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.

Man I wish I could be mentored by this man, listening to him has really been a huge blessing in my life.
Amigo, él ( éste hombre ), está siendo tu mentor.
Porque Dios lo está usando para tu Salvación en el nombre de Jesús.
Que Dios te bendiga en Cristo Jesús mi hermano.

Same homie, same.
@@oilimelavobnas5533 I think he means that he would love to be trained by Cliffe directly alive. Cliffe is a great teacher.
This girl again. Shows she's been thinking about these things. That's good. I pray for God's grace on her. May happiness and fulfillment, peace and love, all which come from God, meet her at the end of her search.
@Lyle Corne 3 minutes for me!
That is so kind... I pray the same for you, in Jesus' name!
I think she kind of meant to ask Cliff what if he lived in the time before Jesus and the New Testament. The answer is that there was the Old Testament before Jesus.
@@VN-rn7yg Amen! I need that at this difficult time in my life. Thank you and God bless you.
Ever since I've discovered Cliff's videos 3 days ago I've almost watched 2/3 of them! I don't know if this is healthy! I'm hooked!
Cliffe's videos are very healthy as this is learning more and more about God everytime you listen and watch these video's. I thank God that he has used cliff to preach the word of Jesus christ who loves us so much of what he done for us on the cross for all of the sins we have commited. Its great that people from the whole world watch these videos. All glory to God!❤️
I truly hope i get to meet you and your son one day! Great talk from both of you..WOW!!
Wait Stuart is his son ?
@@andydany3260 I believe it’s his brother.
I would say the same about God.
@@Fsunolesnation it is his son
She is still searching. I really hope she finds jesus. You can tell she is searching really hard for answers. Keep planting them seeds of knowledge cliffe. All pray for her.
Why be brainwashed like you, your sad, learn the truth of life
@@stephintheatre6335 why the hate tords me already from just that comment. what's your truth of life?
@@kazuma675 Is what you see out there in life the reality if it, I never mention I hate you, it's what you read in a book, anyone can write a book and claim that he's a God.
I’ve recently been born again as of Nov. 2018. I always believed in God and became a lukewarm Christian over time. I did shrooms, drank, but mostly smoked pot everyday. I look back and can’t believe how patient Jesus has been waiting for me (I’m 39). I have been saved by an angel or Jesus (not sure at the time) at least twice, but possibly 3 times.
A voice told me to let off the gas pedal when I was going through an intersection, as soon as I did, a truck blew a stop sign that would have killed me. I also fell asleep at the wheel another time and WOKE up while driving sitting upright and very much positioned like a robot. I ended up on the other side of town somehow! Fell into a pool’s deep end as a child, somehow my mother knew to check on me and pulled me out.
I had another experience where I was praying for a relative that was brutally murdered and burned alive years prior. I was HIT like a sledgehammer with unexplainable peace and joy. Instantly tears poured out of my eyes and I had the breath sucked out of me, totally winded. It was like I was experiencing the joy of heaven but my human body could not handle it! I also experienced an interaction with several demons in the basement of a psychic lady’s house who summoned them and spoke to them nightly. The fear and anger I felt as their eyes pierced my soul was like nothing of this earth......,over and over and over Jesus was calling me!!! I was too much of a fool to notice, even though I believed in Him!
In November of 2018, after a minor argument with my fiancée, I heard a demon’s voice talk to me telepathically in my mind- “I hate you, I’ll kill you and tear your family apart.” With the most conviction in my soul I commanded that thing to leave my house in the name of Jesus Christ. Every room in the house I yelled at it. I felt our Lord blast through my house and beat those things down! Whoosh gone! I prayed and thanked him and repented for allowing them to get close to me. He talked to me telepathically asking me questions and made me feel the guilt of my sins. Lots of information as a sort of psychic download into my heart and mind simultaneously. Question 1: “After all I’ve done for you, what have you done for Me, and others?” Question 2: “Am I NOT enough for you?” Then, the weight of my sins lifted, it was incredible.
Since that moment, I’ve had no desire to drink, smoke, blaspheme, masterbate, be angry, stressed out or sin at all. Wanting to share love with no other possible explanation. I notice the tiniest signs he puts in my path....I see them right away and chuckle, seeing He really does work in mysterious ways. I fully understand how to have a relationship with him and not need to physically see or hear our relationship. He is incredible people! Let him into your heart! I had felt in my soul the the extremes of joy and sorrow through just some of my life experiences..... Feeling the presence of God and Satan deep inside through strange encounters. For that, I am blessed to KNOW Christianity is the truth, yet I STILL tried to not fully commit.
He wants us all to repent and accept Him. He actually told me this! Don’t think you can sin all your life and God will be OK with it. He really will reward you if you follow with all your heart!!

Once you know the truth of something, you can never go back to a lie in the past that your told.
That makes me wonder why so many turn their backs on Christ by leaving the faith and reverting to atheism. It puts me in mind of Heb 6:4.
@@tabasco7915 Because its not the truth, your fed a lie, wake up your believing in a fantasy.
@@stephintheatre6335 And what do you base your assertion on?
@@tabasco7915 Because if you write a religious book and you want people to believe in a god you wrote down in it you should prove he exist, but you cant because gods are just make believe things written in religious books.
@@stephintheatre6335 Here is one of many good presentations ☛ ruclips.net/video/otrqzITuSqE/видео.html
That's why people don't understand how important Christ is. They think we've just chosen to follow some teachings.
No, we've made a commitment to one who historically died for our sins and rose from the dead.
Its not that Jesus is a guru, wise man, good teacher. It's about Him.
I completely agree. This took me a long time to understand on my road to being a believer, thank goodness I saw through all that and understood that Jesus was and is the real deal. He has saved my life. It isn't easy but I love him more than anything.
Can you please tell me how to become an disciple/Christian?
@@MISNEGRASLINDAS That is an interesting question. Whatever anyone tells you, being a Christian is NOT about WHAT YOU DO. It is about WHO YOU ARE, and WHO YOU ARE is a wonderful creation of God, who loves you and cares for you more deeply than you will ever care about anyone in this lifetime. Think of him as a parent, except a parent who is perfectly good and who loves unconditionally. Here is the problem I have. When I look at my life, when I think about the things I have done, and the thoughts that I think, I realize that my heart is filled with darkness and evil. I am a dirty filthy rotten sinner, and I deserve to be punished. In order to become a Christian, one must recognize this. BUT Jesus did something about it. He took the punishment I deserve and therefore satisfied God's justice. He loves me that much. Once I learned to grapple with that, I realized that although God will never force me to love him back, I can begin to walk with him. If you love someone you will listen to what they say, and so I began to try harder to obey what Jesus taught. In order to know what Jesus taught, you must do 2 things: if you are able, read the new testament, in its proper context, so you can get an idea of how Jesus wants each of us to live. Secondly, you must start listening more to your conscious, and tying yourself into the reality of God's goodness. God speaks to our hearts and we can know he right thing by listening to that voice. Also, be ready to fail REPEATEDLY. I still to this day struggle with lust, greed, dishonesty, and other vices that I hate, but I will still stick with Jesus because he offers me love in spite of the things I do. He loves me for who I am, and I am trying to love God for who he is, not for what he does in the same way. Hope that helps
@@josephtattum6365 tank you for taking the time to write to me,to be honest I didn't such a response, I appreciate it, but the reality is that my question was sarcastic one,sorry for that, my point was that nobody is nor knows how to become an disciple/Christian because not is teaching people to obey jesus's teachings ,instead they are being taught to follow some theological jesus whom doesn't exist .
But thanks for your kindness
@@MISNEGRASLINDAS You are welcome. Sorry I didn't realize your sarcasm.
That girl was there just to argue. After every response she just brought something else up to argue. She didn’t want to accept any of cliff’s responses when he gave a more reasonable answer.
What reasonable answers?

These college kids are so self absorbed and ego centric. Anti God but bow down to government...75% a.d.d
The Bible clearly says if Jesus Christ did not rise from the grave we are still in our sin. That out faith is pointless. Essentially there would have never been a following without the resurrection. Remember these same people who spread the news also went into hiding for fear of death. Things changed once they saw Jesus alive
Or, sin isn't real, because Jesus did not rise from the dead. Why should anyone care about someone appearing to be injured and dead long enough to be placed in a tomb, prepared, and then sealed in with a stone? For all I know, that is something any god can pull off, or that aliens with super-advanced atomic scale nanotechnology-enhanced bodies can pull off.
Christopher Johnson well, then you disagree with history and reality. Not a good position to be in. Regardless of your belief when you die you will face judgement for the life you lived. Running will eventually end
@@doctorwebman Jesus died on the cross, there is an empty tomb and no body has been found to this day, and you have skeptics and unbelievers such as Saul of Tarsus who became Paul the Apostle, James the half-brother of Christ who didn't believe but then became a follow and wrote the epistle of James, and much more.
God bless you and Jesus loves you my friend!
John 3:16- For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
@@peytonsingh6258 "Jesus died on the cross, there is an empty tomb and no body has been found to this day . . ."
I don't care whether or not Jesus was killed. What matters is whether or not he showed with evidence or proof that he created the universe, and is the greatest being in all of existence. A crucifixion doesn't do that, nor does a resurrection. A resurrection tells me nothing about whether or not you are God, the one who created the universe, and whose power, intelligence, and knowledge is unmatched.
An empty tomb does nothing to prove anything other than that nobody is in it, and it tells us nothing about how it got to be empty. You have zero evidence that places Jesus in the tomb you have to show me. As it is, I don't believe a common criminal like Jesus would have ended up in a tomb. Realistically, the Romans would have burned the body to make sure nobody could steal it, not use a tomb and a giant stone.
That nobody has found Jesus' body is not evidence that he rose from the dead, or flew away into the clouds. There are all kinds of people whose bodies are missing. That does nothing to show that they rose from the dead, or that they are God.
"and you have skeptics and unbelievers such as Saul of Tarsus who became Paul the Apostle, James the half-brother of Christ who didn't believe but then became a follow and wrote the epistle of James, and much more.
God bless you and Jesus loves you my friend!"
That people like Paul, who obviously had a mental illness, and didn't have any skeptical thinking skills, came to believe the gospel is not evidence that the gospel is true, nor is it evidence of God. Skeptics of Islam have also come to believe in Allah and Islam. So what? It proves nothing other than that they have low standards of evidence and proof, and don't understand what skepticism is all about.
"God bless you and Jesus loves you my friend!"
If he loves me, he'll stop threatening to brutally torture me forever, along with my mother, brother, sister, young nephew, friends, and neighbors, as well as the overwhelming majority of the human population, but he doesn't seem to bother repenting of the evil sins he commits, and clearly has no love for me or those I love, as he will brutally torture them all forever without shame, guilt, or remorse, which makes him a demon. I'd rather not be 'blessed' by a child-murdering soul-torturing demon that comes as an angel of light, which is the most disturbing part of the Christian god. Thankfully, he doesn't exist, so I don't need to do anything about it, nor do I need to be angry or hateful over it.
"John 3:16- For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
"
That verse would make far more sense, and would be far more honest, if it was written this way:
John 3:16 For Jesus so hated the world, that he brutally tortured 95% of the population forever.
@@doctorwebman You say that a resurrection would not show you anything about someone having authority to their words? Jesus claimed to be God and showed that to the world through His resurrection, backing up His claims. The resurrection shows that Jesus' words were not just philosophical, but true, and everything He said was God's revelation to us. Also, the Gospels are historical documents written by eyewitnesses and those who gathered eyewitness testimonies in their writings, such as Luke. Biblical scholars both believing and unbelieving acknowledge it's reliability and historicity. One of those very well known people is Bart Ehrman, a skeptic.
We know as well as Biblical Scholars, that Jesus was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimithea. We know that the disciples ran into hiding after Jesus was killed, we know that Jesus' tomb was guarded because the religious leaders knew Christ had claimed He would rise from the dead, and we know that the tomb is empty now. If anyone's body is not found that doesn't really mean anything, but if someone claims they will be raised from the dead, claims to be the Son of God, God in the flesh, and there are historical documents that record it, you can be sure that the resurrection is more than enough evidence for us to come to the logical conclusion that Jesus did in fact resurrect, is the Son of God, God manifest in the flesh, and you are created in His image. Showing Jesus truly prophesied, has supernatural abilities, and is God.
I recommend watching "Lee Strobel: The Case For Christ" on youtube. He researched Jesus's life and resurrection for 2 years trying to disprove it and came to the evidence that Christ did in fact rise from the dead. In that video he gives you his personal testimony and pieces of what he came across.
Romans 3:23- for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 6:23- For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 10:9- because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
God doesn't threaten you with eternal torture. God is just and all-loving at the same time, meaning that He must punish evil at His appointed time, but also loves us so much to take the punishment on Himself- Jesus Christ dying on the cross paying the price for our sins, being buried, and being raised again from the dead 3 days later. So that if we repent (Being truly sorry for, confessing our sins, and turning away from them) and place our trust in Jesus Christ as our Lord (Master) and Savior, God gives us eternal life! God wants that for all my friend, and you too! Jesus loves you! God bless you!
God gives us the free will, the choice, to receive His redemption through Jesus Christ the Son of God, the forgiveness of sins.
Colossians 1:14- In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
God bless you my friend!
Proud follower of Christ🙌✝
If someone were to ask me "Who do you know on this planet that emulates Jesus?" Cliffe and his son are 2 men I would say remind me of Christ.
100%. Even when you see the moments when Cliffe gets a little angry, you’ll notice that even Jesus got angry with the hypocritical Pharisees who denied their consciences and rational minds to justify their selfish and greedy desires. Jesus calls the Pharisees all types of bad names, but those bad names are the truth. They really were wicked and hypocritical people.
So many have a problem with repenting of Sin. It is shocking that these youths have not heard the evolutionist theory is dead. Why is it so hard for so many to look around and NOT see that there must BE a great INTELLIGENT CREATOR!! IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR NOTHING TO HAVE CREATED EVERYTHING, HOW ATHEISTS BELIEVE THERE IS NO GOD IS BAFFLING. THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO. God Bless Pastor may we have some interesting discussions on the flip side.
Excellent: Praise Yeshua.
🙏🕎🕊✡🦁
It’s great how you share the gospel openly in a non threatening way that brings down the defense mechanism that most street preachers who preach fire and brimstone have trouble grappling with. God is just but how can we reach those lost without allowing creating a dialogue that of faith, hope, and love that nurtures our heart, mind, and soul. God bless you for reaching out to the young adults.
Love M.Scott Pecks books. I found them before I was born again and God used them and everything I was going through to lead me to Him. Praise Jesus!
Praise GOD ( I AM THAT I AM ) in the name of JESUS!!! Amen! Amen! Amen!
1:05 Cliffe stood like this and I can't help but think "wow. Stuart looks so much like this at times" 😆
Amen praise the Lord Christ Jesus!
Amen! Praise God! He is coming very soon. ⭐
Cliffe, as a Christian I find myself battling with the idea that if you believe and trust in Jesus you will have eternal life, and Jesus saying many will say to him lord lord they did all this in his name and he will say begone for I never knew you. Any way you could address that in a video one day please? Thank you, Sir.
God bless you Cliffe and Stuart.
While I do commend Cliffe for doing what he does and I do enjoy these videos from time to time, I believe that a lot of souls walk away without being touched to a degree of which can be done to save... If that makes sense. Most of these talks address the carnal mind instead of the severity of sin and the debt we are in because of our nature. The heart. The gospel and highlight of each person sins should be spotlighted with direct conviction. People just come in for a casual talk to go back and forth without actually understanding the wrath hanging over their head and the opposite position we stand on, according to the line in the sand. They go back and forth trying to debunk or test without much sincerity of actually learning the message Cliffe represents. Again... They come in with their own logical and reason - concrete foundation. Carnal mind. To shatter that, the truth and gospel needs to pierce the core. Great delivery and acceptance from the crowds, however this lacks more substance. Meat and potatoes. God help us.
Well to a degree I think we can all agree with what you're saying that there should be a little more meat and potatoes, but to another degree I disagree. The beauty of human free will is that we can still choose whether to accept the substance that is presented to us or we can just walk away from it. But the fact that we can walk away from the evidence is also a curse of free will as well because you're robbing yourself of the truth. At the end of the day there are some people who will still never be convinced or change their mind even if there is good evidence. That's the main difference between a skeptic and a cynic. A skeptic will believe once the evidence is presented them. A cynic is someone who won't believe even if there is.
Well I have to disagree. It's the Holy Spirit Who can and will convict and show what Truth is. Actually God came to me as an atheist, broken and depressed, saving my life. But it wasn't for another year seeking this One, when I was shown the Truth in Jesus His Son. After receiving Him into my life did He then show me what a sinner I was. And let me tell you, we "Can't Handle The Truth" :) without the Lord then forgiving and taking it away (my sin). Listen to Afshin Javid's testimony, a former jihadist whom the Lord saved. He's on youtube, and it's pretty amazing. God knows who to put who where to reach other's and I think Cliff is good for the student crowd.
Love you Cliff!
Thank you!
Thanks Cliffe
Pray WITHOUT CEASE!
We all have to make moral decisions about situations or personal positions that have never been discussed in the Bible and somehow we all still are capable of living meaningful lives, and function in a society.
The discourse here is bitter sweet...bitter that so many of our youth have no solid foundation in GOD, let alone, Christ and that they believe in so many other things contrary to Christ...but sweet, because these kids are gathered around and you can tell that some of them are doubting their doubts and struggling to get to the truth
Yes! Love this comment!
@@user-cu3xn4xj3i I pray for clarity and revelation 🙏🏾
we should pray that GOD open her eyes and her understanding as he did with us, so many people have yet to grasp the understanding that death is not the end, and that we can have an eternal life through Jesus Christ.
5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

Thanks, Cliffe for your logical yet passionate exposition of our faith. I have a question for you - I know some atheists who say that Jesus Christ was a mythical figure, for whom there is no historical evidence. What proofs or evidence is there that I can cite in order to rebut the view that Christ never existed?
@@saintpaulofyoutube4416 Thanks for that. I'll look into it. It's to try to combat this view which atheists always trot out.
@@saintpaulofyoutube4416 Well, recently, quite a few have done EXACTLY that.
Logical???
Sin did not begin when we were given free will. Satan and his fallen angels were sinful way before us.
I think we should explain what it means when we say: “Jesus died on the cross”.
It essentially means that the wages of sin is death according to the standards of the Holy God. And when Jesus took the place for our punishment, our debt was paid. We who believe are now set free.
Even if they disagree, they need to know what we are talking about.
He can take the debt back I have no need for it.
@@LuciferAlmighty the debt has been paid, you can reject it because you have a free will but as someone once said to me "be careful what you do with your free will."
@@JohnjOcampo nothing has been paid considering it never happened.

The written word is a form of time travel that shows the truth. One just need search and show some faith. There is more than one record of Christ.
If you take Christ and act like he really lives, but you know he does not then the first time that a tragedy comes your way you will drop Christ like a hot rock.
The enemy will not attack any one who the enemy already has in his grasp , he attacks those who are in the path of salvation .

And its not the first attack this is from the age of 12 the attacks were relentless .

Sin is 'Incurvatus in se' (Latin for "caving inward on oneself"). It is a theological phrase describing a life lived "inwardly" for oneself rather than "outwardly" for God and others. Making yourself and not God the center of your life. It doesn't go well and it never ends well.

@@emmanuelo1998 What evidence do you have to show that Jesus rose from the dead? Also, what is it that a resurrection is supposed to prove, exactly? It does nothing to show that God exists, or that Jesus created the universe and is the greatest being in all of existence.
@@emmanuelo1998 "the Bible."
If you are saying the Bible is the evidence, you should know that you cannot use the claim as evidence for the claim, as that is a logical fallacy known as circular reasoning. You need evidence showing that the Bible is correct when it claims that Jesus performed miracles and rose from the dead before I can take the Bible seriously.
As for pride, you should know that Charles Manson explained in an interview that he would rob his cult members of their pride to make them easy to control, and it worked very well. That is why religions try to rob people of their pride, so they will have no self-esteem. Pride is not evil, and is only an honest assessment of one's actual associations and abilities, and to be satisfied with them.
"A child of God has faith in Christ. Without faith its impossible to please God."
That is what ancient men said when they realized they had no evidence or proof to back up what they said. They need you to have faith, because faith is belief without a good reason to believe, that is, belief without evidence or proof. It is no more than willful gullibility . . . the reason people give when they have no good reasons to believe something.
"Without holiness no man shall see the Lord."
I don't understand what 'holiness' is supposed to be, or why it has anything to do with you demonstrating that the resurrection took place.
"Only way to live in holiness overcome sin is to have grace."
I define sin as doing deliberate unnecessary harm to others, and I don't have a sin problem to overcome, because I don't have a problem with harming others.
"God has given us proof by his word."
This is circular reasoning, and the Bible is clearly the word of ancient primitives who didn't know anything, not the word of God. God would not have a book that is full of errors, contradictions, failed prophecies, fake histories, and the immoral laws of ancient barbarians who owned and beat people as property.
"o ask for more is a sign that person wants to take risk not worth taking living like there is no God. Gambling with soul. Eternity is too long to be wrong"
I have no reason to think I am gambling with an eternity, since I have no reason to think there is anything after death. What evidence or proof do you have for the Hell you think your god created?
@@emmanuelo1998 "U still argue against God word."
It is obviously not the word of God, as it contains errors, contradictions, failed prophecies, fake history, and immoral laws. It is the word of ancient men, not God.
"U choose be damned or be saved."
You can keep your sick and twisted threat of murder and torture to yourself. If I put a gun to your head, and said, "You can bow to me, become my slave, worship me, and love me, or you be shot in the head," and then I didn't shoot you because you bowed to me, would you then say that I 'saved' you? Would I be your hero, if I saved you from myself, and only because you let me enslave you to save your life?
I don't choose your god, and I don't choose to burn in Hell. This is mostly due to the fact that I don't think either of them are real, so I feel no need to make a choice in the first place. What evidence do you have for the existence of Hell, and that people will go there?
Are you incapable of empathy? Is that why you have no love for those you think your demon god will brutally torture forever? Are you aware that, if the Bible is true, the overwhelming majority of the human population will be tortured by your god forever, which is utterly evil, and the worst horror story ever told?
To brutally torture someone for an infinite amount of time is the infinite abomination of sin and evil, and every other sin pales in comparison, falling infinitely short of it. You should be ashamed of uttering such a disturbing, twisted, deranged, and utterly immoral threat to another human being.
For that first question a better response would have been to quote John 1:3. Time is a part of His creation. Without Yeshua, there is no time to go back into nor is there anything to find out because everything would cease to exist. Period.
As we know, we are no longer the unbelievers we once were,
when we were without faith,
and therefore were denied the effectual communications with God, with our prayer life.
We therefore know that today we can rejoice because God will give us any good thing provided it’s good for us.
However we do not need to kneel and ask God if we need to keep His 10 commandments.
We do not need to ask God if He has done away the 4th commandment.
Search the scriptures.
You will not find anywhere where this commandment has been removed or altered.
In Colossians 2:16
When Paul is talking about sabbath days he is referring to the 7 annual ceremonial sabbaths found in Leviticus.
Good job Paul.

People just don't get that Christ is not about His teachings and that leading to better moral behaviour.
He is the eternal creator God Who shed His blood to free mankind from sin.
Our educational system is broken.
Great video!!! I've said that people do not want to admit they are a sinner.
Like Jonathan Edwards, Charles Spurgeon or Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Cliffe Knechtle contends for the faith ... the faith that was entrusted to God's holy people (Jude 1: 3). He treats these young people with respect, reminding me of the late Francis Schaeffer.
Let us pray for Cliffe's missionary work.
I met death as a straight edge Atheist who was calling myself the Savior Yako Romero in my independent wrestling career. I found out that not only does eternity start after death, but Jesus of Nazareth is God Almighty amen.
No one died & rose from the dead. I & me is singular presentence first person. I & me always reffering to oneself.
Jesus did my friend.
Look at how this girl tries in a subtle way to get Cliff to entertain the “what if” scenario. There is NO salvation without the Savior. To even try to make a statement back to her the way she wants, is denying Christ. To say that you could earn salvation by your works. Even to try and share her worldview for 5 minutes seems like a demonic trick. We are ALWAYS under attack for believing in Christ. This thinking will chip away at your faith over time if you let it
nothing wrong with "what if" scenario's Mike, I think she made a good point, if it turned out that Jesus wasn't the son of God, or course, it would be a major shock to the Christian faith, it would be akin to someone pulling the rug from under your feet, ... but after you'd got over the shock, I'm sure you'd dust yourself down, and gather your thoughts and simply get on with life, doing the same kind of things you do in your daily life now. I don't think you'd be running around like a headless chicken. It was a good question... i think Cliffe even agreed with her.
@Alex Ostojic If that's the case Alex, please, keep on believing in God/Jesus. I'm sure you will anyway. Surely if what you said is true, the prisons around the world would be full of atheists. Look at the figures, atheists are a tiny proportion of wrongdoers. We humans are social creatures, it's in our best interest to get on with eachother, look at other social creatures, our primate cousins, apes and chimps, they have a social order and rules to live by, when we use the term 'animal'in relation to a human, we generally mean someone who is out of control, but in reality, virtually all animals have a sense of shared purpose, they will care for their young, work together as a team, they have a shared purpose, as we do, to get on with eachother. You need to look at the bigger picture. We are all a part of nature.
@Alex Ostojic atheists can live anyway they want Alex, the only thing ALL atheists have in common is a shared belief that we don't think God exists. It benefits the group in general to have rules in life, otherwise chaos ensues, it may benefit me in the short term to steal from you for example, but there are consequences to our actions. As I said, look at the animal kingdom, eg: Chimps and Apes, they don't all go around doing whatever they want, just like us, they have basic rules, if they step out of line the other members of the group have punishments meted out to them. Maybe you need to watch some nature documentaries. If you go back to early man, they lived in very small communities, it was essential that they all worked together and cooperated as a group to ensure they were able to catch prey, .. we were 'hunter-gatherers' Alex, type that phrase into google, collectively they would survive better as a group than going it alone. This is where we learned the basic morals in life, don't kill, don't steal etc.
You are absolutely right in one sense, human behavior isn't naturally to share, our instinct is to keep something good for ourselves, a baby/toddler will naturally go to take a toy off another baby, the mother has to teach it not to do that, in order to live in a group in relative harmony we need rules.
Regarding sin and pleasures these usually refer to sex, again , it comes down to consequences for our actions, you can't go around having sex with whoever you want to in life, if the woman doesn't want to have sex with you and you go ahead. then thats rape, and it's going to have serious consequences, we are social creatures, again, we have basic rules. I don't think these rules came from God, we invented them in order to thrive and survive as a species. If you read any book on human morals from a secular author. they will explain this much better than I ever could. There are lots of video's here on RUclips that also explain it much better than i can.

@Alex Ostojic There is no ultimate right way to live as i see it, humans are so incredibly diverse you would never get 100% agreement, that seems clear to me. I guess a wrong way to live would be to act completely selfishly and to have no thought whatsoever for others, and to cause others unnecessary pain. There was no single human who decided it, again, you'd have to go back millions of years to see how those first ape like creatures behaved towards one another. As to why does my brain agree with it, I've said lots of times we learn our morals from our parents, and later from society, it's a constant learning process, I think even fairly old people like me (at 61) can learn how to be better human beings. There are lots of nuggets of wisdom in Holy books like the Bible, but by the same token there are lots of ways we can treat each other better that are not in the Bible. If God inspired that book, it leaves a lot to be desired as a book of morals. In my humble opinion.
@Alex Ostojic working out what is better for humans isn't rocket science Alex, if animals can determine what is better than something else, I'm pretty sure humans can do it to an even greater degree. YOU DO NOT NEED A GOD TO TELL YOU WHAT IS 'BETTER' , we can work that stuff out for ourselves, and we have done. If i hit you on the head with a brick, is it better than not hitting you with a brick? Can you think of any circumstance whereby it would be better for you to be hit with a brick, than not hit with a brick?. By 'better' i mean something which is causes less unnecessary pain than something else. You are making something that is very easy to determine, a lot harder to explain. We humans have something called 'empathy' which allows us to determine whether someone else is in pain, we can make that call fairly easily based on someone elses demeanor.. ie, whether they are screaming in pain, or acting normally. So a baby being tortured for fun, would be shrieking and screaming in agony, so we can make a fairly reasonable assumption that the baby is not enjoying being tortured. It's not simply down to me as a human being to tell others whether something is wrong, we can make that decision collectively when it comes to things like torture, using the 'empathy' guide of "would I like it if someone did that to me"?, you can determine fairly quickly whether something is good or bad or better.
Alex, let me ask you a very very simple question. would you like it if I hit you in the face very hard with a brick? ..and more importantly, *why* would you like/not like it? It's an obvious answer I would say for any rational person. I have a feeling you won't answer me for some reason, I shall await your answer with interest.
If Jesus did not rise from the dead, then all the wonderful things that he did are just that. Just believing that he is a prophet, a great teacher and a great healer, is not enough. He was crucified and rose again on the third day. That is key; without that Christianity would be like any other religion.
The first time I sort of disagreed with Cliffe on anything is the Truck driver story... yes the truck driver was doing wrong and so was his wife... but there is still a MASSIVE difference between someone with an addiction vs someone selling to those with that addiction. ie a drug dealer selling drugs vs an occasional drug user. Yes they are both doing wrong, but the drug dealer is on a completely different level than the drug user. Its like getting in a fist fight on the street vs being a professional mma fighter. Not comparable. But yes both are still fighting and in the case of the truck driver both he and his wife are wrong... but still not comparable.
Denying Jesus is the same as denying the existence of God AND believing in Jesus is the same as believing that God exists. 🐐🐏
To believe God exist is not salvation only being born from Heaven is Salvation this is why it's not about us to ''decide'' for it's all about God WILL AND GRACE.
Second to comment.
1st to reply to this comment. 😃
The reason why we are becoming alienated according to Jesus is because we are slave of sin. And to be free we need God's Grace. Without it, we can't do it by ourselves. Sin takes out our freedom.
If he could travel in time and Jesus did not exist we wouldn’t be talking about Jesus
16:00 about being reborn, rebirth is the same thing and circumcision of the heart... its the casting away of the laws we are taught and finding the morals God placed in our heart.... children are not punished by the full weight of the law duo to a diminished knowledge and understanding of law.... law has become a forskin over the heart that stops us thinking moraly and makes us think legaly.

PRIDE OR HUMILITY
Pride is the original sin, when Satan said I will be like the most high, That's pride. Pride got him cast from heaven, got him Eternal damnation. The inability to see wrong in one's self, the inability to be humble. Humility is the opposite of pride. Pride does not allow oneself, to see one's own wrongdoing, it blinds themselves to their own reality. Humility allows one to see one's own errors, one's own shortcomings, and maybe the fact that everything one has been told is a LIE. Our Father in heaven loves Each and every one of us very much. It is us that needs to learn how to Love him. Most don't even know his name! WOW!! How do you Love someone if you don't know their name. How do you have a relationship with someone who you don't know. Have you looked for his name. Not many names!!! He has one name. It's not God or Lord God, either! Each one refers to a unknown Diety. His name is Yahuah !!! Yod Hey Uah Hey a four-letter tetragrammaton, look it up. Proverbs 1:7 The fear of Yahuah (God) is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom, and instruction. This is a major problem because nobody fears Yahuah (God) anymore, they can do whatever they want, to anyone, act any way they want, and live according to their own devices. Totally Disobedient to his Word. They fear losing jobs, or houses, or car's, or wives, or Kids, or whatever their lust of the flesh is. Whatever they pick to love over the father, whatever they put before the father, is more important to them always. And tell somebody the truth, they can't stand the TRUTH. They would have to change things in their life drastically, if they listen to the truth. Yahusha is the truth you can't hide from the truth. What a person believes has nothing to do with what is fact. Facts are absolute, anything else is false, from the enemy, and a LIE. Fact, the the letter J was invented in 1524, now if that is a absolute fact. Then Jesus was not the Messiahs name. It's not Greek, Aramaic, or Latin, definitely not Hebrew. It cannot be a English translation. As there aren't English people, white people, or black people that speak English named Jesus. Fact, He was born A Hebrew Baby named Yahusha Bar Yoseph. Yahuah the Creator manifest Flesh. Scriptures clearly state, there is one name that you can be saved bye. That name is NOT Jesus. It Didn't Exist!!!! How plain can it be!!! People Go to jail, for stealing someone else's identity. To deny Yahusha, and call him by a defiled name, when they know his correct name, is Rebellion. 1st Samuel 15:23 for Rebellion is as the sin of Witchcraft and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry, because thou Hast rejected the Word (the Word is Yahusha)of Yahuah (God), why he has also rejected the. Now If they don't know his name, that's thier fault for not looking hard enough. Seek him with all your might, not what your told, or what is easily picked up. The Traditions of men is what it is. If they can't see that, then I'm really sorry for them, for they don't have eyes to see. They have to be bind. They can't see!!! They get something called cognitive dissonance, that is the uncomfortable feeling when your core beliefs are destroyed by facts that contradict your core belief. Look it up! Fact, the whole bible was written by men, divinely inspired men, but men. All but one part, the 10 Commandments, they were penned by the very finger of YAHUAH (God). Written in stone forever. As the bible says clearly, Everlasting covenant. Something about the word Everlasting, That's FOREVER. Fact, the catholic church changed the sabbath in 324 ad, I guess the traditions of men overrides YAHUAH (God) the creator. Psalms 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, Yahuah(God)will not hear me. Iniquity = Disobedience
Isaiah 42:8 (Hebrew)I am Yahuah; that is my name. I will not give my glory to another, neither my praise to graven images.
1st John 3:4 (kjv) Everyone who sins breaks the law, in fact sin is breaking the law (Hebrew) He who sins transgresses the Torah, for sin is transgression of the Torah
1st John 2:3-4 kjv And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his Commandments. He that saith I know him, and keepeth not his Commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Isaiah 30:9 This is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Yahuah. That would say to the seers, see not, into the prophets, prophesy not unto us right things, but speak unto us smooth things, prophesie deceit. 2nd Thessalonians 2:10-12 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved, and for this cause YAH (God) shall send them great delusion, That they should believe a lie, that they all might be damned to believe not the truth, and had pleasure in unrighteousness. Unrighteousness = Disobedience again. Everything you were ever taught is a lie. Everybody in the world grows up under government, govern= rule, ment= mind. You have been programmed, The only thing that you ever knew is what your parents who were raised by government told you, the school you attended, which is the government, and the churches are all controlled 501 c 3 divisions of the government, they make you believe in the name Jesus. A name that did not exist, it didn't exist!!!!! Why can't people understand about that!! If it's not the truth it's a lie. We were taught we live on a round ball, flying through space at 66 million miles an hour, while you're flying around the sun at 550,000 miles per hour, while your spinning at 1069 miles per hour, that's a lot of movements for you to not feel one thing. Their are 400 places in the King James 66 book cannon bible, that states somehow that the Earth is stationary, and does not move. The Sun and moon were made on the fourth day, what did earth revolve around until then!! Come on You don't believe Genesis!!! We do not believe our own eyes, and our own senses, we believe what somebody tells us. Nobody can prove curvature, because there isn't any!!
A simple Lighthouse proves there is no curvature, NASA says 66 feet of curvature at 10 miles, 6666 feet of curvature at a hundred miles, how can a 70 foot Lighthouse be seen for 30 or 40 miles, Google it. The stature Liberty is 300 ft tall and it can be seen for 60 to 70 miles at 60 miles it would be under over 2,000 feet of curvature. Water is always level it doesn't bend. It can't be round guys, no matter how much you want it to be, because you've been taught that. It's a LIE, and if they can make you believe a lie that big, what else do you believe, either can see it or you can't, you have eyes to see and ears to hear, or you're deaf, dumb, and blind. Choose the Creator not Religion. WAKE UP we have been asleep for two thousand years. For the Earth is not for the pleasure of men but it is a place of instruction for his soul, a man more readily feels the strings of his spirit in the face of disaster, then in the lap of luxury. The tuition of the soul is long, and arduous course of instruction, and in training. Humility is the key to unlocking the Door to the Kingdom. Obedience unto Death allows you to enter.
You can not choose to believe something you can be convinced but that’s out your control
Anyone else catch the lysol on the bookshelf;)?
Lol bruh chiiilll
I have to call it fake based on the story behind him.
Matthew 2, says Jesus was conceived during the reign of Herod and was a young child when mary and Joseph fled the country. Herod died in 4 BC. In Luke 2 after Quirinius became governor of Syria in 6 AD(actual history) mary and Joseph went back for the census while she was pregnant. Jesus was born before 4BC and still in the womb for the census in 6 AD. How is it possible?
You mention that Herod died in 4 BC. You are correct. There are a total of six Herods mentioned in the New Testament. Only one died before the birth of Christ. Food for thought.
Different Herod bud.
they cannot believe if they are not from the spiritual seed of Abraham they can see the light of Christ through the gospel but they are not born to stay in the light if they are not created ''good earth'' by the divine Potter ,we are entirely God workmanship ! Christ die for many not for all because not all are destined to eternal life only the ones the Father gave to Christ for their salvation will believe in the true Light who is Jesus and receive eternal life.

Cliffe Knechtle believes that man has a "free will" to come to God if he so chooses. The Bible on the other hand says "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God." Romans 3:10-11 Knechtle is not giving God all the glory for initiating the great work of salvation.
Why didn't you quote the whole chapter? It's better you read the whole chapter.
@london Derry
This is what you should have done.
From the Bible 👇👇
What then? are we better than they ? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: there is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways: and the way of peace have they not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.

JESUS IN HINDUISM PART-2
ATONEMENT FOR SINS:
Thertiriya Aranyaka verse 3 says, “Sarvapapa pariharo raktha prokshna mavasyam” which means, that the redemption is through shedding of blood only. For this purpose God allowed mankind to sacrifice animals, in order to make them realize that there is a penalty for everyone’s sins. Though the animal’s blood is not a substitute, it was expected that man would repent and turn away from his sinful ways, by seeing the blood of the animal which is being shed on his behalf. But mankind started practicing it just as a ritual, and thus came into condemnation.
If mankind were to be saved from this predicament, as Thertiriya Aranyaka 3rd verse says again, “…thad raktham Paranatmena punyadena baliyagam” which means, that blood has to be through the sacrifice of God himself. The Purusha Sukta says, there is no other way other than the sacrifice of Purusha Prajapati. Purushao vava yagna (Chandokya Upanishad 3.16.1), God, the Purusha is the sacrifice. Sama Veda Dandiya Mahabhramanam says, “Prajapathi devapyam aathmanam yagnam kruthva prayachita” which means, God will offer himself as a sacrifice for the redemption of mankind. Sathpatha Bhramanam says, “Prajapathi yagnayaga”.
VEDIC REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SACRIFICIAL PURUSHA:
The Rig Veda specifies ten important requirements for the sacrificial Purusha.
SHOULD BE WITHOUT A BLEMISH (NISHKALANGA PURUSHA):
Kaatyaayana Srautasootram describes in chapter six, that water and fire were to be used for the purification of the animals, since blameless (defectless) animals are not available in this world.
THE PURUSHA HAS TO BE SEPARATED FROM OTHERS:
While sacrificing the horse, the sacrificial horse is always separated from other horses. A bush of thorns is usually placed on the head of the horse to inform the people that this horse is separated for the sacrifice. Also the head of the horse is considered to represent the Purusha (Sathapatha Brahmana 13th kanda, 6.2.2).
THE PURUSHA HAS TO BE REJECTED BY HIS OWN PEOPLE:
In Itareya Brahmana it is written that the sacrificial animal should be rejected by its father, mother, brother, sister and friends (2.16).
THE YAGNA PURUSHA HAS TO SUFFER SILENTLY:
Rig Veda 5.46.1 says, “Like a horse I have yoked myself, well knowing to the pole. I seek neither release nor turning back”.
THE PURUSHA HAS TO BE TIED TO A POST:
In Satapata Brahmana it is written, never do they immolate an animal without tying it to a pole. “Na varute yapaat pasum alabhate kadachana (III-7.3.1)”. It is important to tie the animal to a sacrificial pillar before it is sacrificed. This pillar is called “Yupastampa (sacrificial pillar)”, which has now become a flag mast.
THE BLOOD OF THE SACRIFICIAL MAN SHOULD BE SHED:
Bruhat Aranyaka Upanishad (3.9.28.2) says, “Tvacha evasya rudhiram, prasyandi tvacha utpatah, Tasmaattadarunnaat praiti, raso vrukshadi vahataat”. As the sap comes of the cut tree, blood comes out of the Purusha who is cut.
THE SACRIFICED ANIMAL’S BONES SHOULD NOT BE BROKEN:
In Itareya Brahmana 2.6 it is stated that the sacrifice separates the twenty-six ribs of the animal without breaking them.
THE SACRIFICED PURUSHA SHOULD RETURN TO LIFE:
The Bruhat Aranyaka Upanishad says, “Yad Vruksho vrukshano rohati, mulannavatharah punah, martyah svinmrutyuna vruknah, kasmaanmulaat prarohati, Retasa iti maavocata, jivatastat praja yate, dhanaruh a iva val crau vruksho, anjasaa pretya sammbhava”, which means, if the tree is cut, it will grow again from its root. But after the man (martyah) was cut off by death, from which root does he come forth? Do not say that he is from the ratas (seed or semen) because ratas comes from the one who lives. Remember this man is dead. But this man (Purusha) comes alive on his own.
THE FLESH OF THE PURUSHA SHOULD BE EATEN BY HIS SAINTS:
In Satapata Brahmana (5.1.1.1,2) we find that Prajapati gave Himself up to them, thus the sacrifice became theirs, and indeed the sacrifice is the food of the gods (saints).
THE SACRIFICE IS FOR ALL:
Verse 8 in Purusha Sukta explains, Tasmaad yagnatsarvahutah, pasuntamscakre voayaryaa, naananyaan gramyaasca ye. By that sacrifice, all these originated: sprinkled ghee and all kinds of animals of the sky, forest and country. The significance of sprinkled ghee represents the original sacrifice.
Verse 9 of Purusha Sukta says: Tasmaad yagnat sarvahuta, nucha samaari jagnire, Chandaamsi jagnine, tasmaad yajustas naada jaayatah. From that sacrifice, Purusha offered everything that he had, including the Rig, Sama, Yazur Vedas and the Chandas (sacred writings).
HOW METICULOUSLY THESE VEDIC REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED IN JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH:
JESUS CHRIST WAS WITHOUT ANY BLEMISH:
In the Bible it is written, “Do not bring anything with a defect, because it will not be accepted on your behalf” (Leviticus 22:20). “Whether male or female, present before the Lord an animal without defect” (Leviticus 3:1). “In Him (Jesus Christ) there was no sin”
Cliffe..."You can't be an agnostic at a funeral because you have to decide, does God exist, or does God not exist?" This is of course a binary fallacy...there is also 1 - do multiple Gods exist?, 2 - is the question of the existence of a God or Gods an irrational or invalid question?, 3 - would there be any functional difference in our understanding if God existed or not?, 4 - can we even test for the existence of God?, 5 - is the question of the existence of God generated by an unconscious ulterior motive, conflict-of-interest, or over-active agency detection issue, 7 - having decided that you believe or don't in a God or Gods, does it change anything of substance?, 8 - is the world better understood or navigated with or without the belief in the existence of a God or Gods?, and finally, 9 - can you not retain logical agnostic status at all times considering the continuous birth and death of all manner of life around us, that the notion that a single funeral should guide our understanding is an N=1 problem, not worth considering alone.
"People of the Lie" Read it. Good book.
3:31 i'm pretty sure Jesus is the only person that points to himself as the source of all things. "IAM the way, the truth and the life" in another verse he says, "i give eternal life"
he doesnt say, my teaching give eternal life, but he himself...that is what makes christianity not like any other religion competing for followers. Mohammad, the founder of Islam says, I'm the messanger of allah, Buddha says something like, im the seeker of truth...but only Jesus claimed the truth as himself, he doesnt point outside of himself as the source of truth like the other founders of their religion do, he points to himself.
that is why without Jesus Christ, Christianity is worthless and is not supposed to exist, becuase it was Jesus who called his disciples out of their day jobs as fisherman, and out of their sin and changed their lives for them to make the decision of following him, if Jesus didn't exist those disciples would have never quit their day jobs and they would have had much different fates.
that is why, when athiests say that Jesus is a myth and never existed then they are just being ignorant to history. becuase Christianity isn't supposed to exist either if Christ didn't.
Christ is essential to christianity. Christianity is not a religion, definitely not
You can be an agnostic at a funeral. He can't show otherwise.
What? I don't think he meant what you think.
Sounds to me like that truck driver got a dose of his own medicine for cheating on his wife
Cliffe says you can't be agnostic at a funeral, my mother had a humanist celebrant give the reading, there were no religious references to God or Jesus, in between my mothers favorite music, she read excerpts from my mothers long and wonderful life, we heard about her cherished childhood, and lots of stories of adventures she had, the kindness she showed to others, the wisdom she gave out, we read her favorite poems and excerpts from books, it was a celebration of her life, it was a very emotional and wonderful experience of love, tears, laughter and applause.
But you celebrated the fact that she really was precious and cherished, that she was kind etc. Those are truth claims and convictions that you treat as real.
So you didn't just put her in the ground, without emotion, and move on.
That's what Cliffe is talking about.
You've chosen to act as if certain things really matter.
You're taking things for granted like love and kindness as if they are real and true.
Its impossible to be agnostic, because while you say you're agonistic, you're living as if a bunch of things are real and true.
Did you bury a bag of flesh, or a free willed, unique person with a soul that lives on? It’s one or the other, there is no in between. It’s either true, or not that she has a soul. A funeral is a great time to realize that
@@maxINaus Hmmmm, you say :"you've chosen to act as if certain things really matter"? Love and kindness are real things Sanjuro, I couldn't imagine a world that was devoid of love and kindness. Does something only matter if there is an afterlife in your view? I can accept the fact that I won't see my mother again, i have a ton of happy memories of her, I believe this life is the only one we get, .. which makes it much more precious to make the most of it while we're here.
@@mikegreen1429 There's no real evidence that we live on Mike, I can see that some people like the thought that we live on in some kind of paradise. Her funeral was the most uplifting and happy funeral I've ever attended. My mother would have greatly approved.
@@saintpaulofyoutube4416 There was a point made saintpaul, you don't need to believe in God to live a happy meaningful life.
If god doesn’t exist then we do not exist
Wasn't sin already here on earth when God created Adam and Eve was it not a Sinner that tempted them to disobey God?
Nope.
@@miehoen6212 Ezekiel 28 describes Satan as a cherub, who used to live in heaven until: “You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you.”
From here Satan is cast out of heaven to earth, where he tempts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, sounds like Satan was the first sinner to be on earth to me?
God in human form? what kind of teaching is that, and life after death? so in other words we never die in first place and we all have an immortal soul, those ideas came from pagans, also he doesnt even use the bible, you cant teach without it
But aren't all Christians a part of the body of Christ? Therefore, we're all part of God.
She doesn't want Jesus to be right, it seems. It's like she rather us all being a part of God.. that reality is nonsensical🤌🏾
7:10 Q, could we all be God and Jesus the 1st to self realise?
i would disagree with the answer cliffe gave... Yes Jesus said the LORD our God is one, but he also said, John 10: 30 I and my Father are one... he also said, John 14: 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.... i do believe that Jesus is saying that we can self realise and do the things he did by becoming one with God.... its taught in 1 Corinthians 3:16 and 6:19 that the body is the temple of the holy spirit and that we have the spirit of God in us,
further more its said that God is omnipresent, meaning in all places at once, if God is present in all things then we really are part of him and he in us... i believe in one God but i believe that 1 God is a 3in1 trinity, but maybe its more vast than a 3in1... he is in all things to God is all in 1.
so far i cant do anything greater than the things Jesus did but i am hoping that i do achieve that level of faith and understand the power and authority God has given to man...
Psalm 82: 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
If man makes up morality then we will do every evil ugly thing you can think of. There would be only love of oneself, and idolatry the likes of which has never been seen. If no God suffering on a level unimaginable.
If one is only moral out of fear of punishment from their imaginary gods , then they are admitting they are cunts on a leash, morals are the rules society frames to help build communities, many things considered immoral in one country are not considered so in another, as an atheist i have but one moral.code, do not do unto others that which I would not like others to do unto me, and to do for others that which I wish others would do for me, instantly I realise I am more moral.than any religions gods.
If the only morality you have is that you believe is from your god, that you are moral because you fear its retribution then you are nothing but a cur on a leash, morality is a man created construct on which without societies could not be formed, and man isa herd animal, what is considered immoral in one society is different to another, I being an atheist have a moral.code I live by, that is not to do unto others that I would not wish others to do unto me, and to do for all others that i would hope in the same circumstances they would do for me, instantly I am more moral than any theist.
Atheists can believe in an afterlife.
You mean there are no restrictions on belief? Wow. Tanks for nada.
I have read or heard a ton of atheists arguments and have yet to hear of one that does not say when we die we do not continue on in another form. So far all have said regarding this that dead = the end in all ways shapes and forms. Fin. No mas. Permanent dirt nap....
Now what is your definition of an afterlife?
@@googletaqiyya184 nonsensical babble
Cliffe you don't have faith in christ you have faith in propaganda.
The creator of.the universe should spread his message like a creator instead of using puny human effort.
No news, just an old fictional story.
I think Jesus never existed. There are hints of this in the synoptic Gospels.
He never showed how objective morals can't exist if there's no god.
Why do those without faith have such problems with their hearing/comprehension? Public schooling? He did not say that they cannot exist. He said there was no basis in fact or logic to derive objective morals from. You may be suffering from forest/trees syndrome. You live in a nation founded with Christian values which you currently enjoy but are at a decline along with the number of theists. You do not notice the oxygen in a room unless it drops a significant amount and the slower it drops the less apparent the loss until you pass out.
If we are merely bags of lucky self-propelled juice than what does it matter if we die or kill? Who cares, just bags of juice after all?
@@googletaqiyya184 incoherent nonsense
The Jesus character is a man made fiction constructed by anonymous writers over decades and centuries who personified wisdom, authority, power, and hope after the crushing defeat of the Jews by the Romans.
False, get an education.
Plenty of agnostics go to funerals
Fake news
Cliffe's lack of knowledge really hurts him in debates like not understanding agnosticism. He seems to be borderline brainwashed.
Incorrect.
