To the person who wanted Jesus to appear and prove himself: the first thing Adam and Eve did after they sinned was cover themselves up and hide. They didn’t want to see God. Later, when prophets were given a glimpse of God, they cowered in utter fear. When Jesus ( who is God) appeared without His glory, the people ( including you and I) crucified Him. Mankind doesn’t really seek God. He seeks us. He’s seeking you now!
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us. 👆There's a reason the first sentence above preceeds the second.
@@pyrology101it's written that no man has seen God yes, but it's also written that Jesus Christ revealed God The Father in Himself. So if you see Jesus Christ you can see and know The Father without literally seeing The Father in His own Glorified Spirit. You can't just take one verse and run with it without the other. I don't know your intent for saying that though.
As I'm about to make my own comment about that same part in the show is that no person could handle or maybe even live through looking upon the true face of God.
The Sermon on the Mount is what ended my lifelong atheism. It was undeniable that Christ was/is neither crazy nor a conman, but a man with divine knowledge and divine morality.
“We all have a God sized hole in our hearts,” when confronted with absolute morality and truth. As human beings I dare say we have a responsibility not only to ourselves but for society to seek such truth & with an opened heart.
Only God can resurrect from the dead. Only God has a love so abundant that He would die for His enemies. Jesus Christ is exactly who He says He is and He does exactly what he says He will do.
Can we PLEASE get Cliffe on Joe Rogan? Cliffe if you read this I would love it if you did a podcast episode with Joe Rogan, my reason for this request is because you can reach so much people that will not see you or hear you. Including my family.❤

Well you certainly have to have mastered a certain skill set to be admitted to a college or university so that negates your statement about their intelligence. The apostle Paul was a Pharisee of the Pharisees when he was knocked off his beast on the road to Damascus.

The fact that we think that we are even worthy of God, even showing us anything other than his wrath is whats wrong with this world. We have 2 choices Jesus which leads to life or, or the world which leads to death. God is so good to us and none of deserve it at all.

The problem with 24:00 kid's thoughts... is that his take is "if we try to live within the rules", that should be good enough, but the reality is that, no matter how hard we try, we will make mistakes, and we will sin. All humans have this quality.

I just discovered Cliffe Knechtle and these videos. I want to hear more. This man's knowledge is impressive and his zeal for Christ is mind-blowing. He has ANSWERS. I need more.
Nice, a classic Cliffe video. Spring 2006 I was only 20 years old. Don't forget to like and subscribe so we can get more awesome Cliffe and Stuart videos. God bless everyone!!!
I’ve now found from watching these older episodes and the current episodes, that there is a difference with the young Gen Z students and the Millennial/Gen X students, and that is the current students have more respect and genuine heartfelt questions. These older vids are often irritated white Atheist bros trying to bring Cliffe down and look intellectual. So as an elder millennial I’m encouraged to see our young students increasing in number to ask Cliffe to give them an answer, not try prove how dumb he is and how smart I they are.
I really admire Cliffe and Stewart. I would be tempted to answer so many of these people sarcastically lol… and they usually answer with such grace and patience.
Cliff, I really like your answers to inquiring young people. I really think presenting the Gospel to everyone there was what they wanted. I’m not criticizing. The Vid was cut short so you may have. Thanks for your teachings. May God bless you.
Even though these people are very rarely "proven wrong" by Cliffe, there is an incredibly value to hearing these opposing views. Cliffe sets an example for us by being willing to listen to these questions and always respond in a thoughtful and respectful manner. The truth is that the world will constantly push these difficult questions upon us, but I think videos like this prepare us to face that confusion with faith rather than hysteria.
"Appear at my side right now." 1) The heavens (and the earth) are telling the glory of God, so that we are without excuse. 2) God is doing so for this guy, through Cliffe. If it is true as the Bible says that humanity is the pinnacle of God's creation, then it stands to reason that God would prefer in most cases to use this sharpest knife in his drawer to communicate with us and "appear" to us. 3) King Herod took a similar attitude as this guy when he had a real life audience with Jesus. He wanted to be dazzled by signs and miracles, he wanted to see a Vegas magic show and spectacle. But he had no interest in the substance of what Jesus was about. What did he get from Jesus? Complete silence. A few years on, he was eaten alive by worms. For anyone like this kid, where is your heart? Do you want God to show himself to you in a way that makes him just so much more matter and energy for you to manipulate to your own ends, thereby making you the real god? Or do you really want to know him?
You see? This is why I'd make a bad preacher. The moment i heard any of these elitist condescending kids ask their ridiculous questions, with such tone of superiority, Id immediately just walk away. Id probably shout out, "You're done. NEXT!" I dont know where Cliff gets his patience from. He has inhuman tolerance.
He gets it from the Holy Spirit. The kid with the white with red jersey sleeves is..."insert unchristian insult here"... lemme get this straight... you don't want to put your faith in Christ because you've never done any work to find out who He is? Like you said... NEXT!
@@S3cr3tsquirral I think He calls me to sin, so others have an example of what NOT to do. 😟 Just to be clear: I know God isnt calling on me to sin. Lol
The more I watch these types of videos, the more I’m convinced that ego and pride are the biggest issues facing our era. Technology, advancement, and the internet have wiped out any humility we used to have, which made space for things like faith. Our notion and standard for “evidence” has shifted to an almost impossible level of satisfaction.
I would be careful to say if someone were to die and raise from the grave is someone I would listen closely to. The evil one will mimic the resurrection. The death and resurrection are a pinnacle point in Christ and our faith in him, but it is his way of life that is evident and shows the truth behind the resurrection. Be careful on stating listening closely to someone who resurrects from the dead. Book of Revelation reference.
I think what he says is perfectly understandable. Listening closely doesn’t automatically equate to believing in what is being said. Rather paying very close attention to what is being said in its entirety. I think Cliffe would have the sense to compare what a person coming back from the dead would say against what Jesus says.
@@yesayamichaelchandra648 precisely. And because we have already established that Jesus is 100% who He says He is, I personally think that even if a person came back from the dead and claimed to be a savior I still wouldn’t believe it. Call me stubborn🥶🤷🏻♂️. But Jesus has firmly placed Himself in my Heart as #1.
In this scenario, listening to the risen one would be apropos to finding out if they represented God, were God, or were of the enemy. If we follow Jesus Christ, having accepted him as our Lord, we can trust that no matter whom we meet and what we hear we will continue to follow Jesus Christ to heaven. You live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me,” declares the LORD. - Jeremiah 9:6 Evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. -2 Timothy 3:13 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. - Colossians 2:8
An answer that I believe in and has at least clicked with me the most was given to me by my dad and it comes from the book and chapter of 2 Thessalonians 2:9 when it speaks of false miracles or miracles that don’t come from god so wouldn’t it make since for the true miracles to stop to be able to differentiate between the godly and ungodly
You can see how difficult it was for Jesus back in the day, even now after knowing him, we’re still ignorant, I can’t imagine how hard it was back then.
For the person who questions why God doesn’t just appear right then and there so they can believe, and when told to seek the truth by reading the Bible, they clearly state they won’t this shows a lack of interest in seeking either truth or knowledge, even for their own understanding or to argue their point better. The laziness reaches astonishing levels of disinterest. It seems like they simply don’t care at all. Disinformation and ignorance and I include myself in this for many topics blind us completely and make us unwilling to listen to or seek the truth. The best way to resolve doubts is by searching for answers yourself. As Clief says, "Don’t believe me, go find the answers and investigate yourself." And yet, people still don’t do it, which is quite ironic. We have time for everything, but people just don’t feel like it - that’s the truth. Until they reach a point in life where they need Him. Something life has shown me is that, at some moment, everyone will seek God, and He will answer them.
This is one of the times i could disagree with Cliffe i understood him rightly. The Bible clearly mentions in Ephesians 3:20-21 The Message (MSG) God can do anything, you know-far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! I like Cliffe but he's a human too and the understanding of God is something we learn everday
What is hard to listen to is people who have the arrogance to judge God and Jesus Christ and the obviously haven’t studied Jesus teachings and when debating Cliff that is exposed; then they become disingenuous and dishonest during the discussion. They really don’t know what they don’t know.
About the last lady... Even if there were no heaven, I'd still be a Christian. A life in God provides His unexplainable joy, no matter what difficulties we are going through and that this life has a purpose. We are not just meat machines running randomly around.
I think that the last girl who spoke was referring to the idea that Lucifer is referred to as the Dawn bringer and that when you have sinned and the negative implications that come with that sin bring understanding. It “dawns” on you that that was wrong and why not to do it. But I agree that it is far better to stay on the straight and narrow rather than to have to experience that turmoil of having to learn after sin.
The irony of that young woman going on about Cliffe being so worried about the afterlife instead of just living now. She’s so passionately worried about what Cliffe is supposedly worrying about 😅🤦🏻♂
Amazing video ❤, it’d be awesome if Cliffe could come back to the UofA along with Stuart. I’d think there’d be some good conversations to be heard and questions to be asked 👍
You could hear it in her voice. The thought that hell could be real terrifies her. However, she deludes herself by denying the existence of it and God.
1:19 im pretty sure god could easily turn a square into a circle if he wanted to. satan tried to temp jesus to turn rocks into bread because he knew he could do it, and before that, Jesus’s first miracle was turning water into wine.
Right, but Cliffe said God can’t make a square circle, not turn a square into a circle. Of course God could bend a square until it becomes a circle, but something that is a square and a circle at the same time is a logical impossibility.
Cliffe i am a born again Christian i fell off my path and just recently found my way back (chosen to actually put effort to be obedient to his word ) i want you to direct me to a specific bible And i will go and get it and i will read it front to back i appreciate your videos your awesome much love im serious about the bible aha please if you see this just send me a link or anything
Actually there’s a very good book on this very subject written by Gail Riplinger. It’s called, New Age Bible Versions. But she’s on Utube too and you can watch her there.
I'm always wondering about what happened to those Christians who fought and killed each other? I mean I'm not talking about small personal sins but big ones with other Christians. What happened to Joan of Arc who believed she obeyed God's command against England. Did she end up in heaven or hell? What about the US Civil War? Christians vs Christians, killing each other. I'm sure both believed Jesus Christ and accepted him as their savior. Who went to heaven or hell? And so many other conflicts with Christians vs Christians or Christians vs others but did horrible things in the name of the God? While they sincerely believed in God and accepted Jesus as their savior.
God looks at their heart. Did they genuinely fight for a righteous cause, or was there spiritual deception to lead believers into a cause that was unbiblical. Either way they are responsible for their choices. God allowed Rahab to lie to the authorities in Jericho about the two Israeli spies in order to usher Israel into their promised land. If a lesser sin like lying to the Nazis that you are hiding Jews leads to the safety of those people, God honors the morally higher outcome out of something that in any other context would be sin. It is possible to take sinful actions that lead to death of you or others and still be in Christ when those actions were taken. If you made a regular habit of killing people just out of pure entertainment, that's not a heart that God honors. But if you were killing people for a certain cause that you didn't believe was wrong and it showed by benefiting the freedom of slaves or the freeing of people in concentration camps during the Holocaust, God would consider that just and righteous. I think of the Black American slave Nat Turner and the slave rebellion, he rose up to fight the evil White slave masters that were making his life and other African slaves a living hell. He was a preacher and he saw the signs and wonders in nature as provision from God to advance His Kingdom, including starting a rebellion after a solar eclipse in 1831. I believe for the safety and the welfare of the enslaved Black Americans on plantations who were under oppression, Nat Turner was called by God to help free those who God would have ultimately wanted freed. At the end of they day, it is the Lord who claims ultimate vengeance and He can use humanity as a tool to accomplish it. For those who claim to be in Christ and supported the institution of slavery, God will judge accordingly. There were many Christians with spiritual blindspots like believing elements of racism or sexism or discrimination of any kind is okay, and God still forgave them if they came to genuinely understand how wrong it is, whether in this life or in front of the Throne of Judgement after they died.
Is anyone going to acknowledge the fact that when Cliffe asked "Have you ever brought the whip down on the back of a black slave?" the guys answer was "No not recently" 25:43
I was 9 when this was originally recorded. Now, as a 27 y/o, I get the fruit of this labor. Thank you God for Cliffe!

2) God is doing so for this guy, through Cliffe. If it is true as the Bible says that humanity is the pinnacle of God's creation, then it stands to reason that God would prefer in most cases to use this sharpest knife in his drawer to communicate with us and "appear" to us.
3) King Herod took a similar attitude as this guy when he had a real life audience with Jesus. He wanted to be dazzled by signs and miracles, he wanted to see a Vegas magic show and spectacle. But he had no interest in the substance of what Jesus was about.
What did he get from Jesus? Complete silence. A few years on, he was eaten alive by worms.
For anyone like this kid, where is your heart? Do you want God to show himself to you in a way that makes him just so much more matter and energy for you to manipulate to your own ends, thereby making you the real god?
Or do you really want to know him?
Man oh man. This preacher knows his stuff
Ill just stick to proclaiming... Christ is King
This is just so good. Praise Jesus
You see? This is why I'd make a bad preacher. The moment i heard any of these elitist condescending kids ask their ridiculous questions, with such tone of superiority, Id immediately just walk away.
Id probably shout out, "You're done. NEXT!"
I dont know where Cliff gets his patience from. He has inhuman tolerance.
He gets it from the Holy Spirit. The kid with the white with red jersey sleeves is..."insert unchristian insult here"... lemme get this straight... you don't want to put your faith in Christ because you've never done any work to find out who He is? Like you said... NEXT!
Oh you do know exactly where he gets it from.
That’s why He calls some to pastor some to teach some to do other things aside from what Cliffe is doing.
@@S3cr3tsquirral I think He calls me to sin, so others have an example of what NOT to do. 😟
Just to be clear: I know God isnt calling on me to sin. Lol
Wow and these are our future leaders
No this video is old. They are current leaders. This shows the importance of child evangelism. Time moves quickly
Thank you cliffe
2 minutes ago is quite crazy, praise the Lord 🎉❤😊
This pastor is the best!! Thank God for him in Jesus's name.❤
The most spoken about Man that ever walked this earth. . . He must be feeling good about himself right now. . . super popular .
Amen. Jesus was not a lunatic who would say that.
God bless you
This man is a prophet and was sent by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The more I watch these types of videos, the more I’m convinced that ego and pride are the biggest issues facing our era. Technology, advancement, and the internet have wiped out any humility we used to have, which made space for things like faith. Our notion and standard for “evidence” has shifted to an almost impossible level of satisfaction.
"When you experience evil it makes you want to be a better person" actually a lot of people who experience evil choose to be evil themselves
5:13 minor correction here: we have ZERO manuscripts from the first century.
The fact that Jesus is a living testament of God
Cliff has alot of patience with those stubborn kids
I'm a lunatic for jesus ❤❤❤love jesus like crazy stocker love
Yes, God will raise EVERY HUMAN BEING That Lived; Some To Eternal Life, Some To The Lake Of Fire. Rev. 20:14-15.
One of the best videos
I would be careful to say if someone were to die and raise from the grave is someone I would listen closely to. The evil one will mimic the resurrection. The death and resurrection are a pinnacle point in Christ and our faith in him, but it is his way of life that is evident and shows the truth behind the resurrection. Be careful on stating listening closely to someone who resurrects from the dead. Book of Revelation reference.
Precisely what I thought as well. I love this channel, and we all sometimes word things incorrectly, but important to point this out.
I think what he says is perfectly understandable. Listening closely doesn’t automatically equate to believing in what is being said. Rather paying very close attention to what is being said in its entirety. I think Cliffe would have the sense to compare what a person coming back from the dead would say against what Jesus says.
@@PepasGarageexactly, keep demand for more evidence until its more reliable and check for 3rd party information
@@yesayamichaelchandra648 precisely. And because we have already established that Jesus is 100% who He says He is, I personally think that even if a person came back from the dead and claimed to be a savior I still wouldn’t believe it. Call me stubborn🥶🤷🏻♂️. But Jesus has firmly placed Himself in my Heart as #1.
In this scenario, listening to the risen one would be apropos to finding out if they represented God, were God, or were of the enemy. If we follow Jesus Christ, having accepted him as our Lord, we can trust that no matter whom we meet and what we hear we will continue to follow Jesus Christ to heaven.
You live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me,” declares the LORD.
- Jeremiah 9:6
Evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
-2 Timothy 3:13
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.
- Colossians 2:8
Where does this knowledge came from?..where certainly I conclude that this knowledge came and a gift from Our God...Jesus..
Love it ❤
An answer that I believe in and has at least clicked with me the most was given to me by my dad and it comes from the book and chapter of 2 Thessalonians 2:9 when it speaks of false miracles or miracles that don’t come from god so wouldn’t it make since for the true miracles to stop to be able to differentiate between the godly and ungodly
You can see how difficult it was for Jesus back in the day, even now after knowing him, we’re still ignorant, I can’t imagine how hard it was back then.
Same As Today.
...There Is Nothing New Under The Sun.
Ecc. 1:9.
Love you guys so much ❤ really wanna meet you cliff and your son but you live too far away
29:11 struggle and lack of knowledge gives oppurtunity for growth, relationship, and connection. Seeing isn't believing, it's knowing.
Doesn’t matter if he never existed….i wouldn’t lose any sleep over it!!
That poor girl hasn’t learned to think yet. Cliff is very kind when trying to explain basic reality to people like this.
I busted out laughing when cliff said hanky panky 😂
For the person who questions why God doesn’t just appear right then and there so they can believe, and when told to seek the truth by reading the Bible, they clearly state they won’t this shows a lack of interest in seeking either truth or knowledge, even for their own understanding or to argue their point better. The laziness reaches astonishing levels of disinterest. It seems like they simply don’t care at all.
Disinformation and ignorance and I include myself in this for many topics blind us completely and make us unwilling to listen to or seek the truth. The best way to resolve doubts is by searching for answers yourself. As Clief says, "Don’t believe me, go find the answers and investigate yourself." And yet, people still don’t do it, which is quite ironic.
We have time for everything, but people just don’t feel like it - that’s the truth. Until they reach a point in life where they need Him. Something life has shown me is that, at some moment, everyone will seek God, and He will answer them.
Amen
Yabadabadoo
Cliffe: are you searching for truth?
Student: yes
Cliffe: then read the new testament
Student: No
He wasn't really seeking the truth
And thank God
This is one of the times i could disagree with Cliffe i understood him rightly.
The Bible clearly mentions in Ephesians 3:20-21 The Message (MSG)
God can do anything, you know-far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!
I like Cliffe but he's a human too and the understanding of God is something we learn everday
What is hard to listen to is people who have the arrogance to judge God and Jesus Christ and the obviously haven’t studied Jesus teachings and when debating Cliff that is exposed; then they become disingenuous and dishonest during the discussion. They really don’t know what they don’t know.
About the last lady... Even if there were no heaven, I'd still be a Christian. A life in God provides His unexplainable joy, no matter what difficulties we are going through and that this life has a purpose. We are not just meat machines running randomly around.
I think that the last girl who spoke was referring to the idea that Lucifer is referred to as the Dawn bringer and that when you have sinned and the negative implications that come with that sin bring understanding. It “dawns” on you that that was wrong and why not to do it. But I agree that it is far better to stay on the straight and narrow rather than to have to experience that turmoil of having to learn after sin.
❤
In other words, about Jesus
In its simplest form
Jesus
Talked the Talk
Then
Walked the Walk
Jesus is Lord
Amen!
Pray for our muslim cousins. They are so close yet so far. Pray that the one true God reveals himself to them.
I will think for you
Believe what you want your destination is your choice
The irony of that young woman going on about Cliffe being so worried about the afterlife instead of just living now. She’s so passionately worried about what Cliffe is supposedly worrying about 😅🤦🏻♂
It's because she was like 19. At that age many don't really think they can die.
@@georgewagner7787 I meant she was doing pretty much what she was accusing Cliffe of doing 🙂
37:27. Shes right. Thats the whole point. Jesus is King
The Sermon on the Mount is a footnote to the Upanishads
Amazing video ❤, it’d be awesome if Cliffe could come back to the UofA along with Stuart. I’d think there’d be some good conversations to be heard and questions to be asked 👍
Tell me, is this the university of arkansas or u of arizona?!
@@merveilleuxdushimeshema6640 it’s the UofA
You could hear it in her voice. The thought that hell could be real terrifies her. However, she deludes herself by denying the existence of it and God.
35:14 i got a date with death 😂. peak level humour
1:19 im pretty sure god could easily turn a square into a circle if he wanted to. satan tried to temp jesus to turn rocks into bread because he knew he could do it, and before that, Jesus’s first miracle was turning water into wine.
Right, but Cliffe said God can’t make a square circle, not turn a square into a circle. Of course God could bend a square until it becomes a circle, but something that is a square and a circle at the same time is a logical impossibility.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I ❤ Cliffe and his sons 19:03 work but i can only watch these in little bits ...people get me crazy😅
Cliffe i am a born again Christian i fell off my path and just recently found my way back (chosen to actually put effort to be obedient to his word ) i want you to direct me to a specific bible And i will go and get it and i will read it front to back i appreciate your videos your awesome much love im serious about the bible aha please if you see this just send me a link or anything
Actually there’s a very good book on this very subject written by Gail Riplinger. It’s called, New Age Bible Versions. But she’s on Utube too and you can watch her there.
No man on earth, other than Jesus, follows the letter of the law.
I'm always wondering about what happened to those Christians who fought and killed each other? I mean I'm not talking about small personal sins but big ones with other Christians. What happened to Joan of Arc who believed she obeyed God's command against England. Did she end up in heaven or hell? What about the US Civil War? Christians vs Christians, killing each other. I'm sure both believed Jesus Christ and accepted him as their savior. Who went to heaven or hell? And so many other conflicts with Christians vs Christians or Christians vs others but did horrible things in the name of the God? While they sincerely believed in God and accepted Jesus as their savior.
God looks at their heart. Did they genuinely fight for a righteous cause, or was there spiritual deception to lead believers into a cause that was unbiblical. Either way they are responsible for their choices. God allowed Rahab to lie to the authorities in Jericho about the two Israeli spies in order to usher Israel into their promised land. If a lesser sin like lying to the Nazis that you are hiding Jews leads to the safety of those people, God honors the morally higher outcome out of something that in any other context would be sin.
It is possible to take sinful actions that lead to death of you or others and still be in Christ when those actions were taken. If you made a regular habit of killing people just out of pure entertainment, that's not a heart that God honors. But if you were killing people for a certain cause that you didn't believe was wrong and it showed by benefiting the freedom of slaves or the freeing of people in concentration camps during the Holocaust, God would consider that just and righteous. I think of the Black American slave Nat Turner and the slave rebellion, he rose up to fight the evil White slave masters that were making his life and other African slaves a living hell. He was a preacher and he saw the signs and wonders in nature as provision from God to advance His Kingdom, including starting a rebellion after a solar eclipse in 1831. I believe for the safety and the welfare of the enslaved Black Americans on plantations who were under oppression, Nat Turner was called by God to help free those who God would have ultimately wanted freed. At the end of they day, it is the Lord who claims ultimate vengeance and He can use humanity as a tool to accomplish it.
For those who claim to be in Christ and supported the institution of slavery, God will judge accordingly. There were many Christians with spiritual blindspots like believing elements of racism or sexism or discrimination of any kind is okay, and God still forgave them if they came to genuinely understand how wrong it is, whether in this life or in front of the Throne of Judgement after they died.
@@coltonstevens4339
So the Christians of the Confederate who fought and died during the Civil War went hell?
Is anyone going to acknowledge the fact that when Cliffe asked "Have you ever brought the whip down on the back of a black slave?" the guys answer was "No not recently" 25:43
