Join us in person for a Sunday service at 9:30amET at Grace Community Church located at Grace Farms (365 Lukes Wood Road New Canaan CT, 06840).
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.

What id give for a "Where are they now" video of some of these people
Was literally thinking the same thing lol. I’m so curious if the Muslim woman found the truth of Jesus 🙂
That would be awesome if we got to see their spiritual progression in Life decades later if they're still alive. It's cool seeing classic younger Cliffe Knechtle from the 1990's and early 2000's answering questions from college students who were very respectful asking reasonable questions even if challenging to Christianity and theism. Cliffe Knechtle has been preaching and teaching for decades doing Christian Apologetics
AMEN 🙏❤️👊. Jesus The Christ of Nazareth (Yeshua H'nashiac) was a Jewish carpenter born almost two thousand years ago in a stable and laid in a manger by His Mother Mary and father Joseph yet changed the world through His words, moral character and miracles even Resurrection from Death by Roman crucifixion and torture.
Awesome videos from Stuart and Cliffe Knechtle's Give Me An Answer. I'm from Newark, New Jersey in The United States of America and I've met many Atheists, agnostics and secular humanists in my 24 years alive which helped me with countering atheist arguments.
This has nothing and everything 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 fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. 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" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro 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
@@arangerinwhitehopefully she did more digging into her own religion, because muhammad was dealing with slavery until the day he died he never abolished slavery, so as a black woman believing in muhammad is like chicken supporting KFC.

"Sorry I'm late boss, a new Cliffe vid dropped."
Im watching (listening) at work 😅
Boss: .."You've just been promoted"
Love listening to Cliffe at work!
lol that’s what I’m talking bout
And your boss replied "Oh that's understandable have a nice shift "🙂. NGL my boss would've said"Ok so that justifies being late to do your job, that's ok you'll never have to worry about being late again because YOU'RE FIRED "😞😭💔 😂.
Someone on the comment section wrote, "Don't Idolize Cliffe, Idolize Jesus" imo I don't think anyone is Idolizing Cliffe, I think people are simply admiring him. He wasn't born knowing the Bible and the word of God. You can tell he spends and has spent a lot of time praying, studying and reading the Bible and any or all historical facts of the New Testament as well as the old. Yes, Jesus uses him as an instrument and uses him beautifully. He teaches in all his sermons or teachings to follow and love Christ. Look how God has blessed him? He now gets to travel around the U.S alongside his son Stuart. Who chossed to follow on his father's footsteps("you shall know them by their fruits"). I love watching new Cliffe and Stuart videos😁
I love listening to Cliffe - so that I could give glory to Jesus by being able to answer the questions about faith and the Truth.
I Agree, I have not listened to many Preacher's, I always end up feeling like I'm being sold some faulty Self gratifying good's. But for some reason Cliffe's depth of understanding and Wide Knowledge of the material Amaze's me. Perhaps because he does not see himself as a Preacher, but more of an Educator
father and son...interesting. he is a good speaker, thus his success,
Good for u. I study the Bible w a dictionary n several verses of the Bible.
👍x💯x💯x💯x💯x💯x💯x💯x💯x💯x💯
I genuinely grieve for these people who think they are so smart and yet are so ignorant and deceived...
You said it! So sad.
me too
I hate when people say “I’ve read the Bible front to back” and show they have no understanding or memory of anything from the Bible.
Its what Muslims are taught to say and how to approach Christianity.
@@christophertaylor9100 yeah it’s dishonest
@@Greggers1516not necessarily, the Bible is going to be near unintelligible to an unbeliever especially one who already has an identity as an unbeliever, like try reading the prophets and then read or watch someone explaining it in depth and you’ll realize how much just goes over your head.
You just described Cliffe bud. He ignores quite a bit! He can't debate someone that knows the bible because he ignores it's inception and the culture of the time.
Holy spirit in the bible is WIND, nothing more!!
@@chrismetzinger4490 how so? I don’t see him ignore at all
When someone says "I have read the Bible from front to back" has never read a single book in the Bible. Or if someone has, it is as a novel
I believe they read it.
I know people who have read it front to back.
Not one of them retained more than .1%!
You're absolutely right!
Or perhaps the front & back cover..
They read it but don't seek to understand or reason things
What they probably mean is they glanced at the front and back covers.
There's a subtle difference between being judgmental and being discerning.
right,You know what? I want to know the original words, for sure must. be a distinction
Judgmentalism is basically slamming people with a critical spirit and poor assessment process, discernment is more about careful evaluation.
Test the spirit that's what the bible says. Don't judge but test the spirit if it doesn't align with the bibles teachings to love one another, then beware of false prophets
Jesus also said "why call me good, there's only one good and that is my Father in heaven"
Totally
“The Father and I are one.”
Yeah and Jesus and his disciples are one too. You have a lot of God then.
@@capistrano99 where does the Bible say that?
@@capistrano99lmao he doesn't mean that
Jesus also taught his followers to pray to GOD...that GOD'S will be done.....
I thought he was sitting at the right hand of God?
It is so beautiful to see this lovely young woman having a serious, respectful dialogue with Cliff. She is asking real questions, she’s not hostile, she’s not cloaking a rant under the guise of a question. This is a true seeker, may the Holy Spirit enlighten her understanding.
I am willing to believe she is a Christian now.
Amen! 🙏❤️
This video is over 20 years old so hopefully she found God 🙏🏻
Yeah, I'm at 6:11, and you can tell she's locked in and thinking hard. I love to see it.
I don't know why people say God is a hypocrite for being judgemental. He created the universe and everything within it .He has every right to be judgemental.
If I was to create a universe and everything in it and watched everyone mess it up you better believe I would be judgemental and even angry
What gives God the right to judge us ?
What is Gods moral justification exactly?
@@jasonnoble7302 I answered that in my post.......
@@jasonnoble7302 God created the entire universe along with everything inside of it, if a programmer creates and owns an AI who tells the AI "do action 1 , don't do action 2" and the AI does action 2 it defied and rejected the programmer, in turn defying and rejecting the AI's purpose for creation therefore the programmer has every right to delete the AI.
@@ToThePointCT
No you didn’t
All you did was repeat your premise
Just because God created the universe is NOT a justification for him to judge us
All you’re saying is because God has the power he has the right
Which is just might makes right
Are you saying because God has the power he has the right ?
Or do you have a different justification?
@@SirNoticules
Yeah ?
What gives the programmer that right ?
Power over its program ?
Jesus stood before the Sanhedrin and told them I and my Father are one and the same.
Keep reading, don't cherry pick or add anything. Jesus added you can become one JUST AS I and the father are one so that we may all be one. Jesus was not saying we are part of the God head but we are all in union with God.in purpose and truth.
@@jonathannorton563 you make about as much since as a monkey swimming across the ocean. I was only saying what Jesus said when he was ask was he God. Sure we all mush live as perfect as we can but that is not possible. On Jesus did that as He was God.
@@jonathannorton563 25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[c]; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”

King of what ?
Moral evil ?
@@jasonnoble7302 It's a little more complicated but basically Jesus Christ IS God, so king of the world and the ruler of all in it.
@@jasonnoble7302 why do people like you spam post on these subjects? I get it you're a non believer... Cool. But what's your justification for judging, yes you're judging, other people's belief systems? Can't you watch some videos you like, that make you smile?
@@ToThePointCT
I’m questioning your claims
I was invited here by Stewart
My justification is to fulfill Stewart’s request
Now how about you answer my question
I can't even get through 15 minutes of these videos
The pride and ignorance of these kids is freaking STAGGERING and intolerable!
Kudos to Cliffe for not going off on them
They were much better than the kids who are feminists, LBGTQ+, etc... in the college debates (see Charlie Kirk). These kids at least asked, listened, thought and answered. Whether they agree or not, an exchange was occurred and God's message can be delivered. However, those kids were challange, wait for their turn and talk again...
By this point he's heard all this 100 times and knows what to say
I’m sorry. But is it not wonderful that many people want to see what others are thinking. I see very respectful young people here. And I am an old lady.
He doesnt know what to say to alot though...like the foreskin craziness in the bible probably and others id assume@christophertaylor9100
This is super tame in its era compared to contemporary 'street preachers'. Have you seen 'GabeTheStreetPreacher'? Freakin crazy campus encounters!
The last guy was something else😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
If someone violates his personhood, hopefully he will come see the inconsistency of moral relativism.
Whats wrong with what he's saying ?
@@As-zx1ww Everything it's subjective and opinion based not factual.
@@justingary5322 i mean i dont think he's correct but ots coherent at least
@@As-zx1wwNot so imo.. Like when he says -- he would probably try harder even than cliff to stop the shooter in mcdonalds for 'selfish' reasons. First of all, we'd all agree this is a selfless act, even if it also somehow selfish in one's own mind. More to the point -- He fails to respect their evil while he respects his own good... Which is the opposite of what he said he does at the beginning of the conversation, which is respect all good and evil paths equally.
Cliff called him out as not being able to live as he says, and while Cliff may not have pointed it out as I did, it's clearly there.. But honestly, even most of the unbelievers around that day were probably thinking the kid is a bit twisted in his logic.
He's just being a rebellious spirit. Like when you ask someone if they have ever lied, and they have the gall to say they never have.. Literally doing the very thing as they claim they never have.
Fabulous watching a young Muslim woman listening…..
and trying to understand…. Jesus ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great job...look at the intently listening faces of the people that are searching and actually finding what they need. So good to see.
I cant even describe how much I learned from Cliffe❤
Cliff has changed so many lives. I know many high schoolers who never entered a church ... but found Jesus and had difficult questions answered by Cliff who is led by the Holy Spirit.
I always love how Pastor Cliffe answers them, gave me wisdom too. 😊❤
Do not fear the judgement of man fear the judgement of a righteous and holy God.🙏🙏🙏
A Deo-phobia?
I just repented from my sin to try and fully follow god, I am sick of sinning and asking forgiveness to just do it again. I dont want to do anything but try and live for jesus as I have lived in sin a lot of my christian life unfortunately. When I live in the flesh or give myself licence to sin I just am unhappy, I am way better when I try and follow God 100%.
I cant believe how much time i have wasted.
Am really really blessed by this Man of God
I'm not Jewish, but having read the whole Bible, I know the power and meaning behind Christ saying, "I am." It was His claim of being God.
Now these are college students who want to learn so much more than the college students today
Your patience with these kids is impressive. Love watching you do your thing out in the streets. ❤️✝️❤️✝️❤️✝️🙏🙏🙏

God is the Determiner of who is and who isn’t. I don’t judge for God..but I judge for myself. 😊❤
Anyone can claim to have read the scriptures from cover to cover, but studying the different genres and reading in context is crucial to understanding the nature of the Trinity and God's plan for salvation through Moses to Jesus Christ. Praise God we and lean on others who have devoted their lives in ministry and teaching for guidance in discernment and truth of God's word.
Did I just listen to a kid defend assault and rape for 5 minutes just to not admit he was wrong? Wtf is being taught in these schools?
The devil..period
@Sethhaun78 Not Devil, it's sin since Sin is a by product of going against God, just as devil went against God since devil is a sinner too, and not THE sin. We also inherited a rebellious sinful nature because we all are sinners and our natural instinct is to go against God which is why we by ourselves cannot save ourselves but can be saved only trought Jesus Christ, so I would just say that the kid was being rebellious and simply saying everything opposite of what Cliff was saying because teenagers are rebellious but that trait is more apperant in them since he is still a kid and kids usually are not smart or wise and thus their rebellious nature is more pure, and by pure I mean that they don't know how to hide it.
@@ILrukiamaxim55 sometimes sure ..but your forgetting testing the spirit s...THEY ARE REAL DEMONIC SPIRITS THAT USE PEOPLE ..,they don't know there possession..I know this for fact I was SHOWN ..and was also under demonic control until I sought after truth and God..will never forget that April. On my knees in contrition repentance trembling fear in the shower broad daylight, I witnessed the devil FLEE and was bornagain in spirit and water 💦...there is no mistaken this gift from God...to many don't understand there is unseen relm and yes the devil is like roaring lion so don't think it's always someone being rebellious..if they have not Been bornagain. Christian..then it's very likely....fallen creation of sin...however as I stated he makes you new creation in spirit...always test THE SPIRIT S
Yoooooo that he thought about it and said yes is ok.
It is very difficult to admit you are wrong, especially at that age. Too much ego is wrapped up in it, too much of your understanding of your value is involved in being right.
Keep up with the great work, guys!
Your channel is amazing!
God bless you all!
Uncle cliff made me forgot I was having a shift, my boss almost fired me,,, hey keep your videos very long,,just want to keep watching, please God may cliffe live long so we can keep hearing from him
Dude, do your job properly, be responsible.
You can always watch his videos later, anytime when you're free.
👍 I can’t get enough of Cliffe
This is wonderful. Cliffe Knechtle is knowledgeable and kind to explain the truth. It is inspired by the Holy Spirit.

The odds against 500 people having the same hallucination at different times and in different locations are so astronomical that it makes more sense to believe the 500 people saw what they claim they saw than the belief they could have had the same hallucination.
That is what I was thinking. But people today seem have this inability to trust any person who is from a different time or culture than themselves. They seem to think that anyone born over 100 years ago is automatically not credible & were nothing but heathens. I find that to be incredibly arrogant & ignorant. Those people are our ancestors, & if it weren't for them we would not be here today. & we spit on their graves today & shame them in death. Very odd. Sure our cultures & beliefs have changed evolved, as they have for thousands of years along with our technology. Some for the better, some for the worse. That doesn't mean that the people of the past & their ideas are obsolete.
People like Cliff make the world better.
The last guy just straight evil, bros irl Sukuna 😭😭
He doesn’t mean a word he says
He could just be from a Muslim background thinking this stuff is normal and necessary.. I agree he's repulsive
He says he wants people to have the freedom to be evil and the freedom to be good. There is no good or evil in his worldview so I dont know why he would use those words lol. Pray for him that he may find the truth.
the book revelation 1: 11 I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last
1:17-18. I am the first and the last, I am he that liveth, and was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of dead.
Matthew 4:8 and 10 said Jesus said to the devil, Thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God, Thou shall worship the Lord thy God, and him only shall thou serve. These verses prove that Jesus is God
Love this 😍
Kudos to those who are asking Cliffe because they are polite and are willing to listen.
God is using brother Cliffe in an amazing and awesome way! May the Lord bless him and his family.
Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords!!!! JESUS IS GOD❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Cliffe is truly gifted. I love the way God uses him.
I appreciate your explanations to all questions; may Holy Spirit help and guide us all to the Truth.
MAN CLIFF YOU ARE THE MAN......
Excellent Preaching 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💕
I like how Cliffe Knechtle speaks... very direct.
"Practice righteous judgment" - Jesus (John 7:24b) ...
Agreed
Cliffe thank you for spreading the word and for opening eyes to Jesus Christ
We are not meant to be conformed by the ideas of the world but to live out Christ and His teachings so that people can witness divine nature being morally superior and reliable.
16:41 people have actually proved that it would be impossible for that many people to have the same illusions/hallucinations at the same time
When I was almost 16 years old I was almost killed in a violent assault.I was life flighted to Pittsburgh and in that helicopter I died for 2 and a half minutes.I can tell you for certain that I left my body and found myself being guided through a tunnel towards the most beautiful light, I didn't see Jesus or angels but I know I was being guided and I was not alone.As I was floating forward I began to slow and found myself being pulled backwards.I remember taking a deep breath in and my eyes opened and I was laying in a hospital room with tube's in my body and I couldn't move except for blinking and seeing.I awoke from a coma after 4 days and I can assure you that the light is absolutely real and so is GOD.I promise all of you watching.GOD Bless those that don't know YESHUA!
Baloney, bigotry, wake up and smell the coffee, intelectualy dishonest, i do not know. Blowing smoke. Man i think ill add those to my vocabulary 😂
I suppose you know the evolutionary explanation for the STD pandemic? 1 in 5, 68 million Americans have an STD. 26 million new cases per year with increasing virulence. Gonorrhea is a nearly untreatable super bug? (CDC 2018) You might want to look up the definition of a bigot. Post a reference to anyone having conclusively demonstrated life has a natural origin. Prove there is no God who has given us the principals by which we may live a good life as He intended. Fornicating like monkey's isn't one of them.
Talk about intellectual dishonesty?
Christians are the intellectual dishonest people around here
Or when he says, "They're out to lunch!" 😂 I've never heard that expression in my life until I started watching Cliffe
I will do the same but I do not know how to say this in spanish😅
@@eldelsanti9925 acorda y sente o cheiro de lo cafe, usted eres intelectualmente deshonesto, yo no sei. Im not sure about the spelling but i tried my best. I dont know all
Everyone loves to quote the first part...
"Judge not, that ye be not judged."
But they REALLY love to ignore the rest...
"For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."
In other words... Don't condemn someone more harshly than you would condemn yourself for the same/similar transgressions.
Hi Cliff. I'm not arguing your point. Just stating a fact.
Abraham and Moses, may not have known the 'word' Jesus but they did SEE and TALK to Him. Adam and Eve also saw and talked to Him in the Garden Of Eden.
Jesus met Abraham and moses in person during the transfiguration remember. Also he went and released their souls after he died in the flesh
Every one of us deserves hell. Not a single person walking this earth, save Jesus Christ, was ever without sin, will ever be without sin. If God sent every one of us to hell, he would have been just.
Only those that are saved by the doing and dying of Jesus Christ, with Him living the perfect life that we ought, and paying the price we deserve to pay, in our place... only those are saved, and escape hell.
Chrsitians need to start judging more. He said not judge in hypocrisy. This world is getting out of hand, people are living in their sin. Jesus said sell your cloak, and buy a sword. You think Jesus who is God any different than the Father who will wipe out the world? Righteousness above all, Chrsitians have allowed this world to get out ofnhand by allowing the nonsense going on. Either we fix this world, or God will fix it, we need to stop being pacifists.
Qur'an 3:54 😈

Yeah well the sincerely ignorant put everything in a pot hoping something will come of it. God isn’t bad guy because He is the authority of His creation, He should be in charge. We can’t be in charge because we don’t have the righteousness, infinite knowledge nor power to be in charge of the universe, earth or ourselves. We need God to guide us.
@@gingercake0907 amen brother
Thank you for all you do. Your patience is God given.
I watch you & I think my grandkids generation simple over thinks. God made salvation easy because He knows us! God bless you.
As always.. without lies atheism dies
As a father and step father, watching this is like when i am trying to argue something with my teenagers that isn't all that hard to understand, yet they will argue and try their hardest to outwit me even though the answer would be crystal clear to most people. That's what watching some of these reminded me of- I know first hand just how draining it can be. Nice work.
Whenever people make claims about Gods power in saying he wouldn’t need to come down to earth…… EXACTLY that’s how powerful he is. He is something you cannot fully understand
Happy Father’s Day Cliff.
Even the demons in those that he cast out declared who he was. They knew what authority he held over them and begged mercy.
Come back to University of Florida. We need these talks
I do love Cliff’s apologetics!❤️🙏🏻✝️
It's say to not judge by sight but judge righteously
"For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you". I am a Christian and I will judge you by the word of Jesus; I am perfectly happy with that as you should be.
Guys help I’m scared I’m trying to grow closer but I’ve struggling to grow closer and how do I repent right now
Don't get pressured. Just keep on seeking God's words and continue to pray. The Holy Spirit will guide you. Videos like these is a great way to opening yourselves to the teachings of the Bible. A local Church or community will also help out a lot.
That's the thing about repentance, it's not instant. Repentance is a continuous thing, something that you work for every day until the day you die. Just keep at it and always pray for Holy Spirit to strengthen you each day, God bless you.
Learning and knowing Gods love more and loving Him more and sharing this love! The book of John is an amazing place to start ❤️
What @YosafatNugraha said is correct. But also the Bible says to come BOLDLY before the throne of grace for mercy (Hebrews 4:16). You have to understand that being born again, you are now CHILD of GOD and considering how a human good father would give their child food when they ask for it (and not a snake or a stone), how much more the GOOD GOD who even came down and DIED just for you.
Look at the parable Jesus told about the prodigal son. Notice how even after the son went away and did away with the Father's money foolishly, they had the CONFIDENCE that their Father was good enough to even accept him back as a slave. He was confident in the goodness and mercy of his Father. Not to talk of how it actually turned out, where the son ended up receiving goods and a party for his return.
Your Father is THE Good GOD of The Universe.
Like @YosafatNugraha said repentance is continuous, it is not just saying sorry. It is CHANGE following that, the change in behaviour and mind in attempt to align with GOD. It can be little by little. But know, and have confidence, that your FATHER is there for you and that he will ALWAYS accept you should you come humbly before him in repentance.
I recommend reading Romans.
GOD BLESS YOU
Salvation is free, it's a free gift, a spiritual journey, a dedication of your spirit man to the kingdom of heaven.
Hope you find your place with the Lord Jesus Christ.
🙏🏻✝️
We need the whole convo! I was really getting into the last one i wanted to see where that discussion went
Final Judgment is different than using the good judgment that is a needed to make free will decisions about what is right and what is wrong or what you will allow others to do to do unto you.
Just say No to injury - injustice.
Pray.
21:06 😂 the person off screen said "OMG" after the statement.
😂😂😂lol I just noticed
😂😂 I went back...
That person is so over the guy. 😅
😂😂😂😂 @@kaybee4132
Love the way he teaches.
Ok let’s change positions. How much do you think she knows about the Quran? I mean, she definitely learned how to “debunk” Christianity.. but what about her own believes?
🙏🏽🎚️
Exactly
If you read John 1, it talks about the beginning....There was the Word in the beginning, the word was with God and the word was God.
The bible says Jesus is the word of God. He was in the beginning, he was with God . He was God..He is 3 but 1 God I know not how, Father, Son, Holy spirit❤❤
I think when she asked for proof that Jesus claimed to be God, I would’ve quoted John 10:30 where Jesus said I and the father are one
Also Jesus said i forgive your sins go sin no more. Only God can forgivd sins so he said that hes God and he is the Almighty God
that guy was scary as hell saying “its my goal in life to let everyone have the complete freedom to do what they want, evil or no evil” 😮
Even the old testament prophesies the messiah to be the Son of God, and God himself. Isaiah calls him 'mighty God'.
Isaiah 9:6 NKJV
[6] "For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
The best argument for the last kid is if everything is subjective and equally valid than someone saying you are wrong would directly contradict that, we can't both be equally right if i directly contradict you, moral relativism swallows its own tail.
Icor11:31:32 talks about judging our self, judgement is accessing thing. We are supposed to access thing and if we would walk in the light of God by listening to his word , we would see that God gives us the ability to access thing through his word.
World has lost its mind.. be safe. Be good. Smile. Do something nice for a stranger. Life is good. 🤙
John 14:11 is a declaration of divinity: "Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me"
What a fantastic conversation!
"There's Ignorance in left field, Hypocrisy in right, Apathy in center, Spoiling for a fight...."
--From my poem "Batter Up."
May our Lord, in His great love and mercy, give you strength and wisdom to help these kids.
You take the I am verse out of context there was one before Abraham which is God I am what I am God. They wanted to kill him for calling himself the Son of God making himself equal to God not God, for Jesus became the Father that goes by the name of God. Hebrews 5:8:was the Son, Hebrews 5:9 which was made perfect Matthew 5:48 which is the Father, which fulfilled Isaiah 9:6 Jesus is King of his own kingdom John 18:36 God bless
God bless you for sharing this wisdom with us sir ❤🙏
This was powerful amen
Notice how that kid at the end flip-flopped on whether it's okay for a man to beat his wife? Classic.
God bless you 🙏🏽 sir i can't deal with hard headed people..God/JESUS shouldn't be forced on anyone..their hearts are so hard and closed to God...i wish i could watch this whole video but i can't 😢😢
The BIBLE didn't say " Do not judge " but rather says " JUDGE RIGHTEOUSLY " through the MORAL LAWS of ALMIGHTY GOD ,i.e., THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ".
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS is like a MIRROR to see our FLAWS.
GOD BLESS everyone!!!
There's a big difference between using your judgement and being judgemental
How do we know if we are doing God's will and not our own and how do we determine if we are serving God with our skill/talent?
A cop can never arrest anyone with out judging them , dont be stupid. We are supposed to judge all things 1 corrinthians 2:15
I love Cliff. Hits these young ppl with Logic and Christ. Can't deny either
Brilliant. If he can’t explain it you CHOOSE to not understand!
People don’t know what freedom really means. To some freedom is just I can do whatever I want and no one SHOULD stop me because I want it. And the last kid was a proof of this, and there are still millions who think the exact same. And this is not just a problem in the US, where freedom is emphasized, but sadly many who don’t believe in God in the world. That’s not freedom, that’s disorder. There’s so much to say on this, but I sincerely pray for that young man. Like Cliffe said, that young man doesn’t believe what he said himself, he just was in his pride and simply was there to “prove people wrong” by throwing some invalid statements.
Philip said “Show us the Father Jesus replied, and said, have I been with you so long, and you do not know me”
its amazing how respectful college students were back then compared to now. That's proves one thing - Societal Decay. its getting worse and worse, kids nowadays think they have some better understanding of things yet they are confused about gender. They just don't see it. its really sad
It says "Judge not lest ye be judged," so if you're fine with being judged, as I am, judge away...
Even with my lack of good education and even my lack of pursuing to fix Completely or mostly that problem. That I still learned the differences of Honestly and correctly judging. Compared to being judgemental. Which is incorrect use of judging. And if we look at the scriptures, it doesn't simply say, "not to judge." It says, not to be judging incorrectly And not to judge others in a way that we shouldn't & thus don't want to be judged. If we actualy Honestly and sincerely and completely read the whole verses of scripture. That are talking about this Idea, of judging and miss judging.
And not judging in arrogance, in assumptions. To not be
doing it in self-righteousness, in arrogance,
in false self importance. Since we are all guilty before God. Especially since we all need his salvation redemption price paid for us all In our faults. Especially the willful ones. The ones we make excuses and reasons for.
So let's stop rejecting him and his great gift to us. And turn to Him, Completely and without reserve. To help us to repent. And thus to change our hearts and minds and our actions, throughout each and every day. And first and foremost to trust in Him, And the price he paid when he stood in our place.
Of guilt. To be our salvation, And that it has nothing to do with our good works.
Thank you, Dear God & Father, for making this possible between you and us, to be redeemed unto you, our Creator and savior. ❤
The HOLY BIBLE says " JUDGE RIGHTEOUSLY" NOT on our own RIGHTEOUSNESSbut rather according to the RIGHTEOUSNESS of GOD, i.e., THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, the MORAL LAW of GOD.
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS is like a MIRROR to expose our FLAWS.
GOD BLESS everyone!!!
