- Program 2022 ................... - Christian - Forgiveness - Value of People ..............
Recorded at Texas State University - October 2021.
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.

God hasn't healed me in 13 years of praying and crying. I know about that all too well but I will not lose faith
I see his infinite bearded face. I prove it a lot on my UA-cam channel. Do you want me to pray for you?
@Our Savior thank you God bless you ♥️
Indeed!
I too have been afflicted with _many_ different health issues since the 80s, and for years I would seek healing from those claiming to have the gift of healing...but after countless tries, my illnesses have only *gotten worse!* To the point where I am now disabled, housebound and in constant pain.
Nevertheless, it has not weakened my faith...no...on the contrary, *_my faith has only grown stronger!_*
I will pray for your healing ❤️
Hey…I’m like you in that I have a ‘thorn in my side’ that I struggle with on a daily basis and that I will likely struggle with until the day I die. If my life was absolutely perfect I wouldn’t need God. But because I have struggles, just like everyone else on this planet, I need God to help me. He can use our pain and struggles in ways we can’t even see yet. Just remember God loves you, He listens to you and is always in control even when life seems out of control. Like Cliffe said in the video, even he does not know why God chooses to heal some and not others and illustrated how Jesus was the same. But we know He can heal if He so chooses. He can see the bigger picture whereas we can’t and as long as you keep your faith and trust in Him, you will have the strength to endure 🙏🏽
Hebrews 11:6 🛡
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him”
@Our Savior
Amen indeed, Jacob.
Yes! And faith without works is a dead faith James17:21 and cbristians arent supposed to sin everyday 1John3:8 Romans6 Psalm5:5 Psalm7:11 just a few 🙏💙
So...you need to believe it to believe it?
@@colinmatts
No, faith is based on evidence... If not, then it is "blind faith". And blind faith is dangerous. Blind faith is what makes people fly jumbo jets into highrise buildings.
@@GraftedOliveBranch So, what evidence is Christian faith based on? Stories in an old book? BTW, if you have evidence you don't need faith
God did not promise to heal everyone physically but he promises to heal everyone spiritually who believes in Him.
most of my life, I have been disabled, over 40+ years, the desire to be healed will always be there....and it will always humble me to know how fragile and broken this world is.... I hear atheist blaming God, if he really exist, why is he allowing things in this world...but i never heard someone blame the big bang for how i cant ever run, and that I need a wheelchair...cuz in their view, the world came out of nothing and i am still nothing...
1 Corinthians 15:3-5 👑
“For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve”
Only in western culture is it an insult to acknowledge the brokeness of humanity
So very true. Here in the west, so many people celebrate their own brokenness as a virtue.
I honestly think this is the best way to learn the gospel.. I love it
It's not
I know the way he doesn't
Me to! I use these types of videos for Bible study.

Amen to that, brother.

Beautiful...God bless everyone!
Luv the girl in black, so much attitude and questioning everything. That's the type of person I like. She's not a follower or leader, but someone who just uses her brain to think for herself. Exactly as I think. Luv to her💙
She does think, as everyone should. she makes a great point on free will, i agree we have free will but no one is really totally free. I am free to speed but I also pay the price for the freedom. We are made to worship, we are free to choose what or who but there is a consequence for our choices.
Personally I don't respect it. Questioning everything can be a quality but then bringing no alternatives or structure to their own thoughts and life just makes them very parrot like to me
So about like you seem to come across. You just dont like anyone questioning your belief system....TOO BAD. That's wat humanity had intelligence for. If it were up to people like you and yr beliefs we would still be living in mud huts. Because everythats different from wats in the bible...is always called a sin. Get a life.
We love your videos Clift 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I really enjoy the videos ,keep preaching the gospel .......from 🇵🇷Puerto Rico
Nice man, nice to know
Thank you!
another great one- well done Cliffe and stuart
Hi cliff and Stewart nice conversation with the students, you got to make part 2 you guys. Am from Jamaica and I've always watched your videos, I think you guys are doing a great job out there 👍
I like the readiness of the pastors to be questioned and challenged. This is amazing.
*Isaiah* *53* *~*
'Behold, my servant shall act wisely; he shall be high and lifted up, and shall be exalted. As many were astonished at you - his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of the children of mankind - so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which has not been told them they see, and that which they have not heard they understand. Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, everyone, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore i will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors'.
God is so good to us! Great job & God bless Cliffe & Stuart, you're doing God's will!
Awesome job answering those tough questions my Brother's in Christ!
May Jesus bless you and your loved ones.
This channel has so much great content, it's a great tool to learn and understand these arguments. It would, however, be great to see the full length of these conversations instead of having them cut short at times. This channel has been a blessing to me in so many ways, keep doing what you're doing. 💙
Wow, you two are very articulate and quick thinkers. I would have been stumbled and needed some time to think on some of these questions. Keep on preaching !
God bless you Cliffe and Stuart 🙏
I love the Father Son team work. What a Great Blessing and very inspirational. Praise the Lord.
John 3:16-21 💝
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
Wow this was an amazing explanation.
"And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and WITHOUT SHEDDING OF BLOOD THERE IS NO REMISSION.'"

Hey man I need y’all to seriously speed up the release of these videos please 🙏🏾 absolutely favorite thing to watch.
Man is valuable because we are image bearer’s of God.
And _how_ did you come to conclude we are image bearers of this god?
@@theoskeptomai2535 Be honest with yourself "theo", we both know you don't want to know the answer to this question; you've been through this merry go round so many times, you ask the questions & refuse the answers unless you approve of them with your worldview.
Do you think you're an inherently good person? Have you ever lied(Exodus 20:16)? looked at someone with lust(Exodus 20:14/Matthew 5:28))? used God's name in vain(Exodus 20:7)? These are just three of the commandments (Exodus 20), we all fall short (Romans 3:23) & defy the God who created the universe (Genesis 1:1). The wages of this sin is death, physically (Romans 6:23a) & eternally (Hebrews 9:27). If God judges you by His standard when you die? where will you go? Christ Jesus (John 1:1), the Son of God in the Triune Godhead (Matthew 28:19) was born of a virgin by the Holy Spirit (God, see Matthew 28:19, 1:18 & Luke 1:35) to die for our sins (John 3:16/Romans 5:8/Romans 6:23b), taking the punishment we deserve on Himself freely(2 Corinthians 5:21).
If you repent of our sins (turning away, not just saying sorry & playing the hypocrite going back to it) & trust in Jesus for our right standing with God (Mark 1:15), we are justified in God's sight, absolved of our sins (Isaiah 1:18), a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).
God says whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13).
All other faiths are works based, Jesus said "I am the way, the truth & the life, no one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6), no other religion claims that, please consider His unique, free offer.
May God show Himself to you in Spirit & truth, God bless!

Oh yes He does…. They have the Good News of Redemption explained to them before God’s throne:
Revelation 20:12-15 (ESV)
12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
God’s love extends to all!
If anyone believes in Him, they will have eternal life!
@Our Savior Let's discuss your 3 items one at a time.
How did you determine this god "made us"?
@Our Savior Are you simply going to avoid this question as well?
it was getting really good there at the end!
@@sterlingfallsproductions3930 your not seeing the point. The point he is trying to convey is that if their is no God, absolutely nothing matters in the end. Everything means nothing inherently and its us who creates those morals and values. Everything is relative. That's what hes trying to convey. I hope this helps
@@danj8038 Yes, it reminded me of the writer of Ecclesiates, who said "all is vanity", as he was looking at things under the sun (or rather, if there is no God). And the video was cut off before the answer, when it is usually brought out that the Bible teaches that God gives us value, as He creates us in our mother's womb, and that we are created in the image of God.
@@robertmitchell8438 for my statement to be true I need proof ?
So Im assuming you can prove God doesnt exist?
What God metric did you use to prove he doesnt exist
How do you know its just not our eyes that cant see God
Can you prove to me that you were here at the start of the universe to know it wasnt God that created it
Prove me to that your proof is actually proof.
You see, you cant do none of that. So stop asking questions that cant be answered by any side.
The better question you should have asked was: What is the evidence you have that God exist
so let me ask you: what is the evidence that God doesnt exist.
How can everything mean nothing? if we are an accident, everything means nothing because we weren't created for anything. We just exist and that in itself is not inherently valueable.
You cant live with the fact that you mean nothing ultimately but thats how your worlview is ( assuming you believe no God).
Sorry but I only go to where the truth points to and it doesnt make sense we are trying to live like God exists without believing in one. Thats one of the most backwards thing we are doing. look at society trying to be "moral" what a joke with no weight towards it. utterly meaningless
@@sterlingfallsproductions3930 Right. Cockroaches are less valuable then saying humans come from star dust, fish or monkeys.
@@sterlingfallsproductions3930 I get the same runaround from Jacob as well. Baseless assertions, false projections, and when asked to explain his comments, cowers off. I agree. Jacob has resorted to only trolling at this point.
Well done!
Ugh was getting so good by the end. Need a way to watch the entire thing
Why did y’all cut that last conversation!? I was getting into it!!’ UggagahahHhhhhN
The girl in black asking "isn't that insulting to say that all of humanity needs to be saved/born again?" She gets it more than most people. She understands how radical it really is for Jesus to tell someone "you need to be born again" implying that natural man is already broken from birth.
yummm, so tasty to hear this kind of conversation. such a blessing!
SALVATION IS ONLY IN JESUS CHRIST 🙌 John 14:6 kjv
Ecclesiastes 12: 13-14
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God and keep His commandments,
For this is man’s all.
For God will bring every work into judgment,
Including every secret thing,
Whether good or evil.
1 John 5:1-5
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world-our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
What do you mean by the phrase "overcomes the world"?
@@theoskeptomai2535 John 16:33
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
1 John 4:1-6
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
1 Corinthians 15:50-56
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed- in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“O Death, where is your sting?
O Hades, where is your victory?”
The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 8:37-39
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
@@quiet-strength I will try once more:
What do you mean by the phrase "overcomes the world"?
@@theoskeptomai2535 I quoted Scripture. Your question doesn't make sense. So I shared more Scripture that can answer you.
@@quiet-strength You mean your phrase doesn't make sense. It was YOU that used the phrase. I am simply asking what you mean by it.

Cliffe rocks! (pun intended)
I see no actual "Jesus" in this "world stage". That is just an honest assessment.
lol the ending was so intense. Brutally honest though, and telling that not many actually thinks through this stuff anymore...And this is why some of the most prominent atheist that lived had realized that yea, if there is no God then we create value and if we create it then truly no one has no less value than a bug.
All Santa wants is you to be good. You are to be good for goodness' sake, nothing but for goodness' sake.
By the way, every living thing has its own role in this bio-ecosystem in nature. Good example may be bees. We need bees. They're valuable. What goes around what comes around? I didn't know but all in balance. So don't crush a serpent's head just because they're serpents.
It's scary that judges today actually are letting killers, and other violent criminals out of jail far too soon
Christ took everyone’s eternal punishment.
Revelation 1:18-19 👑
“When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. But He placed His right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last, the Living One. I was dead, and behold, now I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of Death and of Hades.”
Death and Hades are not eternal realms. "“O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?”1Cor 15:55 - Here God is declaring victory over these evil realms which are ruled by the lawless one.
You see, Satan owned human souls after Adam and Eve tasted the fruit of knowledge and Jesus came to go there, into a realm of the dead, to defeat Satan and take the keys from those realms to Himself, so that now He can release souls from Hell.
@@nikokapanen82
And, Death and Hell are thrown into the Lake of Fire…
Revelation 20:12-15 (ESV)

And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.

@Our Savior
🤔
The notion of Sodom and Gomorrah burning ‘forever’ isn’t what I read in the text… 🧐 maybe you get it some place else?
Genesis 19:23-29
The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar. Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the LORD out of heaven. And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.
But Lot's wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD. And he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the valley, and he looked and, behold, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace.
So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had lived.
@Our Savior
Oh… ok.
I can still read your words: ‘just as Sodom and Gomorrah burned forever’… would you like to edit that comment then?
@Our Savior
No worries!
As you walk His Way, rejoicing in His Truth, you will find His Life.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
I love Cliffe's videos but I think he did a the girl asking about women seeming to be less compared to men in the bible a disservice. The young girl raised the issue of why women can't be pastors and the bible teaches that only men can can be pastors so it seemed that Cliffe either doesn't believe that or he choose to avoid it. He mentions his "pastor" women friends as if that's credibility to his argument but that doesn't truthfully answer the question the young lady had. He should have told her that men and women as equal but have different roles and the role of pastor is designated for men but I was a bit shocked to have cliffe not clearly response to that argument
I agree with you, and you also spoke as if churches that have only men as pastors are not biblical
The silence was really 'deafening'
A woman is valuable because she lives. Because I appreciate that girl in black.....in the eyes of the beholder, we all have value.
But why?
@@kymdickman8910 without any life....this would be a dead rock in a dead universe. Every life on this earth from trees to tiny insects ect, it's an eco system of such Importance. We are all part of this system that brings a dead rock to life. WE LIVE. THATS WHY WE ARE ALL EQUALLY IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE. LIFE IS THE MIRACLE OF THE UNIVERSE. YOU, ME AND EVERY OTHER LIFE FORM HERE. Even if that girl doesn't feel valued...as someone (myself)- who sees the beauty in all life....she matters, shes alive and is valued by me...just as you are.
@@Sam-zu5mr thanks… That’s beautiful.
However, life is surrounded by death. Senescence is present in every living cell… and entropy rules over every system on the planet.
So, valuing life because it’s present simply fails when life ceases.
The Bible tells us Who is the Source of Life; what brought Death into the world; and how the Source of Life has defeated it.
That being the case, we have value as living beings because God values us. He showed how much He values us… enough to rescue us from the power of sin and death… and not only us, but His whole creation.
I was feeling like an awful sinner as a seen none of the comments noted that, now I know ots at least two😑
It's a little hard to take these students seriously on the one hand they will reject the Christian concept of original sin.
Yet they will fully embrace a concept advanced by their Left wing professors such as White guilt.
So, I take it that you have moved on after you have avoided my repeated request to answer a single question for 3 days. It is obvious that you are not interested in carrying on an intelligential exchange of dialogue. Shame on you!
@Our Savior Yes on the mention of original Sin they tend to invoke. The Sins of the Father Rhetorical fallacy, Then by logical extension the same fallacious reasoning comes into play ( concerning white guilt ). What Christianity understands better than any Egalitarian is the brutal nature of man.
@@Generatorman59 I beg to differ good sir
my position was always that Subjective morality cannot logically exist.
You asserted that you believe that morality exists but it is subjective in nature. However you could not prove it but in order for me to believe in it, it would have to exist ( primacy of existence ).
@Our Savior O I'm sorry to hear that.
@@giauscaesar8047 Well, if you beg to differ, then prove you answered the question. Just copy and paste an excerpt of your answer and let me know when you posted it.
I am not denying the fact that you don't believe in subjective morality. That was not the issue. My charge with you is the fact that you completely ignored my question for 3 days.
Your position on subjective morality does not logically prevent you from answering my question. You are avoiding my question because that question absolutely destroys your position on objective morality.
You believe morality is objective and I have been challenging you to defend your position by posing that single question. And for 3 days, your response on objective morality has been *CRICKETS*.
Again, I am not asking you to believe in subjective morality. Rather, I am asking you to defend objective morality. And if you can adequately answer that question, I would consider your position defended. Good luck!

False. Cliff needs to repent of this
I wish I can find the next video where it doesn't stop halfway the ending was getting good
🙏💖🙏💖🙏
Without life this planet, this galaxy and possibly the rest of the universe would be empty. This world, the living EVERYTHING has value, just by contributing as individuals to the sustainability of all life. Yes we live, yes we die, but as long as new life takes the place of old......this universe remains full. All living thing have value EQUALLY SO. Without life, this universe is VOID. Our planet is special. It needs to be protected. Just by being alive we give this beautiful place value. Instead of it just being a dead rock circling around the sun. Life is extremely precious and it comes in many forms. Remember this.
The true purpose for this life is to make sure we get our inheritance of everlasting life. regrettably at this stage you’re not getting it. And that’s a pity.
Matthew 13:19
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
Why is it cut off! I want to see how they responded to the last question! I want to see everything until you guys start packing up the cameras 😂
The most high makes well and sick. 😮😅 The lord is coming back to clean house and free the oppressed. 🙋🙋
This 'lord' is coming back. Where is this lord currently?
About healing, Jesus said, “by your Faith you are healed”! A lot of people don’t get healed because of there Faith. Jesus even said, “will I find Faith when I come back”?
Where can we watch the full clip?
1 John 3:15-17
15 Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.
16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?
Yall can't tell me you did not see the synced footwork of them both on the first few seconds. Father n Son for real
So disappointed. not in the video, the fact that it ended 😂
Thank you for this video. BTW- Jesus' brother James was NOT the head of the Sanhedrin.

*QUESTION:* "Why does the idea of saving offend you?"
*SUBCONSCIOUS ANSWER[?]:* I'm an unrepentant sinner.
Happy to answer that Jesse, personally, I'm not "offended* by being saved, never have been. I've never even heard anyone say they are offended. Who gets to say what counts as sin? .. Christians usually mean things associated with sex when they talk about sin. I have no problem whatsoever looking at a sexy woman. It's a very pleasurable experience. We could have a good open conversation about this.
The deplorable state of Christianity in the tenth century, arose from ignorance that gave rein to, superstition and immorality.
Christianity became so strong, that learning, became proportionately weak. It had been sinking lower and lower during each succeeding epoch, and in the tenth century it reached its deepest stage of degradation.
The ignorance of this barbarous age, and under the influence of Christianity, the literature and teaching, of Greece; which, brought us Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, Euclid, Zenophon, and many other mighty ones, had sunk.
In the West, things were worse, and instead of Rome-Pagan, that spread light and civilization (Rome of Cicero, of Virgil, of Lucretius), we have Christianity: the spreader of darkness, and degradation.
Nothing could be more deplorable, than the darkness that reigned in the western world during the tenth century.
In the seminaries of learning (such as they were), the seven liberal sciences were taught in the most unskillful and miserable manner, by the monks, who esteemed the arts and sciences no further than as they were subservient to the views of superstition.
The clergy were, for the most part, composed of a most worthless set of men, shamefully illiterate and stupid, ignorant, more especially in religious matters, equally enslaved to sensuality and superstition, and capable of the most abominable and flagitious deeds.

Nice claims. It is all stuffing nonsense, but then, you believe whatever you have to in order to justify your "lack of belief", if that's what makes you feel good. Go ahead, ignore history if you must, but to do so is very foolish on your part. Troll on Jackal... and run away as always when your nonsense is challenged. Fact is, it was the theists who gave us scientific inquiry, and that for very good reasons.
@@jessebryant9233 heeeey! They thing to know about JG is that he's not an atheist. He's a kabbalist. You wouldn't know that because he claims that his beliefs are "none of your business".
His ideological inferiority complex drives his anti Christian BS.
You take God out of any society and what is left? Relativism. That is where the "land of the free and home of the brave" is at. You have your truth, I have my truth. There is no truth. The majority of Americans really believe it. Thank God I went to a Christian University. You are amazing AskCliffe.
Are you asserting there is a god in any society?
@@theoskeptomai2535 do you ever get any of the answers you’re actually looking for ? Nothing seems satisfactory to you, and nobody owes you an answers ….
@@oscarsantos2240 I am not looking for any particular answer. I am searching for truth. And, you're a correct. Nobody owes me answers. Ought that fact be a reason to stop searching for truth?
@@theoskeptomai2535 i like i said, no answer is satisfactory to you .
@@oscarsantos2240 And you're wrong. All answers that concur with reality are not only acceptable and satisfactory, but _compelling_ to me. I find such answers every single day. I aim to discover and retain those things that are true and comport with reality while aiming to recognize and remove those things that do not comport with reality.
So depressing to see the questions being answered but the students don’t pay attention to detail or can’t wrap their heads around the concept being discussed.
Are you up for answering question about the supposed event surrounding this Jesus?
IAN ♥️♥️💪✌️
To have everlasting life you absolutely must trust in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation.
Saving repentance is turning from unbelief to belief.
A woman is valuable because after Adam was created God so that it wasn't good for Adam to be alone and God made Eve for Adam. That is why women are valuable in my own opinion.
One important aspect of Jesus dying on a cross - He is participating in human suffering.
I think the girl was asking, if judgement for wrong deeds is what God does because he is just, how then can he allow the thief on the cross to come into heaven without judgement. Where she misses is the repentance and contrite heart of wrong doing of the thief. Please correct me if I am wrong
it was a bit of a confusing question, I got kinda lost on that one myself
Hey cliff,
So can you give me biblical background on why women can preach/be pastors?
I just want to follow scripture correctly as I see in 1 Timothy it says otherwise
Please help out, someone. I want the biblical back up for evidence for others as well
Hello😊 Mike Winger (UA-cam) just did a 6 part series on women in ministry. Great stuff👍
Jesus died for our sins because he is the only "human" who died sinless. His blood 🩸 was in exchange for our sins & according to God's Natural Law. When he rose again, he was able to be our Lord! When we "choose" with our free will to accept his blood sacrifice, is when we are saved. It also gives lucifer no grievance legally in the throne room of God. So beautiful
Are you aware of any evidentiary facts that can substantiate these claims? Yes or no.
@@theoskeptomai2535 my lawyer would advise me to say it is my belief there is evidence
@@laurenbrown869 Was that a "yes"or a "no"?
@@laurenbrown869 I didn't ask what you lawyer would advise you to do. I asked you if you are aware of any evidentiary facts that can demonstrate the truth of the claim you asserted in your original comment? Yes or no. It is a straightforward question.
@Our Savior How is the fact that Laura Brown avoided my question altogether a "nice job"?
I thought atonement was ridiculous and it was just a symbol of love, but now I understand this can be considered rational as visibly absorbing the hit, still a symbol, but atonement has less baggage.
John 14:6-7,
Next time the girl doesn’t understand the need for salvation give her the ray comfort good person test
The "Ray Comfort good person" test is easily dismantled. It is only the gullible that fall into such word traps. And if I ever found myself face to face with Ray Comfort, and he used this technique on me, I'd gladly show why he's wrong about a lot of things. But you won't see it aired on his UA-cam channel.
How do you respond to 1 Timothy 2:12-15?
Stuart could definitely use some work on his lines of questioning. He allows for too much room for the student to make false points without directly addressing them instantly. Not to bash him in anyway, because he’s doing a better job than I ever could, but he definitely still has some things to learn from Cliffe.
Wouldn't you do the same thing?
what is your opinion on weed if you are pure on it and do pure things?
Part 2????
A woman is valuable because she is man's helpmate.
Why would I forgive my abuser? If Cliffe or anyone slapped me or anyone I love unprovoked, I'm throwing down.
Why? Because you believe you've been wronged. Because you believe in objective moral values and duties-which do not exist if God does not exist. But returning evil for evil is rarely the best solution...
@@jessebryant9233 Defending yourself and others who are being violated isn't evil.
@@jessebryant9233 What would be an example of a "moral value"?
@@jessebryant9233 Are you ever going to snswer my question?
Did Cliffe just school actresses Hillary Swank and Jennifer Carpenter on God. Epic
You dropped the ball there on that woman can't be pastors and Priscilla and Acuilla weren't pastors we aren't given much indication of them being pastors. Other than a brief stint of them informing
apollos which isn't un a role of pastoral duties but in a more sisterly role of alive outside of church settings which is allowed.
(Falls under sharing faith which all are commanded)
Yeshua had to die on the cross for forgiveness because during those times Jews would have to sacrifice flawless lambs to have their sins forgiven. He was the eternal sacrifice and His bloodshed has forgiven us for all sins!
It’s called a blood sacrifice upon the cross as the lamb
Just an observation on the comments. I suspect I see more comments complaining about how others are not answering their questions than anything else. Here's a newsflash. No one is entitled to an answer just because they ask a question.
If you aren't getting answers, you should consider the possibility that your questions are stupid.
What you should NOT do is conclude that you're the smartest kid on class and that everyone is intimidated by you... looking at you Theo Skeptomai.
You're absolutely right Jeff, no one is obliged to answer someone's question(s) I've never regarded Theo as being intimidating, maybe he's a bit like me and enjoys these theological debates, i think we were both raised as Christians and we've both been able to take a step back and look at Christianity from a different angle. Sometimes if you're in a wood, you can't see anything else but other trees.. and if you've lived you life in a wood, that's all you know. I'm guessing a lot of Christians in here have lived their lives in a Christian bubble. If you're able to step out of that bubble... my goodness, there is a whole other world out there.
It's a bit like us thinking the Sun revolved around us .. and that would seem a logical conclusion .. until the likes of Copernicus and Galileo (and others) figured it out.
Theo would be the first person to admit he's not the smartest kid in the class.. i think.
@@bonnie43uk blah blah blah. Why do you waste your time here? And why do you keep calling me "Jeff"?
Do you think that's my name?
@@saintpaulofyoutube4416 Is it not Jeff Gibbs? .. i like to call people by their first names... if it's not Jeff. .. then you've spent a long long time not mentioning that I've been calling you a name that doesn't belong to you? ... I think if someone referred to me as "Alan", I would have corrected them there and then.. not let them keep calling me Alan for years.
Btw, this certainly is *not* a waste of my time chatting about theological matters, it's something that is deeply ingrained in me, and always will be... Christianity played a massive part in my life. I've mentioned this in plenty of my conversations with Christians over the past 10 years Jeff. Feel free to call me Tom 😊
@@bonnie43uk "christianity has played a massive part in my life"
That sentence means nothing.
If I corrected everything you're wrong about, I'd have to quit my job.
@@robertmitchell8438 you could conclude that. Narcissism would be the primary reason a person WOULD conclude it though.
Hey Stuart, another answer to why Jesus had to die for sin instead of just forgiving us is because if he didn't do the act of paying for sin he would have been condoning it. It's the same as some one stealing from you and you saying it's ok I forgive you. Without the punishment for the crime or the returning of the stolen item they will only continue to sin. So God knew the best way to forgive the sinner while also putting sin to death. This is why it says he who knew no sin 'became' sin. Without paying the debt of sin it wouldn't have been forgiveness it would have been condoning.
God say's All the world is not as stage.
The cross is the manifestation of our sins (the sins of the world from the beginning of the world) and Jesus carried that cross and he was hung on that cross, the cross which is the manifestation of our sins.
Please someone help me add more to this comment.

There is a saying in Rigveda , the first book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell -" Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah"- Let the knowledge come to us from every direction...

Cliff says.......'I've never even date raped '...........Even !!!..............this sums up how this narcissist think ....wow !
That girl seems to be offended by the Gospel.
I love his videos. But he did just side step and not answer the question about the flooding (mass genocide) and how that was loving. He regretted it after, as it says in the Bible, but he definitely didn't address that question. Rest of it I enjoyed.
1 corinth 14:34 let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak;but they are to be submissive, as the law also says
NO! why did you end the video with a CLIFFhanger (see what I did there?)
