- 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.
Truth is not arrogant. If I were shopping for a religion to suit my needs, I would not be Christian. I would be a religion that focuses more on the self. I am a Christian, because I believe Jesus spoke truth and was Truth.
Exactly! Finally someone who realizes this.
King of Kings and Lord of Lords
I would choose Buddhism as a religion, because it is all about the self. But I am a Christian, because it is true.
SuperCal your needs are sins forgiven, hence you would choose Christianity anyway
Majority believe in Christianity. God formed everything, sin deformed us, Jesus can transform us for heaven.
@@koklol2837 many Christians do king of kings they may stumble or fall because we're free all human beings in our sin but most Christians are even some non-christians who don't realize they have Grace still stumble or try every day to live as Christ would want them to and not be so arrogant.
I got saved because a Christian, who kept telling me for three years in college that I need Jesus , … over and over and over every time I met them he was in the same dorm as me finally after a three year struggle with alcohol drugs the lifestyle I said OK…. Can I be alone for a second and he left the room.. I leaned up against the wall and said Jesus, if you’re real, you have to prove yourself to me then I call that guy back in and we went through a basic sinners prayer and I receive Christ and was cleansed of My life sin and I was changed Instantly. I don’t think some people are as desperate. The intellectuals always struggle with this free gift. I was 28. I am now 60 and The Miracles will never stop until I am in front of him and he’ll show me eternity. He gave me the most beautiful wife, a man could ever have and a life that is blessed. Thank you for doing what you do sir.
I really enjoy how you can breakdown questions and how you explain the answer it's gives me hope in understanding how Christ our Savior can save us all.. as a sinner I try to better myself in having faith in God through Jesus Christ our savior I feel goodness in my heart in his truth you so blessed what you preach blessings to you ...
Atheists do not believe that aliens & ufos excist!!
The same thing happened to me. I was a non believer and was having some major family crisis on top of all the suffering in the news and youtube videos I had been watching that day. I was not even thinking about God but I cried out Jesus Christ come into my life and end the suffering. I had said those words before at church as a child, but I did not mean them then. This time I meant it in the depths of my heart. Jesus or the Holy spirit one of the two showed up in that moment. I had a feeling come over me like nothing I can describe except pure radiating love that engulfed my whole body. I felt like I was floating off the ground. All my worries all my panic and fear just left me. I was in total peace and calm. I had never felt anything like that in my life. I did not fully come to god after that experience either. He continued for months to knock at my door with all kinds of amazing and strange seeming coincidences and chance encounters with people. All of these experiences leading me to one place... to Jesus Christ and to accept him as my lord and savior. He is undeniable to me now and before I was so far from being a true believer.
Me and my family are Khistan, my name is Abdur Rashid. I came from Bangladesh to Dubai to preach the good news of God's kingdom, God is asking me to preach His good news to the Muslim nation. Pray that the Lord will provide all that is needed to work for the Lord. May I do the work of the Lord's kingdom.
May God bless you and your family, may he use you as a beacon for truth, grace, and love
Praying for safety and peace over your heart brother God willing you will spread his good news far and wide. Deus est altissimus
What's Khistan
@@coryburns9161I suppose he meant Christian.
All glory to God, may God guide you as you preach the words to others🙏
Being a Christian is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. It’s not a choice it’s a calling. If it were up to me I’d continue worshipping myself.
Ah but Id argue its both a choice and a calling. Only we can decided to accept the gift of salvation. That's what free will is all about.
❤ Amen, it's complex to me though. It's simultaneously the hardest and easiest once it's started. The more I question my faith and the Word, and study and seek answers even with science and history etc, my faith is validated and made stronger. ❤ Look into how Jesus tells us to pray. I have a prayer closet though I haven't used it enough, usually I do end up praying in the moment or before bed at my bed. But either way pray thanks in all things, and pray for guidance, in His Word etc.
I prayed simply for a hunger for His Word a while back, and for a week I was INTO Genesis. Was reading the 50 chapters, about 15-20 at a time (admittedly skimming the genealogy), and I couldn't get enough. Until at one point I felt even the holy spirit was telling me to not neglect the other purposes around me, for my family etc. But if you pray and it is God's will, it'll happen. That's a Biblical promise.
Blessings. שלום✨🦁💙
@@ari3lz3pp I agree with you. The most of my time spent in prayer is intercessory (for others). God has us all uniquely positioned to do his will in and around those around us, including our families. Great book on prayer is called “Praying with Paul” by DA Carson. I have been blessed and affirmed by its biblical truth.
Offcourse its up to U. That is the beauty of Christianity and d God of the Christians ✝️. He gave us FREEWILL, even to choose between good or Evil 😈
Hallelujah that God is our strength! 2nd Corinthians 12! Roman’s 8:28 ❤️
We've raised opinion to the level of truth. We've put feelings above fact. This is an amazing video
It may seem illogical to punish someone that hard but we are not the creator so we cannot understand true logic therefore you just have to trust In God.
@@matt-oq7kb I believe God doesn’t torment for eternity but destroys them and they will be destroyed for eternity
@@matt-oq7kb and I’m not just saying that, there is contradictions with the other version of hell and God is a just God he wouldn’t let evil live for eternity and how is it a second death if they live for eternity? It doesn’t make sense that hell is eternity
When people ask me how there can be a Hell “if God REALLY loves us,” I just flip it back to them. If God REALLY loves us, how can there NOT be a Hell?!
We human beings do some absolutely hideous things to one another every single day! There’s rape, murder, torture, child abuse, spousal abuse, racism, sexism, greed, child molestation, robbery, genocide, hatred, slavery, murdering babies in droves for LITERALLY no other reason than convenience, and so much more. And a lot of them even get away with it! So could God REALLY love us if He allows those things to happen without punishing the people who commit those horrible crimes against us?
This girl’s problem is NOT the existence and reality of Hell; her problem is that she just doesn’t want God. These people complain about God NOT punishing evil then the very same people turn right around and complain about Him punishing evil. It’s absolutely nonsensical and would be laughable if the stakes weren’t so high. I’m so heartbroken for them that there’s no combination of words to adequately articulate the degree to which I stand devastated for them… because it’s not going to be real for them until they’re on the other side of that door … when and where it’s too late.
@@blacksuburban2410 Ironically all those hideous crimes you listed were advocated by God in the bible.
I am an Arab and the Lord saved my life in 1994 . Your knowledge in the scripture and your way of delivering it and communicating it to other and the persuasion you do in answering questions by students at college campuses you reminds me of Paul the apostle in acts 17
God bless you and your ministry
I share your videos to so many people . Please keep doing what you are doing
Concerning his false teaching about the Trinity. Ask him how only God the Father knows the day or hour but omniscient God the Holy Spirit doesn't know. That's confusing and impossible false doctrine. He says contradictorily, OMNISCIENT GOD THE SON, can be omniscient and non omniscient, Jesus can't be part time God and not God. I feel sorry for you brother.😂🎉❤😮
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@robertvann7349
Hi Robert
I saw your reply to my comment, and thank you for taking the time to reply that shows me that you are interested enough to write about the doctrine of the trinity.
If I may share with you briefly as I can about the person of God that reveals Himself to us by what He created and also in His inspired words
We know God is one through all the scripture but we find reading trough the scripture a data collection of many claims
Of Jesus one of the Father and of the Holy Spirit that are Devine !
We find also claims of Jesus in the scripture that He is in the Father and He and the Father are one !
If we take this claim alone it will make Him either crazy blasphemer or He is who He says He is . Because no prophet can claim that unless they are false prophet or any Human being claim that they will be laughed at or maybe stoned back then or even now in certain Arab countries.
Jesus claimed that He is the Son of God and the son of men witch mean The exact who God is and at the same time the exact who human is .
So when He claim all : I don’t know the hour - my God and your God - the Father is Greater than me - there is no one good except God - when he eat and drink - when he was put on the cross as died and rosed from the dead ….. all was expected from the God who became flesh or human otherwise he will not be a son of men .
You are not alone when it come to knowing the nature of God and who He is .
You must come to Him and not. under-stand ( putting Him to a level in comparison-or other way to get Him in your mind) God is above our little mind that He create
We Know that God has no physical body and He is not an energy also He is not a mystical creature - certainly He is not an it . He is not an imaginary being to likened Him to but as Jesus revealed Him in the scripture God is a Spirit ( no physical) but He is a personal God and No one can come to Him except through the Son . No one can know Him unless The Son reveals to .
You might have difficulty understanding the data collection of the claims of Jesus
( so many verses ) but we shouldn’t make a mistake to create a unitary God in our mind by saying Jesus is the Father and the Father is the Holy Spirit and ..
I don’t want to bring philosophical arguments to defend the claims of Jesus
Although there are so many facts we accept about a triune being in one .
@@robertvann7349 Maybe, for a temporary period on earth (particularly with His first coming), His role has been diminished to that of a servant following His Father's will. The Scriptures indicate that once He fulfills the Father's will, all forms of authority will be handed over to Yeshua (Jesus) at His second coming. Have you considered the statement made by Jesus Himself in John 8:58, "Amen, amen I tell you, before Abraham was, I am!"? I am offering you some thoughts for feedback. Peace.
“I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life ..no one comes to the Father but through Me”. Exclusive ..period
Amen 🙏
For too many people it is a matter of....
The judge gives a deal for paying for your crime, you can pay yourself or someone else pays for it. The one who will pay for it is Jesus of Nazareth.
People say " I want somebody else to pay"
The judge says " no, no, there is only one option. Only one who is qualified to pay, and only one that is going to go through with it."
People say " there just has to be another, someone OTHER than that Jesus guy,
I don't want HIM"
The judge says " I guess you'll have to do it yourself "
Only one way.
No one seems have a problem with the fact there is one ONE WAY into Disneyland. Yet I don’t hear anyone complaining that they're exclusive. They allow everyone in BUT, they have to enter through the ONE entrance.
No one deserves an eternity of torment and no one will suffer an eternity of torment. The wage of sin is death (not an eternity of torment) but the gift of God is eternal life.
That thin ice thick ice analogy was fire.
For real
Yes it was , but she was allowed to put her spin on it. She's good on the spin zone. Simple words are much stronger than complex words when defending scripture, it leaves no room for errors.
Notice how she then said that BOTH COULD RIGHT ABOUT EACH ONE'S ICE AFTER HE SAID IT WAS EITHER TRUE OR NOT??? Don't let the lies creep into the discussion as he allowed her to redefine it.

Lol. Irony.
This guy is so great,so smart,the way he speaks,I can listen to him for hours,I don’t know if he ever is gonna read this but him is one of the reasons that I became a Christian because I was so lost I wanted to believe in Christ but I didn’t know were to start and I started through him,thank you 🙏🏻❤️
“I think you be a fool to put your faith in me, I think you’ll be very wise to put your faith in Christ.”(4:22), That was good! 🔥💯
Is amazing how their more focus on the condemnation at the END than the FORGIVENESS true Jesus our SAVIOR
Preach it just magnifies the sin in our lives as humans and the desperate need of the savior
It all boils down to God will not force you to love Him
Yet God will free you from hating Him. You see, hatred of God is a bondage of pride. God will humble down all pride eventually and hatred of God will disappear.
The Bible, God's Word, does not teach hell is a fiery, everlasting tormenting place. It was and is misinterpreted and mistranslated and wrongly put in perspective by false religion. Hell by first century Christians never taught a fiery, tormenting place. Hell meant, and is, a person's death, the grave. False "Christians" mistranslate Revelation and other Biblical books. They pushed hell as a fiery place after True Christianity began to wane and fulfill Scripture back into the second century AD, just to scare and frighten those who didn't have access to God's God so that the men of cloth could keep authority and power over them. There is no hell as Catholics and other religions teach. Catholicity and other religions will fall, government will soon disown them and it will fulfill prophesy that "Babylon The Great has fallen." Jehovah God IS a loving God, therefore He did Not create a "hell," and His Word does not condone it.
@@markuse3472 do you not read the Bible?
@@markuse3472 you are going to be very upset on the last day. As the father says to those on his right come you who are blessed of the father and take your inheritance, and he will say to those on the left depart from me you who are

@@markuse3472 daniel 12:2
And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. This is Old Testament. You need to realize that you are dealing with a wrathful god who will
Not tolerate sin. This is the same one who says to fear not the one that can kill the flesh but to fear god who can not only kill the flesh but also cast your soul into everlasting flames. Yes it might not be actual fire since when a man dies the soul has to go somewhere it does not just evaporate.
Look at how nervous she got after she realized how rational and intellectual Cliffe is regarding objective truth. Well done Cliffe.

What lots of people (even pastors) don't (yet) understand.
For the fall of man a perfect atoning sacrifice had to be made.... that is what God did in Christ.
He paid the debt for the fall of man for us to be indwelled by His Spirit again and finally receive the divine life of the ages back, the first Adam let got of in the fall of man.
That is what you see happening in Christ's first disciples. They too healed all.
And yes.... that is still avaible today. The holy blood is in place, the Holy Spirit is here to give us understanding and transform us back to origin.
Not to be debated about, but to be embraced and be-come.
So: The Kingdom of God already came. Through Christ, in Spiritform, in those that understand.
Hence the divine healing miracles we experience.
God manifested in Christ to give us back the divine life mankind lost in the fall of Adam.
Christ, the exact image of the invisible God.
The image we were created after in Gen 1.
The image we lost in the fall of man.
The image that can be freely restored by Christ's blood and Holy Spirit working IN us.
What a plan. What a solution. What a love. What a God. Jesus is amazing.
It is the ultimate conclusion of the word and plan of God. God came full circle.
He Himself stooped down from glory to restore us back to original created value: Christlikeness. Walking in divine healing power and unselfish love.
Jesus, born of the Spirit of God, filled with the spirit of God. The "Son" of God, the incarnated word, God in the flesh.
For three years He healed all, raised the dead, casted out demons, controlled nature, spoke pure divine truth.
He said:
"Follow Me. If you see Me, you see the Father. The Father and I are one. The glory I have IN My Father, I give to you. It pleases the Father to give you His Kingdom/Holy Spirit/divine nature. I will send Holy Spirit, the same as Me, He will be IN you, guide you into truth and give you explosive power. The same miracles i do, you will do too, because you will understand that the Father is IN Me and I am IN you. Freely I give you My Kingdom/Holy Spirit/divine nature, heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, freely I give, freely share" Etc, etc, etc.
I have experienced thousands of beautifull healing miracles through the power of Holy Spirit IN me already. Broken bones, cancers, covid, all kinds of infirmities healed in seconds. Demons manifesting and casted out by a simple "get out, in Jesus name".
Jesus. De name above all names. In Him all power and wisdom is sourced and.... He calls us one with Him. God in man and man in God again. C'mon Jesus!!
So.... again: God stooped down IN Christ to restore us back to Gen 1:27 were He said: "Let us make man according to our image and likeness and let them have authority.....": walk as Christ.
Christ, the exact image of the invisible God. The image we were created after and being restored to by His atoning blood for the fall of man and indwelling Holy Spirit.
You are free to receive this original divine life of the ages by Holy Spirit of Christ/God. Ask Him to guide you into truth. Read the Gospel of John and fall in love with your creator.
You are not made for the fall of man and its effects, but for the image/glory of God and to walk like Christ. Holy Spirit is the guide and transforming power that will get you there. Amazing grace.
A big leap in faith can be made when we start realizing we are already IN Christ, IN the last Adam.
Free from the fall! Loved! Growing into awareness of our new (yet old) godly identity. Changing by Holy Spirit. The most fullfilled life ever.
Paul healed all on Malta. He understood and wrote:
"As in the first Adam ALL died (lost the divine nature), so also ALL were made alive IN Christ to walk in Zoë (= divine life) again".
"IN Christ (the last Adam) we are co-cruisified (dead to the fall and its effects), co-raised (justified/made righteousness, holy, blameless, above reproach), co-seated (one with Him)"
"The fullness of deity dwells in Christ and YOU HAVE BEEN MADE COMPLETE IN HIM, who is the head of every principality and power".
So.... thank you Jesus! Thank you for redeeming me from the fall of man. Thank you for your Holy Spirit that makes this new (yet old) divine life come alive in me. You are amazing!
In the shadow of Peter the sick healed... He understood too and wrote:
"By Gods power (Holy Spirit) and knowing Christ, we have become partakers of the divine nature and have escaped the fall of man".
The divine life of the ages has been returned to us by Jesus once and for all perfect atoning sacrifice for the debt of the fall of man and His indwelling Holy Spirit in us. Jesus/God is amazing!!!
Ask Him to give you revelation and change you to the way it was before the fall of man: Christlikeness.
He will do so. For it is written: "the Spirit brings forth after His own kind".
"I have come to give you Zoë (divine life) in abundance...."
He's not that smart.

This is well documented and the "men" in long dresses like to keep it under control. $$$$$$$$$$$.
Paid your 10% lately?
Man has been manufacturing Religions before Adam was a cowboy, your scriptures are good examples of manipulation of people for others advantage.
She doesn’t believe it is very loving that God would send someone to hell. Hear it this way:
I have a 7 year old son and I love him so so so much. He’s the best gift I’ve ever received! I also have this friend that I love dearly and my friend has a heart condition that if they don’t receive a new heart, they’ll die. My friend searches and searches and searches for a heart but none will suffice. Then, one day, my friend is told that they found a match and that the only match is my son’s heart. My son out of love tells me “it’s ok dad, I want to do this.” I oblige and out of love I allow it for the sake of my friend’s life, knowing that my son is willing to go through with it.
So they wheel my son and my friend into the operating room and I watch my son get sedated, they cut him open, they remove his heart but I can’t bare to watch it because it hurts so bad, I have to turn away.
Then they take my son’s heart to my friend and my friend looks at the doctors and says “no, I don’t want it.”
How loving is that?
God gave His son to save your life and Jesus willingly died so that you may have life! All you have to do is accept that life. But so many people spit in Jesus’ face and tell him “no, I don’t want your sacrifice.” That is tragic.
without sedatives
I get the analogy but too many Christians use words and phrases that’s unfamiliar ppl will look over and not fully understand. Christians need to do a better job at explaining 1. Why Jesus is a different type of “son” if we are all Gods children and 2. What the concept of accepting Jesus into your life and “accepting eternity” means so that ppl can understand the importance of these concepts. It’s like telling a 2 year old who’s holding their breath “you need oxygen to live” instead of just saying “if you breath in and breath out you will feel better etc.” then explaining the concept of breathing and oxygen and all that
Oh wow Ricky…that was killer
Good analogy.
Wow.. He waited until after the doctors took the sons heart, to say he didn't want it 😑
She asked GREAT questions, smart, cute, intelligent, well spoken, articulate and definitely curious/trying to figure some things out! God bless her soul & may she come into the Body of Jesus Christ AMEN!
you've said it bro.
Her question is why doesn’t Jesus forgives others who follow other faith for not believing in Him simply because she heard that He’s a loving God? That’s a conflicting question it does not makes sense at all when cliff explained that Jesus is the only way in order to go to the Father God and if you don’t believe in Him than you will suffer the consequences that’s very clear yet she still asking that question over and over again not trying to put her down but Cliff answered it precisely 🙏🏿
@ullisim2008 idk why ppl don't understand her question. She's basically saying how is it fair for a loving God to send someone to hell because they genuinely have a different belief? At that point its a matter of luck, not choosing. Cliffe just played dumb or chose to be close-minded.
@@joshuabarnes7552The person pursues a different religion because they avoid looking into the evidence for the one Religion everybody knows, since GOD Made it so popular through His preachers.
Their belief in the false religion might be genuine but that doesn't change their unwillingness to accept abundant evidence for the one that's in front of everybody's eyes.
This person does not Know GOD, and they don't want an eternity to spend Glad With Him because they don't Know Him. He Makes that possible for them after death.
But as with all things human judgement, it's not Good.
(Not only that, but the universe and morality are far too orderly for gods in plural to make.)
@MercyofGOD1270 If human's judgment isn't good, then how can God blame them? God gave us minds to analyze and think critically, so he's responsible for us having bad judgment. Besides, there isn't evidence that Jesus is God, only that he existed. You can't claim the evidence is "in front everyone's eyes" if it's not sufficient. You can't say you need faith and then say ppl just have bad judgement. Don't you see the problem with your logic and how that's unfair? Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's true.
all this free education is awesome! thanks!
It is ,and entertaining.
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM!
Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings!
Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21
Jesus said the Father is the only true God!
John 17
3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
I usually listen to his conversations with people as I close my eyes. Fell asleep listening to this and God showed me the world as I sleep listening to it. I was on some soft of jet ski type boat and my dad and my boss was being used for the person talking. While the preach is going on, my dad took me to the waters and showed me how beautiful everything is. Bird went on my hand. The warm weather. Beautiful sky. The ocean so blue. It’s so addicting. God. I love you with every fiber and every strength I can muster.
God loves us so much that He will not force us to believe in Him. He gave us the option of salvation or damnation. I’ve been struggling with sin lately and prayers would be much appreciated!
How have you been holding up? I personally have been struggling with sin as well. Willingly doing it knowing I shouldn't. Everytime God was giving me a way but but I liked the sin too much. It wasn't until I resisted and truly called on him when I wanted to sin that I felt his power. What's crazy is that after actually calling on him, i Didnt even have to resist, the want just wasn't there. Hallelujah. All glory to God.
God loves me so much that He forced me to believe in Him. I thank God for it.
Prayers for you. So beautiful that you ask for help. It will get easier. Stay focused on Him and not your circumstances. He gives us strenth! ❤
Prayers dude. The Lord is the only solid ground
I'm hooked on askcliffe videos.
Me too😊
May Jesus Christ have mercy on my soul for I am a sinner.
Thank you for this global thought.
My faith is strengthened, thank you pastor Cliff
God bless you all!!!! Preach and preach please!!!! We need it!!!!
I love that girl. Looking for God’s rational and feelings.
I say we 🙏🏼 for God to speak to her and draw her near. ❤️
She might be a Christian by now…
I say fuck god and his hell and he should go there himself, fucking tyrant that he is.
I have the same question as her. But very disappointed in not getting the answer I want.
@@hbpu2156 The answer didn't go to the root of her question but rather gave the answer to what Jesus' Truth claim was. Her question "Why would a loving God condemn people who have other convictions to hell" can be answered by Bill Weise's analogy and I'll paraphrase it (God gave us instructions to His House, Jesus said He was the Way to His Father's House; but if we live all our lives choosing to follow another path how audacious it is for us to come to the end of our lives and demand to live in the house of someone we completely ignored even after He gave us clear instructions, offered to walk with us and empower us all along the way. Hell isn't God's intent for humanity, it is the end result of rejecting the Instructions He's given.
To add, he also gave another analogy "Say you're in a burning building, and I tell you "Hey! Quickly this way is the way out!" But you refuse to follow my Truth claim. I'm not arrogant because I show you the only way out of the burning building but rather that would be an expression of my love for you. This is what Jesus represents, the Way out of internal torment and disconnect from Truth; the Only One who can heal that internal rift between Man and God.
So much patience on this man I am amazed.
The fruit of the spirit. God does that.
I think she was looking for something more than just a math analogy though and he seemed irritated instead of happily explaining and giving the answer...idk it just seemed like a negative video I was let down kinda although I do agree with his response but as someone new and learning I was just left with bad vibes
Patience has zero to do with whether or not a proposition is true, just look at almost any guru.
Yes, it is hard for Cliffe and other Orthodox Christians to deal with insulting arrogant people who mock God the majority of the time, there are few of them are honestly asking questions from a place of curiosity or real questioning of belief systems. This girl seems very hostile to me, I dont know how honest she is being with herself AND Cliffe: ..."And YOU THINK it's honest, and you think it's loving to condemn people to hell?" Her problem is that God punishes behavior that she believes is acceptable.
Cliffe is awesome. Such an intellegent man when it comes to scripture. God bless you Cliffe.
Just because we are fallen does not mean we should be forgiven of sin. We all understand when a murderer goes in front of a judge he can't use the excuse "sorry judge I was born a sinner so who are you to judge me." Yet when it comes to our own sins we like to think that we're perfect and our sins don't really matter but we are more like the serial killer because we sin everyday. I deserve hell, I am a sinner, but through the grace of god I am forgiven and I thank him everyday for that!
Thank you Heavenly Father!
Does anyone else see it? That she is so valuable here? We get to hear the conversation because both of them are in it. I know he is right in what he says about Jesus because by God's grace I know Jesus now, too. (I was an atheist for so long until a year ago when something stirred in me.) He would have more trouble saying the truth here if it wasn't for another stepping in to ask the questions she's asking. God bless her--and him--for what is going on here. I know she will find Him--if she hasn't already now--because of the way she approaches this. There is another young person in the Bible that she reminds me of now, and Jesus looked on him lovingly. I hope those who know the truth there recognize how equally valuable her part in this conversation was/is.
-Your belief condemns people with different beliefs to hell
*Do you believe in hell
-No
*Then you have nothing to worry about
If you really believed in hell, wouldnt you warn someone
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM!
Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings!
Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21
Jesus said the Father is the only true God!

3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

Jesus also said He is God...see how you people are so DISHONEST in your approach to telling people you are actually a jehovah's witness??? You HIDE your false religion behind BIBLICAL TRUTH. That's exactly what this girl does. God is love...And then tells you how unloving he is. GOD'S SON IS JESUS....then you go on PRETENDING Jesus is not the SON OF GOD...who said I AM about HIMSELF in John. He was CRUCIFIED for claiming to be God's son...deity. He was convicted and killed for that truth you now deny at the feet of a lying prophet. JESUS is God the Son. JOHN PROVES THIS FACT.
@busterkey l.
They want to be God. They want you to accept their silly FLAWED PSEUDOMORALITY and leave ACTUAL morality. Satan is quite powerful and easily deceives those who are WILLING. Just listen to the the way they all dodge questions...all of them...and try to change the subject when they are cornered.
The Bible, God's Word, does not teach hell is a fiery, everlasting tormenting place. It was and is misinterpreted and mistranslated and wrongly put in perspective by false religion. Hell by first century Christians never taught a fiery, tormenting place. Hell meant, and is, a person's death, the grave. False "Christians" mistranslate Revelation and other Biblical books. They pushed hell as a fiery place after True Christianity began to wane and fulfill Scripture back into the second century AD, just to scare and frighten those who didn't have access to God's God so that the men of cloth could keep authority and power over them. There is no hell as Catholics and other religions teach. Catholicity and other religions will fall, government will soon disown them and it will fulfill prophesy that "Babylon The Great has fallen." Jehovah God IS a loving God, therefore He did Not create a "hell," and His Word does not condone it.

You are incorrect.
The word "πυρός" is FIRE or FIERY used next to HELL in Matthew 5:22. Why are you trying to DECEIVE yourself and others by trying to change the Word!???? No one changed those words after the fact as you have assumed. Jehovah is not the ACTUAL name of God, YVWH!!! Your jehovah's witness teachings are by a FALSE PROPHET who has been EXPOSED by truth. Jesus was crucified for saying "I AM", YVWH!!! Your INDOCTRINATION is taught by a FALSE PROPHET in the same way Joseph Smith and Muhammad formed their "DO-OVER" false religions because they couldn't stomach the ACTUAL WORDS that were ALREADY WRITTEN and VERIFIED!!! Stop trying to DECEIVE by spreading the FALSE TEACHINGS of a DISPROVEN liar who FAILED to show himself as a prophet just as joseph smith and muhammad also FAILED to show any anointing from God, YAHWEH. There is a reason that you ARE FORBIDDEN from so much that God the Son, Yeshua, Jesus, has not forbade. He forgave sins, circumvented physical laws, prophesied, and told everyone in Matthew 5:22 that to say "Μωρέ", fool, to a brother is to make yourself guilty of the hell fire.
You can stop PRETENDING that your false prophet understood or disseminated the word of God. His FAILED PROPHESIES are proof he was a liar. You've been suckered and brainwashed. STUDY THE ORIGINAL TEXTS IN GREEK AND HEBREW instead of being fed false prophesy and information from an apostate leadership. They FORBID what Christ Jesus doesn't forbid because they need CONTROL YOU just like the LDS and islam and branch davidians. All these cults take PART of the original word and then twist and change it to mean what they WANT it to say. No one likes hell...but it is real. JESUS SAID SO DESPITE charles taze russell's (proven liar), attempts to change it. He nor muhammed, nor smith, nor koresh....nor any other false prophet...can undo what was ALREADY done. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!!! You've been played, suckered, hoodwinked, fooled by the words of a proven FALSE prophet!!! EVERYONE KNOWS HIS PROPHECY FAILED AND HE WAS WRONG...not just about the many silly prophecies he lied about...but also his altered "bible".
This man has taught me so much. Cliffe I’m so grateful to you.
I thank God that such men preach the word in these ways. Lord bless this man to continue his walk with You. Amen
a loving God separates righteous from the evil for eternity. Best to be on Gods side and make a decision to be a follower of Christ. Its just the beginning of a process.One can't be sinless in an instant,repentance takes time. Lord lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.Gods grace is sufficient!
what about those (incl myself) that do not see good evidence for god's existence... and just cannot get themself to believe? Nonetheless trying to live a good life (in the humanistic sense)?
if ever meeting god (and finally getting the evidence we need to be convinced), why do we not get a chance to change our minds then?
+P.G. Burgess what evidence would you need to believe?a miracle. Cliffe addresses this ißue in previous videos
P J Scarlet no clue to what might convince me of this specific christian god... i'd assume god might know how to...
whilst i remain unconvinced... do you think it rightious to not give that opportunity?
+P.G. Burgess you oviously don't really acknowledge any logic and rationale that Cliffe debates .
I admire his patience with people. Wish I had that kind of patience.
He listens carefully and gathers his answers also carefully
May God continue to give you great wisdom as you lead people to Him and give glory to Jesus.
thank you Cliffe and thank you Father God for the truth that exposes evil and wrong doing.
I believe that its loving for GOD TO deliver you from the path that takes you to destruction
Thank you for your dedication to the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ 🙏
The crowds getting together to listen to the word of God show His power!!!! 🥺❤️🙏
GOD Bless You and Your family man of GOD AMEN (Wilson Yousaf from Dubai UAE) ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊
Seeing that hook shot never get old Cliffe!
Thank you Jesus Christ 🙏🙏🙏♥️
I truly believe that being successful is how the Pastor explains it.
Cliffe’s sermon at the end of the video is just pure gold.
She is so gorgeous and well spoken ❤ hope she put her faith is in Christ at some point
It's refreshing to hear someone have a discussion like this rather than just preach and expect you to listen, this reminds me a lot of my old youth minister.
My pick is eternity with God! Jesus, I trust in your finished work on the cross!
Cliffe does a brilliant job witnessing to people. He is patient and kind. I would like to believe like John the Baptist, Cliffe points people to the lamb of God. We will never know how many souls were saved due to his delivery of the Gospel.
Cliffe is brilliant
With everything we do we should do it as unto the Lord.
Brilliant answers from the preachers and a good student who is ready to learn. I like her questions.
Thank you for the clear lessons, I enjoy watching.

Truth is both Cruel and Merciful...but never arrogant...
Beautiful is just a moment on time. Salvacion is beautiful forever on Jesus Christ
I was feeling"a failure, unseccessful" because I am 77, and looking for employment. There are no jobs for a 77 year old woman I'm afraid. Then, as I always do, I listen to your teaching on some campus, answering students, trying to bring reasoning to their question s, then you talked in your office, in closing, talking about being a as success defined by Jesus, and I appreciate what you had to say. Being the righteous christian God desires for me is being "successful". Thank you so much, I will let go of not feeling useful, not having meaning for my life, and focus on continuing to walk in righteousness. Being a success in Christ Jesus. Jude
God bless you Jude!
Beliefs are irrelevant to THE TRUTH.
There is but one truth, and it doesn’t change because you do, or don’t subscribe to it.
It simply is.
PRAISE THE LORD HALLELUJAH AMEN AMEN AMEN
I am a Christian, and I have thought about some of the same questions the young woman asked. They are worth thinking about and examining. I think though, when it is carefully examined, Christ comes out as the most correct answer.
The only correct..you mean
Thank you Pastor Cliffe ... for your Ministry❤️
Amen and always know that God is able to do all that you ask and more
GOD is Loving and Just
I absolutely love Cliffe and think he’s super thought provoking. Sometimes, I think he could answer questions a little more directly, without examples/stories/metaphors. Sometimes it feels like people are disappointed by not getting a straight answer, which is sometimes (not always) appropriate. And it’s clear that the person doesn’t feel like their question is actually being answered.
Jesus came to INCLUDE people in heaven, not to exclude them. How is it that so many people get this precisely backwards?
Could you elaborate on what you're meaning is?
Rich Suplita because the media always purposely present God is a negative way
Amen!
Good point. The way I see it, people can live a morally upright life according to their own standards of morality and be happy and sleep well at night etc. But Christ’s claim is that He is the way to eternal life. So if we want eternal life (as opposed to eternal non-life, or separation from the good that we denied while in the physical) then we must directly follow by example the one who rose from the dead to eternal life, as is disclosed through revelation.
Glass half empty folk just don’t get it
nice thoughtful girl, and seems sicere in her quest, and will saved in time..
Thank you for your ministry. It’s powerful and effective
Amazing how God help me find you I just asked..thank you Lord
God is Perfect. To send his only son says it all. At the end of the day If things go wrong he still is God.The truth is he loves us Enough to send Jesus to die.He wants relationship. Believing in him and repentance is the key.I was saved the day I realized how much God loved his son
Praise you father God thank you Jesus. ❤️🔥
I really desire to have this type of knowledge and control. He sits and listens to the question and separates all emotion and presuppositions. He repeats back what is said and then he answers
So if you desire them, then God might put you in a situation where you can choose to keep dive in the Bible or play video games(just a example) and if you want control he might put someone around you that makes you want to rip their head off. We are raised through the fire. We have to fight. If youre lazy, you have to fight laziness, if you lust, you have to fight lust. It's literally war, that's why we need the Armor of God and the Holy Spirit. Then we follow Jesus' example. I struggle with smoking porn, somehow even tho I have to jobs I seem to have a lot of time to do both. I'm fighting it though, there are certain verses you can memorize to help you through fighting those principalities in heavenly places. The more you say it, the more power it has. The more you DO it, the easier it gets. God Bless you, even typing this is convicting me more and more to fight through my issues.
cliffe is so cool...all glory to God. blessings brother.
First time here... love your logical, patient, and most of all... Biblical responses
Thank you for the lessons on success in CHRIST in this life, I've been praying that this year be a success over my life and family but I had a doubt of what success really it means I've been praying though about and I'm glad to say that JESUS CHRIST brought me to your channel for this,, keep up the good work in faith through CHRIST JESUS.
PRAISE BE TO YAHWEH FOREVER ❤.

3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
Ravi zacharias point it beautifully. I'm sure if there are 10 ways to get to heaven. people will ask if there is an 11th way to get there and will again question why does the God of mercy would not put that 11th way into it. If there is a thousand ways, people will ask for the thousand and one.
What is important that there is a way. And a way so easy that doesn't require how much you have, how much you know, how good or how bad you are. Just believe. Its free, its easy as closing your eyes. But the trouble with most people is the authority. And people really hate telling them what to do.
Jesus said the way. Love God with all your soul and mind and love others. That is the way.
That's all very well Manuel, but what if your conscience and all your rational senses tell you otherwise and you simply don't believe the whole Jesus story, am I to be punished in someway for being truthful to myself?
bonnie43uk That is fine but reason why you don't believe in the history of Jesus is because what he claimed to be and the miracles he performed. I can understand that because you don't believe in a supernatural entity. If you're skeptical of God then you will not believe in Jesus claims.
Manuel Santo If I saw any credible evidence of supernatural events, or something which defies the known laws of nature, then maybe I could believe in Jesus, although, i should also say, it's not just the miracles that I am very dubious of, but this idea that he came to take away our sins by dying a horrible death on a cross.
I believe we are all responsible for any mistakes we make in life, and it's up to us to ask forgiveness from the people we have wronged in life. Accepting responsibility and owning up to our mistakes makes us better people, we learn from our mistakes.
I also do not believe *anybody* deserves a punishment that has literally no end. That is a disgusting concept when you really sit down and think about it.
bonnie43uk With all the civil laws we have around the world and with capital punishment practiced in various parts of the world why do people still disobey? You really think if God reveal himself people would stop doing evil? I know better than to say yes because I know unlike you that the source of evil is spiritual it's not made up of energy and matter.
God is good because he punishes evil he wouldn't be just if he didn't. If God didn't than despair ultimately wins. Jesus said there will be no more suffering. Sin will lose its sting in the end. It's a promise from God.
Free will! You chose ! Very important to God!
Thank You for the message.
A loving God will not force people who did not want to be with him in this life, to endure his presence in the life to come and eternity.
Have you ever heard the saying " there are no atheist in a foxhole"? When face to face with an eternity of being in his presence or out of it, they will chose to be with him.
I don't think you are getting my point, yes they will choose if they get to the point of knowing who God really is. But on God's side, He does not force anyone.
@@michaelarivony7409 You are correct, no one will be forced, sorry, but some who did not " want to be with him in this life" may chose to be with him in the life to come was my point.
@@wkinne1 but by then it will be too late. If we were all able to change our minds after death, the death of Christ, according to the Christian world view, is pointless.
Whether they express the will to be with God or not, after death, what counts is what you do on earth. And I think that every religion in the world would agree that we will all at least be repaid for what we have done on earth.
@@michaelarivony7409 What do you say for the eternity of a person that lived and died in a remote location, never hearing the name Jesus? What about a child that dies at less than 2 years old? What about all the children aborted before ever seeing the light of a single day? What about someone raised by atheist, they naturally believe what their parents have taught them, yet some are born to God loving parents that teach their children from birth the love of Christ, how is this fair? Is God not fair? Does your loving God condemn them to an eternity in Hell?
Another great video :) keep it up Cliffe!
Blessings from The Faroe Islands🇫🇴
God is a loving God. That's why he does not force us to love him. He wants us to willingly choose to love him.
Hello Cliff, first time lister. Wow I loved listening to the way you spoke about scriptures from the Bible. Very well said!!🙏🏽
The last few minutes were so meaningful to me, thank you
People seem to think humanity deserves something great from God. Sure. We deserve great judgement.
Gosh I love watching cliffe
Rejecting Gods most precious gift to the world is like poking your finger in his eye
In the first one he was trying to explain subjective truth versus objective truth and that can be a very frustrating thing to explain to someone who doesn't understand the difference between the two, his patiences awesome
No he never answered her question. This guys a clown. Every single time he tried to rephrase her question to suit his own narrative
This is a complete emotional response. It's not about truth to this young lady. It's about feelings for her.
Exactly. That perfectly sums up the people of today.
She thinks God isn’t being fair to damn someone to eternal hell, but God is justifying sin. You chose to disobey God and His Commandments. Those rebelling against God do not want God’s best for themselves so they will spend eternity away from God cause they chose to.
I believe in part her feelings are involved in her questioning. Yet, I also believe that she is seeking an understanding on the claim that God will punish others, mainly non-Christians, with eternal hell-suffering because they did not accept Christ and follow his specific teachings.
I am Not God, so I do not know who will end up in Heaven. That is his business not mine. I just know what the Bible says and find it trustworthy. If asked, I would explain to them the truths in Jesus. It is up to each individual to actively or passively choose what path to tread down......there only 2 paths.....making your own path is not an option......as much as you might believe it is, soon you will realize you have fooled yourself.
Furthermore, God will not send the disobedient to hell or heaven but just confirm to them on the Day of Judgement what Path they can Continue on based on the Full Life that will be shown to them in the Book of Life. It will be clear as to the outcome and we will have no doubt on His Just Character.
Many individuals fail to realize the Grandness of God and His Wisdom. They ignorantly paint him as slightly wiser than the most intelligent human. He is not just your average God amongst gods.......He IS God.
My final thought is that we all need to strive to follow Jesus' teachings to the best of our sincere abilities. Instead of worrying who is going to hell and is it fair. That is not our business. We also need to get away from trying to make things right in this world to Help God or Save people. God doesn't need our help to do his will. Plus we don't save people as we can't even save our self. We do need to spread the word of God to others so they have the same opportunity as we have had to know Jesus and his redemptive Love. We must not fall for the inclusivity trap that every believe is ok and just love everyone despite their complacency to keep sinning like its no big deal.
Imagine if you put yourself as Jesus/God and you created all life and had mercy but showed miricales and said only by worshipping me and believing in me who created everything can be in heaven and then your creation says no but in my mind I'm a good person so God can't denie me
I absolutely love your heart for and commitment to all of these college age kids who are looking for the path to truth. I enjoy listening to these because I learned from them myself and it’s just so enriching to see someone take their time and knowledge and use it to help other people that way.
Very nice conversation between these two.
