This first guy is very rare. Credit to him for being willing to thoughtfully consider Cliffs point of view. Most non believers hide behind inconsistent arguments because they so desperately don’t want to proclaim Jesus as Lord.
There was a time when verbally speaking out against accepting Jesus, as Lord and Savior, meant: heresy. You - "They so desperately don't want to proclaim Jesus (my god) as Lord." How dare they.? Response - It grinds your gears, when someone doesn't want to accept your god, doesn't it.?

Before 2022/2023, i called my self a so called "christian" then i started actually reading the bible, and studying, and watching cliffes videos, and i realized i was not living my life as a christian, i was living my life as a lier. I've started taking it more seriously now, and have started going to church, im re reading the bible throughout the year, and im so happy because of it. Thank you
I alway tell people now it’s a difference between knowing GOD and actually knowing GOD… anybody can say they know and believe in GOD, but actually knowing GOD means knowing his word and living out his word daily knowing his will it’s hard but as long as you got GOD on your side he makes it easier… so with that been said I’m like you…
Correct, and most importantly, always follow God, not man's ways. There's nothing wrong with some tradition as long as it doesn't go above. God and his word wants. It becomes a man's tradition overguards. Were then you start down the road? Of disaster, so God bless you on your research.
I loved the first kid. He was respectful, raised very challenging questions without being smug or trying to catch Cliff in some elaborate trap. He had genuine questions, listened, AND when it didn’t make sense to him and had objections, he asked follow-up questions remaining respectful. I certainly hope he walked away with more questions, and a desire to seek the answers.
He is so close you can practically taste his belief growing, amazing to see, God's plan for him is unique and we simply cannot understand that, but we can understand his yearning because we all have had/have/will have that same desire. praise the lord❤
Yes that's a curious thing. I've noticed how deep a belief many atheists/naturalists have. They have such faith that if only science has a little more time it can find the truth of their naturalist belief. Evolution is a great example. No one has proof how life started, but it simply "must" have occurred chemically in that primordial soup. No one has proof how one species can drastically evolve into another, and no one can (or will) answer the biochemical genius James Tour's questions. No one can answer how or why there appears to be something like digital code in our DNA, or how, in case it's natural, how both the information storage (DNA) could evolve by small, gradual mutation simultaneously with the decoder mechanisms (RNA), such that the magical information can be expressed as proteins. I'm going out on a limb here, but to my mind there's a chance that evolution is akin to a flat earth model or Newtonian physics. Good in isolation, but misses the bigger picture. Like ... flat earth models are great when you're building a normal house, here you don't have to account for the Earth's curvature. But what if evolutionary theory can't explain 1) the origin of life and 2) how one species can transform into a fundamentally different one? Well, it would leave evolution as a theory that explains an admittedly huge variability, from wolf to doberman to Chihuahua. To explain the rest we might need a completely new theory for life (or maybe a rather old one😊)
My granddaughter is 11 years old and found Cliff's videos and as a result of watching him and listening she has decided she wants a closer relationship to God! Awesome job Cliff! Your definitely drawing them in all ages! I already take her to church and she says grace over ebery meal no matter where we are! Praise God
There is no greater love than to take your time and dedicate your life to serving God by explaining to people of his existence and the fact that if any of us die without receiving Christ as our lord and savior we’re going to end up spending eternity without him. I love listening to Cliffe answer hard questions; it brightens my understanding and pushes me to continue preaching.🙏 God bless your ministry 🙏
You’re right. As Christians, We all witness in different ways and are all called to win souls for Jesus. It’s not just preaching but also reflecting Jesus Christ by how we carry ourselves in accordance with his teachings. Basically we are all called to serve him: it’s just in different ways for each one of us according to your gifts and talents.🙏
@@jasonnoble7302 Those who do such will be greatly judged and will be sent to hell forever. You will join them if you don’t repent from mocking the gospel.
Algorithms do not lie.... they lead you to want you are searching for. As a believer in Christ since 2006.....as of lately I have been working on being a person of integrity and communicating with kindness. Pastor Cliffe videos encourages me that it can be done. You can disagree with others without belittling them or degrading them. I'm glad I can watch these videos because I've always chosen to avoid conflict and that not always necessary for me. I can communicate with grace and respect for others as well as myself regardless of the topic.
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
You can tell the older cliff gets the more fluid and convincing he becomes. Not that he wasn’t these things before, he was and he was great them, but you can tell hes improved even beyond that.
"You are worshipping the search" DAM that one got me. There are always people who are on the fence who say "I just need to do more window shopping and then I'll be open to it" who claim the moral high ground of openmindedness, but never actually do and are stuck in this perpetual cycle of forever "looking" when it's staring them in the face.

I was an Agnostic, and came to believe in the existence of God by the exploration of the philosophical questions of origin, meaning, purpose and morality which can be best explained by a theistic worldview and i gave my life to Christ at the age of 18 after researching the historical, archaeological and prophetic evidence for the truth of Christianity, and have never looked back since, best decision i ever made.
Cliff, your videos are what opened my eyes to Jesus and I believe in part thanks to you, God has put ministry in my heart. My wife and I thank you and your family for what you do❤️
pls more, this is amazing and probably the best way to get young people like me to even think about god. I wish u guys the best in life and pls keep the work, you changing young lifes for good.
I truly hope I’m able to go and see Cliffe preach at his church before he retires and passes the torch to his sons. He truly is amazing to watch and listen to.
Thank you both so much for another incredible video. Every time I watch your videos I see the Holy Spirit is working through you both. May GOD bless you all. AMEN!
@@IzzyMann Go to God and pray does not answer my question You see the Holy Spirit working through “you both” because you believed you went to God and prayed ? Huh ? that doesn’t make sense 🤷♂️ I was invited here by Stewart What makes for a silly question? Is it something illogical ? What is the illogical part in my question exactly ?
Usually when Stuart talks, I wonder if the message is clear enough or down-to-earth enough for the kids to follow, and even I feel that there’s some “over-intellectualizing” happening - still really good though. But this time his explanation was superb 🙌🏽
1 Cliffe has helped increased my faith by being real life situations in the Bible … but I say he should study more a lot of answers can be answered… but it’s smart to say “Idk” then just say something u have no deep understanding on… other than that … I watch all your videos … you’re doing great 😊
Love these videos. Just wanted to say while I don’t agree with the last guy, he was VERY well-spoken and never backed down or got flustered. Good for him. Praying that God is ultimately able to use that young man’s intellect to change his own life and move God’s Kingdom forward!
What a great man. I only wish I had someone like this to take the time and effort to talk to me this way when I was younger. Then again maybe I did but was too arrogant to listen.
27 Year Old Christian Here and I wish I could have a conversation with you sooooo badly Cliffe. You’re such an inspiration and breath of fresh air in the Christian Community. I’ve been noticing SOOO MUCH fakeness coming from the Christian Pastor Giants and It’s twisting the image of what Christianity REALLY is. I honestly see that you NEED a BIGGER PLATFORM so that MANY MANY more souls can learn the ACTUAL gospel and be saved. God Bless you Cliffe
With regards to what people view as rational, that has changed massively over the past few hundred years thanks to our understanding of science. The more we learn about our origins, and the world we live in, the more rational it seems. We have much better answers to many of lifes questions.
There isn't much left to learn about our origins that will affect day to day life. Our origins are either God/some supernatural cause or we somehow sprang miraculously from lifeless matter and energy. There is no door number 3. If it's matter and energy, learning about it tells you nothing about morality or love or any of the things that make life worthwhile. It's like thinking that studying tax law will make you a good surgeon or mechanic.
Answers? That is the one thing I have observed science has not offered, you can’t get answers from naive empiricism and moral relativism. If you could share any of these new answers you say you have that are actually new and not centered around allowing the loss of values, purpose, and moral absolutes there may be a shred of likelihood to what you’re saying. I have heard people say before there are new and better answers but the answers themselves have always been very disappointing.
"The more we learn about our origins, and the world we live in, the more rational it seems. " Is that subjective opinion/feeling/exp or objectively true to reality? 1a)If subjective opinion, why should we listen to it as true to reality? b)Do we blindly “take your word for it” in faith? c)Have you ever made a mistake? d)How do you KNOW you’re not making a mistake now? 2)If objectively true to reality, it logically requires an objective (Existing independent of or external to the mind; actual or real) foundation for your claims….do you have one? Where do you get "rationality" from a godless worldview of an unguided, blind, pitiless, indifferent universe born from chance/chaos/nothingness/unknown/stardust where a rock in the road is as valuable as a person, made from the same theoretical primordial material?
Atheism has NEVER been considered "rational", especially in the dumbed down ignorant manner atheists define themselves today! And Bonnie here is utterly clueless regarding the origins questions. And if what he blindly believe were true-origins doesn't matter anyhow. Once more, good old Bonnie, hell bent on unbelief in the God of the Bible (whom he hates with a passion), demonstrates for us that he can't be either rational or consistent-that he's spent decades NOT thinking any of this through. It is the same thing, week after week, month after month, year after year. He doesn't THINK and thus fails to ever learn.
@@boltrooktwo would you prefer to live in the 17th century or the 21st century boltrook, and why? ( i did reply to you earlier this morning, but my comment has vanished)
I gotta admit I love Mr. Cliffes videos because I have a strong conviction that when the Lord Jesus said “go out and preach the gospel” (paraphrasing here) I believe this that Mr. Cliffe is doing sums it up. See he’s not arguing or fighting with these young men and women he is preaching the gospel and helping those confused minds find God and define him the best way possible. God bless you Mr. Cliffe! I learn every time I watch one of your videos too.
I like Cliffe because he makes rational common sense arguments and uses critical thinking skills to spread the word of Jesus rather than quoting scripture all the time
The first guy was the most humble atheist I’ve ever seen , he was very open minded , very respectful even though he believed what he believed this is how every conversation should be even when you have different beliefs, very heartwarming to see that , wish we all could be that way
I was an atheist from the beginning of my life.(I'm 15) I saw an Askcliffe video a few months ago on a day I was feeling like crap. I was instantly drawn in. I'm now becoming a devout Catholic.
Ryo, I am 60yrs old, raised Catholic. In my early 20’s became lost in the Baptist, Protest and AOG abyss. Early last year by happenstance, wondered in Mass… best thing that ever happened to me. Don’t listen to the ignorant about mother church. And no, we don’t worship Mary😆😂🤣
I find Gods mercy so beautiful, We are all speaking with our mouth’s constantly, most of the time we speak of vain things, but when the topic comes to bring faith or to strengthen it, You can see God just wants to bring Us Home. These people who spoke their beliefs about why they can’t understand God and the validity of them, got a nice seed of thought upon Their Existence to hopefully grow into a future shift towards Christ. My Lord Jesus, Let my Heart not be Hardened as the wicked one suggests, Amen!
I'm a Jew that has also put his faith in Jesus! Can't get enough of these apologetic videos! Let's go Jesus! Capture the hearts and minds of future generations!!!
There is a huge difference in Islam and Christianity. The fellow in the green shirt should look at Islam a simple glace will show a massive difference. It is interesting how he started, with the idea that faith is only for people who believe in a god. After a while he said i would have to look at the data,,, wait why not treat Christianity the same way?
hi denton, i thought the guy in the green top spoke a lot of sense, especially concerning what we deem as our purpose in life. How old were you when you figured out your purpose in life, and what would you say that purpose is? I dont happen to believe we are born with a specific purpose, as the guy in the green said, we tend to find things in life that we're good at, or enjoy doing. We are social creatures, it's in our best interests to cooperate and get along with others.
@@bonnie43uk What he say is not wrong, and Cliff and Stuart don't think so if you watch them. But what green shirt guy doesn't realize, what's the evidence for that? The way you live your life, it's our best interests to cooperate with each other...untill it isn't. See the way he talks just describes how we usually as humans live our lives, but not why we live out lives. That way of living is relative or subjective, it doesn't guarantee a peaceful or loving way of living. I enjoy doing what makes me happy, what I am good at- but a killer also said so, a thief said " I am good at robbing, the thrill of getting away gives me life". Is not that what the green shirt guy say is wrong, but in the same route,we don't have a set purpose, that purpose can be for good or for bad, and without a guideline, good and bad is made up. See, that's how we currently live, we live for what makes us happy we might help each other from time to time, but also not. But Cliff says that he knows and has evidence for a set purpose and a set moral, focused on love and help throughout dark times. Jesus has evidence, if you choose to believe in him he will give you purpose, you aren't just evolved cells floating across space, you are a loved creation, ment to love God and love each other humans always. See, how we live now is very selfish, we help others according to what we believe, but that belief is not consistent.
@@justiny2215 yes, we're all raised to know right from wrong by our parents, it's a standard universal thing justin, regardless of whether you are Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or a non believer, all parents want their children to be honest and decent. How long do you think homo sapiens have been around justin?
@bonnie43uk Hello Bonnie! I was referring to his ideas that all religion is the same. But I also think it is irrational to say one has a purpose if there is no god. To make my own purpose I would have to argue that every other purpose is just as valid as mine so the person who hates others because of skin color, the antisemitism, rape, thief, all are equally valid purpose, I can not except that kind of thought. My purpose is no difference than everyone else, to love and serve God, and love my neighbors as my self. To be honest I didn't know my purpose for years, I whent through life thinking of myself only, and what I could get out of life, living the lie the stong survive, it basically came to being selfish. Don't get me wrong I still struggle with selfishness, it is a daily battle, sad to say I still loose someday. So what about religion being the same, what do you think? Do you think those who you disagree with you on morality and their purpose have a valid point?
@@dentonhahn2907 i believe when we're children growing up, we're not aware of any specific purpose as such. I can only speak for myself obviously. It's not something you hear a child ever say "My purpose in life is. . . " As you correctly said, even as adults we may not be aware of any specific purpose. This is why I thought the student in the green expressed it quite well in saying we make our own purpose. As regards to someone who believes there purpose is to hate and do terrible things, the vast majority of us just want a nice trouble free life. I would love to get into the mind of someone like Trump, a pathological liar and see what makes them the way they are. As for valid points, all talking points are up for debate i guess.
The young man said something right, that people can create their own higher power to help them. That's what people do! It's called creating an idol to worship.
Stuart DEFINITELY had too much caffeine🤣🤣🤣 I laughed so hard! He’s AWESOME and I love that him and his dad go to these campuses changing the lives of some of these students sharing the truth of the gospel! Keep it up guys!!❤️❤️
How do you know this? There is no evidence of it but it may be possible. How do I know gods have created life. I dont because there is no evidence of this but it may be possible. Mexican standoff.
This must mean your god is alive than, since he created life. Stange, i think very few christians would think of god as a living being like you and me (apart form the jesus thing ofc). Or did you have some other definition of life in mind?
@@aidanya1336we are made in the image of the creator not the creator made in our image. The scriptures reveal to us that God is eternal, and God is spirit. Outside of time space and matter and nothing like created life, as we are.
@@coolhandluke4091 That is nice and all. But i was responding to some of the implications of the claim: Non-life has never produced life. Because god creating/producing or whatever words you use for it is the counter example showing his statement to be wrong. Or god is also in the life category, which is very problematic indeed.
@@Theo_Skeptomai Its a response to the assertion that (as opposed to religion assertions of truth) "my position is better because it is open to "new" information and thus is better at finding truth". Stuart catches this notion of "better" to recognise this is in fact a moral claim of better not a logical one. I say this because the position is "logically" false if it's proposed search for truth is considered... "logically" Better for finding truth. Thus this is a value claim, where the search for truth is a higher value. So stuart's brain working on some sort of xp boost. denies this dichotomy whilst precisely exposing the axiom the atheist in the video is unaware of. it is particularly profound because it exposes why many atheists are attracted to this axiom...it resolves responsibility of holding a position while being aligned with said position. in this case the position represented by "the truth". it also explains why atheists like to say they have a lack of belief rather than a position on the "Existence of God". The profoundness doesn't stop there as it explains that this axiom explains why an atheist may be at odds with the traditional masculine role of a father as the father in tradition is a form of dictator. a father is I a source of truth in the way " anyone aligned with the family must obey". as an atheist believes in a higher value of searching for the truth, the thought that what the father says goes is repulsive to the atheist. there are about 2 more profound point I got from this phrase but I think I want to put it in a book.
Supposing there was no intelligence behind the universe, no creative mind. In that case, nobody designed my brain for the purpose of thinking. It is merely that when the atoms inside my skull happen, for physical or chemical reasons, to arrange themselves in a certain way, this gives me, as a by-product, the sensation I call thought. But, if so, how can I trust my own thinking to be true? It's like upsetting a milk jug and hoping that the way it splashes itself will give you a map of London. But if I can't trust my own thinking, of course I can't trust the arguments leading to Atheism, and therefore have no reason to be an Atheist, or anything else. Unless I believe in God, I cannot believe in thought: so I can never use thought to disbelieve in God. c s lewis
I love you Cliffe you are as a child who believes everything, in which pleases God I believe in the Lord without proof without words you inspire me 🙏 and I pray the Lord returns soon I want to meet you !
You never get scientists telling us evolution didn't happen. So many well-funded creationists, and still they can't find a flaw in evolution that can be solved by creationism.
It is very plausible that evolution was the tool God used to create us. Evolution and Creationism can go together, they are not opposites. (Scientist here).
I don’t like how the videos are cut off in the end when a lot of the times it looks like it’s just getting good or without fully getting to the point or conclusion of the conversation & I always want to hear more/the rest & it just ends 🥲 Need to post the whole thing!
I worked at the University of Texas at Austin (where this video was made) for thirty-six years. For years I saw Cliffe Kenechtle converse with students on the west mall. UT Austin is the Berkley of the southwest. Unfortunately many Phd professors and faculty worship the "God" of higher education. Is seems the worst in the College of Natural Science and The Science of Natural History Museum AKA Texas Memorial Museum. They teach there evolution as fact, even when their is no real observable Science for evolution. Why? Because the evolutionists had to remove the God of the Bible to form their false narrative. Geologist and lawyer Charles Lyell, a friend of Charles Darwin, wrote in a letter (Lyell came up with the millions of years theory) that his biased goal was "To rid the world of the science of Moses." That is fact.

The argument about Jesus being a real person has already been backed up we all know Jesus is a real historical figure same as Martin Luther King etc. So Jesusis a real person thats been proven years ago no question about it, go check it out. So the real question you should have asked is have I seen god which no nobody has seen god because he Isn't a physical being we all can experience his presence, hear his voice, see his powers in our lives which I've experienced and for me it's no doubt the man is real.

God is powerful enough to show himself in many ways spiritually which he does more than we think and folks still reject him even when proof is in play. My question to you is what is holding you back from believing in God? Is it really the fact that you've never seen him or his son in anyway,shape,form? Or is it deeper than that. The real question is have you seen Jesus and which obviously you havnt my friend maybe it's time to change that just like I did it was the best decision ever.

@@aidanya1336 What do you mean by any standard will do? Yes I was referring to objective morality. Do you believe in moral absolutes? I’m not sure what you meant, do you believe in an objective standard of morality? ❤️🙂
@@deannavarro777 A moral standard is basically a ruleset you can measure your action against to determine if its good or bad, better or worse than some other action. There are objective moral standards and subjective moral standards, both are moral standards. So someone with a subjective moral standard can also say if something is "better" even when he doesn't use an objective moral standard. So any moral standard can do this. Only those without a moral standard can't. But not having an objective one does not mean you do not have one. As for your further questions: No there are no moral absolutes. Killing someone is wrong in most cases but not in war or self defense. Stealing is wrong in most cases unless you are starving and someone else has more than they need ect. Very few things are always 100% of the time wrong. But in those cases this is only because 100% of everyone's subjective standard converges on a 100% consensus. Which does not make it objective.
@@aidanya1336 There are no moral absolutes, huh, are you absolutely sure? Ha. You’re delusional. Repent and believe the gospel or continue in your disillusionment, your choice.

Jesus Christ said I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. So if God always existed then why did Jesus Christ said I am the beginning, beginning means something starting.
The first and the Last means that there is no other. He is the First, and there is none other, and He is the last, and there will never be another. Saying that He is the begining and the end is pretty much the same, but with other words. He is the Begining and the End - He is Completeness.
It also brings up creation, Jesus created all things, the universe had a beginning, basically Jesus is the first cause, from him and by him all things exist, he is eternal.
I live quite close to Stonehenge in Wiltshire UK boltrook, those people were incredibly intelligent given the lack of scientific knowledge they had, to be able to construct those huge monoliths without any kind of modern day heavy lifting equipment was a remarkable achievement.

He’s quicker to bring up statistics and more combative than his dad. But maybe that really was the caffeine lol
Stewart is embarrassing to watch😊
Before 2022/2023, i called my self a so called "christian" then i started actually reading the bible, and studying, and watching cliffes videos, and i realized i was not living my life as a christian, i was living my life as a lier. I've started taking it more seriously now, and have started going to church, im re reading the bible throughout the year, and im so happy because of it. Thank you
I alway tell people now it’s a difference between knowing GOD and actually knowing GOD… anybody can say they know and believe in GOD, but actually knowing GOD means knowing his word and living out his word daily knowing his will it’s hard but as long as you got GOD on your side he makes it easier… so with that been said I’m like you…
Praise God
Correct, and most importantly, always follow God, not man's ways. There's nothing wrong with some tradition as long as it doesn't go above. God and his word wants. It becomes a man's tradition overguards. Were then you start down the road? Of disaster, so God bless you on your research.
I loved the first kid. He was respectful, raised very challenging questions without being smug or trying to catch Cliff in some elaborate trap. He had genuine questions, listened, AND when it didn’t make sense to him and had objections, he asked follow-up questions remaining respectful.
I certainly hope he walked away with more questions, and a desire to seek the answers.
He certainly did, he for sure will question cliffs iq and ability to interrupt him constantly
Tonight I will pray for you my friend, for you know not what you say, and I pray you find peace❤ as I have@@Echo_Chamber_Interrogator

I believe a seed was planted.
And I'll bet he pulled Cliffe aside and inquired more
That kid with long hair was so kind, I’ll be praying for him to find the LORD that was a very good and respectful conversation.
He is so close you can practically taste his belief growing, amazing to see, God's plan for him is unique and we simply cannot understand that, but we can understand his yearning because we all have had/have/will have that same desire. praise the lord❤

“You’re worshipping the search.” Stuart Knechtle
That was a quick witted profound statement! Good job Stuart!
Lol
Stewart is worshiping the search for the truth of atheism
Hopefully he finds it soon 🤷♂️
Yes that's a curious thing. I've noticed how deep a belief many atheists/naturalists have. They have such faith that if only science has a little more time it can find the truth of their naturalist belief.
Evolution is a great example. No one has proof how life started, but it simply "must" have occurred chemically in that primordial soup.
No one has proof how one species can drastically evolve into another, and no one can (or will) answer the biochemical genius James Tour's questions.
No one can answer how or why there appears to be something like digital code in our DNA, or how, in case it's natural, how both the information storage (DNA) could evolve by small, gradual mutation simultaneously with the decoder mechanisms (RNA), such that the magical information can be expressed as proteins.
I'm going out on a limb here, but to my mind there's a chance that evolution is akin to a flat earth model or Newtonian physics. Good in isolation, but misses the bigger picture.
Like ... flat earth models are great when you're building a normal house, here you don't have to account for the Earth's curvature.
But what if evolutionary theory can't explain 1) the origin of life and 2) how one species can transform into a fundamentally different one?
Well, it would leave evolution as a theory that explains an admittedly huge variability, from wolf to doberman to Chihuahua. To explain the rest we might need a completely new theory for life (or maybe a rather old one😊)
My granddaughter is 11 years old and found Cliff's videos and as a result of watching him and listening she has decided she wants a closer relationship to God! Awesome job Cliff! Your definitely drawing them in all ages! I already take her to church and she says grace over ebery meal no matter where we are! Praise God
There is no greater love than to take your time and dedicate your life to serving God by explaining to people of his existence and the fact that if any of us die without receiving Christ as our lord and savior we’re going to end up spending eternity without him. I love listening to Cliffe answer hard questions; it brightens my understanding and pushes me to continue preaching.🙏 God bless your ministry 🙏
Yes, I believe it’s a blessing to serve *Christ* full time. That is, if you were actually called by *Him* to serve *Him.*
You’re right. As Christians, We all witness in different ways and are all called to win souls for Jesus. It’s not just preaching but also reflecting Jesus Christ by how we carry ourselves in accordance with his teachings. Basically we are all called to serve him: it’s just in different ways for each one of us according to your gifts and talents.🙏

You have plenty of time to unravel his arguments here. If they are so weak and easily refutable, then go ahead and refute them!
Stuart just laid the law. Cliffe just sat there and took it all in. Love it.
shout assertions and statistics is not laying down some law.
@dperkins01 well if you dont get the figurative speech then i got nthn to tell you. He can shout all he wants. The situation dictates the action.
Algorithms do not lie.... they lead you to want you are searching for. As a believer in Christ since 2006.....as of lately I have been working on being a person of integrity and communicating with kindness. Pastor Cliffe videos encourages me that it can be done. You can disagree with others without belittling them or degrading them. I'm glad I can watch these videos because I've always chosen to avoid conflict and that not always necessary for me. I can communicate with grace and respect for others as well as myself regardless of the topic.
Stuart Killed it! In a good way. We need more of this Stuart! He was going in.
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
You can tell the older cliff gets the more fluid and convincing he becomes. Not that he wasn’t these things before, he was and he was great them, but you can tell hes improved even beyond that.
100%
"You are worshipping the search" DAM that one got me. There are always people who are on the fence who say "I just need to do more window shopping and then I'll be open to it" who claim the moral high ground of openmindedness, but never actually do and are stuck in this perpetual cycle of forever "looking" when it's staring them in the face.

@@Zaranathax It proves that the Bible is historically reliable and a trustworthy source. Miracles aren't proven by archeology, typically. If you want a miracle proven by an archeological and recorded in biblical text, I find I still have one for ya. Expedition Bibles video on Sodom and Gomorah and the sulfur balls that still exist there.
I was an Agnostic, and came to believe in the existence of God by the exploration of the philosophical questions of origin, meaning, purpose and morality which can be best explained by a theistic worldview and i gave my life to Christ at the age of 18 after researching the historical, archaeological and prophetic evidence for the truth of Christianity, and have never looked back since, best decision i ever made.
Awesome news bro. NOW, get deep, I mean deep into god's word. You've now got the scales lifted, and can see for the first time in your life
I love listening to you guys, I admire your patience with them because a lot are rude and offensive. Keep up the good work fellow Christian soldier!

Love these videos. Just wanted to say while I don’t agree with the last guy, he was VERY well-spoken and never backed down or got flustered. Good for him. Praying that God is ultimately able to use that young man’s intellect to change his own life and move God’s Kingdom forward!

I honestly see that you NEED a BIGGER PLATFORM so that MANY MANY more souls can learn the ACTUAL gospel and be saved.
God Bless you Cliffe
With regards to what people view as rational, that has changed massively over the past few hundred years thanks to our understanding of science. The more we learn about our origins, and the world we live in, the more rational it seems. We have much better answers to many of lifes questions.
There isn't much left to learn about our origins that will affect day to day life. Our origins are either God/some supernatural cause or we somehow sprang miraculously from lifeless matter and energy. There is no door number 3.
If it's matter and energy, learning about it tells you nothing about morality or love or any of the things that make life worthwhile. It's like thinking that studying tax law will make you a good surgeon or mechanic.
Answers? That is the one thing I have observed science has not offered, you can’t get answers from naive empiricism and moral relativism. If you could share any of these new answers you say you have that are actually new and not centered around allowing the loss of values, purpose, and moral absolutes there may be a shred of likelihood to what you’re saying. I have heard people say before there are new and better answers but the answers themselves have always been very disappointing.
"The more we learn about our origins, and the world we live in, the more rational it seems. "
Is that subjective opinion/feeling/exp or objectively true to reality?
1a)If subjective opinion, why should we listen to it as true to reality?
b)Do we blindly “take your word for it” in faith?
c)Have you ever made a mistake?
d)How do you KNOW you’re not making a mistake now?
2)If objectively true to reality, it logically requires an objective (Existing independent of or external to the mind; actual or real) foundation for your claims….do you have one?
Where do you get "rationality" from a godless worldview of an unguided, blind, pitiless, indifferent universe born from chance/chaos/nothingness/unknown/stardust where a rock in the road is as valuable as a person, made from the same theoretical primordial material?
Atheism has NEVER been considered "rational", especially in the dumbed down ignorant manner atheists define themselves today! And Bonnie here is utterly clueless regarding the origins questions. And if what he blindly believe were true-origins doesn't matter anyhow. Once more, good old Bonnie, hell bent on unbelief in the God of the Bible (whom he hates with a passion), demonstrates for us that he can't be either rational or consistent-that he's spent decades NOT thinking any of this through. It is the same thing, week after week, month after month, year after year. He doesn't THINK and thus fails to ever learn.

I gotta admit I love Mr. Cliffes videos because I have a strong conviction that when the Lord Jesus said “go out and preach the gospel” (paraphrasing here) I believe this that Mr. Cliffe is doing sums it up. See he’s not arguing or fighting with these young men and women he is preaching the gospel and helping those confused minds find God and define him the best way possible. God bless you Mr. Cliffe! I learn every time I watch one of your videos too.
I like Cliffe because he makes rational common sense arguments and uses critical thinking skills to spread the word of Jesus rather than quoting scripture all the time
That's very good I feel the same
The first guy was the most humble atheist I’ve ever seen , he was very open minded , very respectful even though he believed what he believed this is how every conversation should be even when you have different beliefs, very heartwarming to see that , wish we all could be that way
I was an atheist from the beginning of my life.(I'm 15)
I saw an Askcliffe video a few months ago on a day I was feeling like crap.

Cliffe and Stuart Rock!
I find Gods mercy so beautiful, We are all speaking with our mouth’s constantly, most of the time we speak of vain things, but when the topic comes to bring faith or to strengthen it, You can see God just wants to bring Us Home. These people who spoke their beliefs about why they can’t understand God and the validity of them, got a nice seed of thought upon Their Existence to hopefully grow into a future shift towards Christ. My Lord Jesus, Let my Heart not be Hardened as the wicked one suggests, Amen!
Jesus Christ is king 👑 Amen 🙏
King of kings, that is. Amen!
Stuart was getting excited there. I tend to do the same thing. I'm told often, to back it down a notch. Nice talk gentlemen.

There is a huge difference in Islam and Christianity. The fellow in the green shirt should look at Islam a simple glace will show a massive difference. It is interesting how he started, with the idea that faith is only for people who believe in a god. After a while he said i would have to look at the data,,, wait why not treat Christianity the same way?
hi denton, i thought the guy in the green top spoke a lot of sense, especially concerning what we deem as our purpose in life. How old were you when you figured out your purpose in life, and what would you say that purpose is? I dont happen to believe we are born with a specific purpose, as the guy in the green said, we tend to find things in life that we're good at, or enjoy doing. We are social creatures, it's in our best interests to cooperate and get along with others.
@@bonnie43uk What he say is not wrong, and Cliff and Stuart don't think so if you watch them. But what green shirt guy doesn't realize, what's the evidence for that? The way you live your life, it's our best interests to cooperate with each other...untill it isn't. See the way he talks just describes how we usually as humans live our lives, but not why we live out lives.
That way of living is relative or subjective, it doesn't guarantee a peaceful or loving way of living.
I enjoy doing what makes me happy, what I am good at- but a killer also said so, a thief said " I am good at robbing, the thrill of getting away gives me life".
Is not that what the green shirt guy say is wrong, but in the same route,we don't have a set purpose, that purpose can be for good or for bad, and without a guideline, good and bad is made up.
See, that's how we currently live, we live for what makes us happy we might help each other from time to time, but also not.
But Cliff says that he knows and has evidence for a set purpose and a set moral, focused on love and help throughout dark times. Jesus has evidence, if you choose to believe in him he will give you purpose, you aren't just evolved cells floating across space, you are a loved creation, ment to love God and love each other humans always.
See, how we live now is very selfish, we help others according to what we believe, but that belief is not consistent.
@@justiny2215 yes, we're all raised to know right from wrong by our parents, it's a standard universal thing justin, regardless of whether you are Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or a non believer, all parents want their children to be honest and decent. How long do you think homo sapiens have been around justin?
@bonnie43uk Hello Bonnie! I was referring to his ideas that all religion is the same. But I also think it is irrational to say one has a purpose if there is no god. To make my own purpose I would have to argue that every other purpose is just as valid as mine so the person who hates others because of skin color, the antisemitism, rape, thief, all are equally valid purpose, I can not except that kind of thought. My purpose is no difference than everyone else, to love and serve God, and love my neighbors as my self. To be honest I didn't know my purpose for years, I whent through life thinking of myself only, and what I could get out of life, living the lie the stong survive, it basically came to being selfish. Don't get me wrong I still struggle with selfishness, it is a daily battle, sad to say I still loose someday. So what about religion being the same, what do you think? Do you think those who you disagree with you on morality and their purpose have a valid point?
@@dentonhahn2907 i believe when we're children growing up, we're not aware of any specific purpose as such. I can only speak for myself obviously. It's not something you hear a child ever say "My purpose in life is. . . " As you correctly said, even as adults we may not be aware of any specific purpose. This is why I thought the student in the green expressed it quite well in saying we make our own purpose. As regards to someone who believes there purpose is to hate and do terrible things, the vast majority of us just want a nice trouble free life. I would love to get into the mind of someone like Trump, a pathological liar and see what makes them the way they are.
As for valid points, all talking points are up for debate i guess.
I love you and your teachings
The young man said something right, that people can create their own higher power to help them. That's what people do! It's called creating an idol to worship.
Stuart DEFINITELY had too much caffeine🤣🤣🤣 I laughed so hard! He’s AWESOME and I love that him and his dad go to these campuses changing the lives of some of these students sharing the truth of the gospel!

Non-life has never produced life...and colleges and universities know it. Unbelievable what they teach these kids.

This must mean your god is alive than, since he created life.

@@aidanya1336 not at all because God is both living and eternal.
"You are worshiping the search"...not going to lie that is the most profound thing I have heard this year.
@@Theo_Skeptomai Its a response to the assertion that (as opposed to religion assertions of truth) "my position is better because it is open to "new" information and thus is better at finding truth".
Stuart catches this notion of "better" to recognise this is in fact a moral claim of better not a logical one. I say this because the position is "logically" false if it's proposed search for truth is considered... "logically" Better for finding truth.
Thus this is a value claim, where the search for truth is a higher value.
So stuart's brain working on some sort of xp boost.
denies this dichotomy whilst precisely exposing the axiom the atheist in the video is unaware of.
it is particularly profound because it exposes why many atheists are attracted to this axiom...it resolves responsibility of holding a position while being aligned with said position. in this case the position represented by "the truth".
it also explains why atheists like to say they have a lack of belief rather than a position on the "Existence of God".
The profoundness doesn't stop there as it explains that this axiom explains why an atheist may be at odds with the traditional masculine role of a father as the father in tradition is a form of dictator. a father is I a source of truth in the way " anyone aligned with the family must obey". as an atheist believes in a higher value of searching for the truth, the thought that what the father says goes is repulsive to the atheist.
there are about 2 more profound point I got from this phrase but I think I want to put it in a book.
Supposing there was no intelligence behind the universe, no creative mind. In that case, nobody designed my brain for the purpose of thinking. It is merely that when the atoms inside my skull happen, for physical or chemical reasons, to arrange themselves in a certain way, this gives me, as a by-product, the sensation I call thought. But, if so, how can I trust my own thinking to be true? It's like upsetting a milk jug and hoping that the way it splashes itself will give you a map of London. But if I can't trust my own thinking, of course I can't trust the arguments leading to Atheism, and therefore have no reason to be an Atheist, or anything else. Unless I believe in God, I cannot believe in thought: so I can never use thought to disbelieve in God.

That’s right. People in general just love their sin.
Love this debate, the truth of God we can explain to them open people mind. Askcliffe is the best 👍👍
I worked at the University of Texas at Austin (where this video was made) for thirty-six years. For years I saw Cliffe Kenechtle converse with students on the west mall. UT Austin is the Berkley of the southwest. Unfortunately many Phd professors and faculty worship the "God" of higher education. Is seems the worst in the College of Natural Science and The Science of Natural History Museum AKA Texas Memorial Museum. They teach there evolution as fact, even when their is no real observable Science for evolution. Why? Because the evolutionists had to remove the God of the Bible to form their false narrative. Geologist and lawyer Charles Lyell, a friend of Charles Darwin, wrote in a letter (Lyell came up with the millions of years theory) that his biased goal was "To rid the world of the science of Moses." That is fact.
Stuart! My guy, you have evolved sir. I can't wait to see how much more you mature in these debates.
Stuart was not having it at all!!
Praise God and thankyou Jesus!

The argument about Jesus being a real person has already been backed up we all know Jesus is a real historical figure same as Martin Luther King etc. So Jesusis a real person thats been proven years ago no question about it, go check it out. So the real question you should have asked is have I seen god which no nobody has seen god because he Isn't a physical being we all can experience his presence, hear his voice, see his powers in our lives which I've experienced and for me it's no doubt the man is real.
People just don't wanna go the extra mile to actually get his attention we have to be ready to have a relationship those are the people he's looking for. Not those who wanna use him for blessings only.
@@jk.9300 now to follow up on your question nobody needs and should need to see god or Jesus physically or spiritually to believe and lots of people do exactly that. People need to stop going around thinking godcor Jesus is gonna just show up in their kitchen one day and say hey here I am! God is powerful enough to show himself in many ways spiritually which he does more than we think and folks still reject him even when proof is in play.
My question to you is what is holding you back from believing in God? Is it really the fact that you've never seen him or his son in anyway,shape,form? Or is it deeper than that. The real question is have you seen Jesus and which obviously you havnt my friend maybe it's time to change that just like I did it was the best decision ever.

Talk about blind faith.
Any standard will do. But i think you mean objective standard. Which doesn't exist no matter what we want of what makes us feel better.
@@aidanya1336 What do you mean by any standard will do? Yes I was referring to objective morality. Do you believe in moral absolutes? I’m not sure what you meant, do you believe in an objective standard of morality?
❤️🙂
@@deannavarro777 A moral standard is basically a ruleset you can measure your action against to determine if its good or bad, better or worse than some other action.
There are objective moral standards and subjective moral standards, both are moral standards.
So someone with a subjective moral standard can also say if something is "better" even when he doesn't use an objective moral standard.
So any moral standard can do this.
Only those without a moral standard can't. But not having an objective one does not mean you do not have one.
As for your further questions: No there are no moral absolutes. Killing someone is wrong in most cases but not in war or self defense.
Stealing is wrong in most cases unless you are starving and someone else has more than they need ect.
Very few things are always 100% of the time wrong. But in those cases this is only because 100% of everyone's subjective standard converges on a 100% consensus. Which does not make it objective.
@@aidanya1336 There are no moral absolutes, huh, are you absolutely sure?
Ha.
You’re delusional.
Repent and believe the gospel or continue in your disillusionment, your choice.
@@deannavarro777 Can you give an example of one?
I like this Conversation really much. It's sometimes really hard to understand anything, cause my English knowledge are very limited. I wished that there was an Text script of the conversation so i can use some programs to translate it completely in German. Or that's there someone in the German speaking countrys who do something like that.
Thanks for your Work for Jesus, be blessed! Greetings from Germany
Trying clicking the CC icon. It will show auto-generated subtitles in English. It’s about 90% correct though.
Jesus Christ said I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. So if God always existed then why did Jesus Christ said I am the beginning, beginning means something starting.
The first and the Last means that there is no other. He is the First, and there is none other, and He is the last, and there will never be another. Saying that He is the begining and the end is pretty much the same, but with other words. He is the Begining and the End - He is Completeness.
It also brings up creation, Jesus created all things, the universe had a beginning, basically Jesus is the first cause, from him and by him all things exist, he is eternal.
@justingary5322 I praise you for the very long comment that you left and I subscribed to your channel 😃 great human being that you are.
I hope your words can reach more people.
Basic human value and dignity is learned and acted out in culture, without civilization supported by a Christian ethic there isn’t order to society.
I live quite close to Stonehenge in Wiltshire UK boltrook, those people were incredibly intelligent given the lack of scientific knowledge they had, to be able to construct those huge monoliths without any kind of modern day heavy lifting equipment was a remarkable achievement. They couldn't have done it without order and structure in the society they lived in. They would have had no clue about Christianity. They worshipped pagan Gods.
Yes, except for every other society that has existed with no Christian origins.
@@bonnie43uk Yet there isn’t anyone to remember much about them and how they did it, their society died. The chaos of their foundation of sand didn’t withstand the storm and they didn’t last long or build much. They didn’t have as much real lasting knowledge. A few people with a lot of time could build Stonehenge moving rocks across the ice and snow in winter.
@@boltrooktwo Given how long homo sapiens have been around in comparison to the age of the Earth, every civilization there has ever been has only been around for a fraction of time, that would certainly include Christianity, and also the worlds longest remaining religion Hinduism.
@@bonnie43uk What does a comparison to the theorized age of the Earth mean? Very little. The Earth is not a mind it is organized material. I am talking about recorded and communicated human history. Christianity has been around for most of what is recorded, over 2000 years and has produced the most long lasting innovation. If Christianity fell so would Britain and the US. You are already on your way to becoming more like the an ideological authoritarian state, I heard the nickname for it the other day Britainistan.
