hey horse, a great book to read (ive studied the bible for 36 years) is Dr. Hugh Ross, IMPROBABLE PLANET - he is the #1 astrophysicist in the world today, a former atheist who took college classes at the age of 12. His discovery of the complexities that make up this universe - pretty much prove the existence of an intelligent mind. Or Dr. Collins Head of National Institute for Health and his discovery of the gnome factor that shows computer data written code in the DNA of evey human, AMAZING - and great to use when these people say "prove it" well if they believe in science - how about some of the greatest scientists? Also, it amazes me how these people say, what about buddha? when they dont even know who he was or his practice. sir shahidma gothama (buddha) never said there was a god, nor looked for one, and the last week of his life he said again he did not know if there was a god, buddhism is a practice of life, but these college type kids "what about buddha" - put him in a place of god and DONT EVEN KNOW who he was. - Knowledge is power keep growing - especially in the word. God bless you.
Cliffe speaks in such coherent sentences, he has all his words put together and knows exactly what he wants to say while still maintaining his politeness. It amazes me how he is able to speak this way and keep his composure when people are looking for nothing but an argument and don't admit they are wrong. God bless you and your son; thank you for spreading the true word of God and helping me open my eyes to God.
I love it whenever Cliffe brings up the "order and design" argument and illustrates it with a very clear example. In this video, he used a few: Mount Rushmore, the wristwatch, the pennies, the central nervous system, the eyes. Everybody suddenly goes real quiet because there's no denying the truth.
any optician will tell you the eye was not "intelligently designed", it has several flaws, and we also know that many animals eyes are far more superior to our limited vision.
@@bonnie43uk The reason there are opticians in the first place is because the eye is such a complex organ, some people dedicate their lives and careers to work in that field. Yes, there are definitely deficiencies and anomalies that can happen but it doesn't take away the complexity of they eyes' mechanism and structure. As to "superior vision", some people are born blind and I would argue that I have a far superior vision than theirs. This argument, like yours, has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.
@@onesimonly7423 I'm certainly not denying the eye is a complex organ, it most definitely is, but if it's supposed to be "intelligently designed" by some superior being, that superior being made some major flaws. Again, ask an optician. Or simply type into a search engine "flaws of the human eye". At no point did I say those flaws take away the complexity of the eye. It's amazingly complex .. and flawed, like many other parts of the human body.
@@onesimonly7423 fair warning, despite bonnie43uk's pretense at being polite, this is just a person that will keep you talking for as long as you'll do it. You'll start to notice that you say one thing but that he responds as if you said something else. It's so predictable that there's little point in assuming he's made an error.

Spiritual blindness is real. Salvation is God's work. He planted the seed to those folks, now hopefully they recieve Christ for the forgiveness of their sin.
Cliffe is talking to Believing God's words, but not "receiving Jesus" per se Abraham BELIEVED God! and it was accounted TO HIM as righteousness. (Genesis + Romans) Do we receive Jesus, and claim we're Christian; or are we really really BELIEVING HIM?? There's a huge difference, I'm trying to make clear. I believe God because HE made Himself real to me! Later, He gave me His words to read. I trust his words. ☆☆☆☆!
It amazes me ever since I became a Christian that people can't look around and tell that there's a God. Pray ye therefore the Lord God of Israel will remove the veil from your eyes
They can tell. They don’t want to believe. To paraphrase: They hate the light, because they love the darkness. Remember, you and I and every other Christian was the same way at one point. I’m not saying that you indeed think you’re “better”, but do keep in mind that we’re not different from unbelievers. Don’t get a big head. The only thing that separates us is our faith, which ultimately is itself a gift from God. We’re no more deserving of His love, and we’re in no less need of His grace.
The way Pastor Cliffs debates these students & takes all d stuff dey throw at him, is evidence of how God created each of us with a gift, we're unique. Some of the students attempt to embarrass him & ridicule him, but Pastor Cliffe looks like he doesn't even know it & just keeps on going. He listens to dem, den he talks. It's AMAZING
I see that there are 3 kinds of people that Cliffe Deals with. 1. People who don't want to believe that god exists. 2. people who don't believe Jesus exists. and 3. People who don't want to believe that Jesus is God. Cliffe god bless you for giving your life to help our God save people. you are definitely an angel of god who fights for him. Thank you
These were GOOD questions!! I am learning SO much from you guys in defending the faith! Thank you so much for not only standing up for what we believe, but also for equipping us!
Man!! Cliffe you are the man truly being used by God! I don’t know if I could do it like you’re doing it! Those kids were making me mad!! Not using their mind to think but only to argue. Not really listening to learn but to give a rebuttal! Logic has gone out the window even on college campuses! Thank you for showing patience and responding to EVERY QUESTION with grace, truth and appropriate attitudes at times!!

Thank you!!!!!! That was absolutely disgusting. What evil. May she be healed and restored physically and emotionally and and justice be rightly served.
You will find that when debating any atheist, they will just jump from one weak deflective argument to the next. Never taking accountability, or even conceding a point, they will just say "I still think this and that". The problem is not intellectual, the problem is with their emotions and conscience.
That's what religious people don't get about atheists. They're not trying to argue their case, they're trying to argue against yours. Atheism isn't a religion pre se, although it leads to some very wonky pseudo-religions as a consequence. "it could be osiris or isis" isn't an argument for their way of seeing things, it is an argument against yours, and it is a valid argument.
That glasses guy did not enter the conversation with an open mind, i could see that from the jump... but seriously, mad respect to Cliffe and his son for dealing with things like this so often.
The translation argument is often stated as a game of telephone tag. My neighbor is bilingual. She speaks English and Spanish. When she is on the phone to speaks Spanish with her relatives. I don't know what she is saying while I am over to her house. But when she hangs up the telephone, she explains what she was saying in English. She may have to use a different word going from one language to another, but it doesn't affect at all the message. So it was with Aramaic and Greek in the New Testament.
Nearly repeating my last comment but it’s so scary how people take things they have heard as truth when they know absolutely nothing of the facts . It’s so ignorant they don’t know the first thing about how accurate the scriptures are and how we can PROVE they say the same things they said 2000 years ago.
~11:00 This is interesting. She says people wrote about Jesus without knowing him. When confronted with the 5+ people who walked with and learned directly from Jesus, she scoffs and writes it off. What is the actual root of her questions? She asks for info, but ignores and rejects it the moment it is offered. Points to there being something deeper than her surface questions.
@@spades9115 definitely felt it too. When this happens, gotta take a step back and look at the situation outside of yourself, without emotion as much as possible and with a calm answer. What is she actually asking? Super hard to do when someone is so rude- usually it's from hurting people, but sometimes it's just wanting to start a fight bc they like the emotional high.
thankfully there are people like Cliff who displays incredible patience & tolerance towards "self-entitled" "self-righteous" "condemning" persons like this cocky lady ... may she be truly in search of the truth & not just another basher engrossed with oozing self-aggrandizing pride.

Thank you for being another person. Taking one scripture, twisting its context to make what you want out of it. Sorry, that's not how it works. First of all, because Christ took on humanity with his divinity, so, as he was walking the Earth among us living as as being as us, but not sinning, he was showing us how to live life sin free, but still depending on the father and the Holy Spirit to lead him to strengthen him. Etc. Do you get the point now? And yes, he did declare himself God with the I m's in several places, including were recorded from the Old Testament. So I'm sorry. Don't make yourself a fool by China.

@@josephpurdy8390 When reading the New Testament it seems so obvious at times that Jesus is God and equal with the Father.[1] But, in other passages, his full divinity is more ambiguous. I believe that Jesus’ full divinity can be more clearly seen when we compare certain Old Testament verses with corresponding New Testament verses. To do this we need to recognise God’s Name in Scripture. There is only one true, supreme God-the God of the Bible-and his Name is YHWH. YHWH is usually translated as LORD (all capital letters) in English translations of the Hebrew Bible, the Old Testament. Most good Bible versions explain this translation in their preface. Check it out. Out of reverence for the holiness of God, Jews stopped saying God’s Name a couple of hundred years BC, so the correct pronunciation of YHWH is uncertain.[2] The Hebrew language does not contain vowels, but we can ascertain that the first syllable of God’s Name is pronounced “Yah” because it is found in the word Hallelujah (or Halleluyah). Hallelujah means “Praise the LORD” or, more correctly, “Praise YHWH”. Some Christians pronounce YHWH as “Yahweh”.[3] Yahweh means: “I Am who I Am.” God explained his Name to Moses during the burning bush encounter when he commissioned Moses to free Israel from Egyptian bondage (Exodus 3:13-15).

Also, it amazes me how these people say, what about buddha? when they dont even know who he was or his practice. sir shahidma gothama (buddha) never said there was a god, nor looked for one, and the last week of his life he said again he did not know if there was a god, buddhism is a practice of life, but these college type kids "what about buddha" - put him in a place of god and DONT EVEN KNOW who he was. - Knowledge is power keep growing - especially in the word. God bless you.
Thank you Jesus for Cliff in this world.
I'll be able to watch this before I go into work. God bless everyone.
Thank you. You too! Have an amazing day/night at work.
May God continue to bless you as well, friend!
God bless you too! I actually watch this while I’m at work 😊
Cliffe speaks in such coherent sentences, he has all his words put together and knows exactly what he wants to say while still maintaining his politeness. It amazes me how he is able to speak this way and keep his composure when people are looking for nothing but an argument and don't admit they are wrong. God bless you and your son; thank you for spreading the true word of God and helping me open my eyes to God.
Cliffs patient is so good…that kid made me so angry he didn’t even want to learn he just wanted to argue for attention
12:31 Cliff was so patient with this guy. Mad respect for him. 😭
ANOTHER CLIFF BANGER LETS GOOO!!!
Faxxx 🤩
I love it whenever Cliffe brings up the "order and design" argument and illustrates it with a very clear example. In this video, he used a few: Mount Rushmore, the wristwatch, the pennies, the central nervous system, the eyes. Everybody suddenly goes real quiet because there's no denying the truth.
any optician will tell you the eye was not "intelligently designed", it has several flaws, and we also know that many animals eyes are far more superior to our limited vision.
@@bonnie43uk The reason there are opticians in the first place is because the eye is such a complex organ, some people dedicate their lives and careers to work in that field. Yes, there are definitely deficiencies and anomalies that can happen but it doesn't take away the complexity of they eyes' mechanism and structure.
As to "superior vision", some people are born blind and I would argue that I have a far superior vision than theirs. This argument, like yours, has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.
@@onesimonly7423 I'm certainly not denying the eye is a complex organ, it most definitely is, but if it's supposed to be "intelligently designed" by some superior being, that superior being made some major flaws. Again, ask an optician. Or simply type into a search engine "flaws of the human eye". At no point did I say those flaws take away the complexity of the eye. It's amazingly complex .. and flawed, like many other parts of the human body.
@@onesimonly7423 fair warning, despite bonnie43uk's pretense at being polite, this is just a person that will keep you talking for as long as you'll do it.
You'll start to notice that you say one thing but that he responds as if you said something else. It's so predictable that there's little point in assuming he's made an error. He INTENDS to garble your point just so you'll take the time to correct you.
He'll say or do anything to keep you going and it's just for his own personal amusement .
He's using you for fun.
@@saintpaulofyoutube4416 Hey man, thanks for the heads up! I'm well aware of this person's intentions. I've had dead-end conversations with them in the past. Whenever I see their name I know it's going to be a pointless interaction. Just stirring things up for the sake of it, without ever trying to know our pov. To be honest, there are a quite a few in askcliffe's comment section. Anyway, I appreciate people like you for warning others, God bless you!
Spiritual blindness is real. Salvation is God's work. He planted the seed to those folks, now hopefully they recieve Christ for the forgiveness of their sin.
Cliffe is talking to Believing God's words, but not "receiving Jesus" per se
Abraham BELIEVED God! and it was accounted TO HIM as righteousness.
(Genesis + Romans)
Do we receive Jesus, and claim we're Christian; or are we really really BELIEVING HIM??
There's a huge difference, I'm trying to make clear.
I believe God because HE made Himself real to me!
Later, He gave me His words to read.
I trust his words.
☆☆☆☆!
It amazes me ever since I became a Christian that people can't look around and tell that there's a God. Pray ye therefore the Lord God of Israel will remove the veil from your eyes
😢😮
Amen
Take a look at trees and bronchial airways sometime. It blows my mind to observe His creation.
@@TheBriarWolf it makes you wanna know more about him
They can tell. They don’t want to believe. To paraphrase: They hate the light, because they love the darkness. Remember, you and I and every other Christian was the same way at one point. I’m not saying that you indeed think you’re “better”, but do keep in mind that we’re not different from unbelievers. Don’t get a big head. The only thing that separates us is our faith, which ultimately is itself a gift from God. We’re no more deserving of His love, and we’re in no less need of His grace.
Cliffe is so intelligent and this man has guts. Protect this man at all costs. ❤❤
What a pleasure enjoying watching a Cliff's video while having lunch, may the Lord bless this ministry
I love listening to Cliffe Knechtle.
The way Pastor Cliffs debates these students & takes all d stuff dey throw at him, is evidence of how God created each of us with a gift, we're unique. Some of the students attempt to embarrass him & ridicule him, but Pastor Cliffe looks like he doesn't even know it & just keeps on going. He listens to dem, den he talks. It's AMAZING
MAN , Bro . Cliff is GOOD ! God Bless Him. !
Lord has blessed you with the patience I must practice. Thank-you Cliffe!🕊️🙏🏼💞
The way he says “Alright, have a good day” to the hippie guy and then gets back to the convo was perfect.
I see that there are 3 kinds of people that Cliffe Deals with. 1. People who don't want to believe that god exists. 2. people who don't believe Jesus exists. and 3. People who don't want to believe that Jesus is God. Cliffe god bless you for giving your life to help our God save people. you are definitely an angel of god who fights for him. Thank you
These were GOOD questions!! I am learning SO much from you guys in defending the faith! Thank you so much for not only standing up for what we believe, but also for equipping us!
Cliff definitely has spirit of patience..And passionate about our Lord🙏🏼🙌🏼
Cliffe is at the perfect place and needs to continue what he does if this is the kind of dialogue that is produced by his travel
Man!! Cliffe you are the man truly being used by God! I don’t know if I could do it like you’re doing it! Those kids were making me mad!! Not using their mind to think but only to argue. Not really listening to learn but to give a rebuttal! Logic has gone out the window even on college campuses! Thank you for showing patience and responding to EVERY QUESTION with grace, truth and appropriate attitudes at times!! As believers of Jesus, we want to respond with love and often love requires not letting folks just walk over you and saying any crazy thing they want! No, not today!! Good job Sir!!
When you stand on grace through faith (Ephesians2:8-9) alone, you will be blessed with resilience and conviction for your whole life. Cliffe is teaching sound biblical and doctrinal truth. Gods got him!
Cliff is savage…. He did the rational mind thingy to the same crowd….😂😂😂
He said: " You triggered my trap card !!!"
Protect cliffe at all cost!
We need more people like Cliffe!
Brother Cliff, Thank you for all you do. You are the best!❤
Such great moments for Jesus here!
Love you Cliffe, thank you for what you do. Hope I can meet you one day.
God bless you sir.
oh geez, this was recorded the year and season i was born on. Mans has been doing gods work for a looong time god bless him.
GOD BLESS YOU Cliffe, you’ve got patience 🙏🏽🔥
I have to give you credit Cliffe, your tolerance of and patience with "stupid" is orders of magnitude superior to mine.
Thank you Lord Jesus for blessing cliffe, with your wisdom in a time when it is most needed.
When that guy left and cliffs went “alright have a good day” I lost it 😂😂
@@j_p_jr.487 You're right on top of it, Sparky. Finally admitted he can't prove God? He pretty much admits he can't prove God in every conversation he has.
@@Echo-cy3gn Cliffe has never claimed he could prove God exists. He has only stated that he believes there is sufficient evidence to support the existence of God. I hope that by this point in your life you understand the difference between evidence and proof.
Apparently some people haven’t watched enough to realize he’s not trying to prove Gods existence but supply evidence to there being a divine creator just as he’s said many times over you can’t prove anything @j_p_jr.487
Right @@OdysseyAquarius
@@j_p_jr.487its almost like in almost every video someone asks the same thing to prove God exists and Cliffs response is he cannot but he believes there’s enough evidence that there is one😱
Lord bless Cliff with wisdom above his oppressors
He answers so eloquently!!! 💕✝️🙏
Thank you!!!!!! That was absolutely disgusting. What evil. May she be healed and restored physically and emotionally and and justice be rightly served.
Bless you Cliffe.
Pastor Cliffe, always outstanding every time challenging atheist hypocrisy 😂 God Bless him.
Whey do you say this he talks for the sake of talking
I wish i could go around with cliffe.......What a man and a father
“His two handsome ears” Cliffe is so sweet I love him ❤
Oh how I love how Cliff confronts. I was just like these decided minds ...glory be he set me free ❤
Aathiest hippy "i dont believe there's a God."
Same atheist hippy " it could be Osiris or Isis"
This mans pride is off the charts
You will find that when debating any atheist, they will just jump from one weak deflective argument to the next. Never taking accountability, or even conceding a point, they will just say "I still think this and that". The problem is not intellectual, the problem is with their emotions and conscience.
Brain fry! He has no business being in any university! But one day he will see his life passing through his eyes!
He contradicted himself 😂😂😂
He will say anything to disprove what cliffe is saying. Doesnt matter if its coherent with his own words or statements in the past.
That's what religious people don't get about atheists. They're not trying to argue their case, they're trying to argue against yours. Atheism isn't a religion pre se, although it leads to some very wonky pseudo-religions as a consequence. "it could be osiris or isis" isn't an argument for their way of seeing things, it is an argument against yours, and it is a valid argument.
Cliffe's patience is out of this world.
Elvis Costello at the end thought he had Cliff on the ledge😂
Cliffe , GOD Bless you for standing up to GOD'S Love and Peace.
❤❤❤
Thanks to GOD for sending people gifted with Christ-like patience and love .GOD bless you!❤
Love this guy ❤
Cliffe's patience 🔥
One of the obstacles to witnessing is the show me prof argument. I’m learning from this channel how to overcome the fear of this argument.
That dude on glasses though 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 he wasn't annoying he was just so plain stupid it became a comic.
I love Cliff and am sooo thankful for him and his ministry.
god bless you cliffe.
Thanks Guys.
That glasses guy did not enter the conversation with an open mind, i could see that from the jump... but seriously, mad respect to Cliffe and his son for dealing with things like this so often.
The translation argument is often stated as a game of telephone tag. My neighbor is bilingual. She speaks English and Spanish. When she is on the phone to speaks Spanish with her relatives. I don't know what she is saying while I am over to her house. But when she hangs up the telephone, she explains what she was saying in English. She may have to use a different word going from one language to another, but it doesn't affect at all the message. So it was with Aramaic and Greek in the New Testament.
Thanks to Cliffe my faith came back
Glad your back in the faith brother keep being strong and courageous and let no one doubt you in your faith
I can’t believe it ended so abruptly I wanted to see more😭
Nearly repeating my last comment but it’s so scary how people take things they have heard as truth when they know absolutely nothing of the facts . It’s so ignorant they don’t know the first thing about how accurate the scriptures are and how we can PROVE they say the same things they said 2000 years ago.
Bravo, Cliffe! Praise God from Whom all blessing flow, including His equipping you for evangelism and apologetics!
~11:00
This is interesting. She says people wrote about Jesus without knowing him. When confronted with the 5+ people who walked with and learned directly from Jesus, she scoffs and writes it off.
What is the actual root of her questions? She asks for info, but ignores and rejects it the moment it is offered. Points to there being something deeper than her surface questions.
Her questioning and moving of the goal posts makes me so absurdly angry. She hops around HARD
@@spades9115 definitely felt it too. When this happens, gotta take a step back and look at the situation outside of yourself, without emotion as much as possible and with a calm answer. What is she actually asking?
Super hard to do when someone is so rude- usually it's from hurting people, but sometimes it's just wanting to start a fight bc they like the emotional high.
thankfully there are people like Cliff who displays incredible patience & tolerance towards "self-entitled" "self-righteous" "condemning" persons like this cocky lady ... may she be truly in search of the truth & not just another basher engrossed with oozing self-aggrandizing pride.
Some people hate God so much. I used to be just like that. It’s so sad. They have no idea what they’re missing.
Gracias padre celestial por poner los videos de este hombre en mi camino! Gracias Dios por todo lo que haces por nosotros ❤ que se haga tu voluntad hoy y siempre
Cliffe’s passion is infectious
Lol that smug woman was so sure of herself until she had to prove her girl math.
God Bless This Beautiful Amazing Gospel teaching family 🥰🥰🤍🤍🤍🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you. B1
Amen, brother. may God bless you and your family and ministry .
Nothing hits like early Cliffe videos 😂
God wrote the Ten Commandments with His hands of fire.
Exodus 20🔥
Yes and he put his laws in our hearts as well
Get em Cliffe......Be the fisher of men my brother in Christ
Cliffe Rocks!
Cliff is definitely on my list of people I would want to have dinner with.
I don't know how Cliff tolerates the smug arrogance of some people.

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

Cliffe is so good at this!
OH! I can hear Bonnie and Co. (the resident trolls) throwing a fit already! They will loudly declare that you can be a moral relativist-AND that everyone knows that some things are just wrong! Just wait for it...

They're always right on cue, aren't they? Like clockwork and with religious zeal! Me thinks they doth protest too much! (Acts 9:5, 7:54, John 3:19-20, Romans 2:14-15)
@@jessebryant9233 But Jessie can't be religious zeal. If it was religious zeal, does that means they would be religious and to be religious. Generally, you have to believe in something and hold a faith. Will the face? Oh so I guess it can't be them, can it?😊
@askcliffe Thank you Cliffe for your witness but also your leadership under frustrating conditions. Great example.
12:08 scientific methods destroyed 😂. I don’t want to put a smack but Wisdom comes from GOD.
Who I am is not important dear - The important thing is who GOD is, and one's relationship with Him.
Riff raff was cooked by Cliffe 😂
Cliffy is an absolute beast!
Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”
18 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. 19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ ”
CAN ANYONE OF YOU AND YOUR GREAT BIBIL SCHOOLAR SHOW US WHERE JESUS PEACE BE UPON HIM SAID NOT ; I AM GOD AND I DIE FOR YOUR SIN OR I DO ANYTHING IN MY ONE POWER.
Thank you for being another person. Taking one scripture, twisting its context to make what you want out of it. Sorry, that's not how it works. First of all, because Christ took on humanity with his divinity, so, as he was walking the Earth among us living as as being as us, but not sinning, he was showing us how to live life sin free, but still depending on the father and the Holy Spirit to lead him to strengthen him. Etc. Do you get the point now? And yes, he did declare himself God with the I m's in several places, including were recorded from the Old Testament. So I'm sorry. Don't make yourself a fool by China. Sounds smart. Read scriptures in context.
@@OurSavior-xr3yc Then list all the verses in which Jesus Christ made this proclamation.
@@josephpurdy8390 I made 3 correct proclamations as you put it.
So before I can list scriptures? Which one you referring to I can't do them all here RUclips but delete it prior delete the 1 I will leave for ala attempt to they don't like me giving scripture, sometimes nor do they like me, giving information out about God a lot, when it comes to this kind of thing. But I'll be happy to do it. Just answer my question. Which proclamation the proof that he came to walk as a human or evidence of that fact the proof that he was staying to be God or the proof that he was messiah. What were you asking me to show?
@@josephpurdy8390 When reading the New Testament it seems so obvious at times that Jesus is God and equal with the Father.[1] But, in other passages, his full divinity is more ambiguous. I believe that Jesus’ full divinity can be more clearly seen when we compare certain Old Testament verses with corresponding New Testament verses. To do this we need to recognise God’s Name in Scripture.
There is only one true, supreme God-the God of the Bible-and his Name is YHWH. YHWH is usually translated as LORD (all capital letters) in English translations of the Hebrew Bible, the Old Testament. Most good Bible versions explain this translation in their preface. Check it out.
Out of reverence for the holiness of God, Jews stopped saying God’s Name a couple of hundred years BC, so the correct pronunciation of YHWH is uncertain.[2] The Hebrew language does not contain vowels, but we can ascertain that the first syllable of God’s Name is pronounced “Yah” because it is found in the word Hallelujah (or Halleluyah). Hallelujah means “Praise the LORD” or, more correctly, “Praise YHWH”. Some Christians pronounce YHWH as “Yahweh”.[3]
Yahweh means: “I Am who I Am.” God explained his Name to Moses during the burning bush encounter when he commissioned Moses to free Israel from Egyptian bondage (Exodus 3:13-15). God’s Name, the “I Am”, gives a sense of the enigmatic, transcendent and eternal nature of God (cf. Rev. 1:8).When reading the New Testament it seems so obvious at times that Jesus is God and equal with the Father.[1] But, in other passages, his full divinity is more ambiguous.

Three infinite and eternal persons belong to this Godhead called Yahweh: (1) the Father, (2) the Son, Jesus Christ, and (3) the Holy Spirit. These three persons are bound closely together in unity of power and purpose, and are often referred to as the Trinity. Yahweh is one God made up of three persons.
Sorry, in advance. Sometimes RUclips post or paste twice something when a person doesn't paste it, so you might see a duplicate.
You can tell when someone feels defensive and losing. They start getting loud and talking over people. I give cliff a pat on the back because idk how he stays so well put together
“I can’t prove the Big Bang happened but through faith I believe this occurred based on the evidence presented
“- every scientist
Ugh yea Christian’s alike have the same faith that we can’t prove God but through faith in Christ I believe based on the evidence presented
That dude at 12:32 has to be a paid actor. There's no way anyone is genuinely that much of a caricature of themselves xD
This man has more patience than me, This woman is pissing me off, she is not seeking truth she just wants to argue.
I used to think that Cliff was a college professor who taught the Bible, but I have come to understand he visits colleges to educate and advise people on the Gospel and to choose faith in Jesus.
