Cliffe Knechtle has a great conversation with college students at a campus in the southwest US. Recorded Nov. 2019
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.

It’s sad to see that no ones throwing out any “amen”s, I’d have been out there gassing Cliffe up. Gods grace be upon him.
Why should anyone. It's sad that ppl still believe this kind of stuff and actually still think this way
@@heathenthatheretic5960 this coming from a self proclaimed heretic/heathen, I doubt you could hold a logically consistent conversation with me. Even if you could I presume you have already deluded your philosophy with dogmatic cynicism that would keep us from having mutual premises and any kind of fruitful discussion.
@@Ommateum let's give it a go and not assume what or what a person can do based on names sake.
See you're already making a flawed error by underestimating a person you know nothing about .
Way to go
@@Ommateum oh dogma is a religious thing. Based on the fact they accept something as truth based on a foundation of claims. Soooooo. Where are my dogmatic views when it comes to religion?
@@heathenthatheretic5960 dogmatic has nothing to do with religion but sure you can say that
I like that we look at worship as this big majestic thing but really its giving him credit for what he is doing
Yes, and appreciation for Who He is. He literally inhabits the praises of His people. "One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to Behold the Beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple." ~Psalms 27
What I find amusing is that if God exists, which I believe he does, people act like they wouldn’t be in awe.
You must be a proud father Pastor Cliff, watching your son grow on this platform, and articulate truth and wisdom. Blessings.
That’s his son??
@@joshfigueroa7847 yep
He has to be, he looks dead on him😂
I thought so they move the same !! 😂😂😂
They regurgitate the same utter bullshit
I heard a preacher once say "God didn't come to earth to help you in the world, he came to bring you to heaven. This world is corrupt, its going to have bad stuff happen."
That is very true.
Then a question one may ask is why create the earth in the first place if you’ll come to take them to heaven. I think preachers have their own interpretations on how they view God.
@@fishdawn1804 He created it for us to serve but it became corrupted. Notice how God said he is going to destroy heaven and earth and make a new heaven and a new earth? clearly if he wanted us to live here for the rest of eternity he wouldn't destroy it.
@@christiandanario But that's just a narrative or false interpretation of what people think God said. I also disagree with the narrative that rapture will occur when Jesus comes and take away all those who believed in him and that He will create the new earth and heavens. My question is if those who died in Him are with him in paradise why are you as Jesus waiting for your second coming to resurrect those you claim are already with you in heaven? I mean you're with them in Heaven why are you raising them? Does it make any sense?
There is no logic in these narratives, and another contradiction that is consequently highlighted is at funerals. You would hear a preacher say "may his/her soul rest in peace" and you wonder which part of him/her is resting in peace and which part has gone to heaven?. I think there is a disconnect between these myths and reality. Is God/ Jesus going to raise all these people including those who died in ancient times (Abraham, Moses, David, Jacob, Isaiah, John the list is endless)? These gospels of antiquity have by far been mispresented by people with fallible tendencies and those who claimed to have been inspired by God.
@@fishdawn1804 with your first point, i don't see how that debunks the fact Jesus literally said he was going to destroy heaven and earth. If he wanted us to live here he wouldn't plan to destroy it and make a new one so this proves to me God doesn't like what its become.
Your second point however doesn't make sense. Are you saying when we die in Christ our souls don't rest in peace with God?
Cliff is on a whole another level God is poured into him such wisdom and knowledge God is awesome beyond description mind blowing 🤯
@MENTAL SLAVERY MENTAL SLAVERY Do u have anything to counteract what he said?
He is at the lowest level . Cliff ,spend your money on poor and homeless people. Poor people need food and shelter. You talk too much ,so start helping the poor ok.
Maybe for someone who hasn't learned the counter arguments.
@MENTAL SLAVERY MENTAL SLAVERY 1. Please point out examples of his garbage. Substantiate your position or withdraw it.
2. Christianity is not a religion. It's a relationship...
@@thatone8085 "start"? How did you conclude he doesn't already?
Man that's one of the best responses to same sex attraction I've heard in a while.
9:09
The correct response he should give is to admit he's homophobic.
Fast forward 120 years, and if everyone were gay, humanity would no longer exist. From that we see that it could not have been God's intention.
this
When you trust Christianity you are not trusting "it" you are trusting "him." Jesus Christ was and is a person.
Not only a person- but God, and logos/ the word of God in the flesh.
God led me to these videos with Pastor Cliffe and, WOW, so glad to see a true believer battle unbelief on college campuses. Everyone has hope in my eye's and my hope is that they all find an answer to their confusion about who God is and how He loves them.
Cliffe always bringing minerals to these kids!! His son is starting to grow on me too..love it!!
Yeah kidney stone minerals
@@heathenthatheretic5960 you atheists are summting else 😭😭😭😭
God is not your servant, we are his servants.
He's not a genie, he's the Supreme Lord.
He's under no obligation to "help" you in your life of sin.
We all have to serve someone, you just need to choose who -- and what better master than the one who is omnibenevolent?
Thank you Jesus Christ thank you GOD
Amen precious bro!
There are good and bad desires...God honors the good ones and detests the bad ones.
Thank you! I’m praying for all here. I love your message that weakness is to be embraced and we shouldn’t forgive ourselves or expect to feel that He is helping us unless we pray so long that we cannot help ourselves. Only Jesus can forgive and we have no power. I hate myself but find that part of being faithful to Him. We eat chocolate proudly at our church so it is perfectly normal for our kids to not be let’s say athletic. I would not be ashamed of fatness as it is part of being a good Christian to tolerate guilt, and those that are not guilty might not be forgiven and thus might not reach heaven. I myself often have guilty feelings of not enough faith in God but I use this guilt to ask for forgiveness so I can be saved. I don’t think we should try to overcome our guilt but recognise it as part of being a Christian, even if it is difficult to live with. Even if we feel worse with this guilt, it I better to have it and know that we are true Christians. It brings us down, but it brings us together. Together, and down. Only then we can be saved. Being fat, well I’m bot fat to myself but if you choose to identify 558 pounds as fat, then that is your choice, but being like this does make me feel guilt but from my faith I think guilt is not an unholy feeling even if it means pain. It is like turning your cheek when struck as we are taught and deeply a part of our faith of tolerance our sadness and sickliness - including being large. Faith also why I love America 🇺🇸 and we are unique here, we have a responsibility to change the world, and lucky to be an exception in the world - thus we can spread faith to others to help them to tolerate guilt of sin, guilt of leaning away, and guilt of eating chocolate. This brings Christians together and Jesus accepts you too, so if you feel guilty for chocolate, or guilt ou about anything, think about your faith firstly rather than trying to solve the problem. Under god we accept, we give in to our weakness, we don’t try to change our weaknesses.
God is not your servant, we are his servants.
He's not a genie, he's the Supreme Lord.
He's under no obligation to "help" you in your life of sin.
Then do not call him omnibenevolent then😜 oh and there is no such thing as Sin only moral and imoral actions. The percieved whims of your imaginary friend are irrelevant.
We believe what is convenient for us, the trends and social beliefs/acceptance of todays time are very contagious, especially to the youth/young adults. Some have even diluted the word of God to fit their lifestyle, we are so wrong for this. Gods word is solid, it is full, it can be sweet but it can also be painful & hard to accept. I pray for all of Gods people. To understand truthfully & wholly what our great teacher has for us in His word. He knows what is best for us. We did not find Him, He found us. We do not hold onto Him, He holds onto us.
these kids are just too woke... always have 1000 reasons to reject the truth
Just one reason really
They are comfortable in their sin
I partly agree with you. I don't think this applies to all of them. I sense a lot of them are genuinely confused when they ask their questions. The gospel can be pretty hard to comprehend for a person who doesn't understand it's essence, that's why i appreciate cliffe's patience and self restraint with them. In my opinion, he's approach is a very effective approach for reaching out to this generation of young people. They desperately need more people like cliffe.
Forever learning but never coming to the knowledge of the trut
They are content with their lifestyle and don't care about their sin or their arrogant attitude.. They will rather give excuse after excuse to the point of being annoying rather to just accept the obvious...
Here is the problem with modern education: Why Do I Not -Feel- Sense His Help?
Classrooms Before: "So class, regarding this event in history, what do you THINK about that?" Following this a logical analysis of the current conditions and evidence, etc rightfully happens.
Classrooms Today: "So class, regarding this event in history, how do you FEEL about that?" Following this personal anecdotal stories are told of the victims and their suffering, etc.
This is why screeching has replaced dialectic.
1 I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. 2 He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. (Psalm 40:1-2 ESV)
its nice to see student atleast thinking about christianity
This was really good!!! Right on Cliff and Stuart!!!
If you see me in the comment section, it's because I'm viewing most of these videos and sharing my thoughts and talking to those who engage back.
Cliffe did the same by going to these public places, and we agree that he can do that, so here I am to join in.
Pastor Cliff, you are my almost every day teacher. Thank you so much for existing, but first I thank GOD for having you Cliff and people like you Cliff to guide us through this difficult time where Science and new philosophy is dragging away our young.
The issue with these younger generation is that , they want to justify their evil deeds and becoming wise they became fools.
I agree it's a way to not take responsibility... If I acknowledge it I have to take responsibility for it... I hope people find the truth before it's too late
Whoever is reading this, you're cool 👌
Unconventional love? We all have conditions for loving those around us. We Ask our friends and family to treat us with respect.. Even God has one condition if you want to spend eternity with him
I disagree
Will you go out of your way to help an enemy who killed your own child? Exactly! Christ forgave a serial killer who was nailed to a cross next to Him.
We’re born with sinful desires that come from the fall. We’re born broken and sinful. Evil desires are not given to us by God they are given to us by the fall (when sin entered the world) When we’re born again God gives us a new heart with NEW (now God given) desires to praise Him, do His will and share the gospel.
Simple Cliffe, simple. Very disappointed that you didnt mention this but glad you spoke with this student.
Peace and blessings from the uk! I absolutely love these videos, this particular one was so thought provoking. It made me think about the difference between a punishment and consequences. Most of the time when we suffer, its not a punishment but a result of our own sin and downfall. It just shows so clearly how much we need christ and his forgiveness. This is one of the reasons I don't believe in karma also.
Hey Terrell, fellow UK citizen here. Suffering comes in many forms, what would you say to a mother who's just watched her child die from something like cancer, and suffer intolerable pain?, what has that child done to deserve to die in such a terrible way?
@@bonnie43uk hi bonnie. Id try as much as possible to console the mother and her family in whatever way would be best for her at that time. I already know what your trying to get at here so I'll even ask that question for myself. If I was ever a father and I seen my child go through pain, would I be angry and upset? Yes of course I'm human. Would I be grieving? Yes there is no doubt. But would I honestly ever blame God for it? I hope that I wouldn't. For me it doesn't make sense to blame God because I was born into sin and I acknowledge that, and when we talk about death, illness, suffering and pain etc, because of sin these things are bound to happen so it wouldn't surprise me at all. No its not a punishment at all but in reality, like cliff said the wages of sin is death. And with regards to your other comment, in my opinion I don't think anyone one can just be born into a religion. For example, just because my parents are Christian, Muslim or Hindu etc and I say I am because they are, does that really mean I am? When people are born and we experience our life , have you ever question why we say things like ' when in this age, I want to be married, or own a house, or have children or learn to drive a car' for example. Dont you think it's interesting that no body ever says when I'm this years old or reached a certain point in my life, I would like to know God! Why? Because we're already cut off from him and suffering In my experience can actually be useful into questioning my purpose in life and then form relationships with my creator. We can't go looking for christ, but christ can sometimes enable certain things to happen, weather if we view it as good or bad, and use it for him to find us. I sincerely hope this helps.
@@tezmull Thanks for that Terrell, yes, the question of why innocents suffer is not an easy one to answer from a religious perspective.. you could of course argue that "none of us are sinless", .. but even there, are you seriously suggesting that babies commit wilful sins when they're only a few months old?, yet we know that babies are subject to diseases which are not only deadly, but also cause intense suffering. I think it's worth taking a step back and asking why a supposed 'all loving' God would allow that to happen, .. the "free will" argument doesn't come into it as i can see. .. a new born baby that has a terrible illness that's going to kill him/her hasn't brought that illness on itself.
The truth is, as far as i can tell is that we are an evolved species that shares this planet with millions of other living organisms, some of which are very harmful to man, some of which benefit man, eg: plants with healing capabilities. The planet we live on wasn't specifically designed for mankind, most of it is completely inhospitable to man. We are not the be all and end all of life, it could even be said we're now at a point in history where we are causing more harm and damage to our planet than at any time in the past. Past generations would have known absolutely nothing about carbon emissions, or how deforestation is having a major impact on our lives.
Anyhoo, I have a few chores to be getting on with now. Good to know you, whereabouts in the UK are you Terrell?, I'm in Swindon Wiltshire.😊
@@bonnie43uk honestly your more than welcome like I said I hope it's given you some food for thought. You definitely have given me some, which I do see as a good thing and I hope I've done the same. I understand that obviously there's a difference im opinion here but it is nice that we have done it in a respectful manner which is definitely positive expecially during these times.
Thats cool I've never been to Swindon before, I'm a massive football fan so I've heard of Swindon Town but that's about it, and myself I'm from Birmingham but currently living near Wolverhampton. :)
@@tezmull Nice to meet you Terrell, I seem to get accused of being a troll on here by some people ( they're welcome to their views btw), I've watched these Ask Cliffe video's for about a decade or more now, I've found them quite interesting to watch as I was born and raised into the Christian faith, but it never sat easy with me, I struggled to believe in the supernatural elements of the Bible, and the more I thought about it, the more those doubts played on my mind. I have a particular interest in miracle claims, so I'd be very interested to know if you have any good evidence of that. Also being raised Christian I also struggled with this whole concept of eternal hell. Surely if we're hellbound then shouldn't we at the very least be aware of the terms and conditions of Hell?... it very much depends on which Christian you speak to, whether it be actual eternal damnation ( which sounds horrific beyond comprehension), or whether it's some kind of absence ( or separation) from God. As I don't believe there is anything after death, an absence of God is perfectly fine with me.. i will be in exactly the same state I was in before I was conceived.. and it didn't bother me one iota. But the other option of some kind of ever lasting torture is not something surely any human would want. Even someone as immoral and corrupt as Donald Trump would not deserve such a fate. Nobody would.
Heh, can you see why I find these conversations so interesting?😊
When you read the bibles, there are gonna be a whole lot more sense stuffs or things than what this worlds offers. I used to believe in Siddhartha and grew up in Taoism family. Honestly....Jesus Christ is alot more sense to me than those.
I love how Cliff stands by his son and is always ready. Keep up the god work!
Amen 🙏
That example of Hitler being nice to his father goes along with a theory I have about the people before the flood. It says that ' their thoughts were only evil continually ' . Even the worst people we can think of have ' nice ' times, while it seems the people before the flood got to where they were NEVER nice, never had any good thoughts. In order for them to be like that they must have not been 100% human.
Please come to the University of Oklahoma!!! Our campus needs Jesus
Yes,very true...
My wife of 13 yrs went there to get her masters while we were married...then during a cultural class for government leadership, she took the professors teaching to heart...
Thru away a 16 yr relationship to pursue selfish gain & individual happiness....other married students also separated & divorced....
Sad & devilish...
Carbon monoxide is real. Has anyone ever seen or felt that (: yet we have detectors for it.
Good points about us as humans wanting me be our own god, dictate what we want to do and not be accountable for our actions. How can an imperfect being become his own god? Easy ...rejecting the Savior of all humanity, Yeshua Hamashiach, he is Lord
I’m an anomaly since i never partied partied partied but still flunked flunked flunked yet I still practiced self control or focus on different aspects of life and or reality.
Lack of faith is so many people problem.
Thank you Jesus for Pastor Cliff
God: Don't open this box, or disease will spread
Humans: Open box
Humans 1000's of years later: "OMG WHY WOULD GOD OPEN THAT BOX?!"
The Lord made the earth perfect and infallible in the beginning. He did make all things good! IN THE BEGINNING! Now it’s chaotic!
Guess he’s crap at world building.
11:38 (after the kid is done talking)
We weren't taught to lie, Instead, we were born with the desire to lie and lying is not good on any level. Stealing is also a desire we were born with but is also not good on any level. Hating on someone is also a desire we were born with and Jesus calls it murder which shows that hate is not good at all either. Same-sex marriage is a desire people are born with that dishonors God. Just because we are born with a desire, does not make it right.
9:40 Yes. Just because we want something doesn't mean we should chase it. We come out of the womb and grow up rude, rebellious, greedy, irresponsible and selfish. Those are desires everyone is born with. We have to grow up and make the decision to mature. It's called self accountability. Either we choose to be self accountible or we don't.
I respect Cliffe greatly but he bounces around the topic of homosexuality too much. Nobody that puts their trust and faith in Christ our Lord should be afraid or intimidated to speak the truth against homosexuality. Nobody is born gay. It is a choice. God doesn't make people gay.
What help? GOD want us to carry each other burdens! GOD commanded us to love one another 🙏❤️.
And sometimes we know that there are possiblity to encountered accidents and danger we choose to go! Let's say if woman going to bar with all male friend! There are possiblities that you are in dangers right! And GOD wants to be responsible to our actions!
If god existed there would be no need to prove his existence. In other words, if you don’t feel the hand of god, praise yourself lucky that you’re a healthy human being and that you don’t share the delusions of believers in some imaginary BFF :)
God didn't make a child be born gay or anything else. The spiritual is more real than the physical and some things are best explained from a spiritual point of view because we are spiritual beings. There is one that hates mankind and has pursued to kill steal and destroy us by any means necessary. God is perfect any everyday and He is able to make a squared circle if He wants to. God is limitless in all He is and the best way to live is to accept that your wisdom and intelligence is foolishness and stupidity before Him,so trust Him and follow . We are referred to in his Word as sheep and He is the Good Shepherd. He is the potter and we are the clay, period. I am Mark using my wife's tablet.
I need Jesus
His words are so wonderfully powerful!.
He sounds like he doesn't understand the meaning of words.

Desires are good and others are bad. This is to the purpose of free will. All are desires will be good in the resurrection unto life. So you cannot be forced into this heavenly state.
Josh Jeggs what?...are you saying the rapists desire to rape is ultimately good?...I don't fully get your comment
@@cameroneagle4370 HI. You have good Desires and you have Bad ones.
a rapists desire to rape is bad, but he has free will which can stop him from doing it.
it is the principle from the scripture...
*Deuteronomy 30:19-20 - I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live*
For us to choose God we have to surrender our desires unto him. so if we feel like robbing a bank to get money, we choose not to for the sake of our father
If we believe in Christ and accept him. we accept his morality. so our desires like rape, will be unacceptable to us thus Christ knows we have chosen him and will be justified in giving us Christlike desires only , in the resurrection unto life
@@cameroneagle4370
How did you come to that conclusion after reading his comment?
Learn how to read man.
@JohnjOcampo I can't read , can you please teach me
@@cameroneagle4370 seek God instead.
We are tempted with evil desires, and we ought to, and those who are saved and baptized have the power to overcome in Christ Jesus.
Don't pray when you feel like it. Make an appointment with the King and keep it.
I love this ministry so much. 🙏
22:14. Never heard him so calmly talking. Could put me to sleep :)
Thank you JESUS for Cliffe who helps me understand the Truth of The GOSPEL. We are all sinners & JESUS CHRIST is The SAVIOUR .
We are all mixed up and confused and live in a world of good and evil hence why God gave us a moral code to follow. Our problems are we think we know what’s best for us not God.
I wish one day you and your crew would come to Minneapolis or Saint Paul.
Let me make this real simple for you. THE LORD YOUR FATHER CREATED YOU FOR HIS PLEASURE 🙏❤ If you're to wrapped up in the world and just to busy to return your love for him!!! You're on your own in this world!!!
I like Stuart (Cliff's son), but claiming that only God can love unconditionally is unreasonable for the following reason: Since we don't understand what unconditional love entails, how can we recognize it when we encounter it? What exactly does unconditional love entail.
Luke 11:28
But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
John 7:7
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
Luke 14:20
And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
1 Corinthians 11:13
Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
Matthew 22:37
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Jesus is the only way, the only truth, and the only life. Without him there is nothing to hope for in this life or the one that is coming. He is the redeemer. Christ has paid tremendous price for you.
If you’re in Christ, you are no longer in condemnation. God loves you. He died for you. He is with you. God of heaven and earth richly bless you. 😊
God allows satan in our lives to constantly test us. He wants us to insulate ourselves from satan and develop are solid relationship with him.
Not saying this in a rash way, but sin by definition via the Bible is only something a human or at least a cognitive being does against God. Where there is no law there is no sin. Once a law is in place, it takes the act of a humans free choice to break the law to create the definition Sin. I have never seen Sin apart from a persons free choice.
nice
Since eveyone keeps misspelling your name, I'll just call you Pastor E 😂😂 That way, the next time I post they'll ask: why did you call him Pastor E? I'll say "because the name Cliff- has an E on the end" 😂
In a sense humans are hybrids who know good and evil like God but we can’t be like Him cuz jesus is the only perfect being and is through faith that we are acceptable??
Knowledge Comes From Reading The letter Of The Law: While Understanding And Wisdom Are Gifts From The HOLY SPIRIT
God is a good God.
If you all haven't seen a documentary called.... It's worse than you think.... By revelations of Jesus Christ ministries.... I suggest you do.... All praise and glory to the most high Jesus Christ
"God" from the Bible (Old Testament) was YHWH! That being was known as Enlil! This is 100% spelled out in texts thousands of years before the; Bible, Quran and Tanakh (OT). You all need to stop believing everything shoved down your throat and do YOUR OWN RESEARCH!
People think that because you are born with the desire, it comes from God and therefore all desires are good. That was before Adam's fall, because Adam and eve knew no sin, did no sin and no sin could be found in them. After the fall, they no longer only had His desires. They opened themselves up to Satan's see desires. But God still gave them freedom of choice, the same choices we have now. So when making a choice, we still have that innate ability to know if this is a good choice for me only /good for me and for those who are impacted by my choice. And if we cling to the selfishness of Satan, we have to deny God because if we don't, we realize that acting on bad desires is sin.
I am reading proverbs and I think that good and evil work in similar ways but with different intenctions. In proverbs there's a woman who tempts a young and naive man. She's Always on the streets trying to find weak men to seduce them. Also the wisdom of god is screaming on the street, searching for weak and gullible people but to give them wisdom and clear vision.
In this world there are several false teacher that spread hate and lies, and wonderful teachers like Cliff that make people open their minds with his simple but powerful words. Thanks Cliff, amen.
Stop kid, stop. You ARE NOT “born gay” , you’re just not. It is 100% a choice. A choice, a desire in the back of your mind that formed from your own life experience. You were not born that way. Stop. That is SOLELY an excuse to indulge in that said behavior. Period. You don’t GET to choose what you think is right and wrong. I mean you can, but you’re wrong, no matter what you think.
And please STOP with the “so many interpretations out there so none are reliable” talking point, it’s false, 100% false, you need to go listen to Mike Winger or Michael Heiser’s videos on that exact subject.
Because God is the only one who has the perfect definition of what is right and wrong. By our free will we can chase after all our desires, but very often they will have consequences. The question is do we acknowledge or care about what damage our actions will do to other's. It causes problems in their lives but most likely problems in our lives aswell when we chase after desires that God tells us to turn away from, our sins. God knows us to perfection and knows completely whats best for us. But its a choice we make to either exceot His help, or reject it and see how we try and cope by ourselves. But regardless how much one rejects God, He will be there for you any time you decide, enough is enough i cant do this anymore , too much, im at breaking point, i cant handle life any more. God is there ready with open arms to help anyone who seeks Him. God will never reject anyone who turns to Him and seeks His help.
Notice how. They seem to know god so well. But are still questioning the guy who says he knows god and answers all the questions. But if you were to ask how there god works. It be based on their ego or they stumble and fumble over their morals and words. Or state something futile. Like ‘I don’t believe in god’ so why then do you continue to argue or use him to explain yourself
That young man assumed a lot. He assumed all desires are given to us by God. As cliff explained that isn’t the case. However this is especially true in homosexual relationships. God did not give man that desire as He call it abominable, so He definitely did not intend it for man. Also the purpose of sex is marriage (an exclusive union between man and woman) and most importantly children. Homosexuality goes against both of these purposes. So that specific desire is not granted by The LORD nor is it useful in fulfilling the purpose He set for sexuality
Low how you answer the questions. Keeping god as to what he normally does. But 100% god heals diseases. Believe in him. If your belief is strong enough you can send mountains into the ocean
You can Google a verse and compare bible versions quickly to look for any difference in language.
It takes a minute or two to compare.
Try it.
Have you found errors?
There's a famous one where the copyist changed it and made a note in the margin.
Other workers followed up on his work and made sure he had it copied correctly.
The note he had made in the margin could not be erased.
It proves confusion had occurred.
A copyist error or difference.
Bibles have footnotes that discuss errors that were found.
They don't change it so much as they offer it and the correction to smooth out the reading of it.
Try the king James version because issues that have adjusted the amount of study required to get the meaning, are not affecting that version.
If you had good teachers like nuns, you already know how to read and extract the meaning. You would run down any and every word that seemed different.
Like the description of what tree the wood for Noah's ark came from.
You may want to compare some older texts, or you may derive a different description. Further comparisons to other versions causes you to think more.
The main idea and what it says about it is unchanged.
The precepts of Christianity are still preserved in the text.
I am not a moral relativist. Your view of homosexuality is harmful to those that are gay. Your assumption that being heterosexual is preferable to being homosexual is just plain bigotry, hateful and harmful to us that don’t fit your ideas of morality. Your morality is not biblical. I am gay, and a follower Christ and I am just fine. I did subscribe to your channel, but no more!
11:52 Confusing God and the 'god of this world'
When a man looks at God from a point of unrepentant sin he first sees the 'god of this world'
Then concludes its God Almighty
Worship isn't simply thank you, it's understanding who he is and worshipping him because he is worthy of it. Not just thank you, Cliffe has some serious problems in his theology. Free will is another fallacy. He's not biblical in many of his talks. Too philosophical not enough biblical truth.
I love my children unconditionally. So I'm not understanding the perspective presented from the start.
He's saying you or anyone else does not have the capacity to love the way God loves. We are incapable of comprehending the love God has for us.
To say the homosexuality of a homosexual is his or her central identity is to dehumanize and reduce him or her to a blow-up doll.
There is infinitely more to every human than just his or her sexuality. This idea puts sexuality and sex on a pedestal above all other human characteristics, which is tragic.
Broken people get addicted to destructive behaviours, revenge, drugs, violence, rape, desires, greed, unhealthy sexual activities and lying
Really bad apologetic by that explaining God cant make a square circle. God can do whatever He wants to hence HE is the absolute Sovereign even by giving human free will. This is a dangerous teaching.
Unconditional Love? You will find out if ever read your Bible that God’s love is conditional, based on you repenting of your sin. God casts people into hell everyday, is that love? This guy knows nothing
Thank you!
Well done!!! God bless
Nobody seems to realize, that horrible suffering and dead from deseases, drowning, getting burnt in fires, accidents and so on has been part of life on earth since millions of years before even the first human existed. How can "sin" of people be the cause for all that? This is absolutely impossible, it is a fairy tale.
I get the basis of the argument “I was born with these desires”, but IT IS the laziest and the least intelligent…to me.
Just be honest and say you don’t want to follow anyone’s rules but your own
Humans always had the desire to rebel against God from the start and wanted to do things in their life. Example when Moses when to Mount Sinai they carved a calf in gold and started to worship it. These self made desires is pure evil and destruction which is straight from the Satan Himself
So what cliff is saying is good can’t change the laws that correspond with math but can change the laws with physics. Am I understanding this correctly?
ESAU, stop it
1corinthians 6:9-11. Good teaching
Why? This world is a lie anyways. How can someone live in a survilllence state? No privacy no freedom. No free will.
Love Cliff....never knew he was 1 degreed of separation from meeting Adolf Hitler
Mohammed was NOT misrepresented by 911 Cliffe - Yep, I studied the Quran & hadith’s
Most people choose not believing Jesus christ cause if he/she choose and follow Jesus christ the sin that he /she doing well be revealed , cause Jesus christ say in scripture or in bible
"I am the way the truth in the light , no one comes to my father except through me ",
what is the purpose of man in the world? if in the end everyone goes to heaven, and if God loves unconditionally why not just heaven where there is no sin and suffering ?. It is unfair when some people are born happy and rich, on the other hand, some people are born poor, it is difficult, while in the end all people will be beaten to heaven. In Islam we live as a test, we will go to heaven or hell depending on our deeds, whether we are rich or poor. this is fairer and makes sense to me.
Same sex is a preference the base desire is sex but what someone finds attractive or arousing is built by that person just like taste men are not attracted to all women they have a preference or a type depending on what you focus on is what you like just like if you focus on being nice you will be more often and easier.
Hi brother cliff thanks for sharing the gospel with our neighbors i just want to inform you that we as gods children should keep sabbath day holy it is the 4th commandment of the moral law not Sunday. Sabbath or Saturday is the day we should rest and be with Christ.
@@thechosen2545 I’m at 7th day Adventist and we do tithe also I do give to the Needy that are on our street corners whenever I have the opportunity to. I don’t understand your response to my first message to you we need to keep God’s moral law including the fourth commandment that was never abolished
Revelation 12:17
