@@darkeen42 That is very true the heart can lie. By heart I meant the inner man and his carnal desires which are part of his nature. What I wanted to point is that unbelievers do not come to Christ for lack of evidence, they are suppressing the truth in unrighteousness (Romans 1) and love darkness rather than light (John 3). I agree the heart can lie because it is deceitful above all things, that is why we always have to confront it with the light / truth of God`s Word.

Yet your loving God doesn't heal the thousands of kiddies every year dying from cancer, but chooses to heal you instead. Perhaps you could explain this for us???
@koonta6079 God takes those kids who die of cancer to come live with him in eternal bliss. That is the ultimate healing so healing is actually NOT withheld from them. Besides, what happened to death being no big deal? Isn't 2176 supposed to be like 1876, a pleasant non-existence? Doesn't that apply to kids too? Now suddenly pretend to cry about kids dying because it's convenient to use to take a shot at a guy giving his healing testimony? Some people God heals in this world. Some in the next. And some get their demand to live in eternal sickness granted. Which will you choose?

I'm living to contribute to the wellbeing of myself and others while doing my best to minimize suffering. There is zero evidence that my life will continue after I die so I believe it's important to get the most out of the one life I know I have rather than spending 60 to 80 years following the edicts of one morally questionable celestial dictator among countless others, each as implausible as the next. I don't think it is wise to spend time believing in things which by definition are unfalsifiable and I don't think it's honest to claim to know what you do not nor is it possible to know what you cannot.

"Why can't he just come down?" 1) Freewill will end, immediately and no-one will function as intended. 2) The mind was designed to lead itself to question and examine reality and through this it will lead you to a understanding.
Why would freewill end? The Angels had it in Heaven before the Fall, we have it now, and when Jesus roamed the Earth they did as well as have it when Christ brings us home or when we are on the New Earth.

@@bonnie43uk Hi Jacob, I just wanted to share real quick. I’m a Christian and I totally get what you’re saying. Of course if Jesus was to descend from heaven I would be THRILLED because He’s my Savior. He sacrificed His life for me to live even when I didn’t deserve it. However, as a believer, I can stand on faith alone that Christ is real and that He resurrected. That He did heal blind men and made deaf men hear and dumb mean to speak. God is still doing miracles today! And as an atheist I understand that you would expect or want to see Him perform miracles in front of you in order to believe but here’s a scripture: “For we walk by faith and not by sight” 2 Corinthians 5:7. He’s done miracles before and it doesn’t mean they’re not still happening because it’s not in your face. But if you want some proof that He is real just look at how the solar system is still in order, the waters has not flooded the Earth, that we are still alive, our body’s functioning. You said you would love to have a real life encountering with Jesus. Jacob, I plead to you to call on the name of Jesus. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:13). Ask Jesus Christ to come into your life and reveal Himself unto you so that He may help your unbelief. I promise you if you give Christ a chance He will indeed change your life forever. The Bible says “ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believed in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and if you believe in Christ, you are a new creation, the old you has passed away ( 2 Corinthians 5:17). I hope this helps in anyway possible, I’ll be praying for you!

@@T1999-c6u “Hearsay from old men who thought the Earth was flat” (Militant Atheism/relativism, materialism, philosophical naturalism): “The belief that there was nothing, and nothing didn’t really mean nothing as there was no such thing as meaning, and then nothing much happened to nothing except nothing and then nothing suddenly magically exploded for no reason, creating everything, and then a bunch of everything suddenly magically rearranged itself -- for no reason whatsoever -- into self replicating bits which then turned into something that meant everything. But it didn’t really mean everything or anything as everything is meaningless.” (Atheism) Yeah perfectly “sane” and makes perfect sense!! About as much sense as your “flat earth” argument!! And they mock other people’s beliefs!! The fact is that reality and existence and in particular the qualities of experience aren’t made of “matter” they are made of (what matters). “Flat Earth” Ho the irony!! The earliest documented accounts of the idea of a spherical Earth goes as far back as the ancient Greeks. Approximately (5th century BC). This is hilarious because the belief was widespread in the Greek world. The myth of the flat Earth, or the flat earth error, is exactly that a modern myth. And the irony is that it is an historical misconception promoted by militant atheist propagandists that are notorious for history revisionism. You couldn’t write this!! The myth of the flat Earth, or the flat earth error, is a modern historical misconception that European scholars and educated people during the Middle Ages all believed the Earth to be flat. Sorry but this is a myth and the conflict between science and faith is also a myth and a false dichotomy perpetuated by militant atheist propaganda all over the internet hence your unscientific reference and (Appeal to Ridicule Fallacy).

“Lived in a shoe” Ho the irony!! Q: How many theists does it take to change a light bulb? Answer Two. One to actually change the bulb, and the other to videotape the job so militant atheists won't claim that a accidental, random, blind, mindless, magical “nothing” did it. ♥️😎
First option: In the beginning there was nothing. The only problem with that option is that the only thing you get from nothing is…….? Yes exactly right!! A strictly reductive materialism, atheism or philosophical naturalism basically says that nobody took no time to turn nothing into everything a belief that at worst is synonymous with the belief in magic and at best it’s synonymous with the belief in myths and miracles!! I don’t need secular myths and secular religion to know what right and wrong is!! Second option: In the beginning there was just meaningless accidental “matter”. Matter is eternal and everything is nothing more than the by product of an accidental, blind, mindless, pitiless, merciless meaningless random process of atoms and brain chemicals creating the illusion of stable patterns and regularities. However, if this is the “true” the probability of accessing real “truth” about the fundamental nature of reality and existence is very low. Furthermore, according to the expert linguist and brilliant cognitive scientist Noam Chomsky… “There are only two ways of looking at eliminative materialism (the idea that all things reduce to solid substance). One is that it is total gibberish until someone tells us what matter is. Until someone tells us what eliminative materialism is there can’t be such a thing as eliminative materialism and no one can tell us what matter is”. (Noam Chomsky). Equally, the science clearly demonstrates that “matter” is not eternal as the “Big Bang” clearly demonstrates that there was a beginning to even time and space including “matter”. Third option: Mind and consciousness is eternal and collapses matter into existence at the quantum probability wave. An absolute mind and consciousness is the uncaused cause!! Furthermore, evidence from quantum mechanics, particularly quantum superposition clearly demonstrates that at the fundamental level of “physical” reality “atoms” and “matter” , for want of a better word, exists that is unmeasurable, invisible, non locational, bi locational and timeless and is effected by consciousness and collapses at the wave function during the observer effect in the double slit light experiment suggesting that consciousness is fundamental to reality in some paradoxical way. If you posit an absolute mind/consciousness that is non contingent and is collapsing all of reality into existence then you could be a (deist). That is you could come to the rational conclusion that an absolute mind/consciousness necessarily exists. However, deists don’t believe that humans can have a personal relationship with the absolute as the absolute object of reality and existence is inexplicable and intangible. Fourth option: Just like the deist you believe that mind and consciousness is eternal, non contingent and all powerful. An absolute mind and consciousness is the uncaused cause! Equally, like the deist you believe that this absolute ontological ground of reality, existence, mind and consciousness is intangible and inexplicable. However, the difference is that you believe that the absolute ontological ground of reality, existence, consciousness, absolute truth, absolute value and ultimately absolute love paradoxically has the power to take the form of finite matter. The fact is that 2.4 billion people believe that this happened already in the form of the birth, life and horrific death of Jesus Christ. According to the brilliant author and Oxford professor JRR Tolkien…. “The Birth of Christ is the eucatastrophe of Man’s history. The Resurrection is the eucatastrophe of the story of the Incarnation. This story begins and ends in joy. It has pre-eminently the ‘inner consistency of reality’. There is no tale ever told that men would rather find was true, and none which so many sceptical men have accepted as true on its own merits. For the Art of it has the supremely convincing tone of Primary Art, that is, of Creation. To reject it leads either to sadness or to wrath.” (JRR Tolkien) So your left with no other option but to provide a logical and rational argument as to which of the four options is the most plausible option or provide a fifth more plausible option. I rest my case!! No offence intended all the best to you and your family and keep safe ❤️
this was from a couple years ago, so he's older now. for the most part people don't want to change. once they get a certain age they become that person and it's a one way course. hopefully someone looking for God actually opens their heart than their eyes. obviously people who might believe God without a doubt can still deny Him. right? the devil knows God, the devil can't deny God exists, yet hates him. even if God showed himself to everyone, it doesn't guarantee that they love him. and even so what kind of God forces us to bow our knee and love him with the threat of hell? that's not a loving God. but He allows us to come to Him on our own terms. why would an arrogant person change if they're happy being who they are without knowing God?

No. Not so. The 1000 years is after the resurrection and we are in heaven reigning with Christ celebrating with Christ going over the books with Christ to understand all the Christ wanted us to know about judgment and love and so forth and then after the thousand years we would go down to earth when she will cleanse and make new and we'll be able to from there on out both enjoy heaven and then you were and so forth.

I’m thinking about that question now and my only answer to the question is if as a believer you know God knows your true intentions it would make sense to acknowledge that said person doesn’t actually want to believe in God perhaps due to past situations. Consciously they’re trying to convince themselves that God is real but subconsciously they deny anything that they see headed towards that direction. But then again, I believe even the effort of WANTING to believe in God is enough for God to see a genuine desire to accept him and that will be good enough.

@@CruddyReaperz97 no that makes a lot of sense!

At 11:15 the skeptic guy says "The story of Jesus rising from the dead is like the game of telephone". However they can't use that objection because Paul in his historical writings mentions the 500 eyewitnesses, Paul says that “most of [them] remain until now, but some have fallen asleep.” As C. H. Dodd comments, “There can hardly be any purpose in mentioning the fact that most of the 500 are still alive, unless Paul is saying, in effect, ‘the witnesses are there to be questioned.’” Therefore the game of telephone objection fails flat on it's face. You could question the so called "First person on the game of telephone" in the group of 500 who saw Jesus alive.

The dude keeps wanting Jesus to show himself now when in reality that’s the last thing anyone who isn’t right with God should want! If Jesus came back right now it’s not peace and love, it’s judgment and wrath. When Jesus comes back and “shows himself” it’s to late to pretend you’d have believed “if you had only known.”
_"The crazy thing is though, is that he_ 1) _already has come and_ 2) _He's coming back"_ That's your ASSERTION, now demonstrate it . The crazy thing in reality would be to believe in somthing without sufficient evidence ie a God.
@@trumpbellend6717 it doesn’t matter if this is an assertion or not, the point needing to be made is that he wants concrete proof but when you finally get the proof it WILL BE TOO LATE. There is however very clear evidence that points to who Jesus said he was and that he was very much alive and preaching the coming of God and getting your life together. There isn’t anything in the world that could prove to anyone that God exists but there is substantial evidence that points to him being the one TRUE living God. The issue is he wants God to prove himself when the reality is that’s the last thing God needs to do and it’s not for God’s sake but ours. Jesus talks about a parable about Lazarus and the rich man at which some point Abraham tells the rich man if your brothers wouldn’t believe a man was raised from the dead what difference would it make if Lazarus came down and told them. This isn’t just about evidence or proof it’s about FAITH.

No, evidence can lead to prove but is not proof. Even though God is true, proof by athiests expectations is a higher standard than for anything else. Also, even proof can be of a less value than a faith in Christ.
Proof is a fact Facts are demonstrable to others Evidence is something that can lead one to believe something corresponds with reality Christianity is lacking in proof and thus facts and thus has no reason to be believed This is why Christian apologetics teaches defenders of their religion to avoid discussions about facts and focus on their opponent's beliefs instead If they can get the other person to admit they can not truly know anything then they can justify asserting Christianity as a rational belief

Cliffe often evades the question "what happens to people who live a good and honest life, but doesn't believe in God?' with giving reasons to latch onto the belief, but that doesn't really get to the crux of the question presented. I think Christians need to start answering this question, instead of flipping the question. What happens to those who live graceful lives but can't ever fully commit to Gods existence for one reason or another? Ultimately, we do not know. Only God knows. What we as Christians do know, is that God is all loving, holy, just, merciful, and graceful. We also know that we were created in his image and likeness. Now, God cares about 3 things above all else; faith, hope, and love. Of these 3 things, God ultimately cares about love above all else. I as a Christian, have immense faith in God, but struggle with faith in people. I as a Christian, easily have hope. I hope I get to go to heave, I hope I get to wake up tomorrow. I hope all my friends and family get to go to heaven. I hope that one day, peace will come. I think we all have great hope to some degree. Now as a Christian, I struggle with love the absolute most. I find it hard to love people who wrong me or others. I find it hard to be selfless and giving because naturally I am selfish. Love is by far the most difficult to achieve. Now, because we're made in Gods image and likeness, we are given sympathy, compassion, understanding, reasoning, and grace, just like God has all these characteristics. Lets pretend for a moment that I am the all knowing and all powerful God. Come judgment day, if standing before me is someone who spent most of their life doing graceful things and loved so many people, even once that they probably shouldn't have had a reason to love. Grew as a person and only became more graceful in age, but they lacked a faith in me and just couldn't ever wrap there head around believing in something they could not see. They did so many meaningful and wonderful dead's and truly loved with all their heart. If come judgment day, standing before me, and now finally getting to see me, if that loving person humbled themselves before me, I would absolutely forgive them and let them into my eternal kingdom so that they can now get to finally know and put faith in me. If I have the ability to love another person and show them that level of grace, its my belief that God (who is significantly more loving than any person in human history) would absolutely forgive those people and let him into his kingdom. Any Christian that walks around damning non-believers to Hell, is living on a high horse, and being a hypocrite, and those are 2 very dangerous combinations, especially for a Christian who is held to higher standards and should know better. Leave all judgment up to God, and preach his words with kindness and love in your heart. The dangerous thing about this explanation is someone who thinks their better than the rest and will ultimately go "oh cool, if heaven is real I'll definitely be there because I'm a good person, so I'm just not going to give God any consideration or thought. That's why the most important thing above all else is that God knows what's truly in your heart, and you cannot hide it from the all mighty God. Any non believers that end up in heaven will be ones that truly show love and mercy, and are not at all on a high horse of pride. Do to others, as you want done to you. God will judge you, based on how you judge others, and any mercy shown is at the free will of his grace, which comes from a place of being the all knowing God. I think this is the best way to answer that extremely hard question. God bless you all!
When people doubt the credibility (the hearsay argument) of the gospels they seem to forget that the closest disciples followed Jesus for three years, he was their rabbi, a guru you could say. They witness him raise people from the dead, walk on water, cast out demons heal the blind and lame...And preached the most amazing things. Would you not start taking notes? Or as they did in their time remembered by repeating and memorise everything this amazing MAN(?) did? If he is who he claims to be, he is the most amazing human being who ever have lived, would you not remember and write down what he said and did do????? And then later people wanted to collect all that into writings so that everyone could hear this amazing thing. And the supposed contradictions is actually making it even more reliable, it´s like when different newspapers reports from the same accident. There are some different views how things happend but if you put it together you will still see that it is the same story from different witnesses or different views.
"They witness him raise people from the dead, walk on water, cast out demons heal the blind and lame.. Bullshit. These preposterous stories were all made up 200-years after this guy was supposed to have lived. Later people put together all these preposterous stories as a sales pitch for their fake religion. The Bible is just a collection of myths and fabrications made up by ignorant superstitious men in the bronze age.
@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp and you are totally making things up when you say the stories about Jesus was made up 200 years after. There are consensus among historians (believer or not) that Jesus lived. Was a real person. And the manuscripts are from the first centuary. In FACT the Gospels are the antique writings that has the most profound credability of all antique writings. Still you trust that ceaser lived, Alexander the great, Plato, Sokrates, but there are only few manuscripts about them written much later. But the Gospels has over 5000!!!!
@@dengholm Sure Jesus lived. But all the preposterous stories about him in the Bible are bullshit. Actually made up by unknown authors closer to 300-years after Jesus died.

Not one other book exists that was written at the time verifying all this rubbish. Get your nose out of that ridiculous old book dengholm. It belongs in the fiction section of the library.
When Jesus was dying on the cross, the people were saying, if your the son of God, come down from that cross. He didn't. Instead he died, and it was for a greater purpose that they didn't understand.
You know, I get a bit triggered by those who say “If you’re really there... show me!” Like they expect the creator of.. I don’t know.. “everything” needs to drop what He’s doing to prove himself to some bacteria! But, what really bakes my noodle is... When He invariably DOES!

If a girl tells me she loves me and her pattern of behavior constantly comports with that claim, I'll believe her. But if an anonymous person who has never met this girl claims that she loves me on the bases that she created the moon as a token of her love for me it would be absolutely to believe it. So then I might ask. "okay okay, but if she really loves me, why doesn't she just come tell me?" and your response is "isn't this random, implausible claim enough? You're rejecting her love!

Hmmm thou shall not judge Luke 6:37- Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven Matthew 7:1-2 “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. James 4:11 Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. Matthew 18:15-17 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. There are so many scriptures that talks about judging others ,I hope this helps
Many people expect God to operate the way that they want rather than taking the time to read the Bible to see how He really operates. So basically, people just want everything done in their own way instead of God's way.
Will they believe? "Wow! What a cool trick that Jesus dude did, almost as good as Dynamo!" What has He done lately? He sent Cliffe to you!! Jesus sent His disciples. He didn't do it all Himself back then, either.
Right, miracles happen all the time.. they said it’s luck or chance accuse us of lying anything but God. Jesus did miracles right in front of people and the denied him and said it was witch craft... people with harden hearts will never believe regardless of what ever miracle God performs. God does work in people’s life who believe and trust in him.
@@bonnie43uk I see you all the time on Cliffe’s videos... I don’t think it’s coincidence. You’re angry at God even though you think he isn’t there? So why spend a majority of time on TH-cam talking down to believers? What sense is that? What good can you do for us? We found freedom in Christ and we pray that you do the same because we love you. Do you love us? It is written: God is love. God is calling to you constantly right now, why else would you be here? I don’t think that you can even give me a real answer to what I’ve asked you.
KJV John 19:34-37 34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. 35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. 36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. 37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
They understood oxygen as well. They knew they were breathing something. People think the ancients were stupid just because they didn't have the same technology as us.
@@blusheep2 people also think that they would have been able to figure out the miracles that God did at that time too. Lol, God isn't going to operate within anyone's comprehensive level, and then say, "there you go, miracle right there buddy!!" What do they think God thinks about them? Gullible? And so many people think all you need is blind faith, God doesn't even want his children to have blind faith. As God is kind of taking me through a trail to strengthen my faith in whatever areas where blind faith and not true faith. So, God wants us to find him through the evidence he has already laid in our eyes. Me existing for example is evidence. Creation is evidence and the deeper we go, the more evidence we find.
At 0:43 the gentleman in the black t-shirt made an excellent point by asking a very valid and reasonable question: _"Wouldn't it be a lot easier if he (The Lord Jesus) came and actually said what he was or isn't instead of having middle men come to college campuses and tell us things. Why can't we get the source? Why can't he just come down?"_ This is why I can't evangelize. One day I wondered _"what if someone asked me to prove that Jesus Christ actually exists. How can I prove Jesus Christ rose from the dead and called me to preach on his behalf?"_ I can't prove that! If I'm called to preach on God's behalf, I should be able to prove it. Hebrews 2:3-4 KJV _"How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; _*_God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles...."_* As far as I'm concerned, according to the Bible and rational thought, *THERE IS NO EXCUSE* for this preacher to not be able to prove what he claims!! Instead, that question blindsided the daylights out of him. Observe his face from the 1:00 mark to 1:08. Notice, he never provided proof. He threw up a few red herrings and straw men, then accused the gentleman who asked the question of being insincere (which is a form of gaslighting). Then at 5:57 he finally admitted _"Sir, I can prove almost nothing..."_
Cliffe makes excellent points but sometimes tends to make us go “wait a minute” but just because he’s imperfect at what he does not mean that God isn’t any less of who he says he is. There’s a reason why faith is important, because God knew people would question this and go against him this way. From a logical sense, why would God need to come down today and prove himself like he did at Mount Sinai or dying on the cross? He already has demonstrated his power. We live in this generation where it HAS TO BE RECORDED by camera or its a bunch of rubbish. Yet, videos can be altered correct? The word of God cannot be altered In a sense, only attacked. I suggest these college students question themselves as to why they even believe in a Genghis Kahn or a Joan of Arc. After all they could be stories. Paul says that if Christ DIDNT rise from the dead, the entire gospel is rubbish junk basically. Paul died for no reason? I find that hard to believe. I have faith Christ died for me because he changed my life after I asked him to come into my life.
@@laurasimmons918 In John chapter 20 Thomas, one of the Lord's disciples became an atheist after the crucifixion. Thomas's close friends told him: _"we have seen the Lord, He has risen!"_ However, Thomas replied: _"I can't just take your word. That's an extraordinary claim which requires extraordinary proof. I can't believe it until I've observed it for myself."_ A short time later the Lord appeared to Thomas to show him the wounds in his hands and sides. Then Thomas became a believer. I would like to make two points. Point 1) Why is there a special place in hell for atheists and agnostics like myself who ask reasonable questions about such extraordinary claims? The Lord didn't respond to Thomas saying _"How dare you doubt me!! You'll burn for your lack of faith!!"_ The Lord appeared to Thomas and gently reassured him. But for some reason, if a person takes up the same position as Thomas, they're _"playing a dangerous game."_ why does belief have to be predicated on fear? Point 2) I don't know if the narrative in John chapter 20 actually ever happened. Modern-day theologians, historians, and scholars agree that whatever was allegedly written by eyewitnesses of the Lord's ministry was "lost" a long time ago. The manuscripts we have today are copies of copies of copies of copies that are full of errors, discrepancies, and contradictions. The four gospels in the Bible came off of that pile which is all the more reason to ask questions.🤔
@Bulldha THE Buddha he made two, how many do we have now? No offense sir, but what does your comment even prove? What point are you even trying to make
@Bulldha THE Buddha you are thinking so outside of the box that it’s honestly pretty pathetic what you’re trying to prove here. By that logic, we should all have birth defects? Technically, you’re right... it’s called sin. We are sinful, there’s no way around that. Admit it, you aren’t perfect and if life has no reason to you, why don’t you just sleep for 18 hours a day and sit in your room without moving? Why do you drive to do what you do if there is no purpose? Nobody will remember me and you in 100 years so why bother? Think about it.
@Bulldha THE Buddha yes he’s all knowing. Hey I didn’t ask to be born either man and life is unfair but thank God for his word and what he has done. The world is chaotic and there’s no cure, our planet is dying. The truth will set you free and that’s Christ. Stop beating around the bush, dancing around the tree, and open the door to Christ. He changed my life and that’s just one of the many evidences that he’s there and loves us.
God exists because we (the creation) exists. From nothing, only nothing can come. There's a builder if there's a building. There's a painter if there is a painting. Because those things don't make themselves.

All the answers that this Preacher Man gives should be from the bible. The Student asked "Why Can't Jesus come down & show us or tell us Himself? The Preacher said "I don't know". The answer is in Luke 16:29 29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to these.’30 Then he said, ‘No, indeed, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.’”

The question: Why Jesus will not come down and tell us Himself...? God gave everything to the Angels, up front and personal and a third of them turn their back on Him. So, He gave us a separation from Him, to make our choices on our own, with a fresh new world and a beautiful garden of safety... And we could not even get started on the right foot..! He even send us help four times, and one of those time was in person... What more does these people want??? can you hear me now... Hello is anybody out there... God Bless
Jackie Pullinger said that her ministry really only started to take off when she prayed in tongues religiously for 15 mins each day. It was only then that The Lord started putting people in front of her who wanted God's mercy and salvation. Looking back, that tallies with my own experience bringing in the lost back in 2017.

And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.

This is an age old question that Jesus already provided the clear answer. The bible also prophesies future about this. The problem is not lack of evidences, but it is people's hardened heart. Here is why. Luke 16:30-31 indicates that impossible miracles won't persuade people. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to the earth ~2000 years ago. He performed miracles. He loved us. He healed us. He showed nothing but compassion to our weakness. What did we do? We crucified Him; and He died for our sin, so that anyone who believes Him can be saved (John 3:16). He resurrected after three days, and how did people respond? Matthew 28:11-15 gives us the answer. Now, let's look into the future. Our God is loving God. But He is also just God. He is patient God, but at some point, He must punish sin. The bible describes judgement on earth, called the tribulation, that will last 7 years. Genuine believers, both live and dead, will received the glorified body and taken to heaven before the tribulation (1 Corinthians 15:50-58). Many things, including supernatural events, will occur during the tribulation. At this point, no one will deny that God exists. Revelation 6:16-17 and Revelation 16:8-9 reveal that people will still not repent, but blaspheme God. After 7 years of the tribulation is 1000 years of genuine peace under rule of Jesus Christ and His saints who received the glorified body before the tribulation (Christ's Millennium Kingdom). People who accepted Jesus Christ as Savior during the tribulation and survived will start repopulate the earth (in their current mortal body). It will be a society where sins, crimes, and all bad things that you can imagine are greatly reduced. But what will happen at the end of 1000 years? There will be the one last rebellion, led by satan. Revelation 20:7-10 tells us that many, who lived in 1000 years of peaceful society, will join satan in his final conquest. After the Millennium Kingdom is the eternal state, where God destroys this corrupted earth and make the new and perfected earth. God will forever live among us! (Revelation 21 and 22). So what does this tell us? The problem is not lack of evidences (it is a really a poor excuse if you think about it). The problem is people's hardened heart and no amount of evidences will change them. People just don't want to be with God and held accountable for their actions. We, the Christians, are here on earth to be Christ's witnesses (Matthew 28:16-20). We will be happy to share the gospel with everyone. To believe or not to believe, that is business between you and God. We pray that you will make the right decision. I believe we are currently living very close to the end time. I believe Jesus is right at the door for His second coming. I will leave with you a video that provides very good evidences why. God bless you. th-cam.com/video/tRL83VxZTSI/w-d-xo.html
Never been to hell, and thanks to Jesus alone I won’t be going there, but I can make a solid guess there won’t be any arrogant requests like God “crack the ground”, no smiles, shades on your head, large cokes, or high fives there. You can call Cliffe a middle man with a presupposition that mediators are lacking, or that God is a lazy, distant, game playing being, but the truth is the truth no matter through who where or what.
God is love and true love forces nothing on anybody. To physically reveal himself would mean forcing you to believe in him and take away you're god given gift of freewill to believe or not. God wants a people who will love him without being forced to. What's stronger than a love that hasnt seen, yet still believes nontheless?
Does anyone wonder why blue from the Bible is now ignored? Blue also represents the law, commandments, grace, revelation, and the Holy Spirit. Sapphires are also found on the 'breastplate of judgment' sometimes worn by the High Priest (Exodus 28:18). This blue gem was one of several that God personally placed as ornamentation on Lucifer when he created him (Ezekiel 28:13).
Could be argued this way too. Premise 1: God cannot sin. Premise 2: Jesus is God. Conclusion: Jesus never sinned. If God exists and came down in bodily form to humanity in the form of Christ, which the historical accounts heavily point to, then we can trust that Jesus was sinless.

Yet your loving God doesn't heal the thousands of kiddies every year dying from cancer, but chooses to heal you instead. Perhaps you could explain this for us???
@koonta6079
God takes those kids who die of cancer to come live with him in eternal bliss. That is the ultimate healing so healing is actually NOT withheld from them.
Besides, what happened to death being no big deal? Isn't 2176 supposed to be like 1876, a pleasant non-existence? Doesn't that apply to kids too? Now suddenly pretend to cry about kids dying because it's convenient to use to take a shot at a guy giving his healing testimony?
Some people God heals in this world. Some in the next. And some get their demand to live in eternal sickness granted.

There is zero evidence that my life will continue after I die so I believe it's important to get the most out of the one life I know I have rather than spending 60 to 80 years following the edicts of one morally questionable celestial dictator among countless others, each as implausible as the next. I don't think it is wise to spend time believing in things which by definition are unfalsifiable and I don't think it's honest to claim to know what you do not nor is it possible to know what you cannot.
I think that on the whole the more I do to lift humanity the more I benefit from her company and solidarity.
Does that answer your question?
@@jonsjunkmailonly That’s a phenomenal answer, but not one that Christians want to hear. Your life is supposed to be penance! It’s meant to be decades of an apology over a piece of fruit so that you don’t have to suffer eternal torture! Why are you going on about beneficial and practical things! 😂

@@Sanjuro_Johnson possibly, yes. But then, so is yours. Pretending there's meaning beyond the meaning you give life doesn't make it more fulfilling or important or valuable.

If I had a birthday party. And I invited you to come... and before the party I told you " be kind to me of course because it's my birthday and I'm the reason this party is here, but I want you to be kind and caring to every other guest I invite.. "
And the party happens and you're kind to everybody... having a great time.. you're being giving and kind to all the guests of the party which you too are a guest... but you completely ignore me and never sing me happy birthday or even look at me.
..that's how I see people who may still be great people on earth but they dont believe in or love God and Jesus.
Gods the one who threw the birthday party. But we just enjoy the party without him.
"Why can't he just come down?"
1) Freewill will end, immediately and no-one will function as intended.
2) The mind was designed to lead itself to question and examine reality and through this it will lead you to a understanding.
Why would freewill end? The Angels had it in Heaven before the Fall, we have it now, and when Jesus roamed the Earth they did as well as have it when Christ brings us home or when we are on the New Earth.

@@T1999-c6u In biblical scripture, unbelievers are described as the spiritually dead or benign. It just hints they like all will be judged righteously, where they go, is not stated. However, those in position of power, those in the hierarchy of power, will face a type of punishment, if found to lead the innocent a stray.
@@T1999-c6u Have you actually read the greek? Jesus is implied in most cases. which was intentional. Just like Johns real name is Zacharia. Which explains why there appears to be contraditory accounts of his death, cause there was more than one Zacharia. Just like there are several Judas, other than Iscariot. Judas Thaddius and Judas Thomas.
It doesn’t matter if Jesus came today, 100 years ago, 100 years in the future... hardened hearts will stay the same if they choose to live in sin and deny God’s awesome gift of love and mercy. It’s common sense too, why would Jesus come down again after dying once already? Scripture tells us he will return but people ignore that and ignore the evidence in the Bible already. Sad stuff
AMEN, SPOT ON.
Justin, if Jesus came back tomorrow morning and told us exactly what he wanted from us, and performed miracles to prove he was who he said he was, would you not be in favor of that?, Surely to goodness that would be an amazing event.. and I'm saying this as a non believer, it would be the most incredible thing thats ever occurred in my life and YES, ... IT WOULD CHANGE MY LIFE, HOW COULD IT NOT.? I would love to have a real life encounter with Jesus, it would CRUSH my atheism. WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE?
@@bonnie43uk Hi Jacob, I just wanted to share real quick. I’m a Christian and I totally get what you’re saying. Of course if Jesus was to descend from heaven I would be THRILLED because He’s my Savior. He sacrificed His life for me to live even when I didn’t deserve it. However, as a believer, I can stand on faith alone that Christ is real and that He resurrected. That He did heal blind men and made deaf men hear and dumb mean to speak. God is still doing miracles today! And as an atheist I understand that you would expect or want to see Him perform miracles in front of you in order to believe but here’s a scripture: “For we walk by faith and not by sight” 2 Corinthians 5:7. He’s done miracles before and it doesn’t mean they’re not still happening because it’s not in your face. But if you want some proof that He is real just look at how the solar system is still in order, the waters has not flooded the Earth, that we are still alive, our body’s functioning. You said you would love to have a real life encountering with Jesus. Jacob, I plead to you to call on the name of Jesus. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:13). Ask Jesus Christ to come into your life and reveal Himself unto you so that He may help your unbelief. I promise you if you give Christ a chance He will indeed change your life forever. The Bible says “ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believed in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior
and if you believe in Christ, you are a new creation, the old you has passed away ( 2 Corinthians 5:17). I hope this helps in anyway possible, I’ll be praying for you!

“Hearsay from old men who thought the Earth was flat”
(Militant Atheism/relativism, materialism, philosophical naturalism):
“The belief that there was nothing, and nothing didn’t really mean nothing as there was no such thing as meaning, and then nothing much happened to nothing except nothing and then nothing suddenly magically exploded for no reason, creating everything, and then a bunch of everything suddenly magically rearranged itself -- for no reason whatsoever -- into self replicating bits which then turned into something that meant everything. But it didn’t really mean everything or anything as everything is meaningless.” (Atheism)
Yeah perfectly “sane” and makes perfect sense!! About as much sense as your “flat earth” argument!!
And they mock other people’s beliefs!!
The fact is that reality and existence and in particular the qualities of experience aren’t made of “matter” they are made of (what matters).
“Flat Earth”
Ho the irony!! The earliest documented accounts of the idea of a spherical Earth goes as far back as the ancient Greeks. Approximately (5th century BC). This is hilarious because the belief was widespread in the Greek world.
The myth of the flat Earth, or the flat earth error, is exactly that a modern myth. And the irony is that it is an historical misconception promoted by militant atheist propagandists that are notorious for history revisionism. You couldn’t write this!! The myth of the flat Earth, or the flat earth error, is a modern historical misconception that European scholars and educated people during the Middle Ages all believed the Earth to be flat. Sorry but this is a myth and the conflict between science and faith is also a myth and a false dichotomy perpetuated by militant atheist propaganda all over the internet hence your unscientific reference and (Appeal to Ridicule Fallacy).

Evidence please not logical fallacies and (Appeal to Ridicule Fallacies)!! I’ll wait!!

“Lived in a shoe”
Ho the irony!!
Q: How many theists does it take to change a light bulb? Answer Two. One to actually change the bulb, and the other to videotape the job so militant atheists won't claim that a accidental, random, blind, mindless, magical “nothing” did it.
♥️😎
First option: In the beginning there was nothing. The only problem with that option is that the only thing you get from nothing is…….? Yes exactly right!! A strictly reductive materialism, atheism or philosophical naturalism basically says that nobody took no time to turn nothing into everything a belief that at worst is synonymous with the belief in magic and at best it’s synonymous with the belief in myths and miracles!! I don’t need secular myths and secular religion to know what right and wrong is!!
Second option: In the beginning there was just meaningless accidental “matter”. Matter is eternal and everything is nothing more than the by product of an accidental, blind, mindless, pitiless, merciless meaningless random process of atoms and brain chemicals creating the illusion of stable patterns and regularities. However, if this is the “true” the probability of accessing real “truth” about the fundamental nature of reality and existence is very low.
Furthermore, according to the expert linguist and brilliant cognitive scientist Noam Chomsky…
“There are only two ways of looking at eliminative materialism (the idea that all things reduce to solid substance). One is that it is total gibberish until someone tells us what matter is. Until someone tells us what eliminative materialism is there can’t be such a thing as eliminative materialism and no one can tell us what matter is”. (Noam Chomsky).
Equally, the science clearly demonstrates that “matter” is not eternal as the “Big Bang” clearly demonstrates that there was a beginning to even time and space including “matter”.
Third option: Mind and consciousness is eternal and collapses matter into existence at the quantum probability wave. An absolute mind and consciousness is the uncaused cause!!
Furthermore, evidence from quantum mechanics, particularly quantum superposition clearly demonstrates that at the fundamental level of “physical” reality “atoms” and “matter” , for want of a better word, exists that is unmeasurable, invisible, non locational, bi locational and timeless and is effected by consciousness and collapses at the wave function during the observer effect in the double slit light experiment suggesting that consciousness is fundamental to reality in some paradoxical way.
If you posit an absolute mind/consciousness that is non contingent and is collapsing all of reality into existence then you could be a (deist). That is you could come to the rational conclusion that an absolute mind/consciousness necessarily exists. However, deists don’t believe that humans can have a personal relationship with the absolute as the absolute object of reality and existence is inexplicable and intangible.
Fourth option: Just like the deist you believe that mind and consciousness is eternal, non contingent and all powerful. An absolute mind and consciousness is the uncaused cause! Equally, like the deist you believe that this absolute ontological ground of reality, existence, mind and consciousness is intangible and inexplicable. However, the difference is that you believe that the absolute ontological ground of reality, existence, consciousness, absolute truth, absolute value and ultimately absolute love paradoxically has the power to take the form of finite matter. The fact is that 2.4 billion people believe that this happened already in the form of the birth, life and horrific death of Jesus Christ.
According to the brilliant author and Oxford professor JRR Tolkien….
“The Birth of Christ is the eucatastrophe of Man’s history. The Resurrection is the eucatastrophe of the story of the Incarnation. This story begins and ends in joy. It has pre-eminently the ‘inner consistency of reality’. There is no tale ever told that men would rather find was true, and none which so many sceptical men have accepted as true on its own merits. For the Art of it has the supremely convincing tone of Primary Art, that is, of Creation. To reject it leads either to sadness or to wrath.”
(JRR Tolkien)
So your left with no other option but to provide a logical and rational argument as to which of the four options is the most plausible option or provide a fifth more plausible option.
I rest my case!!

Dang, too bad I missed you when you were in Tucson. I would have loved to hear you preach brotha
Love this kids questions too it’s clear he’s searching for answers and is asking very intelligent questions
I’m thinking about that question now and my only answer to the question is if as a believer you know God knows your true intentions it would make sense to acknowledge that said person doesn’t actually want to believe in God perhaps due to past situations. Consciously they’re trying to convince themselves that God is real but subconsciously they deny anything that they see headed towards that direction. But then again, I believe even the effort of WANTING to believe in God is enough for God to see a genuine desire to accept him and that will be good enough.

Miracles happen every minute of the day. A birth. The creation of us in 9 months. It happens so often that humans take it as normal as common as the rain or as the sun rises daily. The millions of components in each of us to come together in unity is beyond ones intellect.
Same as the Pharisees asked Jesus Christ in order for them to believe, show us miracles so we believe.
Amen and they did and still both did not believe but wanted HIM dead anyway.
At 11:15 the skeptic guy says "The story of Jesus rising from the dead is like the game of telephone". However they can't use that objection because Paul in his historical writings mentions the 500 eyewitnesses, Paul says that “most of [them] remain until now, but some have fallen asleep.” As C. H. Dodd comments, “There can hardly be any purpose in mentioning the fact that most of the 500 are still alive, unless Paul is saying, in effect, ‘the witnesses are there to be questioned.’” Therefore the game of telephone objection fails flat on it's face. You could question the so called "First person on the game of telephone" in the group of 500 who saw Jesus alive.
Right on.

I love how the very first guy wants God and Jesus to come down so badly in order to prove His existence. The crazy thing is though, is that He 1) already came and 2) He’s coming back.
The dude keeps wanting Jesus to show himself now when in reality that’s the last thing anyone who isn’t right with God should want! If Jesus came back right now it’s not peace and love, it’s judgment and wrath. When Jesus comes back and “shows himself” it’s to late to pretend you’d have believed “if you had only known.”
Excellent point!
_"The crazy thing is though, is that he_ 1) _already has come and_ 2) _He's coming back"_
That's your ASSERTION, now demonstrate it . The crazy thing in reality would be to believe in somthing without sufficient evidence ie a God.
@@trumpbellend6717 it doesn’t matter if this is an assertion or not, the point needing to be made is that he wants concrete proof but when you finally get the proof it WILL BE TOO LATE. There is however very clear evidence that points to who Jesus said he was and that he was very much alive and preaching the coming of God and getting your life together.
There isn’t anything in the world that could prove to anyone that God exists but there is substantial evidence that points to him being the one TRUE living God. The issue is he wants God to prove himself when the reality is that’s the last thing God needs to do and it’s not for God’s sake but ours. Jesus talks about a parable about Lazarus and the rich man at which some point Abraham tells the rich man if your brothers wouldn’t believe a man was raised from the dead what difference would it make if Lazarus came down and told them. This isn’t just about evidence or proof it’s about FAITH.
Love these talks... I’ve been binging them. Although I have a question: what is the difference between proof and evidence? Aren’t they one in the same?
Love this channel, God Bless!!
No, evidence can lead to prove but is not proof. Even though God is true, proof by athiests expectations is a higher standard than for anything else. Also, even proof can be of a less value than a faith in Christ.
Proof is a fact
Facts are demonstrable to others
Evidence is something that can lead one to believe something corresponds with reality
Christianity is lacking in proof and thus facts and thus has no reason to be believed
This is why Christian apologetics teaches defenders of their religion to avoid discussions about facts and focus on their opponent's beliefs instead
If they can get the other person to admit they can not truly know anything then they can justify asserting Christianity as a rational belief

18:05 girl roles her eyes at high testosterone excuse lol
Cliffe often evades the question "what happens to people who live a good and honest life, but doesn't believe in God?' with giving reasons to latch onto the belief, but that doesn't really get to the crux of the question presented. I think Christians need to start answering this question, instead of flipping the question.
What happens to those who live graceful lives but can't ever fully commit to Gods existence for one reason or another?
Ultimately, we do not know. Only God knows. What we as Christians do know, is that God is all loving, holy, just, merciful, and graceful. We also know that we were created in his image and likeness. Now, God cares about 3 things above all else; faith, hope, and love. Of these 3 things, God ultimately cares about love above all else. I as a Christian, have immense faith in God, but struggle with faith in people. I as a Christian, easily have hope. I hope I get to go to heave, I hope I get to wake up tomorrow. I hope all my friends and family get to go to heaven. I hope that one day, peace will come. I think we all have great hope to some degree. Now as a Christian, I struggle with love the absolute most. I find it hard to love people who wrong me or others. I find it hard to be selfless and giving because naturally I am selfish. Love is by far the most difficult to achieve.
Now, because we're made in Gods image and likeness, we are given sympathy, compassion, understanding, reasoning, and grace, just like God has all these characteristics. Lets pretend for a moment that I am the all knowing and all powerful God. Come judgment day, if standing before me is someone who spent most of their life doing graceful things and loved so many people, even once that they probably shouldn't have had a reason to love. Grew as a person and only became more graceful in age, but they lacked a faith in me and just couldn't ever wrap there head around believing in something they could not see. They did so many meaningful and wonderful dead's and truly loved with all their heart. If come judgment day, standing before me, and now finally getting to see me, if that loving person humbled themselves before me, I would absolutely forgive them and let them into my eternal kingdom so that they can now get to finally know and put faith in me.
If I have the ability to love another person and show them that level of grace, its my belief that God (who is significantly more loving than any person in human history) would absolutely forgive those people and let him into his kingdom. Any Christian that walks around damning non-believers to Hell, is living on a high horse, and being a hypocrite, and those are 2 very dangerous combinations, especially for a Christian who is held to higher standards and should know better. Leave all judgment up to God, and preach his words with kindness and love in your heart.
The dangerous thing about this explanation is someone who thinks their better than the rest and will ultimately go "oh cool, if heaven is real I'll definitely be there because I'm a good person, so I'm just not going to give God any consideration or thought. That's why the most important thing above all else is that God knows what's truly in your heart, and you cannot hide it from the all mighty God. Any non believers that end up in heaven will be ones that truly show love and mercy, and are not at all on a high horse of pride. Do to others, as you want done to you. God will judge you, based on how you judge others, and any mercy shown is at the free will of his grace, which comes from a place of being the all knowing God.
I think this is the best way to answer that extremely hard question. God bless you all!
That last guy needed to hear the gospel of Christ
Where two wills meet, spirit is born. Consciousness, free will; albeit the predictable kind. Soul is the story of a person viewed as a whole.
When people doubt the credibility (the hearsay argument) of the gospels they seem to forget that the closest disciples followed Jesus for three years, he was their rabbi, a guru you could say. They witness him raise people from the dead, walk on water, cast out demons heal the blind and lame...And preached the most amazing things. Would you not start taking notes? Or as they did in their time remembered by repeating and memorise everything this amazing MAN(?) did? If he is who he claims to be, he is the most amazing human being who ever have lived, would you not remember and write down what he said and did do????? And then later people wanted to collect all that into writings so that everyone could hear this amazing thing.
And the supposed contradictions is actually making it even more reliable, it´s like when different newspapers reports from the same accident. There are some different views how things happend but if you put it together you will still see that it is the same story from different witnesses or different views.
"They witness him raise people from the dead, walk on water, cast out demons heal the blind and lame..
Bullshit. These preposterous stories were all made up 200-years after this guy was supposed to have lived.

Luke 6:37-
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven
Matthew 7:1-2
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.
James 4:11
Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
Matthew 18:15-17
“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

And so many people think all you need is blind faith, God doesn't even want his children to have blind faith. As God is kind of taking me through a trail to strengthen my faith in whatever areas where blind faith and not true faith. So, God wants us to find him through the evidence he has already laid in our eyes. Me existing for example is evidence. Creation is evidence and the deeper we go, the more evidence we find.

@lary Snw definitely man, facts
At 0:43 the gentleman in the black t-shirt made an excellent point by asking a very valid and reasonable question:
_"Wouldn't it be a lot easier if he (The Lord Jesus) came and actually said what he was or isn't instead of having middle men come to college campuses and tell us things. Why can't we get the source? Why can't he just come down?"_
This is why I can't evangelize. One day I wondered _"what if someone asked me to prove that Jesus Christ actually exists. How can I prove Jesus Christ rose from the dead and called me to preach on his behalf?"_ I can't prove that! If I'm called to preach on God's behalf, I should be able to prove it.
Hebrews 2:3-4 KJV
_"How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; _*_God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles...."_*
As far as I'm concerned, according to the Bible and rational thought, *THERE IS NO EXCUSE* for this preacher to not be able to prove what he claims!! Instead, that question blindsided the daylights out of him. Observe his face from the 1:00 mark to 1:08. Notice, he never provided proof. He threw up a few red herrings and straw men, then accused the gentleman who asked the question of being insincere (which is a form of gaslighting). Then at 5:57 he finally admitted _"Sir, I can prove almost nothing..."_
Cliffe makes excellent points but sometimes tends to make us go “wait a minute” but just because he’s imperfect at what he does not mean that God isn’t any less of who he says he is. There’s a reason why faith is important, because God knew people would question this and go against him this way. From a logical sense, why would God need to come down today and prove himself like he did at Mount Sinai or dying on the cross? He already has demonstrated his power. We live in this generation where it HAS TO BE RECORDED by camera or its a bunch of rubbish. Yet, videos can be altered correct? The word of God cannot be altered In a sense, only attacked. I suggest these college students question themselves as to why they even believe in a Genghis Kahn or a Joan of Arc. After all they could be stories. Paul says that if Christ DIDNT rise from the dead, the entire gospel is rubbish junk basically. Paul died for no reason? I find that hard to believe. I have faith Christ died for me because he changed my life after I asked him to come into my life.
@@SolidPain6624

In John chapter 20 Thomas, one of the Lord's disciples became an atheist after the crucifixion. Thomas's close friends told him: _"we have seen the Lord, He has risen!"_ However, Thomas replied: _"I can't just take your word. That's an extraordinary claim which requires extraordinary proof. I can't believe it until I've observed it for myself."_ A short time later the Lord appeared to Thomas to show him the wounds in his hands and sides. Then Thomas became a believer.
I would like to make two points.
Point 1) Why is there a special place in hell for atheists and agnostics like myself who ask reasonable questions about such extraordinary claims? The Lord didn't respond to Thomas saying _"How dare you doubt me!! You'll burn for your lack of faith!!"_ The Lord appeared to Thomas and gently reassured him. But for some reason, if a person takes up the same position as Thomas, they're _"playing a dangerous game."_ why does belief have to be predicated on fear?
Point 2) I don't know if the narrative in John chapter 20 actually ever happened. Modern-day theologians, historians, and scholars agree that whatever was allegedly written by eyewitnesses of the Lord's ministry was "lost" a long time ago. The manuscripts we have today are copies of copies of copies of copies that are full of errors, discrepancies, and contradictions. The four gospels in the Bible came off of that pile which is all the more reason to ask questions.🤔

The world is chaotic and there’s no cure, our planet is dying. The truth will set you free and that’s Christ. Stop beating around the bush, dancing around the tree, and open the door to Christ. He changed my life and that’s just one of the many evidences that he’s there and loves us.
God exists because we (the creation) exists. From nothing, only nothing can come. There's a builder if there's a building. There's a painter if there is a painting. Because those things don't make themselves.

This is an age old question that Jesus already provided the clear answer. The bible also prophesies future about this.
The problem is not lack of evidences, but it is people's hardened heart. Here is why.
Luke 16:30-31 indicates that impossible miracles won't persuade people.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to the earth ~2000 years ago. He performed miracles. He loved us. He healed us. He showed nothing but compassion to our weakness. What did we do? We crucified Him; and He died for our sin, so that anyone who believes Him can be saved (John 3:16). He resurrected after three days, and how did people respond? Matthew 28:11-15 gives us the answer. Now, let's look into the future. Our God is loving God. But He is also just God. He is patient God, but at some point, He must punish sin. The bible describes judgement on earth, called the tribulation, that will last 7 years. Genuine believers, both live and dead, will received the glorified body and taken to heaven before the tribulation (1 Corinthians 15:50-58). Many things, including supernatural events, will occur during the tribulation. At this point, no one will deny that God exists. Revelation 6:16-17 and Revelation 16:8-9 reveal that people will still not repent, but blaspheme God. After 7 years of the tribulation is 1000 years of genuine peace under rule of Jesus Christ and His saints who received the glorified body before the tribulation (Christ's Millennium Kingdom). People who accepted Jesus Christ as Savior during the tribulation and survived will start repopulate the earth (in their current mortal body). It will be a society where sins, crimes, and all bad things that you can imagine are greatly reduced. But what will happen at the end of 1000 years? There will be the one last rebellion, led by satan. Revelation 20:7-10 tells us that many, who lived in 1000 years of peaceful society, will join satan in his final conquest. After the Millennium Kingdom is the eternal state, where God destroys this corrupted earth and make the new and perfected earth. God will forever live among us! (Revelation 21 and 22).
So what does this tell us? The problem is not lack of evidences (it is a really a poor excuse if you think about it). The problem is people's hardened heart and no amount of evidences will change them. People just don't want to be with God and held accountable for their actions. We, the Christians, are here on earth to be Christ's witnesses (Matthew 28:16-20). We will be happy to share the gospel with everyone. To believe or not to believe, that is business between you and God. We pray that you will make the right decision.
I believe we are currently living very close to the end time. I believe Jesus is right at the door for His second coming. I will leave with you a video that provides very good evidences why. God bless you.

All those things that kid said, He did... they still killed Him. What makes him think it would be any different now?
I like Cliffe. I trust him and that's hard to find these days.
@@leeman4356 I’m confused (doesn’t take much) now can you explain
@@leeman4356 thank you Lee 🌸
I love how Cliff upped the challenge money from $5k to $10k in less than 20 seconds! Lol. Well done my friend! 😜
Thank you!
Never been to hell, and thanks to Jesus alone I won’t be going there, but I can make a solid guess there won’t be any arrogant requests like God “crack the ground”, no smiles, shades on your head, large cokes, or high fives there.
You can call Cliffe a middle man with a presupposition that mediators are lacking, or that God is a lazy, distant, game playing being, but the truth is the truth no matter through who where or what.
God is love and true love forces nothing on anybody. To physically reveal himself would mean forcing you to believe in him and take away you're god given gift of freewill to believe or not. God wants a people who will love him without being forced to. What's stronger than a love that hasnt seen, yet still believes nontheless?
Does anyone wonder why blue from the Bible is now ignored?
Blue also represents the law, commandments, grace, revelation, and the Holy Spirit. Sapphires are also found on the 'breastplate of judgment' sometimes worn by the High Priest (Exodus 28:18). This blue gem was one of several that God personally placed as ornamentation on Lucifer when he created him (Ezekiel 28:13).
Could be argued this way too.
Premise 1: God cannot sin.
Premise 2: Jesus is God.
Conclusion: Jesus never sinned.
If God exists and came down in bodily form to humanity in the form of Christ, which the historical accounts heavily point to, then we can trust that Jesus was sinless.
