- Program 1623 ................... - More than Matter and Energy - Judgement - What is Truth? ..............
Recorded at Texas State University - October 2022.
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.

The guy that found it implausible that a person can openly admit to date-rape with no consequences is obviously ignorant to human nature and moral depravity.
I think the problem is not really that he did not believe Cliff, he probably was just shocked that nobody had done anything about it.
@@Dmitryzakharov And that still shows an ignorance about human nature and moral depravity
@@theidentitychristispodcast yes it does I agree.
A very soft guy too. He wouldn't do anything about it at all.
Why didn't they call the cops with the information instead of expecting someone else to do it?
They cry when God does nothing about evil
But then they cry when God does something about evil
That's true when goes does do something about evil people like to complain on how he did it or why which it just stupid God knows the right way and time to handle something if he is going to. People need to know that God has created us with free will so if someone's wants to do evil he will let them but there will be a time when that person will get what they deserve and it will be for an eternity I've just gotta say many of these unbelievers have no idea what they are talking about till they come to God and get answers from the Bible or the holy spirit through prayer. We can communicate with god in multiple ways and he will answer I know that for a fact personally.
True story.
Well that guy was clearly making stuff up about Christianity and theism 😂. 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 " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro 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.
@@justingary5322 wow Justin good job 👏 I enjoyed hearing your story and thoughts I can tell you put your heart into it as you should it's sad to say majority of this world doesn't know god but the gods word already says people will perish for lack of knowledge and that many for fall under the mark of the beast and will walk to broad path all we want as Christians is for people to have a relationship with Jesus so they to can see what we do but I know one thing when people end up in in hell they would wish they had listened to all these street preachers they've walked passed and mocked I can onlu imagine the faces of people once they see Jesus only for him to say depart from me your worker of Iniquity.

Dude from 17 minutes asked, got an answered, asked for clarification, and then understood the point and learned. Hope university students are as intellectually open as him. Bless his heart and mind hope there's potential for spiritual growth for sure.
I thought it was hilarious when he capped him up like he grew up on the streets of Harlem lmao
Dapped*
@@Odie1057😂 14:18 v. H😊 😊
Mister Cliff made them all that Comfortable to ask Clarification when they don't Understand something, Encouraged their Curiosity and the guy from 17th minute even was a bit playful about it. Very Heartwarming to see all this. My Hope is that we may see these fellow people in Heaven with us [through their Repentance and Faith in as well as Love for our Lord].
that was so wholesome
That handshake was mad respect. That guy walking off is the pinnacle of arrogance
He knew he was about to get rolled intellectually 😂 smart move
They are the sick and twisted generation of Sodom that their parents have "raised." Good is evil and evil is Good to them. Most of them aren't seeking truth, they are seeking worship of self and being their own false god. Believers have to keep praying God will open their eyes and heart.
And he continues to believe that there is no answer, even though Cliffe made a great point, free will. We can choose, to do good, or to do evil.

Cliffe has more tolerance for ignorance and stupidity from college students than I could ever have. A testimony of his patience and love.
They are not stupid. Many of these kids are intelligent, on the path to understanding. It is on them ultimately to keep searching and to find God themselves. Cliff is only a messenger telling them that there is water in the desert if they keep looking. Christ exists.
@@TR13400No, the kids at the beginning are incredibly stupid. Especially the girl that asked “so you think date rape is acceptable?”
Many of these college students have been taught a curriculum of lies that are being used to disassociate the definition of gender and the words male and female. The words for man and woman have been changed, by those in power, to confuse the mind of those that have to write papers and listen to lectures for and by people that benefit from a confused or seperated population. Companies see how colleges are teaching the future employed population and they are deciding, to have good, reliable employees willing to be an asset to the company would rather train those they hire than hire indoctrinated college graduates. The employer can afford to train employees cheaper than they can deal with the irrational minds that were programmed by a government controled education, where they teach separation and not to communicate intelligently with others and learn true history and biology. These two subjects, alone, can fix about 50% of the division in the U.S. alone! History teaches why countries have borders and legal ways to enter or stay in that country. Governments have learned, by damaging or even destroying society, they are able to create more laws and give themselves more control over the people and money when they cause disagreements and even speak lies that point out differences between class, gender, or race that don't actually exist. These tactics were used in Germany, by Hitler to divide the citizens and allowed him to conquer Germany first. He accomplished this by removing and separating those that he didn't want as part of his Germany. He had a vision of his idea of a perfect society and he continued lying until it became truth to those not imprisoned and killed by him. Many in government are doing exactly what Hitler did to try and stay in control and run the country their way, without anyone confronting their efforts. They are looking for a way to destroy our constitution and the people's willingness to stand up against a tyrannical government! They want to control and choose their own fate and they planned on Covid and the injections to remove millions of baby boomers and gen z by using fear of being locked down unless you got the shots. They wanted more people killed during the riots too. They want, as close to half of the population gone by 2050. They believe they can control that number, as long as the two oldest groups are not here to stand up to their seizure of control. That gives them time to train decades of people to do what they are told to do.
The kid says that he thinks it was a lie and as soon as cliffs starts to explain himself, the kid goes on his phone. That speaks a thousand words alone.
So disrespectful, showed his true character
Can you mark where, please?
@@peanut_i_guessas cliffe is explaining, the kid who accused him puts his head down and starts scrolling on his phone. it was in the middle of their interaction
@@peanut_i_guess 3:14
That young man in the red just wanted to argue. He looked for places to disrupt not discuss. At one point he misconstrued a point and “did a little spin”. He (and the equally disagreeable girl in the cap) seem to be blaming “grape” on Cliffe at one stage. They listened to nothing. Said everything.
The young lady with the rainbow sweater was SO open that I felt like the Holy Spirit was really convicting her previous heart. I pray that God would reveal Himself to her in a real and tangible way; that she would turn her heart to Jesus and live her life according to his word. Thank you, Cliff for your ministry.
May she be sculpted into a Gentle Kind woman of GOD, to Love His Grace more than anyone and do Good for His Glory. Amen.
Me too.
I pray that she turns to the light?
That old man ran faster than Usain Bolt after asking his question.

@@DamePigletI don't know man, that at least sounds like a very hostile and gross way of speaking about another human being just like us.
Y'all are hating on someone that is just trying to promote Christ and kindness fr
@@DamePigletget over yourself. As a believer in God I think what you just said was distasteful
The reason that no one did anything to the sick person who admitted to raping someone was a phenomenon known as the bystander effect.
I do think he should have been tooken behind bars myself but it's fine if he doesn't know Jesus by the time he comes back that guy will have all what he deserves because he won't be with god unless he has forgiveness of sin.
Agreed. But the guy in the glasses warps himself into frustration at the thought of anything less. He wants badly to believe that his worldview is a proper framing of it that he would grasp at straws at any dissonance from it
@@ramblincapuchin9075those who called it out had self righteousness and is using it to discredit Cliffe's experience instead of listening to the point that it is evil, they jumped on another point to avoid it.
@@jhedjoardumago7691Exactly they were so disingenious. They wanted it to seems like Cliffe was tolerante of rape or lying about the man saying it. I just couldnt waste my time talking to closed minded hard hearted people. They don't want any challenge to their worldview.
@@dashriprock5720that's what I was thinking. Say Cliffe did report it, okay... what good does that do? If there was no known victim, no other evidence, what else could have he possibly done?
It would have the same result.
I was a lukewarm earlier this year who just started to look into Christianity in more depth, and have said regrettable things to atheists that could have pushed them further away from Christ. I'm a teen learning from Christians like Cliffe and now I aspire to have the same confidence as him and take opportunities to evangelise. Please pray for me. 🙏🏼
The Prophet now reproves not only one kind of evil, but brings together every sort of crimes; as though he said, that the Israelites were in every way corrupt and perverted. He says first, that there was among them no faithfulness, and no kindness. He speaks here of their contempt of the second table of the law; for by this the impiety of men is sooner found out, that is, when an examination is made of their life: for hypocrites vauntingly profess the name of God, and confidently (plenis buccis - with full cheeks) arrogate faith to themselves; and then they cover their vices with the external show of divine worship, and frigid acts of devotion:
I met Cliffe this weekend in the airport. He is an amazing person who strives to serve Christ and to be more like him. He is a great role model. Amazing man!
@@The2029isComing The divine initiative. Co-operative grace or Operative grace, as Thomas Aquinas taught? Do you believe faith precedes regeneration or regeneration precedes faith?
@The2029isComing I understand. My reasoning is for you, for you to see what's been hidden from you.
Why has theology been removed from modern-day Christianity? What is theology? Why is it important? What is my theology? Do I have a theology? Why do I believe what I believe about God and Christianity?
Do you agree with the Bible that teaches we're all dead, dead to God, and enmity with God? All of humanity? That's what the Bible teaches. Have you read Psalm 5, 5?
It says God hates workers of iniquity, aka hates sinners. Cliff might think he's doing, working, as God calls, but he's teaching Arminianism, the Pelagian controversy as it's known.
That man, humanity is not dead but able to come Christ by their own faith and merits. Thomas Aquinas taught, regarding Eph. 2, 1 that its operative grace, not co-operative grace. The Divine initiative. God alone quickens his elect. Paul teaches Eph. 2, 1-3 we're dead, slaves of Satan and our sins and trespasses, etc. If we're dead, slaves to sins and trespasses, and Satan, can I make myself alive by faith if I'm dead? Can a slave set themselves free? Research and see for yourself.
@@The2029isComing nope.
Cliffe is so good at apologetics and providing a reason for the hope that lies within him. These videos are helping to sharpen my own skills at communicating the gospel.

He speaks in a very Confident way, GOD Please Bless him and people like him.

Don't you mean _theists_ are quick to blame this 'God' for everything?
@@Theo_Skeptomaiwell if you actually listened, nobody says natural disasters, or death and war are acts of God. Not everything that happens is because he wants it to be
@crypt1d550 You're WRONG. I have known many a theist who believe EVERYTHING occurs according to the will of a particular god.
Lost and hurt people, no matter what their belief system, like to blame God for everything. It's goofy, and how can God be to blame for everything when we have free will? Idk why people can't figure out even the most simplistic things 😂
If you're a sinner then you would keep your bank account. Because if you don't need it then you wouldn't have money to support and provide for yourself. Because Cliffe is using lots of different metaphors to prove his point to be right instead of it being the other way around and that's why.
Starting to turn into less of “give me an answer” and more like “give me a break” 😭
Seriously it sure has! Even I was tired at times I just stop watching because what people say is just literally stupid and then they wanna put everything on cliff as if he's the problem.

That guy accusing him of lying is a perfect example of evil. How on earth can someone just randomly assume someone is lying with no evidence?😵💫😵💫😵💫 I know what it's like to be falsely accused of lying. It is utterly astonishing how anyone can accuse a stranger of dishonesty. It is like assuming a truck has no engine because the owner told you the engine has a certain amount of horsepower.
watching Cliff do this over the decades with college kids, Its amazing to see how sensitive and illogical students get year after year.
So, how'd these people you think became Christian, become Christian? By accepting Jesus? Ok. How'd they make themselves alive to do that which Jesus said they did not? John 15, 16. Modern-day Evangelical Pharisees . Lord, look what I've done! Am I a Christian why yes, because I... get it now?

John 5:32 "If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true."
It was obvious how short their attention was and how ignorant they were when the guy called him a liar and the girl said he was supporter of rape. After He flat out said he called the guy evil and the guy started texting when cliff responded to a serious question and allegation.
Wow I love how they blame you for someone else's actions.
This world really has become lovers of themselves
You know they would protest putting the rapist to death but defend murdering the possible result (baby) of the rape
I really love how Cliffe ended this one: "Some of you should be squirming right now, because you know very very well that you have never asked, what is the evidence that whatever it is I'm living for is true".
Ironically a question Cliffe should ask himself, as one without strong, logical evidence of a god. (Although it's certainly possible Cliffe doesn't actually believe and is simply living based on the real evidence that he makes money convincing people to believe in this idea.)
There is historical evidence for the Bible. It points to the Creator. Secular scholars agree to the veracity of the Bible.
We preach the truth and hold ourselves to what we preach.
What do you base your life off of? How you feel? What do you use as your guidance in life's tough moments? Ask yourself the hard questions and do not shy away from the light, grace and mercy are there for those who accept it.
God bless!
@@Dmiudo That contains a lot of little, _important_ mistakes.
1. I'm asking for evidence of a god. (Not a creator. We know creators exist; I created this comment, for example. 100% of creators we have evidence of _aren't gods._ )
2. I'm asking for evidence of a god, not of the Bible being a historic text or mentioning some history. If Gary shows you a book that recounts _with perfect accuracy_ the Napoleonic Wars, but then goes on to claim _"leprechauns exist",_ it'd be crazy to use the historic evidence to justify believing in leprechauns, right? Well similarly you need evidence of a god, and a god-claim simply sharing the same book as a fact (like "Jerusalem exists") doesn't prove the god-claim in the slightest.
3. My life has _many_ goals. You have evidence of one of them: _spend my time trying to help people detach from irrational beliefs._
I do it in part because life's toughest moments _aren't made easier by delusions._ When one has cancer, the worst thing you can do is rush into buying a fake cancer cure, and then dying. So it turns out _truth matters,_ and you should value it more. But that means relying on evidence to form your beliefs, and so if you can't figure out _strong, logical evidence of a god_ then you should abandon belief -- because it sure looks like a fake cancer cure to me.
@@majm9309you lack discernment he wouldn't be out on the street doing this if he was making all this money he would have a mega church like Joel Osteen, td Jakes, Benny hinn, and countless others
@@russellbarlow1796 See? No evidence of a god. The most critical _foundation_ to theism, and you're completely disinterested, veering sharply towards other topics. Like truth itself (reality itself; evidence) doesn't matter to you. What did truth _do_ to you to make you dislike it?
Meanwhile, _is Cliffe working another job?_ Almost certainly not. So clearly it _is_ what he makes his living on, and I wasn't even wrong on the topic you veered towards.
This bloke has genuinely started something in me. I do not really know how to describe it but what I once saw as total lunacy is starting to make sense.
God has touched your mind and given you new eyes. There's no going back from this point, once He lets you peer beyond the veil of society, you can't un-see it. If you earnestly ask Jesus to reveal Himself to you, He will. It will be in a way that is deeply personal to you specifically, in a way that is so intimate and secret that it will be impossible to fully explain to anyone else, and there will be no other explanation that satisfies the miracle of it. If you're feeling like you suddenly have the desire to do and be things you've never particularly been drawn towards, that's Him. That's how it works, He changes you, makes you better. Your desires shift, in many ways quite dramatically and away from yourself. Once a mortal being hears the actual truth of the universe, simply the act of hearing it starts to work on your psyche.
Embrace the change, Jesus will literally save your life.
@_The_Traveler_ Brother, I think you have perfectly described my predicament. I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to send me such a message I truly to appreciate it.
Over the past weeks and months I have been massively drawn to Christ in weird ways. It's hard to explain but you just kinda feel it if that makes any sense.
I wish you well friend.
@@alanrichardson1816this comments section can be a pit. I’m so glad I came across yours 💚.
Walk with that feeling. Look for the signs they are there for YOU to discover. It’s your journey - a journey it sounds like you’ve already started whether you know it or not 💚 God bless you stranger from the internet. You are loved!
Imagine all adults being like this guy and trying so hard with love and respect to teach the young people ...
This man is a treshure.
treshure?
The new kids have the most aggressive stance, but the least amount of evidence. They also become really passive and moldable once confronted. Lol
Evidence for which claim?
You gotta break through their initial wall of Pride first. These kids are so sure of what they've been programmed to think against God because they've never been challenged on it before.
That sums up our current generation. Iv never known such close minded individuals.
Please pray for me and my children. I know no matter our struggle, We can turn to God our Heavenly Father. Lord please continue to give me strength to overcome my fears. I want to give up and quit because I’m overwhelmed. But I keep faith even as I constantly struggle to take care of my children and I’m constantly struggling to buy groceries. My husband died years ago. At times I feel so alone. I’m a single mom. I suffered an heart attack a year ago and I’m battling lupus so my health is failing. Both of my sons are autistic. I praise you Lord even as I constantly struggling to pay rent. Help me Jesus as I struggle to buy my children’s school supplies because I want to give up. I don’t know how I’m going to get through this, but thankfully I have you Lord! I know you will provide. Faith over fear! Praise God and his son Yeshua!
Hey Tiff, I'm so sorry for your loss and for your situation. I will pray for you Tiff. Please continue to have trust and have faith in our Lord. I too, have my own struggles, but I will continue to trust in the Lord and have faith in Him, now and forevermore.
May the Lord continue to keep you and your children. Amen
God bless you. Youre in my prayers
Praying for your healing, comfort, strength, peace, joy, and financial stability! God bless you and your faith! Your faith is beautiful!
The welcoming smile and handshake that he gave to that young man also does a great deal. The peace, the happiness, the love that he spreads through Jesus makes such a difference. When my eyes were blind, I did not respond well to just words. But what did catch my attention was finally coming across TRUE believers that spread His light. Of course once I was in they started pointing out what I should change as a believer, but before they could scare me away, they caught me with their love. I wanted some of what they had, you know? That light.
So on that day, the day you became a Christian, what did you do that made you Christian? Most people normally, honestly, answer how they decided to choose Jesus and accepted him into their heart, life by invitation or invitationalism of the sinners prayer, confession, etc. Is that what you did?
@@SmellofFemaleAll that matters that you do, is just that you accept His truth. Then from then, you make an effort on growing in Him. By reading His word, starting to pray, just wanting to follow Him. Then you’ll feel him working his magic in you- through your spirit. A beautiful, beautiful thing.
@mr.jay1150 Firstly, tell me how you make yourself alive to do that? According to Paul, we're all dead, slaves to sin because of Adam. Romans 5 12, Eph. 2, 2-3, and so, you're saying in the final analysis it's bcuz of what you've done. Right? Well, that's incorrect biblically.
@@SmellofFemale We’re all condemned to death. Yes, as soon as we’re born. Sin rules inside of us. Now, Jesus comes into the picture. Sacrifices Himself on the cross and dies with our sins. Now we’re made good in God’s eyes. Then, out of His mercy He gives us The Holy Spirit. This is considered being reborn. Our old self and our way of living has died on the cross with Jesus. Now we have the opportunity to not live by our flesh, but by the Spirit. I don’t understand your last part?
@mr.jay1150 not what you said. You said, "all that you do" that is justification plus... an you are dead not able to do. So how'd you make yourself alive to "do?"
I used the same arguments to justify my degenerate lifestyle from 18-40. Deep inside I knew I was doing wrong.
God is good, I'm thankful you found Jesus, friend
These students display the effect of “Higher Education.”
That’s why cliffe loves them
Easy pickings
The sad truth of higher education today.
That sad part is they had to pay an exorbitant price for it too
@@Zack.G23
Do you display the effects of Cliffes ignorant Christian followers ?
@@jasonnoble7302Nope ! Because of Christ I learn to love myself and others around me telling them by their own evil action will lead to their downfall 😊
Yes living in sexual immorality is a sinful lifestyle, whether you’re homosexual or heterosexual or any other sexual, it’s a sin not according to me or Cliff but according to the Bible.
True repentance is understanding the severity of sin and believing in Jesus Christ for salvation. Turning from a sinful lifestyle is the result of true repentance, and true trust in Jesus Christ.
I hope you’re physically fit because I can quote multiple Scriptures that call gluttony a sin worthy of death. Gotta love my fellow Christians who constantly gripe about sins of the flesh and the while walking around big as house and thinking it’s not a sin.
@NewCreationInChris896 Well put.
@@Lunchladydoyle I agree that gluttony is considered a sin and people look the other way too much. However, I'm not aware of "multiple scriptures that call gluttony a sin worthy of death." Can you reference a couple of these?
I first started watching Cliff back around 08/09 and even in that short time the change in students is frightening. So woke is incredible
This is very true. General rule of thumb is, if the camera looks to be a handy cam/video camera quality the students will listen respectfully and POSSIBLY be taught. The clearer the camera quality, the angrier the students get.
Young people now live in a permanent performance. They say what they think they are supposed to. They think, very little.
I love how he provides evidence and tells an example for the students to understand ❤
News flash, kids, people can say whatever they want. Someone can say that they robbed a bank but it doesnt necessarily make it true. You cant prosecute someone for saying they did something if there is no victim or evidence. If its true then he's evil but we live in a country that requires evidence for prosecution.
I've been listening and watching Cliffe for years. I can honestly say I'm scared regarding how the minds and attitudes of young people have deteriorated. Watch a Cliffe video ten years or older and note the deterioration for yourself. Things are getting worse.
I love to see Cliff still has it for the Lord as much today as he did twenty years ago. ❤
The old man that ran away was a fool. What a brilliant teaching, so wise. Praise God 🙌
He remembered his lunch time was over 🤣
Cliff looked like he already knew that the man was going to interrupt him as soon as he tried to answer the question 😂
I have been watching these videos for over the last two weeks and I’m just completely enamored by the entire exchange, especially with cliffe’s intellect. I don’t know how old the man is but to be still doing this at whatever age that he is standing around for hours, getting berated with questions shows boldness that is very hard to replicate, truly a gift given from God
Lewis once wrote, “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pain: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”
This is the first time I’ve taken the time to see a complete video of Cliffe. I admire the man’s strength in the face of adversity. Over the years I understood the importance of confrontation , especially when people challenge and corrupt truth. He might come very strong and direct with the answers, but he has love.
I would had loved to meet such bold man preaching the word of The Lord openly in my school years.
Amen. I think Cliffe is a role model a lot of us lacked when we were the age a lot of these (very angry) students.
Very often people listen to what they want to hear, rather than what someone is actually saying.
God bless this man for the respect and patience he exudes. So many times in this video did i lose my patience and gave into anger and confusion for some of these questions and people.
God bless your family and Ministry 🙏❤
Always anticipate your video
Cliffe knows that calling the cops on everything illegal that he hears will only address the symptoms. Cliffe is trying to get to the cause, which is sin of the human heart.
Amen!!
Yes, sir, the root of the sin is much worse than the symptoms
We need more people like Cliff who I just recently came across. He has wisdom and a lot of patience to handle this kind of responsibility. So many college students, while they have have the academic capabilities, lack in real life experiences. The type of indoctrination being taught in colleges is a very dangerous thing. Parents, be vigilant. Find out what’s being taught in these universities. God bless you Cliff!
5:45 Lady: "You saying raped is acceptable?"
Everyone else: Have you not be listening.
Gosh students dont listen...
Universities are the most expensive babysitting services in America. Students are stupid. They lack critical thinking and do not support free speech.
FACTS they don't listen 🤣. Well that guy was clearly making stuff up about Christianity and theism 😂. 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 " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro 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.

Cliffe has way more patience than I would with these people.
I really do appreciate these conversations. I am learning how to ask better questions as well as respond more calmly. I admire how you are able to respond and respect the other people in these discussion. I hope to get better at that.
Those students have no idea that someone saying they did something and therefore that alone would equate to them being arrested is implausible.
Dude in the red pants honestly thinks he just asked the most groundbreaking question of all time
na it is a good question
Funny how you talk about the dude in the red pants, but the girl in the white shirt saying “you can call yourself a woman tomorrow and that’s ok”💀
I'm sure he doesn't know his gender and pronouns ...western 🤡 🐸 are always entertaining
It was ground breaking for him, and the goal of asking questions is to learn. He did learn and he is happy.
Heck yes Cliffe! Thank you for another video. You are a very smart guy. I wish you would point out the constant logical fallacies these children keep making. And yes they are children. I can tell by how dumb and ignorant their rejections and arguments are. God bless them though and God bless you and your family. Thank you for talking to these kids
Especially the older man walking away from asking a question. Foolish and ignorant
Spot on. What do they even learn in school. Not very much it seems.
That boomer walking off was the worst though. Asking such a profound question.
Basically he asked 'why does god allow evil'? Which is a good question, but especially
Cliff must've answered that a million times already. It was not a question that came as a surprise, and anyone should find the answer to that question within themselves, thats what I believe at least.
The fact he didn't even want to hear an answer is just urgh.

@@andyhenrymick2869 my answer to that question is there is no such thing as evil if God doesn’t exist. So the Atheist has an even bigger problem with evil as it doesn’t exist. If no God there is no should or oughts, there only is.
Sometimes students and young people just plant their feet and refuse to move, refuse to learn. These students knew they had no reason to give you a hard time. Don’t let them get you down. These kids decided they were better and knew more than you, and they clearly had no respect for a very respectable man who had learned more than them, over a long lifetime. The new generation is sometimes unreachable. But I have respect for you for being one of the ones sowing hope, and trying to pass down good sense and ethic.
It’s the way the first group looked like they were having a meeting to come up with another question lol. Thank you for your work and servant-hood even in today’s messed up society. God bless you!

Come to SoCal. Many crimes are committed without any repercussions for the ones who commit the crimes. Not all but most.
Difference between sex and gender is that up until recently (in this last 40 -50yrs) the etymology of the word Gender was used in place of sex to differentiate male/female vs intercourse sex. So gender was used to address biological sex instead of intercourse sex. But there are essentially synonymous. Its not until academia and the introduction to trans/gender ideologies that this was altered to try to distinguish the two
Yes agree they are related. Your sex determines your Gender. That easy!

I love all these people gathered asking questions learning so much ❤
I love the way the young lady with the rainbow sweater was respectful and humble to hear! Also (but as always) how Cliffe was genuinly listening to what her had to say!
God bless you sir!!! You are a true man of god!! You have a godly gift of patience and I pray the lord also blesses me with that one day!! The way you handle a whole group of people attacking and trying to poke holes in you with love, respect and honesty is something I truly appreciate gods blessings upon you pastor!!
S/O to the black guy being respectful and challenging on the question! That was awesome
I came in contact with cliffe and Stuart videos on Facebook early this year. I have been really challenged and blessed by every one of them
I cannot even believe these are university students asking such horrendous questions.
The education system has gone down the drain and I don’t wanna pay for it with my tax money
Thank you for sharing the Gospel. God bless you
such a blessing to watch cliffe having serious discussion
Those last questions are stunning! Thanks, Cliffe!
I love the way he changes peoples outlook, they have questions, he answers them to the best of his capabilities, notices that, and greets him like he’s meeting a new man, and that’s exactly how you should greet someone that finally STARTS to grasp god love and the reason we follow him.

Thank you for your honesty.
Cliffe, you are brilliant and clearly have a mind that has been saturated with the Word of God. The wisdom, the compassion, the love you project outwards towards all. And the wisdom is available to you at a moments notice. You see it in the ability to instantly answer these hard questions. Most would answer the questions with the wisdom of the world...or in other words, have no good answer. But your answers clearly come from your love and following of God. Every one of your videos leaves me with something I can take with me and apply to my life. Thank you and God bless you!
I love that young black man. God bless him. I also think that young lady with the microphone is beautiful!!
These kids think morality is evolving to make us more moral. They need to get out more.
I've prayed for decades as though I am standing with God having a Personal Conversation. When I am selfless in my prayers I feel so much better but when I've been selfish (even when I didn't realize it in the moment) I did NOT Feel Better.
Poor America😢😢😢
This is an interesting episode. I had a good laugh listening to Cliffe explaining what gender and sex are to a grown person. Rocket scientists should just start asking people about gender and sex in their interviews
and still, that girl can't understand it.
i watched an late 90's video of cliffes and just seeing the difference in peoples overall intellect is crazy. How people spoke so well and honestly back then, and now they just blabber.
And try to “Win”
As the camera quality improves, the dialogue collapses. You could use Cliffes videos as direct evidence of the downfall of the education system.
Guy asks a question and just buries himself on his phone.
I love this man, he is definitely doing Gods work. God bless you always.❤❤
The last few minutes of this video was excellent!!!!
Cliffe, I wish you would do more of the transcendental argument for God. I know you’ve touched on it before but keep bringing it back. It destroys all Atheists and leaves them speechless.
As a reasonable, educated human, it seems to me as practically impossible that anybody could disregard this speaker's tremendous testimony and his considerate/tactful way of addressing so many tough questions and biased statements thrown at him. I hope that a seed was planted in a majority of that crowd and that God will show his love personally to each one of them. Cliffe is an inspiring example on respectful dialog, and professional faith-based public debate. We need more like him.
This is really educational to watch. Thank you
I am so blessed by the explanations this man gives; about secular and religious matters that span Global time. If a person will not even give a listen a open moment. There is no hope by that approach.
Honestly the way these college ppl talk to Cliffe is disgusting and so disrespectful.
Well we should try to respect _people_ of course, but the _ideas_ Cliffe is trying to spread don't deserve our respect _at all,_ because they don't appear to be based on reality (ie truth).
@@majm9309 You wouldn't like it if a Christian talked to you like that to anybody... You just coping...
@@cansrick1806 Do you see how you're talking about _liking_ things and I'm talking about _what's true?_ I don't like that children get cancer, but the evidence proves they _do_ get cancer. So I match my belief to that. Meanwhile we don't have evidence of any gods, so we don't know they exist, so we shouldn't believe in them (if we're matching our beliefs to reality -- a reality where _we don't have any detections of a god._ ).
So there's no "coping". It's just a person calmly explaining why bad ideas shouldn't be respected. And your lack of strong, logical evidence of a god means the idea of gods doesn't deserve anyone's respect.
@@majm9309well we should *respect* you of course, but the *ideas* you are trying to spread are *not* worth our time, because you’re just denying something with no back up evidence (ie ignorance).
What a stupid thought lol
@@cansrick1806 What are you even trying to say? It's simple: until the first believer provides evidence of a god, we don't know any gods exist. So then anyone spreading the idea appears to be spreading a falsehood.
They got him at the beginning. There is ZERO excuse for not contacting campus and city police
It's incredible what you need to believe in order to be an unbeliever!
At 20:08. We know where this woman's politics lies. How can Cliffe be a woman just because he feels like it? Did they not teach biology in the school system before she entered university? Her response to Cliffe's question are not her own. She learned this from some postmodernist professor probably in a Gender Studies or Sociology course.
Exactly hypocrisy at it's finest and I graduated double majoring in sociology and anthropology in Saint Peter's University. Well that guy was clearly making stuff up about Christianity and theism 😂. 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 " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro 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.
She was hung up on the distinction between gender and sex. I mean I can understand her frustration, it's a lot like talking to someone who breaks their attention mid stride, you want to be validated
But it's a slippery slope toward confirmation bias. Her follow up question was whether a person will be damned for same sex practices or anomalous gender associations. But this is asking the wrong question. If you want to know what qualifies a person for heaven, focus on that
From there we ought to be tuned in for the distinction of an earthly life and a grace oriented life. They are exclusive in their endeavors. No one comes to the Father except by me, meaning if you choose to go it any other way other than following Jesus, you are making yourself lord
The first person who tried that was Eve. She saw that the forbidden tree was so-called 'coveted' for granting wisdom. And when both of them ate "in dying they died" Eve wanted a crown even after having been granted dominion, taking a negative to a positive
Trouble is what are we ruling outside of the kingdom of heaven? The ground here is cursed and we have been subject to death. The only thing we can turn to are examples of failed campaigns that have led countless others to ruin regardless of their beliefs or 'constructs' as she put it
Why get caught up over something so trivial as biological nomenclature in exchange for the rest of what life has to offer?
Right. I knew that question was coming. And I def thought “she’s regurgitating what she heard and wants to get that moment to school someone else.” College does this. But it’s because we don’t have a formed identity just yet. We’re still impressionable
@@justingary5322 Thanks for the post. The earliest Christian church that pre-dates Catholicism is the Ethiopian church. They also had an early edition of the Bible long before the KJV.
Who knew Shania Twain was predicting the future when she sang “Man I feel like a woman”? 🤦🏻♂️
ei norte americanos respeitem esse Sr. Cliffe, ele gastou a vida toda pregando o evangelho para vcs, vcs são tão abençoados por tem alguém assim em seu país, q vcs não fazem nem ideia. Tnks for your good job Cliffe, you are amazing preacher.
Great video. May God help them see through their own bias. What strikes me, is I’ve grown up in the inner city of Houston,TX acres homes. I’ve heard day and night rap songs of guys raping, killing, and manipulating people for their own selfish needs. Not one person complains or argues about it. Also have seen people(meaning multiple guys)beating someone clearly to small to stop one of them. Let alone multiple guys. And people just watched or record. All backgrounds. White, Black, Hispanic, Etc…. So I believe Cliffe when he says someone said “they have date raped and support it.” And no one did anything except possibly call him out. Legally if they knew anything. Just admission without a victim, evidence, or eye witness cooperation of the victims rape. Would go no where.. maybe an arrest that wouldn’t last 72 hours then him being released, but besides all that I’ve said. I would recommend them not read about relativism or materialism, and then see how many of their scholars believe in those two. We need to pray for them!
I found Christ through Eli Soriano because he was able to answer every question Biblically. Then i found my purpose in life because of Cliff. God bless all people in Jesus name!
I can sense this man's love. Hugs to everyone.
People live in little bubbles and think evil people don’t exist.
University students are very well verse in how to go on tangents on ridiculous minuscule topics. They have a real hard time following logic though. In the words of CS Lewis “what are they teaching in school these days”
So, are you suggesting any corrective measures?
@@Theo_Skeptomai parents should homeschool their kids to prevent things like things.
@@christandlove123 And if the parents aren't able to meet the requirements for home schooling for reasons of employment, what then?
@@Theo_Skeptomai hmmm... then the parents could warn or inform their children of this kind of thing happening so they could be prepared for it. That's my take at least. I honestly wish I knew more on how to handle this.
Cliffe Rocks!
Good work! Bravo!
Great video! I love your answers and you are very respectful.
1:20 "It's not just enough to have faith. It has to be sincere faith."
I agree with Cliffe on a lot of things, and I appreciate his intellect and way of sharing the gospel. Regarding the above citation, it may be worthwhile to clarify that one is saved through faith in Christ, that He paid our penalty for sin, and not through faithful works.
I don't believe that is what he was saying.
Anyone can claim to have faith, it is shown through works as evidence of that living faith. Especially in the broader context of the conversation about Christian hypocrisy. Saved by Faith alone, but faith does not come alone
I think he's not making a faith vs works argument at all, but pointing out there's reasonable faith and then there's nominal, cultural Christianity, where people say a quick prayer, slap a label on themselves and then go about their lives not really trusting in Jesus or knowing the reasons why they should/do.
That's not to say all reasons must be intellectual to be valid. Though Cliff's may disagree on that last point as he leans more to the intellectual side of things.
@@themanthelegend1542James 2 clarifies the importance of works post-salvation, because we don't benefit anyone else with just faith alone, and no one will no we are believers unless evidenced by our works. However, there are many who think works much occur in everyone saved, and scripture implies the opposite.
That is, there are believers who are carnal, and who do few to no works at all. They burn up their work, and lose reward, but they're still saved.
With that in mind, I'm in no way criticizing Cliffe. He's done way more than most any of us could to help open people up intellectually to the existence of God and that Christ is the one who paid our penalty for sin. God has really blessed this man, and he's a trooper for going to campuses and helping direct the lost to Jesus. I just think it sometimes needs to be clarified to people the simplicity of scripture, that we are saved by trusting in Christ's sacrifice for our sins.
@@Adam_A_ChristianYes, Cliffe does lean on the intellectual side, and I think a lot of us were drawn to God (and then trusting in Christ) through seeing empirical evidences and logical arguments. However, we also know that the wisdom of men is foolishness to God, and the simplicity of the gospel can be lost pretty quickly if we aren't careful.
I think Cliff does a good job, but it is worth encouraging him to clarify that one is saved by God through faith in Christ, not by our works. It's easy to fall into a doctrine of works salvation, and it helps to specifically include in talks with students that no one is saved by working hard, but is saved through faith that Christ paid our penalty for sin.
@@Adam_A_Christianthank you for the response. I think what you said emphasizes the necessity of clarifying the gospel to unbelievers, that they can't work to be saved.
