I just wanted to say, because of Cliffe Knechtle and his son Stuart Knechtle, I was able to journey back to God. I was lost for a while, but God placed Cliffe in my path, I didn't ask for these videos, until they continued to pop up until eventually I started listening. I love everytime he debates as he states when he doesn't know. And not knowing is ok. It's better than painting a facade or a false doctrine. Without getting to lengthy. Just Thank You Cliffe Knechtle!! Thank You Stuart Knechtle!!
You and I both brother. Cliffe and Stuart and all these videos they’ve made completely changed the way I think and I wanna treat people. I’m glad you’re back on the path to God as well!!!
Cliffe you are so right I just wanna say if it wasn’t for Jesus and his love for me I wouldn’t have a great job, nor would I be able to buy this new car I have needed for a long time. God is the only reason why I am able to keep a roof over my head and get what I need…. Ever since I’ve gotten closer to God and listen to you Cliffe my life has become so much more brighter and my heart is 1000 times softer and more caring than I was this time last year. I wanna thank you and please keep doing what you’re doing Cliffe. You’ve definitely inspired me to be better and get closer to Jesus ❤️
I have; for a long time, "struggled with the concept" of "Forgive AND Forget"; and now choose to be a LOT MORE DISCERNING in my choices of "Birds of a Feather"... Forgiving a rattle snake for biting me is rather easy... Biting is WHAT RATTLE SNAKES DO, by DESIGN! ... All the SAME; I have AVOIDED picking up rattle snakes, for very nearly 60× years, now!!! (I'll be turning 66× years old, in a couple of months; if I keep breathing Earth Air that long!)
Why do we need the church? For consistent values...? I get the idea, but I don't think it's the right mindset. The foisting of the church on people that are skeptical is the wrong way of going about it. "Hey, if it works for you, be part of a church. If it doesn't work for you, don't." That's what I look for. I am a teacher that certainly "preaches" to be kind to everyone, but I don't think religion reinforces that the way secular kindness does. I volunteer, teach, donate both money and time to causes and people, and I don't think about God at all in any of it. I just do it because I want to. That's the message that I find missing from the church.
@@wesleyjakesta4095 So good acts aren’t good unless we do them in the name of a deity? Why does a foundation of goodness matter if the received kindness is the same?
That wasn’t what Cliffe was saying about the church, but allow me to lay out some counterpoints to your argument. What happens when you don’t want to be kind anymore? Without the objective standard of God why is someone who wants to be selfish any worse than you who wants to be kind? It’s just their choice after all. Aside from this philosophical point there is also the questions of your real motives: are you sometimes kind because you just want people to like you, or perhaps because it makes you feel good? This isn’t a judgement I have many selfish motives myself I’m simply trying to outline the need for God in our lives, and Jesus Christ offers us the chance to know him.
@@Gorpmeat I do not think you avoid any of those pitfalls any easier with a “foundation of god” than you do without it. I understand it’s comforting to know that those around us believe what we believe. I get that as an underlying motivation for proselytizing, but I have found the church to be exclusionary and often filled with piety without merit. I’m supportive of others believing, but my kind actions alone without any expressed religious affiliations have left others questioning their relationship to religion. The foundation is pretty weak when kindness for the sake of kindness is confounding.
@@blaketrent8548 not in a deity, in a altogether lovely man who shows the truth. The church is a blessed place for friendships and praise. Also people speaking to you from God. The foundation is quite firm, considering who the person of Jesus is. Your kindness is the love and kindness Jesus has.
I had actually went through a divorce at the age of 23. I was with my ex since I was 15 years old and once we gotten married, he became physically and verbally abusive, almost became daily. Even to one point he threatened my life, and I lived in fear daily. I tried to become a christian and live right, got baptized, I would listen to preaching on TV and he would come into the room to blaspheme whatever they preached about. I wasn’t allowed to spend time with family, etc. I would pray that God would change him, I would communicate of how he’s treating me was taking a toll on me, no apology and no change, and then it just clicked; God gave us free will and God would change someone IF they truly want to be changed. I divorced him after almost 4 years of abuse and I was judged very badly by family members. Was told that divorce and remarriage is “a sin until death”. I had turned my back against God, not because I wanted too but because I was made to believe that God would never forgive me for leaving someone who abused me. I started doing things that I never did before, I was very depressed and wasn’t right mentally. It was just a year ago that I surrendered to God and asked him to forgive me, and TRULY mean it. I thank God that he allowed me to run into Cliffe’s videos one day because he changed my whole perspective on God, even though I knew God and grew up in church, I see things differently now. And I truly believe that God forgave me.
Stay in strenght ,being in an abusive situation is difficult ,where it be a partnership ,parents,social circles or even a friend -you waited for a change and moved on ,a better and more suited situation awaits you
I’m sure God loves and that’s why you still alive and a quick proof is you being here right now cuz your husband could’ve killed you but God protected you cuz you’re special And I’m happy that you’re living a good life in God
I love the "coming to speak" idea so much. His talks on the college campuses are practically sermons anyway, but I love this method of presentation. Thank you Ed, and Cliffe as well!
I was straying away from my faith for some years, then I heard a cliffe classic GMAA on a college campus, and I listened to about 300 more of them afterwards 😂 Thank you cliffe

Amazing story Cliffe is helping so many people!
Same! I give glory to God working through Cliffe because he hooked me and reeled me back.
Me too! God bless the people like cliffe that bring those who’ve strayed away right back into the arms of the lord.
@@jaggerflores1468 Amen!

Is this an invitational or does he have his own church now? I kinda preferred his off the cuff stuff on student campuses and out on the streets eeek 😧

What you do isn’t good though, when there is no foundation of goodness.

I haven't any need for a mythological deity.
Until you realize how puni we all are ,and evil.
@@ericscaillet2232 I will not ever acknowledge such irrational, childish nonsense. Sell you wares elsewhere. I'm not buying.
We are already in hell.
God continues to use Cliffe as his microphone and it’s so gracious to see.

The body or temple is temporary. The spirit is eternal
It's God or Nothing
Cliffe has such good hair for 70 years old. Look at those curls and waves!
worship is in 2 forms. The first is prostating yourself on the ground. Before god, the other is always bowing down your spirit to the holy spirit!
