I’m only 4 minutes in as of writing this, but if people read the Bible then they would know about the Queen of Sheba and the Ethiopian eunuch and that many of the church fathers were from Africa. Now he says he believes in science. If he studied history he would know the advancements in science were made by Christians. The university and hospitals systems were started by Christians. In the Torah, the rules for cleansing are scientific. The Lord gave these laws and commands for a reason.

Fax the guy who helped Jesus carry the cross was black too. And kush (Ethiopia in ancient days)is even mentioned in the bible. So if the bible is racist at its core; why would it mention these figures and places in a good way?
I liked the video where Cliff was apologizing up and down about mistaking their college for a place where intelligent people could have intelligent discussion and such.
@@michaelszczys8316which one. Cliffe's body language will tell you precisely how he is feeling in terms of the conversation they're having. You can tell when he is irritated/frustrated when he has his arms crossed.
It’s incredible how he goes about conversing with people. He encourages and uplifts everyone he talks to, even if they disagree. He never backs down from a question and when someone asks a hard hitting question, he applauds them. He applauds their honesty and openness. He never comes from a place of moral high ground. This is EXACTLY how we should be evangelizing. This man is truly on fire with the Holy Spirit.
Do this irl and reply to me. I've tried to act like this but people confuse my way of uplifting them with sarcasm. For sure I don't generalize.It's pain to try again and again BUT the few I meet who are open minded and filled with wisdom are worth the many attempted fails.
CHRIST breaks the chains of sin, that includes racism, hate, crime, adultery, unlawfulness and ignorance. It is only by Jesus that we are saved and are redeemed, praise the LORD.
how can a young person possibly be as bold as he is? I’m born again, im 23 and plan on going into seminary, but everyone around me is blind to the truth. Most “Christians” aren’t Christians
I was thinking the same thing. You're obviously the only human on our planet that is not "blind to the truth". Why go to seminary? You already know all truths.
You are blessed with the ability to ask and explain difficult situation and get the thinking process of so many people I want to say thank you im listening
I am a follower of Christ because the evidence points to him being reliable. I did a open minded study of many religions and even atheism for 6 years nearly every single day. Christianity has a foundation like no other. I have lost loved ones because of my decision to be a Christian but I believe I have made a unbiased decision to follow Christ. Searching for God can be a emotional roller coaster, especially if it may disappoint loved ones. It’s worth it in the end. God loves you. Diligently study fairly and build a relationship with the one who gave you life.
12:54 I finally respect the kid for conceding the point Cliffe was making about the belief system, about him going all in on science, and retracting that statement. Most of these college kids are closed minded and reject Cliffe's points because he is triggering some fight or flight response, they don't want their belief system in hedonism challenged, and he does this, and it provokes them. This kid though seems mature enough to actually concede a point. I've argued with many people in my life, and I cam box them in and checkmate them on things, but they only begrudgingly acquiesce. It's then a face saving measure, not a true acknowledgement that truth doesn't allow all opinions equal standing as its representative.
68% of blacks in America are rooted Christian 2023. I was witnessed to by a wonderful woman named Ada ❤ full of love for Jesus. I believed her sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ because she truly lived the life. I can't wait to see her again in Heaven. ☝️😎❤️📖✝️🛐🌊🏊🏼♂️💦🇺🇲 SoCal
I really enjoy these. However, me as a believer, would have asked what makes someone “reliable?” There were so many questions that could’ve been asked, but weren’t. I still enjoy watching Cliff navigate these tough conversations. I really appreciate when the students are engaged and not just emotion filled.
I wish you would put the full unedited conversations up or at least make them available somehow. But I love your work and your evangelism style. God bless you all 💖
I find Cliff so respectful and engaged. As someone who genuinely wants to embrace the gospel. I must credit Cliff and Jeff Durbin's respectful delivery for changing my mindset. Its tough for me to put into words where I am at now in terms of my beliefs. Personally I cant 100% rule out the existence any creator , the science stops short of explaining with 100% certainty the root of the first cause for lack of better terms. I really enjoy listening to him . Religion set aside , these kids can learn how to agree and more importantly disagree with someone without disrespecting the other person.
I realize this is an old post, but two more Christian Apologist/scholars that might be really interesting for you to look at, would be: Sean McDowell and Frank Turek. Sean is a Theologian, professor, speaker, Author, podcaster, and apologist, and Frank is a Theologian, Apologist, Author, and podcaster who runs the organization/podcast "Crossexamined", and Speaks on College campuses across the Nation- he has debated Christopher Hitchens and other well-known Atheists in the past. These two gentleman are just two more Apologists I follow as well as Cliffe and Durbin- just thought Id mention them since I listen to podcasts throughout the day as I work, and I'm always looking for new content myself:) God Bless you❤
Most of Cliffe's videos pass by in 5 minutes even though they are actually around 30 minutes!!! I need longer videos! lol Great work though. Keep em coming! God bless
This preacher did a great job. So many people are thinking they don't have faith. But the fact is there faith has already been placed in something else. Usually science. I don't think he explained quite like that, but still did a great job. God bless 🙌
Hi from Denmark here😊 so i have watched soooo many videoes from Cliff ang Co. And I have to say, that this video are one of the best. I really belive, that the guy after this meeting, was going home and thinking about our Lord and Savior and probely still does. Thats whats its all about. Make people more aware about the techings of our Lord and Savior Jesus. Thats how more will come to Christ ❤ May Jesus love and strengs, help you guys spred the Word and teachings. Love NP
The problem with basing your life on yourself is you see many today who live for themselves and don't care about anyone else when they do what they want no matter who they hurt.
I really enjoy how Pastor Cliff just challenges the students to question what they believe. This “education” is far more important than the college degree they’re pursuing. May these idea exchanges come back to their minds/hearts as they grow older. 🙏🏾
I really enjoyed this episode Cliffe! You really helped him, I believe. Thank you! I'm always learning from you guys so I can help others in my life someday
John 9:2-5 ESV [2] And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” [3] Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. [4] We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. [5] As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

*Cliffe, I said it before when you posted a clip from this video back on 02/26/2022, and I'll say it again...* I love what you do, and I agree with 99% of what I hear you say...however I must respectfully disagree with your response to the gentleman at the *21:39* (21 minutes and 39 seconds) mark in this video, wherein you said that Jesus did not perform miracles to get skeptics to believe in Him. Indeed, I agree that He healed people out of love, however I contend that one of His primary motives...if not _the_ primary motive for Him performing miracles ( _resurrecting, healing, feeding, turning water to wine etc._ ) was for presenting *evidence* and *authority* for who He claimed to be. _"Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did."_ *John 2:23* _"And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name"_ *John 20:30-31* _"And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?”_ _"Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them."_ *Matthew 11:2-5*
Yes. Miracles were performed most definitely to shock the people and wake them up that this is no joke, that this is a serious business. Remember what Jesus said about Sodom and Gomorrah, He said that if the miracles performed by Him would be seen in Sodom, they would be still standing, meaning the people would repent. So lack of miracles actually leads to a numb state, to a disbelief and eventually to lawlessness, like it happened in Sodom and Gomorrah and what is happening right now, in our time.
I'm a fan of the upanishads and gospel and Tibetan teachings, and each has their own place. In the end, it's one who chooses what to believe whether it's sensible or not. I believe all human beings seek truth, and truth is wrapped up in different packages, yet truth is unchanging if understood at the deepest level.
I am catholic and living in Ireland 🇮🇪. I love his videos. I am very happy in my Catholicism but I would love sometime to visit his church and listen to him. Would I be welcome as a Catholic to quietly listen sometime. Or would that be seen as inappropriate?.
@@JeezyF Thanks 😊 so much. It may be a while before I go to the states again. But when I do I will try and get to meet him even if its just for a few minutes. I love William Craig too , I have used his arguments for apologetics and of course my our own Bishop Barron. But Cliff has a real man on the street way of communicating that is so honest and deep it's profound. Thank again from Ireland 🇮🇪.
I feel like listening with a smirk on your face or laughing at someone's question because they are curious would not be how Jesus would handle the situation.
@@Generatorman59 i fail to see what that has to do with anything? Are you saying somehow the catholic religion is accountable for the actions of some pedophiles who were priests? You Better call the muslims and hold them all accountable for 911 you clown lmao
@@Generatorman59You say that as though the priests who committed those acts define Catholicism itself. As a protestant, I argue that just because you’re a catholic that doesn’t mean you affirm what those priests did. What you said is the fundamental definition of “jumping to conclusions.”
I agree. But I think the purpose to the whole conversation is to lead him to rethink what he thought right and to help him discover what Christ brings to the table. Not to, “Ha! Checkmate.”, because that’s not the purpose of evangelism.
"why should a bunch of atoms have thinking ability? Why should I, even as I write now, be able to reflect on what I am doing and why should you, even as you read now, be able to ponder my points, agreeing or disagreeing, with pleasure or pain, deciding to refute me or deciding that I am just not worth the effort? No one, certainly not the Darwinian as such, seems to have any answer to this.... The point is that there is no scientific answer". ~ Darwinist philosopher Michael Ruse.
Christianity is a philosophical topic and the Bible isn't a scientific textbook. These two ideas have to be examined in a way that makes sense of philosophy that includes a few scientific principles but that isn't the point of Christianity. The New Testament is a narrative and needs to be examined with that in mind, like, Jesus went here and did this and that, and for the most part, that is what that portion of the scripture is. Thank you, Cliffe, for your ministry and these clips!
Cliffe I genuinely love what you do. I think it’s very important for the kingdom of God. A lot of us Christians are just watching videos like this from the sideline instead of actually going out and engaging with people. I commend you for that. However I’ve noticed in some of your interactions an unwillingness to understand the true intent or meaning of the other person’s questions and statements. Like when the one guy was saying that Christianity in Africa and Asia is a result of western white influence, you kept trying to convince him that there are Christians of all colors and ethnicities all around the world and that Christianity isn’t just for white people. However I think he already accepts that point so continuing to focus on that doesn’t respond to his actual statement, which I felt was more about the origins of Christianity and the time and way in which it entered into different ethnic groups. I just noticed a couple things like that in different videos, where you get mad at the person or misunderstand their position. I understand we’re all human and imperfect. God’s grace abounds. I just thought it was something that I should point out for the effectiveness of your mission and to love better the person you’re engaging with. Much love to you and your family. You inspire me to go out and do the same. Thank you for you faithful work throughout the years.
I believe Pastor Cliff's point is dat Christianity can be spread by anyone, dats y he mentioned his roots. To be honest with u I don't know what d point of saying dat Christianity was spread to parts of Africa by Caucasians is, as though dat means s/thing. Yeshua/Jesus said to his disciples in Mk16:15 to spread d gospel to all d world. Dat command applies to believers of all races. Dats wat d Apostle Paul did, hence y we have d books of Romans, Corintians, Galatians etc
@@sterlingfallsproductions3930 young adults like myself think they are more knowledgeable than older people. Specially college kids. The young man was the one not understanding not cliff hence you gotta learn to put yourself in the situation rather than call someone a jerk
@@sterlingfallsproductions3930 im guessing you also skipped the part when he shook his hand because he finally understood where cliff was coming from. Stop putting your feelings first and listen 👂
Great point to refute the first guy, all regions of the earth were evangelized. The first Christians were Jews and of Semitic heritage not white and they evangelized to Europe, Africa, Asia, etc…
cliff is on point! I just dont like when he answers a question that they bombard him with other questions plus they dont want to except that cliff is right!!🤔🤔
@@curiousgeorge555 well, either you take the supposed word of god as true or not.. as god said that the bible is the absolute and true word of himself ( spoken via the holy ghost through prophets and such), he must be a young earther, right ? OR you don't take the bible as the true word of god , but as it is, an iron age man made book by ppl that were religious fanatics and knew nothing about the nature of things, so they adopted stories from other cultures (flood) and made other stuff up , in the attempt to make sense of things. Where do you stand on this topic, how old is the earth according to you ? and how true is the bible the word of the creator of the universe ?
I have one single comment on this great video, and it’s about the historical reliability of the Quran. As it pertains to being an eye witness account of Mohamed and his teachings, the Quran fails. it is reportedly, by Islamic books such as Hadith; a collection or recited chapters collected at least 150 years after the death of Mohamed. No to mention what happened with Khalife Ousman… So it’s iffy and I would say stand nowhere near the Bible in terms of historical accuracy. But if we consider that the Quran is wrong and that the Quran was recorded in the days of Mohamed as is also says it was( strangely) then we have a Quran confused about it own process of becoming an thus an incredibly unreliable document ! Plus it blatantly denies an historical event known as the death of Christ ! It’s just that the last statement kind of bothered me! 😅
REMEMBER only way to repent and be saved by Christ Acts 11:14-18, Luke 11:9-13, Zeph 3:9/Acts 2:4 and Heb 12:23. Just follow only the original gospel tradition teaching not different churches but Jesus will guide and teach you to the end John 10:1-6,11-16, Acts4:12 and 1 John 2:24-25!
I believe this is why the world today is so confused on what they believe because they are lost on what to or who to believe and can't determine why they don't believe in christ.
The first guy is telling a lie, the first guy should interview Thomas Oden and ask him what he thinks about Christianity in Africa. Christianity was more established in North Africa than it was in Europe. He should probably have more Coptic and Ethiopian Orthodox friends and see what they think on this topic.
Exactly the apologist lacks understanding on adequate history of this. His response about germanic background was also insensitive and irrelevant in tackling it effectively.
16:00 he says , “so you’re not saying Christianity is the bases for all morals”…. That’s not biblical and it’s not a claim of Christianity. It’s not the claim of Christ. Romans says we all know morals, and they are based in the eternal good moral character of God. This is good , and it seems like a move of the Holy Spirit might be happening. Being confronted , in love, by the truth, this young man is presenting on his own , the strong hold ideas holding him from Christ , without the conversation even calling this prompted objection out. Christ never said “Christianity is the bases of all morals”. That doesn’t even sound far sighted enough. Do we see what lies do to people ? It leaves them confused, turned off, numb, and even hostile to Christ and the Gospel.
Ethiopia was the first christian nation and the second place a church was built (catholicism did not exist in the first 300 years of Christianity so it wasn’t spread thru violence). people don’t know church history the entire North Africa was Christian due to the apostles before the Muslims invasion they also had Christian’s nations in west Africa but very small villages
I think we have to consider the possibility that the 2 in the field and the 2 women grinding at the mill is describing the 2 parts to what we are, unless we have become perfect. For instance the believer on the pathway of striving to obtain holiness, but is yet to obtain it, is made up of two parts. Could it be that God makes a decision to seal that person into either righteousness or unrighteousness. And there is no longer a duality happening. Matthew 24:40-42 King James Version 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
hi brother paul, i would like your opinion on what cliffe said in this video; "a Christian is someone that follows Jesus, whether they be catholic, methodist, presbyterian, whatever."
@@ruthadiscipleofjesuschrist1788 I think we can all agree that there are various levels of enlightenment. For instance a Catholic might truly love God but is yet to come into that fuller appreciation of the truth of God, I speak as an ex Catholic, namely the infallibility of holy scripture, but goes to mass sincerely believing that they are pleasing God, are indeed followers of Jesus Christ if their heart is right with God. It comes down to the heart.
@@paulwilfridhunt hey paul, i apologize for the late response, and thank you so much for answering back ive honestly never thought about it in that way-- that a catholic, or any other, might havent yet come to a fuller understanding of the Bible. It could be that they are on a journey seeking truth, the endgame being fully converted to Christianity and their current religion being a metaphorical 'bad stop' thats on the way. yes i could see that "are indeed followers of Jesus Christ if their heart is right with God" see, i dont know about that statement paul. how can someone be saved as a mormon or catholic when both those religions practice unbiblical things and therefore make said individuals unrepentant? and of course! no worries. do you have a discord account so we can chat there? let me know so i can shoot you my username
@@ruthadiscipleofjesuschrist1788 Hello Ruth. Obviously there is much that we don’t know about Salvation. In particular I am referring to who is and who isn’t saved. Clearly its God who decides. But I know my mother is saved and she was a Catholic and so were the reformers like Martin Luther, before they started their own churches. Maybe Martin’s grandmother was a pious person who loved God that was righteous in God’s sight. If so why would God deny her salvation all because the Reformation hadn’t started. The badge, be it Protestant or Catholic, is important, but what is more important is, are we actually chosen by God. Many are called and few are chosen. It’s only in the last few years that God has chosen me and I’ve been born again for 35 years. It took me that long to 100% repent. Oh I had repented alright but not 100%. Actually my mother won me to Christ. But the parable of the wheat and tares explains this very well. Some people cannot be torn out of their religion because it might result in them being rooted out. Matthew 13:30 King James Version 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. It’s wrong to simply conclude that if we are born again we are indeed saved. Because the parable of the sower is talking about some of those who joyfully received the truth however they eventually walked away from it. And those who turn their back on God although they originally had gotten born again, are not saved. Those who are born again are the called. But not all the called are chosen. As I said Ruth it comes down to the heart of the person. If God knows that a person will eventually fully repent if given sufficient time to do so, He will make a decision on this basis. For instance we should all be keeping the 7th day sabbath. But because the bulk of Christendom isn’t doing this, God won’t hold it against them, if their heart is in the right place. On day one, when the Reformation started, many pious Catholics were too blinded by their loyalty to see this new truth. God understands that because he looks at the heart. And He uses the same criteria regarding the keeping of the 7th day sabbath. Because, just as the Reformation was too much for many pious Catholics, so too is the necessity to keep this sabbath commandment, which is too much for many Christians today. However God looks at the heart. Regrettably I don’t have a discord account. I have a plan that allows me to phone the USA and England and Australia. Send me an email to PaulHunt1947@Gmail.Com if you’d like a call. 💒👍😊🍀
Cliffe, do you ever point out logic to people of God's existence or the supernatural by telling them that everything can't come from nothing and that evidence of the Creator is all around us? (Romans 1:20 and Genesis 1:1) I love your style of evangelism and how you ask "What are you living for?"
@@ChrisTheKing172 Thanks for joining the conversation. Now I will ask you the most important question of all time. Where will you spend eternity? Are you going to Heaven or Hell?
@@ChrisTheKing172 Surely Heaven and Hell exists. There is punishment for sin and reward for the righteous. Keep seeking Christ before it's too late. There is nothing more important than your eternal salvation.
@@ChrisTheKing172 I know because God gave me a conscience. God has shown you that He exists through creation. A house has a builder, a painting has a painter, and the earth and all creation has a creator. It's not that hard to understand.
@@ChrisTheKing172 Your conscience tells you what is right and wrong. I have also experienced Jesus personally. He is as real to me as life itself. There is no denying it. I am just 1 witness. You have millions of other Christians to hear from also who understand and testify of the truth (Jesus). Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life." You are an unbeliever and I am deeply concerned for you that if you die in your sins that you would end up in Hell. Revelation 21:8 says "But the fearful, and UNBELIEVING , and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." This conversation could go on for a long time. The root of the problem is not an intellectual one, but a moral one. You do not want to believe that there is a God because that would mean that you would have to be accountable for your sins. Cliffe ended the conversation with the young man at the end of the video with a note similar to this. There is no way to escape death except through putting your trust in Jesus Christ. That is what I am trying to get through to you. If you deny Jesus, then you deny what he has offered to you; The free gift of eternal life because he died on a cross for your sins.
@@ChrisTheKing172 hey Chris! Hope you're doing well. You seem to be channeling Peter Boghossian here. You're putting forth a very narrow view of the concept of knowledge and knowing. While not coming out and saying it, you appear to be suggesting that empiricism is the only (or at least the best) method for knowledge. I just don't think that's true. There are many things that you hold as true that you can't support empirically. I think what many people do is to deny the necessity of a creator BECAUSE they don't want to deal with the very hard question of who that creator is. As you know, it is my contention that the God described in christianity is there best explanation for reality as we know it.. Does that mean I don't think it's possible for me to be wrong? No, of course not. The EXISTENCE of God is axiomatic. The IDENTITY of God is less certain.
REMEBER only way to repent sins and be saved by Christ Acts 11:14-18, Luke 11:9-13, Zeph 3:9/Acts 2:4 and Heb 12:23 Just follow only the original gospel tradition teaching not different churches but Jesus will guide and teach you personally to the end John 10:1-6,11-16, Acts 4:12 and 1 John 2:24-25!

I really enjoy these. However, me as a believer, would have asked what makes someone “reliable?” There were so many questions that could’ve been asked, but weren’t. I still enjoy watching Cliff navigate these tough conversations. I really appreciate when the students are engaged and not just emotion filled.
I wish you would put the full unedited conversations up or at least make them available somehow. But I love your work and your evangelism style. God bless you all 💖
I find Cliff so respectful and engaged. As someone who genuinely wants to embrace the gospel. I must credit Cliff and Jeff Durbin's respectful delivery for changing my mindset. Its tough for me to put into words where I am at now in terms of my beliefs. Personally I cant 100% rule out the existence any creator , the science stops short of explaining with 100% certainty the root of the first cause for lack of better terms. I really enjoy listening to him . Religion set aside , these kids can learn how to agree and more importantly disagree with someone without disrespecting the other person.
I realize this is an old post, but two more Christian Apologist/scholars that might be really interesting for you to look at, would be: Sean McDowell and Frank Turek. Sean is a Theologian, professor, speaker, Author, podcaster, and apologist, and Frank is a Theologian, Apologist, Author, and podcaster who runs the organization/podcast "Crossexamined", and Speaks on College campuses across the Nation- he has debated Christopher Hitchens and other well-known Atheists in the past. These two gentleman are just two more Apologists I follow as well as Cliffe and Durbin- just thought Id mention them since I listen to podcasts throughout the day as I work, and I'm always looking for new content myself:) God Bless you❤
Cliff is the best! God bless your work, sir. We hope to meet you one day!
Thanks Cliffe, for another interesting and informative video. God bless you and your family.
I just love everytime I get a notification from Cliff, God bless you 🙏
Most of Cliffe's videos pass by in 5 minutes even though they are actually around 30 minutes!!! I need longer videos! lol Great work though. Keep em coming! God bless
"Love watching you debate and bring souls to the Lord"! "Thank you so much for keeping the fight"! With ❤ and 🙏's!
I think you're on a much better track by emphasizing this relationship based in science.

This is one powerful conversation and video🙌🏾

This preacher did a great job. So many people are thinking they don't have faith. But the fact is there faith has already been placed in something else. Usually science. I don't think he explained quite like that, but still did a great job. God bless 🙌

Hi from Denmark here😊 so i have watched soooo many videoes from Cliff ang Co. And I have to say, that this video are one of the best. I really belive, that the guy after this meeting, was going home and thinking about our Lord and Savior and probely still does. Thats whats its all about. Make people more aware about the techings of our Lord and Savior Jesus. Thats how more will come to Christ ❤ May Jesus love and strengs, help you guys spred the Word and teachings. Love NP
The problem with basing your life on yourself is you see many today who live for themselves and don't care about anyone else when they do what they want no matter who they hurt.
I really enjoy how Pastor Cliff just challenges the students to question what they believe.
This “education” is far more important than the college degree they’re pursuing. May these idea exchanges come back to their minds/hearts as they grow older. 🙏🏾
Love these. Thank you Cliff for trying to make them think!!
I really enjoyed this episode Cliffe! You really helped him, I believe. Thank you! I'm always learning from you guys so I can help others in my life someday
This dude in the orange shirt is an excellent person. Even I appreciate the way he engages Cliff. Great dude👍🏾
John 9:2-5 ESV
[2] And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” [3] Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. [4] We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. [5] As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

One of the best video. God bless you Cliffe and Thank you.
I really appreciated this one, it's very respectful
THESE ARE SOOOO GOOOOOOD
*Cliffe, I said it before when you posted a clip from this video back on 02/26/2022, and I'll say it again...*
I love what you do, and I agree with 99% of what I hear you say...however I must respectfully disagree with your response to the gentleman at the *21:39* (21 minutes and 39 seconds) mark in this video, wherein you said that Jesus did not perform miracles to get skeptics to believe in Him. Indeed, I agree that He healed people out of love, however I contend that one of His primary motives...if not _the_ primary motive for Him performing miracles ( _resurrecting, healing, feeding, turning water to wine etc._ ) was for presenting *evidence* and *authority* for who He claimed to be.
_"Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did."_
*John 2:23*
_"And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name"_
*John 20:30-31*
_"And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?”_
_"Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them."_
*Matthew 11:2-5*
Yes. Miracles were performed most definitely to shock the people and wake them up that this is no joke, that this is a serious business.
Remember what Jesus said about Sodom and Gomorrah, He said that if the miracles performed by Him would be seen in Sodom, they would be still standing, meaning the people would repent. So lack of miracles actually leads to a numb state, to a disbelief and eventually to lawlessness, like it happened in Sodom and Gomorrah and what is happening right now, in our time.
Thank you for the video. I hope there is a continuation to the young man at the end.
I'm a fan of the upanishads and gospel and Tibetan teachings, and each has their own place. In the end, it's one who chooses what to believe whether it's sensible or not. I believe all human beings seek truth, and truth is wrapped up in different packages, yet truth is unchanging if understood at the deepest level.
Cliff always has the cleanest dad shoes
I am catholic and living in Ireland 🇮🇪.
I love his videos.
I am very happy in my Catholicism but I would love sometime to visit his church and listen to him.
Would I be welcome as a Catholic to quietly listen sometime. Or would that be seen as inappropriate?.
100% you would be welcome. You should talk to him or his son if you go visit, they're incredibly nice people.

As a practicing catholic, does your heart leap for joy after learning that most priests who sexually abused children were not sentenced to prison? 🤔
@@Generatorman59 i fail to see what that has to do with anything? Are you saying somehow the catholic religion is accountable for the actions of some pedophiles who were priests? You Better call the muslims and hold them all accountable for 911 you clown lmao

@@Generatorman59You say that as though the priests who committed those acts define Catholicism itself. As a protestant, I argue that just because you’re a catholic that doesn’t mean you affirm what those priests did. What you said is the fundamental definition of “jumping to conclusions.”
Cliff could've asked: "what scientific theory proves that having good relationships is important?" Of which there are no theories...
I agree. But I think the purpose to the whole conversation is to lead him to rethink what he thought right and to help him discover what Christ brings to the table. Not to, “Ha! Checkmate.”, because that’s not the purpose of evangelism.

"why should a bunch of atoms have thinking ability? Why should I, even as I write now, be able to reflect on what I am doing and why should you, even as you read now, be able to ponder my points, agreeing or disagreeing, with pleasure or pain, deciding to refute me or deciding that I am just not worth the effort? No one, certainly not the Darwinian as such, seems to have any answer to this.... The point is that there is no scientific answer".
~ Darwinist philosopher Michael Ruse.
What a class act that first young man. 👏
Christianity is a philosophical topic and the Bible isn't a scientific textbook. These two ideas have to be examined in a way that makes sense of philosophy that includes a few scientific principles but that isn't the point of Christianity. The New Testament is a narrative and needs to be examined with that in mind, like, Jesus went here and did this and that, and for the most part, that is what that portion of the scripture is. Thank you, Cliffe, for your ministry and these clips!
Cliffe I genuinely love what you do. I think it’s very important for the kingdom of God. A lot of us Christians are just watching videos like this from the sideline instead of actually going out and engaging with people. I commend you for that.
However I’ve noticed in some of your interactions an unwillingness to understand the true intent or meaning of the other person’s questions and statements. Like when the one guy was saying that Christianity in Africa and Asia is a result of western white influence, you kept trying to convince him that there are Christians of all colors and ethnicities all around the world and that Christianity isn’t just for white people. However I think he already accepts that point so continuing to focus on that doesn’t respond to his actual statement, which I felt was more about the origins of Christianity and the time and way in which it entered into different ethnic groups.
I just noticed a couple things like that in different videos, where you get mad at the person or misunderstand their position. I understand we’re all human and imperfect. God’s grace abounds. I just thought it was something that I should point out for the effectiveness of your mission and to love better the person you’re engaging with.
Much love to you and your family. You inspire me to go out and do the same. Thank you for you faithful work throughout the years.
He was pointing out that it was an invalid point that Christian is predominantly "white"
I believe Pastor Cliff's point is dat Christianity can be spread by anyone, dats y he mentioned his roots. To be honest with u I don't know what d point of saying dat Christianity was spread to parts of Africa by Caucasians is, as though dat means s/thing. Yeshua/Jesus said to his disciples in Mk16:15 to spread d gospel to all d world. Dat command applies to believers of all races. Dats wat d Apostle Paul did, hence y we have d books of Romans, Corintians, Galatians etc

Great point to refute the first guy, all regions of the earth were evangelized. The first Christians were Jews and of Semitic heritage not white and they evangelized to Europe, Africa, Asia, etc…
I’m confused why so many people think Christianity is a European religion. Europeans are gentiles 😂 we joined in, not the other way around lol

@@mekavio8231 Is he a young earther? I wouldn't have guessed that.
@@curiousgeorge555 well, either you take the supposed word of god as true or not.. as god said that the bible is the absolute and true word of himself ( spoken via the holy ghost through prophets and such), he must be a young earther, right ?
OR you don't take the bible as the true word of god , but as it is, an iron age man made book by ppl that were religious fanatics and knew nothing about the nature of things, so they adopted stories from other cultures (flood) and made other stuff up , in the attempt to make sense of things.
Where do you stand on this topic, how old is the earth according to you ? and how true is the bible the word of the creator of the universe ?
Cliffe is not a young earther.
@@nikokapanen82 then the bible was wrong ???? and his faith is build on... nothing ???
Great job cliffe
This was a BASED discussion
I have one single comment on this great video, and it’s about the historical reliability of the Quran. As it pertains to being an eye witness account of Mohamed and his teachings, the Quran fails. it is reportedly, by Islamic books such as Hadith; a collection or recited chapters collected at least 150 years after the death of Mohamed. No to mention what happened with Khalife Ousman… So it’s iffy and I would say stand nowhere near the Bible in terms of historical accuracy. But if we consider that the Quran is wrong and that the Quran was recorded in the days of Mohamed as is also says it was( strangely) then we have a Quran confused about it own process of becoming an thus an incredibly unreliable document ! Plus it blatantly denies an historical event known as the death of Christ ! It’s just that the last statement kind of bothered me! 😅
What about the Coptic and Ethiopian Christians who have been there from the start!
I love when Cliffe takes the squat stance and stares intently at the college kids as their opinions fall apart lol too funny
REMEMBER only way to repent and be saved by Christ Acts 11:14-18, Luke 11:9-13, Zeph 3:9/Acts 2:4 and Heb 12:23. Just follow only the original gospel tradition teaching not different churches but Jesus will guide and teach you to the end John 10:1-6,11-16, Acts4:12 and 1 John 2:24-25!
I believe this is why the world today is so confused on what they believe because they are lost on what to or who to believe and can't determine why they don't believe in christ.
I see a teacher teaching on the street.This is a real university.
I think the point Mr. Knechtle tried to make is that we build our life based on our beliefs.
The first guy is telling a lie, the first guy should interview Thomas Oden and ask him what he thinks about Christianity in Africa. Christianity was more established in North Africa than it was in Europe. He should probably have more Coptic and Ethiopian Orthodox friends and see what they think on this topic.
Exactly the apologist lacks understanding on adequate history of this. His response about germanic background was also insensitive and irrelevant in tackling it effectively.
Your wife / mom SHANNON IS THE MOST AMAZING WOMEN I HAVE MET ! she gave me this channels info & im on my 5th video ! god is good
Does he talk at the same college or does he move around state to state?
Good 1 👍👍👍
16:00 he says , “so you’re not saying Christianity is the bases for all morals”….
That’s not biblical and it’s not a claim of Christianity. It’s not the claim of Christ. Romans says we all know morals, and they are based in the eternal good moral character of God.
This is good , and it seems like a move of the Holy Spirit might be happening.
Being confronted , in love, by the truth, this young man is presenting on his own , the strong hold ideas holding him from Christ , without the conversation even calling this prompted objection out.
Christ never said “Christianity is the bases of all morals”.
That doesn’t even sound far sighted enough.
Do we see what lies do to people ? It leaves them confused, turned off, numb, and even hostile to Christ and the Gospel.
lol, Cliff how tall are you? You keep stooping down and you’re still taller than everyone 😂
Great stuff

Ethiopia was the first christian nation and the second place a church was built (catholicism did not exist in the first 300 years of Christianity so it wasn’t spread thru violence). people don’t know church history the entire North Africa was Christian due to the apostles before the Muslims invasion they also had Christian’s nations in west Africa but very small villages
♥️I went so deep into this video 🙏
I think we have to consider the possibility that the 2 in the field and the 2 women grinding at the mill is describing the 2 parts to what we are, unless we have become perfect.
For instance the believer on the pathway of striving to obtain holiness, but is yet to obtain it, is made up of two parts.
Could it be that God makes a decision to seal that person into either righteousness or unrighteousness. And there is no longer a duality happening.
Matthew 24:40-42
King James Version
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
hi brother paul, i would like your opinion on what cliffe said in this video; "a Christian is someone that follows Jesus, whether they be catholic, methodist, presbyterian, whatever."
@@ruthadiscipleofjesuschrist1788 I think we can all agree that there are various levels of enlightenment.
For instance a Catholic might truly love God but is yet to come into that fuller appreciation of the truth of God, I speak as an ex Catholic, namely the infallibility of holy scripture, but goes to mass sincerely believing that they are pleasing God, are indeed followers of Jesus Christ if their heart is right with God. It comes down to the heart.
@@paulwilfridhunt hey paul, i apologize for the late response, and thank you so much for answering back
ive honestly never thought about it in that way-- that a catholic, or any other, might havent yet come to a fuller understanding of the Bible. It could be that they are on a journey seeking truth, the endgame being fully converted to Christianity and their current religion being a metaphorical 'bad stop' thats on the way. yes i could see that
"are indeed followers of Jesus Christ if their heart is right with God"
see, i dont know about that statement paul. how can someone be saved as a mormon or catholic when both those religions practice unbiblical things and therefore make said individuals unrepentant?
and of course! no worries. do you have a discord account so we can chat there? let me know so i can shoot you my username
@@ruthadiscipleofjesuschrist1788 Hello Ruth. Obviously there is much that we don’t know about Salvation. In particular I am referring to who is and who isn’t saved.
Clearly its God who decides. But I know my mother is saved and she was a Catholic and so were the reformers like Martin Luther, before they started their own churches.
Maybe Martin’s grandmother was a pious person who loved God that was righteous in God’s sight. If so why would God deny her salvation all because the Reformation hadn’t started.
The badge, be it Protestant or Catholic, is important, but what is more important is, are we actually chosen by God.
Many are called and few are chosen.
It’s only in the last few years that God has chosen me and I’ve been born again for 35 years. It took me that long to 100% repent. Oh I had repented alright but not 100%.
Actually my mother won me to Christ. But the parable of the wheat and tares explains this very well.
Some people cannot be torn out of their religion because it might result in them being rooted out.
Matthew 13:30
King James Version
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
It’s wrong to simply conclude that if we are born again we are indeed saved. Because the parable of the sower is talking about some of those who joyfully received the truth however they eventually walked away from it. And those who turn their back on God although they originally had gotten born again, are not saved.
Those who are born again are the called. But not all the called are chosen.
As I said Ruth it comes down to the heart of the person. If God knows that a person will eventually fully repent if given sufficient time to do so, He will make a decision on this basis.
For instance we should all be keeping the 7th day sabbath. But because the bulk of Christendom isn’t doing this, God won’t hold it against them, if their heart is in the right place.
On day one, when the Reformation started, many pious Catholics were too blinded by their loyalty to see this new truth.
God understands that because he looks at the heart.
And He uses the same criteria regarding the keeping of the 7th day sabbath. Because, just as the Reformation was too much for many pious Catholics, so too is the necessity to keep this sabbath commandment, which is too much for many Christians today. However God looks at the heart.

Cliffe, do you ever point out logic to people of God's existence or the supernatural by telling them that everything can't come from nothing and that evidence of the Creator is all around us? (Romans 1:20 and Genesis 1:1) I love your style of evangelism and how you ask "What are you living for?"
@@ChrisTheKing172 Thanks for joining the conversation. Now I will ask you the most important question of all time. Where will you spend eternity? Are you going to Heaven or Hell?
@@ChrisTheKing172 Surely Heaven and Hell exists. There is punishment for sin and reward for the righteous. Keep seeking Christ before it's too late. There is nothing more important than your eternal salvation.
@@ChrisTheKing172 I know because God gave me a conscience. God has shown you that He exists through creation. A house has a builder, a painting has a painter, and the earth and all creation has a creator. It's not that hard to understand.
@@ChrisTheKing172 Your conscience tells you what is right and wrong. I have also experienced Jesus personally. He is as real to me as life itself. There is no denying it. I am just 1 witness. You have millions of other Christians to hear from also who understand and testify of the truth (Jesus). Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life."
You are an unbeliever and I am deeply concerned for you that if you die in your sins that you would end up in Hell.
Revelation 21:8 says
"But the fearful, and UNBELIEVING , and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
This conversation could go on for a long time. The root of the problem is not an intellectual one, but a moral one. You do not want to believe that there is a God because that would mean that you would have to be accountable for your sins. Cliffe ended the conversation with the young man at the end of the video with a note similar to this.
There is no way to escape death except through putting your trust in Jesus Christ. That is what I am trying to get through to you. If you deny Jesus, then you deny what he has offered to you; The free gift of eternal life because he died on a cross for your sins.
@@ChrisTheKing172 hey Chris! Hope you're doing well.
You seem to be channeling Peter Boghossian here. You're putting forth a very narrow view of the concept of knowledge and knowing.
While not coming out and saying it, you appear to be suggesting that empiricism is the only (or at least the best) method for knowledge. I just don't think that's true. There are many things that you hold as true that you can't support empirically.
I think what many people do is to deny the necessity of a creator BECAUSE they don't want to deal with the very hard question of who that creator is.
As you know, it is my contention that the God described in christianity is there best explanation for reality as we know it.. Does that mean I don't think it's possible for me to be wrong? No, of course not.
The EXISTENCE of God is axiomatic. The IDENTITY of God is less certain.
REMEBER only way to repent sins and be saved by Christ Acts 11:14-18, Luke 11:9-13, Zeph 3:9/Acts 2:4 and Heb 12:23 Just follow only the original gospel tradition teaching not different churches but Jesus will guide and teach you personally to the end John 10:1-6,11-16, Acts 4:12 and 1 John 2:24-25!
