  • Cliffe Knechtle has a good dialogue with students at Texas State University. Recorded in October 2014.
    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.

      @Zachary D. the 20th century has caused more deaths than the previous 19 centuries put together. As the stock pile of weapons grew death grew. Evil and sin is a serious disease we all have within us. Jesus is the the doctor with the cure. If we are talking about more basic sins like theft and things like that the only reason I believe those are lower if the stats show that it is because of cameras everywhere. It makes people stop and think before committing more crimes.

    Yes! I waited a whole month for another video. Thank you brother Cliffe, God bless you and your ministry :)
    Curious to know if you have any FAQ either email or social media? I do have a ton of questions but keeping it real.
    P.S I forgot to comment, I do really enjoy non-believers such as atheists/agnostic who genuinely ask questions of our Christian faith especially when GOD had to wipe out sodom and gomorrah. These people I truly respect despite our differences in worldviews.
    I believe sodom and gomorrah was definitely a hybrid clan mixed with demons/humans who were very wicked in the eyes of the Lord, the adversary (satan) was trying to destroy the bloodline of King David to Jesus Christ.
    Bravo Cliffe, I have added you among our top Christian apologist of the century. I am so blessed to witness this in my 30s. I continue to thank our Lord and Savior for our Christian men of Faith who are delivery the living Jesus Christ to this dying world.
    Kind regards.

    I wonder if the technology guy has gone back today to see what he said and then see 2 billion in destruction this last year and the growing hate in our country. The destruction of the moral fabric God introduced is causing more division and violence as time goes. Also technology is decreasing empathy in our society as time goes. We need person to person contact, and person to person relationships, and person to person love.

    Here's a big problem with the lower rate of murders as an indicator of increased human civility and progress: If medical technology was the same today as in 1960, the number of murder rate would be 5 times higher.
    So murder rates being lower is due to medical progress, not due to increased civility and compassion -- and CERTAINLY not due to lack of effort on the part of the killers.

Doesn't Ryan know that with one push of a button our whole earth can be destroyed? The arguments against Christ today have become so silly and I say silly because it seems to me to be appropriate for the child like level of the reasoning I am witnessing. It's scary actually.

    I think Cliffe has a naive view of morality and pantheism and panentheism. Although it would be absurd to think that murder and abuse is wrong if you look the way Cliffe looks at in pantheism and panentheism however there are different ways in which moraity can be accounted for in these views.
    a) By murdering, the part of the God that is murdering is not inconsistent with his God nature. Hence it is wrong.
    b) By murdering a part of God, he is doing wrong, even though he himself be a part of God.
    c) Morality is not judged wholly by victims and perperators but also actions.

    In Answer to the title of the video Q: Are men and women animals? Essentially yes, we are. It may seem as if we are separate from the rest of the animal kingdom, but there is a wealth of evidence to say that we are indeed animals, albeit highly evolved ones with an incredibly powerful brain which is probably the biggest thing which sets us apart from other animals, we have that ability to think and to reason far beyond what other animals are capable of.

    • @bonnie43uk
      @bonnie43uk 8 лет назад

      jrc99us Hi jrc, always good to hear from you. Yes, indeed we are essentially animals, we share a common ancestor with apes and chimpanzee's, this is pretty much common knowledge in areas of science such as anatomy, biology, anthropology, zoology, just type in 'human being' or 'homo sapiens' into google and you will see more detailed information about this on hundreds of web pages that would take you more than a week to read. eg: I just typed in homo sapiens, and Google came up with well over 15 million pages.. how long would it take an average person to read all that?, we are probably talking years. So yes, i would call that a wealth of evidence. And of course, you don't have to accept any of it as credible proof, you can do your own research and publish your own papers for peer review if you so wish. DNA analysis also confirms our origins, all humans initially came from a certain district of Africa, from there, we spread all over the globe over hundreds of thousands of years. It's an amazing story.

    • @bonnie43uk
      @bonnie43uk 8 лет назад

      It's only a waste if Cliffe doesn't get to give the gospel to these students. Objectives matter. In this case, I think he helps Cliffe more than hurts.
      Second point. If he hears this over & over with every question answered, the odds of him or someone in the crowd accepting Christ is higher. This is also very good.
      Third point. When he reaches the end, he ends up giving Cliffe exactly what the truth is about himself. Cliffe makes a very sound point that kid won't forget soon. What he does with that will determine his eternity. At least he has a chance.
      We aren't here to win, just convert. I hope to see him in heaven. God Bless.
