  • Recorded - Spring 1997
    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.

    I'm embarrassed to admit that I was ever an atheist..I use to have and use the same debunked and hypercritical talking points these kids use at one point myself. It wasn't until I started watching and listening to Cliff that I realized I was a lying hypocrite. The moral argument really helped me to realize and humbly realize there has to be a God.

    I'm a Jamaican living in the US, and I must say that I've been very impressed by the way Cliffe and his sons have conducted themselves in presenting and sharing the Gospel with people who are diametrically opposed to truth. We all need to the truth without being biased and naive. But what I've discovered is, that morality and personal freedom are what preventing people from believing in God and Jesus Christ. If you tell people what they want to hear, they will listen to you; but if you tell them the truth based on evidence, as long as it conflicts with what they love and want for themselves, it makes them uncomfortable and angry. I believe that truth is objective, and you are doing an excellent job in advocating truth despite the challenges you face in doing so. I've learned a lot from you, please continue the great work. God bless you!

    Cliffe's younger days got us VIBING 🎵🎶🔥❤️. AMEN 🙏❤️👊. It's cool seeing younger Cliffe Knechtle's Apologetics ministry fire in his Prime but God Almighty's Word is always in it's PRIME. Love ya brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless brother Cliffe, Stuart and his family they're the dudes 😎. I really appreciate their Christ centered and Scripturally accurate content. 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 23 year old Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. 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 such as speciation and adaptation because there's no evidence of macro Evolution 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.

      Christianity began in Egypt, Jesus was not white, but brown and as far as Christianity being responsible for past atrocities, you don’t blame Mozart when someone butchers his music. You blame the musician or the one pretending to be a musician.
      Many horrible things have been done in the name of God but that does not mean that they were ordered or condoned by God. It’s the same within the Bible especially the Old Testament. The Bible and the Old Testament in particular is historical and the laws etc. were written for the Jews at the time. Many societies were doing horrible things but just because they were documented doesn’t mean God condoned them. In fact all the times God brought judgements against certain peoples is because of the hundred of years of atrocities they had been committing. Like the Canaanites. They were really 👿.

      Literally, same! It popped up on my FYP and I was intrigued. I think it’s cool he uses logic and scholarly things to point to Jesus and he answers them directly and on their level as college students. He challenges them in their own beliefs and practices (he’ll tell people to study themselves, be consistent as an atheist, find their own way of measuring manuscripts to see if it’s true). And yet he points to Jesus everytime. I think him and Dan Mohler could be a great balance like left brain/right brain, or love and truth.

    After listening to Cliffe explain the reasons why some books are not in the Bible, I immediately felt compelled to express my gratitude for his good teaching. He has a wonderful way of simplifying a complicated subject.
    The young man brings up some good points regarding how women are to behave in the church with regard to covering their heads.
    Let’s for a moment consider if there are any benefits to women cover their heads in the church service.
    Personally I want women to be happy. I do not want them to be put down or subjugated in any way. I treat women with all respect and great courtesy.
    But I have observed, on the few occasions when I have had the opportunity to do so, that in a church with women covering their heads, there will be a lovely peace in the congregation that otherwise isn’t usually there.
    And if this is true and because women are very caring, they, for the sake of bringing peace into the congregation, will not object having a veil over their heads for the duration of the service.
    Also the great apostle says that he won’t suffer a women to preach. I think it’s wonderful if women want to preach. Because it invariably shows they have a great heart for God.
    But if a caring women wants to preach and was wise enough to realise the effects her preaching was having upon the men, she wouldn’t want to preach.
    Men feel somewhat shown up when a women is preaching. And whilst a women is preaching to benefit the listeners she is unwittingly weakening the men as they have to suffer her preaching.
    But it’s a different story if a women is giving her testimony from the pulpit or a vision she’s had. Because this is not preaching. But if she is wise she will cover her head when she does so.
    By humbly covering her head she is sending a message to the men that she recognises and acknowledging the strength of the men in the congregation. And this strengthens the men.
    Men by preference do not want women teaching them unless it’s one on one. They feel shown up.
    However, today, because we are somewhat preoccupied by being extra careful not to treat women unfairly, we have neglected to take into consideration the men.
    But As a wise and caring woman wants what’s best for the congregation, she will be perfectly happy to wear a veil in the church service and not preach to the men, if she realises the entire congregation will be blessed because of it. Do not underestimate women. They will understand this.

    The man at the end of the video asks how can he validate Christ's claim about Heaven. He says that, _"If you say there is a dog in the next building, I know how to validate that...I just go there and see for myself."_
    However, that answer is disingenuous because it implies that the _only_ things that we can believe in are things that we experience for ourselves with our own senses...but that is a lie!
    Ask yourself...why do you believe in atoms? Have you seen an atom? Held an atom?
    Of course not!
    You _choose_ to trust people... _strangers even!_ ...that atoms exist. The same holds true with a million other things in your life as well. You _choose_ to trust and believe others... _strangers even_ ...and you even bet your life on it!
    When you get into a jet as a passenger. You do not know the pilot, yet you _choose_ to trust in him/her.
    When you got to a restaurant, you _choose_ to trust a cook whom you've never met.
    When you take a pill...you _choose_ to trust the manufacturer.
    Regarding history...you _choose_ to believe people who tell you that people such as Augustus Caesar, Plato, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, The Marx Brothers all existed...even though you've never met ANY of those people. On and on it goes...the number of things that you take on trusting others is staggering!
    Therefore, when you get to the Biblical records affirming the lives of people such Abraham, Moses, Jesus, The Apostle Paul etc...why is this same standard discarded?
    It is a matter of disingenuous, double standards.

      FACTS. AMEN 🙏❤️👊. It's cool seeing younger Cliffe Knechtle's Apologetics ministry fire in his Prime but God Almighty's Word is always in it's PRIME. Love ya brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless brother Cliffe, Stuart and his family they're the dudes 😎. I really appreciate their Christ centered and Scripturally accurate content. 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 23 year old Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. 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 such as speciation and adaptation because there's no evidence of macro Evolution 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.

    For the first guy with the cap, I would have reminded him that Mohammad met an angel in a cave (no eye witnesses) 600 years after Jesus’ crucifixion. The creeds and eyewitnesses of Christianity range from 90 A.D. back to the resurrection itself, just days after the events. Big difference! Would you trust a writer who wrote a book yesterday about WW2 and the holocaust, or those who wrote a book about it who survived the holocaust?

      This. Thank you. Thats one way how you know Muslims are not thinking straight, cause they trust a complete stranger to tell us about Jesus over eye witnesses. They call the Bible corrupt, yet the Quran they have wasnt written down by any eye witnesses of any kind. Muhammad being their ‘prophet’ wrote nothing down, and the one man who decided which Quran to have be the the final one caused other versions to be burned cause he decided those others weren’t it. Meaning there were multiple versions. Meanwhile with the Bible we have eye witnesses who had the very Spirit of Jesus inside of their bodies lead and guide them to write everything they wrote down, and remind them of what he told them when he physically walked this earth with them. Eye witness testimony, and Jesus himself dwelling within them telling them what to write down. You can’t get any better than that when it comes to reliability.

    Secondly, you will fall short. That is why you need the gift of salvation. I can do whatever I want and be safe in the knowledge that I am going to Heaven because of Jesus’ gift of salvation.

    • @TimeWillTell651
      @TimeWillTell651 Před 8 dny

      To correct you, Muhammad received no revelation about Islam. He was led by an angel. Revelation is when information is spoken to you by God himself. Muhammad was never spoken to God about Islam because Allah doesn’t exist and he had to be led by an angel. If you have to be led by an angel, it means God himself isn’t interested in speaking such information to you. Meaning it isn’t from God. Especially because heavenly angels don’t exist alone. There are fallen angels too. Demons. Who follow a devil. Who are all lying deceivers. Angels can be either heavenly or demonic. None of the information he was given was corroborated by God himself, as was the case with the Old Testament prophets, Jesus Christ, and the New Testament apostles. Whenever a message was truly from God according to the Bible, the words spoken by the people were backed up supernaturally in big ways. Also, every messenger of God had God himself living inside of their bodies. The prophets had the Holy Spirit. Jesus had the Holy Spirit (which was his own spirit), the apostles had the Holy Spirit (Spirit of Jesus). (See also 1 Peter 1:10-11). They had God inside of their bodies. Muhammad never did. His whole reason for starting Islam was because of the angel that visited him. An angel he believed was a demon I might add because the angel assaulted him about three times for no reason and because of how dark this angel was to him. No heavenly angel would give you even a hint of this if truly sent by God. And according to the Bible, when God wanted to start a belief or whatever through a messenger, he came directly to that messenger and spoke the information to the messenger himself. Muhammad never had that, he was led only by that one angel. No corroboration. No real confirmation. Guess what? Joseph smith had the same thing. He encountered an angel that called themself Moroni, and that angel led smith to begin Mormonism. He didn’t personally know God either. He was led by an angel and had a dream/visit that gave him more motivation to move along with preaching the message of Mormonism. Christianity is the only faith where the followers had God in their bodies, being told directly from him everything. And it’s the only faith that causes that same spirit inside of them to enter the bodies of people today who repent and believe in Jesus as their Savior through the gospel. No other religion offers you a relationship with God. But Christianity says you can’t become a Christian until you encounter God (John 6:44-45), it’s determined by you knowing God (John 17:3, Galatians 4:6-9, Ephesians 1:13-14, 2 Corinthians 13:5, Genesis 1:1-3, 1 John 2:14). The same spirit that lived in the prophets Jesus and apostles lives in my body right now and has confirmed he is the God of the Bible as he did to the writers of the Bible. No religious figure had even close to this. They were led by angels, and had dreams. Demons can give you dreams too, cause they’re supernatural beings with powers. Again, no corroboration or confirmation from God means it isn’t from God but from the devil who is the deceiver of this world. Muhammad was lied to and used by satan.

    I do enjoy corresponding on this channel most of the time but I think Jacob, one of the Christian theists on here made an excellent point a few weeks ago when he made a video on his channel regarding how some on both sides of the divide correspond very harshly and offensively with each other. I am in FULL agreement with him on that point.
    It seems like it has been forgotten, so I would like to make the exact SAME point and, just as he very fairly did, I too will say it to both my fellow atheists on here and to theists, and it's this, it's not necessary to be rude, offensive or condescending towards the people you are disagreeing with and I would further add that it's also not necessary to keep trying to represent the position of the person you are disagreeing with in such an obviously ridiculous way that you know yourself is not their true position.
    All that does is undermine your OWN position. You're never going to persuade anyone to rethink their own position when they can see that your position isn't making you a better, more decent, sensible and mature person and this may, in fact, be doing the opposite. And before anyone replies to this with all of this "hey, you're an atheist, you don't believe in God, you think we're all just a bunch of neurons and electrons so what does it matter how we treat each other?", once again, can I politely ask you to cut all of that type of satirical representation of the atheist position out?
    That is not how any sensible, thinking atheists view themselves or their fellow human beings. We give far more value to our fellow human beings than that. Irrespective of how we came to be, whether it was through some other higher being or something else, the fact is we are here and we are what we are, we're living, conscious, thinking creatures and that in and of itself makes us of value. We're not inanimate, lifeless objects behind keyboards. We feel, we can be hurt, we can suffer etc.
    The same goes for my fellow atheists, here, again, it's not necessary to make up some mock version of the Christian theist position or insult and attack Christians on here with false representations of their positon, and try to make them seem as if they are fools for believing in what they believe. Most Christians are not fools, they have the same intelligence level as we do. I have said this many times before on here, there is nothing irrational or stupid about believing in the Christian God or any kind of supremely powerful and intelligent being. Just because I am not convinced that there is a God of any type, it doesn't mean that I think it's irrational, I totally understand why many conclude that there has to be a God, I might be inclined to think that are wrong but being wrong doesn't make someone irrational.
    Finally, I am aware that there might be one or two here who will be tempted to reply to this with clever remarks like "he's just done six paragraphs and said nothing" or "if you don't believe in God then how do you know anything is real and why do you care about anything??", again, this is precisely what I mean. I am hoping you can show me that you can be reasonable and refrain from those kinds of replies which you know are silly and instead, acknowledge what both myself and Jacob have been saying here. If you don't want to listen to me, at least listen to Jacob, he's been saying the same thing. You know it makes sense. Thanks.

      FACTS he's clearly lying about having studied the Qur'an and hadiths because he clearly needs to study A LOT MORE. AMEN 🙏❤️👊. It's cool seeing younger Cliffe Knechtle's Apologetics ministry fire in his Prime but God Almighty's Word is always in it's PRIME. Love ya brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless brother Cliffe, Stuart and his family they're the dudes 😎. I really appreciate their Christ centered and Scripturally accurate content. 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 23 year old Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. 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 such as speciation and adaptation because there's no evidence of macro Evolution 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.

      It isn’t about being a better Christian, it’s about having a better relationship with Jesus daily, which causes him to change you more. Which shows more how much of a Christian you are. Meaning, to be considered a Christian you have to first repent and accept him as your personal Lord and Savior after being convicted of your sin and then hearing the Gospel message. You must be reconciled to him. He seals himself into you as he recreates you inside. As 2 Corinthians 13:5 says, you’re in the faith when he’s inside of you. You’re a Christian when he’s inside of you. That’s the determination. Not you trying to not sin. You’re not religious. Yes you sometimes have to make decisions to say no to sin but that’s not what Jesus is about. Meaning it’s a supernatural change caused by your personal relationship with Him, which starts the moment he enters your body through the gospel. He gives you a new heart (spirit) and then joins together with it. That causes a new you to be born inside, which is how one changes. Then you walk this life in a relationship with him, allowing him to change your thoughts and desires. When you don’t resist this change and you get closer to him, he makes you more like himself. And that leads you to sinning less and less, naturally. It’s suppose to be natural, not a fight. Lots of christians think they’re fighting themselves when they try to live holy and that’s because they’re clueless about the scriptures. They have no spiritual discernment because they don’t ask the Holy Spirit of Jesus what things mean in scripture. Being holy is suppose to be more natural than not. Just how a man has to fight to be a woman because he’s not a woman but doesn’t have to fight to be a man because he came out the womb a male, a person born again doesn’t have to fight to be holy by nature because they’ve been given a new nature. You’re literally remade inside. Focus less on trying to be good, since your goodness doesn’t contribute to your right standing with him because he paid your entire debt himself. Rest in his finished work on your behalf, and rest and trust in the transformation he performed inside of you, and just focus on getting to know him. You’ll see more change within you then. Romans 2:29, Colossians 2:11-23, Ephesians 4:22-24, Colossians 3:1-10, Ephesians 5:17, romans 6:1-7, Ephesians 3:17, 1 Corinthians 6:17, 2 Corinthians 3:17-18, Philippians 2:13, Galatians 5:24, romans 7:1-6, romans 8:5-9.
      Yes he wants holiness. But I’m trying to say that your job isn’t to try to be holy, your job is to set your eyes on Him and just get to know him. He’s in your body if you’re saved, he wants to intimately know you. The change is his job. If it were about trying to not sin, you wouldn’t have or need a Savior, because you’d be trying to save yourself by not sinning. And that’s what religious people do and yet they’re still headed to hell. Focus on Jesus and let him change you. People will see the holiness more then. And it’ll be seen as supernatural and they’ll wonder and that’ll draw them to Christ. If you however try to just not sin, they’ll see you as religious and nothing more. Because all religious people have the “don’t sin” mindset, yet still do a whole lot naturally. Born again Christians though naturally sin less and less as time goes by, because they’ve been recreated inside. And that’s one thing that makes us different.

Also somewhere I think there’s a reference to a dragon which would explain where the culture of all the Chinese dragon hieroglyphs came from.

I understand Cliffe's frustration, I get annoyed too sometimes but the truth is, unless you show the Bible's reliability, all other beliefs or religions in the world are equally valid. If you believe that the Bible is not perfect but trustable as a whole, you have lost already. If our God exists, he must give the world His Book by inspiration. An Inspired Book can't be quasi-reliable, it must be 100% correct, which it is, but you guys don't seem to make that the top priority or so it appears. In fact, to prove my point, the Bible talks about dinosaurs meanwhile Adam and Eve lived nearly 1000 years, they had multiple children who went on to marry each other.

      ​@@ironmatto3 Are you asking because as for evolutionary theories they supposedly went extinct long before humans existed? I personally take the Bible literally unless the symbology is clearly shown in context. I have strong evidence for its validity. Now, it takes some cross referencing. But first, could it be possible that some dinosaurs survived even if evolution were true? I don't see why not especially sea creatures, right? However, God created the animals and man around 8 thousands years ago. That being the case, Dinosaurs lived with humans. They ate grass, or herbs mainly before the Fall. The name Dinosaurs is recent. Before they were called by other names. The Bible identify Behemoth, Leviathan, and Dragons. You see, reptiles never stop growing. If the biblical account is correct, which it is, for various reasons animals and people used to live longer than today. Therefore "dinosaurs" could grow to quite a big size. Besides, I strongly believe that even people were taller than us, at the beginning. In fact, we are devolving, not evolving. They were also smarter back then: imagine living 1000 years how much you'll learn, wisdom would be off the chart. Sin also corrupted the world. So yes, secular evolutionists must resort to identify those creatures mentioned above as elephants or rhinos or other animals but it does not match the description given; so when the description doesn't match they turn the first part of the verse literally, the second part allegorically, like a symbol of the creatures' strength. Not so, it's all literal. Behemoth was probably a Sauropod, a Mammoth or (in my opinion) that Dino with bony plates on its back. The Leviathan seems like more of a sea creature or a huge crocodile. Remember, according to the Bible there were also giants with incredible strength in the world. As the book says, no man could face those animals, not even with weapons and those weapons were huge; in fact, the creature's tail was like cedar trees. Lebanon cedar trees can reach a 8 feet diameter today. Those "dinosaurs" are described in Job 40 and 41, Deuteronomy and other books of the Bible, probably extinct now. Dragons were real. How cool is that?
