To address if God hears out prayers, let me tell you how i was an athiest for around three years. And then one morning i prayed to God asking Him to watch over me. The next day, one of my mom's uncle brought his sister in law(a woman of God) to have a time of prayer. Then we began to pray and she laid her hands on my head and told me God heard my prayers yesterday. She told me God had held me by a thread when im about to fall down a cliff(i had stop praying and told my family who are all Christians that God doesn't exist and He wasnt real). Since then, my faith and walk with God has been awesome. God hears all our prayers. :)
Bottom line, God created us to be worshippers to Him. Too many people attend church to get a feeling, leaving emotionally uplifted but we are to worship Him, not expecting anything because we don’t deserve anything from Him. Only if we have totally given ourselves to Jesus, can God see us as righteous through Jesus.
If god created us to worship him and have a relationship with him, would have been infinite better ways to do it. Why did he fuck up over and over, having to flood the earth to start again etc
@@zaydevans2077He didn’t mess up over and over. God is perfect, God can’t mess up. The beings that can mess up are called humans. We have free will, given to us by God, to choose between good and evil. The flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, the Babylonians destroying Jerusalem, etc. are all forms of God’s judgement on people who have strayed too far from Him. God is a God of love *and* justice. He cannot let evil win.
Nobody has ever been saved by giving their life to Christ. Salvation is anything but a free gift of you must give your all to attain it. That is bartering your life for salvation and is a Satanic counterfeit gospel message. We are saved because He gave His life for us and we trust Him alone for salvation. Saving repentance is realizing that you are a sinner deserving of God's just punishment in Hell and turn (repent) from whatever you trusted in before, if indeed you trusted in anything; to trusting in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation.
@@heartt4994 Imagine a book says leprechauns created humans, but were disappointed enough in the results that leprechauns drowned every human (without even having a conversation). Imagine that book also calls leprechauns perfect and all-good. Well that settles it, right?! They're perfect and all good, because the book said so, right?
could you tell me more about how God did not give up on you even when all guilt left you? i have often wondered how some could do such great harm to me, and i have forgiven them, but i wonder if one or at all they feel guilt about it, and if i may never know then that is fine, i would just then wonder if they will or can be saved or if it is possible for them to receive help one day, or if they are truly lost forever.
@Thleta its really a long story but in short, I wasnt convinced God existed nor was i looking for him. I guess i was agnostic, caught in habitual sin for many years. At first I felt tremendous guilt. Little by little I felt less and less. And one day, I felt nothing at all. As time went on, I continued in this horrible life style. I became more and more selfish and self centered. I had no friends. I really had no life. I had given up on life. Then my mom got sick and out of necessity, I took care of her. Out of pure despiration I cried our to God and he answered me. Mind you, I didn't believe in God. I simply had noone else I could turn to. I never ever thought I would get a response. After that I found prayers on the internet and I started saying them... religiously and I had more experiences. After my mom died, I joined a Catholic church. I was anti catholic for most of my life but that's where God led me so that's where I went. Now, this is the honest truth- I went to one confession with a priest.i confessed my sins. The priest told me to say 3 hail Mary's. I thought nothing of it at the time but a month later I realized, i had lost all desire for the sin I had been so caught up in. And that desire has never returned. It's been 6 years.
@Thleta one more thing- No One is lost forever. God's love and mercy never ceases. I will recommend. If you or they are against Catholicism, if you know someone who is struggling with something, give the Andrew Murray's Rapture Prayer. I prayed it for about 6 months before my mom died and I think it opened me up to healing and to being able to draw close to God or for God to draw close to me.
@@pdworld3421 thank you so so so much for sharing, ive been able to receive more insight because of you. i am hoping to walk into a catholic church one day after 16 years being the last time i attended a service of any kind. i am scared of prayer and do not engage as faithfully and religiously as i should, and so will try the rapture prayer you mentioned. thank you again for taking the time to connect
@@Thleta The rapture prayer is long. But if you have trouble praying- any prayer will do for a start. Or simply saying the Lord's name. But better, if you can manage and are open to Catholicism, find a Chapel where they expose the Blessed Sacrament and just sit with Jesus. I pray this New Year brings you Peace and Joy.
The man asking about the formula on how to talk to God had me in Awhhh, you can truely see that he was touched and wanted to know how to talk to God and get closer to him. Keep up the amazing work Cliff 🙏🙏
I wasn’t raised a Christian but watching Cliffe videos changed my life, in the middle of my depression/addiction/anxiety I was drawn by God to watch Cliffe conversations with students, he convinced me to read the gospels for myself and find out who Jesus is. I got saved now I am a born again Christian and have been following Jesus Christ for 3 years.
@@jasonnoble7302Jason, I don’t know if you have studied deep into other religions or not, but from my studying Christianity has more evidence then any major religion I have studied. It’s not even close either (to me). If you have not really took a deep dive into the options I hope you do! It’s a great study and becomes addicting if your seeking truth. If God exist it is the most important thing in your life. Take it serious (I don’t know if you do or don’t) study hard. Take care Jason!
I love seeing how God is calling that man, though he kept questioning, you can see, even through his scepticism his heart begin to melt at the presentation of the gospel, when brother Cliff shares how God's forgiveness is real and covers his sins.
@@twchannel7503 When you say understand Do you mean fully agree with Christianity? I believe I understand clifes position and fully disagree with most of his premises Does that follow I don’t understand and if so exactly how ?
@@twchannel7503 You - As opposed to believing you came from a rock.? Response - That's a very elementary way of putting it, but yes . . . earth made man. The Bible itself admits to this. God formed man from the dust of the ground and back to the earth he will go. What happens to a decomposing body.? One third turns into a gas (matter), one third turns into a liquid (matter), and the remaining one third are elements left over (matter). Not only does Adam mean: Man, but it also means: Red, Earth.

He's in his element in the city as compared to a campus. It might be that the young people (mostly) only want to hear someone near their age. He should keep that up but I'm glad Cliffe is branching out!
hi billy, i think people are pretty much the same in most cities, you're going to get sceptics wherever you go. Have you ever seen one of these video's where a non believer, after listening to Cliffe has been convinced of his arguments and changed his view. Cliffe will convince believers, but he's not likely to convince non believers. Yet, i could easily be convinced if the evidence for the supernatural was clear and present. Fact is, it's non existent as far as i can see 🙂
I’m from Jersey and I genuinely wanna meet Cliffe so bad, I wish I could have drive to NY to see him but I can’t 😔. As a Christian this man as helped me understand so much about the Bible I haven’t already and has helped bring me back into the Bible. He truly does the Lords work
FACTS. SILLY ATHEISTS TRIX ARE FOR KIDS 🤣. I mean yeah you can be an atheist and good person in a human sense but not if God is a reality. I wouldn't say that Atheists are running from God but don't want there to be evidence that God exists. Christ saved, bettered and changed your life as well mine s well as fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Many religious beliefs can be similar not the exact same based on culture , social, economic/political backgrounds and location 💯. Agnostics don't really make a decision about God's Existence because it doesn't matter to them just like apatheists. I miss the good Old Days of common sense, rational discourse, sanity and clarity when people could have good conversations. AMEN brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless brother Stuart and Cliffe Knechtle's Apologetics ministry even though Cliffe's getting older but he held his own pretty well explaining Christianity and theism to these people. It's obviously not the burden of proof for believers but God Himself to meet the burden of proof which He has for us Christian theists despite what Atheists claim are just unsupported claims. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " On The Origin of Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology but I accept micro Evolution such as speciation and adaptation because there's no evidence of macro Evolutionary biology 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.
Ill add to your statement. -- Your good work does not determine guilt or innocence, your bad works do. However your good works may be considered in sentencing( the severity of the punishment). Some will be beaten with few lashes and other many, perhaps the difference will be based on their good works, but their good works will be irrelevant as you beautifully stated with determining guilt or innocence.
*This is a light version of how I imagined King Solomon poured out his wisdom & how logical minds/rulers across the world felt when they conversed with him. Imagine having GOD GIVEN WISDOM like this: The ability to answer AND EXPLAIN in layman terms so EVERYONE can understand & apply. I thank The Most High for sharing his knowledge thru His mighty Son, The Creator & his Holy Spirits..!!* 💯🙏🏾
I am 24 years old and have grown up in a non religious household. I have always wanted to believe in god, but have always had similar questions to the man in this video that would always hold me back. "Why does god punish those who do good, but do not believe in him?" "How could the all just and all knowing allow those who do evil to live side by side with the righteous?" Growing up, people were never able to answer these questions. Thank you Cliffe for what you do. You are allowing me to have a deeper relationship with god.
This is one of Cliff's simplist but best video's. Great explanation to the gentleman saying does he go to heaven as he is a good person. His good deeds outweigh is bad deeds. Cliff's response is basically, no, its by Gods grace, a free gift. Straightforward and simple. So many people need to hear that point. So many people think its about how many good works you can do, but we just cant save ourselves. We are all sinners thst need God's grace 🙏
We have to understand He is our heavenly father. Under any GOOD father there are Don't do this and don't do that. However you have the freedom to do this!
Lmfao . . . and that verse you quoted (by Paul) was specifically written in a letter to the church in Rome - "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools." The only fool speaking in this video is Cliffe.

@@ziarchiveofficial Quote me where I ever said that. Leave it up to a Chrstn to try and lie. I don't have to hate someone to have an opinion about them. Maybe you do but I don't.
Here I am at 5am waking up to Cliff talking on NYC. I am so thankful to have found this page and this ministry. I always pray for his toughest customers. There was a group of young kids that started to leave but there was one who didn’t want to leave. Lord, bless them all. Sure wish I could retain all of his wisdom and words. But we all have our gifts.
I've prayed that God help me to love Him. And the thought came to me, that to love God, is to love people. Boy do I have a hard time doing that sometimes!!
Sadly, this outreach has no truth to it because it is non-salvific. There is no confession in this type of service there is no partaking of the bread and wine when Consecrated becomes the Body Blood Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist as the Apostles were taught by Jesus and as they taught the followers.
8:14 Mann.. I remember when he used to say the New Testament was based on over 5,200+ manuscripts and it seems like they just continue to find more and more! 😊 God is so good!!
Why Bless someone for that, can you explain that, does he have the same Authority that the Apostles did to forgive sin's as Jesus saidxto the Apostles in John ch 20 vrs 23 can he consecrate Bread and Wine which then becomes The Body Blood Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist as Jesus said in John chapter 6 since he cannot do any of those he is a liar.
17 "For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, MUCH MORE those who receive the ABUNDANCE OF GRACE and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ." Romans 5:17 GOD bless you richly who are reading this. 💖

@@JesusistheFather_ isthe, Exodus 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. If you don't keep that commandment (along with the others), you show that you don't love Jesus. Do you love Jesus?
I love the engagement with people, the answering of questions and the lifting up to them the scripture as historical and reliable. God bless you all for having them courage to do this.
Forgiveness is me absorbing their offense and counting the relationship with that person as more important than my suffering a wrong. I say thank you to those that come to me and ask for my forgiveness. I tell them thank you that you cared enough about our relationship to seek me out to get the wrong taken out of the way.
It’s a shame I missed this. I used to walk past this spot in NYC all the time as part of my work commute. Would have loved to see and hear this man speak in person.
@jasonnoble7302 Yes and no. It's about how open you are to receiving God. God knows your heart, He knows your mind. If there's an opening, God can work through it and draw you closer to Him. If you're completely closed off, God will respect that and leave you alone. So it's God who draws you in, but it's up to you how receptive you want to be.
@@Malhaloc I’m confused 😐 Why would God create me in such a way as to not have an opening in my heart ? See, I don’t believe the Christian God exists. I don’t believe because of the problem of evil. The fact that a God makes no predictions. The fact that the Christian God is considered to be a good action person but permits not good things to occur every second. Look, if the Christian God exists I’m here to accept that. However, what makes the most sense to me is that this Christian God just doesn’t exist. I’m not new. I’ve done just about everything asked of me by believers and I’m still an atheist. It’s easy to say Well Jason you’re just not wanting the Christian God to exist. You’re happy in your sin. Bla bla bla But the reality is I’m just not convinced any of these religious stories that claim knowledge of Gods are true. So why doesn’t God convince me he exists? I want God to convince me he exists There I said it Now what 🤷♂️
@jasonnoble7302 Good questions. Sorry if this response is a bit lengthy. Such is the nature of this type of discussion. I'm on my phone, which doesn't allow me to copy/paste your responses. So, I'll be paraphrasing when I quote you to make it more expedient on my end. "Why would God create me in such a way..." He didn't create you as a non-believer. Children are very open to the supernatural. It's society that teaches them that the supernatural isn't real. God didn't create you to be an atheist. Your atheism is the result of you accepting the teachings of our secular society. Now, obviously, I don't know you, and I could be wrong about your circumstances. Please correct me if that is the case. "I don't believe because of the problem of evil." The Christian God said there would be evil in this world because most of the world rejects Him. Why does the existence of evil, then, cause you to disbelieve? "God makes no predictions." God makes many predictions, all of which have or will eventually come to pass. A current example would be the Euphrates drying up. It was predicted in Revelation, and we see it happening now. "I want God to convince me that He exists" Good. And I won't question your motives or past attempts. I'm sure you're genuine. Have you tried just being honest with God? "God, I don't know who you are or even if you exist. If you do, please show me in a way that I can understand." Have you done that? And follow up question: If God did convince you that He exists, what would that mean to you?
Such a very smart man! I love watching your videos. It definitely has helped me understand my doubts....I am curious on your thoughts on the Orthodox church, because i feel like you would be an amazing addition to the Church.
It is misleading and inaccurate to describe the Gospel as just forgiveness. God does not *_just_* forgive us. Instead, He is able to forgive us because our *sin debt* was paid by Christ. Without Christ first paying our debt, there is *NO FOREGIVING OF OUR SINS!* This is the absolute crux of the Gospel, and unless Cliffe shared that information with that man later, ( _but for some unimaginable reason, chose to not include it in this edit of the video,_ ) then Cliffe did us and the man a disservice by presenting an inaccurate Gospel message. In human terms, one could use an illustration such as... A man acquired so many unpaid parking tickets that a judge is forced to issue a warrant for his arrest. The police bring the man before the judge and the judge tells him, _You must pay a $500 fine or else you will be jailed for 90 days._ The man then tells the judge, _Your honor, I am very sorry. I know that it was wrong for me to park illegally, but I have no money to my name._ The judge has compassion on the man and so he wishes to set the man free. However, he cannot ignore the fines if he wishes to be a just judge. So, the judge takes off his robe and steps down from his bench. He then takes his wallet out of his pocket, takes out $500 and hands it to the bailiff. He then returns to the bench, puts on his robe and declares, _This man's debt has been paid in full and is free to go._ This illustrates our salvation, as we have violated God's law and death is the penalty. Jesus who is God the Son, having love and compassion comes down from Heaven to be born of a virgin, live a sinless life, then suffer and die on a cross to pay our debt to God. We then place our faith in His blood sacrifice for our sins and we are forgiven and given new life in Christ.
@@danpan001 Everybody chooses what they believe and do not believe. It matters not what denomination you associate with. Jesus made that apparent. _"And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham."_ *MATTHEW 3:9*
Cliffe really has opened my mind to processing believing and trusting in God. The way he explains things make everything make so much sense I almost feel like God is speaking through him to me when I watch these videos. Am I the only one who feels this way? I really want to deepen my relationship with Jesus and spread his word.
I wish Cliffe would’ve expanded more about the don’ts that are in the Bible to the first man. There’s more to loving our neighbor. The grace of *God* teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, Titus 2:11-12. Therefore, if we say that we believe in *Christ* we must not fornicate, not commit adultery, not be an idolater to anything, not get drunk, not covet, not love money, not be after fame, etc., you get the picture. Unfortunately, some Christians love the soft gospel, *”God* loves me and I don’t need to turn away from sin.”
I love cliff, he tells the truth about Jesus in a loving ❤ 😍 way, here's my testimony for the glory 😤 👏 of God. Hallelujah I am a 71 years young Christian and got married at 68yrs my wife Sharon's then was 59 yrs. It was 2020 on 29 February when God joined together two church ushers together who both did not want to marry, God did it. Pastor Micheal of Revival Christian Solution Arena said "Do you love her" (Sharon) I replied "No" and to her "Do you love him" (John) she replied "No" Three weeks later we both replied "Yes". So God did it himself. The Lord healed me of arthritis in both knees and asthma due to 25 years of smoking, so I could not walk or breath until God healed me. He also sent an angel on the bus to save my life from a knife attack and I spoke to an angel in Westminster when giving out gospel tracts. So an awesome God has done awesome things in my life and I am so happily 😊 married at 71yrs. Blessings brother John 🙏🏽
That jewish man was so close to understanding the truth and repenting. I hope you guys follow up after the q&a with people and present the Gospel to them. As far as our good works outweighing our bad works, I would use the worldly court system as an example. A judge doesn't forgive a criminal just because his/her good works outweigh the crimes they committed. Evil must be punished. But Jesus paid the penalty! So now we're forgiven because Someone else paid the fine. Justice is served, the fine satisfied, and we're free from the sentence. Thank you Cliffe

@Thleta its really a long story but in short, I wasnt convinced God existed nor was i looking for him. I guess i was agnostic, caught in habitual sin for many years. At first I felt tremendous guilt. Little by little I felt less and less. And one day, I felt nothing at all. As time went on, I continued in this horrible life style. I became more and more selfish and self centered.

Mind you, I didn't believe in God. I simply had noone else I could turn to. I never ever thought I would get a response.
After that I found prayers on the internet and I started saying them... religiously and I had more experiences. After my mom died, I joined a Catholic church. I was anti catholic for most of my life but that's where God led me so that's where I went. Now, this is the honest truth- I went to one confession with a priest.i confessed my sins. The priest told me to say 3 hail Mary's. I thought nothing of it at the time but a month later I realized, i had lost all desire for the sin I had been so caught up in. And that desire has never returned. It's been 6 years.
@Thleta one more thing- No One is lost forever. God's love and mercy never ceases. I will recommend. If you or they are against Catholicism, if you know someone who is struggling with something, give the Andrew Murray's Rapture Prayer. I prayed it for about 6 months before my mom died and I think it opened me up to healing and to being able to draw close to God or for God to draw close to me.

But better, if you can manage and are open to Catholicism, find a Chapel where they expose the Blessed Sacrament and just sit with Jesus. I pray this New Year brings you Peace and Joy.
The man asking about the formula on how to talk to God had me in Awhhh, you can truely see that he was touched and wanted to know how to talk to God and get closer to him. Keep up the amazing work Cliff 🙏🙏
Wondering if he was a plant 🤔
@@allgems6312even if he was, that’s a pretty good way to reach others.
He sorta is one. I’ve known him for 10 year. He was out there on a mission trip and wanted to play devils advocate.
I wasn’t raised a Christian but watching Cliffe videos changed my life, in the middle of my depression/addiction/anxiety I was drawn by God to watch Cliffe conversations with students, he convinced me to read the gospels for myself and find out who Jesus is. I got saved now I am a born again Christian and have been following Jesus Christ for 3 years.
Amen brother 🙏🙌😊
praise the LORD! AMen welcome to christ brother :)
Praise God!!!!
Praise Jesus! Welcome.
Amen. Praise God!

@@jasonnoble7302Jason, I don’t know if you have studied deep into other religions or not, but from my studying Christianity has more evidence then any major religion I have studied. It’s not even close either (to me). If you have not really took a deep dive into the options I hope you do! It’s a great study and becomes addicting if your seeking truth. If God exist it is the most important thing in your life. Take it serious (I don’t know if you do or don’t) study hard. Take care Jason!
@@jasonnoble7302Good to see people of other beliefs being fans of Cliff
Cliffe hits it out of the park as usual
Lol yes he did, they ask him good questions too.
I love seeing how God is calling that man, though he kept questioning, you can see, even through his scepticism his heart begin to melt at the presentation of the gospel, when brother Cliff shares how God's forgiveness is real and covers his sins.
Gods forgiveness?

But we are to ask for forgiveness

Well, believing you came from a rock or God created everything is a false dichotomy

As opposed to believing you came from a rock.?

That's a very elementary way of putting it, but yes . . . earth made man.
The Bible itself admits to this.
God formed man from the dust of the ground and back to the earth he will go.

He's in his element in the city as compared to a campus. It might be that the young people (mostly) only want to hear someone near their age. He should keep that up but I'm glad Cliffe is branching out!
hi billy, i think people are pretty much the same in most cities, you're going to get sceptics wherever you go. Have you ever seen one of these video's where a non believer, after listening to Cliffe has been convinced of his arguments and changed his view. Cliffe will convince believers, but he's not likely to convince non believers. Yet, i could easily be convinced if the evidence for the supernatural was clear and present. Fact is, it's non existent as far as i can see 🙂
I’m from Jersey and I genuinely wanna meet Cliffe so bad, I wish I could have drive to NY to see him but I can’t 😔. As a Christian this man as helped me understand so much about the Bible I haven’t already and has helped bring me back into the Bible. He truly does the Lords work
I really prefer this setting over the university campus. Am praying for your ministry.
I'm loving these NY videos, thank you for all that you do Cliffe.
Great day when Cliffe uploads!!!!

@@chapeldavis1 hey my friend
FACTS. SILLY ATHEISTS TRIX ARE FOR KIDS 🤣. I mean yeah you can be an atheist and good person in a human sense but not if God is a reality. I wouldn't say that Atheists are running from God but don't want there to be evidence that God exists. Christ saved, bettered and changed your life as well mine s well as fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Many religious beliefs can be similar not the exact same based on culture , social, economic/political backgrounds and location 💯. Agnostics don't really make a decision about God's Existence because it doesn't matter to them just like apatheists. I miss the good Old Days of common sense, rational discourse, sanity and clarity when people could have good conversations. AMEN brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless brother Stuart and Cliffe Knechtle's Apologetics ministry even though Cliffe's getting older but he held his own pretty well explaining Christianity and theism to these people. It's obviously not the burden of proof for believers but God Himself to meet the burden of proof which He has for us Christian theists despite what Atheists claim are just unsupported claims. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " On The Origin of Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology but I accept micro Evolution such as speciation and adaptation because there's no evidence of macro Evolutionary biology 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.
A judge doesn’t judge you based on the good that you’ve done, but on the evil you have done. Your good works are irrelevant.
Ill add to your statement. -- Your good work does not determine guilt or innocence, your bad works do. However your good works may be considered in sentencing( the severity of the punishment). Some will be beaten with few lashes and other many, perhaps the difference will be based on their good works, but their good works will be irrelevant as you beautifully stated with determining guilt or innocence.
Brilliant Cliffe! Keep going, I pray for you to be always strengthened!
Keep preaching, love you, Cliffe you do the best you can telling others about Jesus Chrost keep going and never stop love you man.
*This is a light version of how I imagined King Solomon poured out his wisdom & how logical minds/rulers across the world felt when they conversed with him.

I am 24 years old and have grown up in a non religious household. I have always wanted to believe in god, but have always had similar questions to the man in this video that would always hold me back. "Why does god punish those who do good, but do not believe in him?" "How could the all just and all knowing allow those who do evil to live side by side with the righteous?" Growing up, people were never able to answer these questions. Thank you Cliffe for what you do. You are allowing me to have a deeper relationship with god.
God LOVES you so much!!!
How is your journey coming along?
This is one of Cliff's simplist but best video's. Great explanation to the gentleman saying does he go to heaven as he is a good person. His good deeds outweigh is bad deeds. Cliff's response is basically, no, its by Gods grace, a free gift. Straightforward and simple. So many people need to hear that point. So many people think its about how many good works you can do, but we just cant save ourselves. We are all sinners thst need God's grace 🙏
I love the blue shirt analogy. That's a new one from Cliffe . I've watched every video and haven't heard that one yet
I went to a church that says don't do this don't do that I was totally put off for a while but I found a awesome church and I'm happy there 😊
We have to understand He is our heavenly father. Under any GOOD father there are Don't do this and don't do that. However you have the freedom to do this!
Why doesn't this channel have more subscribers?! Cliff is brilliant

Continue doing this type of outreach! God Bless!!!
Sadly, this outreach has no truth to it because it is non-salvific. There is no confession in this type of service there is no partaking of the bread and wine when Consecrated becomes the Body Blood Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist as the Apostles were taught by Jesus and as they taught the followers.

So it’s up to God ?
I’m an atheist
Is it up to God to convince me Christianity is true ?
@jasonnoble7302 Yes and no. It's about how open you are to receiving God. God knows your heart, He knows your mind. If there's an opening, God can work through it and draw you closer to Him. If you're completely closed off, God will respect that and leave you alone.
So it's God who draws you in, but it's up to you how receptive you want to be.
@@Malhaloc
I’m confused 😐
Why would God create me in such a way as to not have an opening in my heart ?
See, I don’t believe the Christian God exists. I don’t believe because of the problem of evil. The fact that a God makes no predictions. The fact that the Christian God is considered to be a good action person but permits not good things to occur every second.
Look, if the Christian God exists I’m here to accept that. However, what makes the most sense to me is that this Christian God just doesn’t exist.
I’m not new. I’ve done just about everything asked of me by believers and I’m still an atheist.
It’s easy to say
Well Jason you’re just not wanting the Christian God to exist. You’re happy in your sin. Bla bla bla
But the reality is I’m just not convinced any of these religious stories that claim knowledge of Gods are true.
So why doesn’t God convince me he exists?
I want God to convince me he exists
There
I said it
Now what 🤷♂️
@@jasonnoble7302I've seen you comment before. I wish you were more honest about your intentions.
@jasonnoble7302 Good questions. Sorry if this response is a bit lengthy. Such is the nature of this type of discussion. I'm on my phone, which doesn't allow me to copy/paste your responses. So, I'll be paraphrasing when I quote you to make it more expedient on my end.
"Why would God create me in such a way..."
He didn't create you as a non-believer. Children are very open to the supernatural. It's society that teaches them that the supernatural isn't real. God didn't create you to be an atheist. Your atheism is the result of you accepting the teachings of our secular society. Now, obviously, I don't know you, and I could be wrong about your circumstances. Please correct me if that is the case.
"I don't believe because of the problem of evil."
The Christian God said there would be evil in this world because most of the world rejects Him. Why does the existence of evil, then, cause you to disbelieve?
"God makes no predictions."
God makes many predictions, all of which have or will eventually come to pass. A current example would be the Euphrates drying up. It was predicted in Revelation, and we see it happening now.
"I want God to convince me that He exists"
Good. And I won't question your motives or past attempts. I'm sure you're genuine. Have you tried just being honest with God? "God, I don't know who you are or even if you exist. If you do, please show me in a way that I can understand." Have you done that?
And follow up question: If God did convince you that He exists, what would that mean to you?
Such a very smart man! I love watching your videos. It definitely has helped me understand my doubts....I am curious on your thoughts on the Orthodox church, because i feel like you would be an amazing addition to the Church.
one of my favorites, great discussion!
It is misleading and inaccurate to describe the Gospel as just forgiveness. God does not *_just_* forgive us. Instead, He is able to forgive us because our *sin debt* was paid by Christ. Without Christ first paying our debt, there is *NO FOREGIVING OF OUR SINS!*
This is the absolute crux of the Gospel, and unless Cliffe shared that information with that man later, ( _but for some unimaginable reason, chose to not include it in this edit of the video,_ ) then Cliffe did us and the man a disservice by presenting an inaccurate Gospel message.
In human terms, one could use an illustration such as...
A man acquired so many unpaid parking tickets that a judge is forced to issue a warrant for his arrest. The police bring the man before the judge and the judge tells him,
_You must pay a $500 fine or else you will be jailed for 90 days._
The man then tells the judge,
_Your honor, I am very sorry. I know that it was wrong for me to park illegally, but I have no money to my name._
The judge has compassion on the man and so he wishes to set the man free. However, he cannot ignore the fines if he wishes to be a just judge. So, the judge takes off his robe and steps down from his bench. He then takes his wallet out of his pocket, takes out $500 and hands it to the bailiff. He then returns to the bench, puts on his robe and declares,
_This man's debt has been paid in full and is free to go._
This illustrates our salvation, as we have violated God's law and death is the penalty. Jesus who is God the Son, having love and compassion comes down from Heaven to be born of a virgin, live a sinless life, then suffer and die on a cross to pay our debt to God. We then place our faith in His blood sacrifice for our sins and we are forgiven and given new life in Christ.
He is a Protestant so he or any Protestant has the authority to interpret the Scriptures and come up with his own Gospels.
@@danpan001
Everybody chooses what they believe and do not believe. It matters not what denomination you associate with. Jesus made that apparent.
_"And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham."_
*MATTHEW 3:9*
I absolutely love you Cliffe! I hope i can meet you one day!!🙏🏽
that camera work is on point! thankyou from New Zealand
Cliffe really has opened my mind to processing believing and trusting in God. The way he explains things make everything make so much sense I almost feel like God is speaking through him to me when I watch these videos. Am I the only one who feels this way? I really want to deepen my relationship with Jesus and spread his word.

I found that really interesting 8:00 - 9:55 I've never heard that before well explained cliffe
LOVE THE NEW VIDOES< PLS UPLODE MORE
I wish Cliffe would’ve expanded more about the don’ts that are in the Bible to the first man. There’s more to loving our neighbor. The grace of *God* teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, Titus 2:11-12. Therefore, if we say that we believe in *Christ* we must not fornicate, not commit adultery, not be an idolater to anything, not get drunk, not covet, not love money, not be after fame, etc., you get the picture.
Unfortunately, some Christians love the soft gospel, *”God* loves me and I don’t need to turn away from sin.”
Lord please touch the hearts of those who’ve lost themselves 🙏
Incredible!
God bless love yall
awewome brother Cliffe
That girl in the back ground with the burger king hat sipping a soda genuinely made me laugh
God bless this man
I love cliff, he tells the truth about Jesus in a loving ❤ 😍 way, here's my testimony for the glory 😤 👏 of God. Hallelujah
I am a 71 years young Christian and got married at 68yrs my wife Sharon's then was 59 yrs. It was 2020 on 29 February when God joined together two church ushers together who both did not want to marry, God did it. Pastor Micheal of Revival Christian Solution Arena said "Do you love her" (Sharon) I replied "No" and to her "Do you love him" (John) she replied "No" Three weeks later we both replied "Yes". So God did it himself. The Lord healed me of arthritis in both knees and asthma due to 25 years of smoking, so I could not walk or breath until God healed me. He also sent an angel on the bus to save my life from a knife attack and I spoke to an angel in Westminster when giving out gospel tracts. So an awesome God has done awesome things in my life and I am so happily 😊 married at 71yrs. Blessings brother John 🙏🏽
That jewish man was so close to understanding the truth and repenting. I hope you guys follow up after the q&a with people and present the Gospel to them.
As far as our good works outweighing our bad works, I would use the worldly court system as an example. A judge doesn't forgive a criminal just because his/her good works outweigh the crimes they committed. Evil must be punished.
But Jesus paid the penalty! So now we're forgiven because Someone else paid the fine. Justice is served, the fine satisfied, and we're free from the sentence.
Thank you Cliffe
