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

When that girl at the end said she didn’t care about God. When I was an atheist I also didn’t care and hated God. Crazy to think where I am now🤍 God bless
After I came to Christ I realized that it's only by God's grace we can be at this point because all the stuff I know now still probably wouldn't have changed me into a Christian. It was purely the mercy and grace of God that brought me to him.
@Paul Moody i meant to say i hated the idea of a god existing. like i would say stuff like that just to piss my family off
Succes in your delusion
@Paul Moody i didn’t comment on your post but on the original one, we’re on the same page
@Paul Moody then the obvious question is if you really believe that God doesn't exist why are you calling yourself an atheist? Why do you assume God is just in a book God is everywhere
Anytime a person says "I don't care about God" or "I don't want eternal life" if you, too, feel extremely sad for that person and yet motivated to show them the love of Christ, that must be God's Spirit within.
I can remember back to a time where I also didn't care. Thank God for His mercy and grace!
God wants no one to Perish. Christ Followers should have the same heart. 2 Peter 3:9 Philippians 2:5
@Paul Wieringa Agreed. But God, exists. 'The Certainty of God's Existence'

“That must be God’s Spirit who within.”

Sadly, this generation increasingly thinks that disagreement is hate. So, they cannot be friends with their ideological opponents - in fact, too often they hate them.
This is because people don't think the truth is outside of ourselves, to be freely dialogued over. They think it lives within their identity, so to contradict them is deeply, personally offensive.
This is the greater problem. We are getting close to a situation where controlling debate and disagreement is seen as an act of compassion and virtue. In reality, it'll destroy more than it saves.
As a footnote, another answer lies in the Cliffes and Stuarts of this world. They are an example to all in the way to conduct oneself.
Dude, that's so true. That is why when people debate the end result is nothing but anger :(
I think it's more based on the justifications for bad behavior that religious people used and defend by pointing to their god.
"I didn't decide that God did, and he's perfect."
The common rejection of science is another factor, often picking and choosing which science is real to them, and denying the rest.
HERE IS OUR SAVIOR
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
I think you hit the nail on the head with this one
Believing is the root of all evil so it’s a good thing this generation prefers to think and experience
The devil has lied to these kids in a tremendous way. It’s incredible!! Lord reveal truth to these kids. My goodness they are deceived.
Who has been deceived? I know of absolutely no evidence for devils (or gods for that matter). I suspect that these kids have neither seen one or heard one either. They remind me of the child in "The Emperor has no clothes" capable of thinking for themselves and applying critical thinking rather than believing stuff just because someone said so.
@@paulhadlington8179 witchcrafts real. I was an atheist and then got into witchcraft. I remember during this time I was suicidal, obsessive, depressed and anxious all the time. I saw demons and felt their presence. You might think I’m crazy but there is something more after death. I know this for sure. I called out to God if there even was one and asked Him for a sign. I begged and asked Him for just one sign. That’s all I wanted. The next day I had forgotten what I even asked for the day before. I walked to school, open the doors of the building, and walked in. I was early to class so I decided to take a detour and walk around just to kill time. I walked into an art exhibit at the school, I saw a sculpture of a man and written under it were the words “Jesus will be here soon”. This is when I knew it wasn’t just a coincidence. It was the sign I asked for. From that day on, I researched more about it. I don’t like to be called a Christian, rather I am a follower of Christ. It’s not a religion, it’s a relationship with Him. I have never felt more satisfied, content and reassured in my life before ever since I put my faith in Him. Once you put your faith in Him, you will be reborn with a new heart. That doesn’t mean I am perfect, we will never be perfect. Only God is. I don’t worship Christ because I don’t want to go to hell, it’s because I love Him and He loves me unconditionally. We can talk more if you’d like, I’d love to answer any questions you have. I’m not here to convert you or force you. Besides God doesn’t want us to be forced into loving Him. He gave us free will for that reason lol. Anyways sorry I rambled a bit too much, good day to you.
@Paul Moody no no we have free will here yes but Satan is the force that people recognize more then they recognize God, people see more darkness, power and control then they see light that represents all forms of love in this world & that’s always been Satan’s agenda, our actions are our actions but Satans actions is in a collective group of perspective, manipulation, & deception amongst targeted individuals
@Paul Moody nothing in this world can be made up, even when its imaginary, everything is created and applied upon that creation either through thoughts or actions 🌌
@Paul Moody You just might be confused by the analogy lol its okay you'll get the concept one of these days!! :)
My hats off to Cliff and he’s son Stuart for the amount of patience and the work they done with these people God knows I would’ve lost it lol great job guys I’ve learned so much just from watching this channel thank you
21:11 I pray that the girl finds out that she is so valuable. That God loves her so much, and that’s has so much in store for her.
@Paul Moody yes I’m sure she is love by her friends and family. Well God created us, so He literally offered everything. But He also offered to take our punishment. The wages of sin is death. We have All done something against God. Back before Jesus died, to be forgiven, you had to give sacrifices like sheep, to God, over and over again. But Jesus became the ultimate sacrifice. So all we need to do is ask and receive forgiveness. Again it’s up to you to accept that forgiveness. IF God was real (I’m saying if because you don’t believe in God so I want to speak in your perspective) IF God isn’t real, than love is just science. So our family friends, their love would just be a chemical reaction. But ofc Im sure you love your family and friends, and that it’s genuine. But it can’t be made by science. There has to be a creator. Many atheists believe in the things that make sense and can be proven, like science and things you can see physically. But love is not physical, it’s not science, so what is it? I didn’t want to try questioning your belief, but because you questioned mine I believe I can also question yours. Just the way I can’t give you science facts to prove God’s existence 100%, you can prove to me 100% God isn’t real, because I have had my personal experiences with God, and no matter what anyone tells me, my mind won’t be changed, I’m guessing the same as your mind won’t change about God not being real. I respect you. And I really wish the best for you. All I can say is, my life is better because of God, and His love for me and for YOU is real, even when the world hates Him, He will continue to love. God bless you.
I also want to be fertilizer

Thank you, God, for using these men to help expand my understanding of you, God! I got saved 2 weeks ago because I was tired of living by my own will. My mom died when I was 16, and Im 28 now. I hated God because of my experience with life up til this point felt like nothing but suffering. God, please guide and direct my thinking towards you in everything I do!!! I want to feel your love always!!! I want to see my beautiful mother again!!! She believed, and Im so grateful for that because Jesus promises I will see her again if I believe in him!!!

Mr. Knechtle I love your speaking style and passion. I am beginning to watch all your videos and I am a huge fan. Praise Jesus!
@@mitchellc4 you’re wrong. Jesus is God. God is a triunity. The father, son, and Holy Spirit
I don't search for meaning. I look around and can't believe it was all just by chance. Trees, grass, bugs, animals, rocks, gems, the stars, humans, cats fur, whiskers and eyes, human eyes, our organs... it's just takes too much faith to be an Atheist. As you say... intelligent design demands an Intelligent Creator. You always amaze me with your patience. And now your son showing the same traits. Wonderful
I'm watching these because I love the interactions between humans. Also, I love Jesus. But the way you are able to keep most people intellectually honest amazes me. I'm 39 and just turning my life around now. I can only hope to have such gusto one day. Thank you for the videos. I can't stop watching!
May the Lord transform those 2 lads opposing the gospel into mighty fine preachers of the gospel, in Jesus name!
@Paul Moody it appears sir that your questioning mind has been callused into a certain belief that God is not a good God. Whatever you’ve been through that has caused you pain, God knows about it, and wants to remove it. Putting a wall between you and God isn’t profitable nor is it going to help you, so you can either continue to endure what you are describing, or you can surrender to the One who created us and let him fill you with joy, peace and love and happiness and maybe one day you can be on the other side of a comment such as yours urging that person to rethink what they believe. A holy life isn’t necessarily easy but it is certainly rewarding. If you want to receive the promises of God from the Bible then the sinful life must go. Hence why it is called the sacrifice of righteousness (Psalm 4:5).

You can tell by your fruits and your unique approach that you’re a true man of God, born for such a time as this…in the midst of so much confusion and darkness. I hope you keep up the good work brother, and I pray that God blesses the path you walk! Such an awesome encouragement…feeling pumped!!! Praise be to the most high!

Self-sacrifice works on your depression your self-esteem yourself worth etc. When you help somebody else expecting nothing in return depression diminishes self-esteem and self worth increase. I was horribly abused from age four until my mother passed away two years ago. The only thing that saved me was self-sacrifice. I went into the medical field and worked my heart out for others. I then went into social work due to disabilities and worked my heart out for others. I know that I have done what the Lord wants me to do I believe I was put here to care for others. As soon as I can get out of my house in a wheelchair next week I will be at a soup kitchen or volunteering through a church. I have made a mark on people's hearts and that is my greatest joy along with receiving the love of Jesus Christ!
Hi! What an amazing message. When we truly look at our life, there is a silver lining of God's grace. ❤
Very impressed that your Son is standing with you and supporting the truth he was taught. VERY GOOD JOB as a Father .
Great to hear from you and your son. God bless you.
@@mitchellc4Read John 10:30 and John 14:6
22:38 I have this memory, I must’ve been 3. Parents thought I was asleep. I was going to go in their room to sleep because I couldn’t on my own, but I heard yelling. It scared me. I heard things I couldn’t understand and can’t remember, but I knew they were angry with each other. I sat in the hall, and this is my clear memory:
Why do they keep yelling? I don’t get it. Just hug each other. Stop yelling.
I have another memory. I got older, and I valued my intelligence. In fact, I valued intelligence above all personal attributes a person can have. I reflected on the earlier memory and thought:
Huh. I was so sure I was right at that time, that they could just stop fighting and make up. But that’s not how it works; one of them has to win, then the fight can be over when one of them accepts they lost.
So here I am now. I agree with three year old me. Maybe one of them is right and one is wrong, but it’s RIGHT to make peace, and WRONG to stoke strife. It doesn’t matter if one person is absolutely right and the other is absolutely wrong. They’re both in the wrong for turning a misunderstanding, or a disagreement, into a destructive battle.
Man, I was a wise 3 year old!
The last girl was really hurt about something within her life, I could tell. I’m glad Cliffe realized that and said what he said and how he said. I hope she finds the Truth.
Credit to Cliff. He dives straight into the pit to face the wolves and snakes armed only with the word.
Just a beautiful message on sacrificial love.
It's sad for that young lady. Seems that something happened in her life that makes her feel that way. Thank God for thru Cliff he extended love, acceptance and grace. Because in side that's what we all yearn for.

Thank you!
It’s sad. Jesus says “I love you” and people answer back with “love is just a chemical reaction” Jesus is simple and straightforward, but the world tries to complicate things. I hope people understand God loves, just because He loves us. Not because we deserve God’s love, but because His love is unconditional.
@Paul Moody and this is why, I know you aren’t fully educated on the Bible. There is both the Old Testament and the New Testament. When Jesus died, the old rules, were not longer something we followed. We don’t give living sacrifices anymore right? People can get divorced right? Forgiveness was given to us on the cross, and a lot of the Old Testament rules are no longer followed. The things you say about His love not being unconditional, is also not correct. If His live was conditional, we would not have freedom, or the first sin we committed, God would have sent us to hell already. I never understood why people think like this, God shows us, He loves us, people refuse to love Him, and you think God will allow you in heaven? His home? To someone who doesn’t love God? Hell WASNT made as a threat, Hell is a place that shows us, that apart from God, everything else is evil and dark. Satan was Lucifer once, an angel, but he wanted to be more, he wanted to be God, and God saw his evil heart and sent Him to hell. It isn’t a threat, it is the outcome of being apart from God. You can’t just say “I don’t love God” but expect eternal peace with Him in heaven?
@Paul Moody slavery isn’t even promoted in the Bible, give me a verse to back it up please?
@Paul Moody at the end of the day, there is only to places, heaven and hell. God isn’t making it hard for anyone to believe? The Bible is there, it is up to you to have faith. Without faith you won’t believe, you’ll doubt. Believe me I felt and thought the same way as you. I wondered, so being a good person isn’t enough to go to heaven? Because I would meet really nice people who weren’t christians. But I learned, we are ALL sinners. We all deserve hell. People get offended when someone says “we all deserve hell” but we arent perfect, we arent saints, we have done something against God. So people wonder “why did God make us imperfect and to be able to sin? Wouldn’t he just have to make us perfect so no one goes to hell?” And this is where unconditional love comes from. If God made us these robot type humans who have no choice but to love him, that would be manipulation. Not love. But He gave you a free will. Freedom. So you don’t have to believe in God, it’s up to you. But you can except to go to heaven, or be happy after death if you didn’t wanna follow the creator of everything?
@Paul Moody it is your decision. I respect anyone who chooses (remember you have the freedom to choose which God gave you) to believe or not believe. You wouldn’t alllow a stranger into your home right? If they say “oh I’m a good person let me in” you will still not let them in. God gives us a chance on earth, if we don’t take it when we face Him, He tells us “depart from me I never knew you” the Bible says that. God won’t allow someone who hates or doesn’t believe in Him to His kingdom. And the same with you, you don’t want to believe in God so you don’t want anything that involves God, so hell is a place that God’s presence is not present. But Jesus died for you. He took your sins. The wages of sin is death, and Jesus took that punishment of death (death and also the wrath of God, which Jesus experienced God’s full wrath, since Jesus carried every Human’s sin, He at the moment was not holy), so you wouldn’t. experience the punishment you deserve, that I deserve. People try to find all reasons to not believe in God, but God will always love you. But love does not equal justification. We sin, SOMEONE had to take the punishment. Jesus did. But it doesn’t mean we automatically get forgiven at birth, we have to live for God, which is such a beautiful thing. To know you were never alone, that every day when you wake up, it was God who woke you up, that your breakfast, your education, your family, your health, your room, it’s all blessings. When you realize that blessings are every where, a new way of living will open for you
@Paul Moody it’s your decision to not believe in God. Also you do realize we are all not “good” we have all done something wrong. So we all deserve this eternal agony. But Jesus is offering to give u a better place to be because being non existent is not an option. But AGAIN, your life, your decision. In my eyes yes, other religions are not true, the same way other religions don’t think Christianity is true. It is called respect. I respect you, I respect other religions, period. So if you do not want to believe in God or any god that is fine, but death is something no one can avoid, so I guess you have to find out what’s gonna happen after death. It is YOUR choice. No one is forcing you. I am only here to show you, and tell you that God loves you. You may not see or understand God, it still won’t change that he loves you 🤷🏻♀️😭 God bless

Pretty presumptuous of you to say all of these students are only partying.
Great video and great responses!
I have so many questions for the girl who said “I don’t want eternal life.” What experiences has she gone through to make her say such a thing? What sort of view or interpretation of God and eternal life does she have that would make her think she doesn’t want that and instead would want to just simply rot in the ground after 80 years on earth?
Nice video.

The problem with these young people is that they don’t know anything about respect and humility. That is why they won’t believe or even tried to have to learn about God.
The one young woman who doesn't believe in God is a great example of the unbelievers in hell want to be there. Separated from God. She says she doesn't want eternal life but she's going to get eternal life whether she wants it or not: in hell or heaven. I HOPE SHE CHOOSES JESUS.
@brooklyn again Jesus said that about the people who crucified him, because at that time nobody knew that he was God in the flesh. In this day and age there is more than enough ample opportunity to study the gospels for ourselves to discover whether Jesus was reliable or not.

So you’ve been in prison.
History tells us that Jesus Christ existed, his disciples existed and so did his many followers and early church fathers who are no longer living today.
If most of those people, and the thousands killed since, for their faith, went to their deaths knowing that Christ, and everything he came to accomplish was a lie, then that means “pigs can fly”.
For someone called Jesus to die hung on a cross, suffocating, believing that many would be saved by his sacrifice, and for the evidence of God in life and creation and all the natural “coincidences” that sustain human life on earth, then I’m left with no other option than to see human life as valuable and Gods ultimate plan for humanity, both here and in the afterlife.
@@jamesw6371 wasn’t a great analogy, but they mean that psychology shows people will die for what they believe is true, such as terrorists using bombs strapped to themselves. They believe in what they are doing and are willing to die for it.. happens all the time. But his point is if those people knew Yeshua was lying or didn’t see the resurrected Jesus then the study of psychology shows us they will not be likely to die for what they KNOW is a lie.
@@bumstudios8817 thanks so much for that eloquent response, couldn’t have put it better myself! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I think the "history" that you presuppose tell us that Jesus and his disciples existed is not as rock solid as perhaps you think. 2ndly, Christian persecution is also heavily romanticized quite a bit in the 1st and 2nd centuries. 3rd - there are countless examples of people dying for their faith (Jihadists, Jim Jones followers, Branch Davidians, Heaven's Gate Hale Bopp jockeys). Martyrdom in early christianity was more of a cult response than anything - no different than modern examples we have today. My point is, you need to be more careful with what you assume to be "pig flying" counterclaims.
@@Doc-Pleroma-naut 1st point All those examples you give are of people dying for things they believed to be true. 2 many of the martyrs died 20-70 years after the Christ was sacrificed which means they were made up of eye witnesses to the events who could say it was a lie. 3rd point goes with exactly what you said they went to their deaths believing it was true and we have examples even modern day cults where people die for what they BELIEVE they KNOW is true. 4th point do you have examples of people dying historically or modern examples for something they KNEW was a lie. The argument was psychology doesn’t show people are willing to die for what they understand and know is a lie. Do you have examples of that? Also historians argue over Jesus divinity or the truth of Christianity but it is widely accepted that he was in fact a historical figure. In other words there are no reputable historians saying he didn’t exist. If he existed it is worth examining his life to see if he is worthy of our time and energy the way he lived, taught, and was arose from the dead if not what else is more worthy of your time and energy in life, gaining money? Having as much pleasure as possible? Living for the hustle?
@@bumstudios8817 what more can I say? Thank you 🙏🏽
I’lol a few notes that come to mind...
Instead of people to be honest and just admit that even if it were all true, they want to live their own way and refuse “God” which means they MUST leave their worldly ways behind, they rather want to refute what we believe and sometimes go to such wild and far reaching conclusions to support their arguments. If you don’t believe in Jesus, God and everything else that makes up the core of Christian faith, just say so!
In my honest opinion, it is the conscience/spirit which God put in each person he created that convicts people to get so irate and annoyed every time a Christian says anything, and it is because if they are forced to leave all those worldly exploits of money, lust and all that sinfulness, they must humble themselves before God.
Sadly, the world and most in it are full of pride to even contemplate that they are created in Gods image, made for a purpose and he will ask all to give an account when it’s time. The same way people get annoyed with authority, is in general, their response to God....”I did it my way” as the old song goes.
This is Gods earth and He cares about it very very much. You have to know that! You have to believe that! You have too care as well. So do something that shows that you care too! Please! It is good that you are at least talking about Him and His will for you. Love makes the world go around. ❤️🙏🌈🌎🎶
i aint guna lie sometimes i curse at god when things are goin bad but then i always regret it
The most important reason for God to give us free will, is for true love to exist. Robots don't love genuinely, they MUST produce actions that are programmed in them to look like love. The free choice is what makes it true love. You aren't forced to.
God put limits on Adam and Eve, because a father who puts no limits on his children does not truly love them.
The limit was for their good and holding to God's word was how Adam and Eve showed love to God. That was perfection.
They were materially provided for and immaterially provided for.
The free will to choose to disobey and not disobeying was what made the love between Adam and God perfectly true.
Once he disobeyed, their relationship was no longer perfect and death entered the picture.
Jesus was with the Father from the beginning. In perfect love through the Holy Spirit.
He obeyed and did everything the Father says and does.
Since before the creation and when he entered creation.
Even after Jesus entered creation he obeyed the limits God put on him. Which was bodily limitation, to die before his natural death.
His obedience even to death is what we understand as reconciliation with God the Father's perfect love.
Through Christ, we are perfect in the Father again. Like Adam before he disobeyed.
@@mitchellc4 Obey God who is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Don't be fooled Mitchell, we were made in their image.
There was the Father and the Son before creation. Therefor there was love before creation. Narcissism is not Godly love.

7:10 wow he is amazing how he just made them look like a fool
@Paul Wieringa if u are in a debate and u are wrong and u think u right guess what u going to look like a fool either way the Bible also say u are a fool if u don’t believe in Christ why because if u don’t u loosing you’re soul fool is not a bad thing do u know what the definition of fool is because u don’t sound like u do
@Paul Wieringa the fact that u don’t believe jc lived those people that wrote the Bible they died for it if it was a lie people would not die for what they know to be a lie people would die for the truth not for something they know to be a lie so that give the Bible more credit
But everything the Bible is saying is happening everything that it is saying the only book that predicts the ending
It say animals will die by thousands
Thousands birds fishes other animals die
It also say locust will eat the crops look it up
Famine and pestilence look at covid
It also say human micro chip
Money less currency
It also said u will receive the chip on you’re hand or forehead guess where they want to put it u guessed it
And many more predictions the Bible say that is happening udk because u never read the Bible u just take what other ppl say and go with it I can tell u haven’t read it because if u read it and u see what’s going around u would understand but u blind still but I’m the dumb one right ??? How can u judge a book and haven’t read it but yea I’m the dumb one 😂
@Paul Wieringa and u talking about me being a fool but udk what is the definition of fool 😂😂😂 bruhhhh how old r u to not know what fool means that’s crazy
@Paul Wieringa no people die because they believe it’s true not because they know it’s a lie bro wtf the terrorist kill themself because they believe they going to heaven with many wife’s they don’t kill themself because they know that it’s it lie they die because they believe it’s the truth
@Paul Wieringa
Animals dying by thousands fish washing in the shore thousands dead
Thousands of birds falling from the sky dead
The presidents all talk about one world gov
Bible talks about that
The gov talks about human micro chip
The Bible talks about that
The Bible talks about famines and pestilence
Bible talks about that covid 19
The Bible talks about money less currency
The Bible talks about that
The Bible talks about water turning red
Look it up in China water turning red
The Bible talks about building the 3rd temple in Israel guess what the gov talking about building it
Good will be called bad bad will be called good
Gay is called good
Preaching Jesus people say it’s hate speech
People will hate us the Bible talks about that look up videos of preachers being assaulted and all that
They will call us crazy look videos ppl mocking us making fun of us killing us the Bible talks all about that and many more thing it mention and if u believe it’s a conspiracy well let me burst that bubble back in the day they had no inventions no cars no technology to even know that the future there will be cars or phones they had to walk they way to places they had Sandals they didn’t have stuff like we do there was no way they could predict the technology we would have now
God isn't stepping back, God is in complete control of everything!
21:45 I still don't understand why Jesus had to die to forgive us. There's no connection. Why couldn't God have just forgiven us?
21:50 "Love, real love, sacrifices." Does this mean that I don't really love my parents because I haven't sacrificed anything for them?
22:35 Taking responsibility isn't a sacrifice, it's the beginning of problem-solving.
@B M I will attempt to ignore your grammar in this response and instead focus on the question that you didn't answer. Why did Jesus have to die on the cross? I understand that it's to "pay the fine of sin" but I still don't understand why death was necessary. As God is omnipotent, and this debt of sin was toward God, God could have forgiven it. I don't understand why Jesus' suffering was necessary. And, if sin was such a big deal, why did God place the tree of knowledge in the same vicinity of Adam and Eve in the first place? God's omniscient, so God knew that they'd eat one. If God truly didn't want them to eat it, God wouldn't have created it in the first place.
Also, you told me that, not only do I not love my parents, but that I don't care for them or anybody else. However, this is false, I care deeply about my parents and my siblings. I also love them, but since my definition of love (an intense feeling of deep affection) and your definition of love (sacrifice) are different, then what emotion do I feel toward my family?
@B M Okay, once again you dodged my initial question, but I'll copy it at the end of this comment. By the way, the definition that I was using for love "an intense feeling of deep affection." is the dictionary definition. Another definition provided is: "a great interest and pleasure in something". So, you may want to take your issue up with Webster and Oxford as opposed to me.
However, the problem with your definition of love is extreme vagueness. Perhaps this is only because you didn't define it, but rather gave examples, so would you mind defining it? Until you do, I'm forced to conclude that helping somebody equals love, but here's my counterexample. I have helped out at a food pantry before and I didn't feel an ounce of love (dictionaries definition) toward the people that I was helping. I have also helped family members (in which I love) do things. So, by your definition of love, I love everybody that I'm willing to help (which would be everybody) and that's a ridiculously broad and vague use for such a strong word like love. I would much rather reserve it for people close to me and that I have a personal and deep connection with.
Original Question Repeated: "Why did Jesus have to die on the cross? I understand that it's to "pay the fine of sin" but I still don't understand why death was necessary. As God is omnipotent, and this debt of sin was toward God, God could have forgiven it. I don't understand why Jesus' suffering was necessary. And, if sin was such a big deal, why did God place the tree of knowledge in the same vicinity of Adam and Eve in the first place? God's omniscient, so God knew that they'd eat one. If God truly didn't want them to eat it, God wouldn't have created it in the first place."
@B M Okay, I didn't ask for an example, I asked for a definition. Here's an example. Definition: a statement of the exact meaning of a word, especially in a dictionary. We need to explain our definitions so that we are both on the same page and are able to communicate in an effective manner. The disagreement we seem to have was based on the definition of love. I used the dictionary and you used a different source. I just asked for something more concrete that we can work with. As for my responses, they will go as follows.
1. No, I'm saying Jesus didn't have to do anything for our sins, why would he? What does it do? And, if it just forgives us, why couldn't God just do that without Jesus dying.
2. If God didn't intend for Adam to sin, and Adam sinned, then God made a mistake. (And I say God made a mistake because God is an omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent, perfect, spiritual being. Nothing can oppose God's will because God has the power to stop it and the knowledge that it would happen. Also, I do recognize that both Adam and Eve made mistakes, I'm merely suggesting that God also did). If God is capable of mistakes, then God is not perfect and then God's definition is no longer accurate. However, if we ignore this and continue with the definition that God is still an omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent spiritual being who is not perfect, then why should I trust God's word as absolute truth? This leads to the bible. You say that the answers to my questions are in the Bible and perhaps I should read more of it, but why should I take the Christian Holy text as opposed to all of the other ones? The Kitab-i-Aqdas, Tipitaka, Bhagwat Gita, Ved, Upnishad, Quran, Sunnah, Jain Agamas, Book of Mormon, Kebra Nagast, Holy Piby, Kojiki, Fudoki, Guru Granth Sahib, and Zend Avesta to name a few.
Here's an analogy for the Garden of Eve. Imagine you have two young kids. Now, pretend you have to leave them unsupervised for some reason (perhaps you have to go to work). Now, you have some tide pods in the house and you recognize that they would kill the kids should they eat them. Would you, A) Set the colorful box on the table and tell your kids to not eat them, or B) Place them completely out of reach of the kids? God did the former in the Adam and Eve story and I don't understand why.
That Asian girl just irks of skepticism negativity and pessimism
I pray. Im sure she's lovely.
But she has to realize noone is forcing her to do anything just as noone was forcing her to stop and asking questions. Was she asking for.answers or did she engage in a pointless conversation where she already put the answers in the questions she asked?
In all, we have the cross, empty tomb and resurrection. The evidence stands on it’s own. The greatest news to ever touch the ears of man kind
@Paul Wieringa confusing? It’s clear
@Paul Wieringa I have read the Bible for over 25 years. I have not seen one contradiction. There are events described by separate eyewitnesses. What event is a contradiction?
@Paul Wieringa Jesus was born before the death of Herod. Why do you assume Luke is speaking of the same census event? Records do exist to show that Roman-controlled Egypt had begun a census as early as 10 B.C. The Census Luke is referring could have been earlier. Possible multiple census could have taking place. Luke implies 1st, which raises question if there were others. I would not consider this as a contradiction. Just fuzzy and uncertain historical timeline
How do you answer that ? His
Answer was absolutely .
How many times does that guy have to say the word “altruism?” Lol
The boy said our lives had been life span longer. When the Old Testament clearly says no one will live longer than the age God had intended from the start. They really are challenging for answer already being answered except God's love which they still harden their hearts to let it.
Respectfully, the responses from these young people tells me that colleges are failing. Critical thinking is lost on today’s generation. This is the same reason why Bernie was able to convince young people that socialism is a good thing. These kids are taught what to think instead of how to think. The Hindu gentleman seemed like the one of the few that put thought into his responses even though his arguments ultimately fail.
Have Faith in God people. It's that's simple. I have watched over many videos of this. People just don't wanna have faith in God. They'll give a million reasons not to have faith in God.
Pretty good stuff!! Sounds like they aren’t reformed with respect to Gods Sovereignty, I’d be interested to hear them lovingly debate that with a fellow brother in Christ!
What makes you say that?
Some of these kids forever learning and never coming to the knowledge of truth....
As the Lord said, professing to be wise they have become fools .
This guy is good
10:19 First off, our brain operates like a computer, factoring in input and resulting in an output. This makes us robotic to a degree, we must also factor in emotions and social understanding. This being a depressing existence is irrelevant and isn't a counter to the fact. Subjective feelings and value judgements don't override factual information.
@Paul Moody I don't understand, what do you mean? Please enlighten me. I don't recall any section of my comment cutting off the endocrine system. In fact, referencing the brain also references the majority of the endocrine system. However, if I am going to be specific about hormones and such, they help form the equation of human behavior.
I've watched many of these now and one thing I have noticed is that Cliffe tends to talk over someone when he really doesn't have a good answer for a point someone is making.
The opportunity to create copies of Himself, made possible through the utilisation of the tempting powers of Satan, is something that could almost be deemed too irresistible for God to resist.
Seeing ahead with His great foreknowledge, God knew that if He created the angels, it would ultimately result in a fall in heaven.
But by casting the fallen ones to be amongst us, we could gain the necessary character, via overcoming their temptations, to make it possible for God to actually change us from mere men, into God like creatures, such as Jesus Christ.
From caterpillar to butterfly.
From mortals to immortals.
From men to Gods.
But the fallout would be great because many would side with the satanic rebellion and perish.
And also the carnage reeked by Satan such as wars , disease, and the death of the innocent, needed to be factored into the equation.
But even though God knows all this, nevertheless He goes ahead and executes His plan to create mankind, knowing full well that its success will also depend upon Him becoming the baby in the manger, Jesus Christ, and eventually die shamefully nailed to the Roman tree of execution.
As we with our puny efforts try to rationalise the destruction of the innocent ones, not forgetting the children that Herod murdered in Bethlehem, we are faced with the inevitable conclusion that God will not abandon His justice.
And that somehow He will more than adequately compensate.
It’s wonderful to realise that there is a love for us that’s at this incredible level.
There’s no love that can compare to it.
God does all this for us because He loves us.
John 3:16
King James Version
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM!
Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings!
Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21
Jesus said the Father is the only true God!

God can’t die!
God raised Jesus from the dead!
@Paul Moody I think many of us have at one time or another, shared your view or similar to it Paul,
However we don’t any more. Satan is not just a fantasy. He actually does exist.
God used Satan by letting him become the tempter he wanted to be.
Those who overcome the temptations via the help of Jesus Christ go on to gain Everlasting Life.
They actually become sons and daughters of God.
But those who foolishly oppose God, and there’s plenty of them, with many forms of this opposition, atheism being one of them, are those who are going to go rapidly down the tubes to destruction.
Let this old man give you a piece of advice.
Your most important asset is your life. Don’t unwisely throw away the gift of eternal life by not doing your homework. It’s there for the taking.
If you don’t seek you won’t find. Protect your life. Look seek listen read watch investigate as if your life depends on it, because it does.
I recommend that you watch truck loads of NDE’s. near death experiences.
The link below is a video I did on the subject of predestination.
It explains the Satan deal. Maybe you might find this interesting. Who knows. Good luck.

That’s started in the garden. We have to go to the very beginning. :-)
I don't understand why everyone is assuming that chemicals being the source of emotions and neurons being the source of reason make those things less valuable. It's the cause of emotions or reason, it doesn't take anything away from them.
Because he first loved us
The gene of love? What crap are these college students being taught?
I wonder!!!!
I don't know if I'm watching this video to learn or to just watch Stuart speak 😊🙈
20:30 I don't think he's seeing her point. I think what she's trying to say, is that wanting to go to heaven is a subjective decision, not objective.
20:43 "If you want to be fertilizer, I would say that's sad. Because you are more valuable than fertilizer" Subjective and emotional, not logical nor objective.
21:11 "But I don't want eternal life." "Well, then you can change, don't worry." This response is refusing to see her point yet again.
"Going to heaven is good" is a subjective value that many religious people treat as if it's an objective fact. They refuse to see that there is nothing objectively important about going to heaven, it would just be more pleasant, which based on a personal desire for pleasure as opposed to pain. For example, it doesn't objectively matter if I go to heaven or hell. However, it would matter to me, which is subjective. Her argument is saying that there's no objective reason why we ought to try and go to heaven.
Willy Wonka who in their right mind would want to go to hell?
@@howardmanley3388 Ask yourself why. Why do you want to go to heaven as opposed to hell? My guess is that your answer will be that heaven is more pleasant. Then I'd ask, why does it matter that you'd feel more pleasant? Any answer to this is based on your own feelings. Feelings are subjective. Therefore, the desire to go to heaven is ultimately subjective.
Now, your point seems to be that everybody wants to go to heaven, which may be true. But, there's a difference between a bunch of people collectively agreeing on something subjective and what's objective. Thank you for the question.
Willy Wonka the question I asked speaks for itself who (in the right mind ) would want to go somewhere unpleasant? ...✅
@@howardmanley3388 Are you even reading my responses? I've said numerous times that that assertion is based on subjective criteria, but you haven't said anything about my point. Why? I am really trying to have a positive discussion with you, but you're not accepting my point, which is fine, but then please address my point and explain why it's invalid. You haven't.
And, the question doesn't speak for itself in the way that you seem to imply that that's it and there's no more discussion.
@brooklyn again Alright, bud, if you want to convert an Atheist, you must start with a baseline/foundation. Something that both parties can agree on. I understand that you believe the Bible is 100% correct, but I don't. Therefore, referencing it has no effect on an argument with me. Perhaps you could explain why the Bible is accurate or begin with an intuitive concept that's easy to grasp. From there, make logical progress toward a conclusion. If you can do this without making any fallacies and starting with something I agree on, you will convince me.

I am so heart broken. All I hear is “I just want to keep having hook up sex, swipe right, porn etc” they wanna have fun NOW knowing they will pay later. It’s like credit cards, you gonna swipe NOW knowing you have to pay later but you JUST WANT that item NOW!
