Cliffe Classics #21 - Give Me an Answer

- Recorded - Fall 2003
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.

This video is about 20 years old. It's nice to see respectful students having a discussion about religion. On today's campuses there is a lot of division and a lack of respect for religion. Wokeism reigns and free speech is suppressed.
Oh this is such an old video
Decency of the dressing shows that#when sanity actually prevailed then!
Students back then had respect and morals even if they were raised leftist or atheist.
Define woke.
It's funny how he says being violent towards someone, but he wasn't referring to anything physical at all.. clearly back then, they didn't know what violence was either🤦🏾♂️
I had 0 knowledge about The Holy Scriptures before I fell asleep driving home from work training(a wrestler)working out. Only to run my truck into a culvert. Loooooong bloody story short Jesus is God Almighty amen
Cliffe is dead-on about the mid-life crisis. I’m a 42 year old software engineer. There is not much higher to possibly go in my industry. I make 5x the money I ever dreamed I would make. After about 3 years of that it’s become readily apparent, to use Cliffe’s analogy, that my ladder is not leaning on any wall, and it’s just falling over at full speed. So here I am.
GOD bless you
its an honor to read your comment and see how far you have come in life
How are you doing 6 months later?
Who is here this year?
Here where?
Me!!!!!
The segment from 9:00 to 14:00 explains so well why good works won't get you to Heaven and why goodness comes from God.
That's why most people feel empty even though they have a family and a good job. Because that's not their purpose in life. All of our purpose in life is to serve god. Walk by the spirit (serve god) and your emptiness will be filled. 😊 God bless my friends.
"Commit your work to the lord and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3
Is that the reason God created this world and us humans for? To 'serve' him? But he doesn't need anything, does he? What does that mean "to serve" God?
@@tTtt-ho3tq we don't know why God created the world or why he created us.
To serve god is to THANK him, obey his commandments and live righteously. God comes first before everything. When you put him first then everything that your heart desires will be added to you. He wants you to be successful through him. 🙂
It does not mean to be a slave or become what many call a "Jesus freak" or any of that.

I thought it's important to know the reason he created the world and us to know why we're here. I may be just simple and stupid, sorry.
The thing is we're here in a short period but in heaven for eternity. But we're all righteous in heaven because there's no sin in heaven. What does that mean by successful? How do we become successful in heaven?
Iig he wants us to be happy and successful. Why sufferings? I know free will, but in heaven ... He wants us to 'THANK' him? That don't sound right, though. He wants somebody to thank him? He doesn't need anything, though. Sorry, I'm too simple.
I think we all want to know the answer to your question. It's a good question. When you meet him you can ask him.
I meant that if we put god first in our lives, then we will be successful here on earth. We will have a good job and find love. All the things we want we will have because we thanked God everyday and lived righteously here on earth.
We don't why God allows suffering.
But we do know that the kingdom of heaven does exist. And if we do as he commands then we ill inherit it. 😊.
You're thinking is not simple. It's exactly what you should be thinking. Now educate yourself on Jesus and he and God will answer all your questions I promise. The bible has all the answers it's so amazing. 😊

If this man ever comes to Houston, I would love to speak with him. Love this guy
No way u live in Houston too? I'm 17 & live in Magnolia
I live in Newark, NJ so he has to come to The East Coast of The USA. AMEN I love the Knechtle's doing Apologetics as a family as we were all once sinners who needed to be saved by God's Grace through Faith in Him 🙏❤️👊. I was an atheist and agnostic from 17-19 years old until I discovered evidence of God's Existence and Christianity myself. Creation requires a Creator we human beings would call God. Atheists seem to think that God cares if we know that He exists or not obviously don't understand why the last book of The Bible is called Revelation because He finally reveals Himself to the whole world. Jesus The Christ of Nazareth (Yeshua H'Mashiac The Messiah in Hebrew) is The Son of The Living God came to save us from the Eternal consequences of our sins. 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 23 year old 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 " On The Origin of 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.

Jesus made the exclusive claim "I am the way, the truth and the life, no comes to the father but by me" (John 14:6) to show He is God incarnate. God became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ to forgive sin and reconcile man to Himself. To reject Christ is to reject His free gift of love and mercy so therefore anyone who puts their trust in Jesus Christ will inherit eternal life and heaven is the final destination. All other religious prophets have some truth, but not to the extent of forgiving sins and hold power over death hence the resurrection. (Romans 6:23) "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ."
Amen Pastor Cliffe! God bless you.

That’s not God saying it.
That’s thousand upon thousand of scribes reading and writing a story that originally was past on by word of mouth for 60+ years after the death of Jesus
Can you imagine how long that story took to tell by word of mouth before being written down on manuscript?
You believe this story is accurate and true ?
Come on we’re in the year 2023 for crying out loud 🤷♂️
@@jasonnoble7302 2 Timothy 3:16-17. All scripture is God-breathed, inspired by the Holy Spirit. Also think about it, why would humans, who are so futile, so fallible, construct this elaborate story about a God who gives us all these commands to be selfless, deny ourselves, etc. when we obviously can’t do those things ourselves ? If we were to create these stories, wouldn’t that God be okay with our sin, or condone whatever we wanted him to? So yeah, I do still believe in the Word of God in 2023.
@@dana0375
Why would they construct a story that gave them power over other people?
Well I think I’ve given you one of many likely reasons
@@jasonnoble7302You will have to die one day and when you face God for judgement it won't matter what you believe on this earth, and you can't say you didn't know, because it'll be too late by then.
Get right with God now my friend, and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life or perish to hell. Jesus is the only way to the Father in heaven and you don't have to understand it now, just believe His death and resurrection, and knowing that He died for us, and yes you too.
If you reject then you are choosing to go to hell and live separate from God who loves you and created you.
Trying to rationalize your own flawed perspective on God and the Bible when you know nothing about it is foolish. So your disbelief is not intellectual it's volitional, meaning you don't want it to be true, you are too in love with your sins, or shall I say a slave to them. Choose Christ my friend.
28:50 - So telling... "I'm comfortable with that." It's not evidence then, is it?

So what?
What’s well said ?
Looks like a lot of presupposing to me
@jasonnoble7302 he backs up what he said and why he says it, read it for yourself if you aren't lazy and want to know
Beautifully put, "we all have a way that we go about determining our meaning in life, the ethics that we embrace, our view of the future what happens after death all of us have a world view", agnostics find themselves at odds with reality & want to make it for themselves, no matter how inconsistent & nonsensical with actual reality; they cant even give a cohesive foundation they believe what they do, they supress the truth in unrighteousness (supernaturally prophetically fulfilling Romans 1:18).
I pray the only triune God of the:
1)supernaturally prophetic fulfilled in reality (Romans 1:26-32/2 Timothy 4:3/Matthew 24:6/1 Corinthians 1:18)
2)historically verified (archaeologically & anthropologically by Christians & non-Christians w/enemy/early/multiple attestation, internal consistency, embarrassing reports, etc.)
3)transcendentally/objectively moral (Exodus 20/Matthew 22:37-40) Holy Bible reveals Himself to you in Spirit & objective truth (John 16:13).
May the triune, infallible, omniscient God bless you with faith in Him, not fallible man’s limited knowledge of theories.
I wish I was 19 in 2003. Not 19 in 2023.
Same🥲 our generation sucks
@@brycevanderhart2461instead of accepting the fact that our generation sucks maybe try to create change within our generation, frankly I don’t think their is a generation better or worse than a other. Humans are wicked their are wicked mallenias, baby boomers, gen z, and much more. We need to do our part in helping our fellow brothers and sisters and none of suck we are all Gods creation.

God choose you for this time
was 19 in 1980 ,makes no difference but who you are ,the more you think it changes the more it stays the same -generations are similar as long as truth prevails.
Those who don’t believe in God do so because it makes them feel important. Check this out. Compared to God we are nothing. Not that same kind of nothingness compared to the universe. It’s a nothing compared to an intelligent being.And who wants to be nothing? No one wants to be nothing. But like it or lump it that’s exactly what we are compared to God. Hence the appeal of atheism. It solves the nothingness problem. But God still exists.
Boy . . . you sure are screwed up.
Man exists which makes him a thing (Something).
God does not exist which makes him not a thing (Nothing).

Calm down
Please stop picking on Bonnie 🤣
I wonder how the young man in blue that is “ satisfied” with uncertainty. Let me see how he feels when he’s 50, divorced with kids on drugs. Finds his job isn’t satisfying. He won’t be satisfied with uncertainty.
cliffe agreed with him that there are lots and lots of things that we're lacking in knowledge. He seemed pretty assured and well spoken to me.
Never seen this intro b4. Loved it
If we prefer another to Jesus Christ, who was and is God with us, who sacrificed His life for us, and said He was the way the truth and the life, AND that no man cometh to the father except through Him, THEN why complain if everlasting life is not obtaining by rejecting Him. There is only one way, and that’s through Jesus Christ. God said it. That’s the end of it.
A book might say it
But God ?
Nah…
Just people Paul
People say all kinds of things

Though we who have sinned are not worthy to be a friend of Jesus, who is good, holy and true and never sinned, Nevertheless He is our true friend. Our very best friend.

FACTS. AMEN I love the Knechtle's doing Apologetics as a family as we were all once sinners who needed to be saved by God's Grace through Faith in Him 🙏❤️👊. I was an atheist and agnostic from 17-19 years old until I discovered evidence of God's Existence and Christianity myself. Creation requires a Creator we human beings would call God. Atheists seem to think that God cares if we know that He exists or not obviously don't understand why the last book of The Bible is called Revelation because He finally reveals Himself to the whole world. Jesus The Christ of Nazareth (Yeshua H'Mashiac The Messiah in Hebrew) is The Son of The Living God came to save us from the Eternal consequences of our sins. 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 23 year old 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.

Funny how the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars can still go to heaven by accepting Christ. But happen to be a Buddhist actively trying to live a good life off to the lake of fire with you.

This was 20 years ago and Cliffe still looks exactly the same today. What's going on?
I used to be an atheist with the same viewpoint as the guy in the later half about uncertainty but now i just think it was a silly mindset to have. Truly embracing uncertainty is putting faith in the creator. I was just too wrapped up in sin and my enjoyment of it to admit it.
The best answer to people going to hell I heard from Dr. Frank Turek, "God loves you too much to force you into His kingdom". Force is not love. God's love is the same love described in 1st Corinthians 13. Some just don't get it, but I keep praying they do.
Amen! Very powerfully put!
Some might think it’s unfair that the many who are raised in a religion that disagrees with Jesus Christ, such as religious Jews, who have not the advantage of knowing the truth pertaining to Jesus Christ, because it’s blocked from them, SHOULD not be penalised by God.
However God is fair. Therefore as God is fair we can say this. God knows who will and who won’t follow Jesus Christ, if given the perfect circumstances to do so,
THEREFORE those who seemed trapped ( some become wonderfully untrapped ) in religions that oppose Jesus Christ, are there because God knows that even if they were given every opportunity under the sun, to know the truth of Jesus Christ, nevertheless they would still not accept it
and therefore reject it.
All you stated was that God is actually unfair because He judges people based on whether or not they would accept His truth even if they were not presented the opportunity. That is NOT fairness and not how God operates. God gives ALL opportunity to know His name and obtain salvation. Do not preach heresy. This is why so many turn away from the gospel because people teach things that are not grasped or understood.
P.S. For those who may not ever get an opportunity to receive God, because we have an adversary, the belief is they are granted 'invincible ignorance'. For example, a baby obviously cannot obtain salvation under their own will. If a baby dies, then they are automatically granted salvation. Did Jesus not die for all of mankind, even though not all are saved when He did so? God calls Himself a righteous Judge. He doesn't send people to hell based on one factor, accepting Jesus. He looks at the totality of the circumstance to determine if salvation should be granted. Jesus' death was not in vain
People in North Korea, are another example. They are not allowed Christian Bibles, Bibles are not sold in North Korea and, they cannot purchase Bibles online -- it's not optional Anyone caught reading a Bible are subject to being killed. In instances like this, God reveals Himself to people through revelation knowledge and people come to accept Jesus that way. God has all sorts of ways to get people saved through Jesus.
The average Joe, however, who has heard about Jesus and doesn't accept him, that person is in trouble.
@@warriorgp4640 God, unlike man, knows all things without having to have the proof, that man requires, of a person turning to Jesus Christ.
God knows whether or not a person would turn to Jesus Christ, if given the perfect opportunity to do so.
If God knows that a baby who dies at birth would have ultimately become a dreadful satanist, if it lived long enough to do so, God will therefore judge the soul on this basis.
But man operates on the basis of proof. However God knows without proof because God knows everything.
God knew before He created the angels that one third would fall. He therefore could have elected to not have created these fallen ones, so heaven would have been without this contamination.
But nevertheless God brings them into existence so that visible proof is obtained, bringing no dispute as to their guilt for the judgement resulting in their final destruction.
And their rebellion against God is used by the remaining holy angels as a comparison between light and dark, so they can know the greatness of the light they have.
And because the holy angels proved to themselves with their loyalty to God, a proving which God didn’t require because He knows without proof, nevertheless this proving improved the character of these ones who obtained the proof.
And likewise, we too, who prove ourselves to God with our fierce allegiance to Him, when we turn away from our sinful ways, obtain the benefit of this proof, as did the angels in heaven who did not succumb to the rebellion, and thereby obtained a greater character.
We know that God is the ultimate judge and that His judgments are fair and just and true. And whilst we don’t know what God knows, however we do know that those who die without proving themselves to be either holy and righteous or wicked and evil, God knows and therefore will judge accordingly.
@@warriorgp4640 God who is running the show knows that we prefer a life of proof. And it’s our preference to believe that those North Koreans who are prevented from knowing the truth pertaining to the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ, are innocent, because they lack the opportunity to prove their loyalty to God.
Maybe we can say that perhaps all North Koreans are saved because they are innocent until proven guilty. But this is man’s way and not God’s way.
God’s ways are higher than man’s ways. And we are not the judge and jury with flaws but the flawless God is the dependable judge and it’s He who judges all and not us.
However we do know from the scriptures that God has predestinated some, but not all to be saved, although all would be saved and predestined to do so , if they had the innate wherewithal to be devoted to God.
Seemingly from our human standpoint those North Koreans are not predestined to outwardly have the honour of standing out as saved people. And whilst they seemingly are not predestined, it does not mean that they will necessarily perish in the great judgement, because God will judge fairly.
From a human perspective it would seem that those who are not predestined shall perish. But this is not for man to say. God is the judge of all and He will judge fairly.
@@warriorgp4640 Whilst here on earth we the saved are not judge and jury saying who is guilty of everlasting damnation.
For how can we forget when we too were reprobates towards God leading rebellious lives and loving our sinful ways.
And as we do not always easily know those whom God has for-chosen to be saved, because they have the inherent capacity, perhaps unbeknown to themselves, to repent of their own free will, WE therefore give everyone, including the least likely, the benefit of the doubt. We cut everyone a break.
Who is their wildest imaginations would have ever thought that Saul of Tarsus, the persecutor of the early church, would become the apostle Paul to the Gentiles.
Therefore using this wonderful example of Paul’s conversion on the way to Damascus we too believe all men can be saved even though the scriptures clearly tell us it will be few.
Answer this one question, how do you know?
(Deuteronomy 23:1-2 ESV)
1 “No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord. 2 “No one born of a forbidden union may enter the assembly of the Lord. Even to the tenth generation, none of his descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord.
(Leviticus 21:17-23 NIV)
17 “Say to Aaron: ‘For the generations to come none of your descendants who has a defect may come near to offer the food of his God. 18 No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed; 19 no man with a crippled foot or hand, 20 or who is a hunchback or a dwarf, or who has any eye defect, or who has festering or running sores or damaged testicles. 21 No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any defect is to come near to present the food offerings to the Lord. He has a defect; he must not come near to offer the food of his God. 22 He may eat the most holy food of his God, as well as the holy food; 23 yet because of his defect, he must not go near the curtain or approach the altar, and so desecrate my sanctuary. I am the Lord, who makes them holy.’”
Nietzsche was wrong when he said that "God is dead". Gods never existed outside the human brains that created them - just as Cliffe is doing now.

AMEN to that ending Cliffe that was beautiful and so very true. I use these videos to get my friends talking about Christ and hopefully get them to believe, it’s slow but I am making progress thanks to these rational arguments you make. God bless
When you say you don’t know how the earth started, Didn’t God speak it into existence? I know you said He made the cosmos, but each day He made something; except the 7th day. Why don’t you tell the students that?? I love your videos and you are right on, on a lot of things. I enjoy them so much. I’m not trying to correct you. My Pastor dad taught me a lot.
Sometimes one liners aren’t where it’s at. But sometimes they can summarise things. Let me tell those who don’t want to accept Christ why they are finding it to be too big a leap for them. Ready? Ok ready steady go. It’s because it’s too humiliating for you.
I don't think that's just it, the thing I believe why most don't follow Christ is the ability to surrender themselves. The submit to God, most of us grew up hard and we thought we had it under control. Not thinking that God was taking care of was the entire time. That is where pride also comes in, so to completely submit to God is probably the issue to those who just refuse to believe.
@@lordsdisciple It’s an interesting topic. In life whether we realise it or not we are wanting to be accepted by the society we deem to be the worthwhile one.
Ideally this acceptance should contain some respect or admiration. But this society probably would not include a lost tribe in the middle of the Amazon jungle. We probably don’t care what they think of us.
But we also know when we surrender to Jesus Christ that we won’t be getting a standing ovation from those who are not doing the same.
And this lack of approval has a deterring effect upon those who are trying to take the plunge of full and open submission to Jesus Christ.
I speak for myself when I say that initially I was ashamed of my stand for Jesus Christ, not like I am today.
Paul the apostle well knowing of this problem encourages us to be unashamed with the following verse. “ for I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation.”
But I think that all of what you are saying is also true. It’s a combination of them all. Good points. Thank you. I appreciate it.
@@paulwilfridhunt People don't want to accept Christ because they don't want to stop sinning. We are naturally attracted to sin since we born into sin. Religious Lukewarm Christians turn them off. Not Christ.
@@1saamor897 Yes I think what you are saying is right. People inherently don’t want to quit sinning and amend their ways, hence generally speaking this a reason why they don’t want to be a follower of Jesus Christ, but it’s not the only reason.
And as you say those Luke warm Christians are not a particularly effective witnesses. They look like worldlings except they have the Christian badge. Where is their holiness? Where is their desire to become dead to sin?
However we should not underestimate the restrictive power the world is under of needing and wanting to conform. This is a captivity that’s very difficult to break free from.
In life we all want to be accepted and we behave in various ways hoping that such behaviour will produce this acceptance.
We want to be useful instead of useless. We want to be worthwhile instead of worthless. We want to be important instead of being of no importance whatsoever. God has made us this way. But pleasing God and being accepted by Him is where it’s at.
And when we were in the world we lived our lives trying to gain the acceptance of others by being this way, for we believe if we can be this way we will indeed have the acceptance of others that we crave. And these others are the ones who’s opinion matters to us.
For instance most do not care if they don’t have the acceptance of some primitive native tribe in the middle of the Amazon jungle, but they do care what those think of them from their own culture, and consequently they understandably, conform to their standards to gain this acceptance, and should not be blamed for this natural behaviour, even though sadly it’s a captivity.
For 40 years I was captured in this net and getting out of that prison, which I didn’t see as a prison, and making my great escape, with Jesus Christ being the key to unlock my chains, was for me a most difficult breakaway.
I almost didn’t make it.
But God stepped in and gave me a hand and without God’s helping hand I’d still be trapped. And that’s another story for another time.
Therefore I know of the power of this imprisonment. I know how hard it is to break free, but through God’s grace He busted me out, however it was a very close call. I almost didn’t make it.
Initially even after being born again I was ashamed of Jesus Christ. I had a lot to learn. But this I can tell you. Don’t underestimate the powerfulness of that captivity the world is under. They know, just as I knew, that if they became an open follower of Jesus Christ, they will lose the acceptance of the world which they crave. And that is a powerful deterrent.
True believers are on the pathway of holiness and slowly as they tread this path they make exchanges. They exchange love for lust and get love. They exchange peace for jealousy and get peace. They exchange obedience for disobedience and become obedient to God. They long to please God by striving to obtain the holy life. A life without sin. A good Christian forum is Advindicate.Com

18:43 It is in actuality a cop out. The nature of hell is of supreme importance. If there is an eternal punishment in exchange for a finite existence of life I would like to know the nature of that punishment. If God condemns the innocent to eternal punishment while still claiming to be Omni benevolent that is an enormous gap in his stated nature vs his actions.
Cliff completely sidesteps the question and acts as though he gives a good answer. Cliff, what do you believe hell entails? If you believe hell won't be that bad, why should we fear it? If you believe in hellfire why would a god claiming to be good condemn people to it?
I think you sidestep the issue because you know the answer fucking sucks for your worldview. It discredits you. So you use a cop out of ignorance.
It's hypocrisy to snidely call these college students intellectually dishonest and then act intellectually dishonest about the nature of hell.
Even an eternity of relative unpleasantness would be maddening to a human psyche. NO crime or sin a human can commit comes close to being deserving of an eternity of even relatively benign unpleasantness.
I think Hell is Tough Love. It's not absolute. The absence of GOD in our gift of life is Hell no matter what your faith is. Free will is GOD giving us the power to choose unlike the Angles that have(No free will) has a very bad job to protect MAN from a powerful entity so-called Satan, Lucifer, Devil etc.
Followers of Christ was from Genesis through Revelation not from Matthew through Revelation. Or in other words, the writers of the Old Testament and all the Prophets of the Old Testament all were Christian before He came, and those that believed in Judaism can be seen from Moses’ time until it fully started when Judaism plotted and killed Jesus Christ.
This intro is so 90's, I love it.
Man has been given the right of choice by God from the beginning, God never created robots. After sin God put a filter in place ,he that have ears let him hear. Jesus said that he is the only way turn from your sins and do not continue in that way. For some this sounds too simple to be true, at the end of the day you will make a choice and there are consequences to that.
Have you ever lied, stolen, used God's name in vain, looked wuth lust? if so you need to repent today and Believe in Jesus Christ to save you from Hell and go to heaven instead
i've watched so many cliffe vids n i've never seen this intro before lol, must be super old
30:00 for someone who claims he doesn't know a lot about a lot of things, he seems very sure that absolutes do not exist.
It’s not by chance or accident that people become believers in Jesus Christ. It happens because God helps it to happen. God knows all things. And He knows who will and who won’t be a follower of Jesus. And He helps those ones to repent whom He knows will repent. He arranges their life in such a way that repentance becomes possible. But without this arrangement they wouldn’t be able to repent, because the powers of Satan would overpower them.

“The powers of Satan have them”

Probably one of his best questions (and the same question that has confounded mankind for centuries) is "What am I living for?" and "Why is/are that thing(s) worthy of devoting my life to it/them?"

That's where a lot of these folks who use the uncertainty of life as an argument fail. No one lives a virtuous life with uncertainty as their guiding principle. Everyone has a moral code they believe in, even if that code would be abhorrent to most other people. Then it becomes your job to explain why your code is right and others are wrong, because eventually they will come into conflict. And no one just shrugs and says, "Eh, whatever" when someone walks off with their wallet, phone, and laptop.
Why does anyone have this obligation you claim exists to justify their morality to others ?
We are all living for someone or something, as evidenced by our actions.

What is absolutely critical to understand as a prerequisite to understanding God’s justice is the fact that Adam and Eve are responsible for thrusting humanity into sinful corruption- and THIS is why people are born with sinful natures to sinful parents who may or may not have been Christians. The fact that anyone is damned to hell is the result of the fall into sin by our federal head, Adam. It’s hot NOTHing to do with our (non-existent) libertarian free will!!!
you are almost correct in your teaching, we are not dammed to hell because of this fallen nature. God has not cursed us from birth to be thrown into hell so he can send a savior to a cross and make him beg and torture the living crap out of him for a innocent state of mind and a curse from Adam and eve. The biggest lie the devil has out there is we are cursed to be sinners, when God said if you eat of that tree you will DIE, not be sinners and die.

Why ?
You’re wrong Cliff. Genesis does tell how god created the earth. Its states the order and the time frame of his creation.
It doesn’t say if there was a gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 or what was before but does dictate what came after 1:1
Starting at 24:04, watch this poor girl beside him… her body language suggests that she is so uncomfortable. Going on, she starts to distance herself, then starts occupying herself with comforting tasks. Finally, near the end of his monologue about being or not being hypocritical, standing further away, she almost looks at Cliffe like, “Please forgive me, I’m not with him…” I may be completely wrong - she may just be shy, but I thought it was interesting. 😏
I thought that was just me seeing that🥲
When you go to school or start a job, do the students all get together and decide what the curriculum is or what the rules of conduct are? Do the employees decide what the company objective is or what employee violations can get them fired?
Exactly.
People find it hard to believe that god gave us a set of rules to live by.

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".

The effects of God’s infinite greatness, which pales us utterly into insignificance, has little or no affect upon the believers, BECAUSE we have joined forces with our heavenly creator. Our small force with His large force.
The process of synergising and amalgamating with God has begun. And we have become like the great Abraham who was a friend of God.
When I was a boy with my dog in tow, he was always my best friend. He didn’t have my level of intelligence. He could never understand how cars and refrigerators worked. But that didn’t bother me, because he has something far greater. It was his undying loyalty.
That dog loved me and I loved him. Maybe we won’t completely understand how God does what He does, as we go through eternity, with the likes of Abraham and all the saints.
But I know this.
Because of our fierce loyalty to God we will be the best of friends. His best friend. And what a comfort and a joy it is to know this.

Hi Paul
Just trying to finish our previous conversation. I think something must have gone wrong because I didn’t get a reply to my question
I don't believe in any Gods
Not believing in any Gods is "self deceit"
according to you
Now, that's interesting because I would like
to know the logical inference's you use to
establish my "self deceit"
Can you articulate it to us atheists Paul?
@@jasonnoble7302 This is my last shot with you Jason. Maybe another time and another place. But today I’m going to be a one shot wonder. Ok. Here it is. Your question is for me to explain your self deceit. Ok you don’t believe in God. But nevertheless God still exists. But for you, you truly don’t believe in God. I’m sure you would agree that the mind is an amazing thing. A man shoots another man while out hunting. But looking down the barrel he doesn’t see a man. He sees a deer with antlers. But actually it’s a man. He pulls the trigger and blows the guy away. Then to his amazement he goes to collect his kill and finds a man instead shot through the head. He can’t understand it. How could he have made such a terrible mistake. He saw a deer. And not only did he see the deer he also saw its antlers. Ok here is the thing Jason. He so badly wanted to see a deer that he invented one in his mind. And transposed that picture onto a man out in the bush. To be more specific he deceived himself. But what brought about the deception, was his intense desire to shoot a deer. He wanted to shoot a deer so he could feel important. To him it would be a great achievement. And it would make him feel more worthwhile. Ok let’s consider you. But you should really consider yourself. You should face the fact that actually you don’t want God to exist. But your self deception is such that you won’t allow yourself to realise this or if you do, you diminish it. That’s self deception Jason. But the greatness of your desire for God to not exist, actually has you believing in His non existence. You genuinely believe God doesn’t exist because you don’t want Him to exist. You’re like a prosecutor that is only interested in evidence that will win his case. And AS you want to win your case you have to turn a blind eye to the possibility that the man might be innocent. If you were a real thinker you would ponder and consider and wonder if it’s actually possible that you don’t want God to exist. But your self deception is so strong Jason this might be an impossibility for you. That’s my shot buddy. Gotta go Pal.
@@paulwilfridhunt
That’s fascinating Paul
First problem with your knowledge declaration is :
I want God to exist. I see no reason why I would not want God to exist. It would be really cool to have a creator God. So, I want God to exist. I want my “sins” to be forgiven. Go live with God and all the angels in heaven sounds like a good time.
Secondly, your presupposing the existence of a God. In your declaration you claim God truly exists. However it doesn’t seem to be the case that you know that. It’s not the case that I am deceiving myself when it comes to Gods existence, according to you I do know God exists.
Third, By your lights I can say the same thing to you. Because you presuppose God I can presuppose not God. See how that works? Now it can be said that you want God to exist so badly that by your own lights you are deceiving yourself. Your criteria not mine 🤷♂️
Fourthly, you can just deny my claim I do want a God to exist. But by doing so you admit to being skeptical about what people tell you. That undermines the bible you believe is the word of God.
Anyhoo

Amazing how Chrstns think mankind is so thick that morals didn't already exist thousands of years before Yahweh showed up.
I couldn't do what this pastor does because I just don't have the patience to witness like this but all I know is that I choose to live my life and follow the living God. There is nothing and nobody that can tell me different but I'll just say this and that is that it doesn't matter what our opinions are about the Bible. Because the Bible is what we are going to be judged upon but it also doesn't matter what good works that you have done because good works doesn't get you into Heaven. What gets you into Heaven is being saved and having faith and trust in Jesus Christ and doing the things that he asks us to do. So put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ and live for him and study his word everyday. Jesus does talk about Hell and in fact he talks about Hell more than he talks Heaven and he describes it as gnashing of teeth and an everlasting fire that never gets put out. Now I don't know about anyone else but that doesn't sound like a place that I want to go to in fact I don't want nothing to do with Hell. So I choose to live for Christ and there is nothing that anyone can tell me any different

Why don't you find all of that for yourself? I mean God isn't forcing anyone to follow him because it is something that you choose to do and the one thing that he promises is that he will never leave you or forsake you. He is someone that you can depend on and count on that is more than I can say about friends or family. See God gives us free will and we can choose to do whatever we please but I choose to follow him and what you do is totally up to you

Thank you!
NEXT ARENA IS FRIDAY evening about 4pm est. 08/11/23, come to challange Islam or defend Christianity, uou want people to know the truth, don't you?
Believers must stop confusing people by saying Jesus is God. If Jesus is God, then he was looking up to pray to himself; he was saying “let this cup pass from me” to himself; he was saying “my Father which is in heaven” to himself. If Jesus is God, then in Hebrews 5:7, he was offering up prayers with strong crying to the only one who could save him from death, which would be himself. This cannot be. Never once did Jesus claim to be God; he is God's only “begotten” son. Begotten means “to bring into existence, give rise, or to bring about” (Colossians 1:15, 1:18). Jesus clearly states that he can do nothing apart from God's power/spirit, which lives in him and in me. When you have seen Jesus, you have seen the Father also (John 14:10). We can be as one, even as they are one (John 17:22). God’s power in us doesn’t make us God. God has always been in heaven, but His power/spirit is everywhere.
I don't think these people have thought it through. As God come down off his thrown and become Flesh. And died for the sins of mankind. So If you chose to reject Jesus Christ to Follow Buddhist teachings. Islamic, etc.. Then you rejected his Sacrifice. As only Jesus Christ died for us. This is why being "Good" has no redeeming value before God. As the Law was written for mankind. Not mankind made for the Law..
I'm sure that Bonnie is on here somewhere, going through the same mindless motions he's been going through all his life, insisting that right and wrong are real things-but that morality isn't objective. Bonnie loves affirming his own contradiction. 😥🙏
That isnt a contradiction. Objective doesnt just mean it exists, it means it exists independently of the mind. If morality is subjective, it still exists as an abstract concept which defines qualia. Similaar to taste, emotions, and sensory experience. These things all exist, but are dependent on the mind to exist. They're subjective.

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.
You've just described Chrstns.
@@jackalsgate1146 you would have to demonstrate you have perfect sight in order for that claim to worthy of meaningful consideration.
God doesn't say Nietzsche is dead. Humans do. Stop this nonsense.
I don't care is my mantra.
Atheists Know God exists 🙏
Yes…
I know God exists I’m just denying it because I’m happy in my sins
I choose sinning over God
😈👿👹👺
Atheists for freedom ❤️
In order to reject God we must be presented with God. How can I be held accountable for something I never new was real or possible?
Seems like an evil way of thinking?
Mark 4 11-12.
If this passage is true, it's makes all people who claim to be saved liars.
When reading the bible we immediately find out that god is a savage bro. The chosen people he saved from slavery would eventually go on to kill whole nations of men women and children.. does it sound evil without the context? Sure it does. But just like in a movie, sometimes we do the wrong things for the right reasons. And that's what god does. Don't let social media fool you into thinking god is a big teddy bear and he's a softy. He's a bad ass. He's fair. Just as you would be if you were a father.
You can say you don't believe him because you can't see him. But he HAS been presented to you. Remember that the sun moon and stars are the host of heaven. They are not in "space" they are right above our earth placed there for us to see his creation DAILY. The earth does not spin. It is stationary. You and I were deceived before. Let's not be any longer my friend. 🙂
Now this is my take on the gentleman that was speaking about uncertainty to have uncertainty is normal, but to have uncertainty means you should rely on faith or belief in a certain system, so that you can look forward to something in the afterlife, even if it doesn’t come true And you die into total darkness and that’s it. At least you lived your life having faith and belief that you are protected by a higher power of some sort, and it brings you joy and comfort to your heart and mind. Now to have faith in something means that you believe That you will end up somewhere of a paradise after you die, whether or not you go there it doesn’t matter because of the fact that you live your life with joy and comfort of having some type of faith, instead of being uncertain about something and not knowing, which is more fearful than anything And it makes you doubt. Another thing to point out is that your uncertainty can have you fail or succeed in your every day life but if you have faith, whether you fail or succeed, you know that you tried your hardest, even though it was uncertain, I’d rather have faith that I’m able to accomplish something because the higher power gave me, the strength, intelligence and knowledge of what I needed to accomplish to the best of my abilities, and after it is all done whether I fail or don’t, I feel good about myself because I know that I had faith to do as best as I could, and that the higher power was guiding me and that’s how it is supposed to be. Free your mind of uncertainty and have belief in a power higher than your own and I can promise you that you will feel so much more better about your life and the decisions you make day to day!! TBH I believe in my Lord Jesus Christ!! To me, from the knowledge I acquired through the Gospels of Jesus Christ and the Old Testament I feel as though we have a Creator! If you truly sit and really think very hard about it how do humans build computers from hardware and turn it into digital software??!! And every single piece of knowledge from all human existence is put into the computer to “CREATE” a digital world/system!! If you can contemplate the way we as humans create our own world through electronics/computers, than what makes every one think that there is no GOD!! If we play GOD almost everyday with our own creation of a digital world!!??? Remember we are made in the image of GOD so whatever we learn and know was given to us through a higher form of life!! And if you truly think about we are literally stuck in this reality (earth) and cannot leave this system AT ALL!!! Cause think about just say if you put your self in GODs shoes would you create a world for living beings to be able to leave that world and explore other worlds in a enormous universe that we are all taught from a very young age??? Really sit down and think 🤔 about this!!??? 🤔🤔 …… Or would you create a world that has an enclosed system that nothing can escape once entered!! So that you can keep a very close eye on every single living being that is created!!!??? Think about that for a minute!! To me that would be the most logical way to create a system of living beings if say you were GOD!! If this makes sense to people please 🙏🏼 hit the like button!! But if this doesn’t make sense to you please write your thoughts in the reply comment section below!! Thanks for taking the time to read my long opinion on the way the world works and thank you 🙏🏼 for sharing your opinion as well!! MAY GOD BLESS ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH!! AMEN!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Italian food over Polish food?!🤭
Sounds like a Sega synth chip
*Why do you think you can't see any of the thousands of blasphemous and obvious supernatural changes in scripture that have been documented in the last 10 years?*
I pray the rapture is soon. Jesus save me. I will never stop praying. Lord please change my life for the better. Thank you Jesus for never leaving my side, because everyone else has! Jesus! I PRAISE you! Even as I’m struggling providing for my children. I feel like a failure but I will keep faith because faith is all I have left! Since covid I can’t seem to get back on my feet. I lost my job for declining the vaccine. I declined due to my health conditions. I suffer from lupus, and heart disease. I’m now waitressing and so thankful to be working but I’m not making nearly enough to get by. I have two beautiful boys both are autistic. I’m overwhelmed because they require so much from me. Every month is a struggle to not end up on the streets with my boys. I’m struggling buying groceries I’m so discouraged. Jesus hear my cries I’m so tired. But I have faith! Jesus hear my prayers. ❤
Words to be said today Amen.
