Program 2623 ................... - Sin - Love - Religion ..............
Recorded at The University of North Florida - October 2023
Join us in person for a Sunday service at 9:30amET at Grace Community Church located at Grace Farms (365 Lukes Wood Road New Canaan CT, 06840).
The "Give Me An Answer" ministry began as an outgrowth of the dialogues Cliffe Knechtle has had with students on various university campuses throughout the United States. These universities include the University of Maine, Harvard, MIT, University of Florida, University of Texas, University of Wisconsin, University of Minnesota, University of California Los Angeles, University of California San Diego, Berkeley, Stanford, University of Hawaii and the University of Washington. Cliffe spoke on these campuses in front of the Student Union or Library at noon for five to ten minutes. At the close of his initial remarks, he'd open up the time for questions and answers, which usually turned into a two to four hour dialogue with students. His crowd size ranged from 25 - 500 students at a time, and between classes, new students would join the discussion. This is an extremely effective way to reach a large number of university students with the Gospel of Christ.

Though I haven’t been necessarily happy lately. I still recognize and acknowledge the purpose of life and that’s Jesus Christ.
First letter of Peter( I Peter ) may be of some assistance in your moment of trials my friend. Stay strong. Our strength lies with Jesus
PROVERBS 21:31
The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but deliverance 𝘢𝘯𝘥 victory are of the Lord.
I'm praying for the Lord to give you a little jolt to bring you joy. He saved us when we deserved to burn in Hell. He has our backs every day, and he Loves us. So celebrate Jesus and get the devil off your back. Christ is Lord, and he's coming to get us. Can't not be happy when our sins have been washed away.
You don't need to constantly feel happiness nor need anyone to be happy dude get your Life together and in order.
@pdubsyyyy The Bible says you need the spirit of a child… so you’re wrong.
@@justingary5322 that’s misleading to say. Happiness comes and goes but peace is obtainable through Christ. Without Joy, how can we pursue the Lord? Yes, we need pain too but joy is also what comes with it.
I was there at UNF, what a blessing from the Lord to hear him speak ❤️
When was this? It looks like an old video
@@mrhow2712recorded october of 2023. its in the description.
It's December 2023 and Cliffe still rocks. Keep on keeping on Sirs!
True. Just started my journey towards christ and I've been listening to nearly everything from cliff and his son. I love these 2 and they have helped me learn so much.
I love is son too. Their style is very similar but feels completely different. If this was wwf they would win the tag team challenge lol
@@dynasty7298inspiring philosophy is a good channel, Jeff Durban, Dr Turek, there are a lot of great preachers on TH-cam and Rumble. Fun to watch and listen but don’t forget to read your Bible. Discussion is great but the gospel is more important
FACTS 🔥👊
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf he would be drums for sure lol he keeps the pace
Jesus Christ saved my life! I’m never going back. Thank you Cliff for what you do!
I cant imagine going back either. Reminds me of the hymn "I Have Decided to Follow Jesus". No going back, no going back. Though none go with me, still I will follow.
I like how the students are respectful and allow Cliffe to speak. At many campuses today there are students who would shut down talks like these.
@robertmitchell-tv5yf like Men Can be women and vise-versa. And men can get pregnant.
As for shutting down speakers like Cliff, it's not because what he states cannot be proven or has not been proven truth for a minute, it's because it shines a light on the degradation of society. Be it abortion, promiscuity, irresponsible actions, break down of the nuclear family, promotion of single mothers, fatherless children and so on. If his words and that of others like him were baseless, noone would make a Fuse about it and just walk beside him as if he were not there.
The Light bothers those who try to shut him down.
@@robertmitchell-tv5yfGood thing Cliff provides lots of good evidence
Then VS now
@@robertmitchell-tv5yfthe Bible predicted that the Euphrates rivers would dry up if you've looked at the news lately you will see that that's now happening. Keep in mind this book was written 2,000 years ago and ask yourself how that's possible if it's not inspired by God
I cant tell you evidence from Cliffe because I havent watched every Cliffe video or know every thing Cliffe has said, etc. But, I can tell you the evidence for Jesus Christ being God that I know. First, there are many non-christian accounts of Jesus from when he was alive. Those accounts consist of saying his works were sorcery. Second, 500 people saw Jesus Christ resurrect. There are accounts for his resurrection. One being Paul, who murdered Christians not for any gain. Who ended up seeing Jesus rise, and believed in him. and him and so many others were willing to be martyred, persecuted, and even die on their belief on Jesus Christ. Paul literally went from a man killing Christians for no reason, to standing on his belief as a Christian so heavily that he was willing to die. Third, after Jesus died, the only explanation for what happened after is that he rose again. Other than the accounts of him literally raising again, Paul and so many others willing to die for the fact that he rose, but also because his body is no longer in the tomb he was literally buried in. And lastly, the fact that Jesus has four times the amount of accounts, than that of the emperor, Tiberius during the time. Jesus has 40, Tiberius has 10. God bless you, I love you and Jesus loves you more
every time i get a craving to smoke cigarettes i say the lord's prayer and it goes away. even if i get a craving every 3 seconds all i have to do is repeat it until the craving is gone. if you have to go 2 hours on it, do it. god is stronger than our sinful self-sabotaging desires
And what about cakes,cool drinks ,cookies etc. Some people just must not smoke simple,to call it a sin is pathetic.
@@ericscaillet2232 what are the benefits of cigarettes? Do they cause cancer? Is it a sin to damage your body for pleasure?
Yes sugar should also be cut off. It's embarrassing that the government legalized sugar, tobacco, alcohol. Everything that damages your body should be illegal. Cigarettes, weed, whatnot are all sin. If you wouldn't want a kid to smoke, why an adult is fine? Health is the priority, not hedonism
@@black-crossgood job.
@@robertmitchell-tv5yfNo one is forcing you to light up a plant or drink till you can't walk straight
Smoking and alcohol can destroy your internal health
This man will never stop, keep going Cliffe and Stuart.
though i struggle with lust and am probably doomed to be alone for the rest of my life, i still am thankful to God for having mercy on me for my sins and know his judgement on me is just.
Rebuke the lust in Jesus name
You'll find someone, don't worry
It’s wise of you to confess of your struggles with lust for it’s the beginning of the overcoming process. Others will be covering you with mercy. I speak of men as I am one and if it’s any consolation I can tell you that most of us male believers are either freed from lusts of the flesh, or are still trying to be free of them. And as God moves in mysterious ways we therefore cannot predict who will and who won’t be married. But losing the lust of the flesh is the great milestone in this lustful day and age. But we must play our part by abstaining from looking at porn. We have to deny ourself which initially is hard to do but eventually becomes plain sailing. If we play our part God will surely do the rest.
I'm old and never found someone because God hates me
@@tree777tree3 That is a lie from the enemy. You are loved by me and God and many more people. I never met you but I still love you because God loves you and me. God is a loving father and he blessed you with clothes on your back and food to eat. Can't you see the love he has for you. The enemy is a liar, never listen to him you have power over him. Every bad and evil thought is from the enemy. God is love, peace, kindness and just. Don't be discouraged but be strong and read the Bible and you'll see the love he has for you.
I love the Knechtles so much, they're authentic, respectful, and well-informed on what they say.
Not all of the time and I'm a fellow Christian but they're wrong or won't admit when they don't know the answers to certain questions sometimes but I do love them
And even get fired up when people are acting stupid which I love even more, they are human and have no problem admitting that! 🙏❤️👏🏻
Every day's a good day when you've got two scoops of Jesus!
The Lost must be found and the broken must be mended. He who mourns today shall be comforted
Amen all glory to God🙏🏾
Bless you both for shining the light, illuminating Jesus Christ in the education sector, our young generation who will become the future leaders, God bless you Cliffe and son ❤🙏🙌❤
Jesus is so wonderful and good, and there are not enough words to do justice to how awesomely good Jesus is! In this world we get to know more than enough about Jesus to be able to turn to Jesus and be saved by Him if we want, and one thing is certain, Jesus has done the finished work, but we need to receive Jesus as our Lord and Saviour! Jesus said, "I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life, No one comes to the Father but through Me"! ✝ Matthew 3:11 / John 14: 1-12 / Romans 10: 9, 10.
The purpose of life is to honor God (Deuteronomy 6:5/Matthew 22:#7/Mark 12:30/Luke 10:27). He created you, you owe your whole existence to Him (Genesis 1:26/Psalm 139:13); you rebelled against Him (John 3:19) & He STILL died & rose from the dead for you (1 Cor 15). How ungrateful to not worship the One who bent over backwards for your best (Romans 1:18-20). May the triune, infallible, omniscient God bless you with faith in Him, not fallible man’s limited knowledge of theories (Romans 1:22)
Why should we trust your fallible man-theory about God?
This human life is temporary. To be SAVED according to our apostle Paul, you must BELIEVE/TRUST The Gospel of Jesus Christ,1 st Corinthians Chapter 15 verse 1-4.Jesus Christ died on the cross for all of your sins,was buried,and rose again on the third day.Jesus Christ’s Shed Blood is what saves you when you Believe this plan of salvation with your heart.Romans 3:25” Faith in His Blood”.
@@tallevettemueller9834 ,tounges is a written spoken language used to translate The Gospel to foreign speakers other than your language in a time that the Bible was not completed yet. Tounges requires 3 people, The one spreading The Gospel, a translator, and a listener according to scripture, what language were you speaking , English , Spanish, Chinese? Was there a translator there and people receiving The Gospel? This is why tounges ceased, because we have a completed Bible to share the gospel.Also in correct context Acts 2:38 was to Jews and is a work,water saves no one.Our apostle Paul did not start sharing The Gospel of Faith alone to the Gentiles of the church age until Acts 13:38-39 .Ephesians 2:8-9 Rightly Divided for the church age” it is a Gift of God, Not of WORKS lest any man should boast”.According to scripture salvation is nothing we do , but all about what Jesus Christ did on the cross, His Shed Blood ,and we trust in what He did for salvation.You are describing a false faith plus works Gospel , I’m sorry that you have been deceived most of your life , but you still have time to be saved.We don’t trust in feelings for salvation according to scripture, we only have To Believe in what Jesus Christ on the cross, all Him and nothing in what we can do, that’s where your Faith must be for salvation and nothing more.Its All in scripture .
@@tallevettemueller9834 ,pertaining to salvation, we are not under Mark’s Gospel, that is a faith plus works of the apostles.I say all of this in love, you have never been taught how to “Rightly Divide the word of truth”( 2 Timothy 2:15), or dispensations (2 Timothy 2:15, Hebrews 1:1)right?,The only way any human will ever be forgiven or have access to heaven is Through Jesus Christ’s Shed Blood ,Dispensations are ways that God brings different groups of people differently throughout time to that salvation.Ephesians 2:8-9 says it all,also our apostle Paul says to those if us in the church age that we will be Judged according to if we have Believed His Gospel ( 1 st Corinthians Chapter 15 verses 1-4, including Romans 3:25).Until you understand how to Rightly Divide the word of truth and dispensations, the Bible will never make complete sense.Mark was another dispensation under another gospel for Jews.
Cliffe you are truly a role model to me and have helped me grow so much in my faith, I love you , blessing to you and family ❤❤
That story of the French father sacrificing for his son. Wow praise God .
When I started seeing cliff's videos he had 100k followers, nows its up to 225k. Glad to see Christ's message being spread thru cliff's speeches. Truly
I am Catholic and hold true to the faith but I enjoy his talks.
If we love God and His infallible word found in the King James Bible, we no longer need to say any more Hail Marys-but instead let the Bible and the Bible alone be our great teacher.
I came from a Catholic background. A pious mother. Two uncles who were priests. A great uncle who was a priest. And a nun who was my aunt. Yes I agree with you. Cliffe and Stewart are great to watch. Very helpful.
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf Though I am addressing this to you, I am, in actuality, writing to the believers.
God orchestrates the lives of those whom God knows will eventually obey Him. These are not many. They are few, though it’s God’s desire for all to be saved.
And this orchestration happens from the time of birth. This is referred to in the holy scriptures as predestination. And without this orchestration none would be saved. Hence its existence.
And this explains why great sways of people have no interest in God whatsoever. God leaves them to their own devices. And plants them in jungles and cities. They are not guided by God. For God only guides those whom He knows will be obedient and obey Him.
Some unbelievers are puzzled by the belief of the believers. But unbelievers do not believe because God has not given them belief. Nor will they be given belief if they intrinsically lack this capacity to be grateful to God by obeying Him.
And though God arranges the life of those who are yet to obey Him, He does not force them to do so. Instead He brings them to a place where repentance is possible. It’s a choice they make of their own free will.
He did this with Paul the apostle on the road to Damascus. Throwing him off his horse and speaking to him audibly knowing Paul would respond favourably.
And whilst some unbelievers like to point out that many became believers because of external circumstances and influences such as coming from a religious family as it was in my case. This did influence my decision to love and obey God.My background played its part. And without it I might not have become a believer.
But God orchestrated my life this way so that I could obey Him. Because within me, albeit unbeknownst to myself, I had this inherent wherewithal to be obedient to God.
And though there are atheists and agnostics along with those who believe in God’s existence but disobey Him, they are what they are, because God has not chosen them, because of their will to not obey Him. And because of this they have been rejected by God.
However though God knows who is predestined, we do not know until it shows up in the life of a believer. Therefore we give everyone the benefit of the doubt by assuming they all are predestined. Sometimes it’s the least likely as it was with the apostle Paul.
But there will be a time to shake the dust off our feet and move on from those who are steadfast in their unbelief.
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf To the believers.
Though salvation is only possible with predestination , nevertheless there will be those, albeit very few, who through logic, will arrive at conclusions, that turn them into believers. But these believers will also be predestined.
We do know that all those who go to hell will know they could have become believers if only they loved the truth instead of lies.
A vivid example of lovers of lies is well expressed by the flat earth society. Let’s analyse them. These are people who refuse to entertain any logic that opposes their erroneous belief in the flat earth. But why do they buy into it. Here is the answer.
It’s all about power.
And let’s not underestimate power. Because power is delicious.
In this situation they obtain power from feeling important. And they feel important because they feel very special knowing what many others don’t know. Namely that the world is flat, though it’s not flat.
And in order to maintain this special feeling or power, they have the preference for the earth to be flat. They actually want the earth to be flat. The power has seduced them so much that they refuse to recognise they have this preference for the earth to be flat.
And without this recognition they cannot be reasoned with because logic will not prevail.
But the unbelievers in whatever form they manifest in, are also obtaining power. Their power comes from defying God.
In all rebellion there is power. And they have the preference, in order to maintain their power, to justify their rebellion to God. This might be atheism/agnosticism or simply a refusal to obey God.
And as they have either the preference for God to not exist or the refusal to obey Him, they therefore, because of this preference, cannot be reasoned with.
But for those of them who are in actuality lovers of truth instead of lies, that allow themselves to recognise they are being governed by their preferences, will with their newly found lack of bias, eventually extricate themselves from their rebellion.
But it all begins with the recognition of the preference.
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf If you read and studied scripture you would have these answers. In short, Jesus Christ says in Luke 6:
"35But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 36Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. 37Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:" Read this carefully, Christ speaks about a condition of the heart. If you never knew Christ because you are .001% of the population, you could still follow in his footsteps and may be saved. I should also add that the roman catholic church, that i do not support whatsoever, conquered south america and trust me they all know who Christ is.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved
I think that's because, "death is the ultimate thing (no matter what way) that can happen to a person, and blood is what keeps us alive, which we couldn't live without. God bless you Pastor Cliffe and Stuart! With 🙏's and love.
Why does God allow evil? Generally we don't say: When the children do evil why do the parents allow it, normally parents don't allow it, but that doesn't prevent the children from acting in evil!
Without lies and deception atheism dies
Not as catchy. Maybe try "without lies and deception, athiesm dies in it's conception"
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf No
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf ok
Thanks for continuing to do this cliffe! God bless everyone!
Keep on spreading the Good News and may God bless you and ministry
I have a question? Is it ok with you guys if i make a clip of this video? And post it. But obviouly mentioning you guys? If not i wont do it, its okay.
The Word says we are to rid ourselves of iniquity. We have to “Work Out Our Salvation With Fear and Trembling.” In other words, With God’s help and our dedication to live a holy life, we are to work on getting rid of the things that beset us. You smoke? Work on stopping. You watch porn? Work on stopping, etc. Is it easy? NOPE. You can’t do it on your own because the flesh craves what is evil. But with God’s Holy Spirit, the Word, and accountability, you will eventually see change. Will you slip up and sin again? Yes. But it becomes less frequent. To God be the glory.
😂 cliffs just in the background taking pics with students. Great guy
Yeah 👍
AMEN 🙏👊❤️. It's good in December 2023 to see the Knechtle family preaching while people are still chill and respectful even if they disagree at times. As humans we're limited by our physiology and temporal reality but God isn't limited by anything but Himself if The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob exists. Imagine not believing in a Creator in 2023. SILLY ATHEISTS TRIX ARE FOR KIDS 🤣. I love brothers Cliffe and Stuart Knechtle's Apologetics ministry and I'm glad you all enjoy their studies of biblical history and Christianity. It's obviously not the burden of proof for believers but God Himself to meet the burden of proof which He has for us Christian theists despite what Atheists claim are just unsupported claims. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " On The Origin of Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology but I accept micro Evolution such as speciation and adaptation because there's no evidence of macro Evolutionary biology nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
I'm not in college or anything like that but I absolutely love cliffe and Stuart and wish they would preach in my area
Wow, this was amazing from Cliffe and Stewart. Thank You!
Cliff you are a legend bud. Thank you for all that you do. God is amazing.
Teachers of Christ,I am Proud of you guys 👍 good work for the GREAT FUTURE that awaits us ALL.... THE MOMENT OF TRUTH
When I was a new Christian many years ago I went to see a visiting American preacher in Auckland New Zealand.
And when he got up to speak this is what he said.
“ The purpose of this life is to make sure we get everlasting life. “
And after he said these words he sat down. That was the entirety of his message.
I have never forgotten what he said. Yes we were disappointed by its brevity but we never forgot it.
Profound!
@@thomgrlisdebra glad you approve
@@thomgrlisdebra It’s no Shakespeare, just a guy trying to tell a story.
God created logic itself so how can he not make a square circle logical?
I guess the same way god says it’s wrong to permit child
R a p e unless you’re god
That's just abstract thinking. It's like saying why an octagon can't be a pentagon. It can't because it's specific to number of sides. That gives 'Meaning' to its purpose. A 'squircle' wont have a definite meaning considering its shape, though we can definitely play around with shapes as a form of abstract art. But it's logical application will create confusion considering we grow up with definite and absolute knowledge of shapes. Some things are better when they're left to be simple and the way they are.
@@atharv-gautam
Wrong…
Good is good
Not good is not good
By definition
An octagon is not a pentagon because they are completely different shapes.
You can not say I draw octagons because I’m the ultimate good and Command people to draw Pentagrams and call pentagrams the ultimate good
It’s utterly illogical
Something is good or not good
You’re just equivocating on the meaning of good
Good for God Means something completely different then what good means for humans and that sir is equivocation
That doesn’t make sense
God cannot change His nature. While I don't agree with the portrayal of God in the Bible or other religious texts as I believe He is far more loving and logical, God did not "create" logic, it is a part of Him and His nature and therefore it cannot be changed. The evidence for that is in the fact that logic transcends time, space and matter. It is not dependent on the human mind as it still exists whether there is a human mind to discover and access it or not.
I mean yeah
18:19 look how loving sir cliffe is with others❤
Analogy... when a person creates or buys something, for example, a CHAIR, it must serve the person who created or bought the Chair the purpose of SITTING on it...if the Chair is broken and loses the purpose to sit on, then, what good is that to the one who created the Chair?... NONE... either fix it or throw it on the dumpsite.
The same analogy... God created Mankind to LIVE by serving the Living God/YHWH with their purpose of DOING the WILL (Prerogatives) of the creator/maker (God)... When you lose your purpose by staying away from God and not doing God's Will, what good are you to your maker/creator... NONE... you are just a piece of JUNK, a useless person in God's Sight... either you come back to God as a PRODICAL SON, or be thrown in the Eternal Condemnation of Fire (Suffering) in Hell...
"What good is the SALT if it loses its' SALTINESS? ...no longer good for anything, neither for flavoring nor for preserving, except to be thrown." (ref. Matt. 5:13-14).
Take Note:... The Make/Creator (God) has ALL the RIGHT, POWER, and AUTHORITY to do ALL that PLEASES Him (God)...
Facts and Truth of the Matter, Biblically and Logically speaking... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen.

@@robertmitchell-tv5yf well said! …thank the Lord he cleans us when we seek him.
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf I guess I was the chief of the sin of the lust of the flesh. And it took years to be free of it. Too many years. But perhaps if I knew how wonderful it is to be without it, I would have been free of it sooner. It’s the grace of God that eventually takes it away. But in my case I have also benefited from understanding women in a way I didn’t previously understand. I thought they were like men thinking they were also desirous of being fornicators. But when I realised that in actuality they were only accomodating men’s desires, it changed my attitude towards them in a most beneficial way. If we allow ourselves to appraise women correctly, by recognising that whilst we are equals, nevertheless they are weaker-this realisation prevents us from needing to feel important by debasing them with fornication. Hence lustful desires subside.
Cliffe and Stuart Rock!
God is all powerful and I’m glad that he blessed you to be a speaker of his word
Praise the Lord for the ministry that Jesus gave to Cliffe ❤
I live in Jacksonville. Have from friends at UNF I wish I knew they came, would’ve gone
Job was put through tribulation, that is part of this life. It isn’t a correlation that people rejected God at some previous point. This life has a purpose and part of it is to overcome the opposition of tribulation and find joy from hope in a just future, patience, and trust that things can be made right even if their is some fault and obscuring now of God’s perfection. To have faith in God is to trust what God says is true and part of what God says to us is to “be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”
I also struggle in my thought life. The bible says Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. (James 4:7-8). Eventually that demon that is hounding you with these thoughts will know that you will NOT have ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT! (I say to my self and sometimes out loud when i have a nasty or perverse thought. "I rebuke that thought in Jesus name, " or "I rebuke you satan and i plead the blood over that thought in Jesus name."
The battle begins in our minds and we have to squash those devils fast in Jesus name! Lusting after women is when you just not look at them and think they are beautiful and that is fine, it is when you go into your mind and imagine you and them in sexual positions, That is when it becomes sin. I used to masterbate and watch pornagraphy and those demons come back and they try to get back in, but I WILL RESIST THEM THE REST OF MY LIFE in JESUS NAME.!!!
Surely the you will be victorious. You’re onto it. Keep up the good fight.

God sure can overpower our “free will.” Man is not stronger than God. If you think that your “free will” can thwart God’s plans than you are a fool.

Why a blood sacrifice? Because life is in the blood.
Exactly 💯
Young people need this kind of conversation about JESUS.
Brothers and sisters in Christ please pray for a young man who was shot in the head for preaching the gospel in Glendale Arizona. He's fighting for his life. He has a family as well! Thank you!
In Jesus name be well 🙏🫶🥰🙌🔥🌟🐐👑
hey cliffe, i was just arguing a muslim guy and he told me this: Show me where it says the father and the holy spirit the son are coequal eternal... how am i supposed to answer to this?
Just refer to Genesis 1
or John 1:1
Just show them The Gospels especially The Gospel of John
Both scriptures are correct. But there's plenty of others in the Bible as well. But those are 2 really good ones.
Matthew 28:18-20
I think God allows us to go through things because through pain there is growth through struggle there is maturity. If he automatically took these things away from us we wouldn't have the process of growing and becoming Stronger by working our way through them and the Holy Spirit is there to hold our hand and guide us the whole way.
We must also remember the Bible says a man of faith will fall down seven times and get back up several times.
How can we be tested if God saves us from the test?
God bless you
Cliff i have learned lots of things from you, you really helped me keep it up man 💯
I love what you all do keep preaching the real gospel ❤
If you make your own purpose, you've just set goals. If those goals are your purpose then wasn't it your purpose to invent goals? So you DO have a purpose. But why that one and not another?
Why would you care about a purpose that you don't want? And if you want your purpose, why do you need the purpose at all? Why not just do what you want?
@@spooky6902 I know this is part of your limited schtik but it's stupid.
Whether you care about your purpose or not is irrelevant. Thus, your question about why you SHOULD care... is irrelevant.
Your hatred of Christians makes you say reality silly things. I recommend growing up. But you won't because.... why should you care about growing up?
See how stupid that sounds?
@@saintpaulofyoutube4416 Exactly 💯
@@spooky6902if we just do what we want we would not know the whole picture of right and wrong cause we are slaves to our own sinful nature thats why 1st Corinthians says chpt 6 says not everything is good for you cause the things in this world is full of craving and pleasure that is not good for us thats why God wants us to trust him for he knows whats right and wrong and wants our bodies to honor him not for our own sinful pleasures
@@thomasfuentes2913 My point is that if there is a purpose worth caring about, then we would want to live that way whether it was our purpose or not.
If living in a certain way is good for us for reasons, then why do you need the purpose? Just do it for the reasons that it's good.

I'm not sure how "women of color" can be the highest Christian demographic, while at the same time be the highest demographic supporting abortion. Cliffe...you might want to re-examine that argument. Forgetting about the "demographic" argument, I'm starting to believe in what Michael Pearl says...which is that most "christians" really are not Christian.
truth
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf
You're right, but you're not right, I'm using my say that is a lot of Christians, which the Bible explains are going to be in lukewarm or not, really understand the truth of what Christ is expecting from them out of love and so therefore, they will be deeply fooled by satan in the end times which are creeping up so Robert. In a sense, you are right, they will not be able to live it out to do 1 of 2 things, one though crumble under pressure or two, don't give in to the Beast system, which will be happening and either 1 is not good. Good statement, Robert, you're right.
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf I think Cliffe was referring to people that claim to be atheist. Nonetheless, I don't agree with Cliffe regarding his assertions on demographics. I also don't like the way he will target a black person in the crowd and then talk about white racism. Just unnecessary and uncomfortable.
Cliffe and his son are really good at what they do and I wish I had the same talent and skill, but in this particular area I disagree.

what are the questions
Awesome! We serve a Great GOD!
Why blood? Because the soul is in the blood. In the OT when people hat to atone for sin the had to sacrifice an animal.... animals do have pure souls, but were created as less than humans. That's why the sacrifices could never be enough and didn't last. So Jesus became God in flesh with a huge difference... his soul...his blood is God HOLY. His blood then was the final ultimate sacrifice. That's why blood... the soul is in the blood.
Have you ever lied, stolen, used God's name in vain, looked wuth lust? if so you need to repent today and Believe in Jesus Christ to save you from Hell and go to heaven instead
Have you ever _directly observed_ a 'soul'?
Been to UNF? Now come to JU! I love your videos
Cosmic treason. Brilliant.
been depressed lately please pray for me
The purpose of life is to recognize GOD..
We as human being and both physically and spiritual
We are beings that are given the power to give everything meaning
We as human beings are purpose givers, we give everything purpose
How do you know that?
@@jasonnoble7302 The only evidence i can give you is for you to “Look at Life)”
Apart from that, the only other evidence i can give, I don’t want anyone to ever go through it..
It’s Anxiety and Depression.
I smoked weed less that 5 times in my life
And on the last time, i saw things and experienced things I spiritually couldn’t handle.
But in that moment when i felt like i had no purpose, when it felt like suicide was the best option even though i was scared I would’ve done it, i realised that things mustn’t be this way and that i can change it..
From the beginning of my decline, i was scared and always in prayers up until the end i am still im prayers. I self healed from anxiety and depression
Of course it wasn’t alone
I had my family and friends around and most importantly, GOD.
I say i self healed because
I only took 1 pill from the dozen antidepressants pills i was given and after the negative feeling it gave me, I burned the rest.
The rest of the healing was all me and my God…
It was my toughest year and my toughest journey.. i went through every withdrawal symptom even though it was just 1 pill i took. That is my point here
The fact that i gave it so much purpose that after 1 pill, i went through everything i saw people would go through after quitting drugs cold turkey..
If i wasn’t a purpose giver, i wouldn’t have given all of it that much meaning and would probably have no thoughts or effect towards any of it.
One other thing i can tell you is
When you experience depersonalisation/derealisation, you begin to understand that this life is not yours, it’s God’s life..
He gave it to you, it doesn’t belong to you.
He created you, it wasn’t by your power..
So why go against your creator, be humble, the same way you all want AI to be humble lmao.
Just serve HIM!!!🙇🏾♂️🙇🏾♂️
One way is to look at individual passages that show them each as Deity. For Jesus, look at John 1, Colossians 1, and Hebrews 1, and you find that nothing was created without Jesus.
You can also look a Philippians 2:5 - 11.
For the Holy Spirit, you see that He was mentioned in Genesis 1:2, at creation. And look at Isaiah 11:2.
So, Jesus is called the Word. So, how can someone be separated from their Word, and Spirit.
Also, people are to be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. One Being, in Three Persons.
There are many more verses, this is just a start. You can research the Deity of Christ. An articles from Moody was helpful, when I was looking into it.

Hi sir i am a Christian from india here we face aa lot of issues regarding caste system which made lower caste people life a mess since decades why did God allowed it and my ancestors die without any reason just by taking birth in lower caste ... Do they do to hell ??
We have to go with the hand God has dealt us and by never complaining to God about those things which are not to our liking we can more easily endure our lot.
God never created caste or prejudice. It is a creation of man. God has given man thinking abilities to know what is right or wrong. It is consciousness. He allowed it because he respects our free will, be it right or wrong. That's why it is our responsibility to make right decisions and love others like we love ourselves as Jesus said. The people who created caste don't have God with them. That's why there religion is still suffering and the people along with it. We cannot blame everything on God for all of the mess we have created ourselves. And regarding they being in hell or not. The Bible makes it clear. Anyone dying without faith in Christ is subject to judgement according to his own deeds. We must accept the truth in it's truest form and not manipulate it according to our liking.
Aside from the great answers above, I'd add this perspective.
When a person asks why God didn't prevent a certain evil, they are drawing an arbitrary line between the evil THEY do and the evil others do.
You'd need to wrestle with where God becomes obligated to us.
That's a hard line to draw , in my view.
thank you Cliffe
Jesus said his house would be a house of prayer be aware that he is there lol 😂 wondering where ??? The Catholic Church don’t leave the church because of Judas show loyalty to Jesus we need the bread like he say be well, then be lead. You can’t love what you do not know. lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What video is this from
I'm sure this is the last thing people are looking at but the motion in these videos are blurry. This is either due to the shutter speed being too slow and/or the fact it was rendered for old TV formats (via interlacing or certain codecs). There's a few programs that can fix both issues, some even baked into mainstream software.
I disagree with you cliff. I’ve struggled with the same thing that first man did. I fasted. I prayed and was desperately seeking help from my Father who I KNEW WAS all powerful and COULD
shield me from those thoughts coming into my mind involuntarily. And He saved me and has shielded my mind since.
GOOD QUESTION BRO WHY WITH THE BLOOD MY LORD .. I love my LORD AND I LOVE THE TEACHING OF THE SHOW…. someone needed an answer about why god use blood to fix people thing …. watching it chill smoking a bong took me a while maybe do I use his blood because the way what we did to God son on the cross….. it’s really messed up. I really don’t like the idea that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our stupidity. it angers me just to know that Jesus died on the cross our father it’s not right, but those words that I’m saying right now a father told me the reason why you hate those words is cause a demon is telling you to hate those words, because what God did for you, doesn’t matter that you don’t like it our father
Every part of a human being is Gift from God, and you MUST NOT use that gift to disobey (sin against) HIM! Choosing to disobey HIM is making a choice to join The Devil in HELL!!! Matthew 25:41
THE PURPOSE OF LIFE
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. (1 Corinthians 9:24-27 ESV)
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3:1-4 ESV)
Why does God demands blood as a payment for sin? When one choses sins, he is separated from God. When one is separated from God, who is the source of all life, the one and only consequence is death, first spiritual death and slowly but surely, physical death and ultimately, eternal death separated from the Creator God forever.
For the wages of sin is death, says the Holy Scriptures. Why the requirement for blood then?
Lev 17:11
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’
Heb 9:22
And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.
In blood is life. Blood is therefore required to bring life and to defeat death. That's why the shedding of the Holy blood of Christ on the Cross was required for the forgiveness of all our sin and to defeat death once and for all. Jesus came to give life and life in all its fulness. Now, we as with the Apostle Paul can boldly declare:
1Cor. 15:55
“O Death, where is your sting?
O Hades, where is your victory?”
Further:
"In as much then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage." - Heb. 2:14-15
AMEN! TO GOD BE THE GLORY THROUGH CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR. THANK YOU JESUS 😊.
I would add. You first have to ask people what they mean by the word Evolution.. As it's a slippery word. Do they mean as that used in Genetics or The first living cell. As Mendelian Genetics is not Evolution. While Neo Darwinism says life come from Non organic materials found in the Universe. It's never been Repeated or Observed.
God is obsessed with blood because it’s a cleansing agent. That’s literally what it’s doing in your system right now. “The life of the flesh is in the blood.” Study out that verse (in Lev 17:11). The only reason you have life right now is because of the blood running in your veins. It’s a purifier. Jesus shed His blood to cleanse you from sin. It is the ultimate purifier for humanity. I asked God this very question one day and He revealed the answer. I said, “God, why are you obsessed with blood?” This runs deeper y’all. Study it! ❤😊
Suffer the children who come unto me...that statement to me says....we will suffer...it's part of life... Jesus related to the suffering as a man. He experienced way more than we ever will...for our sake...that's love!
To play Harry Potter Magic the Gathering like you all day?
Why does God demand a blood sacrifice for sin? Actually God requires the life for sin, and the life is in the blood, so the blood represents the life, but ultimately the life of the sinner is required. Why? Justice. God's law represents the perfect, selfless Divine Character wrought out in obedience. If one contravenes that law, it is called 'iniquity', or 'un-equity'. This transgression can never be undone, even by perfect future obedience, so perfect justice demands the life of the sinner, because only when the sinner is dead are the claims of the law nullified, he is 'dead to the law'. But how does Christ's substitution pay for this debt on the sinners behalf? For this we have to understand the concept of sonship to God. Paul says that "as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God". The Spirit conforms the heart, mind and will to the perfect law of liberty, and thus one is called begotten of God, more specifically, begotten in the image of Christ, who first wrought out the Divine Character in obedience. The unfallen sons of God are in perfect harmony with Him, and have never transgressed, but we must be reborn in that perfect image of Christ, wherefore He condescended to reform the character of man in the Divine image in His life on earth, beset with like temptations yet without sin, and forever sealed this Character with His death. When we repent and are baptized in the likeness of His death, we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, who begins the work of transforming us into the image of Christ, a new Spiritual man, a sinless son of God. It is then that we who were formerly "dead in trespass and sin" are "made alive in Christ", and "dead to the law" and "covered by the blood". We are saved by Grace, and through faith, yet we are not yet wholly redeemed for we are now two men, the old man of the flesh condemned to death, and a new inner man who cannot sin. Now we must daily choose which one we shall be, and Christ alone, through the power of the Holy Spirit, is able to "succor" us until the "redemption of the body" also at the last day.
Shedding of blood is the ultimate sacrifice. Ables' blood was the first Shed and many others over the generations. So now, in order to balance out the price of the Shedding of Blood, the ultimate sacrifice hast to be made from a perfectly pure vessel. That's why the Lord Jesus price was the final sacrifice.
How did you determine the first blood shed was this Able's?
Jesus killed himself for our sins or just because God ordered him too?
@jasonnoble7302 Both. Shedding of His blood would be the only sacrifice God the father would except, and the Lord Jesus was willing to do it for our salvation. Otherwise, we couldn't receive redemption.
@@kh2140

S u I c I d e because God ordered him too ?
@jasonnoble7302 No. He allowed the leaders of the church at that time to execute or crucify him for proclaiming the truth that He is the Son of God. Accused of blasphemy.
