  • Program 0523 ................... - Slavery - Evil and Suffering - Religions .................................................................
    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.

      Awesome that Cliffe addressed slavery in The Bible. 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?

He rose from the dead after three days and defeated death, and now the Holy Spirit lives within us, if we only just repent of our sins, open the door and let him in.
    Matthew 28:16-20 talks about the great commission:
    “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”

    Exactly I'm glad he addressed slavery in The Bible especially ancient slavery in the Roman Empire 💯. AMEN brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless brother Stuart and Cliffe Knechtle's Apologetics ministry. Many Atheists, secular humanists and skeptics are very intelligent and logical but shows how dishonest their position can be in changing his standards for evidence by shifting the goalpost everytime it comes to what their standard of God's Existence being supported by evidence would be. It's obviously not the burden of proof for believers but God Himself to meet the burden of proof which He has for us Christian theists despite what Atheists claim are just unsupported claims. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
    I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
    Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
    Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
    ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " 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.

      He already did when it is repeated to treat others the way you want to be treated in many ways. To love others and to love your enemy, that is more important then to shun all authority. The exceptions are criminals that need to be rehabilitated and pay off their crimes or if someone owes a debt, people can owe labor, that isn’t owning them as property. People are beaten when they act out or try to overpower you physically, it happens in prisons everywhere.

      Love your neighbor as yourself is in Leviticus. Paul lived in the Roman Empire where slavery was their law and Paul wanted to inspire peace not a violent revolution, so when he says “slaves obey your masters” it creates a relationship that fosters peace, so that when both slave and master learn peace and holiness from Christ then the slaves are freed. The whole concept of holiness, which is repeated many times, is a way of peace with everyone through right action. One of the central themes being holiness is a clear and simple way of inviting peace and ending conflict through resolution and forgiveness.

    So in order to live your day-to-day life, you must force yourself to believe something that you say you don't but at the same time you believe that you can't force yourself to believe anything? The irrational thought process of a college student never ceases to amaze me. It's amazing that the one thing they forget to teach in college is how to rationally think through a problem and come up with a solution on your own.

    Ye have toasters and roasters and cars and planes. You’ve got it all I shout I exclaim.
    Ah but be careful to lose not thy cherry feelings to the hordes who do their dreadful stealing.
    Go for a drive into the countryside and have a picnic under a tree. Or watch the waves at a nearby beach and love the way they teach and they preach.
    If you find a tranquil field where the humble bees buzz and the soft winds blow, you’ll escape the blows of city life and love again the simple life.
    And into thin air your worries and cares will disappear if you stare into a nigh sky or feed the birds or fall asleep while squirrels peep.

      Look at the original post by Doug DeRubis. He explained that free will comes with the possibility of suffering. I have an objection to that statement because there is a place where free will exists and there is no possibility of suffering.

    God knows everything and knows us. God knows without proof. When we prove our faithfulness to God we benefit from the proof, as did the angels in heaven benefit when they took a stand against Satan and his unholy angels.
    By proving ourselves to God in times of temptation, with our fierce obedience to God, we obtain a greater character than what we had before we proved our loyalty to God, with our absolute obedience.
    But to us, obeying God isn’t onerous, for we know we are pleasing God, whom we love to please especially when He says if you love me keep my commandments.
    We please ourselves less by pleasing God more. John 14:15 kjv But pleasing God pleases us.
    It makes us happy to obey God but also optimistic. We have vision. Proverbs 29:18. “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”
    But Jesus was God and it was God who gave us the commandments. And Jesus entices us to keep them on the basis of love,saying if we love Him we will keep them. But without loving Him, how can we keep them.
    But those who say they don’t love the blessed Saviour who laid down His life for them, are those who are ungrateful wretches.
    Therefore those who gratefully love the Saviour are pleased to please God by keeping the commandments which become not onerous to them.
    John. 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
    Rev 14:12 KJV Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
    Revelation 12:17 KJV: And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God.
    Revelation 22:14 - Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
    We do not steal or take the Lord’s name in vain or have graven images. But because of church traditions many keep not the 7th day sabbath that was changed by man and not by God.
    Constantine changed the sabbath day to rope in the pagans. The sabbath days which are no longing binding are the yearly sabbaths mentioned in Leviticus and certainly not the weekly 7th day sabbath.
    Many believers know this truth but are not acting upon it because they have an OK feeling that everything is OK.
    Which is interesting because those who are perishing also have the same OK feeling that everything is OK because it feels OK.
    We don’t need to get down on our knees and ask God what to do. He has already commanded us to do this with His 4th commandment.
    So what’s it going to be. Are we going to obey God or not. Is that yes or no.

    The title of the video is "Is there really a problem with Evil?"
    .
    I've noticed that many atheists will raise the problem of evil as an argument against Christianity. The problem I find with their argument, though, is two fold:
    .
    1) What really is evil if there is no objective standard of right and wrong?
    2) What is the atheist answer to the problem of evil? Or human suffering as they might call it.
    .
    If there is no God/god/the gods, then we pop into existence when we're born and pop out when we die. No net gain or loss. If an "Earth killer" size asteroid hits our planet and wipes out all of humanity, the universe spins on uncaring. Was that "evil"? I think the atheist would have to say that an asteroid hitting our planet and killing all humans would be the ultimate outcome, because all of human suffering would instantaneously cease. No net gain or loss. Simply chemicals returning to a simpler form.

    Ok for morality, objective or subjective. There should be our human innate sense of or capacity to tell right from wrong or in other words, God instilled it in us all, right? Because otherwise how can we be judged? Animals, cats, dogs, lions and others, they don't have it, right? That's why they're not judged.
    So, if one says it's all objective of ours but we'd go by our collective morality as an objective shared morality. That wouldn't matter because our subjective morality would be the (God's or objective morality) God instilled in us all, right? Thus it'd work, wouldn't it? Does that make sense? Sorry, it's still not clear in my head, yet.
