Join us in person for a Sunday service at 9:30amET or 5:30pmET 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.

"Our faith in God is not to be based on the circumstances of life." - Pastor Cliffe. Absolutely turns my faith on its head (IN A GOOD WAY)!
Prior to hearing that what was your thought process?
@speedywilliams34 I'm 40 years old and have struggled to accept why God seemingly answered "NO" to some of my prayers (things that I believed would make me truly happy). I may have to wait until the day before My Lord to ask why. But one thing I've learned is that in order to have a relationship with God, you've got to praise him through life's valleys as well as the mountain tops. I ditched my faith for Atheism a while back when I thought God didn't care about me. Now, realizing I was wrong, I return to God even though my life isn't going 100% the way I'd want. That's not the point of a relationship with God (like a genie lamp). So here I am, not just to ask God for things but to understand how I can use this messed up life to be a good servant.
Very nice I was curious, if I may ask when you went the atheist route, what brought you back? @@Miriam-ui5pw
Are you familiar with Hebrews 11?@@Theo_Skeptomai
I ask because I'm curious as to why you say faith is not to be based on evidence, if not than what should it be based on?
I am a young American who is still figuring out who I am and what life I am meant to live. And one thing I thought for some time is that I’m an atheist and did not believe in god. But a few days ago I saw one of these videos and it completely changed my perspective. I’m still young and I am still learning, but I now truly believe in god.
Thank you for changing me and helping me find my faith
Thank christ for changing you, not cliffe.
He is only a vessel of christs teachings.
So happy to hear that just remember that it is going to be hard following Jesus Christ like it has been said following Christ is a narrow road but remember you can do this and don’t give up praise Jesus
5 months later and just seeing your post. Praying that you have found a Christ centered church to mentor and teach you the truth of the Gospel. ❤❤❤
Bless your heart and I pray God reveals Himself to you in a special way!
That confrontation at the end was amazing, Cliffe handled it like a pro!
The guy in the white shirt and the last guy truly frustrated me. You handled them with such patience, grace and truth. I pray God gives me tools and guides me in conversations such as those. Thank you, Cliffe, for speaking truth with love. ❤️❤❤
Cliffe helps me understand, he really is blessed from God.
That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not (Quran 4:157)
Evidence within the Bible (A. Deedat)
Jesus prays to God asking Him to remove the coming tribulation:
“O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.” Matthew 26: 37-
God always hears Jesus prayers:
And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me ALWAYS John 11:41-
- Suggests that Jesus knew that his enemies were trying to kill him but that he asked God to protect him, moreover, God always hears his prayers.
After Sunday, Jesus appears to the disciples in the chamber:
But they were terrified and affrighted and supposed that they had seen a spirit.” Luke 24:37
The reason the disciples of Jesus were afraid was that they had learned by hearsay that their Master was killed by being fastened to the cross - that he was crucified. 1 They had learned by hearsay that he had “given up the ghost”: that he had died. They had learned by Hearsay that now he was -”DEAD AND BURIED” for three days. A man with such a reputation, would be expected to be decomposing in his tomb. FOR ALL THEIR KNOWLEDGE WAS FROM HEARSAY! - What they had heard! Because none of them was there to witness what was really going on with Jesus at Golgotha. In the most critical juncture in the life of Jesus:
“. . . THEY ALL FORSOOK HIM AND FLED.” Mark 14:50
“…Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.” Mathew 26:65
After the due greetings of “Shaloam”, Jesus begins calming the disciples’ fear for taking him to be a ghost. He says:
“Behold (have a look at) my hands and my feet, that it is I myself (I am the same fellow, man!): handle me and see; for A SPIRIT has no flesh and bones, as you see me have. . . And he showed them his hands and his feet.” Luke 24:39-40
What was Jesus trying to prove? That he had been resurrected from the dead? - That he was a spirit? - What has the demonstration of hands and feet to do with resurrection? “It is I MYSELF!” Can’t you see? “For a SPIRIT …” - any spirit, has “NO flesh and bones, as YOU see ME have!”. This is an axiomatic, self-evident truth. You do not have to convince anybody, whether Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jew, Atheist or Agnostic. Everyone will acknowledge without any proof that A SPIRIT HAS NO FLESH AND BONES!
Conclusion: The Bible suggests Jesus did not die/crucified but it was made to appear to them so.
For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: and if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
1 Corinthians 15:14
QURAN on Jesus:
Remember when the angels proclaimed, “O Mary! Allah gives you good news of a Word from Him, his name will be the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary; honoured in this world and the Hereafter, and he will be one of those nearest to Allah. [Surah Ali-Imran; 3:45]
When Jesus sensed disbelief from his people, he asked, “Who will stand up with me for Allah?” The disciples replied, “We will stand up for Allah. We believe in Allah, so bear witness that we have submitted.” [Surah Ali-Imran; 3:52]
Remember when Allah said, “O Jesus! I will take you and raise you up to Myself. I will deliver you from those who disbelieve, and elevate your followers above the disbelievers until the Day of Judgment. Then to Me you will ˹all˺ return, and I will settle all your disputes. [Surah Ali-Imran; 3:55]
Indeed, the example of Jesus in the sight of Allah is like that of Adam. He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be!” And he was! [Surah Ali-Imran; 3:59]
Say, O Prophet, “We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants; and what was given to Moses, Jesus, and other prophets from their Lord-we make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we fully submit”. [Surah Ali-Imran; 3:84]
Not really but ok I guess. AMEN most people aren't looking for The Truth but feeling better or superior to others. Apostle Paul accepted his weaknesses as a way to glorify our Creator 🙏👊❤️. 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 2023 after all these decades. 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.
He really is because he has helped me understand a lot better than how I was taught.
Cliffe, my wife and I have been Christian’s for 3 years. The stumbling blocks we had to coming to faith were removed when watching your videos and getting questions answered. We are raising our 3 children and have had a 180 in our lives. No longer unsure, no longer in bondage to sin. Thank you and your son for obeying God and putting yourselves out there. Utmost respect!
Am I the only one that loves the guitar at the beginning?, it's mesmerizing😅

Your knowledge and way of understanding and articulating the messages you put forth are impeccable. Honestly. I've never heard anyone so concisely explain certain topics and the people who are listening understand and respond in an intelligent manner rather than gaffaw
That's the first time I've seen Cliffe get riled up during a discussion. Good example of righteous anger!
It’s sad how so many are lost because of the Catholic Church.
1 Timothy 2:5
“For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,”
The same church that gave you your bible
@@deadmoney5580And that somehow makes the false parts of their teaching valid? Give me a break.
@designator4 How do you determine whst part of their doctrine is "false" ? By going to the bible they assembled lol .
Can you not see how irrational that is ?
@@deadmoney5580The Catholic church did not give the protestants their Bible. When Jerome translated the Latin Vulgate, he clearly annotated that the Apocrypha was not scripture. Martin Luther understood the heresy and contradictions in the Catholic teachings. That is why there was a split.
The Biblical Canon does not support or corroborate any of the catholic teachings from the Apocrypha.
God gave us His Word, not the Catholic church.
@@2EdgedSword77The Old Testament books were written well before Jesus’ Incarnation, and all of the New Testament books were written by roughly the end of the first century A.D. But the Bible as a whole was not officially compiled until the late fourth century, illustrating that it was the Catholic Church who determined the canon-or list of books-of the Bible under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Why cliff can't actually come to uk,like if you want cliff to come ❤
The last guy cracked me up, it is amazing what people belive. Very interesting video, lots of good question.
I would like to see the "extended version" of that last clip. It's amazing how young people accept the myth of life coming from dirt, water, and some lighting.
@@spacecoastz4026God bless you, my sister, it's Jacob.
@@Theo_Skeptomai The primordial soup is exactly that. Rain pouring down on stone, creating a puddle of water with some carefully chosen chemicals and then lightning bursting exactly on the aforementioned puddle. Dirt, water and some lightning.
@@Theo_Skeptomai People like you who deny God.
@@Theo_Skeptomai "I asked WHO EXACTLY is making that claim?"
NASA, "Pond Scum Explains Evolution of First Animals", despite no FACTS or scientific method to back it up, just assumed in faith; but youve already shown you dont care even when you get an answer.......may the infallible God bless you with faith in Him, not fallible man.
There are very few people I would consider a "hero", Cliffe is one of them.
really? because he lies so much?
@matswessling6600 we all lie bud no one is perfect. But I know you got a point to what your saying so what is the lie?
@@matswessling6600 Even if that were true, the man cares about the kids, spends his time doing what he believes in and standing for what he believes in, which is more than most people do. That said, I'm sure you want me to ask, so what are these big lies he continues to tell?
@@griffisjm he doesnt care about the kids, he cares about his religion. A religion based on lies (like all religions)
@@thewniverse No. I dont lie for a living. His lies? His religion! (all religion are lies)
First time being early in his videos i shared my paster this channel so i hope he will like it
I love these videos bro! Keep it up please!😭❤️🔥
Relativism is so self-defeating. How do you stay consistent when you claim it is a problem to say someone who believes something else about the world is wrong. You end up doing to very thing you say is wrong. Relativism is a way to assert arbitrary opinions without any supporting arguments, it’s indefensible moral insanity. The moral sanity taught by Jesus Christ and the prophets have built the civilization we have today that allows mutual understanding, human value, and justice. Read the Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence, and the preamble to the Constitution if you want the source for working social contracts and the blessings of liberty. Liberty is won through discipline and virtue as described by Christ not reveling in arbitrary self-destructive behaviors.
Thanks for helping me hear the word
Cliffe was born for this ❤
True but what I’m learning is God made him for this and Cliffe accepted it - before during and after his earthly experience and came out an evangelist for God.
I've watched plenty of his videos & this one really touched me. He explained God coming through Jesus to reveal himself so well. I grew up knowing this but didn't understand fully.
Amen Halleluiya I love you cliffe❤
I love confession it helps with depression
I envy cliffs passion. Brain for discussion. And dedication for examples on God. Amazing brother
If you come to NC I'd love to sit in and listen
Cliffe is a blessing from God
God bless you cliff
Ive been living with so much hate anger in my life, it was eating me up frim the inside out it reflected on me as a friend, father and husband.
My quality of life was declining and mentally distroying me.
Im a very spiritual person and have experienced and witnessed things that are un explainable.
How ever i was an atheist.
Few months ago i was given a bible, and had a thought, if ive experienced the things i have then who am i to say that god isnt real.
Hiw ever i always had a problem with religion itself main due to the corruption in the churchs.
I hurd the word FAITH, and something inside clicked.
I did extensive research and starting reading the bible, I was lucky enough to have some fantastic friends to help me guide me to god and help me eith my understandings.
Cliffes words have also been a tremendous help to guide me.
I still have a lot to learn and alot to read about.
But im so grateful for my journey so far.
To all those believers in Jesus and god that i have done wrong in my selfish past i sincerely apologise.
Thank you Jesus for never turning your back on me.
A spiritual atheist WTFLIP IS THIS SUPPOSED TO MEAN 🤔 😂? I'm glad you found Jesus Christ but you probably need therapy too to get over dealing with mental and emotional problems
I'm gonna share this all over!
26:00 - I get the, "That's a false dichotomy!" bit all the time. Either nature, super nature, or... give me a 3rd option. Answer: "Some other process!!" Well, would that process be a natural one or something other-something we might call... super nature?"
theres no need for atheist/agnostic to be logical, lol
Please come to North Carolina some day, it’s on my bucket list to meet you
If you ever come to Cincinnati or Kentucky pleaseeee let me know!!
Thank you for all explanations you do God bless
Truth stands the test of time; lies are soon exposed - Proverbs 12:19
Cliffe Rocks!
That last guy has a lot of faith to think that order can be from chaos or life from non life. Thank God for the courage he gives Cliff to not back down against such foolishness.
some people similar to this guy do the same but use bigger words and confuse themselves. God gave Cliffe the gift of knowledge and he sees right through it and i love that too.
Good job keeping your cool 😎!!!
Hey Cliff, people are always asking, "what about the people who has never heard the gospel, will they make it inside heaven"? Your answer is always, " I, DO, NOT, KNOW! But that answer is in Mathew24:14 There shouldn't be any excuses because the world IS getting preached all around the World right now as you speak. ❤

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!
The Torah disagree with you.
Zeccharia 2:10
“Shout and be glad, Daughter Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you,” declares the Lord."
When did your Allah came and lived among us??
.....
"Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me."
Who is speaking here? God! So the Lord of Host will send God.
That's in the Torah my Friend.
And what do the Bible say?
Jesus claimed to be God in human form. He claimed to have been sent by the Father who is also God.
To back that up let's go back to the Torah.
"Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people,"
Which prove that the Lord of Host is also God!
Psaulm 100:3 :"Know that the Lord Himself is God"
But it gets worse for you.
Zechariah 12:10
"And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn."
So when did your Allah died??
in conclusion, Jesus who is our Lord(God)who was sent by the Lord of Hosts (who is our Father), was pierced and mourned for.
Like Jesus died on the cross and we mourned for him.
This is our Trinity.
The Lord who is God was sent by the Lord of Hosts. The Lord poured out his Spirit (The Holy Spirit) on His people causing them to mourn.
Anytime we see the LORD pour out a spirit in the Old Testament, it's always His Spirit being poured out (Ezekiel 39:29 and Joel 2:28-29). So, here the LORD is saying that he will soon pour his Spirit out upon his people. They will be a Spirit-filled people.
When you sin, you sinned against God first.
And that's the beauty of the Gospel.
Look at Zechariah 13:1, "On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness."
Those who mourn the sins that led to the cross will experience the cleansing work of the cross. The cross turns our mourning into laughter, tears into joy.
Which is summarize beautifully.
In John 3:16, the most important passage from the Bible:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
If you refuse that then you have rejected the whole message of the Bible.
And you'll have to answer the Lord Jesus one day.
And Jesus said: On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
How did people get save in the old testament??
- God's promise to Abraham that all people of earth would be blessed through following his example of trusting God's promise and being justified by repentant faith.
So you got saved by trusting in God's promise. What was the promise?
"I will give you this land for your descendants. I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you. I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky."
But how is God gonna do that??
Zechariah 2:10
“Shout and be glad, Daughter Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you,” declares the Lord.
The Apostles understood it perfectly.
Jesus said, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
What is the Law? It's the Will of God.
All of this goes back to the promise God made to Abraham. That's how He's fulfilling His promise.
It's not because the word is getting preached all around the world that everyone all around the world will receive the preaching. Some are going to be left behind, and what will happen to them is unknown based on the teachings of the bible.

Waters Of Joy

like a waterfall
into a hot spring
her tears rolled down
her flushed cheeks
her eyes swollen raw
her stomach inside out
with memories floating
as pure white clouds
dancing from joy to joy
and sorrow to sorrow
such a young life of thirteen
not a young woman yet
nor a child
so much before her
both past and present
while nature and God
usher her into an uncertain time
yet if she reads and prays
His Word Will Become A New Waterfall
With Love, Grace And Wisdom

Although youtube sometimes screws up the comments; and a few never get seen. What did you write?
I’m a little more than halfway through and 3 separate people asked the same question in a different way… and never got a clear answer. I’m saying thing because as a Christian, born and raised.. it’s also a question I have encountered and even asked myself. How do we know that one religion is right and another is wrong? How do we explain to someone who is Muslim or Buddhist that their God is not read and ours is? Cliffe did a wonderful job at circling around that question many times without ever giving a direct answer… I would love to have an answer 🙏🏼🫶🏻
No he doesn’t circle it, he does answer straight. You know how that is?
Read the books yourself…the evidence and difference is in the texts itself…you’re missing the answer right in your face…

lol he just sounded like Stan from South Park I was waiting for the cliffe you killed kenny! 😂
i want to see him teach so bad, i’m not sure where i can find where he’ll be though
Yes!
Regarding the question around 7:25
I believe John 9:41 accounts for this:
Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
That last 10 minutes was awesome hahaha
Would be great if cliff and His son could come to uk and share the gosspel to the kids in schools and universities. But then we can pray that God will use many other Christians to share the gosspel to so msny others. The country truly needs help, the whole wotld needs help. And so thankfully we do have the one true answer. Jesus Christ. The only son of God the one true living almighty God.

❤❤❤❤❤
hey cliffe, i believe in god in the sense that he created the earth and the life on it, i believe in jesus in the sense that he was alive at one point and that he was crucified. I need your help in believing that he whether it’s god or jesus still looks down upon me today and listens to my prayers and sees my actions to determine if i go to theoretical “heaven or hell”. please and thank you for a response.
I’m not Cliffe, but I may be able to help.
You can be sure that Jesus listens to your prayers. He promises to do so in Matthew 7:7.
“Continue to ask, and God will give to you. Continue to search, and you will find. Continue to knock, and the door will open for you.”
Of course, if you pray things outside of God’s Will, those prayers won’t be answered. Like, “Hey, God, kill this dude I don’t like!” We know praying stuff like that is wrong because Jesus teaches to love your enemy. But if you ask God for help in a time of crisis, He is sure to hear you. Jesus is a man of His word.
And it will be hard to believe it sometimes. I’ve had times where I didn’t believe it myself. But God is so, so faithful. I hope this helps.
You never let no one hold you down may our lord and saviour Jesus guide you and help you in days to come god bless you your a very beautiful talker I listen to you everyday and you really show the doubters who’s boss 🫶🙏

Love when they start yelling in their arguments. Shows they are getting frustrated with the circle they are running into.
I need help with a question I heard asked. It was, relating to a verse where the Bible said no one know the day or the hour of the 2nd coming except God. It also said that the son also doesn’t know. The question was how can that be if Jesus is God? Can someone please explain this?
How can you answer someone who says "If God is ever so loving and merciful. Then why can't he just forgive us? Why Jesus have to die?"
AMEN even back decades before most people weren't looking for The Truth but feeling better or superior to others. Apostle Paul accepted his weaknesses as a way to glorify our Creator 🙏👊❤️. 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 2023 after all these decades. 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.
Hey I don’t know if this is the real cliffe knechtle but I have a question that I know I owe God everything that I have because he gave me the greatest gift of life but what if I never wanted to live anyways what if the temptations of sin is so strong that if I know and God as well knows that I’m gonna end up in hell I would have never wanted to be born
There is no god dude. just for a little backup because faith over rides neurological pathways the same heroin does so it's hard to look past faith, just like it's hard for them to ever forget that feeling if it doesn't kill them. but logic can override even something as powerful as your brain. I'd bet my life savings life is after death the same as before we were born. Nothingness on an unimaginable scale.
Once upon a time in laalaaland , life came from non life. Ridiculous 😅
not more ridiculous than believing in a god...
@@matswessling6600 Have you ever tried to really reconcile that thought? Have you really not considered the complexity of life? Which came first...the chicken or the egg? What created all the mass in the universe? Did it create itself...thus making the elements, atoms, motion, energy, light, gravity, and order?
Yes, believing that life came from non-life is absolutely ridiculous. Just as believing that our universe came from "nothing" is also absolutely ridiculous. Can we fully understand God? No. But His Creation, including life, is the clear evidence of Him. And so is His Word.
@@matswessling6600 It's infinitely more rediculous to beleive that the universe created itself.
@@curiousgeorge555 you are not thinking clearly. Assume that there is a god. Assume that this universe was created by that god and god is outside our universe. But then god + our universe is part of something bigger, lets call that Ultiverse. Did ultiverse create itself?
@@matswessling6600 “the nothing-caused-the-universe option is worse than magic. In magic, a magician pulls a rabbit out of a hat. In this case, though, there’s no hat...and no magician. There’s just a rabbit (the universe, in our case) appearing out of nowhere.” ~Greg Koukl
Shall a son say he loves his father but honours him not?

I said this years ago. The Bible explains why Job was allowed to be tested. So why he says I don't know. I don't know because he's wrong as a pastor he should know darn well better.
@@JohnCashin John as I said video go or 2 videos. I really didn't want to have to post you guys even though I kinda like it. John, you guys go in circles and even at times John, you have not been honest with me but because of the kind of post you left I will respond.
What you say is not true and the reason why it's not true. And I'm not saying you're lying. Maybe you don't understand why it's not true, but it's actually very simple.
The subject matter that cliff was asked about is directly spoke of in the Bible. It's not hidden, it's not subjective, it's not secretive, it's not a matter of opinion, it's actually stated in the Bible. So either a as I said, as a pastor he doesn't know his Bible or b, as I also said, he doesn't want to tell the truth, not because he wants to lie, but because he's scared to tell the truth because he wants to have them listen to a certain point of view or way because he wants to try to WIN them Over to Christ and I get it. I understand he wants to win them over to Christ but if they ask an answer he has to give the truth. Booth not not say I don't know okay if he knows he needs to speak it if he doesn't know that's right. Be honest, but then you should know his Bible. Because the answer was right there. And if you aren't the scriptures, John, I'll give it to you.
@@JohnCashin I've sent you an email.
@@JohnCashin Well, thank you for your sincere honesty. And I plan on posting this right there for people to say so. They understand the difference between you and others that I've spoken with. Furthermore, sometimes people just don't realize what they really should say. Either they're afraid or they're confused. Sometimes satan puts a head around them. So they won't say it because they don't want the truth out. But I can't judge cliff for the reason. I'm only judging his fruit. I can't judge his heart just his fruit. I hope you understand that phrase I've explained that to you before. Either way, I'm still gonna pray for you that you wake up because time is running out and I'm not saying that it's a scary tactic, as Jason always says, we never know and we're gonna die. That's just a fact of life. But even if you don't die and Christ comes in the air and you haven't chosen christ, then there is no more choice after that. There is no other second chance. I hope you really do search these scriptures to understand God's true love for job. It's the same true love. He has for you and for me.
@@JohnCashin I'm not readily checking the comments in the actual video I just saved the notification comment you left so let me know if you've done any research on those verses I've till we've been a couple days, so I'm just saying, let me know in the future. Okay, I don't hear from You with a certain amount of time. I will check on you though. Make sure you're okay.
@@JohnCashin No, I'm not worried. I just wanted to make sure you knew that I'm not normally on the video but also because, as you know, CZcams deletes in ghost comments so I can make it confusing. That's all I appreciate you understanding as well. The same thing basically.

Atheist's despises the possiblity of there being a Creator so much that they are trying desperately to recreate creation in their own minds with nonsensical ideas, which takes much more faith to believe in than to believe in God.
I just thought of this, and I know you’re the guy to ask. Was God three beings at the beginning of time or was he just one since he hadn’t become Jesus yet, and the Holy Spirit is the love between God the Father and God the Son?
Where did fluid come from in your fluid dynamics?

25:40. I wonder what that kid thinks now that the atheist scientists have discovered the universe is not infinite or eternal. I bet he's even madder than he was back then.
We haven't discovered that the universe isn't eternal.
We know the universe as we know it today had a beginning, that is not the same thing.
@@LordMathious If something had a beginning, it wasn't eternal to begin with. Go do some workouts and stop the mental gymnastics for a little bit.
@viktor.c.r. I don't think you understand.
The universe, as we know it right now, began with the big bang. The universe in terms of all the energy that constitutes it could be eternal. We don't know if it had a beginning.
There are no mental gymnastics here, and I'd rather not go back to the gym today.
If you need further clarification I'd be happy to give it to you.
@@LordMathious Again, look at your own phrasing: "The universe, as we know it right now, BEGAN with the big bang."
It is easier for me if you just accept that you do not know what happened because science cannot grasp it at the moment. I'll give you the time to understand you lost.
Also, "The universe in terms of all the energy that constitutes it could be eternal."
We both know that matter and energy, even in unstable formats, have a shelf life. Either you accept the widely theorized concept that the universe is in evolution and expanse (meaning that there is a beginning implied) or come up with something new.

Question✋
Why didn’t we just continue the practice from the Old Testament the offering of harvest and animals for forgiveness for our sins? Why do we need a New covenant thru Jesus if God forgives the sins anyway when the israelites give offerings in the altar? Thank you
The old testament sacrafices were a picture of the future sacrafice of Jesus. Jesus also came to be the FINAL sacrafice for all our sins.
@@dhaferland7930 so the old sacrifices, does the people before gets forgiven through those sacrifices?
in faith of the one that came @@isaiah3165 , Jesus Christ of Nazareth! Repent of your sin & trust in Him (Mark 1:15/Acts 3:19) before it's too late (Hebrews 9:27)
@isaiah3165 The people under the Old Testament laws would practice the Old Testament laws for forgiveness. That is what God set so they could be forgiven before Jesus Christ became the eternal sacrifice.
I pray the only triune God of the:
1)supernaturally fulfilled prophecy (Romans 1:26-32/2 Timothy 4:3/Matthew 24:6/1 Corinthians 1:18)
2)historically verified (archaeologically & anthropologically by Christians & non-Christians w/enemy/early/multiple attestation, internal consistency, embarrassing reports, etc. & no credible historian denies Jesus existence & His body never found, consistent w/1 Cor 15)
3)transcendentally/objectively moral (Exodus 20/Matthew 22:37-40) Holy Bible reveals Himself to you in Spirit & objective truth (John 16:13).
May the triune, infallible, omniscient God bless you with faith in Him, not fallible man’s limited knowledge of theories(Romans 1:22, "Claiming to be wise, they became fools"). Repent of your rebellion against the triune God (Romans 3:23) & trust in Jesus FREE gift from His perfect sacrifice (Mark 1:15/Acts 3:19) before it's too late (Hebrews 9:27)!
The odds of life coming about by chance are more than 10^50 against it could not happen no matter how much time you gave it
its interesting to see how hard it is for people to understand the idea of creation. God didnt "come from anywhere" and God was not created. God is creation. The very question of what created God is a paradox because God is the creator of all. It exists outside of creation. It cannot be created, needs not to be created, and never has "existed" within reality. Its a being beyond measure, understanding, logic, rationale, or reality. It does not exist and yet it is all that exists.
Cliffe got a lil feisty at the end😭

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.
Can’t figure out why the guy in white was so emotional about the topic.
9:28--The answer to this question is yes. You will be forgiven, and you will go to Heaven if you truly never knew God or Jesus.
Like if you were born of another faith and lived that faith, and never even heard of Jesus, God, or the Bible, that sin IS forgiven. Because you truly did not know.
But if you come to know Jesus, and reject Him for your original God, then that is a sin, and that is not forgiven.
What happens to a person that follows the commandments of jesus and loves his next like himself, but doesnt believe that Jesus is God. Does that mean rejecting the gift of jesus? I know that no "good" actions can bring a person to heaven. My point is just if the person doesnt believe that jesus is god thats the only point but is aside from that is doing its best to act like jesus wants us to
Well that's a very disingenuous question because you do what God says but don't accept His Existence isn't a sin because you don't know He exists if that's the case.
@@justingary5322 I see. Yes thanks a lot. Because the question for me is If a Person follows what Jesus says but Just doesn't believe in him as god. Is that Person really sepperate from him or Not? Thanks for the answer, that makes sense to me 👍
job was in Sin … he was self righteous… and being self righteous… is a sin and there the devil legally allowed to mess with Job bcuz Job was already worshipping the devil and didn’t know … god tricks Satan and eventually makes Job better than before
God world is the real-world we are living in heaven is so realthis earth is fading away people be ready for another life
Atheist: “I don’t believe in your God or the Bible but let me argue with you incessantly for hours about it & regardless of whatever points you make that makes sense about the authenticity of the Bible, I’m not changing my mind.”
i *would* change my mind if the evidence was credible ronwan, plenty of Christians over the years have asked me directly "what would it take for you to change your mind"?, i tell them, and the conversation tends to drift to a halt. The whole subject of God is one that has fascinated me since I was a little boy. I deal on a daily basis with people who have all kinds of terrible illnesses, many of them terminal, it kind of focus's the mind as to what life is all about and the bigger picture, if there is one. Can you think of a better subject to talk about? How do we go about determining what is true, and what might not be true? Is truth important? That is the question.
@@bonnie43uk The evidence of creation points to a creator.
@@ronwan1408 that's a standard Christian reply ronwan, but science tells a much more amazing answer. If you wanted to find out how old the earth is, what would be your go-to source for such information?
@@bonnie43uk Science actually points is to a creator.
@@ronwan1408How so? How old is the planet we live on ronwan, and how long have homo sapiens been on the planet?
You may not see this but I have a question about hell so it says hell was created for Satan and his angles right so does that mean God created hell after the 7th day I’m honestly confused and ik that aspect doesn’t really matter I just like know what God did it really fascinates me
Matthew 25:41 "Hell was created for The Devil and his Angels" not angles 😂. We don't know when God created Hell because The Bible never tells us
Hell exists outside of time just as all spiritual celestial beings are. Satan rebelled in eternity therefore i think its safe to assume hell was already a place before the earth was created because God bounded us to time when he made this earth and us. The bible doesnt say this specifically but this is what I would think makes sense. The reason God wont forgive satan is because satan sinned and rebelled in eternity.
I feel like there were a couple people he didn’t answer completely
Who? Or what questions?
Just curious.
Usually feels that way because we don’t understand the answer or the answer doesn’t come the way we expected.
