Program 3423 ................... - Bible - Faith - Money ..............
Recorded at The University of North Florida - October 2023
Join us in person for a Sunday service at 9:30amET at Grace Community Church located at Grace Farms (365 Lukes Wood Road New Canaan CT, 06840).
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.

my quick testimony started with a question that I asked myself and that question was : " i refuse to believe that the militaries and politicians of this world are the highest authority in all existence, who is the highest authority? " Eventually I received the answer, God is Love and Jesus Christ the Son of God is the highest authority, and I'm His disciple.
Amen!
He is the greatest! My question that led me to Christ was one actually in the Bible. My English teacher told us about how Jesus' condemnation came about and when he quoted "what is truth?" I knew I had to find the answer, and that answer is Jesus
Amen 🙏🏽
AMEN
AMEN!
Cliff has helped me so much in my walk with Christ!
Exactly, I had alot of doubts about God’s reputation so I prayed to God to show me the truth and wisdom to lower the doubt I have about him. So he gave me a video introducing me to this gentlemen named Cliffe Knechtle. And Cliffe has made me get closer to God with signifcantly less doubt now. All praise to God ❤

"If there is NO moral GIVER, then WHO will set the STANDARDS for MORALITY"
Subjective human beings decide based upon an agreed upon set of ethics what we deem to be morally good and morally bad. Some of us can do this without the unnecessary step of adding a supernatural deity into the mix.
Any other questions?
By the way, if there were such a thing as objective Morality, it would exist regardless of whether or not there was or was not a deity.
@@RobertSmith-gx3mithen you have to accept that the opposite of all the standards set by society or an individual are equally moral and acceptable, which is a lifestyle that all fail to live out. You cannot justify objective moral law without a moral law giver who is spaceless, timeless, personal, and eternal.
@@RobertSmith-gx3mi Great, so it is subjective then. So when a person like Hitler comes along and says it is good to kill all the jews then that has just as much value of your opinion that he cannot.
In history, humans decided that it was a moral right to own slaves. So according to you that was not objectively evil. You just were born in a different time period and decided you now have the correct idea of what is good and evil. What a bunch of nonsense.
I don't know who you think you are that you can just decide what is good and evil for other people while the psychopath doesn't get the option to decide that killing is good without losing his freedom. If your idea of morality is really subjective then that just makes you evil for thinking you are above other people.
@@JB-ku7uz I agree. I do not believe there is objective morality nor do I believe in the existence of objective moral law giver.
If you do believe in an objective moral law giver and objective morality, I will respect your subjective opinion on the matter.
@@RobertSmith-gx3mi there’s a massive problem to that however. We can flat out change society’s morality either quickly or in a generation or 2. America is now a perfect example of a society’s morality failing. We are now giving children the same drugs we give to prisoners who are charged with either CP or R and renamed them as “puberty blockers”. Another there was a story of a man who simply cracked his fingers the usual way, and someone saw that and called it a “white suprematists” symbol. The man’s life was literally ruined because of it. Another is people who aren’t doing anything with their life because of mental disorders/issues should we let them live? In mein kampf, one of the arguments was “remove all resources to the non-desirables, and give it all to the people who are healthy.” A lot of people believe in that today. Heck even others are saying “if you disagree with that statement, then it’s harassment/hate speech. I will never trust society because it has massive amounts of problems with it. Just look at the 10 years of America after the late 2000s. They decided to make one of the greatest experiments in the west, remove Christianity, and change it with atheism. How well is that going? Watch David wood’s on about Atheism I think you’ll like it.
cliff is one of the most relatable preachers ever. Thank god with cliff ❤🎉
I can listen to yall talk forever
about thirty seconds is long enough for me
thirty minutes u meant
Its gotta be so upsetting to someone trying to stump cliffe when he comes back with “yes!! I love your line of thinking thank you”. Great job boys keep it up!
God bless this man. God bless Connecticut.
That Diana of ephesus was so interesting. Thank you for bringing that up! I absolutely love ephesians, but understanding more context is always so cool.
I pray schools will change and people will review why our youth are being educated that Israel is the oppressor and the Palestinians are oppressed. Taking God outta schools and the Pledge of Allegiance has only hurt our country. Im thankful knowing that you gentleman are trying to fill that void. I witness, but im researching and studying so I can be a better witness. I will always give my testimony and tell people how much God has done for me. But I wanna be prepared and be able to answer more questions. Praise God. He saved even me❤🕊️👑

I love when Stuart goes off on historicity @ 22:00 min in. How we brought James into it was beautiful. I use that evidence in some of my encounters as well, but picked up new ammo. Thank you!
& archaeologically
Are you stating that you are aware of _evidentiary facts_ that can _demonstrate_ the historicity of Jesus?
Like... Are you asking for archeological evidence of Jesus' existence? @@Theo_Skeptomai
@OneBoundMusic I am asking for ANY evidentiary fact. Are you not aware of what constitutes as _evidentiary?_
@@Theo_Skeptomai The eyewitness accounts of the four Gospels.
Now, "God I think," before you go on trying to endlessly debate me on the reliability of the Gospels, I have a question for you. What is your end goal in this debate?
Yes Amen because Jesus Christ and Our heavenly Father are always number 1 . We have them in our lives life is full of meaning.
Love seeing the students taking selfies with Cliffe!
So perfect 👌
*I'm 71 now and have read only the exact same copy of the King James Bible my church gave me in 1961. (This does not mean I was a King James onlyist but now I'm glad I never read any others or I might not have noticed the changes as quickly.) I had memorized many scriptures from it through the years. Then in 2014 I started seeing changes in it that I couldn't explain. I have an exceptional memory, for instance I can draw a detailed picture of my baby stroller. I had never owned a computer or heard of the "Mandela Effect" back then. But after being given my first computer in 2016, I finally found out why I had been noticing all of the oddities that I couldn't explain. I then started diligently studying what should actually be called the ''Daniel 7:25 Effect''. That's where God said He would give the antichrist the power to "change times and laws'' which we now know meant (history and scripture plus laws of physics). We're seeing many end times prophecies being fulfilled SUPERNATURALLY! This is some of the "lying signs and wonders" that God told us He would give the AC power to perform which would even deceive His very elect, if it were possible in 2nd Thessalonians chapter two!*
*God said in the end of days, (NOW!) that He would send us a famine for hearing His word in Amos **8:11** and that He would give the antichrist the ability to do this in Daniel 7:25. In Daniel 12:4 & 12:9 He told him to seal his book until the end days. He told John **_not_** to seal his book because the end time is at hand in Revelation 22:10. One of the Greek definitions of seal in Strongs concordance is “to protect from Satan”. He also told us to write His words in our hearts, which meant memorize, if not word for word at least the essence of what was written, because He knew this was going to happen.*
*God commanded us to "prove all things", and people **_better_** obey Him, especially on this subject. I urge you to research this. There are many Brothers and Sisters making videos about the changes with more proof of what was originally written and I have lots more about this in my playlist 👉 which can be found by typing in ( proof of bible change residue junkie )* 👈
*I've continued to study scripture and have grown MUCH closer to Jesus by learning what Satan has been changing. Soon Amos **8:12** will be fulfilled too, and the only way it can happen is by not being able to see these videos that document what used to be written in our bibles.*
*_May God bless all who read this with eyes to see this incredible faith strengthener, and how close we are to our Saviour's return!!!!_*
❤✝️💪
*P.S. After people have taken all of the required 💉's, they will apply a quantum dot invisible tattoo to their head or hand, but anyone who has had just one has a bluetooth mac # that can be read by any smart phone and when you walk through the deal at an airport they know if you have it. The no buying or selling is happening incrementally and will be complete when cash is abolished and worship can be defined as "to fear, obey and trust in someone or something" which is what they are doing with the Beast System and the Image of the Beast, (NWO and TV!). They also now have triple helix DNA, are no longer human and if they have children they won't be human either! Yes, this absolutely is it, and👉 if you write me at the address on my about page👈 I'll send you 15 **_shocking_** films that will PROVE it to anyone who has the courage to watch them.*
Praise YHWH!

Yes
Evolution is a process of gradual change that takes place over many generations, during which species of animals, plants, or insects slowly change some of their physical characteristics. ... the evolution of plants and animals. Cliff and his son should take science class when they visit a college or university or at least use Google like I just did.
"Evolution is a process of gradual change that takes place over many generations"
Adaptation is gradual change within kind/species as Genesis 1 has said from God's infallible word, macro-evo is theoretical unproven, unscientific nonsense faith of fallible men
But NOBODY takes issue with the fact that there is much variation within living things or that speciation occurs. But what you don't have is any kind of fundamental change into, period. What we actually observe are neutral and deleterious changes (some of which can be beneficial under special conditions), but no novel traits or information arises. Evolution in the Darwinian sense is a belief-a religion; it is NOT science. All the little changes we actually observe add up only to death. Net loss ≠ novel gains. And the single most essential element in living things is... information. And in 100% of empirical experience, we discover that the only source of complex, coded, specialized information, is... a mind. Chemicals don't produce information. Chemicals can produce patterns, but not information like what we discover in 'the Book of Life', also known as DNA.

Morality necessitates God. If something is declared evil, it logically assumes good exists, necessitating moral law to differentiate good/evil, necessitating moral law giver (the triune God); there’s no meaningful morality from a godless worldview of an unguided/blind/pitiless/indifferent universe (R.Dawkins) born from chance/chaos/nothingness/unknown/stardust (C.Sagan) where a rock in the road is as valuable as a person, made from the same theoretical primordial material......
There are tens of thousands of Christian missions around the world that feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, and take care of the poor. So I wondered how many atheist missions I could find on the Internet. I typed in atheist missions and guess how many came up? Zip. I tried to search words, “atheist feed the poor” nothing. I wonder why that is?
theyre too busy TELLING people how good they are, lol
Yes and yes to both answers here!!!
if you type into a search engine "non Christian charities", you will find quite a few major charities. These are secular non religious charities. I donate to Oxfam every month, they are one of the biggest charities in the UK, check them out.
@@bonnie43uk Non Christian charities doesn’t mean atheist. I’m asking for an ATHEIST LED charitable organization not agnostics or a few atheists here & there who donate to charities.
@ronwan1408 Let's get to ACTUAL FACTS. Are there _any_ atheists who give to charities? Yes or no.
I don’t know what I like more…. When they are talking to Christians or when they are talking to nonbelievers 🤷🏿♂️…..🗣️ I LOVE IT ALL🙌🏾👆🏾🙏🏾
Very good point by Cliff here. If there is no God what are you living for & who says that whatever purpose you choose is the correct one?
I'm living because i have a desire to live, and I'm living to help those around me who are not as fortunate as me, I don't believe we are born with a specific purpose, as a child I can't ever recall my parents telling me "your purpose in life is . . . .. " Think about it ronwan, if you happened to be born in India and raised as a Hindu, what would you're purpose in life be? .. to worship the Hindu God? Or, think about those North American Indian tribes who lived on the American continent long before white Christians ever even heard of America, what was their purpose in life?
@@bonnie43uk And since there is no God, according to your world view, how do we know that what you’re living for is morally acceptable?
@@ronwan1408 ????, how is it morally acceptable for me to help people less fortunate than me? that makes no sense.
@@ronwan1408 you didnt answer my question about people who are born in places where they either worship other Gods or lived on a continent before white Christians came along. What is their purpose ronwan?
@@bonnie43uk Because without a creator or anyone who is the standard of morality then it’s all just a matter of opinion. I’ve said this to you many times already.
I'm sorry I had to stop watching after about 7 minutes in. I really do try my hardest to listen to christian preachers and apologist but literally everything they say is a lie. Dont get me wrong they are good speakers but that is how they get you to buy into there BS. I ask everyone to actually listen to what they are saying and think about it critically, skeptically and withba open mind and you will be able to see right through them. Just think of them as glorified car salesman except they are trying to sell you there beliefs.
" literally everything they say is a lie."
Is that subjective opinion/feeling/exp or objectively true to reality?
1a)If subjective opinion, why should we listen to it as true to reality?
b)Do we blindly “take your word for it” in faith?
c)Have you ever made a mistake?
d)How do you KNOW you’re not making a mistake now?
2)If objectively true to reality, it logically requires an objective (Existing independent of or external to the mind; actual or real) foundation for your claims….do you have one?
"I ask everyone to actually listen to what they are saying and think about it critically, skeptically and withba open mind and you will be able to see right through them. "
Like evo is "critically/open mindedly" thought out as they ASSUME morality, meaning from a godless worldview of an unguided/blind/pitiless/indifferent universe (R.Dawkins) born from chance/chaos/nothingness/unknown/stardust (C.Sagan) where a rock in the road is as valuable as a person, made from the same theoretical primordial material?
Unable to explain WHERE life came from, how the universe started, but "we cannot allow the divine foot in the door" (R.Lewontin)?
@@robmc120 It is objective truth to the reality we know of and not some mistical magical realm that we know nothing about. Baseless assurtions with no evidence to back up the claim. If you want people to take christianity seriously then you need to have novel testable predictable evidence for the assurtion that there is a God. If we had evidence for the fact that God was real then we would not need faith because it would be a fact. Everyone on earth would know who, or what, god is and would not be exercised with faith.
1. Its not subjective when I have facts on my side that show how absurd your holy book is.
a. Sorry I dont have faith. Faith is the excuse you give when you dont have good reason for your belief. Faith is gullibility and unreliable.
b. Of course I have made mistakes, but I learn and grow from them and make myself a better person for myself and those around me. I dont need a higher power to tell me how to behave.
c. How do I know if I am not making a mistake now? Well I dont but I will go off the best evidence and research that I can find and I always have room for error or correction because thats what science does. It gets new ideas and formulates new hypothesis to gain a better understanding of our reality or to better enhance the wellbeing of humanity.
2. My objective foundation is base on demonstratable, repeatable, testable predictions based on the available evidence. I have seen good evidence for a higher power or a cause for the existance. Yes there are arguments but arguments are not evidence.

hi cliffe and Stuart! Not sure if you’d see this message, but we’d love to have you over here on UPenn and Drexel’s campus!!
Wow cliffe! U must b so proud of your big boy.. God bless 🙌 in Jesus name, amen... (sory 4 calling u a boy brutha) love ❤️ your faith, God bless u 2 and all ur family and friends, amen...
Been trying to get these two to come to my college for a while now. Hope they respond! Sent Stuart an email today and on Feb 1st
I'm not on board with Cliffe and Stuart's egalitarian view of church governance but still love them for their amazing work
I found that part interesting too, but unlike you, I didn't hear them advocate for egalitarianism. What I did hear was "be careful."
The texts are addressing different things. I think Cliff is right on the money talking about women abusing their newly found spiritual freedom by possibly getting chaotic in worship... but then later Cliff says there's a time and a place for a woman to serve in the church: and prophesying appears to be one of them.
What is prophesying? Speaking the Word of God in truth. We English speakers tend to only think of prophesy in terms of fortune telling where one person has secret knowledge that no one else has, but when we say things like "Jesus will come again to judge the living and the dead"... that is a prophesy that is found in God's Word. When we speak those words we are foretelling a future that God has told to us. It's not a secret known only to use, and it does tell the future, but only because God has revealed that part of it already.
We can also study other books such as 1st and 2nd Timothy as well as the life of Jesus. Who were Jesus closets followers and teachers after his ascension? The 12 Disciples (minus Judas)... all of whom were men.
Who were the deacons appointed in the Church of Acts? 7 men of true faith.
Who were all the foremost leaders of God's people in the Old Testament? Almost without fail, men. One example only I can think of: Deborah the Judge and possibly Miriam the sister of Moses acting as a praise leader.
If it were God's plan to have women regularly serving in the office of the pastoral ministry, teaching from the front of the church, we'd see some very clear text regarding it. Instead we see many passages granting roles to each sex: men as leaders and teachers; women as nurturers and supporters. Both have a role to fulfill, and in many ways both are hard-wired genetically to be better at one role. Doesn't mean that CAN'T do the other role, and women do sometimes step up when men fail, such as a family where the man doesn't go to church but the woman goes and takes the children. However, for optimal success, we ought do what our physical design and the Word of God say: and the two of those are in agreement.
True, we see figures like Phoebe and Lydia mentioned in the NT, but they are the exception and not the rule. Generally speaking, we must go with the rule rather than argue from the exception. Might there be a time and place where a woman can and should by God's design teach men? I won't totally rule out the possibility, but we're not going to use two example where it DID happen to contradict the hundreds of times it DIDN'T happen. It would certainly be a highly unusual circumstance and one where absolute caution would be necessary. Too often we see "progressive" churches headed by women and/or the lead pastor is heavily influenced by a woman. That's not to denigrate women. Women are wonderful servants of Christ. It's simply to speak the Word of God as it was spoken to us rather than alter it to fit modern sensibilities.
@sidwhiting665 yeah you just advocated for the complimentarian view (men and woman have certain roles) but I've listened to cliffe for a few years he wouldn't squarely fit egalitarian but leans more that way

Thank you Cliff, son and Team! I am so grateful and enriched with these discussions.
21:30 Joseph Smith fell as a prophet, but let’s not mock the Plates, because I’m still waiting for proof that the Book of Mormon is not true based on its content.
The Isaiah translation errors found in the Book of Mormon match the original KJV’s, and they were included on purpose since that was the gold standard for Protestants and God knows all.
Looking at the Urim and Thummim in a hat, actually makes sense. Joseph Smith was innocent at one point, but failed with the sins of man like polygamy, and trusting others like Sydney Rigdon.
There can't be a concept of right and wrong without a concept of value, and there can't be a concept of value unless we were created with a purpose.
Hey @askcliffe! Please can you add scripture that supports the guidelines to define a Christian @18:50. Thank you!
Paul is referring to the Genesis when God cursed Eve with pain in childbearing (Genesis 3:16), not to a Gnostic cult. This can be inferred from the previous two verses:
_For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor._ (1 Timothy 2:13-14)
The child bearing most likely refers to being born again. In other words, she will be saved by being born again, if she indeed continues in faith and proves herself to be a true believer (even though she was deceived first):
_Yet she will be saved through childbearing-if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control._ (1 Timothy 2:15)

hi sir cliffe i would like to asked about the 10% offer to god and give it to the house of god but until now i don't know where church i will offer it or can i give it to who needs as a offer to god
Cliffe please answer the question of Mathew 24: 36? Im a bit confused there.😢
Cliffe expresses his incredulity that rationality cant come from non-rationality but doesnt explain why and also believes rationality just exists eternally for no reason in god.
@warriorgp4640 he's accepting that the rational mind of God exists eternally, without cause, and without evidence. Yet he's rejecting the idea that conciousness is an emergent property of unconscious matter and energy which is the theory that has made all of the advancements in nuerology, psychology, biology, medicine, etc... he doesn't explain why he rejects the theory that makes all the testable predictions
What does cliff say about lent? Something a lot of people participate in, but for someone that’s not quite sure. What is lent?
Darkness is not created. Rather it is the absence of light.

Good and Evil require a Higher Being to classify the two. However the existance of Good and Evil in no way argues against the reality of evolution.
Please define what YOU mean by the term 'evil' and present an example.
@@Theo_Skeptomai There are different schools of thought on the nature of Evil. For instance some hold that Evil is not a thing unto itself but merely the absence of Good, as Cold is merely the absence of Heat. Another school of thought is that Evil is a more tangible thing other than merely the absence of Good. The truth of the matter is certainly over my head.

Is Cliffe still preaching? I want to hear there own doubts they have.
I would love to see a debate between Cliffe and Neil deGrasse Tyson.
I was raised Christian but became an atheist and agnostic from 2017-2019 as a teenager dealing with mental health issues until I started reading my Bible again after my music teacher gave me his red Bible I read it from Genesis to Revelation. I would call Cliffe Knechtle and his family heroes because people like that look out for believers and unbelievers alike as human beings whether they agree, disagree or disrespectfully disagree. AMEN most people aren't looking for The Truth but feeling better or superior to others🙏👊❤️. We're all sinners trying to do Good or Evil in our actions and intentions. After reading The Bible in it's context I realized that The 7 Days of Creation in Genesis are actually 7 thousand years as a Day to The Lord God is a thousand years as Psalm and 2 Peter says so the Earth is actually older than 14 thousand years old so it could be millions to billions of years old. I'm glad brothers Cliffe and Stuart Knechtle's Apologetics ministry still going strong in 2024 after all these decades. After studying science I realized that Evolutionary biology from common ancestry has nothing to do with believing in a Creator we call God but it's a tool used by Atheists, agnostics and secular people to promote their own godless community and agenda against Christianity. Atheists and secular humanists are guilty of promoting a nihilistic reality where everyone and everything is objectively meaningless because of and in spite of religion and Atheism. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
I'd love to hear more on where they believe the darkness comes from, if not from (or at least permitted by) God, as our creator. Can anyone link a video?
You do understand darkness is simply the restriction of light, correct?
#whoosh@@Theo_Skeptomai
Genesis chapter 1 states that God created the heavens and the earth. It then states after God created the Earth, darkness was over the face of earth (this is referring to lack of photons, not evil. Darkness, as you can see here, was already on the face of the earth when the world was created). Genesis then goes on to say "and He said let there be light and He separated the light from the darkness, calling light day and darkness night". Notice God said "let there be light", He did not say "let there be light and darkness". The creation of light, in this context, is the sun. That's why we have daylight and nighttime. Does the sun not cause day? Does the light from the sun not get rid of shadows and brighten a dark room? When the Earth rotates away from the sun, does everything around you not become dark? Hence, God did not create this darkness, it is simply the absence of photons. Darkness is literally nothingness.
The darkness God also did not create was the darkness known as evil. It is called darkness because evil likes to hide where there is no light. Why? Because it is void of the light that God created that exposes its agenda. Darkness is the opposite of the light, and the devil does everything that is opposite of God, which is the light He created. Light is associated with life (photosynthesis, beauty, vibrancy, colorful, lively, etc.) Darkness is associated with death because it's void of life (light). Evil spirits are deprived of God Spirit (life) so they dwell in darkness where it is associated with death.
@warriorgp4640 Are you asserting that because propositions are written in an ancient text, such propositions are _necessarily_ true?
@@Theo_Skeptomai are you asserting that because I explained what the Bible says that I am claiming truth?! We are not about to go down this path.

Life is not about pleasure but avoiding boredom.
Hey Cliffe and Stuart, ive been interested in the 1000 year millennium and from my understanding Christ has not come to reign for 1000 years but some people say it has already happened. What are your thoughts? Maybe you can help me out, Thank you God bless yall.
The 1000 year reign of Christ is after Jesus comes back. Jesus has not come back yet so it can't have happened.
believe me, I would have killed myself years ago if life had no purpose
In the beginning of this video Cliffe acknowledges some athiests live for pleasures like loving others but then asks why we wouldnt unalive ourselves.... because we live for pleasure. How is he confused about this? He just answered his own question.
He's pointing out its a shallow selfish reason......just like "unaliving"
@@robmc120 to live for joy and love experienced with others is shallow and selfish? That is one of the pleasures I live for
@@spooky6902 "to live for joy and love experienced with others is shallow and selfish? That is one of the pleasures I live for"
WHY tho does it have any meaning if we're in a godless worldview of an unguided/blind/pitiless/indifferent universe (R.Dawkins) born from chance/chaos/nothingness/unknown/stardust (C.Sagan) where a rock in the road is as valuable as a person, made from the same theoretical primordial material?
@robmc120 Love and joy is subjectively more valuable to me than a rock even though there's no such thing as objective value. Just like how apples subjectively taste better to me than raspberries even though there's no objectively taste.
Cliff. What is the difference between Jesus and Yashua? I’m trying to figure this out
Nothing, some people are legalists & feel the need to speak His native name despite speaking english sentences to be more obedient.....despite Eph 2:8+9
Cliff how come sometimes I feel like jesus is not there is that a trick from the devil or is god testing me I wanna know because im scared
It's a trick from the devil
@@PhantommJ thanks
Animals do. Animals find meaning in just existing. Explain this phenomenon.
Schools is for profit. Money.
Education or educating yourself is for not being taken advantage of by the crooks of the world and learning how to survive. Why survive? Because we are programmed too. Unfortunately, we have to work in modern society to survive. We don’t hunt and gather anymore.
Why help others? Because we are social creatures. We can use other aspects of our minds like learning rather than just looking or hunting for food.
And why created human beings to be social creatures?

@@seven-in2je how come?
@askcliffe Outside of prayer and living a life of “light” and example towards the world, how do you bring your non-believing friends to Christ?
Just as you would with any other real living being. You introduce this Christ to them at your invitation of a backyard BBQ and let them all shake hands and share a beer together. You don't forsee a problem with this approach, do you?
You don't. Just as Christ said to his disciples that no one comes to him unless God draws them. And as God has said, he will draw all men unto him, but this does not negate the will of one who is against him, such individuals will not heed the call. Every person that has come to God did not come to him on their own or based on another. You do the work that you feel to do in your heart as led by God, but never look at it as though you have any power to bring anyone to Christ or else you may end up as a problem for many who "would" have answered but felt pressured or something else by you. Simply treat it as Christ told his followers. He told them to go from door to door and any home that did not heed and welcome them, simply wipe the dust from their feet and move on.
This is to the young female. I hope you read this. Jesus is Eternal he has no beginning and no end because he is God!
Stuart makes a valid point that if your parents were alcoholics you are way more prone to become an alcoholic, and if your mother was bi polar, you are way more prone to become bi polar. The same could also be said about belief/religion, .. Stuart himself is a prime example in that his father is a Christian apologist street preacher.. like father like son, a chip off the old block.
I agree. Like father, like son.
Did I ever tell you my father was the most intelligent and sexiest man alive?
Now, my therapist should like that joke.
This isn’t entirely true. You can be raised to be a Catholic but it doesn’t mean you’ll end up being one. So this notion that people are mainly religious because they were “programmed” since their youth is false.
@@ronwan1408 Yes indeed, we are in agreement, I was raised a Catholic, and, like many of my fellow catholics i went to school with, we've ditched our faith and went on a different path, my best schoolfriend died last year of an incurable disease, I lost contact with him for many years in his later life, I found out at his funeral that he became a Jehova's witness, whereas I became a non believer. Is it your belief that he was not a Christian?
It's not a dead set certainty that you retain the faith that you were raised in, but it's a good bet in deeply religious countries like Pakistan or Portugal, you'll be a Muslim or a Catholic, the more the religion has a grip on power and influence of that country, the more the people will believe in the main religion of that country. The internet and scientific knowledge has led people away from the church. Kids today can find stuff out for themselves at the touch of a button.
@@bonnie43uk The likely hood of those countries being Muslim is high, yes, because their house teaches that doctrine but there’s no assurance that they will stay Muslim so again, we can’t say that people are being brainwashed into believing something.
When you research the religion of Jehova Witness, much like Roman Catholicism & Mormonism etc; you’ll see that those doctrines are not reliable as being sound doctrine.
@@bonnie43uk Did you know that the Bible also predicted that in the last days there will be a great falling away from God? That’s exactly what is happening now at an alarming rate & although the rest of world, primarily atheist, are looking at this as some sort of “victory,” it’s actually all just proving end times prophecy to be true.

Thank you Cliffe. I been debating an atheist on YT for a few days and this person is willing and wants to know there is a God but keeps going back to "needs proof" and that I deny modern science. Your wording Cliffe or (Ian's) on science is beautiful but not everything is science based was awesome!
i’ll be happy to help you come up with some answers let me know the questions he asks and we can come up with an answer together :)

My responds was around the lines of cliffe's . Cliffes words help me reply because sometimes Its hard to articulate and bring out my points but again its something I believe too.
@@vincentkrych2158 ooo this is a pretty deep point in an area im not to familiar with. But I believe humans define their idea of morality based on the societal values put into place in their country at that time. For example we can see live examples of this by whats considered normal in one countries and what is considered immoral in an another country. Lets even take a look back through history in ww2 for example with Germany. How did hitler accomplish his goals? How did he convince the german people to do inhumane things to jews. This is due to humans flawed perception of their own morality. The point im trying to make human morality is always fluctuating while the morality defined by God is good and has stayed good for all these generations that have passed. I rather trust the morality of my God than the morality of an always changing morality.
@@vincentkrych2158 by the way I believe you can believe in science as well as God. Science is just humans trying to comprehend what God created.
@@josuemolina1003Exactly, Morals cannot come from society. Well if can but like you said, Humans understanding is always changing, Its not absolute. What is wrong to others is right to us. You cant have that. 100/100 killing is morality wrong.

Can anyone explain the John Lennox conversation 13:31?
Watch 'Unlocking the Mystery of Life' by Illustra Media, he explains in that film.
From what I understand, if I'm refering to the same story. John had asked the man, a reductionist, at his table to explain the symbiotic relationship between five letters on the menu "STEAK". Each letter is a symbol that has information behind it. Where did the symbol originally get its information, and its relationship to the other symbols. He was showing that at the beginning their must be more than matter and energy. And where does information come from. From a Mind. That was my take on it.
Top notch answer from Cliff and start N.
Yeah..,
How’s that ?
I will say that Cliff is factually correct about Jesus Christ 100 percent. In my opinion. Sometimes he goes about trying to get these kids to follow Christ a little aggressive. He could be a bit more assertive in his message. Example. When these Kids talk about the fact that how you were raised plays a role in there morals and beliefs. They are 100 percent correct. And society works in the same fashion. And there is no reason that Cliff should be judgementally in his words about how they do believe.
Spread the gospel of Jesus. And let them decide. On there own time. Drilling them is only going to make them go the opposite way from Jesus. Once they have heard about Jesus at that point Jesus will take it from there. As they grow. He will knock on the door of there soul and give them fair time to either go his path or a different one. If they choose at that time to go away from Jesus. Then that is there bad. To try and shove Jesus down there throat. Will only turn them away.
Ecclesiastes 1:2. “Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.” King James Version (KJV).
And though we might like to disagree with Solomon, but who amongst us is wiser than he? And upon the recognition of this truth we endeavour to reduce our vanity and not walk around the place as proud as turkey cocks.
In our work, even if it be it our daily chores, there is vanity which is the admiration of our achievements, be they big or small. And this is a God given admiration to motivate us. But as much as possible on the 7th day sabbath we try to keep it to a minimum and refrain from work.
And by so doing, we do not let the admiration of ourselves impede our admiration of God and His achievements- and we obtain a great blessing from God for doing so. But also, as we are instructed in Isaiah 58, we don’t partake in any of our pleasures. This also helps us to keep the day holy.
Exodus 20:8 KJV
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God:
Cliffe is great for any worldview questions, but as soon as you ask him a real biblical question you will not get a very good answer which is okay we all have are knowledgeable topics.
