life" argument. If not, you already understand why his argument is dishonest. 3. Did Cliffe provide evidence of moral absolutes (objective morality)? He didn't. Well _Cliffe's opinion_ isn't evidence, only evidence is evidence. Worse, if Cliffe had evidence of moral absolutes would that indicate a god? No. Why would it? So presenting it as evidence of a god is dishonest.
@@majm9309 Firstly I disagree regarding design In short life is too vulnerable and dependant on so many different factors that without every single one being right we would die within seconds .Moving on I therefore think that there has to be an intelligent mind begind it .The universe has a begining so we have the question of first cause .put it together and we have a designer .The next question is how do we gain the identity of the designer .
@@davidmccarroll8274 Those aren't logical arguments for a god though. For "design" to be evidence of a god, you'd need to be able to actually conclude with a god. You don't even have clear evidence of design -- all you have is a universe that happens to support life, without any knowledge of how many failed universes may exist. So the fact that this is an unknown (theists aren't presenting evidence a god designed the universe) is why it's illogical to call this "evidence of god". (And often theists don't even call it that. They immediately retreat to talking about a designer. So even they seem to understand this argument doesn't really satisfy "evidence of god" at all.) For causality either (A) everything or (B) not everything had a cause * if A, an uncaused god is impossible * if B, a god isn't necessary. (Because you'd be saying any given thing might be uncaused.)
Have you ever lied, stolen, used God's name in vain, looked wuth lust? if so you need to repent today and Believe in Jesus Christ to save you from Hell and go to heaven instead
@@davidmccarroll8274 So do you agree we don't have evidence of a god? Because nobody's presenting evidence of a god (A) existing or (B) being responsible for life, or the universe, or fine tuning, or the various other things gods are said to have done. _But knowledge requires evidence._ That means because nobody can present A or B, _nobody knows gods exist._ If truth is our goal, we must only believe true ideas (and avoid believing falsehoods or unknowns). Well _not having evidence means it's unknown._ So do you have any actual evidence of a god, or are you willing to abandon belief in this idea you don't know to be true? I think you should value truth.
I've watched almost all of Cliffe videos ,...but there are still a lot of questions, I was born in a non-Christian country and I converted to Christianity but maybe because my dad is married another woman and some things were bad for me so I see Christ's teachings are perfect for me ... but I've seen Many righteous people without the Christian faith. I feel sorry for humanity .
The reason why you will see people who are good without the Christian faith is because we are all made in the image of God. Every person knows what right and wrong is, because it’s written in our hearts
Romans 3:9-20-9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. 10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; 11 there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. 12 All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”[b] 13 “Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.”[c] “The poison of vipers is on their lips.”[d] 14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”[e] 15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood; 16 ruin and misery mark their ways, 17 and the way of peace they do not know.”[f] 18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”[g] 19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
Everyone has the capability to do good and the capability to do evil. It’s all about whether the resurrection of Jesus Christ happened or not. Be careful yet open-minded and keep honestly searching for truth. The more you know the better. God bless.
*I'm 70 now and have read only the exact same copy of the King James Bible my church gave me in 1961. (This does not mean I was a King James onlyist but now I'm glad I never read any others or I might not have noticed the supernatural changes as quickly.) I had memorized many scriptures from it through the years. Then in 2014 I started seeing changes in it that I couldn't explain. I have an exceptional memory, for instance I can draw a detailed picture of my baby stroller. I had never owned a computer or heard of the "Mandela Effect" back then. But after being given my first computer on 2016, I finally found out why I had been noticing all of the oddities that I couldn't explain. I then started diligently studying what should actually be called the ''Daniel 7:25 Effect''. That's where God said He would give the antichrist the power to "change times and laws'' which we now know meant (history and scripture plus laws of physics). We're seeing many end times prophecies being fulfilled SUPERNATURALLY! This is some of the "lying signs and wonders" that God told us He would give the AC power to perform which would even deceive His very elect, if it were possible in 2nd Thessalonians chapter two!* *God said in the end of days, (NOW!) that He would send us a famine for hearing His word in Amos **8:11** and that He would give the antichrist the ability to do this in Daniel 7:25. In Daniel 12:4 & 12:9 He told him to seal his book until the end days. He told John **_not_** to seal his book because the end time is at hand in Revelation 22:10. One of the Greek definitions of seal in Strongs concordance is “to protect from Satan”. He also told us to write His words in our hearts, which meant memorize, if not word for word at least the essence of what was written, because He knew this was going to happen.* *God commanded us to "prove all things", and people **_better_** obey Him, especially on this subject. I urge you to research this. There are many brothers and sisters making videos about the changes with more proof of what was originally written and I have lots more about this in my playlist 👉 which can be found by typing in ( proof of bible change residue junkie )* 👈 *I've continued to study scripture and have grown MUCH closer to Jesus by learning what Satan has been changing. Soon Amos **8:12** will be fulfilled too, and the only way it can happen is by not being able to see these videos that document what used to be written in our bibles.* *_May God bless all who read this with eyes to see this incredible faith strengthener, and how close we are to our Saviour's return!!!!_* *P.S. Everyone is going to learn about this one way or the other. I'm just trying to keep as many people as I can from hearing Jesus explaining it to them at the Gate.* ❤✝️💪
I wish i was 70, im 22 and already have enough of this world, i just want Jesus to come already and take us to the father, but at the same time im not sure if im qualified.
@@thedanger_no one is qualified, we have all fallen short. Believe that Jesus Christ is God and trust His atonement for your sin. Repent of your sin and trust in Jesus Christ and you are saved
@Theo_Skeptomai not to speak for him, but Christ does command us to make sure we understand what we're giving our life to. Otherwise, you'll get screwed over. He does not want blind faith. If you genuinely think Christ was a liar or just didn't exist at all, don't follow him. Though apparently we have far more ancient manuscripts of the New Testament than any other documents in history and it's been followed since his supposed life. I feel with that and a few more pieces of evidence that it's more likely he was legit so i trust Christ.
my only complaint here is that we don't get to see the resolution of their discussion. ALL questions posed here were relevant and extremely important to answer and even if it took three hours or more, i would be more than willing to listen to the entire exchange to hear the whole conversation if possible and i'm sure i'm not the only one thinking this. i understand the need to limit the file size but it would be nice if the ministry would at least provide a link to the full, unedited conversation, even if it would show some foul language or unfortunate actions of some college students.
Yo, I know this vid was just uploaded, but how old is it? Why is everyone dressed like it's the early 90s?! However, the video quality looks modern. That's weird to me. BTW, this is one of the best teachings I've seen from Cliffe.
@@Brostopherr I should have known. Look how docile and normal people are. Today everyone is enraged and argumentative. My first thought should have been to look in the description
You don't have to literally spend your life wandering the earth as a homeless vagrant spreading the word of Christ to get into heaven. If you feel that you're calling then you need to settle that with Christ through prayer and meditation and be honest with what you feel like you need to do. Don't be resentful towards your calling. Also don't look at others people's calling and take that on as your own obligation. One of the men hung on the cross with Christ is dining in Paradise with him right now. That's the extent of Jesus mercy. This man had not known the Christ well until his dying breath but still he is in heaven. Very powerful guys very powerful. Trust in the Lord and he will guide us all to our destinies which ultimately ends up in heaven with him. How we get there on earth doesn't really matter as long as we pray and obey. ❤️🎉
On topic of origins of life recommend watching dr. James Tour. In short - modern science is nowhere near assembling a single simplest living cell (controlled reactions and highly sophisticated equipment being used) let alone that happening in a warm puddle by its own. Please dive in this interesting subject.
Around 23 minutes in the origin of life thing is brought up. Now, back in 1997 Cliffe probably couldn't have known this, but in more recent times James Tour, one of the world's most renowned biochemists have challenged the origin of life community. The basic story is that Darwin speculated about some primordial soup, or pond, filled with chemicals and getting struck by lightning and such. This is still taught today, heck in was in Star Trek. Well then in the fifties a scientist whose name I forget mucks about with chemicals in a lab, and manages to create something that looks like the building blocks for life. This further strengthens the theory, and today many origin of life researchers are still going at it. They express much faith that science will eventually figure it out. That's where James Tour comes in. On his youtube channel he has issued five chemical and biochemical challenges to the origin of life research. If anyone can answer just one of these questions James Tour has woved to shut down his entire channel. To this date no one has provided any kind of answer to his challenges. Anyway, look into it, but the gist of it is that it looks increasingly impossible that life arose from basic chemistry, and that wasn't know too well back in the 90s.
Atheists say that you can create life. You can create the parts of life, you cannot create the incredible complexity of a functioning simple, single cell.
The crowds seem bigger back in this time… is it just me or were more people open to discussing things more back in the day than today? It’s like our communication is slacking as we move into the future…
quisiera saber que, sucedido en la vida de ese chico agnóstico, muy inteligente muy educado, respetuoso, espero que ese mensaje que Cliffe le doy haya sido suficiente para encontrar las respuestas que su mente y su corazón deseaban.
Besides Order, Life, Moral absolute, and Love, I think we need to even back up further and consider Creation. I know that Cliffe is somewhat equating Order with Creation, but Creation deals with the fact that matter and energy exists. Nothing can not creation Creation.
29:00 But would feeling regret not indicate that there was a feeling you didn’t particularly enjoy (guilt in this sense) that would then lead to the feeling of regret? Regret can’t exist in a vacuum, the mere concept of feeling regretful implies there is a different course of action and/or feeling you would have rather taken. So in the literal sense of the word, regret could not possibly be the initial feeling felt, there would first need to be an emotion/feeling strong enough to then bring about regret into the scenario. Curious to see if people agree because I don’t think I’m wrong on that
Everyone’s so well spoken, intelligent, and well oriented. This must be from the 90s.

Cliffe is always respectful to those asking questions and always knowledgeable of which scriptures are in the Bible to turn to for the answers. This world needs more Christians like Cliffe
This man answered so many of my questions . I was lost, depressed, starving (I have eaten in a week cause stress.the literally questioning life, and what's the point. I had so many questions, and all these people brave enough to speak on camera and had so many the SAME QUESTIONS. Cliffe truly helped my faith. God, thank you, sir
We are lucky to have people like you Cliffe! You will definitely get a “well done my good and faithful servant.” God bless you Cliffe thank you for everything you do !
blessed not lucky
@@shamelssmedia4376 we are lucky to be blessed
I've seen so many videos of Cliffe but this guy with the glasses is asking questions respectfully. I appreciate that. I hope everyone does.
I wish people still acted more like this in this generation. Especially the last guy, he was incredibly open minded, you don’t find many people like that in this generation
I’ve been seeing more of cliffe recently. I was talking to my grandma the other day (she’s a Christian). She said she was so happy to hear me curious about it. She gave me a bible and I’ve started to read it. I’m not perfect and I don’t understand it all yet. But I want too. I start my journey now
Same brotha. Cliffe is so inspirational and makes me want to pursue Jesus the way he does
That’s really wholesome to hear man! I’ll be praying for you to continue with your faith journey ❤
You make so many points in ways I've never thought of and speak about the Bible in a unique way. It has helped me get closer to God and know my Bible better.
The good ol' 90s!! Cliffe, thank you for all of the work you've done. You have done so much for so many people, including myself. I love you, brother. All glory to Jesus🙏
This is one of the most intellectual and respectful arguments I've ever heard and seen. Cliff, more so Jesus Christ Himself, is how I aspire to be, a man filled with the Holy Ghost and who exudes the gifts of the Spirit.
@justingary5322
When where those days for you Justin ? Like 2010 when you where 10 years old 😂
wow it's mind blowing how clear he speaks the message like the one with Love i totally agree. May God Bless You!
Your videos are fantastic. The more I watch them, the closer I am to him and the stronger my faith is in his teachings. Don't stop!
In all your time watching his content have you ever heard him present evidence of a god? (I mean evidence, not illogical things like his "design/order of the cosmos", where he has exactly zero evidence a god was involved with that yet he's treating it as evidence of God -- and that's even if we're generous and assume he shows the cosmos _looks_ designed (it doesn't).)
@@majm9309 The sun is at the perfect distance from earth. The earth is perfectly tilted to sustain life. Our orbit keeps us from floating away, burning, or freezing. I myself doubt that this happened by chance and I count that as evidence for the existence of a greater being than any one of us human beings.
@@RonanWestlund Did you distract to those unrelated topics because you agree we don't know a god exists? Or are you saying you have evidence a god (a) exists and (b) was involved in those topics somehow? Well if you had that, *don't hide the evidence, man, out with it!*
But if you don't have that, then you don't know the explanation for why the sun is that distance, right? In fact if the sun wasn't that distance, wouldn't humans cease to exist? So then 100% of life will always -- by definition -- discover that it lives somewhere life can live. Life lives where live can live -- and it doesn't live where it can't.
This makes today's college campuses so embarrassing
Sad.
Yeah the kids are so smart and well spoken
The amount of videos Cliffe has and the information in them is truly a blessing! I know these videos will continue to bless people for a long time to come!
The young man in glasses really wants to be convinced. Hopefully he has been by now 26 years later
I think he would read and research on his own through books, if he really wanted the answers to his questions. He seems more interested in debate as an intellectual exercise/sport.
I honestly hope he is now a man of God, true believer in Jesus as His Lord and Savior.
I know one day we will get to kmow that.
Kliffe is a legend, a craftsman and a critical thinker moreso excellent listening skills!!! I would leave my country to attend his sermons even though I am Catholic.
I'm also Catholic and live somewhat close to where cliffes church is and have convinced my husband to take a road trip!
I wanna hear the guys next argument, if any. That was one of the most honest, respectable, and flawless exchanges I have ever seen in a debate. Cliffe I believe this video is not as viewed as it should be, this answers a LOT of common questions and misconceptions about Christianity, Christ, and God. Every time I watch ur videos my faith grows stronger, not because watching anything alone improves my faith, but the second I started truly taking Christianity, I started watching your videos, and every question I have had so far has been answered almost perfectly. You are an incredible Christian, and most often use citation directly from the Bible, but also use verifiable evidence and very strong logic to connect the dots, and communicate it in such a way many people can easily understand it.
What a great year to remember. Comparing it figuratively to today, it was paradise.
It’s refreshing to see respectful intelligent conversations among differing views.
Excellent, Mind blowing the way you explain everything. That’s a gift from God.
Im so glad i found this guy this is my favorite kind of christian content, debates. The bible says "come let us reason together." Thats what we need to be doing as believers.
I'm completely dumbfounded by the calm attention of the students.
If this were 2023, a bunch of drugged up purple hair screeching zombies would be screaming in his ear and destroying his equipment. Shouting ignorant platitudes and random "I hate Christians" phrases they read on a atheist hate blog somewhere.
These kids show they can actually think about stuff and have legit questions.
How far have we fallen?
Too far buddy, too far
@@thesystem3967not untrue
It’s so amazing how all these questions that are asked especially from the black guy can be found in the Bible if he just read it a little more! Glory to God for revealing to us his word and laws!✝️
Thank you so much for posting these! Has been a great help with my teen sons to be inspired as I share them with them.
I really appreciate how Cliffe genuinly listens to their questions and thinks before he answers
Paul was gainfully employed as a tent maker as well as a church planter. Joseph of Arimathea paid out of his wealth for Yeshua's tomb. There was a family in my first church who immigrated from Europe and established a highly successful landscaping business. They served faithfully in the church, lived exemplary lives as believers, tithed and supported Christ-centered ministries, extended hospitality, visited the invalids and widows, fed the hungry, sheltered the homeless, and so on...and managed to remain rich
They realized that God blessed them to be a blessing to others.
17:44 the guy is being really frank and kind of open. I hope he found his way to Christ!
and not sin is holding him back!
Thank you, dear Cliff!
I liked the conversation with the agnostic guy, he seemed to be honest about his answers
That guy being so confused about love...made me laugh and then actually feel really bad for him. But I guess people really don't understand love from others sometimes :/
Well if he's being honest about never having felt guilty about anything, he's almost certainly a sociopath. Which means he would also have a difficult time feeling or understanding the warm emotion of love.
@@jorge37325 Biblical love really isn't an emotion. "Agape", which is the love that most of the Bible holds in high regards is an action word, defined in 1 corinthians 13. The other kind of love that I see so often is "Phileo": Brotherly love.
@zacharymcleod460 totally agree. David Wood (Christian psychopath) talks about this. I was just referring to the type of love that it seemed Cliffe and the man he was talking to described. Although I could have just misunderstood what they were trying to say.
Y cant we have programs like this anymore. Tgis guy is very insightful.
Because christianity is falling out of favor with the modern general public. At best people find us as a nuisance. at worst we are despised.
I’m at the point where I’m hitting like for every one of Cliff’s videos. PTL!

I have so much respect for athiests like him, they don't shut down the conversation like most today.
it was a great conversation. praise Jesus
It’s hilarious to me that people don’t understand that the whole Bible matters. They also hate the word context because context defeats their argument every single time.
That black guy tried his best to come up with the dumbest resolutions possible.
Wow. I love the intellectual honesty of the last guy. I hope he investigated Jesus!
This video proofs schools, society and the government have failed our children of today. There is a big difference on the way they dress, respect, and talk.
Sound and Sight of Cliffe ...hes gifted to spread his Faith in God ...to help the non-believers...hence hes an Angel ! ❤. Thank you Cliffe. ! Especially the Agnostic posers !
26:14 the dude in the back is either bored or hungry hahahah
Cliffe is the real deal!
Everyone in this video dress so modestly and appropriately. Even the most obnoxious among the students speak with a lever of clarity and reason. I wish this was the world I grew up in.
Did that fellow ever followup with you or did you hear of him again and his story. God has given you a unique ability and heart.
They tried SO HARD to get him and failed.
This is my favorite episode.
I feel for the young man asking questions after 17:45
The further along the exchange goes, the more it seems like he is a clinical sociopath, but one that is truly seeking to understand why he is the way he is and how he can possibly correct his behavior.
Well done to the young man who described himself as agnostic .He had genuine questions and a will to find out what cliffe had to say rather than the hard heart that is only interested in undermining Christianity .The result was a very informative discussion !!!
Yeah but he didn't present evidence of a god.
1a. Design: our universe overwhelmingly _doesn't_ seem designed. (At least not for us, which is his implication.)
1b. Design: but let's say he could indicate design. Why would that be evidence of a god? It wouldn't. That's why he has to dishonestly present a false dichotomy, offering two choices (god vs. matter/energy) as though they're the only possibilities.
2. Is god living? If so, god must come from life, according to Cliffe's "life come from life" argument. If not, you already understand why his argument is dishonest.
3. Did Cliffe provide evidence of moral absolutes (objective morality)? He didn't. Well _Cliffe's opinion_ isn't evidence, only evidence is evidence. Worse, if Cliffe had evidence of moral absolutes would that indicate a god? No. Why would it? So presenting it as evidence of a god is dishonest.
@@majm9309 Firstly I disagree regarding design In short life is too vulnerable and dependant on so many different factors that without every single one being right we would die within seconds .Moving on I therefore think that there has to be an intelligent mind begind it .The universe has a begining so we have the question of first cause .put it together and we have a designer .The next question is how do we gain the identity of the designer .
@@davidmccarroll8274 Those aren't logical arguments for a god though.
For "design" to be evidence of a god, you'd need to be able to actually conclude with a god. You don't even have clear evidence of design -- all you have is a universe that happens to support life, without any knowledge of how many failed universes may exist. So the fact that this is an unknown (theists aren't presenting evidence a god designed the universe) is why it's illogical to call this "evidence of god". (And often theists don't even call it that. They immediately retreat to talking about a designer. So even they seem to understand this argument doesn't really satisfy "evidence of god" at all.)
For causality either (A) everything or (B) not everything had a cause
* if A, an uncaused god is impossible
* if B, a god isn't necessary. (Because you'd be saying any given thing might be uncaused.)
Have you ever lied, stolen, used God's name in vain, looked wuth lust? if so you need to repent today and Believe in Jesus Christ to save you from Hell and go to heaven instead
@@davidmccarroll8274 So do you agree we don't have evidence of a god? Because nobody's presenting evidence of a god (A) existing or (B) being responsible for life, or the universe, or fine tuning, or the various other things gods are said to have done. _But knowledge requires evidence._ That means because nobody can present A or B, _nobody knows gods exist._ If truth is our goal, we must only believe true ideas (and avoid believing falsehoods or unknowns). Well _not having evidence means it's unknown._ So do you have any actual evidence of a god, or are you willing to abandon belief in this idea you don't know to be true? I think you should value truth.
Praise YHWH!!!!
I've watched almost all of Cliffe videos ,...but there are still a lot of questions, I was born in a non-Christian country and I converted to Christianity but maybe because my dad is married another woman and some things were bad for me so I see Christ's teachings are perfect for me ... but I've seen Many righteous people without the Christian faith. I feel sorry for humanity .
The reason why you will see people who are good without the Christian faith is because we are all made in the image of God. Every person knows what right and wrong is, because it’s written in our hearts
Romans 3:9-20-9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. 10 As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one;
11 there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”[b]
13 “Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.”[c]
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”[d]
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”[e]
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 ruin and misery mark their ways,
17 and the way of peace they do not know.”[f]
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”[g]
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
Everyone has the capability to do good and the capability to do evil. It’s all about whether the resurrection of Jesus Christ happened or not. Be careful yet open-minded and keep honestly searching for truth. The more you know the better. God bless.
Mr. Cliffe is just brilliant. Good Christian inspired by the Holy Spirit.
God bless.
We need Cliffs and Stuarts at every college campus in the world. 🙏✝️
I'm blown away by Cliffe's knowledge of the Bible.
I'm challenged by that.
God bless you man of God.🙏
*I'm 70 now and have read only the exact same copy of the King James Bible my church gave me in 1961. (This does not mean I was a King James onlyist but now I'm glad I never read any others or I might not have noticed the supernatural changes as quickly.) I had memorized many scriptures from it through the years. Then in 2014 I started seeing changes in it that I couldn't explain. I have an exceptional memory, for instance I can draw a detailed picture of my baby stroller. I had never owned a computer or heard of the "Mandela Effect" back then. But after being given my first computer on 2016, I finally found out why I had been noticing all of the oddities that I couldn't explain. I then started diligently studying what should actually be called the ''Daniel 7:25 Effect''. That's where God said He would give the antichrist the power to "change times and laws'' which we now know meant (history and scripture plus laws of physics). We're seeing many end times prophecies being fulfilled SUPERNATURALLY! This is some of the "lying signs and wonders" that God told us He would give the AC power to perform which would even deceive His very elect, if it were possible in 2nd Thessalonians chapter two!*
*God said in the end of days, (NOW!) that He would send us a famine for hearing His word in Amos **8:11** and that He would give the antichrist the ability to do this in Daniel 7:25. In Daniel 12:4 & 12:9 He told him to seal his book until the end days. He told John **_not_** to seal his book because the end time is at hand in Revelation 22:10. One of the Greek definitions of seal in Strongs concordance is “to protect from Satan”. He also told us to write His words in our hearts, which meant memorize, if not word for word at least the essence of what was written, because He knew this was going to happen.*
*God commanded us to "prove all things", and people **_better_** obey Him, especially on this subject. I urge you to research this. There are many brothers and sisters making videos about the changes with more proof of what was originally written and I have lots more about this in my playlist 👉 which can be found by typing in ( proof of bible change residue junkie )* 👈
*I've continued to study scripture and have grown MUCH closer to Jesus by learning what Satan has been changing. Soon Amos **8:12** will be fulfilled too, and the only way it can happen is by not being able to see these videos that document what used to be written in our bibles.*
*_May God bless all who read this with eyes to see this incredible faith strengthener, and how close we are to our Saviour's return!!!!_*
*P.S. Everyone is going to learn about this one way or the other. I'm just trying to keep as many people as I can from hearing Jesus explaining it to them at the Gate.* ❤✝️💪
Thanks for the thoughtful comment. How do you understand 1 Corinthians 15:25? God bless y'all!
I wish i was 70, im 22 and already have enough of this world, i just want Jesus to come already and take us to the father, but at the same time im not sure if im qualified.
@@thedanger_no one is qualified, we have all fallen short. Believe that Jesus Christ is God and trust His atonement for your sin. Repent of your sin and trust in Jesus Christ and you are saved
I'm not sure of this whole mandela effect thing, but I do remember wineskins, the lamb and the lion,etc.
@Theo_Skeptomai not to speak for him, but Christ does command us to make sure we understand what we're giving our life to. Otherwise, you'll get screwed over. He does not want blind faith. If you genuinely think Christ was a liar or just didn't exist at all, don't follow him. Though apparently we have far more ancient manuscripts of the New Testament than any other documents in history and it's been followed since his supposed life. I feel with that and a few more pieces of evidence that it's more likely he was legit so i trust Christ.
The guy with the sideburns in the beginning looks like Hans from Frozen
Honestly love that people are seeking truth ❤️
Outstanding exchange. Love it.
I love these videos almost as much as i love Christ (almost for obvious reasons 😅)
my only complaint here is that we don't get to see the resolution of their discussion. ALL questions posed here were relevant and extremely important to answer and even if it took three hours or more, i would be more than willing to listen to the entire exchange to hear the whole conversation if possible and i'm sure i'm not the only one thinking this. i understand the need to limit the file size but it would be nice if the ministry would at least provide a link to the full, unedited conversation, even if it would show some foul language or unfortunate actions of some college students.
Yo, I know this vid was just uploaded, but how old is it? Why is everyone dressed like it's the early 90s?! However, the video quality looks modern. That's weird to me.
BTW, this is one of the best teachings I've seen from Cliffe.
Check the description, this is part of his “classics” series filmed in ‘97. Still great teachings though
@@Brostopherr ohhhhhhh... That's makes sense 🤦🏽♂️ .. lol
@@Brostopherr I should have known. Look how docile and normal people are. Today everyone is enraged and argumentative. My first thought should have been to look in the description
I love this channel
You don't have to literally spend your life wandering the earth as a homeless vagrant spreading the word of Christ to get into heaven. If you feel that you're calling then you need to settle that with Christ through prayer and meditation and be honest with what you feel like you need to do. Don't be resentful towards your calling. Also don't look at others people's calling and take that on as your own obligation. One of the men hung on the cross with Christ is dining in Paradise with him right now. That's the extent of Jesus mercy. This man had not known the Christ well until his dying breath but still he is in heaven. Very powerful guys very powerful. Trust in the Lord and he will guide us all to our destinies which ultimately ends up in heaven with him. How we get there on earth doesn't really matter as long as we pray and obey. ❤️🎉
On topic of origins of life recommend watching dr. James Tour. In short - modern science is nowhere near assembling a single simplest living cell (controlled reactions and highly sophisticated equipment being used) let alone that happening in a warm puddle by its own. Please dive in this interesting subject.
Time ,matter & space.!
The Way,Truth & Life.
God bless you brother Cliff 🙏
Around 23 minutes in the origin of life thing is brought up. Now, back in 1997 Cliffe probably couldn't have known this, but in more recent times James Tour, one of the world's most renowned biochemists have challenged the origin of life community.
The basic story is that Darwin speculated about some primordial soup, or pond, filled with chemicals and getting struck by lightning and such. This is still taught today, heck in was in Star Trek. Well then in the fifties a scientist whose name I forget mucks about with chemicals in a lab, and manages to create something that looks like the building blocks for life. This further strengthens the theory, and today many origin of life researchers are still going at it. They express much faith that science will eventually figure it out.
That's where James Tour comes in. On his youtube channel he has issued five chemical and biochemical challenges to the origin of life research. If anyone can answer just one of these questions James Tour has woved to shut down his entire channel. To this date no one has provided any kind of answer to his challenges.
Anyway, look into it, but the gist of it is that it looks increasingly impossible that life arose from basic chemistry, and that wasn't know too well back in the 90s.
He’s debunked this in more modern videos along with his son. It’s all just theorizing anyways.
The man at 18:00 is awesome. Very open to engage in a civil dialectic
I like when he response “so what?” 🤭then, he explains absolutely 👍 👍👏👏
One of the bests
This pastor is on point
Cliffe Rocks!
Atheists say that you can create life. You can create the parts of life, you cannot create the incredible complexity of a functioning simple, single cell.
God doesn’t predict life
You don’t get complexity from a God
Your claim is incoherent
Completely comes from energy and time

This debate in interesting. The students look very focused. There is not one smart phone in sight.
I think this is before smart phones. But all the same, focused and attentive, yes.
As a christian, i wish the guy with the jacket and glasses was a close friend. My mind woukd always be fresh
The crowds seem bigger back in this time… is it just me or were more people open to discussing things more back in the day than today? It’s like our communication is slacking as we move into the future…
I'm pretty sure these videos are pre smart phone era.
God bless you🙏🏼
quisiera saber que, sucedido en la vida de ese chico agnóstico, muy inteligente muy educado, respetuoso, espero que ese mensaje que Cliffe le doy haya sido suficiente para encontrar las respuestas que su mente y su corazón deseaban.
Besides Order, Life, Moral absolute, and Love, I think we need to even back up further and consider Creation. I know that Cliffe is somewhat equating Order with Creation, but Creation deals with the fact that matter and energy exists. Nothing can not creation Creation.
Thank you Jesus Christ for helping me , I’ve gone from watching mindless tv shows and movies to watching these non stop 🙏✝️
16:44 i'm so glad this topic was brought up
29:00 But would feeling regret not indicate that there was a feeling you didn’t particularly enjoy (guilt in this sense) that would then lead to the feeling of regret?
Regret can’t exist in a vacuum, the mere concept of feeling regretful implies there is a different course of action and/or feeling you would have rather taken. So in the literal sense of the word, regret could not possibly be the initial feeling felt, there would first need to be an emotion/feeling strong enough to then bring about regret into the scenario.
Curious to see if people agree because I don’t think I’m wrong on that
