Jesus. I have complete trust in you. But I’m fearful at times. Please take away my fears. I’m a single mom with two children with special needs. I’m overwhelmed at times. Every month is a struggle to get by. I struggle to pay rent, and I struggle to buy groceries please Jesus give me strength.
Leave the fear to God. He will continue to give you the strength you need. Im not a momma, so Im not one to speak, but one thing I can say is that He IS with you. I know He hears you. Those kiddies are happy and blessed to have you. He is not done. He will continue to bless you. May you continue to feel His love 🤍
Someone deleted my message.I don't know if it's TH-cam but the opening post, but I'll repeat it.Yes, this person's been on this another channel for years.Sadly doing the wrong thing
@@OurSavior-xr3yc TH-cam often deletes my posts and it’s annoying. Is this person really a scammer? This kind of stuff really bothers me because it makes me less inclined to help those who truly need it. Now I just give to small organizations that are transparent with every penny.
Continue to seek Jesus ask Jesus to help you and give you grace in your weakness ask him for strength and a hatred for sin ask him for a heart that loves the things he loves and hate the things he hates love you and Jesus loves you he right there with you and will never leave you 😁🙂
Don't be LUKEWARM Repenting is the change of mind. To repent literally means a change of mind specifically from all sin paired up with the faith we must have in Jesus that he died on the cross he is Lord & God rose him from the dead on the 3rd day. Believe in your heart confess that & you will be saved. Don't be LUKEWARM 🙏Make a public confession of your faith we must forgive ourselves & every1 so God can forgive us be baptized when you understand what it means. Jesus should be the only 1 in between you & God for Salvation & in anyother way NO 1 ELSE no way else.🙏Please turn to Jesus Christ & repent. God doesn't want you to choose hell. & he's not evil to force you to Heaven. Study the Gospel Study repentance, repent & Share the Gospel. JESUS SAVES FROM HELL🙏🙏🙏
These college kids are products of a secular public education system. Thank you, Cliffe and Stuart, for your bold witness. Y’all are doing a great job serving the Lord.
No they are products of their families that no longer worship God. They no longer teach the Bible at home and don’t model Jesus Christ in their families. The school doesn’t go into the home and tell parents not to teach their children about Jesus Christ. If you want your child to know your religion, teach them your religion at home.
they are not secular becuase they are college kids, they are secular because of THEM. College is important, college can educate about the facts of the world and how it works.
The fear of God is to fear losing him. A deep and profound respect and love for God. Just as you would fear losing a parent, the one who guides you, protects you, and shows you love unconditionally.
Fear of God is reverence, awe and veneration. You don’t have to fear losing Him because He has promised never to leave you. You have to work on not letting your doubts overtake your faith, you need then double down on Jesus Christ.
20:25 ayo cliff you are an amazing listener, i needed subtitles to understand what that young man said😂 God bless you Cliffe and Stuart, Jesus’ message is spreading quickly and you guys are doing an awesome job patiently breaking down the Bible for these youngsters
Thank you both for leading us all back to God with your vids! I pray over every eye that passes over this comment, that you may all be protected and given pure and holy thoughts.
Yes you surely can. I don't know what that true identity is, but God willing it's something special❤️✝️ Edit: 9:24 Cliffe has been saying that exact phrase for I don't know how long😭😭
Hey Cliffe and Stuart I was watching some of your older videos recently. I really enjoy the monologue you guys would do at the end of your videos. You guys should consider going back to that. It was really helpful. Either way, you guys are absolutely awesome, and I pray the Lord keeps guiding you two on your mission. Have a great week everyone, and God bless.
When I was a new follower of Christ, just 12 years ago, the pastor at the little church I chose said the same thing to me as Stewart brought up. He said I have to be baptized by water and then I will have salvation. I thought I was good to go until I got further into the Word and realized we must be born again in the spirit to enter the Kingdom of God. The problem is, I still have not had a born again experience..
You cant "work" your way to salvation. If you would like God to truly forgive you, all you have to do is believe on His Son Jesus Christ. That He died and rose for the sins of man. You are free whether or not you have had a "born again" experience. God bless you, may the peace of the Lord be with you
That's so cool he brought up AA that's how Jesus reached me after years of me hardening my heart. I was once very much like many of the students they talk with.
I feared my father, mother, drill sergeants, platoon leaders, many of my bosses, but above all… GOD Fear doesn’t mean you don’t respect, love, care for, admire, etc. I find fear to just be the ultimate respect of all the positive emotions you feel towards anyone and it keeps me IN CHECK
Your first paragraph is a great analogy for the kind of fear that God expects. We are to "be as children". And, not get too big for our britches, lest we get smoked 😂
'The Debate Regarding Free Will' ☺️ Keep in mind that God has His will, too. And God's will is that none should perish. Your statement: "Everyone has their own free will." Yes, each living human being has the free will to obey God or disobey God. Personally, I choose to obey God so that my soul will land in heaven rather than land in hell. 😊
Where in the New Testament is the Sabbath? Mar 2:27-28: "And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath." - The word "man" here is "Anthropos" meaning human kind, not only Jews. Also when people say "the day of the Lord" is Sunday, that seems to go against what Jesus says. The paralel verse is in: Ezek 20:11-12: "And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them. Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them." - Here again "man" is "Adam" meaning, person, individual or human kind, not only Jews. It seems that most people believe that the new testament is vastly different than the old testament and everything not specifically repeated in it is now allowed or at least not needed anymore. Then one should ask what is the New Testament ? 2Cor 3:3: "Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart." And the pararel verse: Jer 31:33: "But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people." Ezek 11:19: "And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh:" So the New Testament is not "new" it's the same law the 10 Commandments, but this time written on our hearts. So to suggest that one or more of the 10 Commandments is not valid, changed or in anyway done away with is not in line with the fact that God does not change. We change, but He does not.
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf Not sure what you mean by pointing to these verses, elaborate if your are trying to bring up arguments for or against what was said.
Is a shame that Cliff and Stuart chose to reject this truth, is hard for me to understand why, but is probably have to do with Cliffs parents. Cliffs father kept the Sabbath but his mother didn't, there might be some bias there or not
Fearing God is accepting all that God is. Yes He loves us proved by Jesus laying down his life for us on the cross. But this same God destroyed the whole world in the great flood, except for the 8 on the ark and has also created hell. So even though we know God loves us, nevertheless we do not let this prevent us from realising that there is this other aspect to Him. And the this realisation is the fear of the Lord, which produces sober mindedness, a perquisite for wisdom.
The other aspects of God is His righteousness and justice which He will not overlook or back down from. He will not be compromising His righteousness for the unrighteousness of man. That’s why He sent Himself down through 42 generations incarnate as Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is God’s offer for mankind to take care of our unrighteous state. Jesus Christ is man’s opportunity to get back to God. “ But God demonstrates His own love towards us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8.
saiah 40:22 refers to the circle of the world, using the Hebrew word ain, which is used in just one other place, Proverbs 8:27, also to mean a circle. Showing the science that God reveled Earth was a planet 1000s of years before earth was proven not flat, and many more points like that proves the universe God created is being proven by scientific discovery in these advanced modern times 🧠💻🌎 no other religion lines up with scientific facts we've discovered about the universe that is true 👀
Can we talk about the sabbath anyone? I learned that the Catholic Church blasphemed the Holy Bible by when a pope decided a long time ago to convert Saturday the sabbath to a Sunday when Rome and the Catholic Church had major influence around the world. What is the importance then of Saturday? Should we keep that as the real sabbath in our life still? But ( I get it though if we can’t maybe, we have things to do I believe more nowadays then before ) but then keeping the Sunday church is a part of following the catholic church’s tradition, the Vatican literally re wrote the commandments claiming they have authority like God to do so which is blasphemy in claiming to being like God and changing out the sabbath from the commandments. I will mention that they have paganism in their religion. We used to keep the sabbath on Saturday that’s when people went to church but now it’s Sunday do to blasphemy of the Catholic Church and it’s influence. If we are being honest “Cultural” Christians follow the Vatican’s paganisms tradition by keeping the Sunday as a sabbath. Most people I know are not aware of this but it’s a very critical topic in my opinion since it is mentioned in the commandments in scripture. Also in the scriptures it mentions that the people of God will be known by having a marked stamp on their forehead and when proclaiming the God of The Sabbath as their God the world will know who they follow. This is all I believe in Daniel and revelations. The forerunner777 on instagram has a whole study about the sabbath on his account and he’s another wise teacher who’s helped me a lot in my walk with God. I understand Stuart though of coming assertive in the question do to the fact he’s been and teaching church on Sunday. And I get it , if you don’t know but honor God the best you can I don’t think they are less or more because of it I just want to have someone’s opinions thoughts on it😀 God Bless everyone! Love watching cliffe and Stuart! Lol

28:00 Amen Stuart the fundamental of the gospel is grace. It is God who works through believers, faith comes first, we live by faith in Jesus Christ as a vessel for God. We don’t live by works to earn heaven. Unlike Alcoholics Anonymous, for Christians our identity is in Jesus Christ not a sinful habit. We need God’s help to overcome and to exercise His plan and purpose for our individual lives and to help others. Sadly many Christians don’t fully understand, the simplicity of grace. We’re talking eternal heaven and hell, it has to be simple, that even a child can receive. That’s why I’m relieved Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith-Hebrews 12:2. John 15:5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” Romans 1:17 “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith. Galatians 3:11 “But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.”
*Fearing God is similar to being afraid of your parents when you do something bad and you know you’ll get disciplined by them. Being afraid of God means that you know you will get extremely disciplined or condemned if you become to evil. Evil people condemn themselves.*
What about Matthew 5:18-19 where Jesus says “for verily I say unto you till heaven and earth pass one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these commandments and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven” Maybe I’m wrong but for what I understand Jesus is clarifying that the Ten Commandments in the Old Testament law are still law and must be followed until the heavens and the earth pass and all is fulfilled, one of those commandments being to keep the sabbath. Anyone got thoughts on this please?
I’ve done some dumb things in my life making mistakes, and some very big ones-but I’m grateful I’ve never made the unbearable mistake of throwing my life away, namely that of Eternal Life. That disaster would be too much for me. I presume my regret would be such, that I’d be weeping and gnashing my teeth in hell, as I waited for God to destroy me. So yes I’ve made some stupid mistakes in my life, but they are being offset by the one thing I actually did do, that was incredibly right. It was the accepting of Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour whom I now gratefully obey, because God forgave me when I repented of my sins. But everlasting life is not just more of this earthly life. It’s a different life. Its one in which we have no conception of. It’s a new life that’s so improved it’s impossible to imagine it. And this new life is to be given to me and others like me, because we said yes to God, by accepting His free gift of Eternal Life. We did not deserve this or expect this. We are going to live forever. How incredible!! How marvellous!! What a great God we worship and serve and also adore. Now it’s Him that we love to please and serve with our extreme obedience.
The vacuum created in society by the absence of the Creator God is filled by the spirits (fallen Messengers, fallen Angels) who demonstrate their existence and power greater than our own. This is why our ancestors identified them by many names including the gods. TH-cam has the African Zangbeto dance demonstrating their interactions in our plane of existence.
19:40 I have heard Cliffe mention this in other videos as well. It's the idea that humans told God to get lost and he complies with their request and does so. But, I have to ask if we accept that God is all knowing then why would an all loving God take a step back knowing that it would hurt people? And even if you think it is justified for God to do this I have to ask why doesn't it work the other way? Why is it that when millions of people prey for God to take a more active role in the world to heal the sick and end wars and genocides he doesn't? Why does God complaying with human requests seem to only work one way?
Well to answer your first question, God is God, if you tell him you don't want him in your life and he leaves then that's your fault. That doesn't mean he leaves the world, just leaves you in particular. God is still doing miracles. But we are in the end times, there will be more wars, and more famine, and more diseases. These things must happen before he comes back.
@@LandonJones-mk9rg 1. Cliffe said that God took a step back and because of that the world suffered so clearly according to Cliffe God did not just leave individual people. Now if you disagree with Cliffe there that's fine but I'm adressing what he said. 2. Show me where God is doing miracles. 3. Everybody always thinks they are in the end times. That's not an argument. 4. You haven't adressed my final point. If God takes a step back because people tell him to do it why doesn't that seem to work the other way around as well?
3:12 but if it is faith alone that gets us into Heaven, and works do not matter, then what of 1 Timothy 5:8? "If any one does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." If my understanding is correct, then failing to provide for your family is enough to prevent you from getting into heaven. So certainly, actions do matter? I'd love to hear some opinions on this.
I have been reading some more of the bible and something is puzzling me. Luke 6:31 Do to others as you would have them do to you. Matthew 7:12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. So if someone wrongs you in some way then that would mean they want you to do the same to them according to these 2. (Sure you can say the person who wronged you dont follow the bible) but if you follow the bible then those 2 sentence would apply. But then there is Romans 12:19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. So if someone wronged you and you did the same back at them would that go in under the first 2 about "Do to others as you would want them to do to you" because if the person who wronged you want you to do the same then its no revenge. But if Luke 6:31 and Matthew 7:12 dont count then it would be revenge. So which is it? Would it be your attacker who wants you to punch him/her in the face back? or Is it you who is vengeful?
First, you need to put those verses in context. In Luke 6 and Mathew 7, Jesus is encouraging us to love each other, do good to our enemies and be humble. Consequently, " Do to other as you have them do to you" means you--as a disciple of Christ--love with respect regardless how the others behave. Citing these verses out of context is a crime. No contractions at all; the message is clear: do not harm your enemies, instead, love them.
@ again with the excuse of context. Context dont change that they go against each other. Do to others what they do to you = if soneone hits you then you hit them otherwise you didnt do what they to you and if they hit you and you hit them back thats revenge. If you dont hit them back the. You didnt what they did to you. Its pretty simple. Unless the bible says one thing but means something else = Lying.
@@giovanijrodriguez5267 so which is true? Luke 6:31 “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” That would mean that if someone hits you then they want you to hit them back. Its pretty simple. No contractions??? Well I am not pregnant or about to give birth so No I dont have any contractions. And you know what you get from loving your enemy??? You loose the war in the long run.
1st Corinthians 2:9 KJV But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Jesus is God God the Father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit, makes up god, in the beginning there was the word, the word was god, and the word was with god, and all that was created was created through him and nothing was created except through him, john 1 & the word became human and made his home among us & was full of unfailing love and faithfulness to show us how to be even after being killed by his very creation to show us true love, because god is love and all that will believe this will have ever lasting life through the word or jesus
I have to respectfully disagree with the part about the Sabbath it actually is in the New Testament and Jesus kept the Sabbath so in the end all be all I’m going to do what Jesus Christ did…he said keep all of my father’s Commandments John 15 and that’s including the fourth one. I think it’s ironic that it is the only commandment that starts with remember.
@@starryskyday3160 Non denominational is still a denomination. The best way to lead people to Christ is to talk about Christ, which is what Cliff and Stuart do.
@@gingercake0907Wait a minute.. Non denomination is still denomination? 🤔 Please explain that. The understanding that I get from denominations is they all have manmade bylaws and rules as their doctrines. So, need clarification on your point please.
May The LORD bless all that you put your hands to...

You have got to hand it to them !!!! The American Fundamentalist Mega-Churches are a great business model. The "god almighty" dollars just keep rolling in....straight into the pockets of the pastors
My Muslim frend told me this how do i answer him?[The first day, god created the night and day but in the 4th day,according to genesis 1, god created the sun. But how can u have night and day if u didn't have the sun?]
I love that ALCOHOLIC Anonymous point. Why’s it not Muslim or Hindu or any other religion including demon worship. Why’s it only work when the Bible is involved. There’s a certain power there.
Oh so does God contradict Himself and say He isn’t God? Book , chapter and verse where God says He’s a liar and a hypocrite and is not I AM WHO I AM, that would be a contradiction. Go into New Testament and find where Jesus Christ says loving God , your neighbor and enemy is a lie and hypocrisy and He didn’t mean it, that would be a contradiction. Find the words where Jesus Christ admits it’s all a lie, that would be a contradiction. You have made up the contradictions in your head.
@gingercake0907 the first thing is bible wasn't written by jesus my dear but we believe in jesus more than you like we prayers five times a day just like jesus did and our womens wear hijab just like jesus says etc we believe in a book written by or revealed to jesus not by common people like jhon.luke....matthew etc
The Sabbath is one of those verses that Christ will have to clear up cause there’s division on it. Christ mention to a person, If he holds the 10 commandments?, then there’s a verse that’s says don’t let anyone hold you to a sabbath, we’ll have to wait on that one.
Sunday (the first day of the week aka the "Lord's day") is for worship. Jesus taught, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath" (Mark 2:27), emphasizing its purpose as a gift for refreshment and connection with God, not as a burdensome rule.
The 4th commandment is the only commandment that God said to remember. REMEMBER the Sabbath Day, to KEEP it holy. The New Testament did not repeal all the Old Testament laws. Jesus was sent to be sacrificed for our sins because God knows that no one can keep all 613 commandments to perfection (no man is good, not one), so we need God's grace and Jesus's sacrifice so that we may have eternal life. To accuse people who insist on keeping the 4th commandment; the ONLY commandment that God said to REMEMBER to KEEP it holy, of being legalists, without faith in Christ, and rejecting God's grace IS false teaching. BTW, Jesus kept the seventh day Sabbath even after his resurrection.
If God says it, then that should be the end of it. What does God say and what day? Exodus 20:8-11 KJV 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
But Jesus doesn’t just say to do that in remembrance of him (other verses) Also no catholic believes baptism alone gets you into heaven. You didn’t say that but just making that point clear. “I am the living bread that came down from heaven” and “the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh” in John 6:51. Be it symbolic or not I believe the Eucharist is important. Love the work you guys are doing! Thank you for not demonizing Catholics. To many Protestant speakers tend to do.
Hello; What do you think eating bread and drinking wine and claiming it is Christ flesh and blood is doing for you? Thanks in advance Bsafe and Lord Bless.
Cliffe is right in the sense that every civilization appears to have a belief in some type of higher power, that's very true, but it does not follow that "therefore God must exist", ancient civilizations across the globe invented Gods as a way of explaining things they had no knowledge of, a clap of thunder, or a bolt of lightening from the skies would be viewed as a sign of an angry God who was displeased with something mankind had done, so, to appease that God, an offering of an animal, or in some cases, a human being would be sacrificed. Christianity itself is based on a sacrifice. Today in the 21st century, we have much better answers as to how and why things are the way they are, no God is required. The scientific method is the best tool we have to determine the truth. In my humble opinion.
Ok then - just how do you scientifically prove that everything you’ve said is indeed true? You can’t, because you’re so out of touch with reality that you don’t know the difference between metaphysics and Metamucil.
When starting and growing a real and genuine relationship with God, an eventual natural result is striving to be Christ-like which of course is getting baptized just like Jesus did (fully immersed in water), which establishes the Holy Spirit empowered spiritual connection to God the Father through Jesus.
Because remember they're subjective unless they're focusing on themselves. Then all of a sudden, it's all objective until you correct them. Then it's back to being subjective. It's Tom's little hamster. Will you know that!
@giauscaesar8047 Thank you, you as well although I have left other messages, but you 2 keep deleting them which is no surprise. And there was a freeze and one of Tom's threads. The wheel was spinning around and round. Just like his hamster wheel does so even though I commented 6 or 7 times they wouldn't post nor could I read anyone else's comments because Lily was buffering or frozen for days so we're not stopped. I hope you are well. My friend. Hope you are well.
The girl at 9:33 asked a really great question, I'm sorry to say this but i think Cliffe totally avoided answering her specific point. Basically, if someone commits an horrendous crime upon another person, and is never caught, then towards the end of his life this same person *genuinely* accepts Jesus as his saviour, as i understand it, Jesus will forgive him, so, where is the justice for his horrific crime during his younger life?. Lets suppose the person to whom he committed that terrible act was a believer in another faith, and they die from their injuries he inflicted upon them, again, as i understand it, because that person did not accept Jesus as their saviour, they go to hell, while the perpetrator of the crime, because later in life he accepts Jesus, he spends eternity in heaven. The girl was asking how can that be right? Any rational person would say the attacker has been rewarded, and the victim is punished after death. At no point did Cliffe address that point as far as i could see.
Saint Paul literally murdered and tortured Christians before Christ revealed himself to him. As Christ was dying on the cross he says to forgive. It is not for us to judge, forgiveness is salvation.
@@stan5936 stan, think about what you are saying, so if a man slaughters your entire family, you'd forgive him? me personally, i would want him taken to court, sentenced by a fair minded judge and sent to prison for life. I could not forgive someone for such an act, I don't think most people could either. Yet Jesus is saying "welcome to eternal heaven" if he accepts Jesus as his saviour on his deathbed? so no punishment is meted out? He's rewarded?
As every culture has had a belief, but in the scope of things, religion was a means of societal control by the power elite. As each region has another god, wouldn't that point to universal insanity
Where was the loving father, all-powerful, all-knowing, and perfectly just God during the Holocaust? Was he indifferent, unable, or just unwilling to intervene? Perhaps if they were followers of Christ, it would have never happened?
Hi Cliffe. In the podcast of you and Alex Connor you guys had difficulty in answering his question on the unforgivable sin. I think this would help you guys next time. th-cam.com/video/9XEsDQKLLy4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xF4xebingXZ6jqrN The Pharoah was probably a bad example. Alex seem genuinely concerned for his past actions. Hopes this helps.
The Church he could be referring to referring to about not keeping the Sabath I believe is about World Mission Society Church and they believe in something else other than Jesus. Please beware of this Church.
LOL. You’re welcome to say that you don’t want to hold a biblical view of baptism. But to claim that someone who says, “baptism is for the remission of sins.” Or “it (baptism) saves you” is a false teacher is completely out of line and insanely divisive
Stuart explanation of fear of God is too diluted. Luke 12:4-5 (NET) “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more they can do. But I will warn you whom you should fear: Fear the one who, after the killing, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him! Apart from what Stuart say , need to include also authority and power fear. Like a criminal to a judge kind of fear cause His judgement is final and nothing you can do to escape justice kind of fear.
I hate to disagree with Stuart but baptism is one of three necessary parts for salvation. We all agree that you have to believe (Mark 16:15) but you also have to repent and get baptized (Acts 2:36). Why? Baptism along with repentance is for the forgiveness of your sins. The verse is very clear. No one thinks you can be saved without repenting so why do people leave out baptism?🤔
Peter later states in Acts 5:31; 10:43; 13:38; 26:18 that through faith in Christ alone our sins are forgiven. Information obtained through my Logos Bible app, Bible Knowledge Commentary.
@@x96mustanggtxI agree there are multiple verses that state salvation by faith but any good scholar knows you have to look at all the verses of the Bible to get the complete understanding of a topic. One of several verses that show baptism is needed for salvation is Acts 2:38. “…Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins…” You have to repent and be baptized to get forgiveness of your sins so the complete picture to being saved is to believe (faith), repent, and be baptized.
Jesus led a perfect life so that we could all be saved, yet he had to be baptized by John the Baptist. Why, Jesus needed to identify with the sinners he would be saving as their messiah and Baptism is a means of identification with the kingdom of God. Mathew 3:15 BKC (Bible Knowledge Commentary). Jesus’ response to John was that it was fitting for Him to take part in John’s baptism at this time in order to fulfill all righteousness. What did Jesus mean? The Law included no requirements about baptism, so Jesus could not have had in view anything pertaining to Levitical righteousness. But John’s message was a message of repentance, and those experiencing it were looking forward to a coming Messiah who would be righteous and who would bring in righteousness. If Messiah were to provide righteousness for sinners, He must be identified with sinners. It was therefore in the will of God for Him to be baptized by John in order to be identified (the real meaning of the word “baptized”) with sinners. Louis A. Barbieri Jr., “Matthew,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures, ed. J. F. Walvoord and R. B. Zuck, vol. 2 (Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1985), 25. and Matthew 3:15 FSB (Faithlife Study Bible) now The Greek word arti used here means “at once” or “immediately.” John did not want to baptize Jesus, but Jesus wanted him to do so without delay. to fulfill all righteousness John’s baptism for repentance was a means of identification with the kingdom of God. Although Jesus-the sinless Son of God-had nothing for which to repent, He publicly identified with God’s kingdom through His baptism. John D. Barry et al., Faithlife Study Bible (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2012, 2016), Mt 3:15. Through our faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ alone, we receive the holy spirit. Baptism is not a requirement to receive it as it is said in Acts 2:38 if we read it as it is written, which states " 38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (So we need to be baptized to receive the Holy Spirit?) See Ephesians 1:13-14 below. The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Ac 2:37-38. Ephesians 1:13-14 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. Most importantly to note is the thief on the cross in Luke 23:42-43 Luke 23:42-43 42 And he (The Thief) said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 43 And he (Jesus) said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.” The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Lk 23:41-43. The Thief had 0 chance of being baptized while nailed hand and foot on the cross, but he could surely proclaim Jesus as his Lord and Savior and repent, and that got him into paradise right then and there.
@@x96mustanggtxFirst, the thief didn’t need baptism because he asked Jesus directly for forgiveness. It was a unique moment in time when Jesus was on earth and you could appeal to him personally. Just like the fortunate people who talked to Jesus and asked to be healed and they were instantly healed. Today we have to pray for healing. Secondly, baptism has multiple purposes. Yes, it identifies us as Christians but baptism is also for the forgiveness of sins and it’s when you receive the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38). Read the second chapter of Acts and it will all come together. It’s the day of Pentecost and Peter is telling the gospel for the first time. Notice what happens after they hear the gospel: “Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” (Acts 2:37). Now look at Peter’s response: “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2.38). Now drop down to Acts 2:41 “So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.” (Acts 2:41). In conclusion, Baptism identifies us as Christians; it’s for the forgiveness of sins; and we receive the Holy Spirit after baptism. It’s not the water that saves but the act of baptism is one of the things God requires to be saved. You have to hear the gospel, believe it, repent and get baptized. Then the Lord adds you to the church.
@@michaelfrancis6436 Lets take a look at a few places after Acts 2:38 where baptism is not mentioned while spreading the Gospel. Gentiles hear the good news: Acts 10:43 " 43 To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” (Everyone who believes in him "Jesus" receives forgiveness of sins through "his name") Are they not saved because Peter failed to tell them to get baptized? Paul and Barnabas at Antioch in Pisidia: Acts 13:39 " 39 and by him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses." (and by him "Jesus" everyone who believes is freed from everything) no mention of baptism here. The Philippian Jailer Converted: Acts 16:31 "31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” ("Believe" in the Lord Jesus. No mention of baptism here. Did they lie to the Jailer? were he and his family not saved?) Paul Tells of His Conversion: Acts 26:18 "18 to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’" (That they may receive "forgiveness of sins" by "faith in me (Jesus)". Lets take a step back though and see Acts 26:15. Paul says "15 And I said, 'who are you, Lord?' And the Lord said, 'I am Jesus whom you are persecuting." So the Lord Jesus himself says in Acts 26:18 "18 to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive "forgiveness of sins" and a place among those who are sanctified by "faith in me (Jesus)".’ Again, no mention of Baptism here. First we are given the Gospel, we accept the Gospel and Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior at which point we receive the Holy Spirit and our Salvation (So long as we truly believe, and that is only known by the Lord) conviction of the Holy Spirit in our lives will drive us to produce the fruit of our faith (to be more like Jesus) which may also result in being Baptized. One last bit of scripture. By Grace Through Faith: Ephesians 2:8 "8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God," (For by Grace you have been saved through faith) Not faith and baptism.
Why do Christians keep trying to twist words and definitions when it comes to God? Fear means fear. Not awe. Fear god because he's terrible to those who don't believe in him and those who don't worship him. And what does "created in his image" actually mean?"
@ISATŌP1 So there are a few issues here. One, that's not what fear means. In no other context is fear and awe the same thing. I will grant it could be confusing because the word "fear" in the biblical sense was yirha or yirah, I can't remember the spelling, but it translates to awe. But in greek, it's translated into fear. So the fear of god would mean to be afraid would be in awe of god, meaning having reverance for. However, yirah is also associated with the feeling of shaking, which is prevalent in having a lot of fear, so I can see how this could be taken either way.
@ISATŌP1 As for your second comment, idk what you are talking about in the slightest. To me, it literally reads like you just typed a bunch of random works together. Could you try elaborating a little more clearly? If you'd like. I appreciate your responses already and that you took the time to engage with me thus far.
@jonathansong855 Thanks for correcting me and setting me straight . I'm moved by your compelling rebuttle. I now see the error of my ways. (I'm being facetious 🤫)
@@etherealblacketernal2889Only Spiritual Discernment is able to see through the Interpolation(adulteration) of the word of God Truth that fills the bible!!
No you can't because there has never been any evidence to prove god is real or true. You'd be better off studying science and reality. belief in the supernatural is degrading and embarrassing. it demeans us all. Good luck.
I am a devout Christian, but I believe what he was saying about the Sabbath is wrong. Actually, it's the only commandment that is prefaced by the word Remember. The word remember was meant to mean forever. The Sabbath is mentioned several times in the NT. Also Jesus said in Matthew "Think not that I AM NOT COME TO DESTROY THE LAW, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill" (By "fulfill", I think he was referring to the prophets.). For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, ONE JOT OR TITTLE SHALL IN NO-WISE PASS FROM THE LAW, till all be fulfilled (I believe that refers to his second coming. That's why he stopped reading Isaiah 61:1-2 in the scroll in the synagogue Luke 4:17-19.) That means that every commandment was still applicable then and now. Jesus kept the Sabbath every seventh day, as was his custom: Luke 4:16: "And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as was His custom, He went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and He stood up to read" (Luke 4:17-19). Jesus preached on the Sabbath: Jesus also taught on the Sabbaths. Jesus healed on the Sabbath. Jesus rested in the tomb over the Sabbath after his work of saving man. He resurrected after sundown on Saturday, after the Sabbath. (of course, he was crucified on Wednesday). And one more point. Man does not have the authority to change God's word. The Sabbath is on Saturday, not Sunday as appointed by man.
I have to respectfully disagree with the part about the Sabbath it actually is in the New Testament and Jesus kept the Sabbath so in the end all be all I’m going to do what Jesus Christ did…he said keep all of my father’s Commandments John 15 and that’s including the fourth one. I think it’s ironic that it is the only commandment that starts with remember.
Jesus. I have complete trust in you. But I’m fearful at times. Please take away my fears. I’m a single mom with two children with special needs. I’m overwhelmed at times. Every month is a struggle to get by. I struggle to pay rent, and I struggle to buy groceries please Jesus give me strength.
Leave the fear to God. He will continue to give you the strength you need. Im not a momma, so Im not one to speak, but one thing I can say is that He IS with you. I know He hears you. Those kiddies are happy and blessed to have you. He is not done. He will continue to bless you. May you continue to feel His love 🤍

Don't be LUKEWARM Repenting is the change of mind. To repent literally means a change of mind specifically from all sin paired up with the faith we must have in Jesus that he died on the cross he is Lord & God rose him from the dead on the 3rd day. Believe in your heart confess that & you will be saved. Don't be LUKEWARM 🙏Make a public confession of your faith we must forgive ourselves & every1 so God can forgive us be baptized when you understand what it means. Jesus should be the only 1 in between you & God for Salvation & in anyother way NO 1 ELSE no way else.🙏Please turn to Jesus Christ & repent. God doesn't want you to choose hell. & he's not evil to force you to Heaven. Study the Gospel Study repentance, repent & Share the Gospel. JESUS SAVES FROM HELL🙏🙏🙏
I got you 🙏
Try to get closer to God and love him with all your heart and after some time you will have no will to even look at a woman lustfuly

These college kids are products of a secular public education system. Thank you, Cliffe and Stuart, for your bold witness. Y’all are doing a great job serving the Lord.
No they are products of their families that no longer worship God. They no longer teach the Bible at home and don’t model Jesus Christ in their families. The school doesn’t go into the home and tell parents not to teach their children about Jesus Christ. If you want your child to know your religion, teach them your religion at home.
The university has little to do with their ideologies
they are not secular becuase they are college kids, they are secular because of THEM. College is important, college can educate about the facts of the world and how it works.
I always in pray for you and all your families. All your organizations. Please be safe and stay strong in the Faith
Stop living in the false world of imperfection that God did not create! Where Imperfection is Entertained, God is Denied!!
The fear of God is to fear losing him. A deep and profound respect and love for God. Just as you would fear losing a parent, the one who guides you, protects you, and shows you love unconditionally.
Fear of God is reverence, awe and veneration. You don’t have to fear losing Him because He has promised never to leave you. You have to work on not letting your doubts overtake your faith, you need then double down on Jesus Christ.
This one was a BANGER. Great Job.
20:25 ayo cliff you are an amazing listener, i needed subtitles to understand what that young man said😂 God bless you Cliffe and Stuart, Jesus’ message is spreading quickly and you guys are doing an awesome job patiently breaking down the Bible for these youngsters
Thank you both for leading us all back to God with your vids! I pray over every eye that passes over this comment, that you may all be protected and given pure and holy thoughts.
Yes you surely can. I don't know what that true identity is, but God willing it's something special❤️✝️
Edit: 9:24 Cliffe has been saying that exact phrase for I don't know how long😭😭
Hey Cliffe and Stuart I was watching some of your older videos recently. I really enjoy the monologue you guys would do at the end of your videos. You guys should consider going back to that. It was really helpful. Either way, you guys are absolutely awesome, and I pray the Lord keeps guiding you two on your mission. Have a great week everyone, and God bless.
I second this
I third that
I fourth that!

May our Lord and savior be with you as you keep up the good work.
Wow the students on this campus were so much more respectful and willing to listen compared to some of the others!
May Christ bless all! ☦️
I just want to thank you for this you are getting just as good as your Dad.
When I was a new follower of Christ, just 12 years ago, the pastor at the little church I chose said the same thing to me as Stewart brought up. He said I have to be baptized by water and then I will have salvation. I thought I was good to go until I got further into the Word and realized we must be born again in the spirit to enter the Kingdom of God. The problem is, I still have not had a born again experience..
You cant "work" your way to salvation. If you would like God to truly forgive you, all you have to do is believe on His Son Jesus Christ. That He died and rose for the sins of man. You are free whether or not you have had a "born again" experience.
God bless you, may the peace of the Lord be with you
That's so cool he brought up AA that's how Jesus reached me after years of me hardening my heart. I was once very much like many of the students they talk with.
Jesus is king 👑
Love Cliffe and Stuart!
Thanks guys! ❤

This video has a killer earsplitting buzz when using headphones
I feared my father, mother, drill sergeants, platoon leaders, many of my bosses, but above all… GOD
Fear doesn’t mean you don’t respect, love, care for, admire, etc.
I find fear to just be the ultimate respect of all the positive emotions you feel towards anyone and it keeps me IN CHECK
Your first paragraph is a great analogy for the kind of fear that God expects. We are to "be as children". And, not get too big for our britches, lest we get smoked 😂
'The Debate Regarding Free Will'
☺️ Keep in mind that God has His will, too. And God's will is that none should perish. Your statement: "Everyone has their own free will." Yes, each living human being has the free will to obey God or disobey God. Personally, I choose to obey God so that my soul will land in heaven rather than land in hell. 😊
@0:35, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, Prov 9:10
Nice Stuart !!
Where in the New Testament is the Sabbath?
Mar 2:27-28: "And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath." - The word "man" here is "Anthropos" meaning human kind, not only Jews.
Also when people say "the day of the Lord" is Sunday, that seems to go against what Jesus says.
The paralel verse is in:
Ezek 20:11-12: "And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them. Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them." - Here again "man" is "Adam" meaning, person, individual or human kind, not only Jews.
It seems that most people believe that the new testament is vastly different than the old testament and everything not specifically repeated in it is now allowed or at least not needed anymore.
Then one should ask what is the New Testament ?
2Cor 3:3: "Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart."
And the pararel verse:
Jer 31:33: "But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people."
Ezek 11:19: "And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh:"
So the New Testament is not "new" it's the same law the 10 Commandments, but this time written on our hearts.
So to suggest that one or more of the 10 Commandments is not valid, changed or in anyway done away with is not in line with the fact that God does not change. We change, but He does not.
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf
Not sure what you mean by pointing to these verses, elaborate if your are trying to bring up arguments for or against what was said.
Is a shame that Cliff and Stuart chose to reject this truth, is hard for me to understand why, but is probably have to do with Cliffs parents. Cliffs father kept the Sabbath but his mother didn't, there might be some bias there or not
Very good
Fearing God is accepting all that God is. Yes He loves us proved by Jesus laying down his life for us on the cross.
But this same God destroyed the whole world in the great flood, except for the 8 on the ark and has also created hell.
So even though we know God loves us, nevertheless we do not let this prevent us from realising that there is this other aspect to Him.
And the this realisation is the fear of the Lord, which produces sober mindedness, a perquisite for wisdom.
The other aspects of God is His righteousness and justice which He will not overlook or back down from. He will not be compromising His righteousness for the unrighteousness of man. That’s why He sent Himself down through 42 generations incarnate as Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is God’s offer for mankind to take care of our unrighteous state. Jesus Christ is man’s opportunity to get back to God. “ But God demonstrates His own love towards us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8.
saiah 40:22 refers to the circle of the world, using the Hebrew word ain, which is used in just one other place, Proverbs 8:27, also to mean a circle. Showing the science that God reveled Earth was a planet 1000s of years before earth was proven not flat, and many more points like that proves the universe God created is being proven by scientific discovery in these advanced modern times 🧠💻🌎 no other religion lines up with scientific facts we've discovered about the universe that is true 👀
Pray for the answer, God will answer you. Fast and pray ernestly, and he will guide you.
Can we talk about the sabbath anyone? I learned that the Catholic Church blasphemed the Holy Bible by when a pope decided a long time ago to convert Saturday the sabbath to a Sunday when Rome and the Catholic Church had major influence around the world. What is the importance then of Saturday? Should we keep that as the real sabbath in our life still? But ( I get it though if we can’t maybe, we have things to do I believe more nowadays then before ) but then keeping the Sunday church is a part of following the catholic church’s tradition, the Vatican literally re wrote the commandments claiming they have authority like God to do so which is blasphemy in claiming to being like God and changing out the sabbath from the commandments. I will mention that they have paganism in their religion. We used to keep the sabbath on Saturday that’s when people went to church but now it’s Sunday do to blasphemy of the Catholic Church and it’s influence. If we are being honest “Cultural” Christians follow the Vatican’s paganisms tradition by keeping the Sunday as a sabbath. Most people I know are not aware of this but it’s a very critical topic in my opinion since it is mentioned in the commandments in scripture. Also in the scriptures it mentions that the people of God will be known by having a marked stamp on their forehead and when proclaiming the God of The Sabbath as their God the world will know who they follow. This is all I believe in Daniel and revelations. The forerunner777 on instagram has a whole study about the sabbath on his account and he’s another wise teacher who’s helped me a lot in my walk with God. I understand Stuart though of coming assertive in the question do to the fact he’s been and teaching church on Sunday. And I get it , if you don’t know but honor God the best you can I don’t think they are less or more because of it I just want to have someone’s opinions thoughts on it😀 God Bless everyone! Love watching cliffe and Stuart! Lol

28:00 Amen Stuart the fundamental of the gospel is grace. It is God who works through believers, faith comes first, we live by faith in Jesus Christ as a vessel for God. We don’t live by works to earn heaven. Unlike Alcoholics Anonymous, for Christians our identity is in Jesus Christ not a sinful habit. We need God’s help to overcome and to exercise His plan and purpose for our individual lives and to help others.
Sadly many Christians don’t fully understand, the simplicity of grace. We’re talking eternal heaven and hell, it has to be simple, that even a child can receive. That’s why I’m relieved Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith-Hebrews 12:2.
John 15:5
“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.”
Romans 1:17
“For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.
Galatians 3:11
“But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.”
Umm you still must keep yhe law even though it don't save you. It's about obeying the lord

*Fearing God is similar to being afraid of your parents when you do something bad and you know you’ll get disciplined by them. Being afraid of God means that you know you will get extremely disciplined or condemned if you become to evil. Evil people condemn themselves.*
What about Matthew 5:18-19 where Jesus says “for verily I say unto you till heaven and earth pass one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these commandments and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven”
Maybe I’m wrong but for what I understand Jesus is clarifying that the Ten Commandments in the Old Testament law are still law and must be followed until the heavens and the earth pass and all is fulfilled, one of those commandments being to keep the sabbath. Anyone got thoughts on this please?

I’ve done some dumb things in my life making mistakes, and some very big ones-but I’m grateful I’ve never made the unbearable mistake of throwing my life away, namely that of Eternal Life.
That disaster would be too much for me. I presume my regret would be such, that I’d be weeping and gnashing my teeth in hell, as I waited for God to destroy me.
So yes I’ve made some stupid mistakes in my life, but they are being offset by the one thing I actually did do, that was incredibly right.
It was the accepting of Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour whom I now gratefully obey, because God forgave me when I repented of my sins.
But everlasting life is not just more of this earthly life. It’s a different life. Its one in which we have no conception of. It’s a new life that’s so improved it’s impossible to imagine it.
And this new life is to be given to me and others like me, because we said yes to God, by accepting His free gift of Eternal Life. We did not deserve this or expect this.
We are going to live forever. How incredible!!
How marvellous!!
What a great God we worship and serve and also adore.
Now it’s Him that we love to please and serve with our extreme obedience.
Never been this early 😂

I have heard Cliffe mention this in other videos as well. It's the idea that humans told God to get lost and he complies with their request and does so.
But, I have to ask if we accept that God is all knowing then why would an all loving God take a step back knowing that it would hurt people?
And even if you think it is justified for God to do this I have to ask why doesn't it work the other way? Why is it that when millions of people prey for God to take a more active role in the world to heal the sick and end wars and genocides he doesn't? Why does God complaying with human requests seem to only work one way?
Well to answer your first question, God is God, if you tell him you don't want him in your life and he leaves then that's your fault. That doesn't mean he leaves the world, just leaves you in particular. God is still doing miracles. But we are in the end times, there will be more wars, and more famine, and more diseases. These things must happen before he comes back.

1. Cliffe said that God took a step back and because of that the world suffered so clearly according to Cliffe God did not just leave individual people. Now if you disagree with Cliffe there that's fine but I'm adressing what he said.
2. Show me where God is doing miracles.
3. Everybody always thinks they are in the end times. That's not an argument.
4. You haven't adressed my final point. If God takes a step back because people tell him to do it why doesn't that seem to work the other way around as well?
3:12 but if it is faith alone that gets us into Heaven, and works do not matter, then what of 1 Timothy 5:8?
"If any one does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is worse than an unbeliever."
If my understanding is correct, then failing to provide for your family is enough to prevent you from getting into heaven. So certainly, actions do matter? I'd love to hear some opinions on this.
I have been reading some more of the bible and something is puzzling me.
Luke 6:31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Matthew 7:12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
So if someone wrongs you in some way then that would mean they want you to do the same to them according to these 2. (Sure you can say the person who wronged you dont follow the bible) but if you follow the bible then those 2 sentence would apply.
But then there is Romans 12:19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.
So if someone wronged you and you did the same back at them would that go in under the first 2 about "Do to others as you would want them to do to you" because if the person who wronged you want you to do the same then its no revenge.
But if Luke 6:31 and Matthew 7:12 dont count then it would be revenge.
So which is it?
Would it be your attacker who wants you to punch him/her in the face back?
or
Is it you who is vengeful?
Its always ironic the ones wronging others take offense when it happens to them.
First, you need to put those verses in context. In Luke 6 and Mathew 7, Jesus is encouraging us to love each other, do good to our enemies and be humble. Consequently, " Do to other as you have them do to you" means you--as a disciple of Christ--love with respect regardless how the others behave. Citing these verses out of context is a crime. No contractions at all; the message is clear: do not harm your enemies, instead, love them.
@ again with the excuse of context.
Context dont change that they go against each other.
Do to others what they do to you = if soneone hits you then you hit them otherwise you didnt do what they to you and if they hit you and you hit them back thats revenge.
If you dont hit them back the. You didnt what they did to you.
Its pretty simple.
Unless the bible says one thing but means something else = Lying.
@@giovanijrodriguez5267 so which is true?
Luke 6:31 “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
That would mean that if someone hits you then they want you to hit them back. Its pretty simple.
No contractions??? Well I am not pregnant or about to give birth so No I dont have any contractions.
And you know what you get from loving your enemy???
You loose the war in the long run.
@ The story of Moses is all about revenge.
Sure you can say its part of the old testament but it is still in the bible.
Cliff you should do a podcast or video with r3alsim !
1st Corinthians 2:9 KJV
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Jesus is God God the Father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit, makes up god, in the beginning there was the word, the word was god, and the word was with god, and all that was created was created through him and nothing was created except through him, john 1 & the word became human and made his home among us & was full of unfailing love and faithfulness to show us how to be even after being killed by his very creation to show us true love, because god is love and all that will believe this will have ever lasting life through the word or jesus

I have to respectfully disagree with the part about the Sabbath it actually is in the New Testament and Jesus kept the Sabbath so in the end all be all I’m going to do what Jesus Christ did…he said keep all of my father’s Commandments John 15 and that’s including the fourth one. I think it’s ironic that it is the only commandment that starts with remember.
Does anyone know what denomination Cluffe is?

What about the 100z of contradictions in bible if you need contradiction let me know
Oh so does God contradict Himself and say He isn’t God? Book , chapter and verse where God says He’s a liar and a hypocrite and is not I AM WHO I AM, that would be a contradiction. Go into New Testament and find where Jesus Christ says loving God , your neighbor and enemy is a lie and hypocrisy and He didn’t mean it, that would be a contradiction. Find the words where Jesus Christ admits it’s all a lie, that would be a contradiction. You have made up the contradictions in your head.
@gingercake0907 the first thing is bible wasn't written by jesus my dear but we believe in jesus more than you like we prayers five times a day just like jesus did and our womens wear hijab just like jesus says etc we believe in a book written by or revealed to jesus not by common people like jhon.luke....matthew etc
The Sabbath is one of those verses that Christ will have to clear up cause there’s division on it. Christ mention to a person, If he holds the 10 commandments?, then there’s a verse that’s says don’t let anyone hold you to a sabbath, we’ll have to wait on that one.
Someone said the sunday is rest
Sunday (the first day of the week aka the "Lord's day") is for worship. Jesus taught, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath" (Mark 2:27), emphasizing its purpose as a gift for refreshment and connection with God, not as a burdensome rule.
The 4th commandment is the only commandment that God said to remember. REMEMBER the Sabbath Day, to KEEP it holy. The New Testament did not repeal all the Old Testament laws. Jesus was sent to be sacrificed for our sins because God knows that no one can keep all 613 commandments to perfection (no man is good, not one), so we need God's grace and Jesus's sacrifice so that we may have eternal life. To accuse people who insist on keeping the 4th commandment; the ONLY commandment that God said to REMEMBER to KEEP it holy, of being legalists, without faith in Christ, and rejecting God's grace IS false teaching. BTW, Jesus kept the seventh day Sabbath even after his resurrection.
If God says it, then that should be the end of it. What does God say and what day?
Exodus 20:8-11 KJV
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
But Jesus doesn’t just say to do that in remembrance of him (other verses) Also no catholic believes baptism alone gets you into heaven. You didn’t say that but just making that point clear.
“I am the living bread that came down from heaven” and “the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh” in John 6:51.
Be it symbolic or not I believe the Eucharist is important.
Love the work you guys are doing! Thank you for not demonizing Catholics. To many Protestant speakers tend to do.
As a protestant, I agree it's important. I believe it is symbolic but Jesus did say do it in remembrance of Him. Luke 22:19

Bless you brother.
Cliffe is right in the sense that every civilization appears to have a belief in some type of higher power, that's very true, but it does not follow that "therefore God must exist", ancient civilizations across the globe invented Gods as a way of explaining things they had no knowledge of, a clap of thunder, or a bolt of lightening from the skies would be viewed as a sign of an angry God who was displeased with something mankind had done, so, to appease that God, an offering of an animal, or in some cases, a human being would be sacrificed. Christianity itself is based on a sacrifice. Today in the 21st century, we have much better answers as to how and why things are the way they are, no God is required. The scientific method is the best tool we have to determine the truth. In my humble opinion.
Ok then - just how do you scientifically prove that everything you’ve said is indeed true? You can’t, because you’re so out of touch with reality that you don’t know the difference between metaphysics and Metamucil.
Isn’t it required to get water baptized. Obviously if you can’t but if you can it’s required correct. Because faith without works is dead.
When starting and growing a real and genuine relationship with God, an eventual natural result is striving to be Christ-like which of course is getting baptized just like Jesus did (fully immersed in water), which establishes the Holy Spirit empowered spiritual connection to God the Father through Jesus.

The belief of good seems very far and distant, removed from all reality living a utopia mindset, while our neighbor gets a hiding
The girl at 9:33 asked a really great question, I'm sorry to say this but i think Cliffe totally avoided answering her specific point. Basically, if someone commits an horrendous crime upon another person, and is never caught, then towards the end of his life this same person *genuinely* accepts Jesus as his saviour, as i understand it, Jesus will forgive him, so, where is the justice for his horrific crime during his younger life?. Lets suppose the person to whom he committed that terrible act was a believer in another faith, and they die from their injuries he inflicted upon them, again, as i understand it, because that person did not accept Jesus as their saviour, they go to hell, while the perpetrator of the crime, because later in life he accepts Jesus, he spends eternity in heaven. The girl was asking how can that be right? Any rational person would say the attacker has been rewarded, and the victim is punished after death. At no point did Cliffe address that point as far as i could see.
Saint Paul literally murdered and tortured Christians before Christ revealed himself to him. As Christ was dying on the cross he says to forgive. It is not for us to judge, forgiveness is salvation.
@@stan5936 stan, think about what you are saying, so if a man slaughters your entire family, you'd forgive him? me personally, i would want him taken to court, sentenced by a fair minded judge and sent to prison for life. I could not forgive someone for such an act, I don't think most people could either. Yet Jesus is saying "welcome to eternal heaven" if he accepts Jesus as his saviour on his deathbed? so no punishment is meted out? He's rewarded?
The justice made for the criminal was already given; it was given to Christ at the cross
As every culture has had a belief, but in the scope of things, religion was a means of societal control by the power elite.
As each region has another god, wouldn't that point to universal insanity
Where was the loving father, all-powerful, all-knowing, and perfectly just God during the Holocaust? Was he indifferent, unable, or just unwilling to intervene? Perhaps if they were followers of Christ, it would have never happened?
Hi Cliffe. In the podcast of you and Alex Connor you guys had difficulty in answering his question on the unforgivable sin. I think this would help you guys next time. th-cam.com/video/9XEsDQKLLy4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xF4xebingXZ6jqrN

The Church he could be referring to referring to about not keeping the Sabath I believe is about World Mission Society Church and they believe in something else other than Jesus. Please beware of this Church.
Eine Frage am Rande: Beten Sie für Putins Seele?
What's with the chanting in the background? Protesters or cheer squad practicing? Lol
He is at a university. I'm willing to bet that there was some sort of practice session going on like you guessed
LOL. You’re welcome to say that you don’t want to hold a biblical view of baptism. But to claim that someone who says, “baptism is for the remission of sins.” Or “it (baptism) saves you” is a false teacher is completely out of line and insanely divisive
Stuart explanation of fear of God is too diluted.
Luke 12:4-5 (NET) “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more they can do.
But I will warn you whom you should fear: Fear the one who, after the killing, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him!
Apart from what Stuart say , need to include also authority and power fear. Like a criminal to a judge kind of fear cause His judgement is final and nothing you can do to escape justice kind of fear.
I hate to disagree with Stuart but baptism is one of three necessary parts for salvation. We all agree that you have to believe (Mark 16:15) but you also have to repent and get baptized (Acts 2:36). Why? Baptism along with repentance is for the forgiveness of your sins. The verse is very clear. No one thinks you can be saved without repenting so why do people leave out baptism?🤔
Peter later states in Acts 5:31; 10:43; 13:38; 26:18 that through faith in Christ alone our sins are forgiven.
Information obtained through my Logos Bible app, Bible Knowledge Commentary.
@@x96mustanggtxI agree there are multiple verses that state salvation by faith but any good scholar knows you have to look at all the verses of the Bible to get the complete understanding of a topic. One of several verses that show baptism is needed for salvation is Acts 2:38.
“…Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins…”
You have to repent and be baptized to get forgiveness of your sins so the complete picture to being saved is to believe (faith), repent, and be baptized.
Jesus led a perfect life so that we could all be saved, yet he had to be baptized by John the Baptist. Why, Jesus needed to identify with the sinners he would be saving as their messiah and Baptism is a means of identification with the kingdom of God.
Mathew 3:15 BKC (Bible Knowledge Commentary). Jesus’ response to John was that it was fitting for Him to take part in John’s baptism at this time in order to fulfill all righteousness. What did Jesus mean? The Law included no requirements about baptism, so Jesus could not have had in view anything pertaining to Levitical righteousness. But John’s message was a message of repentance, and those experiencing it were looking forward to a coming Messiah who would be righteous and who would bring in righteousness. If Messiah were to provide righteousness for sinners, He must be identified with sinners. It was therefore in the will of God for Him to be baptized by John in order to be identified (the real meaning of the word “baptized”) with sinners.
Louis A. Barbieri Jr., “Matthew,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures, ed. J. F. Walvoord and R. B. Zuck, vol. 2 (Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1985), 25.
and
Matthew 3:15 FSB (Faithlife Study Bible) now The Greek word arti used here means “at once” or “immediately.” John did not want to baptize Jesus, but Jesus wanted him to do so without delay.
to fulfill all righteousness John’s baptism for repentance was a means of identification with the kingdom of God. Although Jesus-the sinless Son of God-had nothing for which to repent, He publicly identified with God’s kingdom through His baptism.
John D. Barry et al., Faithlife Study Bible (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2012, 2016), Mt 3:15.
Through our faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ alone, we receive the holy spirit. Baptism is not a requirement to receive it as it is said in Acts 2:38 if we read it as it is written, which states " 38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (So we need to be baptized to receive the Holy Spirit?) See Ephesians 1:13-14 below.
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Ac 2:37-38.
Ephesians 1:13-14 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
Most importantly to note is the thief on the cross in Luke 23:42-43
Luke 23:42-43 42 And he (The Thief) said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 43 And he (Jesus) said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Lk 23:41-43.
The Thief had 0 chance of being baptized while nailed hand and foot on the cross, but he could surely proclaim Jesus as his Lord and Savior and repent, and that got him into paradise right then and there.
@@x96mustanggtxFirst, the thief didn’t need baptism because he asked Jesus directly for forgiveness. It was a unique moment in time when Jesus was on earth and you could appeal to him personally. Just like the fortunate people who talked to Jesus and asked to be healed and they were instantly healed. Today we have to pray for healing. Secondly, baptism has multiple purposes. Yes, it identifies us as Christians but baptism is also for the forgiveness of sins and it’s when you receive the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38).
Read the second chapter of Acts and it will all come together. It’s the day of Pentecost and Peter is telling the gospel for the first time. Notice what happens after they hear the gospel:
“Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” (Acts 2:37).
Now look at Peter’s response:
“Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2.38).
Now drop down to Acts 2:41
“So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.” (Acts 2:41).
In conclusion, Baptism identifies us as Christians; it’s for the forgiveness of sins; and we receive the Holy Spirit after baptism. It’s not the water that saves but the act of baptism is one of the things God requires to be saved. You have to hear the gospel, believe it, repent and get baptized. Then the Lord adds you to the church.
@@michaelfrancis6436 Lets take a look at a few places after Acts 2:38 where baptism is not mentioned while spreading the Gospel.
Gentiles hear the good news: Acts 10:43 " 43 To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”
(Everyone who believes in him "Jesus" receives forgiveness of sins through "his name") Are they not saved because Peter failed to tell them to get baptized?
Paul and Barnabas at Antioch in Pisidia: Acts 13:39 " 39 and by him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses."
(and by him "Jesus" everyone who believes is freed from everything) no mention of baptism here.
The Philippian Jailer Converted: Acts 16:31 "31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
("Believe" in the Lord Jesus. No mention of baptism here. Did they lie to the Jailer? were he and his family not saved?)
Paul Tells of His Conversion: Acts 26:18 "18 to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’"
(That they may receive "forgiveness of sins" by "faith in me (Jesus)".
Lets take a step back though and see Acts 26:15. Paul says "15 And I said, 'who are you, Lord?' And the Lord said, 'I am Jesus whom you are persecuting." So the Lord Jesus himself says in Acts 26:18 "18 to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive "forgiveness of sins" and a place among those who are sanctified by "faith in me (Jesus)".’ Again, no mention of Baptism here.
First we are given the Gospel, we accept the Gospel and Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior at which point we receive the Holy Spirit and our Salvation (So long as we truly believe, and that is only known by the Lord) conviction of the Holy Spirit in our lives will drive us to produce the fruit of our faith (to be more like Jesus) which may also result in being Baptized.
One last bit of scripture.
By Grace Through Faith: Ephesians 2:8 "8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God," (For by Grace you have been saved through faith) Not faith and baptism.
Why do Christians keep trying to twist words and definitions when it comes to God? Fear means fear. Not awe. Fear god because he's terrible to those who don't believe in him and those who don't worship him.
And what does "created in his image" actually mean?"
Incorrect.
@ISATŌP1 So there are a few issues here. One, that's not what fear means. In no other context is fear and awe the same thing. I will grant it could be confusing because the word "fear" in the biblical sense was yirha or yirah, I can't remember the spelling, but it translates to awe. But in greek, it's translated into fear. So the fear of god would mean to be afraid would be in awe of god, meaning having reverance for. However, yirah is also associated with the feeling of shaking, which is prevalent in having a lot of fear, so I can see how this could be taken either way.
@ISATŌP1 As for your second comment, idk what you are talking about in the slightest. To me, it literally reads like you just typed a bunch of random works together. Could you try elaborating a little more clearly? If you'd like. I appreciate your responses already and that you took the time to engage with me thus far.
@jonathansong855 Thanks for correcting me and setting me straight . I'm moved by your compelling rebuttle. I now see the error of my ways. (I'm being facetious 🤫)
@@etherealblacketernal2889Only Spiritual Discernment is able to see through the Interpolation(adulteration) of the word of God Truth that fills the bible!!
No you can't because there has never been any evidence to prove god is real or true. You'd be better off studying science and reality. belief in the supernatural is degrading and embarrassing. it demeans us all. Good luck.
I am a devout Christian, but I believe what he was saying about the Sabbath is wrong. Actually, it's the only commandment that is prefaced by the word Remember. The word remember was meant to mean forever.
The Sabbath is mentioned several times in the NT.
Also Jesus said in Matthew "Think not that I AM NOT COME TO DESTROY THE LAW, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill" (By "fulfill", I think he was referring to the prophets.).
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, ONE JOT OR TITTLE SHALL IN NO-WISE PASS FROM THE LAW, till all be fulfilled (I believe that refers to his second coming. That's why he stopped reading Isaiah 61:1-2 in the scroll in the synagogue Luke 4:17-19.)
That means that every commandment was still applicable then and now.
Jesus kept the Sabbath every seventh day, as was his custom:
Luke 4:16: "And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as was His custom, He went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and He stood up to read" (Luke 4:17-19).
Jesus preached on the Sabbath: Jesus also taught on the Sabbaths.
Jesus healed on the Sabbath.
Jesus rested in the tomb over the Sabbath after his work of saving man. He resurrected after sundown on Saturday, after the Sabbath. (of course, he was crucified on Wednesday).
And one more point. Man does not have the authority to change God's word. The Sabbath is on Saturday, not Sunday as appointed by man.
I have to respectfully disagree with the part about the Sabbath it actually is in the New Testament and Jesus kept the Sabbath so in the end all be all I’m going to do what Jesus Christ did…he said keep all of my father’s Commandments John 15 and that’s including the fourth one. I think it’s ironic that it is the only commandment that starts with remember.
