Give Me an Answer - Student Accuses Cliffe of Making Stuff Up

  • Program 1623 ................... - More than Matter and Energy - Judgement - What is Truth? ..............
    Recorded at Texas State University - October 2022.
    The "Give Me An Answer" ministry began as an outgrowth of the dialogues Cliffe Knechtle has had with students on various university campuses throughout the United States. These universities include the University of Maine, Harvard, MIT, University of Florida, University of Texas, University of Wisconsin, University of Minnesota, University of California Los Angeles, University of California San Diego, Berkeley, Stanford, University of Hawaii and the University of Washington. Cliffe spoke on these campuses in front of the Student Union or Library at noon for five to ten minutes. At the close of his initial remarks, he'd open up the time for questions and answers, which usually turned into a two to four hour dialogue with students. His crowd size ranged from 25 - 500 students at a time, and between classes, new students would join the discussion. This is an extremely effective way to reach a large number of university students with the Gospel of Christ.

      That's true when goes does do something about evil people like to complain on how he did it or why which it just stupid God knows the right way and time to handle something if he is going to. People need to know that God has created us with free will so if someone's wants to do evil he will let them but there will be a time when that person will get what they deserve and it will be for an eternity I've just gotta say many of these unbelievers have no idea what they are talking about till they come to God and get answers from the Bible or the holy spirit through prayer. We can communicate with god in multiple ways and he will answer I know that for a fact personally.

      Well that guy was clearly making stuff up about Christianity and theism 😂. I miss the good Old Days of common sense, rational discourse, sanity and clarity when people could have good conversations. AMEN brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless brother Stuart and Cliffe Knechtle's Apologetics ministry even though Cliffe's getting older but he held his own pretty well explaining Christianity and theism to these people. It's obviously not the burden of proof for believers but God Himself to meet the burden of proof which He has for us Christian theists despite what Atheists claim are just unsupported claims. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
      I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
      Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
      Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
      ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
      Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.

      The Prophet now reproves not only one kind of evil, but brings together every sort of crimes; as though he said, that the Israelites were in every way corrupt and perverted. He says first, that there was among them no faithfulness, and no kindness. He speaks here of their contempt of the second table of the law; for by this the impiety of men is sooner found out, that is, when an examination is made of their life: for hypocrites vauntingly profess the name of God, and confidently (plenis buccis - with full cheeks) arrogate faith to themselves; and then they cover their vices with the external show of divine worship, and frigid acts of devotion:

      @The2029isComing I understand. My reasoning is for you, for you to see what's been hidden from you.
      Why has theology been removed from modern-day Christianity? What is theology? Why is it important? What is my theology? Do I have a theology? Why do I believe what I believe about God and Christianity?
      Do you agree with the Bible that teaches we're all dead, dead to God, and enmity with God? All of humanity? That's what the Bible teaches. Have you read Psalm 5, 5?
      It says God hates workers of iniquity, aka hates sinners. Cliff might think he's doing, working, as God calls, but he's teaching Arminianism, the Pelagian controversy as it's known.
      That man, humanity is not dead but able to come Christ by their own faith and merits. Thomas Aquinas taught, regarding Eph. 2, 1 that its operative grace, not co-operative grace. The Divine initiative. God alone quickens his elect. Paul teaches Eph. 2, 1-3 we're dead, slaves of Satan and our sins and trespasses, etc. If we're dead, slaves to sins and trespasses, and Satan, can I make myself alive by faith if I'm dead? Can a slave set themselves free? Research and see for yourself.

      God has touched your mind and given you new eyes. There's no going back from this point, once He lets you peer beyond the veil of society, you can't un-see it. If you earnestly ask Jesus to reveal Himself to you, He will. It will be in a way that is deeply personal to you specifically, in a way that is so intimate and secret that it will be impossible to fully explain to anyone else, and there will be no other explanation that satisfies the miracle of it. If you're feeling like you suddenly have the desire to do and be things you've never particularly been drawn towards, that's Him. That's how it works, He changes you, makes you better. Your desires shift, in many ways quite dramatically and away from yourself. Once a mortal being hears the actual truth of the universe, simply the act of hearing it starts to work on your psyche.
      Embrace the change, Jesus will literally save your life.

When my eyes were blind, I did not respond well to just words. But what did catch my attention was finally coming across TRUE believers that spread His light. Of course once I was in they started pointing out what I should change as a believer, but before they could scare me away, they caught me with their love. I wanted some of what they had, you know?

Now we’re made good in God’s eyes. Then, out of His mercy He gives us The Holy Spirit. This is considered being reborn. Our old self and our way of living has died on the cross with Jesus. Now we have the opportunity to not live by our flesh, but by the Spirit. I don’t understand your last part?

      2. I'm asking for evidence of a god, not of the Bible being a historic text or mentioning some history. If Gary shows you a book that recounts _with perfect accuracy_ the Napoleonic Wars, but then goes on to claim _"leprechauns exist",_ it'd be crazy to use the historic evidence to justify believing in leprechauns, right? Well similarly you need evidence of a god, and a god-claim simply sharing the same book as a fact (like "Jerusalem exists") doesn't prove the god-claim in the slightest.
      3. My life has _many_ goals. You have evidence of one of them: _spend my time trying to help people detach from irrational beliefs._
      I do it in part because life's toughest moments _aren't made easier by delusions._ When one has cancer, the worst thing you can do is rush into buying a fake cancer cure, and then dying. So it turns out _truth matters,_ and you should value it more. But that means relying on evidence to form your beliefs, and so if you can't figure out _strong, logical evidence of a god_ then you should abandon belief -- because it sure looks like a fake cancer cure to me.

I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
      I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
      Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.

      Bonnie and Theo:
      The universe and everything in it has all the hallmarks of design. The fine-tuning of the universe for life is to such a ridiculous degree that the chances of life of any kind arising by chance are about the same as a tornado plowing through a junkyard and leaving behind a fully assembled 747 complete with passengers and crew, all fueled up and ready to take off -- and a runway to take off from.
      When we see a semiotic code, "John loves Michelle", carved in a tree, we don't write it off as wind, rain, or just odd growth patterns of the bark, we infer a mind behind it. But when confronted with the nearly infinitely more complex code of the human genome -- a 3.5 billion letter word -- it somehow has to be chance and necessity?
      The evidence of design is so strong that skeptical physicists have had to invent the multiverse -- something by its nature unobservable and for which there is far less evidence than for God -- to try to dissolve the theistic implications of fine-tuning in the acid of probability. There are infinite other universes with different constants, they say, and we just happen to be in the one where the constants favor life. But they have no way of knowing whether these other universes are even different at all; if the multiverse is real, it's possible for all we know that all these other universes are identical to this one or at least very similar, which would make the headache that fine-tuning causes skeptics literally infinitely worse.
      Others try to claim the universe created itself from nothing. Hawking: "Because there is a law of gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing." Though admittedly gravity is not nothing. Lawrence Krauss wrote a whole book about it, A Universe From Nothing, in which he camouflages a quantum vacuum as nothing to get where he wants to go.
      No physicists deny the theistic spookiness of fine-tuning. It was either Penrose or Polkinghorne who calculated that the odds against a universe that favors life coming into existence by chance are so great that if you turned all the matter in the known universe into paper, you still wouldn't have room for all the zeroes.
      None of the skeptical physicists deny this number or bother to try to calculate an alternative figure.
      Instead, they just try to come up with physical ways -- from outside the physical universe -- to make it go away instead of trying to be an honest broker and investigate BOTH possibilities.
      But when you have gotten to the point where you believe that the purpose of science is not primarily to do science but to get rid of religion, looking into that other possibility is strictly taboo.

      Exactly hypocrisy at it's finest and I graduated double majoring in sociology and anthropology in Saint Peter's University. Well that guy was clearly making stuff up about Christianity and theism 😂. I miss the good Old Days of common sense, rational discourse, sanity and clarity when people could have good conversations. AMEN brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless brother Stuart and Cliffe Knechtle's Apologetics ministry even though Cliffe's getting older but he held his own pretty well explaining Christianity and theism to these people. It's obviously not the burden of proof for believers but God Himself to meet the burden of proof which He has for us Christian theists despite what Atheists claim are just unsupported claims. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
      I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
      Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
      Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
      ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
      Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.

      She was hung up on the distinction between gender and sex. I mean I can understand her frustration, it's a lot like talking to someone who breaks their attention mid stride, you want to be validated
      But it's a slippery slope toward confirmation bias. Her follow up question was whether a person will be damned for same sex practices or anomalous gender associations. But this is asking the wrong question. If you want to know what qualifies a person for heaven, focus on that
      From there we ought to be tuned in for the distinction of an earthly life and a grace oriented life. They are exclusive in their endeavors. No one comes to the Father except by me, meaning if you choose to go it any other way other than following Jesus, you are making yourself lord
      The first person who tried that was Eve. She saw that the forbidden tree was so-called 'coveted' for granting wisdom. And when both of them ate "in dying they died" Eve wanted a crown even after having been granted dominion, taking a negative to a positive
      Trouble is what are we ruling outside of the kingdom of heaven? The ground here is cursed and we have been subject to death. The only thing we can turn to are examples of failed campaigns that have led countless others to ruin regardless of their beliefs or 'constructs' as she put it

      That is, there are believers who are carnal, and who do few to no works at all. They burn up their work, and lose reward, but they're still saved.
      With that in mind, I'm in no way criticizing Cliffe. He's done way more than most any of us could to help open people up intellectually to the existence of God and that Christ is the one who paid our penalty for sin. God has really blessed this man, and he's a trooper for going to campuses and helping direct the lost to Jesus.

Also have seen people(meaning multiple guys)beating someone clearly to small to stop one of them. Let alone multiple guys. And people just watched or record. All backgrounds. White, Black, Hispanic, Etc…. So I believe Cliffe when he says someone said “they have date raped and support it.” And no one did anything except possibly call him out. Legally if they knew anything. Just admission without a victim, evidence, or eye witness cooperation of the victims rape. Would go no where.. maybe an arrest that wouldn’t last 72 hours then him being released, but besides all that I’ve said. I would recommend them not read about relativism or materialism, and then see how many of their scholars believe in those two. We need to pray for them!

Real life people generally don’t act like cartoon villains cackling in sadistic glee shouting ‘Mwahahaha beware my evil plan of evilness and EVIL!’. Generally, they try to find a way to justify what they do as right.

This is a comment Charles Colson would make as he spent time in prison himself for his involvement with Watergate. He became a Christian just before entering prison, and Jesus changed his life.
