- Cliffe Knechtle has a good dialogue with students at Northern Illinois University. Recorded in October 2012.
The "Give Me An Answer" ministry began as an outgrowth of the dialogues Cliffe Knechtle has had with students on various university campuses throughout the United States. These universities include the University of Maine, Harvard, MIT, University of Florida, University of Texas, University of Wisconsin, University of Minnesota, University of California Los Angeles, University of California San Diego, Berkeley, Stanford, University of Hawaii and the University of Washington. Cliffe spoke on these campuses in front of the Student Union or Library at noon for five to ten minutes. At the close of his initial remarks, he'd open up the time for questions and answers, which usually turned into a two to four hour dialogue with students. His crowd size ranged from 25 - 500 students at a time, and between classes, new students would join the discussion. This was an extremely effective way to reach a large number of university students with the Gospel of Christ.
I could listen to Cliff all day long.
I sometimes literally do
@@Zubbee truer words have never been spoken haha
I try but it never plays on repeat I should find a way to put them into one 15 hour video about a day of daytime
Same I’ve literally been binging him everyday for weeks. I love hearing him answer peoples questions.
Cliffe has some strong patience game
+Might Gai Yes Gai Sensei
Big facts gai of eight gates now
YES he does!!!
Yes sir 💯
Man I'd be getting annoyed with his foolish reasoning.
Arrogant people who are aware of their arrogance don't really bother me much at all. But people who are arrogant who regard themselves as not arrogant, now THAT gets under my skin. Cliffe has some impressive patience.
I think that what rubs me the worst, there are people who have questions and you can see they are humble and then there’s others who’s wisdom fails in front of their eyes. Cliffe is a man of God, his patience and his mind is outstanding and a blessing to him and us
Life does not come from non life anymore than intelligence comes from non intelligence or emotions from non emotions etc.
Thanks Cliff for your insights
I literally LOL'd when the big guy said that chance is a "miracle!" But then says that a miracle doesn't require a miracle worker.
Talk about the epitome of blind faith!
Great message about forgiveness. Those words talked deeply with. Thank you Lord for prepare a preacher like the Pastor Cliffe.
so happy i found Cliff, this guy is schooling these kids!
Cliffe is a spiritual rocket launcher!!!! Love this guy! Most people do not have the capacity or knowledge to speak or defend like this guy Cliffe! Great job!
Who Cliffe? Wrong. Just wrong. A con man is Obama, Hillary, Bush etc.
Might want to re-think that one. Science/NASA is an evil fraudulent force in this day and age. Research this for your own benefit. Trust me on this!
I love how cliffe gets so worked up about questions he knows very clearly!
The message at the end was amazing. Latterly gave me chills.
Without God, nobody could be in the right place at the right time, and yet we are.
Okay...that’s good. Okay if I use it?👍🏾👴🏿
@@leemontgomery7914 Yes.
Stop already
"I put my faith in humanity" Worst line ever.
Dude when people say that it makes me cringe because everyone sins! We are not perfect angels with absolutely no blemishes to our mind body and soul. Humanity can be extremely scary sometimes.
Outstanding Cliffs! God bless your Ministry. 🙏
Thank you for posting this, it's good to see people talking to each other and discuss differences.
Thank You Cliffe for opening the minds of young people! (And old!)
I think this young man won’t be able to sleep tonight after your view point…. Now let the Holy Spirit work on him has he reads through the gospels!!
The patience is strong with this one 🤯
Wow Cliffe 👏🏼
Also.. the silence 19:13🤯
You can sense the moment when people stop and really start to think, it starts to make sense then it snaps back. Many times they go back to denying the truth because the truth would make them care, they’d have to wake up, they would have to admit every time they were wrong and every guilt they have rationalized and that is just too scary for them
Anyone who is lost or contemplating life, PLEASE watch the last 10 mins of this video, WHAT a lesson for life, THANK you so much cliffe, ❤️👍 x
The blingy dude sounds like Pontius Pilate: "What is Truth?..."
Lol
I believe your reward shall be great in heaven Mr Cliffe.
May GOD bless, guide,and protect His church/sheep/children until we meet Him. God always bless Peace be with you always!!
Creation testifies of a Creator, so we are without excuse about God's existence. Many followed Jesus because of His miracles, then abandoned Him at the cross. Evidence is not the issue, but submission is the issue.
*****
I am skeptical of most so called miracles, but God can do as He chooses.
*****
I like evidence too, and I cannot find scientific evidence for the origin of life or the first cause of the universe. Both of which appear to be designed,, and the odds of randoms pass impossible. It is more reasonable to have a Creator, than random unguided processes.
*****
Your question of the eternal existence of God is not new. All things that were created do indeed call for a creator, but God is not a created being. Time, space, and matter came into existence along with the natural laws at the same time, so the Creator cannot be bound by any time, space, matter, or any of the natural laws.
Our universe had a beginning and will have an end, but God will continue to exist. He is the Beginning and the End. Nothing can exist apart from Him. He is Spirit and Truth.
*****
I make claims that we get from science by using logic. For God to be a created being, He would be have to be material. God is Spirit, Truth, and would have to be Immaterial.
I am using basic logic. Either God exists or He does not exists. We cannot have both, because of the law of non contradiction in logic. I cannot prove that God exists, but I also cannot prove that you exists. This could be an experiment.
I take what I am given, then form the most reasonable conclusions.
*****
Logic, math, and love are immaterial but we also know that they are real. When we look at a person from quantum physics, we are very much like pixels, molecules in motion. We have a brain, but we also have a mind, and a conscience. We have been spending much time on a person's gender, sexual orientation, and even race, but none of this should matter. We are all human, and these differences exist in the mind.
There is no doubt that God exists in the hearts and minds of people, but we still see the evidence of His creation.
I would have lost it long time ago. Cliff is a pro!
Cliffe has strong patience.. And its that kind of patience that tells me I'm watching a brother in christ :) God bless him and his ministry.. Glory to God
that first guy - seriously deluded.
Your patience is amazing Cliffe...I hope his mind and eyes are unveiled someday. God bless you
Incredible patience. I’m learning how to handle people like this by these videos. Appreciate you Cliffe.
"I have studied Philosophy" that's your first clue he has no clue of what he is talking about
Ya the other one you hear is “I read the Bible front to back.” But then they cant quote a single verse.
I just wanna say you have helped me a lot on my walk and the prayers for wisdom you pray for God has answered ❤️
24:02 " thats not forgiveness thats amnesia😂😂 thats funny but seriously God bless ya cliffe you inspire me alot
Gently, Cliffe. Gently...
I really hope that college kid opened his mind a little bit after this.
+Todd Johnson I don't know! He has a huge stumbling block to get past first. Some people have a wall put up and who or what puts up that wall? Guess who that would be?
***** Well then, I wish you well sir. Happy for you that you know the truth.
Man does not know shit! The intelligence in a man is foolishness in God's eyes. Don't let the lie of science cloud the knowledge of God that created all.
***** Go on living in dreamland, if you think most Christians believe in evolution. Give me a break! I'm done. Have a good day.
Without God, there could be no truth, and yet there is.
very anointed. this was great
First guy thought he was cool and tough coming up and trying to prove Cliffe wrong...
Yeah it was really embarrassing for him and his lady friend. Just look at their faces after!
jARRAD It was a good argument between both, but Cliffe is a fucking idiot. Religion and deities were a justification of how things work..... WAY back then. Now we have science to actually study how everything truly works and it has very promising results. Religion is still around because mommy, daddy, grandma, grandpa, etc.. filled their children's innocent, defenseless heads with the old beliefs of how the universe came to be and then those children pass it down from there. I respect people with religion. I have no problem with them believing what they believe. I don't argue with or insult them. Unless they do this street preaching stuff and try to force their opinions onto others. Just have your Richard Dawkins-damned religions to yourselves and be done with it. It was Cliffe who started this, not the other way around. And the student he debated with had VERY good points that burned down Cliffe's points.
jmrbug 96 I do admit, Cliffe had better arguments than most Christian people. It was a great debate. But he probably should've gone to NIU himself because his "Logic and wisdom" is pretty backwards.
jmrbug 96 First off, Cliffe is one intelligent man. Science cannot explain everything, you know. God is intangible so He cannot be explained by Science nor can he be proved or disproved.
Cliffe is not about forcing his own opinion on anyone, he doesn't asking anyone to become a Christian or go to church.
It's a little insensitive of you to call Cliffe "a fucking idiot" because he "preaches in the street forcing his own opinion onto others".
Lol he shouldn't be on the campus in the first place if he isn't trying to start trouble my friend. Sure science can't prove everything YET. But we get more and more answers everyday. It's time to let go of the 'Assumptions' of how we all came to be form the ancient days and turn to science which has PROOF. I guess we can both agree that Cliffe has his shit down. Like I said, he is the only Christian I have seen so far to put up a good argument. But he has never looked at both sides like we Atheists do. If he has, he wouldn't be going to a campus and starting a ruckus. That's the only reason a street preacher can be there. Why would someone assume Christianity is the correct religion? Why not Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Janeism, or Taoism? No matter what religion you are in, it will always "Make sense" because that's all you listen to. Did you know 90% of Jesus's stories are copied from the Egyptian god Horace? I bet Cliffe doesn't know that either.
at last i been waiting for the next upload! Give me an answer is like medicine for my body... helps me get through another day... gives me strength and encourages me to keep going in my walk
This is one of the real comeback exchanges that cliff has with a student. Really gets you thinking!
Thank you brother and praise the Lord
Cliffe really had tough time with this smart :'students" May God give you more wisdom Cliffe. In Jesus name Amen.
I didn't think so. He handled them well
The kid in the black T-shirt and dark sunglasses is shifting back and forth nervously on his feet.
That behavior is a clear example of the body language of someone that knows he's lying
and has been publicly exposed as a liar.
The big guy really makes good point. And I think his points are to an extent valid. In the end, it comes down to whether you believe the evidence stacks up and whether you stick to your level of enough evidence. To the preacher's point however, if you do not commit to anything, you fall for everything and I think that is exactly the big guys challenge and probably where he will be on his way to. In the post modernist society, that is indeed the problem. Shifting values. Like the waves in a pond, open to the ever shifting winds of change. Must congratulate both though on a very civil discussion. Thanks guys.
CLIFF ON FIRE 🔥 IN THAT INTRO… powerful💥
Much knowledge!!
He may be chunky but his intellectual gymnastics is second to none!!
☠
😂😂
The odds of everything creating itself is nothing like the offs of not being hit by a car.
You could see the tide turning in the young man’s mind.
Dadgum Cliffe your patience is pure gold brother..LOL
That first loudmouth guy, what a shut down you did on him! Great work Cliffe!!
I was tempted to see him as a miserable, denial man. But now, 8 years later, I pitty him blinded and lost man.
He said cliffe was jumping from topic to topic but in all reality he was giving him analogies and examples of his flawed Logic…. And he didn’t like that so he wrote it off as cliffe jumping from topic to topic😂
Go Cliffe!
Cliff you are Rock 👍👍
This student is totally confused.
Books in use deteriorate, because they are being shared and meticulous scribes re-write or transfer the documents. They didn't have digital media back then but they did have skilled and dedicated people on the job.
I love you cliff forever.
Most of these kids are full of self righteous Pride
True words!
First kid: I want the physical evidence.
Cliffe: gives the evidence.
First kid:
This channel should be called *AskTheLegend*
"There's a lot more to reality than matter and energy"
True apologetic
My alma mater. Mad I left in 2010. I would’ve been on the other side at that time 😂
Cliff you are my favorite apologist.
Planets and universes, no proof of any if that, and i love everyone but that logic lost me when we went to that argument. Cliff is one of a kind, God is smiling and loving his patience.
I to look forward to each new episode, great stuff, I hope cliff would come over to the UK, one thing I miss is the hit song "Give me an answer" with that 80's style of music lol
There is absolutely no evidence that any of the Gospels supposedly "copied" from any other.
The heavy set guy was entertaining to watch.
Anyone else remember being an arrogant know it all atheist in college😂
Lol I wasn't but your comment made me laugh so I gave it a thumbs up.
God is not your servant -- you are his servant. It your responsibility to provide evidence to God,
not his responsibility to provide evidence to you.
These epic anime intros just keep getting better and better omg
This guy thinks cliff is bouncing around, but he’s had a come back for every question and after the guy is not getting it, then cliff goes to other things
Yes I see your point, although this wasn't just a 20 minute bit for them. I thought Cliffe stayed for hours talking to students and there were the highlights. Anyways, my point was more that Cliffe didn't successfully refute anything the other man said, as the other person I was replying to seems to believe, considering some of his comments.
Please come to Texas Tech University. I'd love to have you there for apologetics for the expressed purpose of the Gospel.
Did any one else notice the guy talking to a brick wall in the background? lol
500 people did not say they saw him.1 person said that 500 people saw him.
the phrase goottteem is in clear display @ 19:16
Nice!!!!
The guy standing next to the fat guy is thinking “man, I need to get a new friend!”
We all do in varying degrees😆
I no longer watch TV during my free time.
The camera wove Cliffe's shirt hookaaaay
The preachers best argument is to belittle and attack the big guy. The preacher has faith in himself as well. He trust his own brain and it says to believe the Bible. The big guy was rational. The preacher was arguing from emotion. Why was the preacher so taunting? It’s like he really didn’t believe what he was saying and had to convince others to convince himself.
Without God, there could be no "good, strong" ideas, and yet there are.
so good
Without God, there could be no objective morality, and yet there is.
Funny how most unbelievers just happen to wear black with skulls on the shirt.
Smorgasbord!!😁 Funny how the Americans use a Swedish word like that! They also borrow from us Norwegians. Ski is a Norwegian word and Husband is an old Swedish/ Norwegian word. As for Cliffe: He's a solid defender of the Christian faith but unless you subscribe to that particular doctrine, it's not worth a lot.
Cliffe is right ..people don't want to believe in Christ. They want to do what they want to do, and not what God needs them to do.
COME TO UBC CLIFFE!
Guy: I put my trust in humanity
Really?? Have you heard about wars??
Look its a new WWE superstar
The Big Lostman
my biggest question is how can he say that the gospels were written 20 years after the fact of Jesus' ascension.. when we do not have the original manuscripts. if our closest evidence is 20 years then he should say "the closest evidence we have is 20 years"
can someone plese respond to this with some clarification? thank you!
You need your own TV show ASAP!
Dude looks 40yrs old. Graduate already. Just hedge your bet buddy and believe in Christ. It’s a win-win.
sorry I was a bit general but it happens a lot. Im talking about the first guy btw
Cliffe puts big boy in his place and instead of refuting his argument he accuses him of flip flopping
At least he is searching and questioning.
Yeah i comment on his latest videos hoping for a discussion, but i really just want him to come to my school
First dude is as mature as a grape
Anyone know what this man’s jewelry choice is? Lol
Revelation 22:1 NIV
[1] Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb
Actually, that piece from 1 Corinthians 15 is dated within 5 years of the crucifixion by many scholars, and some claim it could have been as early as 1 year.
3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
Assuming that the historical Resurrection accounts could somehow not be true simply because they weren't written down for 20 years commits the classic logical fallacy known as "Argument from Silence," and logical fallacies like that do not hold any credibility.
“It had to happen because it had to happen” but no luck though.
Awesome message at the end. I feel sorry for the guy in the video. His comments and objections are becoming all too common among "new atheists". It's frustrating when I know more about the great Atheistic philosophers of history than they do. I wish Atheists would be consistent.
