Nothing can come of nothing. I am sure these know it deep down but to deny God is convenient for those who want to live selfish, hedonistic lives. Man is arrogant in his folly.
Look at how intelligent and open to reason the youth were. They respected their elders even in disagreement on sensitive topics. Even their patience and attention spans were longer. God have mercy on our youth in this generation
With a degree of respect, Arney, if you wanted to brainwash someone, you get 'em young. Imagine we had opposing beliefs - if I was to reason with your younger self, would you have the confidence to challenge the authority I spoke with? Had you time to develop or discover the answers to the paradoxes of your position that I presented you with? Would you have been more vulnerable to manipulation? Oh, and diet. If you want to brainwash someone, another method is to restrict their diet. No meat protein, no salt, no sugar, no neurostimulants like coffee or garlic. Incidentally thats a requirement to hang out on the HariKrishna retreat :)
@MINDYOUROWNBUISINESS I'm having a hard time understanding your point. Are you implying that the college students couldn't have had enough critical thinking to disagree?
@@arnoldh2275 Thanks for clarifying! Not exactly my implication, but sorta. All I was -really- saying is that youth is vulnerability, no matter what perspective you're exposing it to. Theres an old war proverb from Blighty that goes something like "Much can be made of a Scottsman, provided ye catch him young enough" If we had opposing viewpoints, and I was your senior, you'd be at a terrible disadvantage to disagree with me. I'd have had years to practice my rhetoric, and my age would give me authority and confidence that could sway, no matter what my position was. Discussions between people of roughly similar experience will probably get closer to the truth of the matter, rather than an elder 'challenging' a junior to refute him! :)
I gotta say, this might be the first abortion discussion I’ve seen that didn’t devolve to screaming, insults, or everyone collectively chanting out “my choice!”. I give props to those kids. They dug into the topic respectfully, listened to what he had to say without interrupting, and most importantly remained civil the entire time.
I mean they are at harvard if there were people at Harvard doing that I would highly highly question the level of prestige the university seems to always get praise for Giga Chad
I love it how these teenagers always quote cases like "what if the mother was raped? what if the mother's life is in danger?" Yet, they didn't know that they are wired (by media) to always say these scenarios but yet they didn't know that more than 90% of the abortions are reasons of inconvenience, be it financial, social or lifestyle.

@@RobReedMusic A person who believes what Cliffe and other apologists say do not use critical thinking skills., so I'm guessing you'd fall under that category of people. Tell me what the BS is on Mythvision Podcast. Do you believe that Derek and others who have researched their belief and are now ex Christians were never Christians to begin with, since they questioned their god? And why are they horrible arguments of Christianty? Is it because you've vowed never to question your faith, and will believe all of it without any critical thinking?
This makes me both sad and happy at the same time. Sad because these kids and a lot of these Gen Z are so lost. What has happened? Why have so many turned away from God? What makes me happy is to see this man being unafraid to speak the truth and try to help these lost kids. I pray that God works through this man and brings them to know God and the truth.

It's fascinating to hear how much passion some of the students have when it comes to demanding proof for Jesus yet, they take so much junk info from mainstream media, social media as well as modern education (that they pay for) blindly as true. I admire their passion but it needs to be applied to all areas as well. thank you

I can confess it with my mouth but when it comes to believing in my heart I find that problematic. I am unable to believe that God raised Jesus from the dead without having a tangible reason to have that belief. The only other alternative would be to try to somehow force myself to believe it but that would be false belief as opposed to true belief, right?

I was really angry at God after the death of my mother. A wise pastor told me to tell God that I was angry at Him and why, and to keep telling Him till I wasn't angry anymore. So simple and it worked. I raged at God for weeks, months even. After many many sessions of crying and screaming and yes, swearing at Him I started to have the sense that I was like a toddler screaming at my parent, while He was waiting patiently for me to get it out of my system. The anger left, the tears remained, and He wiped them away one by one in the years to follow. I learned to truly trust Him. I learned that He is good. Tell Him that you're mad. He can handle it. What He doesn't want is your silence. God bless you dear one.

What a revolting human being to listen to, 5mins of that guy is like 5 hours of ear rape condensed. My fave skep-tubers are AronRa and Anthony Magnabosco (nearly polar opposites).

@@Theo_Skeptomai in the sense of accuracy, allow me to correct the record on this issue. As always, people like AronRa can't help but make things up when it suits them. The quote (in its entirety) is as follows: "We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority." The REAL reason for opposing these things being taught is that it left open the very real possibility that it would simply replace one dogmatic belief structure with another one. There was absolutely NO mention of concern that these thinking processes would "lead people away from God and their eternal salvation. " This is simply made up.
What a guy. God is using Cliffe to battle the enemy with his own tactics, its awsome! These young people are filled with second guessing and doubt. But i bet days weeks even months or ears in there life they will continue to think to them selves, "What if that guy at my campus was telling the truth?" And the signs and life expiriences they WILL have will line right up with what he taught them😂❤. Planting seeds in fertile ground! Good job brother!
I used to think it was weird and egotistical of God to want to create billions of souls to worship him, until I further explored the definition of worship. In a way, our pets worship us. Is it derogatory to the pet, when the pet shows us love? When my cat looks up to me, his provider, and has nothing but love and appreciation for me, I feel in my heart what God wants to feel from us. Is it egotistical of me to want to spend time with and cherish my cat which loves me? Even more so if I had created my cat from dust and breathed life into him, it would not then be egotistical of me to hope that he loves and thanks me. Is it derogatory to us that we wish to spend time worshiping and appreciating God which brought us forth from non existence? God is not creating an army of slaves, but a loving family, into which you have been invited.

I never seen and heard someoen bring up points like that. I’ve heard from other ppl what pro-choice ppl debate about. It was horrendous listening to them and Cliffe brought up good points. I’ve never done my research for pro-life arguments not pro-choice but hearing this was enough. And it boggles me how some men can be such loud activists for abortion rights. Like wth, 🤦🏻♀️ but then again why do men fight for pro-life? Cuz they care about life too.
Cliffe has been handling these college students masterfully... He approaches them gently... and more like a father figure or a professor. They're easily offended and he is in the epicenter of wokeness! He does a great job navigating his way thru that! Which is difficult enough... let alone the most controversial topic in world history..."Religion!"🤔
Love his commentary about Jesus not being wrapped in an American Flag, Not Replubican, Democrat, etc.. Many of my white fellow believers want to believe Jesus looked European. We can all identify with him (in various ways) but it’s important not to force Him into societal boxes that make us feel better.
And I ironically hear a lot of white non Christians accuse Christianity being a white straight man’s oppressive agenda. Even some white ppl have openly said they hate white ppl… what is that? 🤦🏻♀️
Always loved watching this over many many years. So pleased to see it continuing and recordings made available. What a blessing. Could watch for hours!! May many truly hear snd believe.
If you can't accept the fact that it's impossible to wrap your mind around an all powerful God who requires no creator, what on Earth makes you think you can wrap your mind around the creator you think God needs.
Every prophet account is the word of the Lord came to them, with a vision or dream, usually with a mission to accomplish in regards to Israel, but also the nations around them and the earth. If you have observed the Scriptures, you have observed his written speech, and his plans, and his intentions, and his qualities. Since we do not travel backwards in time, we're not expected to be witness to things that already happened in the scriptures, were expected to understand that those events took place in reality, in linear historical time. And understanding that pattern of Sound words, in the stretch of time, has real patterns. But the fact of this being God , commissioned certain people, should be a relief, to not all be called to be prophets, or apostles anymore. Jesus said, no prophet is accepted by his own people. And why, because they will argue with what God has to say ,when he has something to say, and want to artificially say things he doesn't have to say, because people want clout, but God primarily has no partiality or respect for humanity. And I wouldn't either if when God actually does have something to say, people shoot his messenger because they hate the message.
God sent his Son Jesus into the world and people hurt his Son. People are assholes. And Jesus is coming back with wrath for his vengeance on the unbelieving world. They thought that killing the Son of the God who says, vengeance is mine, was the smart thing to do. "Then they shall know", is a terrible statement God made towards mortal man. Who does not know what time day hour.
@@Theo_Skeptomai but I guess I would say in my personal life, that his mercy and power has changed me, challenged me, and also saved me. For me to telltale, feels uncomfortable, as its not what's important. But as proverbs suggests really trying to inquire and find knowledge about his prophecied entry, understanding that he fulfilled them, and the wisdom for him to do that through the span of his time on earth, is profound.
@@Theo_Skeptomai it doesn't really matter what you think is the evidence, because yeah I know my experience with you doesn't matter, because in the end it's what God has said in his word. Ephesians 1:6-7 "To the Praise of the glory of His grace, by which he made us accepted in the Beloved." "In him we have Redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace" Romans 10:11-13. For the scriptures say whosoever believes on him will not be put to shame." "For theres no distinction between Jew or Gentile, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon him." "For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." You need to understand that, your understanding of evidence is wrong.
What I love about Cliff is not just his excellent arguments and how he lays them out, but his good character that really shines through in each one of these videos. I believe that example of what it means to be Christ-like is what's so winsome, of course he has to have God arguments too, and he does, but few would listen if he came off arrogant or pushy. I've yet to see him lose his cool. And I think that really speaks volumes, hopefully more of these students charter his claims. Btw, it's good to see his son following the same example, as well.
19:35 - Yes, God is a spirit. However, *Jesus is now **_eternally_** in a **_tangible_** body.* Not a flesh and blood body like our current body of death, but rather a glorious, eternal "spirit body"...and one day, our resurrected body will be a glorious, spirit body like Christ's! _It is an exciting and fascinating topic to ponder!_
I still remember some of the words I heard from you when you were preaching at Calvary Baptist Church in NYC. I am very glad to have come across the UA-cam videos of you ministering to young people in outdoor gatherings.
For a bunch of college kids, they sound completely ridiculous when it comes to their arguments on human life. Literally got second hand embarrassment hearing them struggle to present their “points”.
That phrase: put your faith in Christ and not institutionalised Christianity is SO true. Many sadly with reason in many cases despise church institutions. Oswald Chambers said similar. I would carry a load of New Testaments with you AND copies of My Utmost for His Highest to give away and challenge them to read both over a year.
indeed, it's a highly contentious subject and one that is well worthy of discussion, I'm in the UK, abortion is generally accepted here, i know that in the US, the supreme court have more or less overturned the Roe v Wade statute, and it's caused a big outcry from women especially who view it as an attack on their human rights.
@@bonnie43uk How do you feel about abortion? I’m Christian, but I can’t stand when people ban it. I don’t think it helps anything. It just causes more division. I think if both sides of the argument buckled up, we could reach an ultimatum. If people wanna go abort their child, that’s their decision. The problem I have is the dehumanization of the unborn child. That can be a slippery slope
@@cryptinflame4308 thats a great question CryptinFlame, unfortunately, there is no simple solution to the abortion issue, I would not say I am in favor of it in that respect, but the truth of the matter is, it's an unfortunate fact of life that women/girls find themselves pregnant against their wishes for any number of reasons, and they will go to any means to try and stop the pregnancy. In todays modern society we have pills we can take to terminate the pregnancy in it's early stages, I do not regard a human egg thats been impregnated by a male sperm as an actual "human being", .. we can call it potential life, but I feel the woman should have dominion over her own body, I am very much pro choice in that respect. it's generally accepted that terminating a pregnancy in the later stages is much more problematic, as the fetus becomes much more human like, very few people are in favor of late term abortions. I'm in the UK, and abortion is pretty much accepted as part of life, we have strict guidelines as to when it can and cant take place, it's not the same in the USA after the supreme court denied women the right to have control over their own bodies, and yes, it only makes matters worse as i see it. There is no perfect answer, but giving women the right over their own body is better than taking that right away from them. The supreme court has effectively forced them to give birth against their wishes.
When I was 4 years old,my father lost his job. Soon after our family was struggling financially, so my parents chose to kill my brother. Three years later, when I reached age 7, my parents made me wear his clothes to school in order to save money.
On a more realistic note..... a number of years ago I was in a bad way with a bank over my mortgage and one of the ladies from the bank that used to call me up and harass me was talking about my 4 children and asked me why I had children anyway if I couldn't afford them? I asked her what kind of question is that?? Most of those children were born when I had a great job and was doing very well, now that I don't have the same job and am not doing as well what am I supposed to do, kill them????
“If you pay attention, when you are seeking something, you will move towards your goal. More importantly, however, you will acquire the information that allows your goal itself to transform. A totalitarian never asks, “What if my current ambition is in error?” He treats it, instead, as the Absolute. It becomes his God, for all intents and purposes. It constitutes his highest value. It regulates his emotions and motivational states, and determines his thoughts. All people serve their ambition. In that matter, there are no atheists. There are only people who know, and don’t know, what God they serve.”

That's fine if Cliffe wants to put all his faith in Jesus Christ, do I have the free will to say "Thanks, but no thanks"? or will Jesus punish me for saying no thanks because I don't see much credible evidence for him?, and I don't agree with this concept of someone dying for my sins? I would not ask anyone to suffer for my wrongdoings, that seems wrong to me. My wrongdoings belong to me and it's up to me to confront my own misdeeds.
I completely understand, but Jesus loves you enough to do all of that for you. He didn't have to, but He wanted to. He wants you to admit you have sinned and give your sufferings to Him, so that He can help you live a better life. I would encourage you to read Ecclesiastes, please. It's a beautiful book about life having meaning.
@@GodIsLove-JesusIsGod it doesn't make much sense to me Godislove, I would much rather take ownership of my own wrongdoings, and accept the consequences of my own actions, it teaches us that our actions have consequences on others, I've often thought that a loving God could mete out instant punishment for our wrongdoings so that we would realize that our actions have consequences, God himself would know the exact level of punishment. My parents used to dish out punishment in various forms when i did something wrong as a child, it would very much depend on the misdemeanor, as i said, God would know the exact level of punishment.
@@bonnie43uk I can promise. That you DONT want to take your own punishment. That punishment that you are willing to take is literally ETERNAL NEVER ENDING DEATH IN HELLFIRE. Our sin is so serious God came to suffer and give his life on the cross to SAVE YOU. And he’s calling out to you RIGHT NOW❤. That is Love, God gave you a FREE gift of ETERNAL LIFE and the creator of the universe wants a relationship with you specifically. He created you and knows you completely. Confess sin, repent, and believe to be saved. Just ask God to reveal himself to you and seek him by reading the Bible
@bonnie43uk If you want hell God respects your wishes, no need to continue with the same rants on a Christian channel. It just baffles me that you would keep banging your head against the wall expecting different answers. Why not just forget about God and wait for death to see if it's all true? Your life revolves around God and you're too foolish to realize it, you've been on this channel for years arguing against a being ypu don't believe exist, that's insanity. That's why the bible says a fool says in his heart God doesn't exist, you are a prime example. If you would humble yourself and truly seek the Lord, he will reveal himself to you. One day God will require your soul, you will have 0 excuses on why you didn't believe. Doesn't matter how much evidence is given to you, it's an issue of your hardened heart. Pray one day the Lord opens your eyes to the truth.
@@Kmf_Jahh Hi Sheep, it's not really a question of wanting to take my punishment, it's more a case of owning up to my own wrongdoings and realizing that my actions have consequences on others, and that we all need to be aware that we're capable of doing wrong things, but also accepting that we're going to make mistakes in life through our own selfishness and greed, and that we can hurt others in the process. If I wronged you Sheep, it would be right and proper that I took ownership of my "sin" as you would call it. It would feel totally wrong if someone else came along and said "I will take the punishment for this mans wrongdoing" Can you see where I am coming from? I dont think anything I've done would warrant eternal never ending death in Hellfire as you put it, eg: so, after 100 billion years of me being in eternal hellfire, that would be equivalent to about 1 second in hell, eternity goes on for trillions upon trillions of years, its insane to think of any sentient being being punished for an amount of time that is beyond human imagination.
I recently had major foot surgery. There is a three month recovery period under modern medical care. I can testify that post-op is extremely painful and I have no ability to walk or put any weight on it without at least the use of crutches and strong painkillers.There is no way Jesus fainted on the cross, then woke up three days later and simply wandered around being seen by others for 40 days. My surgery was under anaesthetic and took 3 long hours by a trained surgeon. Jesus feet were hammered into a wooden post with a metal spike by a Roman soldier. His resurrection, not only the waking up from the dead, but also being completely recovered from a Roman crucifixion 3 days previously, is evidence to me that Jesus was more than some radical preacher who said some cool things fighting against an occupation.
You're making this too easy for me Cliffe. This is the oldest trick in the book. The answer is the third option, I don't know. I don't have to know because I am not the one making the affirmative claim. You have asked those lovely people to do the impossible, to prove a negative. The real question is yours to answer since you have made the affirmative statement "God exists". Where is the evidence that God exists?
There is a lot of it but the most obvious evidence is that moral truth is real and non-material. Evolution and materialism cannot explain morality, if it did Genghis Khan would be the moral standard.
Atheists don't seem to realize that even the smallest bit of matter is too complex to be an accident. Even if we discover a bit of matter that is only one thing and not a machine, that bit would still have to be complex enough to be able to form everything.
No, cliff believes in MICROevolution look it up. There is a difference between macro and micro evolution.

All I was -really- saying is that youth is vulnerability, no matter what perspective you're exposing it to.
Theres an old war proverb from Blighty that goes something like "Much can be made of a Scottsman, provided ye catch him young enough"
If we had opposing viewpoints, and I was your senior, you'd be at a terrible disadvantage to disagree with me. I'd have had years to practice my rhetoric, and my age would give me authority and confidence that could sway, no matter what my position was.
Discussions between people of roughly similar experience will probably get closer to the truth of the matter, rather than an elder 'challenging' a junior to refute him! :)
The love of Christ is flowing from this man it’s so amazing
TRUE !
I gotta say, this might be the first abortion discussion I’ve seen that didn’t devolve to screaming, insults, or everyone collectively chanting out “my choice!”. I give props to those kids. They dug into the topic respectfully, listened to what he had to say without interrupting, and most importantly remained civil the entire time.
I mean they are at harvard if there were people at Harvard doing that I would highly highly question the level of prestige the university seems to always get praise for Giga Chad
I love it how these teenagers always quote cases like "what if the mother was raped? what if the mother's life is in danger?" Yet, they didn't know that they are wired (by media) to always say these scenarios but yet they didn't know that more than 90% of the abortions are reasons of inconvenience, be it financial, social or lifestyle.
So true!!!

@@EddieSchultz62 There is a lot more BS on Mythvision, but I do recommend Mythvision podcast -- it helps one to crticially think and be a skeptic of the skeptics with the rehashing of many horrible arguments against Christianity.
@@RobReedMusic A person who believes what Cliffe and other apologists say do not use critical thinking skills., so I'm guessing you'd fall under that category of people. Tell me what the BS is on Mythvision Podcast. Do you believe that Derek and others who have researched their belief and are now ex Christians were never Christians to begin with, since they questioned their god? And why are they horrible arguments of Christianty? Is it because you've vowed never to question your faith, and will believe all of it without any critical thinking?
This makes me both sad and happy at the same time. Sad because these kids and a lot of these Gen Z are so lost. What has happened? Why have so many turned away from God? What makes me happy is to see this man being unafraid to speak the truth and try to help these lost kids. I pray that God works through this man and brings them to know God and the truth.

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD JESUS and believe in thy heart that GOD raised him from the dead thou shalt be Saved 🙌
@Our Savior what? I have no idea what you are saying. I understand the fruit part , yes after salvation we will want to do works for him

@Our Savior yep , you are fine
I can confess it with my mouth but when it comes to believing in my heart I find that problematic. I am unable to believe that God raised Jesus from the dead without having a tangible reason to have that belief. The only other alternative would be to try to somehow force myself to believe it but that would be false belief as opposed to true belief, right?
@@JohnCashin I can confess it with my mouth.
I don't believe that GOD raised JESUS from the dead. Why would you be able to confess it with your mouth then if there is no belief? You sound very confused 🤔

I was really angry at God after the death of my mother. A wise pastor told me to tell God that I was angry at Him and why, and to keep telling Him till I wasn't angry anymore. So simple and it worked. I raged at God for weeks, months even. After many many sessions of crying and screaming and yes, swearing at Him I started to have the sense that I was like a toddler screaming at my parent, while He was waiting patiently for me to get it out of my system. The anger left, the tears remained, and He wiped them away one by one in the years to follow. I learned to truly trust Him. I learned that He is good.
Tell Him that you're mad. He can handle it. What He doesn't want is your silence. God bless you dear one.
Get em Cliffe! God speed!

@@Theo_Skeptomai Quoted verbatim by mr AronRa. Did you have any links you wanted to share with me? I've been watching some clips of DarthDawkins. What a revolting human being to listen to, 5mins of that guy is like 5 hours of ear rape condensed.
My fave skep-tubers are AronRa and Anthony Magnabosco (nearly polar opposites). ThereminTrees and his network is a really good one for education on critical thinking too...
Anytime. People. Question. God. In a bad way. And don't believe in him. It makes. The devil. The biggest lier. Cause people don't get what they want from God. So they say. Bad. Things about him. He no micro. Wave. Push button. You have to have a good relationship with God. Love him. Don't put him on a shelve. And use him his ways are higher than our ways
@@Theo_Skeptomai in the sense of accuracy, allow me to correct the record on this issue. As always, people like AronRa can't help but make things up when it suits them.
The quote (in its entirety) is as follows: "We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority."
The REAL reason for opposing these things being taught is that it left open the very real possibility that it would simply replace one dogmatic belief structure with another one.
There was absolutely NO mention of concern that these thinking processes would "lead people away from God and their eternal salvation. "
This is simply made up.
What a guy. God is using Cliffe to battle the enemy with his own tactics, its awsome! These young people are filled with second guessing and doubt. But i bet days weeks even months or ears in there life they will continue to think to them selves, "What if that guy at my campus was telling the truth?" And the signs and life expiriences they WILL have will line right up with what he taught them😂❤. Planting seeds in fertile ground! Good job brother!
Put your faith in Jesus Christ! Glory to Lord Jesus, thee alpha & omega 🙏
I used to think it was weird and egotistical of God to want to create billions of souls to worship him, until I further explored the definition of worship. In a way, our pets worship us. Is it derogatory to the pet, when the pet shows us love? When my cat looks up to me, his provider, and has nothing but love and appreciation for me, I feel in my heart what God wants to feel from us. Is it egotistical of me to want to spend time with and cherish my cat which loves me? Even more so if I had created my cat from dust and breathed life into him, it would not then be egotistical of me to hope that he loves and thanks me. Is it derogatory to us that we wish to spend time worshiping and appreciating God which brought us forth from non existence? God is not creating an army of slaves, but a loving family, into which you have been invited.

I never seen and heard someoen bring up points like that. I’ve heard from other ppl what pro-choice ppl debate about. It was horrendous listening to them and Cliffe brought up good points. I’ve never done my research for pro-life arguments not pro-choice but hearing this was enough. And it boggles me how some men can be such loud activists for abortion rights. Like wth, 🤦🏻♀️ but then again why do men fight for pro-life? Cuz they care about life too.
Cliffe has been handling these college students masterfully... He approaches them gently... and more like a father figure or a professor. They're easily offended and he is in the epicenter of wokeness! He does a great job navigating his way thru that! Which is difficult enough... let alone the most controversial topic in world history..."Religion!"🤔
Love his commentary about Jesus not being wrapped in an American Flag, Not Replubican, Democrat, etc.. Many of my white fellow believers want to believe Jesus looked European. We can all identify with him (in various ways) but it’s important not to force Him into societal boxes that make us feel better.
And I ironically hear a lot of white non Christians accuse Christianity being a white straight man’s oppressive agenda. Even some white ppl have openly said they hate white ppl… what is that? 🤦🏻♀️

@@Theo_Skeptomai have you ever observed a sound wave? Or a radio wave?
Every prophet account is the word of the Lord came to them, with a vision or dream, usually with a mission to accomplish in regards to Israel, but also the nations around them and the earth. If you have observed the Scriptures, you have observed his written speech, and his plans, and his intentions, and his qualities. Since we do not travel backwards in time, we're not expected to be witness to things that already happened in the scriptures, were expected to understand that those events took place in reality, in linear historical time. And understanding that pattern of Sound words, in the stretch of time, has real patterns. But the fact of this being God , commissioned certain people, should be a relief, to not all be called to be prophets, or apostles anymore. Jesus said, no prophet is accepted by his own people. And why, because they will argue with what God has to say ,when he has something to say, and want to artificially say things he doesn't have to say, because people want clout, but God primarily has no partiality or respect for humanity. And I wouldn't either if when God actually does have something to say, people shoot his messenger because they hate the message.
God sent his Son Jesus into the world and people hurt his Son. People are assholes. And Jesus is coming back with wrath for his vengeance on the unbelieving world. They thought that killing the Son of the God who says, vengeance is mine, was the smart thing to do. "Then they shall know", is a terrible statement God made towards mortal man. Who does not know what time day hour.
@@Theo_Skeptomai but I guess I would say in my personal life, that his mercy and power has changed me, challenged me, and also saved me. For me to telltale, feels uncomfortable, as its not what's important. But as proverbs suggests really trying to inquire and find knowledge about his prophecied entry, understanding that he fulfilled them, and the wisdom for him to do that through the span of his time on earth, is profound.
@@Theo_Skeptomai it doesn't really matter what you think is the evidence, because yeah I know my experience with you doesn't matter, because in the end it's what God has said in his word.
Ephesians 1:6-7
"To the Praise of the glory of His grace, by which he made us accepted in the Beloved."
"In him we have Redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace"
Romans 10:11-13.
For the scriptures say whosoever believes on him will not be put to shame."
"For theres no distinction between Jew or Gentile, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon him."
"For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
You need to understand that, your understanding of evidence is wrong.

What I love about Cliff is not just his excellent arguments and how he lays them out, but his good character that really shines through in each one of these videos. I believe that example of what it means to be Christ-like is what's so winsome, of course he has to have God arguments too, and he does, but few would listen if he came off arrogant or pushy. I've yet to see him lose his cool. And I think that really speaks volumes, hopefully more of these students charter his claims.

For a bunch of college kids, they sound completely ridiculous when it comes to their arguments on human life. Literally got second hand embarrassment hearing them struggle to present their “points”.
That phrase: put your faith in Christ and not institutionalised Christianity is SO true. Many sadly with reason in many cases despise church institutions. Oswald Chambers said similar. I would carry a load of New Testaments with you AND copies of My Utmost for His Highest to give away and challenge them to read both over a year.
I was just scrolling through the comments and saw yours. I was wondering, just what is institutionalized Christianity?
The conversation drifted into an abortion debate. Haven’t seen Cliffe touch on that topic much
The responses were so good
indeed, it's a highly contentious subject and one that is well worthy of discussion, I'm in the UK, abortion is generally accepted here, i know that in the US, the supreme court have more or less overturned the Roe v Wade statute, and it's caused a big outcry from women especially who view it as an attack on their human rights.
He will give the same answer, we all have value. 😊💕
@@bonnie43uk How do you feel about abortion? I’m Christian, but I can’t stand when people ban it. I don’t think it helps anything. It just causes more division. I think if both sides of the argument buckled up, we could reach an ultimatum. If people wanna go abort their child, that’s their decision. The problem I have is the dehumanization of the unborn child. That can be a slippery slope
@@cryptinflame4308 thats a great question CryptinFlame, unfortunately, there is no simple solution to the abortion issue, I would not say I am in favor of it in that respect, but the truth of the matter is, it's an unfortunate fact of life that women/girls find themselves pregnant against their wishes for any number of reasons, and they will go to any means to try and stop the pregnancy. In todays modern society we have pills we can take to terminate the pregnancy in it's early stages, I do not regard a human egg thats been impregnated by a male sperm as an actual "human being", .. we can call it potential life, but I feel the woman should have dominion over her own body, I am very much pro choice in that respect. it's generally accepted that terminating a pregnancy in the later stages is much more problematic, as the fetus becomes much more human like, very few people are in favor of late term abortions. I'm in the UK, and abortion is pretty much accepted as part of life, we have strict guidelines as to when it can and cant take place, it's not the same in the USA after the supreme court denied women the right to have control over their own bodies, and yes, it only makes matters worse as i see it.
There is no perfect answer, but giving women the right over their own body is better than taking that right away from them. The supreme court has effectively forced them to give birth against their wishes.
Hi brother Cliffe!

When I was 4 years old,my father lost his job. Soon after our family was struggling financially, so my parents chose to kill my brother. Three years later, when I reached age 7, my parents made me wear his clothes to school in order to save money.
What?????
So your parents killed your 7 year old older brother.
On a more realistic note..... a number of years ago I was in a bad way with a bank over my mortgage and one of the ladies from the bank that used to call me up and harass me was talking about my 4 children and asked me why I had children anyway if I couldn't afford them?
I asked her what kind of question is that?? Most of those children were born when I had a great job and was doing very well, now that I don't have the same job and am not doing as well what am I supposed to do, kill them????
“If you pay attention, when you are seeking something, you will move towards your goal. More importantly, however, you will acquire the information that allows your goal itself to transform.

It regulates his emotions and motivational states, and determines his thoughts. All people serve their ambition. In that matter, there are no atheists. There are only people who know, and don’t know, what God they serve.”

That's fine if Cliffe wants to put all his faith in Jesus Christ, do I have the free will to say "Thanks, but no thanks"? or will Jesus punish me for saying no thanks because I don't see much credible evidence for him?, and I don't agree with this concept of someone dying for my sins? I would not ask anyone to suffer for my wrongdoings, that seems wrong to me. My wrongdoings belong to me and it's up to me to confront my own misdeeds.
I completely understand, but Jesus loves you enough to do all of that for you. He didn't have to, but He wanted to. He wants you to admit you have sinned and give your sufferings to Him, so that He can help you live a better life. I would encourage you to read Ecclesiastes, please. It's a beautiful book about life having meaning.
@@GodIsLove-JesusIsGod it doesn't make much sense to me Godislove, I would much rather take ownership of my own wrongdoings, and accept the consequences of my own actions, it teaches us that our actions have consequences on others, I've often thought that a loving God could mete out instant punishment for our wrongdoings so that we would realize that our actions have consequences, God himself would know the exact level of punishment. My parents used to dish out punishment in various forms when i did something wrong as a child, it would very much depend on the misdemeanor, as i said, God would know the exact level of punishment.
@@bonnie43uk I can promise. That you DONT want to take your own punishment. That punishment that you are willing to take is literally ETERNAL NEVER ENDING DEATH IN HELLFIRE. Our sin is so serious God came to suffer and give his life on the cross to SAVE YOU. And he’s calling out to you RIGHT NOW❤. That is Love, God gave you a FREE gift of ETERNAL LIFE and the creator of the universe wants a relationship with you specifically. He created you and knows you completely. Confess sin, repent, and believe to be saved. Just ask God to reveal himself to you and seek him by reading the Bible
@bonnie43uk If you want hell God respects your wishes, no need to continue with the same rants on a Christian channel. It just baffles me that you would keep banging your head against the wall expecting different answers. Why not just forget about God and wait for death to see if it's all true? Your life revolves around God and you're too foolish to realize it, you've been on this channel for years arguing against a being ypu don't believe exist, that's insanity. That's why the bible says a fool says in his heart God doesn't exist, you are a prime example. If you would humble yourself and truly seek the Lord, he will reveal himself to you. One day God will require your soul, you will have 0 excuses on why you didn't believe. Doesn't matter how much evidence is given to you, it's an issue of your hardened heart. Pray one day the Lord opens your eyes to the truth.
@@Kmf_Jahh Hi Sheep, it's not really a question of wanting to take my punishment, it's more a case of owning up to my own wrongdoings and realizing that my actions have consequences on others, and that we all need to be aware that we're capable of doing wrong things, but also accepting that we're going to make mistakes in life through our own selfishness and greed, and that we can hurt others in the process. If I wronged you Sheep, it would be right and proper that I took ownership of my "sin" as you would call it. It would feel totally wrong if someone else came along and said "I will take the punishment for this mans wrongdoing" Can you see where I am coming from? I dont think anything I've done would warrant eternal never ending death in Hellfire as you put it, eg: so, after 100 billion years of me being in eternal hellfire, that would be equivalent to about 1 second in hell, eternity goes on for trillions upon trillions of years, its insane to think of any sentient being being punished for an amount of time that is beyond human imagination.
I recently had major foot surgery. There is a three month recovery period under modern medical care. I can testify that post-op is extremely painful and I have no ability to walk or put any weight on it without at least the use of crutches and strong painkillers.There is no way Jesus fainted on the cross, then woke up three days later and simply wandered around being seen by others for 40 days. My surgery was under anaesthetic and took 3 long hours by a trained surgeon. Jesus feet were hammered into a wooden post with a metal spike by a Roman soldier. His resurrection, not only the waking up from the dead, but also being completely recovered from a Roman crucifixion 3 days previously, is evidence to me that Jesus was more than some radical preacher who said some cool things fighting against an occupation.
You're making this too easy for me Cliffe. This is the oldest trick in the book.
The answer is the third option, I don't know. I don't have to know because I am not the one making the affirmative claim. You have asked those lovely people to do the impossible, to prove a negative.
The real question is yours to answer since you have made the affirmative statement "God exists". Where is the evidence that God exists?
Fácil! Resucitó entre los
Muertos al tercer día 😊
There is a lot of it but the most obvious evidence is that moral truth is real and non-material. Evolution and materialism cannot explain morality, if it did Genghis Khan would be the moral standard.
Atheists don't seem to realize that even the smallest bit of matter is too complex to be an accident. Even if we discover a bit of matter that is only one thing and not a machine, that bit would still have to be complex enough to be able to form everything.
Cliffe does not believe in the written word from God.
He believes in evolution.
Crazy person above, just ignore.
He makes compromise to keep the conversation going. Although it is folly for sure. Genesis is true.
@Justin Gary listen to him speak about evolution. He doesn’t hide this about his beliefs.
No, cliff believes in MICROevolution look it up. There is a difference between macro and micro evolution.
MICROevolution is non controversial it is the variation we see due to the variety in the genes of the parent organisms. Look at a Bear 🐻 for example there are many different TYPES but NOT different in KIND so you have polar, panda, grizzly BUT They’re all still bears. Macro evolution is The change of KIND like a fish evolving into a monkey. Now that’s straight bologna 😂
@@Kmf_Jahh I may be wrong but it seems I remember him debating a student and agreeing with evolution as taught in every public school in the United States.
I think he also believe the Earth is billions of years old.
I like listening to your conversations. Thank you for sharing them with a larger audience. I also like pausing and doing some homework . It’s given me so much to look for.
Very compassionate!!!!
These students learn more from Cliff than they do from all their professors put together. The men and women of God, by the grace of God, solely thru the Spirit of God are the wisest teachers on the earth.
Here's the thing. He is our God. All of us and even those who reject Him. Unbelief doesn't affect God.
Have you Cliffe? Ever hear what “Presuppositional Apologetics” is and what are your thoughts?
