They are the sick and twisted generation of Sodom that their parents have "raised." Good is evil and evil is Good to them. Most of them aren't seeking truth, they are seeking worship of self and being their own false god. Believers have to keep praying God will open their eyes and heart.
Dude from 17 minutes asked, got an answered, asked for clarification, and then understood the point and learned. Hope university students are as intellectually open as him. Bless his heart and mind hope there's potential for spiritual growth for sure.
Mister Cliff made them all that Comfortable to ask Clarification when they don't Understand something, Encouraged their Curiosity and the guy from 17th minute even was a bit playful about it. Very Heartwarming to see all this. My Hope is that we may see these fellow people in Heaven with us [through their Repentance and Faith in as well as Love for our Lord].
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.
@justingary5322 wow Justin good job 👏 I enjoyed hearing your story and thoughts I can tell you put your heart into it as you should it's sad to say majority of this world doesn't know god but the gods word already says people will perish for lack of knowledge and that many for fall under the mark of the beast and will walk to broad path all we want as Christians is for people to have a relationship with Jesus so they to can see what we do but I know one thing when people end up in in hell they would wish they had listened to all these street preachers they've walked passed and mocked I can onlu imagine the faces of people once they see Jesus only for him to say depart from me your worker of Iniquity.
@@anonymouswon7000 💀💀💀 seriously? That's what you came up with. I'm not being rude but I'm actually curious on how you came up with that. Many people seems to use the "it's all gods fault" stance when actually god didn't nothing wrong he created literally everything with perfection and it was us his own creation who made hell on earth. So with all respect the way the world is today is not because of how God made it, its because of how we handled it and all the suffering you see today is literally all our fault for wanting to live in the ways of satan which obviously only bring destruction. I really don't get how non believers end up always wanting to put god in the corner and say he's the reason for suffering when he created a world without it and then we choose to sin on our own behalf god and Jesus literally left that chat but we are the ones still in the group call we are called sinners for a reason. God does allow evil to happen in certain situations and many people don't understand why but its not all that complicated to realize why he let's evil take place everyone just wants to bash him without even understanding why he allows things to happen we need to get context in all situations when talking about this stuff.
@@anonymouswon7000 bro how can you think like this? Who is teaching you and where are you getting your understandings from because that makes no sense respectfully. This is why it's important to read the Bible because if not all we get is crazy opinions and talking from our own understanding ill be the first to let you know that your wrong my man with all love and its good to be wrong because one day someone is able to correct. Now let me have you understand God made us in his image not meaning we look like him because he has no form since he is spirit but he made adam and eve from the dust if the very ground we walk on and then created them perfectly with no sin no anything just like every baby that is born today they have no sin, then later on in the beginning of the bible it says adam and eve were deceived by Satan and thats is when sin entered the world by the first two humans God created and sadly the other generations after them sinned aswell we can prevent sin but people don't wanna because saldy sinning is more fun then going to god.. God made us capable of living without sin since he limited his power and gave us half of his power he possess then gave us free will inorder for us to have choice but not just any choice but the choice to choose him because if there's no free will then all he did was create a bunch of robots and he didn't want that for us so within free will we have choosen to sin and look at how that turned out in 2023 the Bible is very clear that the world is like this because of us following Satan after all these years after adam and eve its the same tricks different people, I'm sorry but God has nothing to do with how the world is today he created a fresh world and we were the ones rotting it and if God was responsible then it would be in the Bible and I'd be fine with admitting it's his fault but that's not the case.
The kid says that he thinks it was a lie and as soon as cliffs starts to explain himself, the kid goes on his phone. That speaks a thousand words alone.
@@UA-cam.bro.okayyyas cliffe is explaining, the kid who accused him puts his head down and starts scrolling on his phone. it was in the middle of their interaction
That young man in the red just wanted to argue. He looked for places to disrupt not discuss. At one point he misconstrued a point and “did a little spin”. He (and the equally disagreeable girl in the cap) seem to be blaming “grape” on Cliffe at one stage. They listened to nothing. Said everything.
I was a lukewarm earlier this year who just started to look into Christianity in more depth, and have said regrettable things to atheists that could have pushed them further away from Christ. I'm a teen learning from Christians like Cliffe and now I aspire to have the same confidence as him and take opportunities to evangelise. Please pray for me. 🙏🏼
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:
I met Cliffe this weekend in the airport. He is an amazing person who strives to serve Christ and to be more like him. He is a great role model. Amazing man!
@@The2029isComing The divine initiative. Co-operative grace or Operative grace, as Thomas Aquinas taught? Do you believe faith precedes regeneration or regeneration precedes faith?
@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.
The guy that found it implausible that a person can openly admit to date-rape with no consequences is obviously ignorant to human nature and moral depravity.
@@RR-ue4im Thats exactly what I'm doing. I've found a good church and should be starting a Bible study group shortly. Please can you recommend any books other than the Bible that could help me. Thanks
I do think he should have been tooken behind bars myself but it's fine if he doesn't know Jesus by the time he comes back that guy will have all what he deserves because he won't be with god unless he has forgiveness of sin.
Agreed. But the guy in the glasses warps himself into frustration at the thought of anything less. He wants badly to believe that his worldview is a proper framing of it that he would grasp at straws at any dissonance from it
@@ramblincapuchin9075those who called it out had self righteousness and is using it to discredit Cliffe's experience instead of listening to the point that it is evil, they jumped on another point to avoid it.
@@jhedjoardumago7691Exactly they were so disingenious. They wanted it to seems like Cliffe was tolerante of rape or lying about the man saying it. I just couldnt waste my time talking to closed minded hard hearted people. They don't want any challenge to their worldview.
@@dashriprock5720that's what I was thinking. Say Cliffe did report it, okay... what good does that do? If there was no known victim, no other evidence, what else could have he possibly done? It would have the same result.
This bloke has genuinely started something in me. I do not really know how to describe it but what I once saw as total lunacy is starting to make sense.
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.
@_The_Traveler_ Brother, I think you have perfectly described my predicament. I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to send me such a message I truly to appreciate it. Over the past weeks and months I have been massively drawn to Christ in weird ways. It's hard to explain but you just kinda feel it if that makes any sense. I wish you well friend.
@@alanrichardson1816this comments section can be a pit. I’m so glad I came across yours 💚. Walk with that feeling. Look for the signs they are there for YOU to discover. It’s your journey - a journey it sounds like you’ve already started whether you know it or not 💚 God bless you stranger from the internet. You are loved!
@@kcmman9323I’m so glad for you guys. The beginning of my walk was so patchy that I wish I could have a do over, but God has plans for all of us. You’ll come to learn that God is a gracious God, where sin increased, grace abounded all the more. I’d encourage you to read some of the epistles (the books after acts and before Revelation) after you read one of the gospels. Romans, 1 Corinthians, and Hebrews give you a good explication of the gospel. Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, James, 1 Peter, and 1-3 John give you a good understanding of what the Christians walk looks like. 2 Corinthians, 1-2 Thessalonians, 1-2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, 2 Peter, and Jude have a focus on the church. Of course, they all overlap and reinforce the same message of the gospel, but take some time to chew through a couple of these, it’ll be a great help. One last piece of advice: don’t rely too heavily on your feelings. The Bible tells us that the heart is deceitful and wicked. If you want to understand faith, Hebrews 11-12 are a goldmine. Faith is the confidence to develop as you gain evidence in something’s veracity (e.g., you have faith in your spouse not to cheat on you). Faith is what gives you the confidence to stand on God’s promises, and to follow Christ’s commands (love God, love your neighbor, spread the gospel). It can be a lot to take in if you don’t pace yourself, but God will give you the understanding in due time. Just know that we are sinners with no hope of restoring our relationship with God, but Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became a man and lived a perfect life for us. He fulfilled all the law, but died the death we deserved. God placed the penalty of our sins on Him, as it’s written, cursed is everyone that hangs from a tree. Inversely, we receive His righteousness when we repent (admitting to and turning from sin) and trust in the finished work of Christ. You will stumble constantly, but the arm of the Lord is strong and quick to save. Press on until the end friends. Run the race with gladness, bear your crosses daily, and follow Christ. I look forward to seeing you on the other side of time. For now, take your time getting to know God (if you want to hear Him speak, keep your nose in the Bible). He really is awesome
The young lady with the rainbow sweater was SO open that I felt like the Holy Spirit was really convicting her precious heart. I pray that God would reveal Himself to her in a real and tangible way; that she would turn her heart to Jesus and live her life according to his word. Thank you, Cliff for your ministry.
"It was morality that burned the books of the ancient sages, and morality that halted the free inquiry of the Golden Age and substituted for it the credulous imbecility of the Age of Faith. It was a fixed moral code and a fixed theology which robbed the human race of a thousand years by wasting them upon alchemy, heretic-burning, witchcraft and sacerdotalism." -H.L. Mencken-
Cliffe is so good at apologetics and providing a reason for the hope that lies within him. These videos are helping to sharpen my own skills at communicating the gospel.
If you're going to ask a question. Regardless of whether you like the answer or not. Have the courage to at least stand there and wait for the man's answer.
It was crazy when I went to college, I cannot comprehend how far off worse it is now. You had to have a strong foundation to hold on to your faith back when I was younger, now days most don't even have a strong foundation, and they are being spiritually attacked even harder nowadays. God bless his outreach to a generation of students that have little to no spiritual understanding who are easily brainwashed by their college professors.
@@Theo_Skeptomai if you actually read it then your question has been answered. If you actually read it "many , many times", and you still don't know the answer to your question, you're a liar or you're trying to instigate an argument with a total stranger. If you read it you would understand who, exactly, you are according to scripture. If you understand that and continue to deny the gospel, it's way above my pay grade to help you. At this point you're trolling Christians for your pleasure. People that you don't personally know and have zero reason to come at like you are. I'd guess something happened to you in the past , pertaining to Christianity, and this is what you do to feel like you are getting back at whoever hurt you or whatever. Remember, no matter how far away from Jesus you find yourself, turn around and He'll be right there.
Brainwashed? Christians begin indoctrinating their children from birth, baptism before they can consent, Sunday school where they’re told they’ll burn in hell for eternity if they don’t worship God. Forced to conform to religion before any critical thinking skills have developed. Christianity is literally forced from birth onto the intellectually defenseless and you accuse those who don’t agree with that of being “brainwashed”??
These people will cry "believe all victims", and "advocate for victims" then cry and scream and deny victim's stories when it suddenly doesn't align with their narrative. The hypocrisy is ASTOUNDING.
News flash, kids, people can say whatever they want. Someone can say that they robbed a bank but it doesnt necessarily make it true. You cant prosecute someone for saying they did something if there is no victim or evidence. If its true then he's evil but we live in a country that requires evidence for prosecution.
No... they think the cops can investigate a crime after someone literally confessed to committing it. Smh. Do you seriously not understand how that works?
They could investigate but they lack evidence to start a whole investigation. They wouldn't take it seriously if there's no recordings or something and more importantly who would believe that a guy openly said he date-r*ped if even these ones didn't believe Cliffe
I really do appreciate these conversations. I am learning how to ask better questions as well as respond more calmly. I admire how you are able to respond and respect the other people in these discussion. I hope to get better at that.
Please pray for me and my children. I know no matter our struggle, We can turn to God our Heavenly Father. Lord please continue to give me strength to overcome my fears. I want to give up and quit because I’m overwhelmed. But I keep faith even as I constantly struggle to take care of my children and I’m constantly struggling to buy groceries. My husband died years ago. At times I feel so alone. I’m a single mom. I suffered an heart attack a year ago and I’m battling lupus so my health is failing. Both of my sons are autistic. I praise you Lord even as I constantly struggling to pay rent. Help me Jesus as I struggle to buy my children’s school supplies because I want to give up. I don’t know how I’m going to get through this, but thankfully I have you Lord! I know you will provide. Faith over fear! Praise God and his son Yeshua!
Hey Tiff, I'm so sorry for your loss and for your situation. I will pray for you Tiff. Please continue to have trust and have faith in our Lord. I too, have my own struggles, but I will continue to trust in the Lord and have faith in Him, now and forevermore.
I had no idea how much more logical and smarter I was than the typical person until the past ten years, these videos are proof of how far society has slid into stupidity and being emotionally driven.
It was obvious how short their attention was and how ignorant they were when the guy called him a liar and the girl said he was supporter of rape. After He flat out said he called the guy evil and the guy started texting when cliff responded to a serious question and allegation.
It’s the way the first group looked like they were having a meeting to come up with another question lol. Thank you for your work and servant-hood even in today’s messed up society. God bless you!
We need more people like Cliff who I just recently came across. He has wisdom and a lot of patience to handle this kind of responsibility. So many college students, while they have have the academic capabilities, lack in real life experiences. The type of indoctrination being taught in colleges is a very dangerous thing. Parents, be vigilant. Find out what’s being taught in these universities. God bless you Cliff!
Seriously it sure has! Even I was tired at times I just stop watching because what people say is just literally stupid and then they wanna put everything on cliff as if he's the problem.
@@shydalelewis3966 literally like they don’t actually listen to them the entire time he talk they are occupied coming up with a response and therefore put words in his mouth and it’s really annoying but oh well🤦♀️
The welcoming smile and handshake that he gave to that young man also does a great deal. The peace, the happiness, the love that he spreads through Jesus makes such a difference. 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? That light.
@SmellofFemaleAll that matters that you do, is just that you accept His truth. Then from then, you make an effort on growing in Him. By reading His word, starting to pray, just wanting to follow Him. Then you’ll feel him working his magic in you- through your spirit. A beautiful, beautiful thing.
@SmellofFemale We’re all condemned to death. Yes, as soon as we’re born. Sin rules inside of us. Now, Jesus comes into the picture. Sacrifices Himself on the cross and dies with our sins. 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?
@@mr.jay1150His Almight is The One Who Guides you to even be able to do all that, my friend.

Everything is GOD's Voice, owned by Him as His Words. I Believe there is definitely no such thing as something we decide to do and only *_then_* The Lord starts to Help us do more.

The way you handle a whole group of people attacking and trying to poke holes in you with love, respect and honesty is something I truly appreciate gods blessings upon you pastor!!
God bless this man for the respect and patience he exudes. So many times in this video did i lose my patience and gave into anger and confusion for some of these questions and people.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA this comment is so real. I can confidently say if I were in Cliffes position I would've lashed out at these people and my patience would have ran out😂😂God bless Cliffe and may he grant us the patience that he exudes
I really love how Cliffe ended this one: "Some of you should be squirming right now, because you know very very well that you have never asked, what is the evidence that whatever it is I'm living for is true".
Ironically a question Cliffe should ask himself, as one without strong, logical evidence of a god. (Although it's certainly possible Cliffe doesn't actually believe and is simply living based on the real evidence that he makes money convincing people to believe in this idea.)
@@Dametreee That contains a lot of little, _important_ mistakes. 1. I'm asking for evidence of a god. (Not a creator. We know creators exist; I created this comment, for example. 100% of creators we have evidence of _aren't gods._ ) 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.
@@majm9309you lack discernment he wouldn't be out on the street doing this if he was making all this money he would have a mega church like Joel Osteen, td Jakes, Benny hinn, and countless others
@@russellbarlow1796 See? No evidence of a god. The most critical _foundation_ to theism, and you're completely disinterested, veering sharply towards other topics. Like truth itself (reality itself; evidence) doesn't matter to you. What did truth _do_ to you to make you dislike it? Meanwhile, _is Cliffe working another job?_ Almost certainly not. So clearly it _is_ what he makes his living on, and I wasn't even wrong on the topic you veered towards.
@@majm9309Where did the gravitational energy originate from that caused the Big Bang. Because as we both know energy cannot be created it has to come from something already created or existing, you cannot create energy from nothing. So how did it happen without a God huh? You want me to believe what Dawkins and others say about “something coming from nothing” when that hasn’t been replicated throughout all of history again. See the problem with you atheists isn’t even that you don’t believe in a creator, it’s how egotistical and narcissistic you are in your views, let’s do a simple walkthrough of your thought process. You want proof of a God, yet whenever evidence is presented to you you deflect and argue semantic points instead of the actual meat of the conversation. You say you don’t want the Bible as evidence but the truth of the matter is God come down right in front of you, shake your hand and introduce himself while simultaneously fixing all of the world’s problems including your own and you still would not believe in him. You are intellectually, spiritually, and physically dead.
I have been watching these videos for over the last two weeks and I’m just completely enamored by the entire exchange, especially with cliffe’s intellect. I don’t know how old the man is but to be still doing this at whatever age that he is standing around for hours, getting berated with questions shows boldness that is very hard to replicate, truly a gift given from God
That guy accusing him of lying is a perfect example of evil. How on earth can someone just randomly assume someone is lying with no evidence?😵💫😵💫😵💫 I know what it's like to be falsely accused of lying. It is utterly astonishing how anyone can accuse a stranger of dishonesty. It is like assuming a truck has no engine because the owner told you the engine has a certain amount of horsepower.
An example of evil? Being skeptical of a known grifter? I'm assuming you believe in the bible with your good vs evil rhetoric. So I guess it would make sense that you would think we should just assume every statement by every stranger is true.
You gotta break through their initial wall of Pride first. These kids are so sure of what they've been programmed to think against God because they've never been challenged on it before.
Heck yes Cliffe! Thank you for another video. You are a very smart guy. I wish you would point out the constant logical fallacies these children keep making. And yes they are children. I can tell by how dumb and ignorant their rejections and arguments are. God bless them though and God bless you and your family. Thank you for talking to these kids
Spot on. What do they even learn in school. Not very much it seems. That boomer walking off was the worst though. Asking such a profound question. Basically he asked 'why does god allow evil'? Which is a good question, but especially Cliff must've answered that a million times already. It was not a question that came as a surprise, and anyone should find the answer to that question within themselves, thats what I believe at least. The fact he didn't even want to hear an answer is just urgh.
@@andyhenrymick2869 my answer to that question is there is no such thing as evil if God doesn’t exist. So the Atheist has an even bigger problem with evil as it doesn’t exist. If no God there is no should or oughts, there only is.
This is very true. General rule of thumb is, if the camera looks to be a handy cam/video camera quality the students will listen respectfully and POSSIBLY be taught. The clearer the camera quality, the angrier the students get. Young people now live in a permanent performance. They say what they think they are supposed to. They think, very little.
Cliffe knows that calling the cops on everything illegal that he hears will only address the symptoms. Cliffe is trying to get to the cause, which is sin of the human heart.
Cliffe, you are brilliant and clearly have a mind that has been saturated with the Word of God. The wisdom, the compassion, the love you project outwards towards all. And the wisdom is available to you at a moments notice. You see it in the ability to instantly answer these hard questions. Most would answer the questions with the wisdom of the world...or in other words, have no good answer. But your answers clearly come from your love and following of God. Every one of your videos leaves me with something I can take with me and apply to my life. Thank you and God bless you!
@@vincentkrych2158 your not listening because even cliff said it "aren't you listening, I said its evil" She responded "I know you said its evil, but saying something is bad and not doing anything about it?" Please take cliff out your rare end bruh, its looking bad 🏌🏽
@@justgo_withit8850 You still are continuing to prove my point that people dont listen🤣Just stop, You are making a fool of yourself. Cliff is 100% correct and it was proven!
@@Theo_Skeptomaiwell if you actually listened, nobody says natural disasters, or death and war are acts of God. Not everything that happens is because he wants it to be
Lost and hurt people, no matter what their belief system, like to blame God for everything. It's goofy, and how can God be to blame for everything when we have free will? Idk why people can't figure out even the most simplistic things 😂
If you're a sinner then you would keep your bank account. Because if you don't need it then you wouldn't have money to support and provide for yourself. Because Cliffe is using lots of different metaphors to prove his point to be right instead of it being the other way around and that's why.
No, they don't blame God. They want God to serve them. They say God if you're real, why can't you fix these atrocities in my life? You see they want a servant of God to fix these atrocities. But then if God did force himself into their life and fix these things, what do you think they would say next? God you give me no free will you take it away from me. This is one of the contradictions that they make. If God does, they hate him. If God doesn't, they hate him. This is why God wants us to accept God and come to him to serve. A true church walks without going into a building and spreads the word
@@Theo_Skeptomai then free will wouldn't make sense, it wouldn't exist. if one has the minimum amount of intelligence one would know that free will is a thing. and free will proves that not everything is the will of God. but you said "theist" so that would only be true if you are not talking about the actual God from the bible, in that case okay that "god" probably didn't give free will to people, yet we do have free will so i think that leaves something pretty clear about what is more reliable.
This is the first time I’ve taken the time to see a complete video of Cliffe. I admire the man’s strength in the face of adversity. Over the years I understood the importance of confrontation , especially when people challenge and corrupt truth. He might come very strong and direct with the answers, but he has love. I would had loved to meet such bold man preaching the word of The Lord openly in my school years.
There’s a video where cliff debates a professor at a school in the court yard. And he gets asked a lot of hard questions and he respond so beautifully and really breaks everything down evidently
I've been listening and watching Cliffe for years. I can honestly say I'm scared regarding how the minds and attitudes of young people have deteriorated. Watch a Cliffe video ten years or older and note the deterioration for yourself. Things are getting worse.
@@jasonnoble7302Nope ! Because of Christ I learn to love myself and others around me telling them by their own evil action will lead to their downfall 😊
Let the Lord blesses all you brotheren in Jesus Christ!🙏🙏🙏. Im very happy that persons and evangelists like Cliff exist and dedicate so much effort and time to call the attention of other ignorant people! Keep up the good cause Jesus has put in you! I just want to know what Cliff and the rest of the brotheren are doing on Saturdays which is the real day for worshipping services and preaching His Word since the very beginning of this planet and clear mandate of God for all times? I heard they worship on Sundays only but since Creation the Sabbath is the holy day which God assigned so we can take a rest from daily business and dedicate more time to Him, singing, expressing our great fullness for life, forgivness, patience and everything else He gives us? The 10 Commandments and both Old and New Testaments ara very clear on that. May be we shall study even more profound and accept fully Gods instructions?
God bless you richly, brother Cliffe. I think you're absolutely amazing and I know God is pouring out his blessings upon you. God bless and open the eyes of the younger generation. I know you are planting some healthy seeds... God will increase!

I cannot even believe these are university students asking such horrendous questions. The education system has gone down the drain and I don’t wanna pay for it with my tax money
I speak multiple languages and I believe I speak pretty good English. After I started comparing and started reading different Bibles in different languages, I was amazed to read how similar they are. I couldn't believe the translation was as good as reading in any language.
BRILLIANT AS USUAL❤️❤️❤️ its impossible to out debate Cliffe cause its the truth, Truth of Jesus bible playing out perfectly, PEACE IN JESUS😇🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🙏🏽🙏🏿🙏🏾
I love the way he changes peoples outlook, they have questions, he answers them to the best of his capabilities, notices that, and greets him like he’s meeting a new man, and that’s exactly how you should greet someone that finally STARTS to grasp god love and the reason we follow him.
Standing up to criticism, to what appears to be intentionally misunderstanding your words and reiterating and confronting it. Good for you, speak the truth regardless, it speaks to your inner strength.
"The only reason people who believe in Jesus and his miracles are not automatically classified as nuts is that we understand that they've heard these things described to them as being non-fiction since a very young age, and -- unlike the Santa Claus yarn -- their parents never disabused them of this, because those parents were similarly delusional. We also understand that the story dates from over 2000 years ago, perhaps even centuries before that, so the issue is not as obvious (I know, we're making excuses for ignorance here) as something like Scientology, which grew out of more recent fiction." -Anonymous- from an Objectivist forum
I am impressed with what I have recently discovered on my youtube channel with this wonderful method of challenging the youth at college today. We are a small community. God Bless your method.
The fact that they didn't believed that someone did something bad and didn't get punished. They would be surprised about how many people commit sin everyday and dont get punished. The world doesnt give justice that way.
Difference between sex and gender is that up until recently (in this last 40 -50yrs) the etymology of the word Gender was used in place of sex to differentiate male/female vs intercourse sex. So gender was used to address biological sex instead of intercourse sex. But there are essentially synonymous. Its not until academia and the introduction to trans/gender ideologies that this was altered to try to distinguish the two
1:20 "It's not just enough to have faith. It has to be sincere faith." I agree with Cliffe on a lot of things, and I appreciate his intellect and way of sharing the gospel. Regarding the above citation, it may be worthwhile to clarify that one is saved through faith in Christ, that He paid our penalty for sin, and not through faithful works.
I don't believe that is what he was saying. Anyone can claim to have faith, it is shown through works as evidence of that living faith. Especially in the broader context of the conversation about Christian hypocrisy. Saved by Faith alone, but faith does not come alone
I think he's not making a faith vs works argument at all, but pointing out there's reasonable faith and then there's nominal, cultural Christianity, where people say a quick prayer, slap a label on themselves and then go about their lives not really trusting in Jesus or knowing the reasons why they should/do. That's not to say all reasons must be intellectual to be valid. Though Cliff's may disagree on that last point as he leans more to the intellectual side of things.
@@themanthelegend1542James 2 clarifies the importance of works post-salvation, because we don't benefit anyone else with just faith alone, and no one will no we are believers unless evidenced by our works. However, there are many who think works much occur in everyone saved, and scripture implies the opposite. 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. I just think it sometimes needs to be clarified to people the simplicity of scripture, that we are saved by trusting in Christ's sacrifice for our sins.
@@Adam_A_ChristianYes, Cliffe does lean on the intellectual side, and I think a lot of us were drawn to God (and then trusting in Christ) through seeing empirical evidences and logical arguments. However, we also know that the wisdom of men is foolishness to God, and the simplicity of the gospel can be lost pretty quickly if we aren't careful. I think Cliff does a good job, but it is worth encouraging him to clarify that one is saved by God through faith in Christ, not by our works. It's easy to fall into a doctrine of works salvation, and it helps to specifically include in talks with students that no one is saved by working hard, but is saved through faith that Christ paid our penalty for sin.
@@Adam_A_Christianthank you for the response. I think what you said emphasizes the necessity of clarifying the gospel to unbelievers, that they can't work to be saved.
27 Year Old Christian Here and I wish I could have a conversation with you sooooo badly Cliffe. You’re such an inspiration and breath of fresh air in the Christian Community. I’ve been noticing SOOO MUCH fakeness coming from the Christian Pastor Giants and It’s twisting the image of what Christianity REALLY is. I honestly see that you NEED a BIGGER PLATFORM so that MANY MANY more souls can learn the ACTUAL gospel and be saved. God Bless you Cliffe
ei norte americanos respeitem esse Sr. Cliffe, ele gastou a vida toda pregando o evangelho para vcs, vcs são tão abençoados por tem alguém assim em seu país, q vcs não fazem nem ideia. Tnks for your good job Cliffe, you are amazing preacher.
I am so blessed by the explanations this man gives; about secular and religious matters that span Global time. If a person will not even give a listen a open moment. There is no hope by that approach.
Cliffe, I wish you would do more of the transcendental argument for God. I know you’ve touched on it before but keep bringing it back. It destroys all Atheists and leaves them speechless.
exactly. there is sufficient evidence for those who seek God. "Seek and you shall find." The evidence is right in front of everyone's face. But those who deny it won't realize this.
@@Theo_SkeptomaiWhy would i speak to a person who got their ears covered? Same thing with God, why would he reveal himself to you if you dont even desire it
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.
Sheeeeeesh can I just be transparent right now ? Some of these ppl and their questions 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ what ever happen to logic and common sense….
Sometimes students and young people just plant their feet and refuse to move, refuse to learn. These students knew they had no reason to give you a hard time. Don’t let them get you down. These kids decided they were better and knew more than you, and they clearly had no respect for a very respectable man who had learned more than them, over a long lifetime. The new generation is sometimes unreachable. But I have respect for you for being one of the ones sowing hope, and trying to pass down good sense and ethic.
This is an interesting episode. I had a good laugh listening to Cliffe explaining what gender and sex are to a grown person. Rocket scientists should just start asking people about gender and sex in their interviews
i watched an late 90's video of cliffes and just seeing the difference in peoples overall intellect is crazy. How people spoke so well and honestly back then, and now they just blabber.
Preach Cliffe! Plant the seeds on the good earth along with the rocky soil, the thorns and thistles, and the beaten path. I know you are reaching some of these kids!
My heart has felt so heavy these past few years I’ve lost family members and friends to difficult circumstances. I recently turned myself to God and have moments where I struggle with accepting the blind faith needed to follow Jesus and defend him when people argue about why I shouldn’t believe in him. These videos have been so refreshing that there are truly good people working in the name of Jesus and God’s glory. Thank you for all the work you do.
Have you read Job? Sounds very similar to what you are going through where everyone around you wants you to abandon God. But don’t! He is for you and will always be with you. Pray for more faith in Him. Also, Joshua 1:9 is also encouraging. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
The kids at the beginning have no idea yet what the world is really like.. they have been in school their entire lives and don't understand and haven't experienced how truly evil the world is.
Yes living in sexual immorality is a sinful lifestyle, whether you’re homosexual or heterosexual or any other sexual, it’s a sin not according to me or Cliff but according to the Bible. True repentance is understanding the severity of sin and believing in Jesus Christ for salvation. Turning from a sinful lifestyle is the result of true repentance, and true trust in Jesus Christ.
I hope you’re physically fit because I can quote multiple Scriptures that call gluttony a sin worthy of death. Gotta love my fellow Christians who constantly gripe about sins of the flesh and the while walking around big as house and thinking it’s not a sin.

At 20:08. We know where this woman's politics lies. How can Cliffe be a woman just because he feels like it? Did they not teach biology in the school system before she entered university? Her response to Cliffe's question are not her own. She learned this from some postmodernist professor probably in a Gender Studies or Sociology course.
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 Why get caught up over something so trivial as biological nomenclature in exchange for the rest of what life has to offer?
Right. I knew that question was coming. And I def thought “she’s regurgitating what she heard and wants to get that moment to school someone else.” College does this. But it’s because we don’t have a formed identity just yet. We’re still impressionable
@justingary5322 Thanks for the post. The earliest Christian church that pre-dates Catholicism is the Ethiopian church. They also had an early edition of the Bible long before the KJV.

The guy at the beginning has the audacity to say Cliffe is lying about a subject and than look as his phone for a majority of the time when Cliffe responds to him.

He knew he was about to get rolled intellectually 😂 smart move
They are the sick and twisted generation of Sodom that their parents have "raised." Good is evil and evil is Good to them. Most of them aren't seeking truth, they are seeking worship of self and being their own false god. Believers have to keep praying God will open their eyes and heart.
And he continues to believe that there is no answer, even though Cliffe made a great point, free will. We can choose, to do good, or to do evil.

They cry when God does nothing about evil
But then they cry when God does something about evil
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.
True story.
@justingary5322 wow Justin good job 👏 I enjoyed hearing your story and thoughts I can tell you put your heart into it as you should it's sad to say majority of this world doesn't know god but the gods word already says people will perish for lack of knowledge and that many for fall under the mark of the beast and will walk to broad path all we want as Christians is for people to have a relationship with Jesus so they to can see what we do but I know one thing when people end up in in hell they would wish they had listened to all these street preachers they've walked passed and mocked I can onlu imagine the faces of people once they see Jesus only for him to say depart from me your worker of Iniquity.
@@anonymouswon7000 💀💀💀 seriously? That's what you came up with. I'm not being rude but I'm actually curious on how you came up with that. Many people seems to use the "it's all gods fault" stance when actually god didn't nothing wrong he created literally everything with perfection and it was us his own creation who made hell on earth.
So with all respect the way the world is today is not because of how God made it, its because of how we handled it and all the suffering you see today is literally all our fault for wanting to live in the ways of satan which obviously only bring destruction.
I really don't get how non believers end up always wanting to put god in the corner and say he's the reason for suffering when he created a world without it and then we choose to sin on our own behalf god and Jesus literally left that chat but we are the ones still in the group call we are called sinners for a reason. God does allow evil to happen in certain situations and many people don't understand why but its not all that complicated to realize why he let's evil take place everyone just wants to bash him without even understanding why he allows things to happen we need to get context in all situations when talking about this stuff.
@@anonymouswon7000 bro how can you think like this? Who is teaching you and where are you getting your understandings from because that makes no sense respectfully. This is why it's important to read the Bible because if not all we get is crazy opinions and talking from our own understanding ill be the first to let you know that your wrong my man with all love and its good to be wrong because one day someone is able to correct.
Now let me have you understand God made us in his image not meaning we look like him because he has no form since he is spirit but he made adam and eve from the dust if the very ground we walk on and then created them perfectly with no sin no anything just like every baby that is born today they have no sin, then later on in the beginning of the bible it says adam and eve were deceived by Satan and thats is when sin entered the world by the first two humans God created and sadly the other generations after them sinned aswell we can prevent sin but people don't wanna because saldy sinning is more fun then going to god..
God made us capable of living without sin since he limited his power and gave us half of his power he possess then gave us free will inorder for us to have choice but not just any choice but the choice to choose him because if there's no free will then all he did was create a bunch of robots and he didn't want that for us so within free will we have choosen to sin and look at how that turned out in 2023 the Bible is very clear that the world is like this because of us following Satan after all these years after adam and eve its the same tricks different people, I'm sorry but God has nothing to do with how the world is today he created a fresh world and we were the ones rotting it and if God was responsible then it would be in the Bible and I'd be fine with admitting it's his fault but that's not the case.

I was a lukewarm earlier this year who just started to look into Christianity in more depth, and have said regrettable things to atheists that could have pushed them further away from Christ. I'm a teen learning from Christians like Cliffe and now I aspire to have the same confidence as him and take opportunities to evangelise. Please pray for me. 🙏🏼
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:
I met Cliffe this weekend in the airport. He is an amazing person who strives to serve Christ and to be more like him. He is a great role model. Amazing man!
@@The2029isComing The divine initiative. Co-operative grace or Operative grace, as Thomas Aquinas taught? Do you believe faith precedes regeneration or regeneration precedes faith?
@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.
@@The2029isComing nope.

This bloke has genuinely started something in me. I do not really know how to describe it but what I once saw as total lunacy is starting to make sense.
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.
@_The_Traveler_ Brother, I think you have perfectly described my predicament. I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to send me such a message I truly to appreciate it.

@@kcmman9323I’m so glad for you guys. The beginning of my walk was so patchy that I wish I could have a do over, but God has plans for all of us. You’ll come to learn that God is a gracious God, where sin increased, grace abounded all the more.
I’d encourage you to read some of the epistles (the books after acts and before Revelation) after you read one of the gospels. Romans, 1 Corinthians, and Hebrews give you a good explication of the gospel. Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, James, 1 Peter, and 1-3 John give you a good understanding of what the Christians walk looks like. 2 Corinthians, 1-2 Thessalonians, 1-2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, 2 Peter, and Jude have a focus on the church. Of course, they all overlap and reinforce the same message of the gospel, but take some time to chew through a couple of these, it’ll be a great help.
One last piece of advice: don’t rely too heavily on your feelings. The Bible tells us that the heart is deceitful and wicked. If you want to understand faith, Hebrews 11-12 are a goldmine. Faith is the confidence to develop as you gain evidence in something’s veracity (e.g., you have faith in your spouse not to cheat on you). Faith is what gives you the confidence to stand on God’s promises, and to follow Christ’s commands (love God, love your neighbor, spread the gospel).
It can be a lot to take in if you don’t pace yourself, but God will give you the understanding in due time. Just know that we are sinners with no hope of restoring our relationship with God, but Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became a man and lived a perfect life for us. He fulfilled all the law, but died the death we deserved. God placed the penalty of our sins on Him, as it’s written, cursed is everyone that hangs from a tree. Inversely, we receive His righteousness when we repent (admitting to and turning from sin) and trust in the finished work of Christ. You will stumble constantly, but the arm of the Lord is strong and quick to save.
Press on until the end friends. Run the race with gladness, bear your crosses daily, and follow Christ. I look forward to seeing you on the other side of time. For now, take your time getting to know God (if you want to hear Him speak, keep your nose in the Bible). He really is awesome
The young lady with the rainbow sweater was SO open that I felt like the Holy Spirit was really convicting her precious heart.

@@Theo_Skeptomaithe free gift of salvation from sin.
@@Theo_Skeptomai have you genuinely read the Bible?
@@Theo_Skeptomai if you actually read it then your question has been answered. If you actually read it "many , many times", and you still don't know the answer to your question, you're a liar or you're trying to instigate an argument with a total stranger. If you read it you would understand who, exactly, you are according to scripture. If you understand that and continue to deny the gospel, it's way above my pay grade to help you. At this point you're trolling Christians for your pleasure. People that you don't personally know and have zero reason to come at like you are. I'd guess something happened to you in the past , pertaining to Christianity, and this is what you do to feel like you are getting back at whoever hurt you or whatever. Remember, no matter how far away from Jesus you find yourself, turn around and He'll be right there.
Brainwashed? Christians begin indoctrinating their children from birth, baptism before they can consent, Sunday school where they’re told they’ll burn in hell for eternity if they don’t worship God. Forced to conform to religion before any critical thinking skills have developed. Christianity is literally forced from birth onto the intellectually defenseless and you accuse those who don’t agree with that of being “brainwashed”??
These people will cry "believe all victims", and "advocate for victims" then cry and scream and deny victim's stories when it suddenly doesn't align with their narrative. The hypocrisy is ASTOUNDING.
I felt that same sentiment.
News flash, kids, people can say whatever they want. Someone can say that they robbed a bank but it doesnt necessarily make it true. You cant prosecute someone for saying they did something if there is no victim or evidence. If its true then he's evil but we live in a country that requires evidence for prosecution.
Very true. The police wont do anything about it unless there’s evidence especially if it’s based off of something you heard someone admit themselves.
do they think that cops can just arrest someone for saying that? I cant imagine how hard it would be surrounded by such immense stupidity.
No... they think the cops can investigate a crime after someone literally confessed to committing it. Smh. Do you seriously not understand how that works?
They could investigate but they lack evidence to start a whole investigation. They wouldn't take it seriously if there's no recordings or something and more importantly who would believe that a guy openly said he date-r*ped if even these ones didn't believe Cliffe
I really do appreciate these conversations. I am learning how to ask better questions as well as respond more calmly. I admire how you are able to respond and respect the other people in these discussion. I hope to get better at that.
Please pray for me and my children. I know no matter our struggle, We can turn to God our Heavenly Father. Lord please continue to give me strength to overcome my fears. I want to give up and quit because I’m overwhelmed. But I keep faith even as I constantly struggle to take care of my children and I’m constantly struggling to buy groceries. My husband died years ago. At times I feel so alone. I’m a single mom. I suffered an heart attack a year ago and I’m battling lupus so my health is failing. Both of my sons are autistic. I praise you Lord even as I constantly struggling to pay rent. Help me Jesus as I struggle to buy my children’s school supplies because I want to give up. I don’t know how I’m going to get through this, but thankfully I have you Lord! I know you will provide. Faith over fear! Praise God and his son Yeshua!
Hey Tiff, I'm so sorry for your loss and for your situation. I will pray for you Tiff. Please continue to have trust and have faith in our Lord. I too, have my own struggles, but I will continue to trust in the Lord and have faith in Him, now and forevermore.
May the Lord continue to keep you and your children. Amen
God bless you. Youre in my prayers
Praying for your healing, comfort, strength, peace, joy, and financial stability! God bless you and your faith! Your faith is beautiful!

We need more people like Cliff who I just recently came across. He has wisdom and a lot of patience to handle this kind of responsibility. So many college students, while they have have the academic capabilities, lack in real life experiences. The type of indoctrination being taught in colleges is a very dangerous thing. Parents, be vigilant. Find out what’s being taught in these universities. God bless you Cliff!

@@shydalelewis3966 literally like they don’t actually listen to them the entire time he talk they are occupied coming up with a response and therefore put words in his mouth and it’s really annoying but oh well🤦♀️
The welcoming smile and handshake that he gave to that young man also does a great deal. The peace, the happiness, the love that he spreads through Jesus makes such a difference. 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? That light.
@SmellofFemaleAll that matters that you do, is just that you accept His truth. Then from then, you make an effort on growing in Him. By reading His word, starting to pray, just wanting to follow Him. Then you’ll feel him working his magic in you- through your spirit. A beautiful, beautiful thing.
@SmellofFemale We’re all condemned to death. Yes, as soon as we’re born. Sin rules inside of us. Now, Jesus comes into the picture. Sacrifices Himself on the cross and dies with our sins. 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?
@@mr.jay1150His Almight is The One Who Guides you to even be able to do all that, my friend.

Everything is GOD's Voice, owned by Him as His Words. I Believe there is definitely no such thing as something we decide to do and only *_then_* The Lord starts to Help us do more.

God bless this man for the respect and patience he exudes. So many times in this video did i lose my patience and gave into anger and confusion for some of these questions and people.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA this comment is so real. I can confidently say if I were in Cliffes position I would've lashed out at these people and my patience would have ran out😂😂God bless Cliffe and may he grant us the patience that he exudes
I really love how Cliffe ended this one: "Some of you should be squirming right now, because you know very very well that you have never asked, what is the evidence that whatever it is I'm living for is true".
Ironically a question Cliffe should ask himself, as one without strong, logical evidence of a god. (Although it's certainly possible Cliffe doesn't actually believe and is simply living based on the real evidence that he makes money convincing people to believe in this idea.)
@@Dametreee That contains a lot of little, _important_ mistakes.
1. I'm asking for evidence of a god. (Not a creator. We know creators exist; I created this comment, for example. 100% of creators we have evidence of _aren't gods._ )
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.

@@russellbarlow1796 See? No evidence of a god. The most critical _foundation_ to theism, and you're completely disinterested, veering sharply towards other topics. Like truth itself (reality itself; evidence) doesn't matter to you. What did truth _do_ to you to make you dislike it?
Meanwhile, _is Cliffe working another job?_ Almost certainly not. So clearly it _is_ what he makes his living on, and I wasn't even wrong on the topic you veered towards.
@@majm9309Where did the gravitational energy originate from that caused the Big Bang. Because as we both know energy cannot be created it has to come from something already created or existing, you cannot create energy from nothing. So how did it happen without a God huh? You want me to believe what Dawkins and others say about “something coming from nothing” when that hasn’t been replicated throughout all of history again. See the problem with you atheists isn’t even that you don’t believe in a creator, it’s how egotistical and narcissistic you are in your views, let’s do a simple walkthrough of your thought process. You want proof of a God, yet whenever evidence is presented to you you deflect and argue semantic points instead of the actual meat of the conversation. You say you don’t want the Bible as evidence but the truth of the matter is God come down right in front of you, shake your hand and introduce himself while simultaneously fixing all of the world’s problems including your own and you still would not believe in him. You are intellectually, spiritually, and physically dead.
Lewis once wrote, “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pain: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”
I have been watching these videos for over the last two weeks and I’m just completely enamored by the entire exchange, especially with cliffe’s intellect. I don’t know how old the man is but to be still doing this at whatever age that he is standing around for hours, getting berated with questions shows boldness that is very hard to replicate, truly a gift given from God
Free will. Yes. Thank you, Cliff, for your honesty and sharing your thoughts & your life with many that do not agree with you.

Try Frank Turek also.
That guy accusing him of lying is a perfect example of evil. How on earth can someone just randomly assume someone is lying with no evidence?😵💫😵💫😵💫 I know what it's like to be falsely accused of lying. It is utterly astonishing how anyone can accuse a stranger of dishonesty. It is like assuming a truck has no engine because the owner told you the engine has a certain amount of horsepower.

The new kids have the most aggressive stance, but the least amount of evidence. They also become really passive and moldable once confronted. Lol

I first started watching Cliff back around 08/09 and even in that short time the change in students is frightening. So woke is incredible
This is very true. General rule of thumb is, if the camera looks to be a handy cam/video camera quality the students will listen respectfully and POSSIBLY be taught. The clearer the camera quality, the angrier the students get.
Young people now live in a permanent performance. They say what they think they are supposed to. They think, very little.
Cliffe knows that calling the cops on everything illegal that he hears will only address the symptoms. Cliffe is trying to get to the cause, which is sin of the human heart.
Amen!!
Yes, sir, the root of the sin is much worse than the symptoms
right on the money
Cliffe, you are brilliant and clearly have a mind that has been saturated with the Word of God. The wisdom, the compassion, the love you project outwards towards all. And the wisdom is available to you at a moments notice. You see it in the ability to instantly answer these hard questions. Most would answer the questions with the wisdom of the world...or in other words, have no good answer. But your answers clearly come from your love and following of God. Every one of your videos leaves me with something I can take with me and apply to my life. Thank you and God bless you!

@@Theo_Skeptomaiwell if you actually listened, nobody says natural disasters, or death and war are acts of God. Not everything that happens is because he wants it to be
Lost and hurt people, no matter what their belief system, like to blame God for everything. It's goofy, and how can God be to blame for everything when we have free will? Idk why people can't figure out even the most simplistic things 😂
If you're a sinner then you would keep your bank account. Because if you don't need it then you wouldn't have money to support and provide for yourself. Because Cliffe is using lots of different metaphors to prove his point to be right instead of it being the other way around and that's why.
No, they don't blame God. They want God to serve them. They say God if you're real, why can't you fix these atrocities in my life? You see they want a servant of God to fix these atrocities.
But then if God did force himself into their life and fix these things, what do you think they would say next? God you give me no free will you take it away from me.
This is one of the contradictions that they make. If God does, they hate him. If God doesn't, they hate him. This is why God wants us to accept God and come to him to serve.
A true church walks without going into a building and spreads the word
@@Theo_Skeptomai then free will wouldn't make sense, it wouldn't exist. if one has the minimum amount of intelligence one would know that free will is a thing. and free will proves that not everything is the will of God. but you said "theist" so that would only be true if you are not talking about the actual God from the bible, in that case okay that "god" probably didn't give free will to people, yet we do have free will so i think that leaves something pretty clear about what is more reliable.
The last few minutes of this video was excellent!!!!

This was a good one! Thank you and God bless 🙏
This is the first time I’ve taken the time to see a complete video of Cliffe. I admire the man’s strength in the face of adversity. Over the years I understood the importance of confrontation , especially when people challenge and corrupt truth. He might come very strong and direct with the answers, but he has love.
I would had loved to meet such bold man preaching the word of The Lord openly in my school years.
Amen. I think Cliffe is a role model a lot of us lacked when we were the age a lot of these (very angry) students.
There’s a video where cliff debates a professor at a school in the court yard. And he gets asked a lot of hard questions and he respond so beautifully and really breaks everything down evidently
Come to SoCal. Many crimes are committed without any repercussions for the ones who commit the crimes. Not all but most.
I've been listening and watching Cliffe for years. I can honestly say I'm scared regarding how the minds and attitudes of young people have deteriorated. Watch a Cliffe video ten years or older and note the deterioration for yourself. Things are getting worse.

I heard they worship on Sundays only but since Creation the Sabbath is the holy day which God assigned so we can take a rest from daily business and dedicate more time to Him, singing, expressing our great fullness for life, forgivness, patience and everything else He gives us? The 10 Commandments and both Old and New Testaments ara very clear on that. May be we shall study even more profound and accept fully Gods instructions?

Cliffe has way more patience than I would with these people.
"The only reason people who believe in Jesus and his miracles are not automatically classified as nuts is that we understand that they've heard these things described to them as being non-fiction since a very young age, and -- unlike the Santa Claus yarn -- their parents never disabused them of this, because those parents were similarly delusional. We also understand that the story dates from over 2000 years ago, perhaps even centuries before that, so the issue is not as obvious (I know, we're making excuses for ignorance here) as something like Scientology, which grew out of more recent fiction."

I am impressed with what I have recently discovered on my youtube channel with this wonderful method of challenging the youth at college today. We are a small community. God Bless your method.
The fact that they didn't believed that someone did something bad and didn't get punished. They would be surprised about how many people commit sin everyday and dont get punished. The world doesnt give justice that way.
S/O to the black guy being respectful and challenging on the question! That was awesome
Difference between sex and gender is that up until recently (in this last 40 -50yrs) the etymology of the word Gender was used in place of sex to differentiate male/female vs intercourse sex. So gender was used to address biological sex instead of intercourse sex. But there are essentially synonymous. Its not until academia and the introduction to trans/gender ideologies that this was altered to try to distinguish the two
Yes agree they are related. Your sex determines your Gender. That easy!
And John Money, I think.
1:20 "It's not just enough to have faith. It has to be sincere faith."
I agree with Cliffe on a lot of things, and I appreciate his intellect and way of sharing the gospel. Regarding the above citation, it may be worthwhile to clarify that one is saved through faith in Christ, that He paid our penalty for sin, and not through faithful works.
I don't believe that is what he was saying.
Anyone can claim to have faith, it is shown through works as evidence of that living faith. Especially in the broader context of the conversation about Christian hypocrisy. Saved by Faith alone, but faith does not come alone
I think he's not making a faith vs works argument at all, but pointing out there's reasonable faith and then there's nominal, cultural Christianity, where people say a quick prayer, slap a label on themselves and then go about their lives not really trusting in Jesus or knowing the reasons why they should/do.
That's not to say all reasons must be intellectual to be valid. Though Cliff's may disagree on that last point as he leans more to the intellectual side of things.
@@themanthelegend1542James 2 clarifies the importance of works post-salvation, because we don't benefit anyone else with just faith alone, and no one will no we are believers unless evidenced by our works. However, there are many who think works much occur in everyone saved, and scripture implies the opposite.
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. I just think it sometimes needs to be clarified to people the simplicity of scripture, that we are saved by trusting in Christ's sacrifice for our sins.
@@Adam_A_ChristianYes, Cliffe does lean on the intellectual side, and I think a lot of us were drawn to God (and then trusting in Christ) through seeing empirical evidences and logical arguments. However, we also know that the wisdom of men is foolishness to God, and the simplicity of the gospel can be lost pretty quickly if we aren't careful.
I think Cliff does a good job, but it is worth encouraging him to clarify that one is saved by God through faith in Christ, not by our works. It's easy to fall into a doctrine of works salvation, and it helps to specifically include in talks with students that no one is saved by working hard, but is saved through faith that Christ paid our penalty for sin.
@@Adam_A_Christianthank you for the response. I think what you said emphasizes the necessity of clarifying the gospel to unbelievers, that they can't work to be saved.

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.
Sheeeeeesh can I just be transparent right now ? Some of these ppl and their questions 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ what ever happen to logic and common sense….
Great insight into the minds of the youth of America
Sometimes students and young people just plant their feet and refuse to move, refuse to learn. These students knew they had no reason to give you a hard time. Don’t let them get you down. These kids decided they were better and knew more than you, and they clearly had no respect for a very respectable man who had learned more than them, over a long lifetime. The new generation is sometimes unreachable. But I have respect for you for being one of the ones sowing hope, and trying to pass down good sense and ethic.
This is an interesting episode. I had a good laugh listening to Cliffe explaining what gender and sex are to a grown person. Rocket scientists should just start asking people about gender and sex in their interviews
and still, that girl can't understand it.
i watched an late 90's video of cliffes and just seeing the difference in peoples overall intellect is crazy. How people spoke so well and honestly back then, and now they just blabber.
And try to “Win”
As the camera quality improves, the dialogue collapses. You could use Cliffes videos as direct evidence of the downfall of the education system.
Preach Cliffe! Plant the seeds on the good earth along with the rocky soil, the thorns and thistles, and the beaten path. I know you are reaching some of these kids!
My heart has felt so heavy these past few years I’ve lost family members and friends to difficult circumstances. I recently turned myself to God and have moments where I struggle with accepting the blind faith needed to follow Jesus and defend him when people argue about why I shouldn’t believe in him. These videos have been so refreshing that there are truly good people working in the name of Jesus and God’s glory. Thank you for all the work you do.
Have you read Job? Sounds very similar to what you are going through where everyone around you wants you to abandon God. But don’t! He is for you and will always be with you. Pray for more faith in Him. Also, Joshua 1:9 is also encouraging. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
The kids at the beginning have no idea yet what the world is really like.. they have been in school their entire lives and don't understand and haven't experienced how truly evil the world is.
Yes living in sexual immorality is a sinful lifestyle, whether you’re homosexual or heterosexual or any other sexual, it’s a sin not according to me or Cliff but according to the Bible.
True repentance is understanding the severity of sin and believing in Jesus Christ for salvation. Turning from a sinful lifestyle is the result of true repentance, and true trust in Jesus Christ.
I hope you’re physically fit because I can quote multiple Scriptures that call gluttony a sin worthy of death. Gotta love my fellow Christians who constantly gripe about sins of the flesh and the while walking around big as house and thinking it’s not a sin.
@NewCreationInChris896 Well put.
@@Lunchladydoyle I agree that gluttony is considered a sin and people look the other way too much. However, I'm not aware of "multiple scriptures that call gluttony a sin worthy of death." Can you reference a couple of these?
@@Lunchladydoyle you can gain weight from not eating I hope you know that eating isn’t the only cause of weight gain nor is it even over eating it could be quality of food as well
At 20:08. We know where this woman's politics lies. How can Cliffe be a woman just because he feels like it? Did they not teach biology in the school system before she entered university? Her response to Cliffe's question are not her own. She learned this from some postmodernist professor probably in a Gender Studies or Sociology course.
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
Why get caught up over something so trivial as biological nomenclature in exchange for the rest of what life has to offer?
Right. I knew that question was coming. And I def thought “she’s regurgitating what she heard and wants to get that moment to school someone else.” College does this. But it’s because we don’t have a formed identity just yet. We’re still impressionable
@justingary5322 Thanks for the post. The earliest Christian church that pre-dates Catholicism is the Ethiopian church. They also had an early edition of the Bible long before the KJV.
Mr, listen... listen sometimes and be humble enough to acknowledge good points even if it's coming from young people. You don't know everything. God bless 🙏😊
Some students are so dense it's incredible!
The guy at the beginning has the audacity to say Cliffe is lying about a subject and than look as his phone for a majority of the time when Cliffe responds to him.
Cliffe Rocks!
University students are very well verse in how to go on tangents on ridiculous minuscule topics. They have a real hard time following logic though. In the words of CS Lewis “what are they teaching in school these days”
@@Theo_Skeptomai parents should homeschool their kids to prevent things like things.
@@Theo_Skeptomai hmmm... then the parents could warn or inform their children of this kind of thing happening so they could be prepared for it. That's my take at least. I honestly wish I knew more on how to handle this.
Poor America😢😢😢
I love how respectful and loving this man is no matter what you say to him
