- Cliffe Knechtle has a great conversation with college students at a campus in the southwest US.
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 was an extremely effective way to reach a large number of university students with the Gospel of Christ.
The more I listen to these people, the more I understand what's meant by "no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him" because they can listen to the gospel all day and not get it.
so true
Well said..
Can you answer me this.. Why do they always keep asking the same questions?
Or is it as you have said.?
Perhaps it will take them days months years...
For me I was 33-34 when Jesus really stepped into my life and in January 2020 I was saved by Jesus.
That’s facts. We sow and water the seed, but only God can make it grow.. 1 Corinthians 3:7
I was saved this year 2023. Thank you for answering all my questions.
I love it when I can see the same people in the background, from other episodes of Cliffs videos! It shows that people are hungry to hear more - I love it
Cliff was feisty that day. Straight wrecking worldviews 😄
It's been a great journey and still today whenever I know the bond I have with others who have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ since the day I baptized and have faith in him. I lool forward to the day I meet him. Please continue to pray for me and those still lost. God bless you all!
He read a document that Jesus lived and believes it. But then he doesn’t believe he resurrected when reading the same document 😂.
Makes zero sense 😂😂
Powerful answers ..!! I love Cliff..!!
Sometimes Cliff misses the correct answers but most of his answers r totally correct. I just pointed out 1 in my response.
@@davidsantos-cb7hi to me it's okay, to miss something..that means he is a human. He went out there to universities for so many years and answered most of the questions from these young minds, to me..really amazing and show his love to God and to these students. And i and many others benefit with more undertanding of christianity and our Lord. Very best and pray for Cliff and his family..❤
Praise the Lord! God bless Cliffe
Good dialogue, awesome conversation.
Cliffe cornered that first guy so many times. He'd ask him the same questions he just answered to get the opposing view and the subject was avoided and changed. How convenient.
Ppl like him are just bad faith actors with 5th grader atheist arguments
One of the best ones yet.
Concerning the Hindu guy @14:31, the "four Vedas" doesn't even have a founder to even take them in consideration. Knowledge on the founders are important, that's how we know Scientology is fake because of the person & his continuing lifestyle indicates a higher probability of uncertainty (by their fruits we know them).
Also Karma is inconsistent with reality, because in a bank they tell you what you own, how much you own & how much you have left to pay, in Karma you know nothing on those matters
He's not comparing atheist to nazi's. He's just explaining the logic of moral relativism and how the the lawyers tried to use to justify the acts of the nazi society/government/culture at the time. And how people with their lip say they're a moral relativist when in reality they're as every single coherent individual make's objective statements and moral judgements all the time regardless of societies collective input.
Question for Hindus on reincarnation: Where did the 6 Billion extra people come from since the population was 1 Billion around 200 years ago.
Population today is about 7.4 Billion.
Creation. Reincarnation doesn't mean Just humans, everything is alive !
i love Cliffe
Min 18:27 had me rolling on the floor laughing (intangibly speaking of course)... love this guy he is very articulate. God bless his soul! 😊
Antonio Gutierrez 18:54
Morals are anything but accepted in a global society.
I love cliff
the first guy was grasping at any thought that passed his mind instead of trying to focus on one topic, every time he get debunked he would change the topic.
Sad but true.
Loved it when Mr. Knechtle was stateing his four methods of scientific research and was mentioning Elmer Fudd and his crew and the guy which the white beard lost it. 😅😂❤
Actually yes I do have an objective standard, and my objective standard comes from an ultimate authority. And that authority is universal and unchanging, meaning that its moral code is absolute, necessary and universal.
I love this man , I have used his line or reasoning when atheists scoff at my worldview, even though I am Catholic I find some of the evangelical apologists easier to understand.
God bless you Cliffe.
Catholicism does not follow Jesus.
He is Risen
I thought this first dude was the dad from Modern Family till he started talking.
Damnnn homie you are a real believer! God bless you bro
Like I said before, I haven't found any inconsistencies. If it says jesus taught for 3 years, and another gospel says he taught for a year, that's not a contradiction. If it says he only taught for one year, and another said, he only talked for 3 years, then we got a problem. So going back to the same thing... I take the gospels as being accurate and I believe Jesus is much more reliable to put my faith in than anything else
Wow...would like to visit your church.
I am just trying to learn :3 Im still growing and I like diving myself into these things so my faith can be tested and I can try to find flaws that pastors or ministers would not mention, and see if I can find a solution or not :3
The Babylonians were indeed conquered, so it actually did happen. This verse isn't calling people to dash babies against rocks but it is a sentiment being expressed in the call for divine justice. It is not an atrocity in any sense for God to punish the wicked, so to call for divine justice is not immoral. There is no Biblical slavery, genocide or mandates to torture. Slavery existed before any mandates surrounding it were formed, for example.
Having a worldview that allows for more people to be good doesn't make you good. I'm sorry, but I believe that only makes you lenient.
God bless you
I apologise for not being more direct. People who claimed to have seen Christ risen from the dead: Peter, John, Paul, Simon, Andrew, James - son of Zebedee, John - Brother of James, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James - son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot. Those are the main ones. Paul writes 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 that over 500 people saw him risen.
Internal Consistency: As I've said, I haven't really found anything contradicting..
Literally Style: I thought it was Historical Narrative, but ill do more research :3
Archaeological evidence: You've missed my point. If harry potter was born in England, yeah ok, believable, could happen, doesn't mean it is, but possible. If Harry was born in Atlantis, no way possible for it to be true, since it doesn't exist.
Manuscripts: Yeah agreed. Point isn't, the gap is close, must be true! That's stupid xD
Well, I know it may be frustrating, but stick with it. Believe it or not, you've been given a fantastic opportunity. I've always wanted to visit Turkey, myself. And whatever you do, don't let your education stop, don't let it stagnate. You need the forward momentum to stick with it, so start thinking now about what colleges you want to apply for. If you pick the right one, you will look back on those years as the best days of your life. That, and pick a degree that YOU want, not someone else.
Well, I'm glad we had this discussion.
you have a choice just like anyone else on this earth
Proverbs 28:6
Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
8:00 Historical Knowledge & Science
“We can’t resurrect Abraham Lincoln”
Science - Repeatability
History - Trustworthy evidence
Yup. Although not for much longer, fingers crossed.
How do you know you can trust your own thoughts?
👍👍👍👍
Relativism a false moral object truth. subjectivism presupposes objectivism
Oh yes! I saw that episode. You should, if you haven't already, do debates with people like Cliffe, or William Lane Craig etc.. That'll be interesting to watch :3
Thanks for an answer
+GT-Oldschool
"'everybody is god'.. completely no distinction between good and evil. that was what lucifer told eve in the garden of eden - 'that you shall be as gods', when he fooled her to disobey god."
Spot on!
wow, thanks for explaining that, makes real sense!
Ok thanks, will do. From what I've heard, since the destruction of the temple in 70A.D. is not mentioned in the gospels, then people say its thought it was written before that... But I am not too knowledgeable with all of that.
What is logical about asking where do I come from & why? Logic is precise are you precise? Which set of logical rules are effective towards happiness?
[[At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed them-men, women and children. ]]
The Canaanites were dealt with for their wickedness.
Deut 9:5"Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may perform the word which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. "
This was the war mandate for that specific war. Even if it was just a strategic command it would not be an atrocity since the Hebrew society that was working to preserve itself would have to favor it's own interests. They would be dying, not for individual merit but a judgement on a society. [[The "good book" indeed]] You are referring to a historical record given in the Bible. You can't charge the Bible for citing a historical record.
In the end it would be either "Ha ha you didn't have to follow Jesus and live a godly life." Or "Oh man! It's so hot in here." Choose how you want to live now or don't. I choose Jesus.
Morals are subjective? Live that way.
I guess 2,000 years from now we can ignore what you are saying.
any videos of cliffe that talks about hinduism and buddhism?
And I have already proved both points for you.
Jesus came to Save us, to pull us out from our inherited sin that also nailed Him on the Cross, and we all are born in that inherited state that separate us from God! We are all equally sick and guilty in that regard from birth as if we were one person in Gods eyes! When we get Baptized with God's Holy Fire we become His people, that is His Miracle in us, with that comes the gift of Faith in the process given to us by Him! So when we become his people we are new creation wich are redeemed by Jesus, we have undeservedly received the Righteousness of Jesus, therefore our murder of him will not be imputed to us, we are forgiven by His Grace! ✝
But if we choose our turning away from Him, and remain turned away, then the murder of Him will be imputed to us + all our personal sins that we have committed on the Day of Judgment!
Why did they take the microphones away?
Yeah I agree with your path thinking.. You shouldn't jump from atheist to christian because of bible.. It would be more, atheist, than to theist, than to christian, or reverse order.. Have you seen Cliffe talk about atheist worldview things? What do you think about that? It makes sense to me, with the moral relativism and the ideas of love being like, only a chemical reaction or if theres something more.. the whole order and design argument
Its just not a fair fight. These students have not thought through their worldview to its logical conclusions.
That's why he is there to teach them, it's not about cliffe winning arguments.
Well because there's no logical conclusion to thier worldview these are young adults not kids who just want to live a life they want to live no evidence living for anything other then Jesus leaves you feeling empty inside
I never said that miracles were impossible, what I was trying to say was that it is an extraordinary claim that a person performed an action that seems impossible, so it would require extraordinary evidence for me to believe it. Just like with Chris angel, if he was walking on the sidewalk, nobody would have such a hard time believing that he was performing this action, compared to when he walked on water.
8 dislikes lollll probably the people that dont listen
Luke 5:24
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
Psalm 137:9 is a good start.
Why not?
i don't know about you...but I saw moses there.
haha yeah! Well thats why I got into studying more theology.. Growing up in Christian background, I just accepted it... Living in a Muslim country, started getting me thinking and all that. Hearing the Mosques everyday, firstly annoying sound, but secondly got me sparked to do research! :3
And Mayon, never call genocide "justice" ever again.
My apologies, I was just giving an example of how the gospels work.. they're just writing down what they saw. I realise I mistakenly linked that miracle to Mark. :3
Like I said before, Adversus Apologetica already destroyed your argument months ago. I believe the post was "March to Martyrdom! (Down the Yellow Brick Road…)."
great
ok cool, ill have a look :)
I'm 90% sure he was being sarcastic
That's fine. I just think its clear Jesus existed, and that we have an accurate account of who he was and his teachings. For me, since he died and rose from the dead, that shows me he has God like powers or is God. His life of amazing ethical teachings is just a bonus. It's hard to believe someone rose from the dead, but since people were willing to die, claiming to have seen Christ risen from the dead, it gives it a lot of credibility. They didn't die for a brief but for they claimed to see
The Gospels, I think, are very honest when it comes to the disciples xD they aren't loyal at all. One of them betrayed Jesus while the rest ran away when he died. That's only, however, if you think the gospels are telling the truth ;)
From what I've seen from phycology, people don't die to cover up lies... So from what Cliffe says, the guys who claimed to have seen Christ risen, and died for what they had saw, brings more credibility
Yeah ok I can agree on that. If the gap is close, doesn't make it true. But if there is a claim thats 2000 years apart in when it happened, and the first documentation of it... With the situation being about a person or people.. I find that harder to believe that the document is accurate. So with the Gospels.. I think we have what the original people wrote. Doesn't mean their claims are true, but what they wrote hasnt been corrupted or changed
Yeah cheers! I am a very keen videographer and what to go into making films. I probably won't do any major theology courses, so I won't be able to defend what I believe, whatever it is (subject to change)... But it's interesting to look at it all.
Hey maybe we can do something together I'm finishing my degree I want to write and direct films I want to make one about Jesus
Is there anywhere I can get source material for the specific case cliffe is talking about in the Nuremberg trials? on the internet, thanks!
😍
:D
Nirvana, in Hindu philosophy, means to be at one with Brahman. He also never claimed that it was Hindu conception.
Looking deeper into the New Testament, we see that Christ appeared to over 500 people over a period of 40 days in different places and different times, also that one of the apostles, James in Acts 12:2 was killed. The other apostles we're killed, looking at just history. If you look at the New Testament, you'll find it it is historically accurate. Same with the Qu'ran, Buddah's etc.. So read them as history, and see where the evidence points you to. For me, it's Christ.
But isn't it widely accepted that Matthew, Mark and John were eyewitnesses of Jesus? I've looked at many sources that say they are. The sources could be wrong... But I hear even skeptics say they were eye wtinesses
The very description of "virgins" entails their innocence. Young males were less likely to become loyal to the Hebrews within their society than innocent young maidens who would marry into the society. The non-virgin Midianites were the guilty party for the mandated justice to begin with.
When moral nations go to war, it is not a war of genocide, Mayon. I don't know what sort of thing counts as an atrocity in your book, but that certainly counts as one in mine.
That was the fulfillment of a prophecy of which that is the very deed that the Babylonians committed and as a consequence according to the principle of retaliation, it was returned to them. Our modern laws are based on lex talionis principles as well.
I wonder if this guy ever got saved. I also often wonder if those like this guy and others who oppose the Lord have demons that they need to be delivered of.
...Because I'm graduating this year.
I think you misunderstood me. Ok, there are gaps in other religions... 500 years between Buddha and his writings.. But the vast majority of scholars take these texts as being reliable, meaning, we have accurate information of what the avatars of Hinduism teaches, what Buddha did and taught, and what Muhammad did and taught... Same with Jesus
Based on the consistencies between the texts, etc..
And the other points?
I haven't found any inconsistencies in the gospels...
No because I am not in university yet... :3 oh boy ill get some smashing for that. I'm currently in grade 10~11. Supposed to be in 11, moved from Sydney to Istanbul, due to weird school system, dropped to 10.
Interesting point about God hitting God
Karmic reincarnation is ridiculous. The easiest way to expose it is to ask the Hindu if he knows anyone who is perfectly good, thus escaping Karma. The answer is always "no, I don't know anyone perfect." Jesus came to "set the captives free" from the bondage self oriented pursuits of religiousity.
[[And Mayon, never call genocide "justice" ever again.]] Begging the question by assuming I believe genocide is justice or that the Bible called for genocide. I can elaborate even further on this since genocide is a very new word so is a very general term.
I am a Hindu and I am a follower of Christ. There is no reason not to follow Christ after a Hindu knows him. Only a proud and superficial Hindu will bring Nirvana (Nirvana is actually in Buddhism, Muksha is Hinduism), Reincarnation, Karma etc. to debate against Christ. Jesus Christ is the God of every Hindu, Muslims, Atheists and everyone.
Or how about “At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed them-men, women and children. We left no survivors.”
Ok I see the point.
Though I think we don't need all things archaeology found for it to be true.. Possible its been destroyed over the years or it hasn't been discovered. Like the recent discovery of pool of Siloam?
No my name is josh and I'm from the land of Aussie :3 living in turkey
I take the Gospels as being accurate, and I also take the other religious texts to being accurate. So just look at them all and see where the evidence points you too. What do you believe and what's the evidence to show what you believe is true?
a lot of atheist philosophically struggle with their world view because what their world view calls for, does not quite align with their conscience
Bingo
How can you say Pul was not an eye witness? He claimed to have seen Christ risen, in person, in 1 Corinthians 15:8
ahuh.... right..
Numbers 31 did not call for genocide but actually brought many into their fold. 1 Samuel did not call for genocide since the charge against the Amelikites was a 400 year old and called for retributory justice for the atrocity the Amelikites committed. Likely you are referring to Deuteronomy mandates to "drive the inhabitants away" which is not a call for genocide. Addressing each point is not dodging the issue, LOL.
Heh, just had to be sure.
The Vedas and Upanishads do not teach that everything is "part of God."
They teach the fact that everything is dependent on God, just like the Holy Bible teaches.
I dont understand... History based on eyewitness accounts... right? So we have Mark writing in the Gospel, that he saw this Jesus walked on water.. turned water into wine.. hung out with whacky people.. got crucified and then he saw him risen from the dead. Same situation with the other gospels, except Luke, where luke interviewed many eye witnesses and got wrote the gospel based on that. 4 different accounts, all agreeing with one another. The evidence is, that it happened...
