Recorded September 2022.
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 just as vibrant now as he was in his youth 🙏🕊️💌
@@christianresearchproject who's Dick Clark?
Cliffe was more vibrant in his youth just watch his older videos... his amazing vibrance now is a testament to how good he is and was. Remember after the age of 24 intelligence drops off on an exponentially falling curve. You balance that through knowledge and experience.
Take every thought captive since they all come from God!

Wonderful conversation about God's Existence, Character and Will between these young students and Cliffe. AMEN brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless brother Stuart and Cliffe Knechtle's Apologetics ministry. It's obviously not the burden of proof for believers but God Himself to meet the burden of proof which He has for us Christians and theists despite what Atheists claim are just unsupported claims. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
The main problem with these kids, they keep comparing Jesus to 'religion.'
There’s “religion”, in James 1 twice, but cliffs answers aren’t the best, for instance;
Matter and energy cannot be created nor destroyed, therefore no matter nor energy would’ve existed to do the causing. Consequently, whatever did cause the universe to exist, would need to be immaterial and exist beyond time and space! Genesis 1: 1 God creates time space and matter!
The KILLER is, Entropy! Entropy is somewhat opposite of evolution and why did this come into the universe if everything’s getting better. Genesis 2:17 says death came into the universe through the first sin!
First two chapters of the Bible not the 500th chapter or the thousandth chapter; explain what evolutionists have not explained;, The first two laws of thermodynamics!
So the Bible explains how matter, space, time, entropy, and energy get here!
DNA does not auto encrypt, it did not write itself the code writer is outside of the code. 3300 billion lines of computer code in 1 humans DNA, would fill the Grand Canyon 50 times of Books, let alone plant and animal DNA and it did not write itself! One person‘s DNA could stretch to the sun and back 61 times! Psalm 139:16 “in my members you have written many books“.
John 21:25 “I suppose everything Jesus did the world will not have enough room for the Books, telling of it“
Job 38:35 “were you there when I created the lightnings and they say ‘here we are!”’ This is God talking to Job!
3300 years later, James Maxwell discovers that light rays and electricity are two forms of the same thing!
The Bible Predicted telecommunications
Let’s all pray for Cliff and his team! The more prayers the more power and glory to God❤
I suggest you check out a teaching called a better way to pray by Andrew Wommack, you ll realize it's not more prayers we need its a deeper revelation of our identity in Christ that we need.
I listen to Cliffe teach more than I do music while driving! He’s opened my eyes. What a wonderful teacher.
@@Theo_Skeptomai truths on how to view my savior and how to combat people like you who have hate in their hearts and constantly seek the undermining of others :-)
That there’s a right and wrong, and I have a choice to extend my hand to either help or injure another human being. That good and evil goes beyond naturalistic and materialistic explanations.
@@Theo_Skeptomai Why did you reply?
Exactly 💯. Atheists speaking on science and religious or theistic beliefs as if they're mutually exclusive is silly. Only the Christian or theistic worldview can provide the necessary preconditions for intelligibility that make science possible such as the uniformity of nature, principle of induction, Laws of nature, logic, Truth, ethics and physics are all necessary conditions if a Creator/ God actually exists. "The God Delusion wouldn't pass an Intro To Philosophy course, Dawkins made me embarrassed to call myself an atheist " Michael Ruse. I'm glad brother Cliffe Knechtle's Apologetics ministry is still going strong after All these decades. AMEN brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless you ALL 🙏❤️👊. SILLY ATHEISTS TRIX ARE FOR KIDS 🤣. Atheism ain't got nothing new or better to offer than the very religious beliefs it's critical of so it's hypocrisy at it's finest 😂. Hello this is for all you Atheists, unbelievers and skeptics. I'm going to address a few misconceptions and lies about God's Character and His Word. The Bible doesn't support chattel slavery or anything else Immoral. Ok so Atheists and unbelievers say God is either Immoral, incompetent or not responsible so let's see what The Scriptures actually say. God revealed himself and created a nation in a real, historical context. It was a world with a slave-based economy, with city states often at war with each other, with polygamous marriages to ensure the continuation of family lines. The laws of the Old Testament regulate this behaviour. Slaves are to be treated humanely (Exodus 21:11). They are given rights and not seen as mere possessions. Hebrew slaves were able to buy their own freedom. Human trafficking is condemned (Exodus 21:16). In contrast to the law code of Babylon, Old Testament Israel was a light to the nations. The Old Testament law and narratives do not stand alone. Jesus is now the best example of what we read. So the moral teaching of the Bible cannot be summarised by a quote taken out of context from the Old Testament to demonize God and His Word. Slavery was permitted in Old Testament law but it was regulated by God giving the Israelites instructions on how to fairly and humanely treat their slaves (it was like indentured servitude where someone could work for you if they owed debts or needed income not cruel like chattel slavery). God allowed the people of Israel to own slaves since they themselves has already experienced over 400 years of generations of Egyptian slavery and knew how inhumane it was to be beaten, overworked and taxed so God set them apart from other nations and cultures around them by giving them a fair way to treat their slaves since slavery had already existed in the world but it doesn't mean God condoned it just used it for His Will to bring Good And in the light of the whole scriptural teaching, we find the reasons for its ultimate abolition (Ephesians 6:9; Colossians 4:1-3; Philemon 15-16 and Galatians 3:28). The Word of God provided the moral standard against slavery in the Roman Empire and against the slave trade in the New World.
But what of genocide or holy war in the book of Joshua? Several things could be pointed out. The use of warfare in the ancient world did not always mean literal total destruction, even when events are described in such terms. Furthermore, the book of Joshua does not describe a genocide. It is not a race who are being wiped out, as in genocide, but a religious practice which was often appalling and degrading. Those who repent (like Rahab from Jericho or Ruth) are not destroyed but become part of Israel. It is not the racial group that is in view but their "detestable practices".
However, after all is said, we must still acknowledge that God brought judgment on the nations of Canaan. It is not our place as believers isn't to sugar-coat the Bible. For some skeptics, this is enough to make God a moral monster. But the fact is that Jesus continued to affirm that God is a Judge who will bring a future judgment on all peoples and all nations. God’s judgment will be just. The list of Old Testament stories rejected by critics often leads to a similar dismissal of the New Testament teaching of Jesus on the existence of hell.
After all, what was the Flood of Genesis or the conquest of Joshua if not a glimpse of future judgment? Hell does not demonstrate cruelty on God’s part, but it does demonstrate His Holiness and our moral accountability. Perhaps this is the real reason many people rail against the God of the Bible? It is not that they think He is a moral monster, but that they are afraid He is a moral Judge, and that has implications for our behaviour now. God is an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being and we as His creatures have Eternal souls and spirits so the punishment for our sins against Him must therefore also be Eternal but so must the reward for righteousness that's why He sent His Son Jesus to live a perfectly righteous and sinless Life (which none of us could ever possibly expect to do) suffer the humiliating and torturous death of crucifixion to shed His Own Blood willingly so that all who willingly accept His gift of salvation by grace through faith in Him will be saved and given Eternal life because that's what God wants is for us to willingly accept His gift of salvation and choose life. Exodus 21:20-21 literally speaks about capital punishment befalling anyone who mistreats their slaves so yes people are taking Scripture out of context to demonize God who literally promises that slaves who are mistreated under someone else's authority is to be avenged. When we hear the word “slavery” we think of innocent human beings, kept prisoner for life, having no rights under law and so reduced to animals. This is clearly immoral because it is unjust: the slave has done nothing to deserve the treatment.
The situation described as “slavery” in the Bible was nothing like this. It is more accurately described as one of indentured servitude. Many “slaves” were indentured servants, working for a term of years
Some other “slaves” were prisoners. There were no prisons. Prisoners had to work to live like everyone else. Some had life sentences. Some served a term and were released.
People didn't beat their good slaves but treated them well and protected their assets thus.
But no matter how rebellious a slave was, you couldn't just beat them to death. And if you knocked out their tooth or damaged their eye then you had to set them free. (Exodus 21:26). God wasn't using what other nations did because He wanted to set His Chosen People of Israel apart from the cruel, inhumane and unjust systems other cultures had so He gave them a fair way to treat their slaves and servants.
There is a lot of ignorance on this topic which is understandable given the age we live in but it's not the nefarious set up we think of when we think of modern slavery. The question Atheists must ask themselves is how come the Jews aren't being accused of slavery and human trafficking if they're guilty of it in The Bible and why would white slave owners rip out pages from The Old and New Testament Scriptures to justify their owning blacks as slaves if The Bible already justified slavery?
That is the difference between an arminian and a reformist Cliff just said God create for love, no God create for his glory God is not just love He is holly he is justice he is mercy He is grace He is wrath holly Wrath God is sovereign God just not create us just for love He ceate us to show his Glory and to glorify him.

Right! Im so happy!!!!
Many ask if God exists why does he allow all the bad things to happen. as if God is a cleaning lady that should clean up after us while we walk around creating mess carelessly busy rejecting Him. might as well ask, why can't God make me love him so we can all be happy. it's our job, not His. Jesus gave his life for us. Wasn't that enough? thank you
_"our job"_
😂😂😂😂 So BONE CANCER that causes untold suffering and death to millions of innocent children and their families. ? Just what "purpose" does it serve ? Did God have no "choice" but to create bone cancer?
How about the multitude of other Diseases, Tsunamis, Viruses, birth defects, Earthquakes, Floods, Famines, ect ect. ??
I think Epicurus put it much better than I ever could........
_"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able_ ? _Then he is not omnipotent_
_Is he able, but not willing_ ? _Then he is malevolent_
_Is he both able and willing_ ? _Then whence cometh evil_ ?
_Is he neither able nor willing_ ? _Then why call him God"_ ?

Cliff, I love what you have been doing. One small suggestion to you and your team, you should make the thumbnail and title of your videos more intriguing to encourage more people to click on the videos. Some of your videos have done this and they have more viewers than other videos, showing that this works. I believe your videos can reach more people around the world. Gbu

*A child killer however* so long as he truly repents and accepts Jesus on his deathbed he can spend an eternity in paradise with the children he murdered.

It's so difficult because 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
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.
So my question to you is .......
Which specific denomination is it that in your SUBJECTIVE OPINION represents the percieved whims of the god that's the "correct" Moral reference standard that humanity should aspire and adhere to ?????
Thanks in advance, theists often attempt to obfuscate and evade with vague non specific denomination nonsense for fear of me exposing just how subjective their beliefs are, but I'm sure you won't do that will you 😜

Are YOU going to assert that such things no longer apply because THEY were moral dictates that applied in a different "time" and "culture" to a specific people ?? 🤔🤔
You see in reality it's YOU that's is advocating for a form of *moral relativism* with your "new covernant" garbage. The very LEAST one would expect of an "objective" moral reference is that its UNCHANGING, and applicable to all regardless of time, place, tribe ect.

When you assume there’s good you inject evil exists which assumes a moral law to differentiate good & evil, which assumes a moral law giver; no moral law giver? => no moral law => no good => no evil =>no actual morality for atheists/agnostics.
I pray the triune God of the supernaturally prophetic (Romans 1:26-31/2 Timothy 4:3/Matthew 24:6/1 Corinthians 1:18 fulfilled in reality today), historically verified (archaeologically & anthropologically by Christians & non-Christians w/enemy/early/multiple attestation, internal consistency, embarrassing reports, etc.) & transcendentally/objectively moral (Exodus 20/Matthew 22:37-40) Holy Bible reveals Himself to you in Spirit & objective truth (John 16:13). May God bless you with faith in Him, not fallible man (Ephesians 2:8 & Merriam-Webster, "belief , trust in & loyalty to God")!
25:18 so for this question. It wasn’t just telling God to get out of human life. It was also conveying control of the world to a creature, Satan, who wants to corrupt everything good that God made. It’s like asking the software developer to leave and handing over the codes to a malicious monkey.

The question about our appendix is intellectually dishonest because you are inferring, an appendix is useless just because a human can live without it. Would you ever say a leg is useless because if you cut them off a person could still live? The appendix helps build up your immune system and helps defend off bacteria and viral infections.
I really enjoy your hard work cliff, keep the videos coming,the most high is well pleased for what you are doing ....hats off to you,glory to the Lord
The other reason good cannot be outside of god is because god is our creator and created us for a purpose.
The creator is always the one that defines good when it comes to his creation. For example the creator of an airplane knows when it's doing good and when it's malfunctioning. The creator of a vacuum knows when it's cleaning good and when it's malfunction.
Since god is the creator of everything and we are his creation he knows when we are doing good and when you're not aligned with your purpose.

So at least investigate and look to see that these things are true, because right now you just learned the Bible is smarter than you, so what should you do concerning the Bible?

Wonderful conversation about God's Existence, Character and Will between these young students and Cliffe. AMEN brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless brother Stuart and Cliffe Knechtle's Apologetics ministry. It's obviously not the burden of proof for believers but God Himself to meet the burden of proof which He has for us Christians and theists despite what Atheists claim are just unsupported claims. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.

Atheists speaking on science and religious or theistic beliefs as if they're mutually exclusive is silly. Only the Christian or theistic worldview can provide the necessary preconditions for intelligibility that make science possible such as the uniformity of nature, principle of induction, Laws of nature, logic, Truth, ethics and physics are all necessary conditions if a Creator/ God actually exists. "The God Delusion wouldn't pass an Intro To Philosophy course, Dawkins made me embarrassed to call myself an atheist " Michael Ruse. I'm glad brother Cliffe Knechtle's Apologetics ministry is still going strong after All these decades. AMEN brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless you ALL 🙏❤️👊. SILLY ATHEISTS TRIX ARE FOR KIDS 🤣. Atheism ain't got nothing new or better to offer than the very religious beliefs it's critical of so it's hypocrisy at it's finest 😂. Hello this is for all you Atheists, unbelievers and skeptics. I'm going to address a few misconceptions and lies about God's Character and His Word. The Bible doesn't support chattel slavery or anything else Immoral. Ok so Atheists and unbelievers say God is either Immoral, incompetent or not responsible so let's see what The Scriptures actually say. God revealed himself and created a nation in a real, historical context. It was a world with a slave-based economy, with city states often at war with each other, with polygamous marriages to ensure the continuation of family lines. The laws of the Old Testament regulate this behaviour. Slaves are to be treated humanely (Exodus 21:11). They are given rights and not seen as mere possessions. Hebrew slaves were able to buy their own freedom. Human trafficking is condemned (Exodus 21:16). In contrast to the law code of Babylon, Old Testament Israel was a light to the nations. The Old Testament law and narratives do not stand alone. Jesus is now the best example of what we read. So the moral teaching of the Bible cannot be summarised by a quote taken out of context from the Old Testament to demonize God and His Word. Slavery was permitted in Old Testament law but it was regulated by God giving the Israelites instructions on how to fairly and humanely treat their slaves (it was like indentured servitude where someone could work for you if they owed debts or needed income not cruel like chattel slavery). God allowed the people of Israel to own slaves since they themselves has already experienced over 400 years of generations of Egyptian slavery and knew how inhumane it was to be beaten, overworked and taxed so God set them apart from other nations and cultures around them by giving them a fair way to treat their slaves since slavery had already existed in the world but it doesn't mean God condoned it just used it for His Will to bring Good And in the light of the whole scriptural teaching, we find the reasons for its ultimate abolition (Ephesians 6:9; Colossians 4:1-3; Philemon 15-16 and Galatians 3:28). The Word of God provided the moral standard against slavery in the Roman Empire and against the slave trade in the New World.
But what of genocide or holy war in the book of Joshua? Several things could be pointed out. The use of warfare in the ancient world did not always mean literal total destruction, even when events are described in such terms. Furthermore, the book of Joshua does not describe a genocide. It is not a race who are being wiped out, as in genocide, but a religious practice which was often appalling and degrading. Those who repent (like Rahab from Jericho or Ruth) are not destroyed but become part of Israel. It is not the racial group that is in view but their "detestable practices".
However, after all is said, we must still acknowledge that God brought judgment on the nations of Canaan. It is not our place as believers isn't to sugar-coat the Bible. For some skeptics, this is enough to make God a moral monster. But the fact is that Jesus continued to affirm that God is a Judge who will bring a future judgment on all peoples and all nations. God’s judgment will be just. The list of Old Testament stories rejected by critics often leads to a similar dismissal of the New Testament teaching of Jesus on the existence of hell.
After all, what was the Flood of Genesis or the conquest of Joshua if not a glimpse of future judgment? Hell does not demonstrate cruelty on God’s part, but it does demonstrate His Holiness and our moral accountability. Perhaps this is the real reason many people rail against the God of the Bible? It is not that they think He is a moral monster, but that they are afraid He is a moral Judge, and that has implications for our behaviour now. God is an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being and we as His creatures have Eternal souls and spirits so the punishment for our sins against Him must therefore also be Eternal but so must the reward for righteousness that's why He sent His Son Jesus to live a perfectly righteous and sinless Life (which none of us could ever possibly expect to do) suffer the humiliating and torturous death of crucifixion to shed His Own Blood willingly so that all who willingly accept His gift of salvation by grace through faith in Him will be saved and given Eternal life because that's what God wants is for us to willingly accept His gift of salvation and choose life. Exodus 21:20-21 literally speaks about capital punishment befalling anyone who mistreats their slaves so yes people are taking Scripture out of context to demonize God who literally promises that slaves who are mistreated under someone else's authority is to be avenged. When we hear the word “slavery” we think of innocent human beings, kept prisoner for life, having no rights under law and so reduced to animals. This is clearly immoral because it is unjust: the slave has done nothing to deserve the treatment.
The situation described as “slavery” in the Bible was nothing like this. It is more accurately described as one of indentured servitude. Many “slaves” were indentured servants, working for a term of years
Some other “slaves” were prisoners. There were no prisons. Prisoners had to work to live like everyone else. Some had life sentences. Some served a term and were released.
People didn't beat their good slaves but treated them well and protected their assets thus.
But no matter how rebellious a slave was, you couldn't just beat them to death. And if you knocked out their tooth or damaged their eye then you had to set them free. (Exodus 21:26). God wasn't using what other nations did because He wanted to set His Chosen People of Israel apart from the cruel, inhumane and unjust systems other cultures had so He gave them a fair way to treat their slaves and servants.
There is a lot of ignorance on this topic which is understandable given the age we live in but it's not the nefarious set up we think of when we think of modern slavery. The question Atheists must ask themselves is how come the Jews aren't being accused of slavery and human trafficking if they're guilty of it in The Bible and why would white slave owners rip out pages from The Old and New Testament Scriptures to justify their owning blacks as slaves if The Bible already justified slavery?
@@Theo_Skeptomai That's not important

So, why doesn't the universe appear to be intelligently designed to people who actually study the universe? Are you claiming to know more than the leading cosmologists?
@@Generatorman59 What are you talking about? Many cosmologists have commented on the apparent fine tuning of the universe. Even the great atheist Hitchens said it was the best evidence for God theists have.
Paul Davies
“Scientists are slowly waking up to an inconvenient truth - the universe looks suspiciously like a fix. The issue concerns the very laws of nature themselves. For 40 years, physicists and cosmologists have been quietly collecting examples of all too convenient "coincidences" and special features in the underlying laws of the universe that seem to be necessary in order for life, and hence conscious beings, to exist. Change any one of them and the consequences would be lethal."

""a super-intellect has monkeyed with physics"
The whole reason the multiverse started being talked about and popularized was because of the fine tuning "problem."
@@Theo_Skeptomai Do you understand what "fine tuning" means? If you did, you wouldn't ask me this question. You would ask, "is the universe still fine tuned." The answer would be yes.
@@Theo_Skeptomai You don't know what a red herring is because I directly responded to your question about fine tuning. A red herring is when someone introduces a distraction into a conversation to get away from a losing battle.
Now I don't care about your dictionary definitions. "Fine Tuning" is a recognized title of a specific argument or group of observations. I know what "fine" means and I know what "tuning" means. Put another way, with regards to this argument, it is said that the universe is "fine tuned." All that means in the philosophical and scientific world is that the parameters appear to be tuned very precisely to allow the universe we see and for life. It doesn't mean that there is a large cosmic dial out there somewhere.
And I answered your question anyway. It WAS fine tuned.
@@Theo_Skeptomai That isn't a red herring. I couldn't answer the question as asked. The answer I gave should have informed you of the position I take on the subject and therefore should have been helpful. No need to accuse me of logical fallacies.
I want to engage you but I don't want to waste my time. The amount of heat generated by the Sun is not a fine tuned parameter. Its not a constant of the universe. The fact that you asked me this as well as mentioned the distance of the Earth from the moon, again demonstrates to me that you don't know what the fine tuning argument is. You wouldn't ask about the universe being static because that isn't what the fine tuning argument argues for and you should know this.
We are talking about the initial entropy value of the universe
The density of the universe just one nanosecond after the big bang. If off by 1 kilogram of 10^24 kilograms per cu meter galaxies wouldn't have developed.
The cosmological constant can't be off more then 1 part in 10^53 and that is conservative.
The mass of quarks 1 in 10^21
The mass of Electrons
The difference in mass between Electrons and Neutrons
etc. etc.
There is no distraction going on. You come at me with "the amount of heat from the sun" and "the distance of the Earth from the Moon." You don't know what your talking about or your playing dumb. Your not going to get the answer to the questions that you want if you act so uninformed.

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
God bless you Cliffe 🙏
Cliff you are brilliant at what you do and very intelligent about your call but your reasoning on God would not preserve his word is really unintelligent! God said he would preserve his Word try researching the bible Cliff 🙏🏽📖👈🏽
John 17: 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth!!!!!!!
I love when Cliff compare stories 😍 to explain God's way which is a easy way to reveal God's will as apostle Paul did.
God bless brother 🙌🙏💛👏👍💯😁
That last piece was so good about the Levitical Laws. I've been wondering about that question for a while.
Everybody has a moral code imprinted within them, its a natural code that's imprinted within all intelligent species for their very survival let alone also all living species of things. No God imprinted that code/message within because it is natural will of choice which is not Relativism because it is not taught. You the human are only a host to that imprinted knowledge within. Where is the imprinted knowledge form within? It is imprinted within the human molecule fused elements at atomic levels. It is the symbiotic relationship but is one.
They know God has put justice in them.... but their eyes cannot see, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to him and have him heal them.
@@dogelife7901 They think it is a God that has put justice in them because they know not of what else there/it could be because if they did know what has put justice in them, then their eyes would see and there hearts would understand and they could turn to the source which is their healer. What is it they not know and confuse themselves thinking its a God.
Listen carefully oh! wise one and dismantle what I say into sections to receive the reasoning.
That which formed the intelligent species since/at creation is the required fusing of elements ( ie source) which the formulae derived from to initiate the iteration function unto itself which houses the imprinted knowledge for the understanding of everything since creation and for a reproductive system to occur. Your body and brain was formed by that process, that process is real and will protect its host which is you and its been doing that since creation and evolving. How do you think you got this far.
@@Theo_Skeptomai The most simplest form of moral code even if you don't know how your moral code derived, is, LIVE AND LET LIVE. You know you have that in you.
But if want to know more about your imprinted knowledge, well I hope you can grasp this, if you do, then the weight of confusion will be lifted.
That which formed the intelligent species since/at creation is the required fusing of elements ( ie source) which the formulae derived from to initiate the iteration function unto itself which house the imprinted knowledge for the understanding of everything since creation and for the reproductive system to occur for its host to host to host. Your body and brain was formed by that process, no God had a hand in that process.
@@Theo_Skeptomai that is easy, within the human molecule. You would have to understand how when elements fuse could they produce the imprinted knowledge, and that is quite easy as well but you would have to remove a/the God equation to find the real creation of things.
@@Theo_Skeptomai Yep. because the imprinted knowledge was formed/made perfect , because if it wasn't initially made perfect ie one tiny atomic piece missing, it wouldn't have formed in the first place.
I don't think I've ever heard someone say "I believe matter created our mind, but God created something else". That's a philosophical leap I'm having a hard time following
When it's claimed there’s evil in this world it assumes good exists which assumes a moral law to differentiate good & evil, which assumes a moral law giver; no moral law giver? => no moral law => no good => no evil =>no actual morality (in atheism/agnosticism).
I pray the God of the supernaturally prophetic (Romans 1:26-31/2 Timothy 4:3/Matthew 24:6/1 Corinthians 1:18 fulfilled in reality today), historically verified (archaeologically & anthropologically by Christians & non-Christians w/enemy/early/multiple attestation, internal consistency, embarrassing reports, etc.) & transcendentally/objectively moral (Exodus 20/Matthew 22:37-40) Holy Bible reveals Himself to you in Spirit & objective truth (John 16:13). May the infallible triune God bless you with faith in Him, not fallible man (Ephesians 2:8 & Merriam-Webster, "belief , trust in & loyalty to God")!
Lol tell me dear, just how does one make moral choices without being able to differentiate right from wrong ?? Without knowledge of right and wrong every moral "choice becomes meaningless, choice *A* no more valid than the diametrically opposed choice *B*
And yet ...... dispite Gods foreknowledge of this he still decided to punish not only Adam and eve for gaining this knowledge but also their descendants ?? 🤪 how utterly absurd and immoral!!
People who do not know right and wrong are called "SOCIOPATHS" and "Psychopaths" we lock such people up in concrete boxes or execute them. Yet this is how your "God" wanted mankind to be and you think him a perfect moral reference standard 😂😅🤣🤣🤣🤣 .
So stupid
Can gratuitous evil exist by Christian lights ?
😂
If morality is subjective then evil describes actions which lead to emotional pain. Sort of like a bad taste. Would it make sense for me to say, "When it's claimed there's bad tastes in this world it assumes an objective taste decider to differentiate good and bad food, which assumes an objective taste decider. No taste decider => no taste => no good tastes => no bad tastes => no actual taste." It doesnt make sense because taste is determined by individual's subjective experience. When moral subjectivists call something evil, they are describing their moral experiences. They feel emotional pain when certain actions are done. We label those actions "evil". People can have differring causes of emotional pain, which they refer to as "evil". Just like people can have differing causes of bad tastes, which they could refer to as "disgusting". It doesn't have to be objectively disgusting for someone to experience disgust subjectively, label it, and take action to avoid that disgusting taste.
@@spooky6902 "Good" and "Evil" are words used to describe movement or points on a reference standard or scale conceptualised by man that is based upon our shared values like human wellbeing, empathy and equality. Whilst "God" is also a man made concept, the percieved whims of this "God" do not reflect these shared values and thus are irrelevant in any discussion of morality.
@trumpbellend6717 well said
Cliff kind of oversimplifies vestigial organs and limbs as being genetic disorders and diseases resulting from sin when clearly, they aren't.
Creation is far more complex and dynamic than any painting on a canvas or a sculpture could be. Because rocks can erode over time and plants and animals are constantly trying to adapt to survive and over time this adaptations lead to the creation of Polar bears and more recently Grollar bears. Humanity after the fall also had to adapt over time so some organs became useless over time. God Bless...
Every Christian in America needs to go see the movie "His Only Son" twice right now.
Thank you for all these videos Cliff. I often find myself arguing with nonbelievers and atheist, and all of your videos are very helpful in hostile situations
I would love to hear this speaker talk about incest.. and how all people of the world came to be, without it... from one man.. and one woman.. and then again with Noah's family after the flood.. If the speaker has not spoke on it... please please speak on it.. If the speaker has spoken on it.. please reply with a link and a timestamp if the vid is long. Thank you for your time.
If that’s your way of trying to paint Christianity in a negative light, I’d like to remind you that essentially EVERY human has been derived from the same lineage and ancestors. At one point in time, there were only TWO humans and we all came from them. We didn’t all just “evolve” into a community of humans. There was a beginning, a time and a place.
@@Theo_Skeptomai Theo, o Mighty Theo! Please use your Neanderthal brain to figure out how human mating works and if we just “spawned” a collective community full of people or if we mated to create offspring. For being 40, you sure are slow. No offense.
@@Theo_Skeptomai wisdom and common sense? God's wisdom and good rationale. It would be idiotic to go the evolutionary way. A blind leap of faith..
@@Theo_SkeptomaiBecause the theory is wrong. (Evolution). We did not come from 'monkeys' etc. I have enough wisdom and knowledge in Biology to know that this theory is bankrupt at best and embarrassing at worst.
@@xJakeeyy Im being completely honest. I Truly wish to hear Cliff's thoughts on this matter.. I know the Christian worldview is the only worldview that has love, morals, truth... and ALL other worldviews MUST borrow from the christian worldview in order to make sense. so i'm definitely not trying to paint christianity into a negative light.. I am only seeking the truth. I know morals are NOT subjective..
Can bad things become good things under certain circumstances? If so? Would that then mean they are subjective?!?!
Yes there is only one Cliffe. He and Steward have blessed us. They have taught us so much. We have gained the strength to stand for Jesus Christ because of their confident stand. And we are very, very, grateful.
Everyone is a one heartbeat 💓 away from eternity, choose eternal LIFE while you still have a heartbeat. Don't gamble 🎲 your life by blind faith. The Word of God is evidence of an all powerful God that's requiring accountability for your soul. You have thousands of chances and none after you die! 🏜️☝️😎❤️📖✝️🛐🌊🏊🏼♂️💦🇺🇲 Jesus walked on water and resurrected life. Jesus said, "I am the resurrection!"
The guy literally said "Jesus rising from the dead is silly"
Oh really?????
1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God
The biological questions of such things as why do we have an appendices a d not necessarily need them and the like is a silly argument. These organs do serve a purpose in the human condition.
Because you can live without them doesn't exclude anything.
Revelation 2:19
I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
the guy at 25:42 is actually onto something. Religious people live longer. Look it up if you dont believe me.
11:50 a simplified way can be, “if my parents were very loving and gave me all that I wanted, why did I turn out bad?”
Proverbs 3 : 5 KJV Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
You’ve got the wrong book Paul. 1.2 billion Hindus disagree with our western biblical nonsense. Your desire to win a prize is shamefully immoral.
The man who rejects the words of the scriptures and follows the impulse of desire attains neither his perfection, nor joy, nor the Path Supreme. Let the scriptures be, therefore, thy authority as to what is right and what is not right.
Bhagavad Gita 16.23-24, Mascaro, p. 111
Cliffe says in many of his videos that only stupid people get caught when stealing, raping, murdering, and more. I find that to be very offensive and misleading, which seems to be against what he stands for.
Religion ain’t that bad tho
I find it hilarious that most of these atheists complain that God played God when he judged people groups but when they play God it’s fine.
"i gotta get to class"..... Boy Cliff was about to COOK
Every eyewitness has a slightly different story cos they saw it from different angles as individuals. If each testament was exactly the same it would be much more sus.

I don't think people hear themselves talk...some of the things people say are absurd
is there a place that has the full video? if these discussions are 2-4 hours long can we get the whole thing? Love what you guys do I want more! haha
Amen! Thank you, Lord, for great teachers.
Wooww i went to Davidson too!!!
AWESOME REALLY AWESOME
GREAT WORK LIKE ALWAYS
CLIFFE.
YOUR CERTAINLY HAVE STRONG FAITH AND THE POWER OF FAITH WITH YOU AND IN YOU AMÉN AMÉN PEACE TO YOU AND YOUR CREW ALWAYS.
ITS SAD HOW THESE YOUNG GENERATIONS ARE SO00OO
DISCONNECTED FROM THEIR OLDER GENERATIONS WHOM KNEW(passed away) KNOW FAITH IN GODCHRIST HOLY SPIRIT JESUS.
They want quick fix answers and won't acknowledge that CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A RELIGION BUT FAITH. IF THEY ONLY TOOK TIME TO COMPREHEND WHAT FAITH IS.
RELIGION IS NOW KNOWN THAT THE EVIL ONE satan MADE THE RELIGIONS WITH ITS IDIOL ETC.. IDEALS TO RUIN SPIRITS SOULS FROM KNOWING GODCHRIST HOLY SPIRIT JESUS.
PLUS WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO ARE TRUTHS TAKING PLACE NOW....AND A TIME WHEN IT WILL ALL END.
FAITH WHEN YOU SEPARATE THE SPIRIT SOUL BODY FROM THE MATERIAL IDEA AND BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD YAHWEH WHOM IS CHRIST JESUS EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, THAT'S WHY THE HOLY SCRIPTURES ARE WRITTEN. AMÉN AMÉN AMÉN PEACE TO ALL 🌎🌍🌏🙏💯👍☕️🌮
Absolving yourself of your wrongs is not part of the program. That power is not in you to perform.
My head explodes when I listen to these "skulls full of mush" when they debate Cliff.
Ask cliff why don't you ever talk bout the sabbath he is Lord of the sabbath we need to teach it an honor it
I am praying that one day I will join you in the church
Cliff is planting seeds in the ‘brilliant’ minds of these young people. I pray that the seeds land on fertile ground.
First! new ask cliffe let's gooo
Matthew 7:12,

We love Jesus Christ 🙏🏼
They don't see the end of their argument is a noose; confirming what God has said, they are without excuse...
