Cliffe Classics #3 - Give Me an Answer

- Recorded - Spring 1998
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.

Cliffe if you ever read these please know that because of your faithfulness and these videos, I now have a seat reserved at the Supper of the Lamb! I really hope to meet you in this life you say thank you for role in that. If not in this life, I’ll see you at the Marriage Supper!
Pastor Cliffe will tell you exactly what I will say to you, if Pastor Cliffe and the videos are the reasons, you have a seat reserved at the Supper of the Lamb then, you're not with Jesus Christ. When you found Jesus Christ, you'll say, "Christ Alone." Jesus Alone is all we need.
@@warriorforgod5949 you know exactly what I meant but way to take a sincere compliment to someone I admire and turn it into something blasphemous! Don’t be a troll please.
@@qnotu You think I am trolling when I spoke the truth that comes from the Lord shows you haven't found Jesus Christ. Those who are true believers knows, we worship God through Jesus Christ and, give all credits to Christ. the problem is a false/s believers like you.
@@warriorforgod5949 WOW! Lol. Now I know you’re trolling. Or maybe it’s late and you didn’t read my comment out loud to yourself? I said Cliffe’s ROLE in that. Is there anyone you’d like to thank in addition to Jesus (who comes first of course) for their positive contributions in your life? Maybe someone that helped open your eyes to the real Christ of the Bible? Cliffe introduced me. And I’m grateful for that. Enough with the negativity buddy, I’m not who you assume I am.
I hope to meet pastor Cliffe also, he make my faith stronger than before. Glory to Jesus Glory to God💕
1998...I sometimes forget how normal people used to be.
These classics are fantastic to listen to.
I feel the same for 1978....and you can be sure 1958 for some,it is all relative,try 1038....
@@ericscaillet2232 1038 was the best, Britain… nvm Britain was still around.
@@dcmurphy5157 thanks for info, didn't know that😉
If someone tried to preach like this today some mentally ill blue haired psycho would just stand there barking at hum
I would love to see a follow up on some of these guys to see if they ended up following jesus or not and how ther life's ended up going
When I was 18 years old, I thought I knew everything. You could argue with me until you were blue in the face, and it didn't matter. But when I joined the military boy did I get a reality check about life and death. I chose Christ over other faiths because of the source documents. Jesus has humbled me more than any human institution. Humility IMO comes with age, life experience, and truth seeking. Thank you Cliffe for sharing your gift (Dialogue) with the next generation.
When I was 18 I knew a lot, but I was still dumb as a rock.
Now that I'm old I'm not afraid to tell people that I may know a lot, but I sure as heck don't know everything.
Cliff is doing way better than I would with these super intellects.
I would have agreed they know it all and given up way back.
what specifically was the reality check you received from your military experience? Could you share a few examples if you care to? Thank you for your time.
His patience is remarkable. ❤
John 29:29 Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed 🙏✝️🕊
I love Pastor Cliffe. He a warrior no doubt. I loved when the kid said he saw Elvis at Burger King and Cliffe hit him with the "Would you be willing to die for that" and the Kid said yes. Pastor Cliffe went straight for the logical rebuttal.. but the crowd interrupted him with a laugh because it was just so absurd then Pastor Cliffe realized how funny it was. 😂 proves he's not here to make you look dumb he just wants you to know love and absolution
The preacher killed it at the end.
Got chills at the end…🙏🏾
riiight?!
The main man!
Amen
Word
I need more of these!!!! Praise God for these videos that help to strengthen and encourage me in the faith
Keep bringing these old stuff we really enjoy it . I wish I could watch them all ! Thanks for what you’re doing cliff , God Bless You.
Young Cliffe was energetic and spry in his prime but that's almost 25 years ago from today. Thanks to The Lord our God for having Christian Apologists like Cliffe and Stuart and others like them for uploading these videos. Brother's Cliffe and Stuart always do good work in their efforts in the furtherance of The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ you're reaching thousands to millions of people who are seeking after The Truth of God's Existence, Word and Character in our reality 🙏❤️👊. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolution of but I am convinced of speciation and adaptation which is micro Evolution because there's no evidence of macro Evolution nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
"The Man, The Main Man" Jesus Christ! ✝ 😊 ❤
Tough crowd. Well done good and faithful servant
I love how he ended that drop tha mic 🎤
Like a boss LoL 🤣
Thank you Cliff for having to courage and wisdom to communicate with the lost youth of today.
Waiting for the weekly "Classics"...seems like Cliffe softened up compared to those days...Classic Cliffe coming with the heat.
I love those old videos, God bless you Cliffe 🙏
Binge watching this channel .. GOD bless
Just like believers in Christ back then lived like Jesus would return in their lifetime, so should we. We should ALL be living that way.
I could watch hours and hours of cliffe, keep them comin!
I absolutely love hearing cliffs comments on those questions and answers them directly and faculty awesome job cliff
I love Cliffe so much. He is a servant of God and God is so proud of him. He will have a heroes welcome when he comes into Heaven.
Thank you. God bless you
The GOAT. 💯
G.O.A.T.s are from Satan.
Crazy seeing you here grandmaster
Idkw but its amazing to see old videos its like bringin memories. Thanks lord for Cliffe life
Yaaaasssss Cliff!....Amen! Amen! The truth is the truth, nothing coming against it ever prosper. That's what sets Christians aside from others.
these old ones are awesome
God bless this ministry! Keep up the good work! 🙏✝️
Thank you for uploading Cliffe Classics
A see all His videos a blessing to those who have ears
Oh Cliffe, I can’t wait to meet your intellect in paradise one day 🎉
I love you cliff, may God bless you. Plz keep bringing these old videos, wish there is translation in english like other old ones too because reading is easier than listening
Still seeing the classic debunking of core of atheism. Keep 'em coming!
AMEN
How can the position to suspend any acknowledgement as to the existence of a god until sufficient credible evidence is introduced be "debunked"? Please explain.
@@tsananeomeno7963 Cliffe gave more than enough Sufficient, credible evidence for God. In fact Cliffe has been doing that for decades. The constant rejection of the evidence for God is at the core of atheism.
@@jrc99us clearly then jrc, the evidence can't be very strong, this video dates back over 2 decades, and the students are still queuing up to take Cliffe's arguments to task. If the evidence was truly strong and undeniable, i would be a Christian now.
@@bonnie43uk or they are deliberately ignoring the evidence like you have done for years. 🤷♂️
How shall they hear without a preacher
Romans 10:14🙏✝️🕊
How could Moses be saved without the blood of a child’s foreskin
?
Exodus 4:24-26:
Wow
@@jasonnoble7302 Did you copy and paste that from some ignorant Atheist website?
Circumcision was a covenant, not a sacrifice that atones for sin.
People are asking the wrong questions because they are reading the passage incorrectly in faulty translations. When the passage is read correctly in the King James Bible, the passage becomes easy to understand.
“Him” in verse 24 refers to Pharaoh’s firstborn son.
In verse 23, God makes it clear that he will slay Pharaoh’s firstborn son if Pharaoh refuses to let go of Israel. Now, in verse 24, the underlined “him,” refers not to Moses but to Pharaoh’s firstborn son.
Verse 24 says that the LORD met Pharaoh’s firstborn son in an inn and determined (“sought”) to kill him. God had the foreknowledge of Pharaoh’s refusal to let Israel go, so God was already prepared to seek the death of the firstborn son.
Zipporah casts the foreskin at Moses’ feet and calls him a “bloody husband” simply because she is disgusted by the bloody procedure of circumcision. Many non-Hebrews who have never seen circumcision might find the procedure utterly strange, inhumane, and disgusting. The term “bloody husband” is merely Zipporah’s criticism of a husband who performs an apparently strange and bloody procedure.
Moses fears for the safety of his son because the son had not yet entered into a covenant relationship with God.
Next time you try to post a bible verse that you believe makes the Bible look dumb..... google what the verse means before posting it. That way people don't have to come back to you with some long post to show that you have no clue what you are posting.
Love it! Excited for footage from NC a few weeks ago🤙🏼
Love it did not want to end🕊✝️❤️
I love you brother Phil keep up the GOOD fight. Thank you for all you do in the name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
Thank you AGAIN!
Cliffe has always been smooth.
Weldone guyz
Thank you for highlighting some important points. Christ Jesus the man i like that it speaks great volumes.
Christ jesus is God not a man.
@@johnnyl5758 There is God the father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit one same God. In Christ Jesus we get to see him as God. God the father said this to Christ Jesus " this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased off". That was when Christ Jesus was being baptized by John the Baptist. God is bigger than man, he created us. Christ Jesus is a man and he is God. Stay blessed brother and thank you may God bless you.
@@Michelle-vp4oz oh im so sorry i misunderstood. Thank you so much and thank you for explaining the trinity, may God bless you too sister.
JESUS CHRIST is 100% man and GOD
Prime Cliffe is more energetic but he's much calmer now after these decades. Hello this is for all you Atheists, unbelievers and skeptics. I'm going to address a few misconceptions and lies about God's Character and His Word. The Bible doesn't support chattel slavery or anything else Immoral. Ok so Atheists and unbelievers say God is either Immoral, incompetent or not responsible so let's see what The Scriptures actually say. God revealed himself and created a nation in a real, historical context. It was a world with a slave-based economy, with city states often at war with each other, with polygamous marriages to ensure the continuation of family lines. The laws of the Old Testament regulate this behaviour. Slaves are to be treated humanely (Exodus 21:11). They are given rights and not seen as mere possessions. Hebrew slaves were able to buy their own freedom. Human trafficking is condemned (Exodus 21:16). In contrast to the law code of Babylon, Old Testament Israel was a light to the nations. The Old Testament law and narratives do not stand alone. Jesus is now the best example of what we read. So the moral teaching of the Bible cannot be summarised by a quote taken out of context from the Old Testament to demonize God and His Word. Slavery was permitted in Old Testament law but it was regulated by God giving the Israelites instructions on how to fairly and humanely treat their slaves (it was like indentured servitude where someone could work for you if they owed debts or needed income not cruel like chattel slavery). God allowed the people of Israel to own slaves since they themselves has already experienced over 400 years of generations of Egyptian slavery and knew how inhumane it was to be beaten, overworked and taxed so God set them apart from other nations and cultures around them by giving them a fair way to treat their slaves since slavery had already existed in the world but it doesn't mean God condoned it just used it for His Will to bring Good And in the light of the whole scriptural teaching, we find the reasons for its ultimate abolition (Ephesians 6:9; Colossians 4:1-3; Philemon 15-16 and Galatians 3:28). The Word of God provided the moral standard against slavery in the Roman Empire and against the slave trade in the New World.
But what of genocide or holy war in the book of Joshua? Several things could be pointed out. The use of warfare in the ancient world did not always mean literal total destruction, even when events are described in such terms. Furthermore, the book of Joshua does not describe a genocide. It is not a race who are being wiped out, as in genocide, but a religious practice which was often appalling and degrading. Those who repent (like Rahab from Jericho or Ruth) are not destroyed but become part of Israel. It is not the racial group that is in view but their "detestable practices".
However, after all is said, we must still acknowledge that God brought judgment on the nations of Canaan. It is not our place as believers isn't to sugar-coat the Bible. For some skeptics, this is enough to make God a moral monster. But the fact is that Jesus continued to affirm that God is a Judge who will bring a future judgment on all peoples and all nations. God’s judgment will be just. The list of Old Testament stories rejected by critics often leads to a similar dismissal of the New Testament teaching of Jesus on the existence of hell.
After all, what was the Flood of Genesis or the conquest of Joshua if not a glimpse of future judgment? Hell does not demonstrate cruelty on God’s part, but it does demonstrate His Holiness and our moral accountability. Perhaps this is the real reason many people rail against the God of the Bible? It is not that they think He is a moral monster, but that they are afraid He is a moral Judge, and that has implications for our behaviour now. God is an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being and we as His creatures have Eternal souls and spirits so the punishment for our sins against Him must therefore also be Eternal but so must the reward for righteousness that's why He sent His Son Jesus to live a perfectly righteous and sinless Life (which none of us could ever possibly expect to do) suffer the humiliating and torturous death of crucifixion to shed His Own Blood willingly so that all who willingly accept His gift of salvation by grace through faith in Him will be saved and given Eternal life because that's what God wants is for us to willingly accept His gift of salvation and choose life. Exodus 21:20-21 literally speaks about capital punishment befalling anyone who mistreats their slaves so yes people are taking Scripture out of context to demonize God who literally promises that slaves who are mistreated under someone else's authority is to be avenged. When we hear the word “slavery” we think of innocent human beings, kept prisoner for life, having no rights under law and so reduced to animals. This is clearly immoral because it is unjust: the slave has done nothing to deserve the treatment.
The situation described as “slavery” in the Bible was nothing like this. It is more accurately described as one of indentured servitude. Many “slaves” were indentured servants, working for a term of years
Some other “slaves” were prisoners. There were no prisons. Prisoners had to work to live like everyone else. Some had life sentences. Some served a term and were released.
People didn't beat their good slaves but treated them well and protected their assets thus.
But no matter how rebellious a slave was, you couldn't just beat them to death. And if you knocked out their tooth or damaged their eye then you had to set them free. (Exodus 21:26). God wasn't using what other nations did because He wanted to set His Chosen People of Israel apart from the cruel, inhumane and unjust systems other cultures had so He gave them a fair way to treat their slaves and servants.
There is a lot of ignorance on this topic which is understandable given the age we live in but it's not the nefarious set up we think of when we think of modern slavery. The question Atheists must ask themselves is how come the Jews aren't being accused of slavery and human trafficking if they're guilty of it in The Bible and why would white slave owners rip out pages from The Old and New Testament Scriptures to justify their owning blacks as slaves if The Bible already justified slavery?
He is quick to answer and explain. Good
As Chong wrote these words of Confucius he wept.
“By admiring others for the way they are constructed, allowing them to be greater than ourselves, we shall in all probability, obtain a popularity for keeping them close to our hearts until we die. They will love us for loving and admiring them. And we will love the love we have for them.”

Cliff in his prime is the best. College campuses have always been the same it seems (indoctrination camps)
Amazing video
Thank you for your patience
It's interesting how these older videos seem to be about a generation apart from what we see today and the questions are a bit more well thought out by the students. This generation does not seem to think as critical.
they seem to be asking the same sort of questions as they do today if you ask me
This video is 🔥🔥🔥🔥.. 🎯👏💪
My favorite is when the lady says that a controlled experiment is a random action
@17:30, Amen. Perspective is key to reading the Bible.
Watched number of Cliff`s videos. They all explain our current situation. I will never allow my kids to go away to university, staying local where I can monitor.
Wow this was a heated one. Such good points
Cliffe rocks!
That was a mic drop moment, jesus is the man💪
The man - the main man ….Amen
Our God is the living God, Alpha and Omega
Can you observe this 'living' god? Yes or no.
@@tsananeomeno7963 Yeah
You know...a dead body has all the building blocks of life..but its still dead. Makes you wonder if these people are still lost.
I honestly love cliffe.
"We're eternal because we feed other things when we die."
Other things. OTHER things. Meaning things that are NOT YOU.
Built different
I can imagine Jesus facing similar, likely even more, screaming outrage from the crowds when He spoke. Sometimes I wonder, did he refute them perfectly to the point of speechlessness or did he ignore some because He knew the fighting dialog would be unfruitful. Some of these conversations devolve into infinite hypotheticals. No unbeliever was ever converted because their hypothetical scenarios were answered to a satisfactory degree.
15:39 “(Satire) oh I see, so before we had the F&$@ng cameras, we don’t have any accurate history” -Cliffe Knechtle ,1998 😅
Have you ever lied, stolen, used God's name in vain, looked wuth lust? if so you need to repent today and Believe in Jesus Christ to save you from Hell and go to heaven instead

this is a great compilation of all Bonnies arguments laid to rest on a campus side walk. Good job Cliff over all these years>
laid to rest?
@@bonnie43uk yes, or put to rest or, shelved completely or, moth balled or, brushed aside without much effort or, disemboweled. You can choose any of these that you like.
@@stinkymolly1 there seems to be lot more atheists coming on this channel now than ever before, I was a lone voice pretty much a decade ago, all of the arguments and questions I've posted and argued over are just as relevant today as they were 10 years ago, and, i predict in another 10 years time, there will be even more non believers on here chatting with you guys.
@@bonnie43uk You and all the other atheist never argue in good faith. Ive debated you and others. Once you are pinned down, you quickly try to change the subject or deflect the argument because your sinful ways wont let you acknowledge the truth that smacks you across your face. Just because you dont recognize it doesnt mean it didnt happen.
@@stinkymolly1 Absolutely I argue in good faith, truth is something that is important to me, if something is true, I want to know about it. Can you give me an example of me changing the subject or deflecting the argument because of my "sinful ways" .. what may be sinful to you stinkmolly is not sinful to other people. As I don't believe in God, I don't believe I can sin against a being that I see no evidence for. I can certainly do wrong to my fellow human being, all of us are guilty of wrongdoings. If I commit a wrongdoing upon another person, I can apologise, that person is free to accept my apology or not, I can learn from my mistakes. Human beings are social creatures, it benefits us as a group to cooperate with one another. Absolutely, i cannot say definitively that God does not exist, neither side can prove conclusively beyond a shadow of doubt that God exists or not, hence why we have these conversations. Clearly I find these conversations a highly stimulating subject, who knows, i may still be here in another 10 years time if I'm still around at 74 🙂
Better watch it Cliff, these young kids are too smart. They have it all figured out.

Look, the grave of Jesus Christ is empty he is risen from the death, "HE IS ALIVE"

"There is no way you can dismiss that", and, "where did that come from")? Lol. "You all know we just didn't all just appear"!

The lady with the rainbow shirt does not realize what she said. Lightning and gases cannot create molecules on their own, or by chance. There has to be an individual behind it all, that starts the process and guides it
What year was this?
'98
23:16-23:50 Cliffe started spitting facts
I just absolutely love watching these. I wish you’ll were able to drop a video every single day. The foolish debates unbelievers comes up with to try to avoid Jesus Christ as Lord is quite amazing. I get a good laugh out of it but I also feel deep sorry for them as well. It’s worthy of note to realize how the Holy Spirit gives us the wisdom and words to discredit the evil one.
"The foolish debates unbelievers comes up with to try to avoid Jesus Christ as Lord is quite amazing."
I see no existing "Jesus Christ" to either approach or avoid. I see people making claims/assertions all the time about this supposed character. It is not at _all_ "foolish" to debate this topic from the side of the non-religious.
"I get a good laugh out of it but I also feel deep sorry for them as well."
"Deep sorry" for what? What what is the source of the "good laugh"?
@13:30, she doesn't understand what happened in that experiment.
👍👍👍
In the spring of 470, Chong the devoted servant and disciple of Confucius recorded the sage’s wise words for posterity.
“ Do not weakened yourselves by looking for too much credit or acclaim. Accept honour as a fortification of thy worth but don’t feast upon it or depend upon it. Be prepared to go without it. But if you should be smiled upon return the smile and give credit to your creator.”
❤❤
dudes smile at 23:48 says it all....
That lady couldn’t even think that scientist sat in the lab and lute certain chemicals together, but I know her problem, she wanted to win and couldn’t think broadly
Faithfully are the old sages words recorded in the autumn of 470 by Chong the servant of Confucius.
“There is a loss that would be priceless if we lost it but vanity will always be with us for all is vanity. But surely you will please the great creator who loves you if you love your fellowman. Desire the best for others as a mother wants her offspring to flourish. I had insufficient wisdom to teach but nevertheless I opened my mouth and taught.”
Prepare to meet thy God Amos 4 12.
Better have some foreskin huh ?
Exodus 4:24-26: “On the way, at a place where they spent the night, the Lord met him and tried to kill him. But Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin, and touched Moses' feet with it, and said, 'Truly you are a bridegroom of blood to me! ' So he let him alone.
To the first lady, preterism answers the question and it was all true.
I see people back then yelled when they didnt have facts also
Why was that guy so angry you wouldn't just let him be right?!
These are the words of Confucius faithfully recorded by Chong for posterity in the spring of the year 470.
“This is what I say to those of you who love the great creator and have lofty aspirations. “
“ Walk now as though you do.
And though you don’t.
You will. “
In the year 2000 chong said
When they put me in jail, that’s when they turned me into an activist. Up until the time I went to jail, I was just a comedian.” ~ Tommy Chong
The Last Dude was totally Roast!
6:32 When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

11:20 Cliffe shows his angry side here when this guy tries talking nonsense 😂
Thank you, Jesus, for showing us the Father! Your Amazing Grace invites us to know You, the Only True God, through a personal relationship, once we place our trust in You. Please help the skeptic believe upon You for Eternal Life, for once they do, they will begin to see and come to know You in such a way that they will never be the same again.
Jesus covered this. Sparrows and lillies vs humans.
Animals must live and we mustn't harm anyone including animals.
What is he, Walt Whitman?
I am so worried in people in the US, they really need prayers.
I though my country people were stupid , now after watching this I am convinced my country people ain't that bad. These people have poor critical thinking and can't keep with logic . Even God Himself would have a hard time. The last part was fantastic Cliffe. Love the classical.
I am not convinced in the existence of any god for I have never encountered _any_ credible evidence, including _any_ sound argument, that suggests such an existence. Therefore, I will suspend any acknowledgement as to the existence of a god _until_ such evidence or argument is introduced.
Do I suffer from poor critical thinking? Am I not rational holding my position of atheism?
@@tsananeomeno7963 I'll answer. You very well could be thinking critically and you very well could be rational.
Rational disbelief in God is not only possible, it's perfectly achievable through critical thinking.
Unfortunately, we don't have the necessary information to judge whether or not your views are rational and are the result of critical thinking. Maybe they are but we just can't know that unless we take your word for it and I think you'll agree that most people are distrusting.
@@tsananeomeno7963 if you are indeed rational for holding to atheism as you have a belief that to have belief requires some level of evidence (leaving aside the question of regress of evidence), can another person also be rational, a rational theist if they believe they do have sufficient grounds for their belief?
@@saintpaulofyoutube4416 Hi there. I am just now seeing your response because of being notified of Peter Berr's. I do not understand why I am receiving notifications from UA-cam only some of the time. It is so damn frustrating. And I know I have not muted you because I still _can_ mute you. If I recall correctly, once you mute someone, the option to do so disappears. I am now wondering if I have to remove old notifications (and this is so tedious) from an certain persons in order to receive new ones from them. I will test that option. Had it not been for receiving notification of Peter's reply, I would have missed yours entirely.
@@saintpaulofyoutube4416 Anyways, to address your answer, I can understand the objection you raised as I stated my question. But let's remove me from the question.
Is it rationally justified (and a sign of critical thinking) for one to suspend acknowleging the truth of a claim (especially a claim of which one is not initially convinced) until such time he or she is introduced to credible evidence substantiating the claim?
This is the most arrogantly ignorant group I've seen so far in his videos, wow... I admire Cliff's incredible patience; astounding
SALVATION IS ONLY IN JESUS CHRIST 🙌 ROMANS 10:9 KJV for SALVATION
It’s students like this that made me doubt my atheism and come back to belief in God later in my life .
You can see that what motivates them is EMOTIONAL BIAS not the pursuit of truth 😂
