Give Me an Answer - Cliffe Goes To New York

- Program 1723 ................... - Hyperbole - Mystery - Way, Truth, Life ..............
Recorded in Manhattan - June 2023.
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 very cool to see Cliffe taking this message BEYOND a college campus and out on the streets of a major city. THANK YOU, CLIFFE!
I was heartened by his conversation with the black guy in the dress with the handbag, he was very respectful, as the guy said, .. it's all about loving eachother. That's the bottom line.
Amen. Yeah. This was awesome. I see so much of the love of God in Cliff, the man of God is a wonderful reflection of Jesus Christ, bringing grace and truth to show the Way.
It's absolutely awesome to see this happen! Praise the Lord for Cliffe's life! 🙏🙏
I wouldn’t be surprised if his previous work on college campuses haven’t already reached people walking on these very streets.
God wants YOU to go and preach/ share/ witness that Jesus SAVES..... you don't have to do it like CLIFF = HE will put HIS MESSAGE into your heart ❤️
I saw Cliff speaking at Purdue 40 years ago. What a treat to see him still challenging people’s minds as he spreads the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Now that's commitment!
40years😮😮??
@@nwachukwukenneth8262you got to stay devoted for all your life, it is not a one time thing.
Right you are
@@nwachukwukenneth8262hi there my fellow Nigerian😂
i love it that he admit what he doesnt know and patiently listens to people rant in circle
This generation defines love as 'accepting people as they are.' If someone is walking into a burning flame or is falling off a cliff and you warn them, it is not negativity or hate. It is pure love. Keeping quiet and letting them walk off the cliff is by no means or definition of love or positivity.
Yups, love is sacrifice for the one u love so that he/she do the Best in life... If he/she wants do drugs all the time and u let her/him coz of "your acception for what he/she is, and that is junkie" then thats not love, coz u know they will suffer or die.. Life is a gift from God, and if u let someone who u love throwing away that life, thats not love, thats idotic... Thats why best parents doesnot let their kids do what they want to do freely, no limitation..
It’s awesome to see Cliffe widening his audience. May God continue to bless your ministry
Amen!
Amen Halleluja ❤hallleluya ❤
Ihr seid so groß artig. Jesus hat mal gesagt, wenn ihr an meine Wörter fest glaubet, ihr werdet noch größere Dinge machen. Amin
Amen
“If God doesn’t judge America soon, he’ll owe Sodom and Gomorrah an apology” 🤯 that one hit hard Cliffe.
Have you ever lied, stolen, used God's name in vain, looked wuth lust? if so you need to repent today and Believe in Jesus Christ to save you from Hell and go to heaven instead
But he’s absolutely right. Because American is very close to S&G… so sad.
I think people really don't realize just how far S&G were before the Lord destroyed them. There was a mob trying to break into a family's home to sexually violate the visitor in a homosexual way.
I hate having to use "appropriate" words to get my point across on RUclips.
As a 22 year old Christian in the field of Biology , I’m telling you this type of preaching of science, philosophy and God with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, brings more people close to God than screaming at people they are going to hell (though that message is important and can’t not be dismissed, people need to question their way of living)
@@Theo_Skeptomai everyone has its own journey in life, if I tell you my life you won’t believe me or maybe you will but I had my moments of doubt on his existence or if I’m putting my faith in the right beliefs. I’ve never seen God to be honest or heard his voice but I can’t deny many factors in the science field and life. I don’t need to see him to believe for I seen his hands moving faithfully in my life in mysterious ways. All I can say, for someone who believes that death is the final destination is; when my time comes, If I was wrong I lose nothing just like everyone else I’ll be come a fertilizer for plants. If he is real, I will have much to gain. In the end I lose nothing
@@justspaceex1589so you live your life according to Occam's razor, then? If a god exists, do you really think he would be so stupid as to look favourably on someone like you who is basically just hedging their bets? By saying 'if I'm wrong ...' you are admitting that your belief in god is uncertain.. If you were sure in your faith, there would be no if. The word 'if' when applied to whether you're right or wrong about god's existence means you're not sure, which means you're agnostic. Hope you're happy with that, cos I don't think god will be.
@@Adeybwoy 🧐no, not agnostic but good try trying to rationalize your way there😂. When Jesus was crucified, the 12 apostles ran away. Peter, said three times in Jesus' face and in front of the public, "I don't know that man ,". James who was Jesus brother, thought he had mental problems. Even after they all saw and knew the many miracles he performed they ran away and did not stood for God. However, after resurrecting, Jesus met them in their uncertainties and forgave them because they sincerely wanted to believe. We walk by faith, and faith is a process that develops over time, particularly when God restricts himself and allows us to make judgments without his interfering. I've never seen or touched God, but I've witnessed his faithfulness and forgiveness in my life, the only reason people will see or I will see God is because of his mercy and grace, and the faith no matter how big or small we have. Not because of our good works.
Resounding YES! He almost said AMEN!. get the gist of what he said. ❤
Why do all you people say that? When in any of his gatherings has that been said?
I’m a Ray Comfort fan and just recently found AskCliffe. I’m a huge fan. As Christians, we should not be concerned about winning the argument. But we do need to respectfully engage with today’s culture in a loving way. Cliffe shows us how!
Define “loving way”
Agreed, don't be concerned about winning the argument but about telling the truth, and that is what Cliffe and no other protestant does. All protestants are despicable duplicitous GRIFTERS
@@jollygoodgordon5580Spreading the Gospel while loving the other person as yourself, along with the fruits of the Spirit
@@CristOportunidad what exactly do you mean by loving the person like you love yourself? I’m asking because some Christians got this hippy idea about love for example they only think about Christ as loving, but ignore his strict and judgemental /condemning part
@@jollygoodgordon5580 God is the standard of Justice, so in our love we warn them that they are in the path of death due to their transgressions against a just God. "Repent of your sins and believe the gospel! " we say so that people wont be lost in the lake of fire. Love is telling people the truth, even when it hurts them
Wow. Never thought I'd see you evangelizing beyond the college campuses. This is awesome 🥰👍
He has done this many years ago. He has also done prisons. He is very diverse.
Essentially it's just the same thing, just a different crowd
@@renebenton77woah now I need to see that.
This is definitely a fresh take on street preaching outside of Cliffe's usual college campus debates. And to think that people stop by and listen even in the hustle and bustle, there's hope!
i agree!
A couple of nutters in a city full of nutters in a country populated by millions of nutters stop and listen to a nutter.
The guy in the back with the ‘911 LIE’ poster positioning himself which ever way the camera faces is something else😂😂😂. Cliffe much respect!
Have you ever lied, stolen, used God's name in vain, looked wuth lust? if so you need to repent today and Believe in Jesus Christ to save you from Hell and go to heaven instead
911 was bombings not planes
This man has helped me soo much understand the Bible!! ✝️
You can see the Grace of God radiate as Pastor Michael tells his testimony. Praise the Lord 🙌🏻
Bless Michael and the church. May they raise new leaders tans reach more people with Jesus
You need glasses
Amazing to see you out there Cliffe! Amazing
Great to see you here brother!
Keep spreading the good news amongst our Jewish brothers and sisters!
yes, bro!
@@staytinysteve1910❤
It's great to see Cliffe teaching in the streets!!
May God bless and keep you safe!
Thank you so much for releasing this video, Cliffe. I came to your channel a couple of days ago to find answers about the most commonly asked questions about Christianity, and this one answered most of them. Maybe this is an answered prayer from the Lord.
God bless you and may Jesus lead your spiritual journey. Your life is precious, and as Cliffe said, God does not make junk. Everyone has purpose 🙏
The Answers in Genesis videos are also extremely informative 🙏🏻❤️
Cliff's work for God has inspired me a lot ❤. Keep doing the Lord's work!
He is also giving to those who ask, instead of street preaching and yelling to tons of people who did not ask, jesus said "Give to those who ask, but to those who don't they shall not receive." And "Those who are holy let them be holy still, those who are evil let them be evil still", move on but if they ask almost anything be there for them.
I felt the same way!
Thank you Lord for the gift of Cliffe. He is answering the questions of the hard hearted and strengthening believers every single day.
This man is thoughtful, articulate and respectful and he speaks truth! What an awesome ministry.
God bless Pastor Cliffe. ❤🙏
Great to see Cliffe even at his mature age, he is still willing to haul back and smack a stranger in the face.
Seriously, love watching Cliffe share his blessed wisdom, especially out on the streets.
I like how he allows people to ask questions and answers them humbly. He makes great points and I love the fact that the people sit there and listen to him. Great way to spread the gospel and great way to share the faith! ❤️❤️
Now, I wonder how many people follow up and start to attend a weekly prayer meeting and Bible study to continue to seek God and learn from Jesus Christ. Cliff is an example of those who plant and those who water, but God gives the increases. 1 Corinthians 3:7.
no one is there like cliff. i thank our lord Jesus for leading me to cliffs channel
There is also a channel that explains those questions well:
youtube.com/@CrossExamined?si=HEwUR225xe0FIL8O
I wonder how Cliffe compares preaching on school campuses vs NYC.
So good to see all these people from all walks of life with different life experiences in a big city totally engaged with Cliffe and each other. Keep up the good work Cliffe, I’ve been learning from you for many years. May God be glorified.
I love the boldness of Cliffe and we know this comes because he is in alignment with the word of God. I pray for Cliffe always and I wanted to give Cliffe the highest compliment ever because when I hear and see Cliffe speak the word I can see Jesus in him.
Hey Shock nice to see you in the comment section been a subscriber of yours for years I enjoy your content as well as cliffs please keep it up bro always enjoyed the vids where you are on your motorcycle 🏍️
Beautiful!! I came immediately you called❤
Keep up the great work you do Michael, and Cliffe.
I pray the Lord continue to preserve this man so he can keep answering the hard questions people have. Lord keep his mind sharp, keep him in your Word, continue blessing him.
Holy crap! That’s pastor Michael!! I was an intern at Calvary Bible Institute when he was a student!!
How bout them Packers
What is Pastors full name?
@@joshuatolliver7155 that’s Pastor Michael Hacker. He’s the Pastor of Calvary Chapel Grace & Hope in NYC
I pray for protection over Pastor Cliffe as he ventures into the public. Thank you Pastor for sowing your seeds.
Cliffe you have been a big part of my spiritual growth and have helped me understand my Faith in Jesus Christ ever since I found your videos 3 years ago. You and your videos have been a big blessing for me and my life. God bless you and your labor for the Lord! 🙏🙏
Prayers for this wonderful ministry. 👏🏽
Faith and logic seem contradictory but Cliff has made it easy to understand how logical it is to believe in Jesus. Thank you God for all of our gifts, there is no meaning or purpose without you.
Jesus Christ teaches people to find truth through observation and reason, without that any other person can oppress us with their opinion.
All logic requires faith, if you don't have faith in the logic you use, then why use it?
@@dited358 yes that’s a good point. Logic is God thinking. Since it is an attribute of God. However he is not subject to logic itself, he IS logic to act in keeping of his own intrinsic nature. Gods nature defines reality, which includes logic. I have faith and believe that Jesus Christ will save more and more of us to give true meaning and value to our lives and show just how uniquely beautiful we all are. When you have God you have joy, so spread the good news.
@@dited358faith should be built on a "reasonable reason". I don't have faith in science, I use it because it's the best answer we have RIGHT NOW with what is presented to us in reality.
If God wasn't invisible, forever changing with the opinions of humans or at the very least testable, then I would Believe.
So I ask why do you believe? Also faith seems dishonest can you explain what you learned from Cliff or your understanding why it's a good thing to use?
@@chrisbarbosa8650how do you know God is logic? What have you seen? Is this something you can explain or are you just saying this?
Cliffe's videos were one of the first things that encouraged me to take the leap of faith into becoming Christian. I am on my way now to becoming a Greek Orthodox catechumen. Praise the Lord and bless Cliffe for all his awesome work!
I need more!! Please make the videos longer. I can listen to this all day!
I need more of this off campus educational teachings from Grace Church. Especially the busy streets. Today's generation rarely stops to think about the life after, always stuck with today and tomorrow. Hope the nearby church expands and push the kingdom agenda forward in those streets. Praise God for the workers. There is a lot of harvest, all for God's agenda 🙏
Who else thought that was David Lynn for a second? I was about to be like “the whole NYC about to repent!” 😇😂🔥
Hahaha, as I was scrolling, for a split second I thought it was him too. So unexpected! That would be amazing, Cliffs got the kind, patient, logical approach and Lynn is a firebrand, passionate, unwaivering. Two very different styles and ways the Holy Spirit is using these brothers. I appreciate them both.
This is the only guy I’ll listen to. He’s actually patient and kind with the way he approaches these questions. He might even aid in bringing me back to believe.
we need more Cliffes
I'LL BE DELIGHTFUL TO WELLCOME YOU IN BELGIUM PASTOR, THE YOUNG GENERATION IN HERE NEED THIS KIND OF DIALOG. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR TEAM.
You should be the next cliffe in Belgium!
Zou leuk zijn als hij hier kwam 🙏🏽
Cliff thanks for all that you have done and continue to do!
Cliffe is amazing
Love the crowds that form around him! It’s amazing.
Loved this! Cliffe please do more! I wish I could have a fraction of your knowledge to better spread the good word
Go Cliffe!!!! Praise God for you!! I am a Professor and students ask me about my faith often.
BROOOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT! I didn't know Cliffe went on the streets. What a cool thing! Totally different audience. Haven't watched the video yet, but I'm excited
PRAISE JESUS
Much less chaos in NYC than a college campus, great choice in where to send Cliffe!!!
Looks like Cliffe is gaining the well deserved attention finally too 👏 ❤
@@michaellemmenSo what? Yell at everyone that they are going to hell? Giving good reason for Christianity, then letting the holy spirit convict is a far better way of going about it when you are only going to speak to people once
Binging your content! 👍👍
Wow what a wisdom, I loved that "god bless this channel all the way from egypt
This is amazing!
So many debaters out there today. Many theologians. Apologists. And Cliffe is the best listener I’ve seen. I can learn a lot from him…pray I learn to listen. Pray I die to pride and find more humility in Christ. Thank you Cliffe. God bless you. Hate I never saw you when I went to Texas State
Cliffe; I have been watching on Sunday morning in Connecticut for so many years and only now I find you on YOU TUBE! ( now I can save )It’s wonderful the testimony you bring and I have been blessed and am thankful to you for helping my understanding and for strengthening my faith and enabling me to better share The Word our Lord Jesus. It’s so amazing to see God working through you. And how many seeds have you planted giving the Holy Spirit what He needed to bring His children home. I pray He continues to enable and support you in your ministry.
Thank you Cliffe thank you very much. 🙏✝️🫶
Cliff, with joy in his heart, spreading Jesus' good news, he starts! Through the streets he goes, with a smile so bright, Sharing love and hope, from morning till night. With a skip in his step, and a twinkle in his eye, Cliff tells everyone, "Oh my, oh my!" He speaks of Jesus' love, so pure and so true, Bringing hope to all, no matter what they do.
Sounds like a great poem!😅
I wish it was longer😁i always enjoy thrse videos, God bless you🙏
God is good! Great you could get the opportunity to do this. Need more of this !
Thank you, Dr. Cliff!
love these videos, thanks for keeping up the good work!
Lets Go!!!
This was Amazing!!!!🤩 God bless you!!!🙏❤️👑🕊️✝️
Brilliant Cliffe !! May God Bless and Keep You!
I kinda wanna see a playlist of the different states cliff went
I hope you run into my brother Michael Prisco, who shares the gospel on the streets of NYC every week. God bless you brother Cliffe.
This is great. Thank you for uploading. Love how Cliff breaks it down logically in simple terms.
I love your talks May you be blessed 🙏🙏🙏☘️🌹
Been watching since 08/09 I admire what you do, would love to see you in Ireland some day.
What a man the Lord has raised up in Cliffe. Thank you.
God bless you brother Cliffe, The Holy spirit speaks to me and encourages my heart every time i hear the truth from you. Keeo spreading the Gospel, we're praying for you.
Thank you I am learning so much from listening to you and watching how you treat answer people's questions.
16:10 some people who have experienced a near death experience can imagine a place wich you described. Outside of time. They saw and experienced past present and future at the same moment...great video again sir! I really love and like your patience and knowledge. You bring the truth in a loving and respectfull way and in a way that most people can understand it. Thanks and greetings from The Netherlands. God Bless you and your team
Really ? Can you tell me more about that?
I don’t think anyone can provide immense amount of evidence to support those near death experiences
@@icebergslim9278 It would be really hard to do tbh although I don’t think all of them are lying. I think some actually experience something unexplainable.
In our country a retired cardiologist did years of research by collecting the story´s of patients. He wrote a book about his study. His name is Pim van Lommel. @@jesustalkspace
thats correct. thats probably why its called "experience" ;-)@@icebergslim9278
Cliffs is the only dude that makes me want to know less just so he can open my eyes in public. 😂😅 Just kidding, but honestly this man is a gift to humanity.
Keep doing great works Cliffe very inspiring to spread the gospel to anyone anywhere and you have helped me with hard questions of my own and of other people
I love it....!! Do more videos of you open air preaching outside of just colleges. This was great to see.
Spread the gospel to everyone especially your family and friends
Cliffe’s still on fire after so many years of ministry, amazing to see
@@Theo_Skeptomai Yes?
@@Theo_Skeptomai sorry, friend, I am in college and was busy today. Before I answer you, I’d like to clarify exactly what type of evidence would suit your definition of “evidentiary fact.” The reality is Cliffe gives lots of evidence for belief in a god, but if you’re a hardened skeptic I’m willing to bet that what you’re looking for is something neither I nor anyone else could give you.
@@Theo_Skeptomai sure, provide an example, I’m not sure I totally grasp what you mean
@@Theo_Skeptomai okay, here’s something that I would consider demonstrable, though you may disagree.
The existence of intricate and highly ordered natural phenomena, such as the fine-tuning of the universe for life, is suggestive of a purposeful creator.
I would say this statement is both logical and demonstrable, seeing that we can clearly observe the mentioned intricate phenomena. To believe that intricate order can come from a mindless universe is doubtful to me.
@@Theo_Skeptomai I don’t understand why you are so hung up on presenting evidence in this particular way. I’d be interested to hear why.
OMG thank you Through this video I understand something I wasn't able to understand before.
Love the fact that you have taken your gifting to NYC!
Bless you guys. ❤
In generally, I really liked the video. Answers were firm, concise, caring and scriptural.
.
The one response that surprised me was when Cliff said he's "back off" talking about abortion in the case of rape or incest. That is inconsistent with the belief that the baby is a full human being with rights and value from the moment of conception. Two wrongs (rape / incest + abortion) don't make a right. I'd like to hear Cliff's explanation for why he said that. I didn't expect that kind of answer based on past video and even the content of his argument in this video. The origin of the sperm cell is not relevant to the value of the human life.
Yes, the abortion issue is a highly contentious one, do you think young girls who, in your opinion murder their babies via abortion should go to prison for life for the murder of their unborn babies?
@@bonnie43uk First off, abortion is by definition the taking of an innocent human life, thats not an opinion. Secondly, most women are lied to and coerced, intent matters. The "doctors" namely that encourage it should be held accountable.
@@dited358 I've never seen a dictionary definition of abortion including the words "taking of an innocent human life", I suspect you've added that yourself. A fertilized egg is in no way shape or form anything that resembles an actual human being, you could not distinguish it from a fertilized cow, dog, giraffe elephant in it's early stages. Women/girls who find themselves pregnant against their wishes will go to any lengths to prevent the pregnancy, it has little to do with coercion.. you avoided answering whether you think a woman should go to prison for killing what you regard as a baby. I appreciate your views though, thanks.
@@bonnie43uk I would ask you, if the law says abortion is perfectly legal, does God give His approval? Are you seeking God's approval or man's?
@@bonnie43uk , no because it's the doctors who perform the actual killing. They are the ones who should be punished. They are violating their Hippocratic oath which states, "First, do no harm."
.
The women have been sadly deluded by modern feministic rhetoric to think of the child as only a clump of cells and by abortion providers who should be the last line of defense for innocent human life. I support both the babies and their mothers in choosing life. I do this with my time, talent, and treasure through crisis pregnancy centers that provide care, both pre and post natal, as well as resources. I do not just "Talk the talk"... I walk the walk.
.
What do you think should happen to people who take innocent human life when there are alternatives?
Cliffe has been such a blessing in my journey with Christ. I am extremely grateful for his videos!! I can say with no doubt 100% JESUS IS REAL. JESUS IS KING!
Keep doing what you are doing man! You are spreading the word the right way. Amen!
Exciting to see recents
God bless & protect you Cliffe
Het Woord is van alle tijden. ❤Broeder, ik heb grote bewondering voor het geduld dat je hebt om iets uit te leggen. Als ze het niet begrijpen , of niet willen horen zijn ze niet van God.❤
I'm learning English and learn about Jesus Christ my saviour ❤
I love these type of videos. Very engaging and informative. Great job.
I love this man. I listen to him every day, and he has made me think of things i never would have that way.
ይህን ሰው ባገኘው ምኞቴ ነው ስለዚህም የአንድ አምላክ ትክክለኛ ትርጉም ልነግረው። እንደ አለመታደል ሆኖ አሮጌው እና አዲሱ ምስክርነት ተበላሽቷል ምክንያቱም በቤተክርስቲያን ውስጥ ብዙ አማልክትን ወይም ጣዖትን ማምለክ ስላለው
And yet... this verse in the Bible.
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."
There is nothing that starts or ends that God is not in divine control of. He’s not saying God will end, he’s saying God is what is behind there even being a beginning or end- He is the orchestrater of time, therefore He literally is, by definition, the beginning and end.
Love it, many financial blessings to you Cliffe.
God bless Cliffe always speaking with grace and truth. thank you jesus.
Come to Houston 🙌🙌🙌
I was with you on the abortion issue up until around @21:00, but I don’t follow where you backed off in the case for rape/incest, saying that “Jesus showed compassion to people who were in horrible situations…” while yes, if a person truly repents for having an abortion, forgiveness is possible through the blood Jesus spilled, but ending a life is ending a life period. There is no moral gray area there.
I like his approach respectful and loving! I've seen preachers who were not this way .I think someone explaining things and listening is great .I am subscribed to this channel and I have learned so much ! Thank you Cliff !!!
I have learned so much in the last few days watching this channel
So disappointed in Cliff when he was talking about abortion in the cases of rape/incest and he said “I’d back off at that point”. So disappointed to hear he is pro choice. You dont counter an evil with another evil.
If you were raped do you have rights to do abortion ❓
@@holybible.God.jesus.holyspirit Tell me, what is abortion exactly? What’s the process of it? How do you know you have done a successful abortion? Should you ever punish the victim(s) for what the assailant did?
@@isaac7292 do you have the right to abort or kill what ever inside you just because you were raped ❓❓ tell me
Don't ask me a question, I asked first
So answer me
Common Cliffe W
Wow, awesome to see this, cliff on the streets.. of New York 🙏
This is AWESOME so good to see cliff in NYC!
Nephilim, Giants, who were defiling all creation (bloodlines)... That is why they were told to leave none alive.
Exactly!! 💯
I wish Cliff would give scripture when answering questions.
I like that you expand the object, so people can hear the gospel from any background. God bless u, Cliffe.
What a blessing this channel is!
