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.

The way Cliff watches Stuart with pure pride is just so great to watch.
Yeah, must make him real proud that he's passed his delusion on. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Little Stu never had a chance or a choice of a normal life.
@@mirandahotspring4019May God bless your soul and fill your life with comfort and happiness🙏🏽
@@samuraifrog7822 Thank you, the happiness and comfort arrived almost instantly, from Vishnu, god of comfort and happiness.
@@mirandahotspring4019what makes this Vishnu he real God? Never seen a single testimony about anyone encountering it. However, Yeshua is historically real, as are the events of the z Bible.
I listened to Pastor Cliff’s interview with Patrick Bet David. Fantastic!!!! I am now a subscriber. I am 58 years old. Happily married for 33 years to a woman. Father of two. Grandfather of 3. Lifelong resident of California. Super resource for us Christians especially living in this state. Agape!!! God bless. ❤❤
That interview is the same that brought me here!Such a profound man of God!
Jesus The Christ of Nazareth was definitely the most influential and historical non military figure to have lived.
Cliffe Knechtle's been doing Christian Apologetics for decades now and it's awesome seeing his son Stuart following his father's footsteps 😊.This has nothing and everything 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 fellow
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 " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it 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.

Just wanted to let you know that I just finished watching your appearance on the Pat Bet David show (PBD Podcast).
I think you are the closest person to Billy Graham, I along with thousands of people really enjoyed your interview!!
Thank you for being who you are and the great man you are!!
thank you for your work guys, I believe a lot of seeds were planted in those who listened today
Thank God for Jesus Christ making the template on what is morally right and wrong. If Satan was the template this world would be in a world of trouble.
You know I was young too but I never made my line of questioning so complex. Freewill, love is very simple. being a perfect sinless person is difficult but manageable when holding ourself accountable for our sins, asking for forgiveness to Jesus Christ with sincerity is the answer.
It's so easy to believe than to question your beliefs I get it.
@@user-soon300 yeah I agree. Well I would have to question how somebody can't believe. It goes both ways. A lot of times though asking the same questions over and over again doesn't get anywhere. You have to read and do your own research and not rely on other people
So no one knew what was morally right before that? Where do Hindu get their morals? From Vishnu? What nonsense!
@@mirandahotspring4019 Of course, it's nonsense. That's why I believe morals differ from place to place and aren't the same everywhere.
@@user-soon300 These morons listen to Cliffe spout his nonsense without realising it was secular reasoning that decided it wasn't a good thing to stone people to death because of who they loved or whether or not their hymen was intact on their wedding night. They only do that now in countries where religious people are in control.

Cliffe and Stuart are amazing
But they're not really giving a convincing answers
@@user-soon300 What exactly are you looking for? What makes an answer more convincing to you? And how are there answers not convincing? They give well in depth answers.
@@user-soon300 well then go and keep watching until you find
@@C-126 I'm not talking about this video. I'm talking in general for example did you know that he believes everyone did not follow jesus god will throw him / her in hell. he trying to explain why but he failed it's absolutely insane.
@@user-soon300 That’s absolutely incorrect what you just said.
Also, if you are talking in general, that doesn’t help your case. In general, all of Cliffe and Stuart’s responses are in depth, well thought out, and backed with evidence.
I have heard them talk about hell. They admit to not having a picture of hell because scripture provides different descriptions of hell. They will say that they believe that if someone CHOOSES to live life separate from God, then God will not force them to be with Him for all of eternity.
Secondly, they make very clear that God is just, and no innocent person will go to hell.
I think God is accountable.answerable,and He himself made it that way. when God said His word is higher than his name. He has to perform it,to see it through,so that we can trust His word. And this is also why He cannot interfere with the free will He gave us,for He would be going against His word.
I love these videos. You guys are great and I will pray Jesus will keep on using both of you to keep on spreading the gospel. Much love from Europe!!
God Bless Cliffe, his son Stuart and family
Amazing
People living for money has gotten so bad that people will with a straight face say: "You're too broke why should i listen to your advice"
Essentially saying only a rich persons opinion or pov matters which is so utterly ridiculous, it's sad
You just described my children.
My father has always been about making as much money as possible and saving it. It's almost all he talks about. My children while they were growing up thought he was the greatest man they ever knew. Their father is all about money and having a good time. I feel scared my children will not go to heaven because they think my way of life is a joke. They are not believers. I'm proud to say I approach things the exact way cliff described. Do the best job no matter what it is you do and give all glory to God. Bottom line is life isn't about money. It's about the experience. Experiences with others and the focal point is what God wants you to do. They of course think thier fathers way of approaching life is better. I try to live by example but I don't have anything that impresses anybody.
All I can do is pray that God will show them he is real.
Welcome to the club.🤷♀️🤔☝️"pray for one another-Jesus💖💪"& all children💖. 👍😎
Rock on Stuart & Cliffe
Thank you Cliffe for helping people find answers.
Am I the only one who gets teary eyed hearing this guy talk lol?

God is good and everything good comes from god. The creator always gives the creation its purpose and knows when it is doing good.
The creator of the robot vacuum knows it's purpose and knows when it's working well or doing good.
1:14 A persons environment is apart of it, and that can pertain to many areas of a person, Christian or non-Christian. A person could also be demonically influenced or demonized, the one thing apologist don’t particularly talk about. Demons attach themselves to people, they tempt-influence peoples everyday decisions, and they can posses people. Not just with big or “small” sins but a way of thinking leading to death. Freedom from demons is only through Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 3:3
Colossians 1:13
"I found this great evangelist! He's very smart and explains elements of history and the Bible with such contagious passion!"
"Really!? What's his name? I'll write it down?"
"...That's the tricky part..."
Beautiful guys!
Great!
Love the videos ❤
23:30 I believe all success fails without proper moral determination.
And moral determination leads to success
Spiritual "success" is starting and growing a genuine relationship with God and His cosmos together...and "proper moral determination" is a natural by-product amongst many other amazing by-products (Christ-like character, etc).
Its god to see this while my lunch men, Cliff and Stuart are truely Men's of God.
Another great video.
Romans 10:13🙏
"For “WHOEVER CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD [in prayer] WILL BE SAVED.”
Judges 21:10-24 NLT)
So they sent twelve thousand warriors to Jabesh-gilead with orders to kill everyone there, including women and children. “This is what you are to do,” they said. “Completely destroy all the males and every woman who is not a virgin.” Among the residents of Jabesh-gilead they found four hundred young virgins who had never slept with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan

Cliffe is extremely fit , he’s constantly on the move, makes one tired just watching him.
Marcus Aurelius (121AD to 180AD) said, “If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones” which sounds more like Pascal’s Wager (17th century), “If GOD exists, we could gain a lot, such as eternal happiness in Heaven, but if GOD does not exist it will make no difference but at least you lived a good life,” Which both sound similar.
CLIFFE APOSTLE PAUL OF THIS ERA 🙏
Cliff I love you so much and when I grow up I wanna be like you, pls teach me how?...
Stuart, if you are born in a rich home taught biblical truth versus a life of no parents and evil all around you, you're talking about two different starting points. This is rational and logical thought. I am not God so I can't judge absolutely, but within my limited reason I would lean with great mercy towards a person grown up in a very evil environment versus a good biblical home. ❤ you dudes though ☝🙏✌
Stuart, we need to qualify the fact that Jesus was “at a party”, we must be specific and tell the group Jesus was at a Wedding, or they will think its OK to go to any type or kind of party, which is not a wedding. However, the Bible says stay away from the appearance of evil, not to place yourself in a position that will cause you to sin, in addition, bad company corrupts good character, and it takes wisdom when to attend any party or when not to go, as we are led by GOD. And yes, we are holier than they, because we are saved and redeemed and have eternal life as they do not at that time so the LORD does consider us HOLIER than they as saints without us condemning them because we were once sinners also at one time, yes, but we are not to Lord it over them, and walk in pride and arrogance, but to know when by the wisdom of Christ to attend a party of any sort, with the right reason and motive, not just to go to one just to go to one. There MUST always be a purpose. There is more to this but i digress. Yes, love them, however, we must still be careful.
Hey cliff, I’m a 12 year old boy and I have been feeling really lost with my christianity and I need some guidance. I have been having some random questions like do animals end up going to heaven because they are not aware of a god and things like that. I am lost with this subject, and I would really like more guidance with it.
The Bible does say there will be animals in heaven. It says the wolf will live with the lamb, the lion will eat hay like a cow. All creation will praise God in the end. Now the Bible doesn't answer if animals who lived on earth will be brought to heaven too. But considering that there will be animals in heaven, I don't see why God wouldn't let you see your pets too
Do you offer training on witnessing please? I really want to master this and answer the hard cases like y'all do.
He should teach classes. That would be cool! I would go
It all comes down to knowing His word well, and trusting in the Holy Spirit to empower you!
Cliff. Good points on his question of innocent children . I know the old scriptures shows how to understand how God works. Israel had to go into other nations to destroy them because of their wickedness and serving other Gods. So as a result, the children of those wicked parents had to also receive death. This was God showing us that we as children pay for the sins of the parents as far as seeing and reaping. That does not imply that they go to hellfire as it speaks, but that the children will suffer because of their parents walk of distance from God. Remember, the Apostles asked Jesus if the blind man he was healing was blind because of the mother or fathers sins. This was their mindset, and they knew and understood this. But blindness was the one thing that was for God's glory, because only he can make someone see the truth. Without him, we are all blind, regardless of what we believe. Just as sin entered through Adam, we now suffer because of it. Doesn't I play hell, just death and suffering among other things. Sin brings in generational curses, even deformities of a new born through the mother's womb because of her sin. Is the child wicked? No. Are they doomed to hell? No. But they are affected by the sins of that mother. Same way God commanded Israel to kill all the children and infants when they overtook another land, this was showing that you can die because of your distance from God. But never says those infants were sent to hell, just that death is something we pay for from the sins carried down from parents.
Pretty sick and perverted god you have there!

The worst thing that can happen to us is to be separated from God!
Which one and how do you know?
19:33 you gotta be careful tho cause God wouldn’t want you willingly going to a place where your going to be tempted . Not everyone is called to those environments cause not everyone can handle it. But even those that are called to those environments shouldn’t be there for too long cause it can start to tempt them if their not careful. Which is why if you are called to do something like that, do what God called you to do there and leave the second he tells you to go. ✝️
You need to come to some high schools here in New York
Response (to Stuart) -
• Sam never said: let some criminals off the hook.
He Said -
• If the scientific community were to declare free will an illusion, it would precipitate a culture war far more belligerent than the one that has been waged on the subject of evolution. Without free will, sinners and criminals would be nothing more than poorly calibrated clockwork, and any conception of justice that emphasized punishing them (rather than deterring, rehabilitating, or merely containing them) would appear utterly incongruous.
What does he say.?
• He spends a good deal of the book talking about how criminals should be punished for the sake of deterrence, rehabilitation, and re-education, not for revenge or some abstract notion of justice.
• You really should work on not being so sneeky and dishonest, Stuart.

I hate the word successful because the natural question is “successful at what?” Success has to be tied to a specific goal and everyone’s goals are different
Yes, true Christians are collective eternal journey based lives that are aware (and excited) about the logical future, and not finite individualist goal based trying to meet (or exceed requirements) to successfully achieve goals.

I personally find that people don't want to accept the God of the Bible because they don't want to identify as such. It would mean that they must lead a life in accordance to God's word and His teachings which is tbh really difficult to implement in daily life. The identification you make as being a Christian initiates your separation from the ways of the wicked world and once you do that, the world will hate you for it. So it all comes down to whether you're willing to sacrifice the world's approval for God's approval. You can't serve two masters at once.

I don't think anyone will enter hell for an eternity! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I'm making that statement because frankly I need help from a Christian who knows their bible. I don't attend church, and yes I should but I don't. So I have no one I can ask this question to. If someone reads this and knows much about scripture I'd be very thankful if you would listen to what I have to say about who is saved and who is not. I think............and I say I "THINK" in the end no one suffers for an eternity! And I know that sounds crazy! I'd of though the same thing years ago to. But I'm just really in need of someone who can give me an unbiased opinion on what I think I see in scripture. I've asked a couple of people here on RUclips that are Christians and that I follow. They haven't responded, I know their busy! But I need help.
I believe... Abraham was talking with the Lord Jesus. The Lord Jesus visited Abraham the day before Sodom was destroyed. He did not know the Name of the Lord, but He trusted Him.
When a person calls on the God of creation, Though he may not know the Name of the Lord Jesus, yet he humbles himself before God (YHWH the Triune God includes Christ), so he is asking help & salvation from Christ without knowing His Name yet putting faith in Him, it's the power of God & the Spirit of God at work there.
I will simply say prophecy is almost completely fulfilled crisis coming again. Soon I shall respond to know comments. Have a nice life the ones who do go to heaven 1 day I'll see you there. I believe and if not, well then, have a good rest.
Cliff said no one is going to hell because they did not hear about christ. I do not believe that statement… here is why…
Can a loving god send one to hell who has never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ? The answer may surprise you, but YES… The apostle Paul answers this question in romans chapter 1 vs 16-20. For they are without excuse. For the ones who don’t believe it, or don’t want to hear it Your bible reads the same as mine… Truth is truth. even though someone may have not heard they know because it is written upon their hearts. You can reject God for so long eventually he will turn his back on you, and give you up. Thats in the bible also. Thats the most scariest vs in the bible to have god turn his back on you.
3:50 I thought of this. If a square can perceive its self and make truthful observations about itself, if the square says “I am square, I have four sides and four corners” Is that egotistical? Is he being arbitrary? No, it’s a true fact about reality.
So if God can perceive himself, and understand true facts about reality and about himself, if God reveals to us “God is good” Is that egotistical or arbitrary? I would say no, it’s simply a truthful observation of reality. A factual condition of his being
I don't know about egotistical but it's definitely arbitrary. How else does God know what is good?
I'm having existential crisis man
Ppl not believing in your dogma isn't them "choosing to live separately from god." Read the 1st commandment, there are no choices.
We should believe your dogma instead?
Of course it's a choice. You don't seem to understand what choice is. Apparently you think that in order for choice to be real, the consequences must be the same or very similar. But if the consequences are the same or similar no matter what you choose, how is that choice?
Only if the consequences are different does choice exist, which means the greater the difference, the greater the choice. And there is no greater difference than between Heaven and Hell, which means it is the greatest choice.
If you don't believe people would choose Hell, you just haven't looked around. People choose Hell on earth all the time.
The addict who refuses to get help. The woman who chooses one abusive boyfriend after another. The friend who knows he's wrong but refuses to apologize out of pride. The mother who holds on to a tragedy because she thinks it's the only thing that gives her life meaning. The mobster who won't let his son into that life but refuses to leave it himself. The homeless man (I met a bunch of these in LA) who won't get up early enough for a free food and clothes event. The cynic who refuses to believe anyone has a good motive and treats everyone accordingly.
If this is so on earth, how much more is it so in the world of the spirit?
@@davidplummer2473 I am not presenting a dogma. Christianity posits that there are ideas in the bible that cannot be challenged.
I choose to not live forever. When I finish existing, I'd like to continue not existing.
On the surface, who would choose to go to a place of torment. It's not an option.
You are being flippant and simplistic regarding people with addiction and co-dependent issues. In many situations, it's a vicious cycle of neglect and pain stemming from childhood trauma that contributes to abuse or drug use in adulthood.
Citizens of N. Korea have choices as well. However, we have to critique the quality of these choices.
@@CJBlake-ym6ky
"I choose to not live forever. When I finish existing, I'd like to continue not existing."
You do have choice over many things, but not these. You did not choose to come into existence so you can't choose to live or not live forever.
If there is no God, it will not be your choice to not live forever, that will happen whether you desire it or not. If God and Heaven and Hell are real, you will continue to exist in one place or the other, whether you want to or not.
So it doesn't revolve around your likes.
I am not flippant about addicts. I have some in my family. My brother is one and he was raised in the same house and treated the same as me and my other brother. But he decided he liked being intoxicated and we didn't. Having been in and out of prison and with health failing so badly that he now looks like he could be our father, he still chooses to drink. It's not much fun to watch. Yet it's still not too late.
On the other hand, we had an AA chapter at my church back in LA and I met and talked to many, many a recovering addict. To a man, they all said that nothing will ever change -- except to get worse -- until YOU decide YOU are sick and tired of pulling arrows out of your butt. PERIOD. That means making a decision. A choice.
That's not to say that childhood trauma can't greatly influence you toward taking that first hit, drink, snort or puff, or to keep going with it, nor is it to say that such things are to be taken lightly. Far from it. But it also doesn't mean you can't recognize that you are in deep doo-doo and you desperately need help and make the choice to reach out.
"On the surface, who would choose to go to a place of torment. It's not an option."
It's like you didn't read what I wrote. People choose Hell on earth all the time and I gave just a few examples. As I said before, if people choose Hell on earth, how much more is it so in the next life undiluted by God's common grace?
If you really think God and Christians are these awful, stupid immoral beings, you can opt out and permanently separate yourself from them. No-one will be in Hell who didn't choose it because they preferred it over Heaven. As awful as it is, if you opened the doors of Hell and told everyone they were free to go to Heaven, no-one would leave. They hate God and Heaven that much. Just like my brother hates sobriety.
Hey guys, I have a question that I find difficult to maintain. My problem is that I wish to acknowledge the fact that Jesus died for my sins, but what I’m having trouble with is that if Jesus died for me why can’t I continue sinning? (And in Galatians 5:19-22 it states some sins that say that if you do them then you won’t inherit the kingdom of God) So in conclusion: if I commit the sins that are stated in Galatians 5:19-22 and yet I trust in Jesus will I be accepted into the kingdom of God?
good question, this whole question of sin is ridiculous, I think most Christians tend to think about sex as being one of their most popularly committed sin. Truth is, we are sexual creatures, we all are attracted to sexual thoughts, I'm guessing that's the thing you're worried about?, or do you continually steal and get drunk?
Does God want us to stop sinning? Of course. But he knows we are not perfect. Only Jesus was able to live the perfect sinless life. But, God wants us to keep trying. He really likes it when we keep making an honest effort. When we screw up, we need to be sorry and try harder next time…. That is the commitment God wants from us.
Do we WANT to be more Christlike and stay away from sin? Yes we do, IF we really understand that Jesus loves us so much that he suffered terribly and died on the cross to save us (personally) from the punishment of our own disgusting sins. We are NOT WORTHY of such a sacrifice. We owe him, big time. We should WANT to please him by being a good representative.
When we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior, we undergo a change of heart by the Holy Spirit; we are no longer “dead”, we are no longer “lost”…. We are “born again”. It becomes EASIER for us to sin LESS, not only because it is the right thing to do, but also because we WANT to be pleasing to God.
That’s how u can tell if someone really has been changed by the Holy Spirit and has been “born again”; they WANT to act more Christlike, so they do. That’s why this verse from James totally makes sense:
James 2:17 “So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”
If someone calls himself a “Christian”, but then totally acts like a nonChristian (lying, cheating, stealing, holding grudges, starting fights, etc.) he sure doesn’t look like he has been “born again”, does it?
You missed something cliffe. The next time someone says they have a problem accepting the fact that people go to hell simply for not believing in him remember that people dont go to hell for not believing in Him and the bible doesnt teach that anywhere.
People go to hell because of their sin. People go to hell because of their rebellion against Him. People go to hell because of the constant evil they do day in and day out. And let's not forget that even just one sin- even the smallest of sins is enough to send someone to hell for all of eternity because every sin is a heinous crime and a capitol offense because it is committed against an infinitely holy, infinitely just and infinitely perfect in every way God.

@@weeyum99 No

@@weeyum99And what does that have anything to do with god murdering innocent babies for the sins of their parents?????
I have a question that kinda goes along the same lines. I recently saw a video of a teen?? (I believe, maybe 20s) with severe down syndrome. He was drinking, smoking, listening to satanic music, cursing etc etc. You could tell the family around him was a huge influence on him and you could almost say pushing him to do those things. How do you think God would judge that young man? I know he's a just God and his understanding is infinite but I'm curious what others think.
things can definitely influence people, but it's how you act on things he could've seen that these things were negative and not good and he could've used that knowledge to stay far from it and not do it or even when he did he could've realized this and tried to stop so it's all about how you deal with things some peoples parents may abuse them or others but that doesn't mean they should follow their footsteps and some people will resent how they were and want to be the complete opposite
When a human dies on Earth, if they're a Christian their soul/spirit are temporarily alive/kinetic in paradise in current heaven, but if not, their soul/spirit are temporarily asleep/potential in Hades. The physical human body (including mental faculties that are extremely impacting like severe down syndrome) no longer limits the human's soul/spirit. No matter where the human soul/spirit is, time still goes on so there's opportunity to start and grow a relationship with God with those that couldn't while in physical human form. Eventually is Judgement day, and yes, humans who should eternally unite with God do, and humans that shouldn't don't.
it's also all about accepting Jesus because our works alone will not save us no matter what we do in life, so it's all about accepting Jesus and him taking the punishment that you deserved for you and if you don't you take it yourself
Saying Jesus loves to party is a misleading statement. CLIFFS son has some weird ideas.
I love Cliff, his heart is in the right place, but I believe he only appeals to the intellect, not to the heart of man, and then confront them, the listeners about how much Christ loves them and what He did for them. It's all intellectual, not spiritual.
When he Evangelizes yes he speaks to logic because obviously these kids only come at him with “logic” not spiritual. If you watch Cliffe preach at his church he doesn’t always come at his sermons logically but at times the heart or spiritually.
Cliffe asserted that the Canaanite children murdered during the conquest were not judged by God. Prior to that he made the claim that God values the lives of children. How is that demonstrated by commanding their murder for alleged crimes committed by their parents. Furthermore, is there historical evidence outside of the Biblical record that lends support to the claim that the Canaanites were depraved and sinful enough to warrant virtual extinction as a result of attempted genocide?
Cliffe also speculated that the children murdered during the conquest were granted eternal life in heaven. What Biblical support is there for that belief? A Bible-believing Christian must wrestle with numerous passages that imply the opposite is true because of the Bible’s claims about the natural state of mankind, e.g. Romans 5:18-19, and the conditions necessary for one to be rewarded with eternal life, e.g. John 3:16, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.
Cliffe cited 2 Samuel 12:23 as evidence that children go to heaven. However, the passage containing that verse is hardly meant to be read as prescriptive. That passage is silent concerning the truth of David’s statement. It simply presents it as something he said. Also, notice in that passage that God is responsible for the death of David and Bathsheba’s son. 2 Samuel 12:15 explicitly states that God killed the child.
The portrayal of god we’re left with drawn from information extracted from the Bible is of a powerful being abusing his power against those powerless to resist him. A god with blood on his hands responsible for babies suffering eternally in Hell because he killed them and deprived them of their only opportunities for redemption.
I disagree, while there's no verse that I know of that specifically states what happens to young kids.
I personally extrapolate from these two verses.
Luke 12:47-48a NLT
[47] “And a servant who knows what the master wants, but isn’t prepared and doesn’t carry out those instructions, will be severely punished. [48] But someone who does not know, and then does something wrong, will be punished only lightly.
---
To me that says based on your knowledge, is tied on your severity.
We do the same with our kids.
5 year old? Slap on the wrist
15 years old? Grounded.
30 year old? Jail.
I believe God works the same way. Angels can't be redeemed, because they had way more knowledge than us when they rebelled.
----
Revelation 20:12-13 NLT
[12] I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books. [13] The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. *And all were judged according to their deeds.*
====
These verses say that they will be judged on what they have done, not on if they believed in Jesus.
I know this isn't some straightforward satisfying answer for you. But I at least wanted to show God will be fair and just to everyone.
@Videokirbyo What can be extrapolated from that parable in Luke is that punishment awaits all who do not behave in a prescribed manner. The parable teaches that there are varying degrees of punishment determined by the level of knowledge of the recipient.
You next cited Revelation 20:11-12. That passage describes the passing of judgment against the dead according to their deeds. However, if you read that chapter through to the end verse 15 states that “anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:15, NRSV) This now raises a question. What is required for one’s name to be recorded in the book of life?
What you’ve done is applied a hermeneutic that requires the Bible to be viewed as a unified text. You’re connecting part of a parable in Luke with part of an apocalyptic vision in Revelation. So, let’s follow that hermeneutical approach to its conclusion.
There are numerous passages (John 3:18, Romans 10:9-10, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, 1 John 5:12) that state belief in Jesus and confession of that belief are necessary for salvation.
So, I ask, how are babies and young children saved if they do not possess the cognitive faculties required to formulate a belief and articulate that belief? At best, based on the limited data available in the Bible, assuming that the books collected within it are unified in their teaching, we can assume that babies and young children will be judged alongside anyone else who never confessed belief in Jesus and that their punishments in Hell will be less severe but eternal, nonetheless. This is your idea of fair?
I do not believe that the Bible is an inspired, unified collection of texts. I do not believe in Hell. I believe that this life is the only life. For this reason I believe we should respect and value life because we are fragile and life is limited. For this same reason I believe that apologetics that excuse the murder of babies and young children, as well as innocent adults, are dangerous because they devalue life and diminish the suffering of those who lose loved ones.
@@JD-er4gf
> So, I ask, how are babies and young children saved if they do not possess the cognitive faculties required to formulate a belief and articulate that belief?
To be honest, I don't know God's plan for babies and young children. Could it be He just throws them into hell and call it day? Maybe, I don't know. But do not forget that God is also supernatural God and doesn't tell us everything(Probably because we'd exploit it, and use it for evil.). There are several ways God could save them. Maybe moments before their death, He gives them enough wisdom and revelation to choose or not. Baseless and Overly Convenient? Yes. Impossible? No.
But, let's stick back to what we can read in the bible.
In Luke 16:19-31 is the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus. Both die, and go where?
Well one is Hades, and the other one Abraham's bosom/Abraham's side(?). Okay, so then where is Abraham? It doesn't really say Heaven. But some nearby place visible to the Rich man.
To me, this read that both (Rich and Lazarus) are in the same region (Hades), but one is tortured and the other is comforted in different locations. But somehow they're both close enough to talk and be seen.
Now, read closely to what Abraham says.
Super Paraphrased. "Rich man had good things in his life, Lazarus had mostly misfortune in his life." Well, that's odd isn't it? Nothing on what Lazarus believed in...
In Revelation 20:13-14(NLT/NKJV)
It says that the grave(Hades/Hell) gives up their dead, and the dead are judged. Then Hades is thrown away into the lake of fire after its emptied out...
I could be wrong in my theory in this as it's a parable, but Jesus never mentions in the story that Lazarus was a believer, right? Could it be that Hell(Hades) is more of a holding cell, and there's a tormentous side and a comforting side until the Day of Judgement?
Now, let's talk about the verses you brought up about salvation.
Yes, belief in Jesus is required for salvation. The Bible is super clear on that. But let's re-read one of the verses you referenced, John 3:18(NLT)
Jesus says how there's NO judgement for those who believe in Him, and those who don't, will be judged. To me it sounds like Believers are saved from Judgement Day and their names are automatically written in the Book of Life/Recorded in Heaven. Luke 10:20(NLT)
In other words, Believers are saved from (skip) God's "Due process" system.
Here's my theory from all of this. Babies and young children go to hell(Hades) but are NOT tortured in there, but are comforted. Why? Because they had mostly misfortune in their very short life.(Luke 16:25) They, however, are not spared(saved) from the Final Judgement (Due Process) and are judge on their actions(Rev 20:13). God rules a fair judgement for them.
> I believe that this life is the only life. For this reason I believe we should respect and value life because we are fragile and life is limited.
Even with life after death, we should still respect and value life. It doesn't make it less valuable, to me it makes this life even MORE valuable with Jesus.
If there's no life after death, why should I bother to strive to live? The death rate is 100%, no one escapes death, so my actions are meaningless, and then after that... that's it.
While I can understand your point of view. I disagree Life after death devalues the current life here.
@Videokirbyo You’ve illustrated my point that the Bible is not inspired by taking disparate verses and attempting to reconcile them through little more than speculation. If we can’t agree on the inspiration, or lack thereof, of the Bible, a productive dialogue is impossible.
I’ll ask one question. This is a “yes” or “no” question. I’m sure that won’t stop you from philosophizing. However, that is your prerogative.
Are the murders of innocent men, women, children, and animals found throughout the Hebrew Bible, carried out by individuals responding to direct commands issued by God, to be viewed as morally just?
@@JD-er4gf
From whose is the one who views actions as just or not? Without knowing from whose point of view you are talking from, I can not answer your question.
Even saying "the abuse of an innocent child is objectively wrong" is in of itself a subjective opinion. I would say infant circumcision could easily be deemed as child abuse, but most orthodox Jews would deem it perfectly ok. So who gets to say whats acceptable and not acceptable?, we all have to individually (subjectively) determine that ourselves and hopefully make a judgement based on whether an act is deemed beneficial or detrimental to that person, some things are easy to work out, and some not so easy.
Excellent point
Even saying something is a subjective opinion is itself a subjective opinion, as is saying that something is a subjective opinion is a subjective opinion. Which sets us up for a pointless infinite regress so maybe it's time to admit that some things really are true.
How is it abuse? Saving them from potentially deadly diseases?
@@davidplummer2473 But what would you say to someone who believes that male circumcision is child abuse. But Abortion is completely acceptable that seems inconsistant & totally incoherent.
@@giauscaesar8047 you know this guy is never going to be rational or consistent. I'm amazed that people still try.
Like his drivel here. What's WRONG with child abuse under his subjectivist worldview? ( a view he doesn't really hold but has to say he does to stay an atheist?)
lets personalize and identify ourselves as the Lord as we often do. Then lets apply the logic, "why trust the word of the Lord when he says he is good". As humans how often do we desire to convince people of our morals and self worth. We can say to someone, I am a good person. Yet you expect they will believe you 100%. Yet 99.99% of the time they will always seek to find a way to prove your words wrong. The Lord, the creator of everything has the ultimate word and we do to him the same we do to other humans day to day. Now. Expect the fact that you want to be taken on your word alone. So does The Lord, yet we are evil by nature and his word is the first word. Trust in him, or if you really neglect him, everyone on Earth must be able to trust the good word of everyone 100% of the time. Yet it doesn't happen because everyone is evil and the Lord isn't. We want what The Lord wants from us.
Sir i need something to show about God please reply sir ❤
4:42 I don’t think it’s sufficient to say that because God said, it’s good, therefore it’s good. God designed the world such that ABC is good, and XYZ is bad. Similarly, an engineer will tell you that it’s good to change the oil in your car and bad to replace the oil with sand. We don’t argue the engineer’s authority when it comes to maintaining the engine he designed, so why would we argue against God’s authority when it comes to morality in the world he designed?
Doesn’t the Bible say somewhere that all the children will be in heaven?
And God wants you Hot or Cold. If you are lukewarm and have heard of the word and didn’t go into it with faith He will spit you out

I believe in God but there's this thing that bothers me, I understand why God allows bad things to happen to good people,even children. But there are sometimes a child suffers without a reason and for no purpose. I've heard about sightings of birds of prey carrying children, they catch some kid, elevate him and then drop him. And it's like I can't match it with the image of a loving and caring God, i mean, I just don't get why God sometimes chooses to intervene and sometimes he doesn't, why would he let a kid die that way? I want to believe in God but I just can't get rid of this thing in my mind,it pisses me off a lot. I'm distressed and I just wanna get an answer.

Cliff going depth on repentance. It's misused, understood and rejected. Belief and repentance is important isnt?
Following Gods laws, you can have a bit of heaven here on earth and possibly heaven after death. Imo.
Yes...starting and growing a genuine relationship with God together will eventually yield a "heaven on earth" type experience. The true current (and eventual united with God) heaven is completely beyond the human (in physical body) ability to comprehend...that's how amazing it is.
Here is the gospel of salvation:
We live in a sinful, broken world that is filled with immorality, lust, greed, envy, selfishness, jealousy, and hatred. People willfully lie, cheat & hurt others.
All that separates us from the holiness of God.
God saw how much evil there was in the world and knew that no human being was pure enough to live with him and the angels in Heaven (our sin keep us out). He knew that even “good” people sin every day and each one of those sins deserves a just punishment. And those sins keep adding up our whole life.
Because he is a just God, a price had to be paid for our wickedness…. The price for our sin is death & eternal separation from God.
But God loves us and wants us to live with him, so he came up with a plan. As part of this plan, Jesus (God the Son) volunteered not only to humble himself and become a lowly man, but also to leave his Godly powers behind (temporarily) while he was a man. He was the only person who was able to live a perfect, sinless life.
But after that he allowed himself to be arrested, slapped, beaten, spat on, whipped and then nailed to a cross where he was mocked as he endured a slow torturous death. Why? So that HE would be the one to pay the price for OUR sins. He became our scapegoat, our whipping boy, by suffering terribly on the cross so that we don’t have to endure the punishment we rightly deserve. He essentially bought our “get out of jail free” card. Because of what he did, ALL of our sins (past, present, future) were forgiven.
3 days after his death, he was resurrected in a glorified body, not only proving he was the son of God, but also showing that we too would be resurrected (on judgement day) and could have everlasting life with him. All we need to do is TRUST in him and commit to following him.
Jesus stands next to us, holding out this card saying “I love u. I died for u. Please accept my free gift I paid for. Just trust in me and follow me,” It’s entirely up to us whether to accept his free gift of salvation or not.
If u robbed someone u would go on trial and stand before the judge, and that would be fair because u deserve to be punished for what u did.
When we die, we stand before God, the righteous judge. He basically asks if we have the “get out of jail free” card that Jesus paid for with his blood, or does he need to go over every sin we ever did and add up all the penalties?
Some people who don’t have the card will say “Wait. I did a lot of good things. I helped people, I volunteered, I donated money to the poor.” God will say “That’s great. Good job there. But, those things DON’T erase any of your sins. U still need to pay the price.”
For those of us that have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior and have committed to following him, God will say “Thanks for putting your trust in Jesus. Your sins have already been paid for in full. Welcome to Heaven!”
This is what is talked about in the Bible as when God separates “the wheat from the chaff”.
This is not an intellect issue; it is a heart issue. He wants u to open your heart to him and commit to him.
What God wants is for us to have a close personal relationship with him. He wants us to talk to him every day.
He wants us to be HUMBLE… to realize that we are UNWORTHY.
To be THANKFUL for the sacrifice of Jesus; to realize that without Jesus, we are toast.
To realize how much he loves us; how important we are to him.
To feel sorry for our sins.
To make a commitment to try to be more Christlike and to stay away from sin. To accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
We are NOT saved by what WE DO; we are saved by what JESUS DID.
That’s it. It’s so simple. Does God want us to stop sinning? Of course. But he knows we are not perfect. He wants us to keep trying anyway. He really likes it when we continue to make an honest effort. That’s the commitment he wants from us.
If u say “That’s all BS. I don’t need Jesus”. U are basically saying that Jesus was stupid to have sacrificed himself for u….
That u don’t care about what the judge has to say… and u totally REJECT someone paying your fine… u don’t want it or need it.
That’s pretty disrespectful and ungrateful, wouldn’t u say?
What would u expect the judge to do?
He’ll say “OK. It was your choice, and u decided to REJECT the previous payment. That means u will need to pay the price yourself.”
That schools basketball team must suck. 😅
Please reply me i have some questions no one can answer about all believes please sir
You do not get into heaven just by having a relationship with him, have you not read where the people of God had so much faith in Christ they could cast out devil's in the Lords Name and he told them to depart from me, for I never knew you? So clearly you need more than a relationship, you need more then faith. The Bible tells you you must be sanctified and believe. This is sanctification of the spirit, and not sanctification of sin forgiveness, which was still done with water. God bless love Michael
10:37 So... the babies did pay the ultimate price for their parents' sins. How is that justice?
Exodus 34:7
@@vanessab2726 That verse proves my point. Your god is unjust.
Dear Jp, making an attempt for that question. Ultimately, I need to repeat Cliffe's 4 words "I do not know".
However, it is important that Exodus 34:7 does not say that God PUNSIHES the descendants of the guilty person, rather than warning humanity that our acts have consequences for our children. If I decide to be unfaithful to my wife, who will be who suffer most of it? Probably my children... If I decide to live my life as a pathetic egoist, who will suffer from it? My family. The principle of "sowing and reaping" is our experience. And sadly we humans are the cause for the unrighteousness our decendants need to face.
Btw. if you read the previous verse, God speaks about his will to forgive and being merciful...
The second point, how can it be just that God commands to kill them? (Bare in mind that without God there is ultimately no such thing like god or evil)
The question is a matter of perspective. The bible has always the perspective of eternity. Life on earth is only a little fraction compared to eternity in heaven/hell. As Cliffe said, those children may have lost their life here on earth but not the eternal life being with God in heaven ( see also Matthew 18:9-11).
Bare in mind that these children lived in a time where the canaanites sacrificed their children to their idols.
If God claims to be just, then we need to assume that these children will be compensated in the after-life, as macabre this may sound. But to our unbelieving eyes, this is only going to make sense if there is life after death and if there is heaven and hell.
Else anything is relative...

For example, if there are a trillion other planets that have living creatures like Earth and its inhabitants are various types of non-human creatures, would Jesus also be God on those one trillion inhabited planets...? 2.

If the celestial bodies were super massive in size like that, the number in the trillions would be uncountable. How big do you think God the Creator is, bro...? Maybe God is only as big as the man Jesus...? 3. According to scientists, the universe is more than 13 billion years old, whereas according to historians, Adam and Eve only existed about 7 thousand years ago. Based on this science... maybe the universe has been empty without any living creatures inhabiting it for more than 13 billion years...? So what was Jesus doing for 13 billion years before there were humans, Adam and Eve...? Please answer me!!!!?!!!
I think I Can answer somewhat I’m not sure if Jesus says anything about other planets but he would still be god on them and gods size I’m not sure he can change he appearance to a bush like he did with Moses so I’m sure he can be as big or small as he wants last who knows what god was doing before he made us
@@didyouseeit7260 My in-depth question. 1. So how do other creatures on trillions of trillions of other planets know Jesus is their Lord? 2. Christians always say that their God is omnipresent and can be everywhere at the same time. Something that can be omnipresent in this vast universe is something that is bigger than the universe. Do you agree with this? If you don't agree, try mentioning/explaining what kind of figure can be omnipresent in this vast universe. 3. Do you think God just created everything in six days and then did nothing or is God still creating until now without ever stopping? Are your parents, you, your children God's creation?
13:25 - Age of accountability. Not a Biblical doctrine. There is nothing that suggests this is a thing. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that because you're young, you're not accountable. That's human reasoning only, and in this case... faulty reasoning.
What the Bible does say is God is merciful and directly teaches that he will have mercy on whom he will have mercy. He may have mercy on little children. He may have mercy on people born with mental problems. He may have mercy on those with low IQs. He may have mercy on those who suffer from dementia. God's mercy is rich, so let's get away from non-biblical human "logic" (oh, their mind isn't good enough, so they CAN'T be accountable... what silliness!) and stick with what the Bible teaches.
But think about this: how silly is it to say that faith in God is a matter of cognitive ability to "dissect the Christian faith?" Faith in Christ is so simple that a young child can "get it" and yet the most educated theologians with IQs of 180 can still debate it and discover new things and understand old things in new ways.
Who among us can perfectly dissect the Christian faith? None, not even one. Every neonatal physician and pregnant mom knows a baby in the womb can respond to its parent's voice. Why then, would we be surprised that a baby can respond to God's voice? It might not be in a way that we can understand, but so what? Cognitive ability doesn't determine anything about God's mercy or ability to work faith in the hearts of those among his elect.
Huh?
You can’t understand God ?
But you know what it is and wants?
You’re not being consistent 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Yes Jesus is god
I don't understand why you say this? If you know he's god
@@user-soon300 Do you believe He isn't?
@@ADxtraIsHere if he really god why you trying to convince other people
And have you seen God with your own two eyes?
@@user-soon300 If people are believing lies and you know the truth, wouldn't you tell them?
According to atheist logic I shouldn't be a Christ follower, I would still be an atheist
You aren't Jesus, remember that. You can't go into every situation Jesus was in.
Godless eternity? Innocent people? Don't worry God will judge with his abundant wisdom and exceeding knowledge... and he won't ask you for advice. You have no idea how God tends to his OWN creation.
For all you know God is evil huh ?
Wow
@@jasonnoble7302 Guess you will have to find out...

The Christian God doesn’t exist 🤷♂️
So it's ok to go to parties etc.... I thought we were to flee from the devil.
It's more than ok to go to typical parties...it's what the Christian's motive is. There may be some tough temptations, but there may not be. Enjoy and appreciate the experience together.
you can go to parties and still flee from the devil. and there are plenty of temptations outside of a party setting as well
