Funny, I was raised an atheist, became a spiritualist, and then finally got saved by Jesus without ever having set foot in a true Church, I had been in a Kingdom hall once as a child, and a Catholic church twice as a child, but when I asked God for a true sign, He literally led me to a sign which said Repent to Jesus; then I realized the truth was stranger than fiction, and when I accepted Him, my whole mind set changed, you cannot say I was taught or indoctrinated or even coerced into my decision, 21 years later and I still know Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
Wow you think you were lead to a sign which said Repent... so you became a Christian. If you saw a sign saying Ramadan would you have become a Muslim. It's fuzzy thinking like this where people ask for a sign in a predominantly Christian country and they drive past a church and see a sign. Ridiculous
@@infra_r3d133 - And what if he is not? Hebrews commands us not to forsake the assembling together as some had grown accustomed to doing. This passage mentions nothing of church as we know it today. The New Testament word for church is ( the ekklesia ) or " Called Out Ones ". They met in homes, broke bread together, discipled men, women & children there in the Highways, Byways, and Back-Alleyways of this world that God still so loves! Recorded for all to see in the book of Acts. There is ((0)) buildings built called churches in the word of God. Then we were never commanded in scripture to plant them either. Our command was and still is this: " make disciples of all nations " Christ will then take those disciples made and form His local congregations making still more disciples to impact the world for the kingdom of God. Matthew 28:18-20, 2 Timothy 2:1-2, 1 Thessolonians 3:8, John 3:22, Acts 1:8, John 15:8.
When my father was on his death bed, he had not spoken in weeks. I was tired--alone in the room with him. I laid across my couch i slept on in the hospital and cried out loud, "Nobody cares." My daddy clearly said, "i do." I felt God was speaking to me through my daddy.
My parents taught me to be an atheist, so I was indeed an atheist for most of my life. Fortunately God is merciful and reached out to me despite my faithlessness. I never could have imagined that someday I'd realize Christ is real and would follow Him but now here I am! God is so good.
Yeah ? Where you in crisis when you decided Christianity was a good thing to believe? Many Muslims have this same experience but become Muslims Wonder why ?
To you reading this Jesus can help with whatever problems, hardships, and issues you have. Believe in him and what he has done on the cross for your salvation. You can not save yourself he came to save us. Turn from your sins, repent, which is changing your life to follow the way of God and not your way, your way will lead you into a pit of despair I know it, my way lead me in a pit to hell but Jesus rescued me and he can rescue you. He can grant a peace and joy unfelt, and be your closest friend always there, This is the gospel. Jesus Christ, son of God, died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. After he went to his tweleve disciples and many others before ascending into heaven eternally triumphant over all his enemies and making it so that there is now no condemnation for sin to all those who believe in him, but only everlasting joy. John 3:16
Whether its old books, letters from 18 year old military men in WW1, public debates, even trading barbs and insults - it was far classier and vastly more intelligent. Robert Louis Stevenson’s young-adult books are complex literature for most people today. We have been systematically dumbed down by culture, media, image, schools, and probably diet and pharmaceuticals as well.
Every person I've quizzed on what they hear when the Holy Spirit talks to them has said that they hear God in their thought voice. The difference between the personal thought voice and God's voice in our own thought voice is the guidance it provides in a calm, intelligent, and orderly fashion.
yes, most times He speaks in a still calm voice, and sometimes God does speak audible. you just have to learn how to discern His voice. john 10 27 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me those who know me hear my voice
@rkol2729 I have had both only audible twice the other a few times but I've only had both and then of course being led by the Holy Spirit through the scriptures.
me too. 😁 He also talks a lot through dreams as well. when He talks, He normally doesn't say much, but what He does say is very impacting and insightful, and one can glean from it for years. this is what He said about the Holy Spirit one day and about the validity of speaking in tounges," *Do not whales cry out for their young? can I not cry out for my people."* when i looked it up, i found out that some whales can emit low frequency sounds can travel more than 10,000 miles. Humans can hear only part of the whales' sounds. i once heard an oceanographer question as to why whales 🐋 make certain sounds, and when i heard that they were calling out to their missing young, it was amazing 😁. what a Mighty God we serve!
what did He say? i would love to hear it. 😁. i have a few more, but some of them i can't repeat because they were regarding some people and circumstances that i was going through, and it may not really sense without context and explanation. but i do have at least one more that i can share if you want.
I was raised as an atheist/agnostic. Yet, even at young age i wanted to go to Holy School(sunday school like thing in Finland), started to believe when i was a teenager. Did lost my faith for a while when i became an adult, but God pulled me back and here i stand...i can do no other. God bless!
@@kap849 I am a Catholic, I am a younger person, and I have felt that hostility towards Catholicism and Christianity as a whole has been persecuted against. in my faith it seems that I catch alot of flack from other Christians, saying im not, a Christian, I love Christ with all my heart and I hope that we can all see the bigger picture of Christ.

@@mnmnrtHow is he condescending, exactly? He always acknowledges the brilliance of people's minds and thinking, and that if, say for example they found Jesus' body, he would renounce his faith in Christ because obviously it would mean Christianity is false. So, again, how is he condescending? P.S. Please also point out how he's smug, because that word also seems to have been used erroneously. Don't worry about clarifying why you used the word prick though because that's clear you're just insulting him.
Cliffe I just want to know you are an inspirational model in my life. As a person that is on his journey with Christ and trying to get better, I genuinely look up to you. Thank you for your videos.
Cliffe is spot on about feelings. Many are unaware that we can make an idol out of feelings. We do this when we end up loving the good feelings God gives us. This leads to loving God for our sake. Rather, we need to love God for who God is, which leads us to love God rightly--for His sake. I might add also that sometimes it feels good to do something bad. Yes, be leery of feelings.
Jesus provides us with an example in the Parable of the Sower. "The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away." (Mt 13:20-21). Feelings are like a baby's bottle--we rely on it for a while, but the time must come when we move on to the solid food of the cross. When our faith and love of Jesus are mature, then we will forsake feelings and endure the cross for His sake. Only then will He know, and we know, that we love him rightly. @@Desiree594

It feels like a historical record to listen in to religious talks like these from the 90s, the topics of contention can be so different as to today. The 90s in particular have always fascinated me, and it's hilarious to see Cliffe uses the same analogies in today's talks as he did 30+ years ago lol.
Great comment, I’m fascinated with the 90’s as well. But the thing that interests me the most about these videos from cliffe is the difference in manner from the 90’s and now.
Kinda just proves how consistent he is. Someone once asked you say the same things over and over again. He responded “well yea the truth never changes”
It’s amazing how nothing has changed, I still hear the same questions and the same kind of indirect mockery for believing in Christ. God bless Cliffe for his ability to speak and reason which has also allowed me to grow In faith and give the correct answers to those who have questions.
@@jasonnoble7302 ok homie, I see you’ve been around here for a bit asking questions, so I’m gonna answer and then give another take. So Evil in general exist because we as humans have free will. Hunger and starvation? Most Americans live a pretty Kush life and have the ability to give both extra money and food, but we don’t. War and greed? Too profitable, money is god and I don’t like you for this specific reason so I’m gonna wipe you out, which is also pride thinking you’re better than this person. Regardless evil is perpetuated by man just as good is perpetuated by man, by keeping it around. Now why doesn’t God stop the evil? He’s all knowing and all powerful, with a snap of his fingers he could end it all right? Well God chooses not too out of love for us. Thought experiment: good guy kills bad guy. Good right? No, this is bad. Bad guy could have killed forty people but good guy bringing it upon himself to kill him is just as bad as the forty. Because both removed someone’s ability to grow closer to god within time. The correct answer would be to show the bad guy the error of his ways, allow him to repent and grow closer with God allowing him to follow Gods will for his life, And time is the reason god loves us. God created time so we as humans are redeemable, a single sin outside of time ie. Satan is unforgivable which is why that dude is currently in the situation he’s in. So that is why evil is allowed on earth so that we may choose love over evil and follow gods will for our life and be redeemed. Now my speculation part. You have said you’ve only received one good Answer from a Christian, why is that? Do you have some form of religious trauma? If that’s the case I would say don’t follow religion, follow Christ. Some sects of Christianity and Christian’s tend to forget about Christ and teach their own thing. Did you lose someone close to you? I am sorry if that is the case and I know the feeling, I would say read the story of job and know that god does feel your pain, John 11:35 “Jesus wept”. Do you think you have a better answer than God? That would be pride and Also read job for this and see the vastness of what God understands vs what we as a human are able to understand. Regardless all of that is speculation and I could have missed why entirely. But I will implore you to give God a chance. Read the Bible, and go meet other followers in person. Also watch more UA-cam videos on why to believe. God does love you, but he’s not going to force you to accept that love because love isn’t forceful. Also start praying simple as “ God I don’t believe in you but I’m willing to humble myself to believe in you”. All of this is forming your own personal relationship with God. Two things I know god brings to every life is peace and purpose, god bless my friend.

God bless you brother ...Amazing you are doing excellent gospel which is very needed for young people. God will strengthen you with all more and more...🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You dont need a college campus, i witness at a local flea market, "today is the day of salvation"/"how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news"
why don't you look for an answer yourself?@@mnmnrt Every human beeing that offer something to this world from mathematics to every thing you can think of look for the answer by himself not waited to be provided to him!
@mnmnrt god made satan to give humans a choice, would you feel loved if you made a robot to worship you or would you rather have a son or daughter embrace and reconcile with you willingly? Think about that from gods perspective. This free will to choose a life with or without god obviously affects other people negatively thus is one of the biggest problems with sin, the things in this world that make you suffer will make you stronger in him, the pain will bring reward if you stand tall in his word, live and breathe in it. Because god loves the humans in this world, he sacrificed jesus to die a painful death on a wooden cross with nails in his head and his arms pegged to the beam spilling out his blood for all of us to be forgiven for our sins, it is in him that we find salvation, remember this. Read his word, it is god breathed (Please, always ask questions if you need clarity)
@@mnmnrtwhy does God let people that reject Him live? And live a good/great life instead of just killing them and sending them to hell? Anyway we have free will to do good/evil and if God just stopped anything evil/bad, then we wouldn't really have free will. I tried with the explanation.
@@mnmnrtI do have a (possibly poorly worded answer) to this if you’re interested on the perspective, HOWEVER my background in religion is adventist it won’t relate to a lot of mainstream christians. All I can really offer is my understanding of it
Young Cliffe is a beast. I would like to go to his church.the fact that he does this after his sermons and comes to colleges is amazing. He has an aggressiveness, but it seems he has passion that he cares about people and wants people to have the opportunity to decide for themselves about God with facts. I really appreciate that.
A difficult question is a good question when it is asked to truly find the solution that appeases the sincere need for the answer, rather than to display a difficulty as though it is the only answer.
Wow!!! I’m impressed on your videos regarding your on point response to questions and your accuracy of your responses. God bless you and your son in your mission of spreading the WORD of GOD 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
What these video demonstrate is that so many young people have such deep seeded, pre-conceived, misinformed or confusing ideas about "Christianity" as an oppressive or dogmatic religion of unrealistic rules without knowing the life of Christ or love of God that what they think or feel is true completely clouds their perceptions of what is the truth.
A river of fire was flowing, coming out from His presence. Thousands upon thousands attended Him, and myriads upon myriads stood before Him. The court was convened, and the books were opened.
NowaboMusic Are you laughing at him and the alleged silliness? If not, is it really silly? Or merely just non laughable silliness, an equivocation that degrades the quality of the silliness.
very embarrassing 90s behavior. i remember when kids acted like this, i was friends with losers like that. i was reminded of this by another person doing the exact same thing in another one of cliffe's videos. a very seth rogan looking fella with glasses mocking his stance in the exact same way
@@mnmnrtI hope you read this... God created satan to create choice for humans to choose a life with god or a life seperate from god because being a robot with no free will to choose wether or not to love him is not really love, he wants a relationship with you that goes both ways, choosing, sacrifice... sacrifice is love Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross, spilled his blood to forgive us for our sins, we can sacrifice our sinful ways. come and repent, come to god with these sins and give them to him, ask for forgiveness and drive yourself and stay in his word to be a better humbler human, remember you are but a tiny inconcievably small and weak, imperfect creature that is shortlived under the sun. but god still sees himself in you and loves you enough to pull you up out of the earthly muck, he can make you eternal, we can be family, his family. jesus is the truth the way and the life, choose him, praise god.
For the lady who said if your parents bring you up as Catholic you will be. a catholic and if your parents are atheist you will be atheist !!! My dad was a catholic ( who has turned his back on faith ) my mum was a Methodist .What did that make me .? For forty years I was an atheist and for the last twenty years a CHRISTIAN
I love listening to these public discussions at universities, but man, it seems like the student climate has changed. I'm sure someone has already made this observation/comment, but it is wild to me listening in on this talk from the 90s (?)- students attentively listening, asking insightful and thoughtful questions, no one protesting or trying to get him to go to a "free speech zone" or calling campus security because they are offended. When I look around at the students, they really are listening and engaged with what he's saying. Something has radically shifted in our universities. If anyone has seen any of Doug Wilson's talks on various campuses, it is nuts how the students react to him.
Cliffe youve helped me come to Jesus. I was driving to work when i had my mid life moment. "What the fuck is this all about? Why do i matter?" About a few days later, your channel popped up and i watched out of interest. Now im reading the gospels and man it just makes sense.
Thank you for another brilliant video, You are helping me to speak properly and to treat others with much respect, In JESUS name I thank you! Keep these brilliant videos coming! GOD bless you!
"If you were born X, that's why you believe Y." Such a failed argument. If that were true, everyone in the entire world would believe the same thing, because we all started with common ancestry. Unsurprisingly, the opposite is true. Children rebel against what their parents teach them all the time. People get tired of living in one country/culture, so they move to another, bringing along bits of where they came from and forming completely new cultures. One could just as easily ask anyone who makes that argument, "Okay, so why should I believe you since that's how you were brought up?" Of course, the person making that argument will always claim an exemption for him or her self. They of course see themselves as objective and able to see the truth, unlike all the other people who do not agree with them.
Sometimes a general argument is taken too far. Many people in the world are simply sheep. They follow along what others say without thinking for themselves. Some people - like Cliffe - try, by teaching, to get people to think about their lives. I think what you are saying is exactly the point he is making. Question your assumnptions.
@@mnmnrt Not true. He doesn’t hold a gun to their telling them they must believe what he speaks. He simply challenges their thoughts to a new observation and belief. Hell, that is what America does daily, but for evil, when they push their LGBTQ agenda on children and the general population.
My parents, when they were living taught me there is a Creator that made this earth, when I heard that I read it for myself in the bible, Genesis 1 and 2. So I believe in a creator and he is Jesus Christ.
I've always loved Cliffe's videos! I'm still young and learning, and I really do want to follow Christ, the best I can. Of course, I screw up, like everyone else. But, I feel the conviction and the yearning to detatch from sin. Cliffe helps a lot in my understanding of what Jesus Christ taught, and I'm always excited to watch anything he uploads! Many rewards await Cliffe (and his son) in the Kingdom of God!
cliffe was so unconfortable. what are you talking about? george is the most lukewarm christian i've ever witnessed in my life. and he doesnt let his guests talk
@@black-cross I don't know George, but he consistently calls out his own faults publicly and holds himself accountable, from what he shows. Sounds like you just have a strong opinion about him. "Most lukewarm" is crazy lol.
My parents brought me up as a Roman catholic until I repented wholeheartedly for my own personal sins and now I am a born again christain. Glory to God.
"I have not come to Columbia as a superior moral specimen telling inferior moral specimen how they too can get their act together rather I have come to Columbia as a beggar, who has found where living bread is in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and I've come to tell fellow beggars where they too can find bread."
I am 56. I have heard the audible voice of God several times over the years. The first time I was 32. However, even though it has been several times it has still been very rare. There has been many times I wanted to hear a clear audible answer desperately but have not. So it is not like having a special line to God or anything. I can say I’ve never got anything from Him that contradicts the Bible. Also, as another indicated, it is usually something very profound that leaves you meditating on it for years. I have also had dreams and visions which also leave a tremendous impact for years. God can speak in many ways. I have had different seasons but I think the most common way for me has been through a man of God. I sincerely pray and ask something specific and then it is quickly answered through a pastor. Just be very earnest, sincere, honest with yourself and with God when you pray. If you are a born again believer in Jesus Christ you will have access to this relationship with the Father. He will hear and respond to your prayers. What that looks like could be different at different times but I believe you will know when you just got your answer rather it is audible or not.
This was beautiful, the questions were amazing the answers were very informative. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. God really cares! no confusion no deception. Thank you my lord!

Interesting how this channel has been posting lots of content since like 2009 yet it remained a very small channel only with 15k subs in 2016 when I found it and maybe some 50k subs in 2020 but then it began to grow very fast. Some channels skyrocket in about a year and become very big but then other channels that are actually very interesting with unique content such as this channel, remain very small for a very long time.

Her statement is so wrong. Both of my parents are atheists and for 27 years of my life. I was in atheist. Now on my 28th year, I have now found God, and i'm now a christian. Not everything is the way people think. I learned to take what people say with a grain of salt. Because at the end of the day only God knows.

@@misslogical90 Sorry but I don't see nothingness behind everything. All you know about me is that I think your supernatural beliefs are ridiculous.

I Have Been Watching Pastor Cliffs College Videos for a while now it is A Wonder How for the most part These College Campuses and Students are a civil exchange between two different views Yes there are always some that like Asserting Their Own Definitions and Their own Views Loudly and Profanity seems to be their second language. I Have Seen Others Go to college campuses and All you hear is Profanity Name calling from The Students and even The Teachers . They don't want a civil Discussion They just want theirs to be the Only view Heard. They Seek to squash any Other that does Not Agree with Them. If Their Ideologies are Not Held to be Truth then you should be silent. OH I Pray that Ear's should be Opened To What Is Truth and Facts Of The Gospel! Thank You Pastors Cliff and Stewart May. You be Blessed with Many more Years!
interesting how the lost always say "what about those in bora,bora or never heard of Jesus? - well thats not up to me and you, but up to God, the MOST important thing is YOU have heard of Jesus and are you rejecting him?
yes exactly it doesn't really matter were thier born or came from cause all that matters is that the good news is being preach to them to those who never heard of him as Romans says how beautiful are the feet of messengers who proclaim the good news
@@mnmnrt I have nothing to do about it. You decide to deny a relationship with the creator of the universe and live a devoid life, that's your decision. God gave us all free will.
@@mnmnrtWhat can be done about your choice? The ultimate and dispositive decision regarding your choice is yet to be taken and will be made by the Most High and Almighty Eternal, but in the interim, a song comes to mind that is descriptive of you, sung and recorded by the Doobie Brothers, guess what it is!
That young woman from backfan just keeps changing the argument because cliff shows she's wrong in her argument and she's so angry in her voice. She just wants the fight she doesn't want to really understand or discuss something she just wants to show her anger.
@@sniperfosho And trust me, we've all been there myself included. I was bored into the Catholic faith and trust me. It wasn't correct thing to do, but my point is this so I've been searching since I was 8 years old. I've been searching for truth that long because I knew there was things wrong with where I was placed in and then I developed a lot of hatred and bitterness just like you mentioned not because of what I was born into but for other reasons so I first short term was even an atheist and I was a great angry one. But in true fashion, true miracle fashion God changed that it's still a process and he still reproofing me. Correcting me like a fire trial is still polishing me up or say I'm not completely cleansed justified. Even though my sins occurred by the cross, they're still character. Flaws in me that have to be improved not to be saved. I'm already saved, but because I love him. And they should be improved because he saved me. And we all have those same problems or frailties. But absolutely right. Just like you, I had the same anger or bitterness. Just like that woman so I understand but God has been changing so much in my life. I've been dying daily and letting him have my heart and his father's will is what my will is becoming.
@@sniperfosho By the way , I have a youtube channel that has poetry in the comments section that I write for everyone. It is free. It is my own work that I give willingly for anyone to enjoy share.

On the whole "why didnt God create us in heaven," question. I cant speak for God, but I personally think he would have created us there if he didnt have the foresight to know that we still had the potential to sin since he created us with free will. I think that ultimately we wouldve shared the same fate as Lucifer if he had created us there. Lucifer cannot be forgiven because his transgression happened in eternity, which encompasses everything from the past, present, and future. God knew we would eventually make a wrong move, and wanted to make sure we had a way we could eventually be forgiven. Which is why he created us in time, and not excluded from it, so we could be forgiven before we reached eternity and consequently meaning we hopefully wouldnt share the same fate as his once beloved fallen angel.
My parents tried to raise me atheist (and secluded us in the woods for three years) and yet I always knew God. I used to argue when He'd tell me to worship Jesus, because I figured 'why worship some man when I'd prefer to worship You, God' Turns out, Jesus IS God! Lol
@@jjevans1693 Lol Your pathetic attempts at bullying or whatever you're doing isn't going to work on me. Continue, I suppose, because it seems to be what makes you feel good about yourself
Everytime someone says they rely on themself, or they are the great moral arbiter, I think of the evil recorded in the Book of Judges, and its final verse. Judges 21:25 KJV In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Amen, Amen, And remember, it began in heaven, the war and heaven were Lucifer. The brightest of angels somehow developed jealousina's heart and said he wants to be like the most high. He thought he knew better than God. He could rule better than God and do better than God. Even though he was a created angel and not uncreated meaning he was not God. And so they began there and from one word off. Sad, isn't it, but that was the free world choice? Lucifer made when he became satan.
@@mnmnrt " there's nothing waiting for you after you die.

OR 2)If objectively true to reality, it logically requires an objective (Existing independent of or external to the mind; actual or real) foundation for your claims….do you have one?
@@mnmnrt Well, believe it or not, you're partially right? Because you don't understand scripture, but otherwise you're wrong. If you mean if you mean there's no God, there's no existence after death. Oh, you're definitely wrong. However, there's one part you're right about the littley the moment you die because, the dead know nothing. You're right, they're going to be asleep. Just dead in the ground. They're not going to know anything. They're gonna be in darkness temporarily, but they will see, they will open their eyes again. That's because when you're dead, you don't know time. If we did for a thousand years till christ comes, you wouldn't know it because you'd be dead. However, there's one part you're right about the literal moment you die, because the dead know nothing you're right, they're going to know, just dead in the ground, they're not going to know anything they're gonna be in darkness temporarily. But you see that's, because when you're dead, you don't know time, if we are dead for a 1000 years till Christ comes and you would not know it because you'd be dead. But you see Christ is coming soon. But whether you died 10 years ago a 1000 years ago or yesterday. Time stands still or free to the dead though. That it's the same amount of time. They're in a sense of sleep. Which is also shown in the Scriptures. So when Jesus Christ does come soon in the clouds and they're raised from the dead, the first thing they'll see when they open their eyes is Christ in the clouds and that's a beautiful thing. Now I know you don't understand that. Or you once did and chose to know not, or not believe or know it to be true. It's true just the same and Heaven does exist, but so doesn't people's judgment for the Lake of fire which is not burning forever? There is no eternal burning hell, but a Lake of fire. One day will exist for those who choose to be lost. That's free, will that is what is true Love and free will.
1 Peter 4: 6 For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit. I imagine he witnessed to all those who came before he was born. Anything including the impossible IS possible through God.
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne. And there were open books, and one of them was the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds, as recorded in the books.
We were created with free will because He wanted us to choose to love Him. Love isn't a feeling, it's and action and therefore in order to choose to love Hod we have to have free will
Before we take a ship to sea to protect our precious lives we must ensure that it’s safe. And in the game of life we must find and jettison all unwanted cargo. Spend much time finding jealousy hiding in the holds of your life holding on tight. And without mercy throw it overboard. Only those who keep God’s commandment to not covet shall have this victory. Exodus 20:17 KJV Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
BJ skinner is right, also scientists turn to religion once their models can no longer be explained rationally. Isaac newton was a lifelong agnostic until his model of gravity for planets didnt work.
I wish some would understand. There is several meanings from a signal Hebrew word. It depends on context. So Love is used when it's inclusive. But the word Charity is used when it's external..

Suffering and trial and tribulation are three different personal experiences. Suffering leave u wounded and draw away from God. Trial come in succession to build our character with Christ tribulations strength the commitment of our faith in God and believe in Jesus Christ
Just because some people do not believe in God or do not agree with his nature (as they understand it) it does not mean God does not exist. They can like him or not like him, but if God is real, he is real. He is not going to disappear because people say: I do not want to follow God. If he is real, we ALL have to answer him, like it or not. Some people talk as they have a choice. If God is real, you will answer to him. Who cares what do we think. WAKE UP WORLD!
I know an atheist whos whole upbringing was without any religion. Not until he was 45 he told me he felt the holy spirit fill him. It was an acknowledgement of God, he is now a baptised Christian. I was Christianed as an infant but i was never taken to church, we didnt even have a bible in the house. I knew the 'story' of jesus but it didnt effect me. I was agnostic to it all and didnt have a care. But from no personal effort to search but just internalised thinking about if god is real, is jesus God. So a prayed to Jesus to give me some sign Hes real. I had an overwhelming sense of peace and warmth fill my entire body, i just knew it was Jesus sending me the holy spirit. I had lost my mother at the beginning of the year several month earlier and after feeling the holy spirit I just was thinking of my mum and hoping shes with Jesus literally within 2 minutes of that thought I had an invitation to go to a church. Ive never had anything to do with any churches in my life. It felt like a sign that Jesus was answering my prayers and helping me to get to know him. It pushed me to get a bible and read his word, and I wanted and felt like I needed to go to church. I had an insatiable need to know jesus more and more. Infact I believe this world pushes us NOT to believe in Jesus. Its Jesus himself that brings us to him.

“Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.” Galations 3:23-25
Funny, I was raised an atheist, became a spiritualist, and then finally got saved by Jesus without ever having set foot in a true Church, I had been in a Kingdom hall once as a child, and a Catholic church twice as a child, but when I asked God for a true sign, He literally led me to a sign which said Repent to Jesus; then I realized the truth was stranger than fiction, and when I accepted Him, my whole mind set changed, you cannot say I was taught or indoctrinated or even coerced into my decision, 21 years later and I still know Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
Are you going to church now?
PTL
Wow you think you were lead to a sign which said Repent... so you became a Christian. If you saw a sign saying Ramadan would you have become a Muslim. It's fuzzy thinking like this where people ask for a sign in a predominantly Christian country and they drive past a church and see a sign. Ridiculous
Dude, you’re super dumb then. Best of luck, little buddy.
@@infra_r3d133 - And what if he is not? Hebrews commands us not to forsake the assembling together as some had grown accustomed to doing. This passage mentions nothing of church as we know it today. The New Testament word for church is ( the ekklesia ) or " Called Out Ones ". They met in homes, broke bread together, discipled men, women & children there in the Highways, Byways, and Back-Alleyways of this world that God still so loves! Recorded for all to see in the book of Acts. There is ((0)) buildings built called churches in the word of God. Then we were never commanded in scripture to plant them either. Our command was and still is this: " make disciples of all nations " Christ will then take those disciples made and form His local congregations making still more disciples to impact the world for the kingdom of God. Matthew 28:18-20, 2 Timothy 2:1-2, 1 Thessolonians 3:8, John 3:22, Acts 1:8, John 15:8.
When my father was on his death bed, he had not spoken in weeks. I was tired--alone in the room with him. I laid across my couch i slept on in the hospital and cried out loud, "Nobody cares." My daddy clearly said, "i do." I felt God was speaking to me through my daddy.
My parents taught me to be an atheist, so I was indeed an atheist for most of my life. Fortunately God is merciful and reached out to me despite my faithlessness. I never could have imagined that someday I'd realize Christ is real and would follow Him but now here I am! God is so good.
Yeah ?
Where you in crisis when you decided Christianity was a good thing to believe?

Every person I've quizzed on what they hear when the Holy Spirit talks to them has said that they hear God in their thought voice. The difference between the personal thought voice and God's voice in our own thought voice is the guidance it provides in a calm, intelligent, and orderly fashion.
Voice of Holy Spirit is a pattern of sound word to true believers mind and heart
yes, most times He speaks in a still calm voice, and sometimes God does speak audible. you just have to learn how to discern His voice.

I have had both only audible twice the other a few times but I've only had both and then of course being led by the Holy Spirit through the scriptures.
me too. 😁 He also talks a lot through dreams as well. when He talks, He normally doesn't say much, but what He does say is very impacting and insightful, and one can glean from it for years.
this is what He said about the Holy Spirit one day and about the validity of speaking in tounges," *Do not whales cry out for their young? can I not cry out for my people."*
when i looked it up, i found out that
some whales can emit low frequency sounds can travel more than 10,000 miles.
Humans can hear only part of the whales' sounds.
i once heard an oceanographer question as to why whales 🐋 make certain sounds, and when i heard that they were calling out to their missing young, it was amazing 😁.
what a Mighty God we serve!
what did He say? i would love to hear it. 😁. i have a few more, but some of them i can't repeat because they were regarding some people and circumstances that i was going through, and it may not really sense without context and explanation.
but i do have at least one more that i can share if you want.
I was raised as an atheist/agnostic. Yet, even at young age i wanted to go to Holy School(sunday school like thing in Finland), started to believe when i was a teenager. Did lost my faith for a while when i became an adult, but God pulled me back and here i stand...i can do no other. God bless!

wow he's so inspirational when he's being a smug condescending prick for no reason
@@mnmnrtHow is he condescending, exactly?
He always acknowledges the brilliance of people's minds and thinking, and that if, say for example they found Jesus' body, he would renounce his faith in Christ because obviously it would mean Christianity is false.
So, again, how is he condescending?
P.S. Please also point out how he's smug, because that word also seems to have been used erroneously.
Don't worry about clarifying why you used the word prick though because that's clear you're just insulting him.

Cliffe I just want to know you are an inspirational model in my life. As a person that is on his journey with Christ and trying to get better, I genuinely look up to you. Thank you for your videos.
Me too. Literally in the same position
Cliffe is spot on about feelings. Many are unaware that we can make an idol out of feelings. We do this when we end up loving the good feelings God gives us. This leads to loving God for our sake. Rather, we need to love God for who God is, which leads us to love God rightly--for His sake. I might add also that sometimes it feels good to do something bad. Yes, be leery of feelings.
😮 man you’re right. I never thought of this.
Jesus provides us with an example in the Parable of the Sower. "The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away." (Mt 13:20-21). Feelings are like a baby's bottle--we rely on it for a while, but the time must come when we move on to the solid food of the cross. When our faith and love of Jesus are mature, then we will forsake feelings and endure the cross for His sake. Only then will He know, and we know, that we love him rightly. @@Desiree594

It feels like a historical record to listen in to religious talks like these from the 90s, the topics of contention can be so different as to today. The 90s in particular have always fascinated me, and it's hilarious to see Cliffe uses the same analogies in today's talks as he did 30+ years ago lol.
Nothing new under the sun:)
The topics and claims are exactly the same as they’ve always been
Great comment, I’m fascinated with the 90’s as well. But the thing that interests me the most about these videos from cliffe is the difference in manner from the 90’s and now.
Kinda just proves how consistent he is. Someone once asked you say the same things over and over again. He responded “well yea the truth never changes”
The heart of man does not change. That's why life in Christ is always new !
It’s amazing how nothing has changed, I still hear the same questions and the same kind of indirect mockery for believing in Christ. God bless Cliffe for his ability to speak and reason which has also allowed me to grow In faith and give the correct answers to those who have questions.
How can God permit evil to exist if he can stop it right now?
@@jasonnoble7302 ok homie, I see you’ve been around here for a bit asking questions, so I’m gonna answer and then give another take. So Evil in general exist because we as humans have free will. Hunger and starvation? Most Americans live a pretty Kush life and have the ability to give both extra money and food, but we don’t. War and greed? Too profitable, money is god and I don’t like you for this specific reason so I’m gonna wipe you out, which is also pride thinking you’re better than this person. Regardless evil is perpetuated by man just as good is perpetuated by man, by keeping it around. Now why doesn’t God stop the evil? He’s all knowing and all powerful, with a snap of his fingers he could end it all right? Well God chooses not too out of love for us. Thought experiment: good guy kills bad guy. Good right? No, this is bad. Bad guy could have killed forty people but good guy bringing it upon himself to kill him is just as bad as the forty. Because both removed someone’s ability to grow closer to god within time. The correct answer would be to show the bad guy the error of his ways, allow him to repent and grow closer with God allowing him to follow Gods will for his life, And time is the reason god loves us. God created time so we as humans are redeemable, a single sin outside of time ie. Satan is unforgivable which is why that dude is currently in the situation he’s in. So that is why evil is allowed on earth so that we may choose love over evil and follow gods will for our life and be redeemed. Now my speculation part. You have said you’ve only received one good Answer from a Christian, why is that? Do you have some form of religious trauma? If that’s the case I would say don’t follow religion, follow Christ. Some sects of Christianity and Christian’s tend to forget about Christ and teach their own thing. Did you lose someone close to you? I am sorry if that is the case and I know the feeling, I would say read the story of job and know that god does feel your pain, John 11:35 “Jesus wept”. Do you think you have a better answer than God? That would be pride and Also read job for this and see the vastness of what God understands vs what we as a human are able to understand. Regardless all of that is speculation and I could have missed why entirely. But I will implore you to give God a chance. Read the Bible, and go meet other followers in person. Also watch more UA-cam videos on why to believe. God does love you, but he’s not going to force you to accept that love because love isn’t forceful. Also start praying simple as “ God I don’t believe in you but I’m willing to humble myself to believe in you”. All of this is forming your own personal relationship with God. Two things I know god brings to every life is peace and purpose, god bless my friend.

Hunger and starvation? Most Americans live a pretty Kush life and have the ability to give both extra money and food, but we don’t. War and greed? Too profitable, money is god and I don’t like you for this specific reason so I’m gonna wipe you out, which is also pride thinking you’re better than this person. Regardless evil is perpetuated by man just as good is perpetuated by man, by keeping it around. Now why doesn’t God stop the evil? He’s all knowing and all powerful, with a snap of his fingers he could end it all right? Well God chooses not too out of love for us. Thought experiment: good guy kills bad guy. Good right? No, this is bad. Bad guy could have killed forty people but good guy bringing it upon himself to kill him is just as bad as the forty. Because both removed someone’s ability to grow closer to god within time. The correct answer would be to show the bad guy the error of his ways, allow him to repent and grow closer with God allowing him to follow Gods will for his life, And time is the reason god loves us. God created time so we as humans are redeemable, a single sin outside of time ie. Satan is unforgivable which is why that dude is currently in the situation he’s in. So that is why evil is allowed on earth so that we may choose love over evil and follow gods will for our life and be redeemed. Now my speculation part. You have said you’ve only received one good Answer from a Christian, why is that? Do you have some form of religious trauma? If that’s the case I would say don’t follow religion, follow Christ. Some sects of Christianity and Christian’s tend to forget about Christ and teach their own thing. Did you lose someone close to you? I am sorry if that is the case and I know the feeling, I would say read the story of job and know that god does feel your pain, John 11:35 “Jesus wept”. Do you think you have a better answer than God? That would be pride and Also read job for this and see the vastness of what God understands vs what we as a human are able to understand. Regardless all of that is speculation and I could have missed why entirely. But I will implore you to give God a chance. Read the Bible, and go meet other followers in person. Also watch more UA-cam videos on why to believe. God does love you, but he’s not going to force you to accept that love because love isn’t forceful. Also start praying simple as “ God I don’t believe in you but I’m willing to humble myself to believe in you”. All of this is forming your own personal relationship with God. Two things I know god brings to every life is peace and purpose, god bless my friend.
Bc He would have to destroy all of us.@@jasonnoble7302
God bless you brother ...Amazing you are doing excellent gospel which is very needed for young people. God will strengthen you with all more and more...🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Come here guys, Cliffe has posted another classic video 🍾 🎉
I love how he always gives credence to all questions. There are no "dumb" questions.
Some day I'll be doing the same as cliff, I trust the lord. Even though we don't have such college campuses here in Colombia
You dont need a college campus, i witness at a local flea market, "today is the day of salvation"/"how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news"
I'm excited for you
God bless you and lead your way, Cliff is a man among men who I believe he loves people like we all should. Safe travels.
I just love the posture the Lord has given Cliff may God be glorified!!❤
Man I love these throwback videos because the people ask more thought provoking questions aside from "why does God let evil happen"
well why does he? no one has ever provided an answer to this that doesn't make god look like an abusive psycho.
why don't you look for an answer yourself?@@mnmnrt Every human beeing that offer something to this world from mathematics to every thing you can think of look for the answer by himself not waited to be provided to him!
@mnmnrt god made satan to give humans a choice, would you feel loved if you made a robot to worship you or would you rather have a son or daughter embrace and reconcile with you willingly?
Think about that from gods perspective.
This free will to choose a life with or without god obviously affects other people negatively thus is one of the biggest problems with sin, the things in this world that make you suffer will make you stronger in him, the pain will bring reward if you stand tall in his word, live and breathe in it.
Because god loves the humans in this world, he sacrificed jesus to die a painful death on a wooden cross with nails in his head and his arms pegged to the beam spilling out his blood for all of us to be forgiven for our sins, it is in him that we find salvation, remember this.
Read his word, it is god breathed
(Please, always ask questions if you need clarity)
@@mnmnrtwhy does God let people that reject Him live? And live a good/great life instead of just killing them and sending them to hell?
Anyway we have free will to do good/evil and if God just stopped anything evil/bad, then we wouldn't really have free will. I tried with the explanation.
@@mnmnrtI do have a (possibly poorly worded answer) to this if you’re interested on the perspective, HOWEVER my background in religion is adventist it won’t relate to a lot of mainstream christians. All I can really offer is my understanding of it
Young Cliffe is a beast. I would like to go to his church.the fact that he does this after his sermons and comes to colleges is amazing. He has an aggressiveness, but it seems he has passion that he cares about people and wants people to have the opportunity to decide for themselves about God with facts. I really appreciate that.
I have a question for cliffe.. what is his interpretation of the scripture when he says we are gods?
10:35 I love how she said "Me Either"
A difficult question is a good question when it is asked to truly find the solution that appeases the sincere need for the answer, rather than to display a difficulty as though it is the only answer.
God bless you, Cliffe.
Cliffs voice is so comforting even when he talks about difficult subjects 😌
Thanks so much for all you do Cliffe, I have learned so much from these debates.
The most powerful and convicting yet. 😢 Glory to God! \o/
Wow!!!
I’m impressed on your videos regarding your on point response to questions and your accuracy of your responses.
God bless you and your son in your mission of spreading the WORD of GOD 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
What Cliffe does, and now Stuart also, is so important!
What these video demonstrate is that so many young people have such deep seeded, pre-conceived, misinformed or confusing ideas about "Christianity" as an oppressive or dogmatic religion of unrealistic rules without knowing the life of Christ or love of God that what they think or feel is true completely clouds their perceptions of what is the truth.
May God bless you for always fightinig for God
A river of fire was flowing, coming out from His presence. Thousands upon thousands attended Him, and myriads upon myriads stood before Him. The court was convened, and the books were opened.
That woman on this post already lied, she said God isn't real. Rev. 21:8 ...ALL LIARS ...
Thank for clarity in your explanations, God bless you
26:20 lol that dude trying to mock Cliffe just making himself look silly.
Fr
He's a poor lost soul who knows no better.
whatever helps you cope
NowaboMusic Are you laughing at him and the alleged silliness? If not, is it really silly? Or merely just non laughable silliness, an equivocation that degrades the quality of the silliness.
very embarrassing 90s behavior. i remember when kids acted like this, i was friends with losers like that. i was reminded of this by another person doing the exact same thing in another one of cliffe's videos. a very seth rogan looking fella with glasses mocking his stance in the exact same way
GOD speaks Words directly to every soul. One must learn to distinguish between their own thoughts, satan, and GOD.

“The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”
why did god create a evil lying demon?
@@mnmnrtI hope you read this...
God created satan to create choice for humans to choose a life with god or a life seperate from god because being a robot with no free will to choose wether or not to love him is not really love, he wants a relationship with you that goes both ways, choosing, sacrifice... sacrifice is love
Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross, spilled his blood to forgive us for our sins, we can sacrifice our sinful ways. come and repent, come to god with these sins and give them to him, ask for forgiveness and drive yourself and stay in his word to be a better humbler human, remember you are but a tiny inconcievably small and weak, imperfect creature that is shortlived under the sun. but god still sees himself in you and loves you enough to pull you up out of the earthly muck, he can make you eternal, we can be family, his family. jesus is the truth the way and the life, choose him, praise god.

My dad was a catholic ( who has turned his back on faith ) my mum was a Methodist .What did that make me .? For forty years I was an atheist and for the last twenty years a CHRISTIAN
I love listening to these public discussions at universities, but man, it seems like the student climate has changed. I'm sure someone has already made this observation/comment, but it is wild to me listening in on this talk from the 90s (?)- students attentively listening, asking insightful and thoughtful questions, no one protesting or trying to get him to go to a "free speech zone" or calling campus security because they are offended. When I look around at the students, they really are listening and engaged with what he's saying. Something has radically shifted in our universities. If anyone has seen any of Doug Wilson's talks on various campuses, it is nuts how the students react to him.
22:42 This is powerful "In order for LOVE to be REAL, its must be FREE" (the whole video is amazing btw)
I so love listening to Cliffe. God gave him such a wonderful gift, and he is honoring it by spreading the word and saving souls.
Cliffe Knechtle is loveable and he has a winsome nature.
God bless him for doing this ministry.
May many be blessed by him.
Cliffe youve helped me come to Jesus. I was driving to work when i had my mid life moment. "What the fuck is this all about? Why do i matter?"
About a few days later, your channel popped up and i watched out of interest.
Now im reading the gospels and man it just makes sense.
How are you doing brother?
@user-vs7zx6vc4c so good man. It's amazing. Life is good
Thank you for another brilliant video, You are helping me to speak properly and to treat others with much respect, In JESUS name I thank you! Keep these brilliant videos coming!
GOD bless you!
"If you were born X, that's why you believe Y."
Such a failed argument. If that were true, everyone in the entire world would believe the same thing, because we all started with common ancestry. Unsurprisingly, the opposite is true. Children rebel against what their parents teach them all the time. People get tired of living in one country/culture, so they move to another, bringing along bits of where they came from and forming completely new cultures.
One could just as easily ask anyone who makes that argument, "Okay, so why should I believe you since that's how you were brought up?" Of course, the person making that argument will always claim an exemption for him or her self. They of course see themselves as objective and able to see the truth, unlike all the other people who do not agree with them.
Sometimes a general argument is taken too far. Many people in the world are simply sheep. They follow along what others say without thinking for themselves. Some people - like Cliffe - try, by teaching, to get people to think about their lives. I think what you are saying is exactly the point he is making. Question your assumnptions.
If you were born in North Korea would you be Christian?
@@motherphatburger2653you make a good point, but that is a rather extenuating circumstance to be in
@@patrickcorliss8878cliffe only wants you to think as long as come to the conclusions he approves of.
@@mnmnrt Not true. He doesn’t hold a gun to their telling them they must believe what he speaks. He simply challenges their thoughts to a new observation and belief. Hell, that is what America does daily, but for evil, when they push their LGBTQ agenda on children and the general population.
My parents, when they were living taught me there is a Creator that made this earth, when I heard that I read it for myself in the bible, Genesis 1 and 2. So I believe in a creator and he is Jesus Christ.
I love this channel 😻
Thank you sir for continue people teach and preach about god
Cliffe-thanks for the knowedgd
I've always loved Cliffe's videos! I'm still young and learning, and I really do want to follow Christ, the best I can. Of course, I screw up, like everyone else. But, I feel the conviction and the yearning to detatch from sin. Cliffe helps a lot in my understanding of what Jesus Christ taught, and I'm always excited to watch anything he uploads! Many rewards await Cliffe (and his son) in the Kingdom of God!
We need you on the George Janko show pt2😂
Correct, we need it. 😂

I’ll second this everyday until it happens haha

@@black-cross I don't know George, but he consistently calls out his own faults publicly and holds himself accountable, from what he shows. Sounds like you just have a strong opinion about him.
"Most lukewarm" is crazy lol.

"I have not come to Columbia as a superior moral specimen telling inferior moral specimen how they too can get their act together rather I have come to Columbia as a beggar, who has found where living bread is in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and I've come to tell fellow beggars where they too can find bread."
no, he definitely thinks he's better than everyone else.
I am 56. I have heard the audible voice of God several times over the years. The first time I was 32. However, even though it has been several times it has still been very rare. There has been many times I wanted to hear a clear audible answer desperately but have not. So it is not like having a special line to God or anything. I can say I’ve never got anything from Him that contradicts the Bible. Also, as another indicated, it is usually something very profound that leaves you meditating on it for years. I have also had dreams and visions which also leave a tremendous impact for years. God can speak in many ways. I have had different seasons but I think the most common way for me has been through a man of God. I sincerely pray and ask something specific and then it is quickly answered through a pastor. Just be very earnest, sincere, honest with yourself and with God when you pray. If you are a born again believer in Jesus Christ you will have access to this relationship with the Father. He will hear and respond to your prayers. What that looks like could be different at different times but I believe you will know when you just got your answer rather it is audible or not.
This was beautiful, the questions were amazing the answers were very informative.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
God really cares! no confusion no deception. Thank you my lord!

Congrats on 400.000 subs ❤
Interesting how this channel has been posting lots of content since like 2009 yet it remained a very small channel only with 15k subs in 2016 when I found it and maybe some 50k subs in 2020 but then it began to grow very fast.
Some channels skyrocket in about a year and become very big but then other channels that are actually very interesting with unique content such as this channel, remain very small for a very long time. I wonder how would YT explain this, what is with the algorithms.
It would be so awesome to see how many revisit Cliffe either after converting or years after contemplating the flaws in their philosophy.
Her statement is so wrong. Both of my parents are atheists and for 27 years of my life. I was in atheist. Now on my 28th year, I have now found God, and i'm now a christian. Not everything is the way people think.
I learned to take what people say with a grain of salt. Because at the end of the day only God knows.
You would have to prove God exists for your statement to be true.
@@jjevans1693Atheists and believers both look at the same evidence and come to different conclusions.
We see God as the hand behind everything, and you see nothingness as what's behind everything.
Only one of us is correct, though, and on our side we have the evidence AND detailed prophecies from thousands of years ago that came true EXACTLY as prophecied, all through history, and now - and when they run out, time's up.
You have the evidence AND your own assumption that you're correct.
@@misslogical90 Sorry but I don't see nothingness behind everything. All you know about me is that I think your supernatural beliefs are ridiculous. For you to make any other assumptions about me and present them as truth statements is dishonest. Why don't you work on supporting your claims instead of pretending to know what all atheist think. FAIL.
@@jjevans1693 I know that you think of yourself as superior and that you consider yourself to be an atheist - and atheists believe that God doesn't exist - thus, by default, that everything just happened to pop into existence one day (from what? An outside source? Nope. NOTHINGNESS lol).
Drop the arrogance and realize we're all looking at the same evidence and coming to two different conclusions:
Your conclusion is God doesn't exist.
Mine is He does.
We'll find out soon enough which one of us is correct. 😊
@@misslogical90 When you can prove that a state of nothingness ever existed then get back to me. Atheist don't believe in things that have yet to be proven. You're still pretending to know what other people think, in order to comfort some delusional conformation bias.
I Have Been Watching Pastor Cliffs College Videos for a while now it is A Wonder How for the most part These College Campuses and Students are a civil exchange between two different views Yes there are always some that like Asserting Their Own Definitions and Their own Views Loudly and Profanity seems to be their second language. I Have Seen Others Go to college campuses and All you hear is Profanity Name calling from The Students and even The Teachers . They don't want a civil Discussion They just want theirs to be the Only view Heard. They Seek to squash any Other that does Not Agree with Them. If Their Ideologies are Not Held to be Truth then you should be silent. OH I Pray that Ear's should be Opened To What Is Truth and Facts Of The Gospel! Thank You Pastors Cliff and Stewart May.

@@sniperfosho And trust me, we've all been there myself included. I was bored into the Catholic faith and trust me. It wasn't correct thing to do, but my point is this so I've been searching since I was 8 years old. I've been searching for truth that long because I knew there was things wrong with where I was placed in and then I developed a lot of hatred and bitterness just like you mentioned not because of what I was born into but for other reasons so I first short term was even an atheist and I was a great angry one.
But in true fashion, true miracle fashion God changed that it's still a process and he still reproofing me. Correcting me like a fire trial is still polishing me up or say I'm not completely cleansed justified. Even though my sins occurred by the cross, they're still character. Flaws in me that have to be improved not to be saved. I'm already saved, but because I love him. And they should be improved because he saved me. And we all have those same problems or frailties. But absolutely right. Just like you, I had the same anger or bitterness. Just like that woman so I understand but God has been changing so much in my life. I've been dying daily and letting him have my heart and his father's will is what my will is becoming.

My favorite is when he says “I do not know”…cause nobody does.
On the whole "why didnt God create us in heaven," question. I cant speak for God, but I personally think he would have created us there if he didnt have the foresight to know that we still had the potential to sin since he created us with free will. I think that ultimately we wouldve shared the same fate as Lucifer if he had created us there. Lucifer cannot be forgiven because his transgression happened in eternity, which encompasses everything from the past, present, and future. God knew we would eventually make a wrong move, and wanted to make sure we had a way we could eventually be forgiven. Which is why he created us in time, and not excluded from it, so we could be forgiven before we reached eternity and consequently meaning we hopefully wouldnt share the same fate as his once beloved fallen angel.
why didn't he create a species with free will that wouldn't choose to sin?
Why don’t you create a story with characters like that and let us know how it goes?@@mnmnrt

Everytime someone says they rely on themself, or they are the great moral arbiter, I think of the evil recorded in the Book of Judges, and its final verse.
Judges 21:25 KJV
In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Genesis says the same, agreed
Amen, Amen, And remember, it began in heaven, the war and heaven were Lucifer. The brightest of angels somehow developed jealousina's heart and said he wants to be like the most high. He thought he knew better than God. He could rule better than God and do better than God. Even though he was a created angel and not uncreated meaning he was not God. And so they began there and from one word off. Sad, isn't it, but that was the free world choice? Lucifer made when he became satan.

Well, believe it or not, you're partially right? Because you don't understand scripture, but otherwise you're wrong. If you mean if you mean there's no God, there's no existence after death. Oh, you're definitely wrong. However, there's one part you're right about the littley the moment you die because, the dead know nothing.
You're right, they're going to be asleep. Just dead in the ground. They're not going to know anything. They're gonna be in darkness temporarily, but they will see, they will open their eyes again. That's because when you're dead, you don't know time. If we did for a thousand years till christ comes, you wouldn't know it because you'd be dead.
However, there's one part you're right about the literal moment you die, because the dead know nothing you're right, they're going to know, just dead in the ground, they're not going to know anything they're gonna be in darkness temporarily. But you see that's, because when you're dead, you don't know time, if we are dead for a 1000 years till Christ comes and you would not know it because you'd be dead.
But you see Christ is coming soon. But whether you died 10 years ago a 1000 years ago or yesterday. Time stands still or free to the dead though. That it's the same amount of time. They're in a sense of sleep. Which is also shown in the Scriptures. So when Jesus Christ does come soon in the clouds and they're raised from the dead, the first thing they'll see when they open their eyes is Christ in the clouds and that's a beautiful thing.
Now I know you don't understand that. Or you once did and chose to know not, or not believe or know it to be true. It's true just the same and Heaven does exist, but so doesn't people's judgment for the Lake of fire which is not burning forever? There is no eternal burning hell, but a Lake of fire. One day will exist for those who choose to be lost. That's free, will that is what is true Love and free will.
Glory to the Triune God 🙏 may lost souls find their way back to Jesus Christ
1 Peter 4: 6 For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit. I imagine he witnessed to all those who came before he was born. Anything including the impossible IS possible through God.

And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne. And there were open books, and one of them was the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds, as recorded in the books.

We were created with free will because He wanted us to choose to love Him. Love isn't a feeling, it's and action and therefore in order to choose to love Hod we have to have free will

Before we take a ship to sea to protect our precious lives we must ensure that it’s safe. And in the game of life we must find and jettison all unwanted cargo. Spend much time finding jealousy hiding in the holds of your life holding on tight. And without mercy throw it overboard. Only those who keep God’s commandment to not covet shall have this victory.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

You might want to revise your message on Mother Theresa. She believed suffering brought you closer to God so she made sure the people suffered well.
Suffering and trial and tribulation are three different personal experiences. Suffering leave u wounded and draw away from God. Trial come in succession to build our character with Christ tribulations strength the commitment of our faith in God and believe in Jesus Christ
@@bradleybutters1511yes and through our tribulations we ceased from and rely on his peace
Just because some people do not believe in God or do not agree with his nature (as they understand it) it does not mean God does not exist. They can like him or not like him, but if God is real, he is real. He is not going to disappear because people say: I do not want to follow God. If he is real, we ALL have to answer him, like it or not. Some people talk as they have a choice. If God is real, you will answer to him. Who cares what do we think. WAKE UP WORLD!
I know an atheist whos whole upbringing was without any religion. Not until he was 45 he told me he felt the holy spirit fill him. It was an acknowledgement of God, he is now a baptised Christian.
I was Christianed as an infant but i was never taken to church, we didnt even have a bible in the house. I knew the 'story' of jesus but it didnt effect me. I was agnostic to it all and didnt have a care. But from no personal effort to search but just internalised thinking about if god is real, is jesus God. So a prayed to Jesus to give me some sign Hes real. I had an overwhelming sense of peace and warmth fill my entire body, i just knew it was Jesus sending me the holy spirit. I had lost my mother at the beginning of the year several month earlier and after feeling the holy spirit I just was thinking of my mum and hoping shes with Jesus literally within 2 minutes of that thought I had an invitation to go to a church. Ive never had anything to do with any churches in my life. It felt like a sign that Jesus was answering my prayers and helping me to get to know him. It pushed me to get a bible and read his word, and I wanted and felt like I needed to go to church. I had an insatiable need to know jesus more and more. Infact I believe this world pushes us NOT to believe in Jesus.
Its Jesus himself that brings us to him.
God speaks through the Holy Spirit, and the word
My parents taught me Church-ianity. Yahusha mercifully gave me wisdom and knowledge to see the lies and myths the mainstream church teaches.
God speaks to us through the Holy Scriptures also.
After Jesus died for 3 days from what I understood he went to hell to tell others who didn't know about Jesus.... I don't remember the verses...

Man these videos are great. I’ve watched nearly all of them the past couple weeks. One request is that you guys re-record the out to video. It’s clearly windy and muffled and don’t match the quality of the video before it
“Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.”
Galations 3:23-25
