Cliffe Knechtle has a great conversation with college students at a campus in the southwest US.
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.

I’ve really warmed to Stuart too. Extremely intelligent individual. I love how Stuart and Cliffe tag team.
I used to not like his answers, but he's been answering really well lately
jociah Yeah same.
@Brown_GroundWalker that's true, on the flip side though, some kids need some tough love. Cliff deals it in a good way and I think the students learn a great deal about maturity and tolerance sometimes
It's awsome seeing dad and son work together
@@warrenallen2599 No partner hath He: this am I commanded, and I am the first of those who bow to His will.
That young man just didn't how much Jewish people lost when they became Christian back in the 1st Century. They lost their family, friends, kicked out of the synagogue, tortured, lost their dignity, and killed horribly.
It was completely opposite of what he said. These people lost money, power, social status, and anymore things we cherished.
Why should ye not eat of (meats) on which Allah's name hath been pronounced, when He hath explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you - except under compulsion of necessity? But many do mislead (men) by their appetites unchecked by knowledge. Thy Lord knoweth best those who transgress.
Young people are much more prone to the sin of pride. I think this young man knew he was grasping but wouldn't give up because of his need to feel like he "has it figured out".
Those who give partners (to Allah) will say: "If Allah had wished, we should not have given partners to Him nor would our fathers; nor should we have had any taboos." So did their ancestors argue falsely, until they tasted of Our wrath. Say: "Have ye any (certain) knowledge? If so, produce it before us. Ye follow nothing but conjecture: ye do nothing but lie."
That is true for many who choose not to believe in Jesus Christ.
Cliff's son did a excellent job!
Like Father like son.
Even so, in the eyes of most of the pagans, their "partners" made alluring the slaughter of their children, in order to lead them to their own destruction, and cause confusion in their religion. If Allah had willed, they would not have done so: But leave alone them and their inventions.
The glasses dude with the hat is AAAALLLLLLL over the place. Wow.
God bless you brothers. Your bravery is like a lion!
And ye have a sense of pride and beauty in them as ye drive them home in the evening, and as ye lead them forth to pasture in the morning.
@@darkeen42 the evidence is the accounts written in the Bible. Why would the apostles put their lives on the line for Jesus when a month prior they disbanded after his death?
@@darkeen42 Fictional story? Is that what you tell yourself? The Bible are documented historical events. Archeologists used it to verify geographic locations. You can’t be serious. Premise that the Bible is fiction can be debunked is you objectively researched it.
@@darkeen42 Depends on the movie. If the movie is a documentary, documented in that time to express the events that happened in that time in history, then yes.
@@darkeen42 do more objective non-biased research. For instance, read the book, “A case for Christ” by Lee Strobel. He started out with your premises but reached a different conclusion. God bless you and I pray you find the truth you are looking for.
People get so smart to run away from God and that is foolish.
Say: "With Allah is the argument that reaches home: if it had been His will, He could indeed have guided you all."
I Loved These Two Brothers In Christ !!! . Pastor Cliff & Pastor Stuart !!! . God Bless Them Both Always In Jesus Christ's Name !!! . Amen , Amen , Amen !!! . Alleluia ...
Apologies Pastor Cliffe Is What I Was Meant To Say . God Bless To You & Pastor Stuart Always !!! ...
Are they waiting to see if the angels come to them, or thy Lord (Himself), or certain of the signs of thy Lord! the day that certain of the signs of thy Lord do come, no good will it do to a soul to believe in them then if it believed not before nor earned righteousness through its faith. Say: "Wait ye: we too are waiting."
Best tag team interaction I’ve seen so far. These two are like a double-edged sword.
Proverbs 12:15 (KJV) The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
Thus do we explain the signs by various (symbols): that they may say, "Thou hast taught (us) diligently," and that We may make the matter clear to those who know.
People will sometimes willingly die to cover up a lie if they think doing so helps further their cause. But they will NEVER die for a cause when they know the CAUSE ITSELF is a lie.
I gotta say Cliffe's son really excelled in this video!
Say: "Shall I seek for (my) Cherisher other than Allah, when He is the Cherisher of all things (that exist)? Every soul draws the meed of its acts on none but itself: no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another. Your goal in the end is towards Allah: He will tell you the truth of the things wherein ye disputed."
Cliffe passed on baton well...
When your student exceeds you, be proud.
Stuart is incredibly knowledgeable but more importantly is a better communicator. Cliff is amazing, and should be proud that his son has found a way to often connect better with students in a way that lowers their guard and forces them to be intellectually honest.
That first guy is LOOOOSSSSSSTTTT!!!!!
To all are degrees (or ranks) according to their deeds: for thy Lord is not unmindful of anything that they do.
These men are great and I have huge respect for them. I like the fact if your an Atheist or Agnostic than be consistent with your own worldview. Don't steal the Christian worldveiw to justify your own morality. That is big problem I see alot not being consistent to your own worldview. Great stuff here and learn a lot. Always love when there an honest Intellectual conversations.
Thy Lord knoweth best who strayeth from His way: He knoweth best who they are that receive His guidance.
The Christian effect.
If I heard someone saying they only do things that come back to benefit them
I wouldn't trust that person there after
Christianity would never have grown if Jesus did in fact not rise from the dead.
@@buddhikaw because the earliest maniscrpts of some of the gospels date back to when the witnesses where still alive and theses people where so convinced that they was willing to die for it.
@@buddhikaw well if you consider the evidence presented to us... if we look at another example Julius Cesar we know Julius caesar existed because of coins with his inscription on them and through his writings Cesar's Gallic wars written sometime between 58BC and 50BC earliest copy we have dates from AD900 a gap of 950 years and we have 9/10 copys of Cesar's gallic wars so that's very good evidence that julius Cesar existed according to historians. Now if you compare and contrast with Jesus Christ the predominant writings that we have are obviously the gospels themselves Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and if you take John's Gospel for example it was written down somewhere between AD40 and AD100 the earliest copy we have of a fragment of John's gospel dates back to AD130 a gap of 130 years as opposed to the gap of 950 years of Julius Cesar's gallic wars, the amount of copys we have of the Rylands fragments of John's gospel are 5000 Greek copies, 10,000 copys in Latin and 7,300 in other languages, if you compare the 9 to 10 copies of Julius caesar's gallic wars in comparison to the 22,300 copies of Rylands fragments of the gospel of John alone that we have, which original dates around about AD130 on that evidence you won't find many historians out there who would disagree that a historical person called Jesus Christ existed, so if a historical Jesus existed what do we do with him? because he made some pretty outrageous claims he said he was the son of God, and he said he was the messiah which was the claim that got him crucified, so we are left to make a decision with Jesus, was he mad or bad or Lord? If we decide he was mad theres a problem because one of Jesus enemy's a man named Josephus in his writings he wrote around the same time he mentioned that Jesus was doing some miraculous things, being a enemy why would he say that unless it was true? If someone's mad you would normally just disregard them, if we decide he was bad its hard to reconcile with what we read in the bible because Jesus showed extraordinary love and grace and patience towards people, you could its said just come to the conclusion that he was a great prophet or a very wise man, but Jesus never claimed to be that he claimed to be the son of God, he claimed to be the messiah or last of all you could come to the conclusion I have and thousands and millions of people around the world have come to and still come to today and that is that he is God and we should listen to him and trust him.
@@buddhikaw The people you talk of are usually willing to die for a lie, believing that it is the truth. But nobody would die for a lie knowing deep down that it was a lie, when they could easily have just spared their lives and told the truth.
@@buddhikaw Only if you ignore the many hundreds of eyewitnesses.
@@datchet11 Too right. One cannot dismiss Jesus And remain consistent. Unfortunately most don't care about consistency integrity or intellectual honesty. They only care about what they "feel". They're actually taught that what they "feel" is all that matters.
Spot on Stuart and Cliffe ! Keep it up!
Say: "Bring forward your witnesses to prove that Allah did forbid so and so." If they bring such witnesses, be not thou amongst them: Nor follow thou the vain desires of such as treat our signs as falsehoods, and such as believe not in the Hereafter: for they hold others as equal with their Guardian-Lord.
It's amazing how people will argue, even when confronted with the truth. His arguments are being answered and yet he still has to argue for argument sake. Cannot accept the truth even when it's right in his face.
To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: How can He have a son when He hath no consort? He created all things, and He hath full knowledge of all things.
And that is why we gotta spread the word of God. The kids are detached from love .
It's sad that this guy is so caught up with Science
Mmm I think he just picks and choose the part of science that fits into his bias then goes with that.
Cliff was giving him facts of history that we know to be true. The guy then kept making assertions based on no "evidence", he then kept asking for evidence for him to believe something 🙄
I don't think he even knows much about science. Every time he opens his mouth he talks himself into a corner
And cattle He has created for you (men): from them ye derive warmth, and numerous benefits, and of their (meat) ye eat.
Lord have mercy on this child for he know not what he do 😭😭😭✝️
God bless you Cliffe and Stuart 🙏
I used to think a lot of the same things but the difference was, when people started poking all of these major holes in my thinking I didn’t keep holding on to them to be right. And simply being clever and making a joke isn’t enough to make me back down. Hitchens has a few clever jokes but it simply wasn’t enough. These people really can’t explain morality and right and wrong. Love and sacrifice. It simply goes against your best interest, and you can’t say your best interest is to keep society going so you just choose to play along. If I’m gonna die and that’s it, then it’s my sole best interest to indulge in hedonism until I die. It will never be in my best interest to create a better world for my children. That involves hard work and sacrifice. It’s in my best interest to eat all the food, get all the money, have all the sex, and fight anyone who is stopping me from doing so. Why go try to stop a kidnapper from snatching a child when I could risk being killed in the process when I have eaten enough food or had enough sex yet? I gotta look out for myself lol. Self preserving nihilism is a crazy spot to be in mentally. Praise Jesus! He is risen!
Eschew all sin, open or secret: those who earn sin will get due recompense for their "earnings."
Stuart is evolving in a Christian way. Lol
Say: "Verily, my Lord hath guided me to a way that is straight,- a religion of right,- the path (trod) by Abraham the true in Faith, and he (certainly) joined not gods with Allah."
You can't x-ray your heart to see love. Damn gotem. Lol
When there comes to them a sign (from Allah), They say: "We shall not believe until we receive one (exactly) like those received by Allah's messengers." Allah knoweth best where (and how) to carry out His mission. Soon will the wicked be overtaken by humiliation before Allah, and a severe punishment, for all their plots.
Great work you guys!
Say: "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds:
I commend both of your guys’ patience. These two seemed very difficult to talk to.
Eat not of (meats) on which Allah's name hath not been pronounced: That would be impiety. But the evil ones ever inspire their friends to contend with you if ye were to obey them, ye would indeed be Pagans.
@@leeman7457 Jesus is the only way to heaven. Let go of your false religion.
@@bravesheep4688 Lost are those who slay their children, from folly, without knowledge, and forbid food which Allah hath provided for them, inventing (lies) against Allah. They have indeed gone astray and heeded no guidance.
Wow people will reason with such tenacity to argue against God. It’s almost like they’ve never argued so hard against anything else or anyone else. The only explanation is that the Devil is trying his hardest to convince them that God isn’t real and that the path they are following is correct.
The word of thy Lord doth find its fulfilment in truth and in justice: None can change His words: for He is the one who heareth and knoweth all.
This guy is talking about self-righteous love and cliff is talking about charity. love is more than a feeling
Hosea 4:6 - "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children"
The first guy was so wrong it’s actually frustrating to hear him talk. He was proven wrong on so many levels but he just doubles down and then goes off in left field with his “arguments.”
You could see a clash in this conversation, my mind was wondering where this was going to go.
And come not nigh to the orphan's property, except to improve it, until he attain the age of full strength; give measure and weight with (full) justice;- no burden do We place on any soul, but that which it can bear;- whenever ye speak, speak justly, even if a near relative is concerned; and fulfil the covenant of Allah: thus doth He command you, that ye may remember.
Painful.. this stuff goes nowhere... ppl need to learn to think before they open their mouths lest it be a waste of breath and words that ought to fall otherwise on dead ears.
Thank you!
12:55 hit it right in the nail js I love these videos shows how ppls views is just sad Jesus is the only way
He that doeth good shall have ten times as much to his credit: He that doeth evil shall only be recompensed according to his evil: no wrong shall be done unto (any of) them.
Best one yet
Feel really bad for the first kid he has a closed heart
Where are the aethists who can command an audience? Still preparing.
We (too) shall turn to (confusion) their hearts and their eyes, even as they refused to believe in this in the first instance: We shall leave them in their trespasses, to wander in distraction.
I posted something about people being slaves to their sins, someone tried to counter me calling me small minded believing a man made book, then they tried to direct me to a guru, lol. my response was you claim the bible is man made then you point me to a man ? LOL, ok whatever...smh
Out of what Allah hath produced in abundance in tilth and in cattle, they assigned Him a share: they say, according to their fancies: "This is for Allah, and this" - for our "partners"! but the share of their" partners "reacheth not Allah, whilst the share of Allah reacheth their "partners"! evil (and unjust) is their assignment!
First guy was extremely frustrating to listen to he really wanted to hear himself.
Why debate for so long? The existence of the Christian God can be proven with just one word!
@@saintpaulofyoutube4416
"Israel"
God said that he would sprinkle "Israel" over the earth. And God said that he will collect "Israel" from the ends of the earth. Both have happened, the existence of God is proven! There is no human being or religion that can do that. If you search the Bible for the predictions about Israel, there is much more.
best regards
And they say that such and such cattle and crops are taboo, and none should eat of them except those whom - so they say - We wish; further, there are cattle forbidden to yoke or burden, and cattle on which, (at slaughter), the name of Allah is not pronounced; - inventions against Allah's name: soon will He requite them for their inventions.
@@mtotowamungu8259 It is He Who produceth gardens, with trellises and without, and dates, and tilth with produce of all kinds, and olives and pomegranates, similar (in kind) and different (in variety): eat of their fruit in their season, but render the dues that are proper on the day that the harvest is gathered. But waste not by excess: for Allah loveth not the wasters.
@@leeman7457
The Bible contains over 3200 fulfilled prophecies. So its credibility can be tested (see the example of Israel above). The Koran does not contain a single prophecy, so its credibility cannot be tested, which makes the Koran uninteresting to me because it is a human invention.
God clearly says that you can recognize HIM by His prophecies coming true, you can really do something with that. Empty sayings and commandments of people are of no use to anyone, so it is a waste of time to deal with such things!
Love greetings
@@mtotowamungu8259 Of the cattle are some for burden and some for meat: eat what Allah hath provided for you, and follow not the footsteps of Satan: for he is to you and avowed enemy.
Why are these kids so keen on speaking and instead of listening. This is exactly what we were warned of. This guy contradicts himself every second. He said love is biological. Then went on to take theistic views to prove his point.
so why do people stop and pray, to a man that's dead and gone, when I ask them they just say, he's coming back to take me home. Hallelujah
Say: "Shall I seek for judge other than Allah? - when He it is Who hath sent unto you the Book, explained in detail." They know full well, to whom We have given the Book, that it hath been sent down from thy Lord in truth. Never be then of those who doubt.
Because Hes alive...thats the whole point.
Stuart cuts people off too much like he is afraid of letting someone get too much of their point out, don't get me wrong I'm in agreement with much of what he says but I would like to hear the other sides points too..
If it had been Allah's plan, they would not have taken false gods: but We made thee not one to watch over their doings, nor art thou set over them to dispose of their affairs.
Yeah i agree. I agree with what he's saying but interrupting I don't like
@@laDbugx In the result, they both ate of the tree, and so their nakedness appeared to them: they began to sew together, for their covering, leaves from the Garden: thus did Adam disobey his Lord, and allow himself to be seduced.
This guy (student) is so stubborn. He doesn't want to listen to anyone but himself. So sad :(
These kids don't listen they just want to argue
Follow what thou art taught by inspiration from thy Lord: there is no god but He: and turn aside from those who join gods with Allah.
those poor kids got A LOT to chew on and think about, they thought they had it all down. and BAM got hit with a ton of bricks, I pray you guys really chew on it. it is realer than real.
All that hath been promised unto you will come to pass: nor can ye frustrate it (in the least bit).
"Judeo-Christian" one belief is is of Christ as the Son of God and the other believes that He was not the Son of God. These two words are contradictory and should never be uttered as a singular term.
The problem is that love is a personality not an emotion.. yes you can see an emotion on a functional mri brain scan such as happiness, anger, fear etc.. but you can’t do a functional brain mri scan and say this person is agreeable, neurotic, etc.
Love has been diluted to an action and an emotion when really it’s a personality. We become loving, we are to love the world.
You wouldn’t say my mom loves me because she opened the door for me or made me dinner. It’s a multitude of actions that has molded her into a person that loves you.
The Christian definition of love is a personality the modern definition of love is an act or an emotion.. the conversation does not get very far because they are not talking about the same thing.
The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, meekness and self-control. You and/or a mother CHOOSES to live or not to live those qualities out. A person's chemicals do not dictate their decision. They have a choice. Jesus' chemicals did not send him to the Cross. He chose to go to the cross and sweated blood because he knew what was coming and the suffering He was to endure. When I had appendicitis about 7 years ago I was in absolute agony. My nervous system let me know I was in excruciating pain and I was suffering. 'I' was suffering. 'I' was in pain. 'I' was feeling sick. The human body is simply a carriage for the soul. I and every person gets to experience life through the human body's senses. Sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. I experience awe, wonder, fear, anxiety, happiness, sadness, pain and joy. Not my chemicals, pain receptors or endorphins but 'I'. The fact that I can logically acknowledge the separation of body and soul demonstrates that their is a difference. If I couldn't acknowledge that then my mind is not being controlled by myself but my chemicals, but I am also showing an 'awareness' of the brains chemicals. Thus my spirit/soul is aware of what is going on inside my own body through knowledge of how my body works and how each organ has it's own function. When one organ fails it can affect the whole body. The body ages and eventually dies but the soul never ages. You are still you on the inside. You can self analyse your own thoughts and behaviours. Your inner chemicals don't do that. When one subjects themselves to legal or illegal drugs, sometimes the drugs take over a person's body which they have no control over. They initially chose to take the drugs but the result of too much of a bad thing results in a person losing the ability to function in a sober and healthy way. Not because they chose to but because they allowed something else to take over and their thinking and rational thought becomes distorted. Everything starts with a thought. The fact you can think shows a person is more than just controlled by their inner chemicals.
It was on csi
Bruh are you kidding me with this Asian kid lmao. How the hell does this kid think has the authority to tell someone that all the Christians back then supported Jesus for an ulterior motive. All these people died for believing in Christ just so Christians would be put on a pedestal and not for believing in eternal life through him.
Even if We did send unto them angels, and the dead did speak unto them, and We gathered together all things before their very eyes, they are not the ones to believe, unless it is in Allah's plan. But most of them ignore (the truth).

That one got me a little bit but I figured it out ... had to re listen a couple of times... the argument is a non sequitur ... even if the Jewish people had a sociological reason to become Christian the fact that the resurrection is well corroborated stands alone.
I feel like a lot of nerds cling to science a bit too much and regret anything else cuz otherwise their grades don’t mean as much. Which is the one thing they’re good at

to the asian guy, if a person takes cocaine, meth, and other drugs, his blood test and brain function wouod have more endorphins and dopamine than a person in love. blood tests and brain scans cannot quantify love. if you base love on blood tests, then a person in love looks the same as a drug addict by that standard, but just look how a person in love acts vs a drug addict
This kid was literally arguing for the sake of arguing. What a waste of time. Just spit out your pride and admit you don't want to follow Jesus or change your life and be done with it already. If you believe that the way you live is not sinful and you have nothing to repent of, then carry on and move on. Why should you care whether someone else chooses to be a disciple of Jesus?
They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them,
for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him

Revelation 17:14
"O ye assembly of Jinns and men! came there not unto you messengers from amongst you, setting forth unto you My signs, and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say: "We bear witness against ourselves." It was the life of this world that deceived them. So against themselves will they bear witness that they rejected Faith.
“You guys are religious without realizing it” is incredibly insulting.

Mark 10:17-27,
I agree with most of what he says but I don't like how Stuart debates
It's scary to be fooled enough to disavow The Truth, exchange it for contemporaries and inconsistencies
Students saying that 500 people who saw risen Jesus were believers....
Actually, those 500 were Jews and became followers of Jesus after they saw Him risen
Cliff's son really stepped in on this one. You could tell Cliff's patience was tired.
I would like to ask cliff what he thinks about the fact that every marginalized people have some kind of savior they think is going to save them. It happened when the whites started taking out the Indians believed they would be saved by something to I can’t remember what it was they believed I think it talks about it in bury my heart at wounded knee. The main point is the marginalized or endalved tend to believe someone is coming to save them it seems to happen time and again. Even the Jews thought their savior was going to come back and literally save them here on earth not die and figuratively save them so they would have an after life I believe that’s why Jews reject Jesus? Is that correct?
The early Christians weren't a marginalized group already existing in the Roman Empire that needed a savior. They were believers in response to an event that had occurred, which was the resurrection of Christ. The promise of salvation had preceded any marginalization. Also, the New Testament wasn't written first and then people were made to believe it. The resurrection occurred which triggered the writings of the New Testament. If there was no resurrection, there's no Christianity.
Referencing Francis Collins to defend Christianity is not a winning argument.
“People will not die for a lie” but they will if they don’t know it’s a lie. All religions have martyrs.
Absolutely correct. Even more plausible when you consider that we are talking about over 2000 years ago. Not to say that people living back then were more stupid, I don't believe they were any less intelligent than people today but they would have had far less knowledge about how the things we observe in nature work, like lightning and thunder for example.
They observed and heard the lightning and thunder phenomenon, just like we do today and reasoned that it was being controlled by higher beings, gods etc who were literally throwing the lightning bolts and making the roaring sounds in their righteous anger. That's not necessarily stupid, far from it, that was actually clever reasoning for the time but it lacked knowledge, hence they came to the wrong conclusion even though their ability to reason was fine in and of itself. Peoples levels of knowledge and their levels of intelligence are often understandably confused but they are separate things. Very important to understand the difference.
To be honest, had I been born back then and lived in those times, I would almost certainly have been convinced of all kinds of stuff just like that, which we now know to be false. It's hardly surprising even in the least that back in those days, people were convinced that a man rose from the dead after nearly three days. For people who were already convinced that magic and gods exist, rising from the dead for them was just another 'amazing phenomenon of the gods". They would have been prepared to accept anything, all they had to be told was that "the gods were involved", that's all, and it was fine as far as they were concerned.
Not to say it definitely didn't happen but the willingness of people to believe such a thing would have been much stronger than today because we all know now that biologically, the idea of a human body coming back to life after a few days is out of the question under NORMAL circumstance. A few minutes, sure, even a few hours if efforts have been continuously made to try and keep their bodily functions operating, sure, that has been known but after nearly three days would require something that defies all our modern understanding to occur in order for us to accept this and it is more difficult now, although there are quite obviously people who still believe it because they are convinced that there is a God who can defy our understanding of biology.
Well, that is kind of self-evident, isn't it? But the disciples were in the unique position of knowing empirically whether or not the message they carried was true. And even doubters like you recognize the value of the teachings of Jesus, while your own moral conscience demonstrates that God exists. (Romans 2:14-15) Or are you one of those who is willing to say that there isn't anything wrong with anything? If you judge yourself by the standard of The 10 Commandments, would you find yourself innocent or guilty? Do you believe that evil doers should be punished?
Yea, he said that at the beginning...lol
@@JohnCashin Excellent points John, when you think about it, this is where the concept of sacrifices came from.. offering things we held in high regard as offerings to this unseen God that shook the ground violently and destroyed homes and killed people in the process, .. they wouldn't have a clue about why earthquakes occurred or why floods wiped out communities.. the only rational explanation open to them was that it MUST have been some supernatural being beyond the clouds that was angry with them for some reason, so if they could appease that God in the sky, and give him something precious, a burnt offering of some description, he would refrain from his anger and not shake the ground again, .. the Old Testament is full of the Israelites making burnt offerings to the God they believed in. You make an excellent point about how these people weren't stupid, given their lack of knowledge it would make perfect sense that an unseen God was somehow looking down on them and making the sky crash with thunder, and throwing down lightning bolts, or shaking the ground. It HAD to be an unseen God, it couldn't be anything else, we would think the same today if all of our scientific knowledge was taken away.
It took people with exceptional minds to work out that, no, in actual fact, there is a perfectly good reason why those things happen, and we CAN explain it. The more and more we learned, the less this unseen God was relevant to explain it. When you think about it, even Christianity itself is based on a child sacrifice.. that of Gods son. It's all fascinating stuff.

I am the Lord thy God! Thou shalt have no other Gods but me!
Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain!
Thou shalt keep the Sabbath Day holy!
Thou shalt honor father and mother!
Thou shalt not kill!
Thou shalt not commit adultery!
Thou shalt not steal!
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor!
Do not let thyself lust after thy neighbor’s wife!
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, nor his farm, nor his cattle, nor anything that is his!
But I can hug a total stranger and those same endorphins are released.

The first guy is creating such a moot argument. The Jewish leaders killed Jesus because they knew the Romans would kill them. They theorised it was better for Jesus to die than for Rome to march on Jerusalem. Guy get your history right.
It is He Who sendeth down rain from the skies: with it We produce vegetation of all kinds: from some We produce green (crops), out of which We produce grain, heaped up (at harvest); out of the date-palm and its sheaths (or spathes) (come) clusters of dates hanging low and near: and (then there are) gardens of grapes, and olives, and pomegranates, each similar (in kind) yet different (in variety): when they begin to bear fruit, feast your eyes with the fruit and the ripeness thereof. Behold! in these things there are signs for people who believe.
What free will? If all you are is chemicals amd atoms that it's not free will the chemicals and atoms make you do things!
Like Cliffe always says "you can't live out your worldview"!
its so sad seeing that people believe there just cells and nothing else in embarrassing honestly accept christ
Revile not ye those whom they call upon besides Allah, lest they out of spite revile Allah in their ignorance. Thus have We made alluring to each people its own doings. In the end will they return to their Lord, and We shall then tell them the truth of all that they did.

Romans 1:18-19 NASBS
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, [19] because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.
What is with this fighting sooooooo hard to run away from the truth? in so many of these videos it feels like some of these youths are fighting really hard against the Holy Spirit who is convicting them in real time.
Idk how you can say love is endorphins being released in your brain. Endorphins could be released sitting on the toilet. Does that mean you love going to the bathroom?
I think I prefer Philemon 1:16 because I live in a place the u.s. would have been attacking
Wert thou to follow the common run of those on earth, they will lead thee away from the way of Allah. They follow nothing but conjecture: they do nothing but lie.
How do these kids think they are their own god, yet are 18-22 years old. How naive..
You can’t see Love unless you have technology
Is it possible to see "nothing"? Is it possible to prove "nothing" exists? Is it possible to detect "nothing" in a vacuum? Then how can an atheist claim "nothing" created everything, if they can't even prove the existence of "nothing" itself?
Verily, this is My way, leading straight: follow it: follow not (other) paths: they will scatter you about from His (great) path: thus doth He command you. that ye may be righteous.
He is wrong. "Title"
People WILL die for a lie. If they believe it's TRUE.
If faith is all you need to support your belief?
Well?
You can believe anything.
Faith requires no evidence.
A revelation from Him Who created the earth and the heavens on high.
if id be mean, id say they also wont get resurreced for it.
One day will He gather them all together, (and say): "O ye assembly of Jinns! Much (toll) did ye take of men." Their friends amongst men will say: "Our Lord! we made profit from each other: but (alas!) we reached our term - which thou didst appoint for us." He will say: "The Fire be your dwelling-place: you will dwell therein for ever, except as Allah willeth." for thy Lord is full of wisdom and knowledge.
Slow down Stu let the other guy complete a thought.
Christians preaching and posting the most negative comments about 2 young men finding their way in the world. Stuart wouldn't let them say a word and always with the gotcha laugh. practice what you preach model that behavior.
First dude will say anything to deny Christ. Sad.
These kids are brainwashed.
Thus do we make the wrong-doers turn to each other, because of what they earn.
My 👉point is this.... if u believe u believe... I BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST IS LORD
Jonestown, Waco, Heaven's Gate, Order of the Solar Temple, countless suicidal Jihadis... but no one dies for a lie, apparently.
For them will be a home of peace in the presence of their Lord: He will be their friend, because they practised (righteousness).
none of those cults lasted, here we are following Christ. nothing and nobody can stop the Way =Jesus Christ is Lord!
@@mikerussell2590 - Islam certainly has. So has Mormonism, Scientology, etc. Excellent company.
You make a lot of sense, but learn to be a better listner like your dad.
That is Allah, your Lord! there is no god but He, the Creator of all things: then worship ye Him: and He hath power to dispose of all affairs.
Just proves that you can be a dummy in college!!! LOLOLOLOL
They swear their strongest oaths by Allah, that if a (special) sign came to them, by it they would believe. Say: "Certainly (all) signs are in the power of Allah: but what will make you (Muslims) realise that (even) if (special) signs came, they will not believe."?
That first student is clueless.
I see your bookshelf has, "Seeking Allah, finding Jesus."
That's not Cliffe's house. That's a Christian resource house off campus. Students meet there to fellowship, have dinner, study, etc.
Say: "Come, I will rehearse what Allah hath (really) prohibited you from": Join not anything as equal with Him; be good to your parents; kill not your children on a plea of want;- We provide sustenance for you and for them;- come not nigh to shameful deeds. Whether open or secret; take not life, which Allah hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus doth He command you, that ye may learn wisdom.
so painful to listen to this kid
It is He Who maketh the stars (as beacons) for you, that ye may guide yourselves, with their help, through the dark spaces of land and sea: We detail Our signs for people who know.
Romans 1:22 King James Version
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Jesus is not a religion, He is a lifestyle
So eat of (meats) on which Allah's name hath been pronounced, if ye have faith in His signs.

This Asian guy doesn't even understand what these guys are saying and have a poor historical knowledge of those days. Also this guy doesn't came in open minded or to listen what they say. He already made up his mind to argue without listening to the end
Secular humanistic 'morality' is predicated only upon fear and weakness, NOT reason.
_Would someone like to try and argue otherwise?_
Not so Jesse, how do you arrive at that conclusion?

Cliffe should go back to high school and learn biology and logic.

And unto Allah leads straight the Way, but there are ways that turn aside: if Allah had willed, He could have guided all of you.
