- Cliffe Knechtle has a great conversation with college students at a campus in the southwest US.
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 was an extremely effective way to reach a large number of university students with the Gospel of Christ.
This is fantastic.
A true seed was planted, unlike allot of the accusatory street evangelists.
I don’t like when people make this claim, because it is a claim that you know more than God. You don’t.
@@sochrist1994 It’s a statement of faith. A hope. Relax.
@@sochrist1994a human can observe when a seed was planted, they can’t know if one definitely wasn’t, but nothing wrong w that statement
I can't stop watching these. My new found faith has brought me here. I left for a day recently to my old sin, and felt God slipping away. But God found me again, and I'm back! I'm about to cry. Lord I love you. Forgive me.
Stay faithful brother! Connect with the true worshippers to strengthen your faith. Keep reading the Bible and pray. Find the church that helps you truly grow spiritually.
This young man will find christ very soon . He was refreshingly honest and willing to look for the truth regardless of whether he likes it or not . He was genuinely seeking the truth and will enter heaven one day and this conversation will be a major turning point !
What Cliffe said at the 18:00 minute mark. His sincerity really hit me. Made me think, cry, repent, and fall to Christ again.
This is the best one I've seen yet. Very civil.
That was a very good one, yeah. The main kid was very respectful and thoughtful.

Also Cliffe showed his pure emotions about his sin...he was vulnerable under humility. Very good episode!!
True, I loved this episode, if that could happen more often would be great haha
Epic responses from Cliffe. Glad to see that kid consider new ideas. Peace!
Cliff, you were so clear, concise and humble in this. You are such an inspiration. Thank you for doing this and sharing it with others.
Stoo blowing each other it does not give you any credibility
@@aapp953 don't project your perversions onto other people, keep your home activities to yourself.
Is definitely important not just to study the claims of any other worldview, but also how they came to be and who are those who make the claims. Who was Joseph Smith and how Mormonism came to be, same for Scientology, same for Islam, Hinduism, etc.
This way will also help to clearly see why Jesus Christ is the only way by far, and no possible for any other worldview out there.
Love create and preserves, hate kills and destroy and the only one in who we can claim that love is from Jesus Christ.
This is probably the best Give Me Answer episode. Wow! I'm saving this
That was brilliant Cliff. I've watched many of your videos and this was the only one I've three times. Excellent stuff!
I didn't notice it was gone. I love that jingle also. I find myself singing it throughout the day sometimes.
This was a blessing today cliff, glory to God!!
Thank you for helping me to rekindle my faith.
Excellent! Thanks Cliffe.
This brother right here....awesome!
It is essential for ALL hardcore God believer's to genuinely provoke the sin out of people! Speaking absolute truth is like a holy purging process to point fallen souls back on track, the straight path toward GOD ( I AM THAT I AM ) in the name of JESUS!
That is true that you can't have a healthy relationship without honesty and integrity.
One of the best, very civil and honest
Thank you Cliffe
Thank you Cliff. God bless you for being a awesome pastor.
This is a great video. Great job Cliffe.
Wow! Best one yet! That was amazing!
Great! That was amazing!
this maybe my favorite one yet guys! Awesome stuff! Thank you for the ministry you do:)
Thank you
Cliffe, awesome Job!
This is the BEST I’ve seen and all of them are fantastic
Another great job Cliff.
Love this episode! Thanks Guys!
Just love this channel
great job Cliff!
What a great discussion. Really appreciated the young man's questions and his openness. May God bless you with a knowledge of the truth, wherever you are now, may his face shine upon you and be gracious to you and give you peace.
Wow, you nailed it!
You gave me a lot to think about too! Thankyou 😊❤️
that was awesome!!
Wow bravo
Cliff, you've just put this guy is on his way to faith in christ, that was an amazing preach you did.
Awesome! I love your videos.Wow! That was amazing
Best one I've seen.
18:25 was simply incredible...
pretty awesome theological gymnastics is what that is. You need serious word skills to justify iron age belief systems. Whatever gets you off.
@@rockerobertson4002 I mean. That’s how we justify anything. Mental gymnastics... how else?
@@mathnico1 How about evidence based decision making. Critical thinking. From there, you can clearly state your position. Reading iron age books from ignorant primitive people, and using faith and word salads is not sound. Its sad.
@@rockerobertson4002 Prove to me you live your life off of evidence based decision making. Prove that you do it with literally every decision you make, I would love to see that.
@@notme5205 why the hell would someone want to live a life like that. Because I don't have a bible baking me up, you think everything I do is a serious sit down and critical thinking process? I do eat shellfish, and don't stone my kids when they misbehave. I don't own any slaves and don't have a talking donkey. Do you? Your book says these should be your guiding theology. I'm able to see through these stories. I know when there's thunder and rain, that its not a god. I certainly do not get any moral guidance from an iron age story. That's utter stupidity. Sorry.
brilliant
Another great video! I loved it! :)
Very well put!!! :) Loved the video... :)
what a nice episode
Definitely planted a seed in that students mind
I love these they are helping me with my son
awesome!!!! i love your videos.
Thanks I'm currently looking at those books, though i have heard most of the arguements before and they have been refuted. There are some new interesting ones I'm looking into as well.
Praise JESUS the KING of kings and LORD of lords.
So true. What gives some people the right to dictate how other people should live their lives.
Cliffe is too good!!!
Sheeesh classic but gold
Wonderful videos
Thanks Cliff these really help in discussions about Jesus Christ. I have had many answers answered here when I didn't have answers for conversations about Jesus.
🔥❤️🔥 one of the best videos ever ❤️🔥🔥
I been watching christian videos for 8 years .. now I get this video..
Crazy
It says at the end of the gospel of John it says there are many more deeds and events in Jesus’s life that were not recorded. It would be fascinating to know more of those events but it is a credible statement that John wished he could of shared more.
This student was great. Why can't they all be like him.
I totally agree with everything you are saying, and yes that is what happens sometimes in science, you need a full overhaul of basal theories once things stop making sense, or to explain new crazy phenomenon, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't trust the models we have now. They work pretty much perfectly for our use(we didn't miss mars). Also if anyone claims 100% trust/belief in something then they are being unreasonable, and they are lying to you or themselves.
It's not sarcasm from my perspective. I think Cliff responded best to this student than most of others I've seen. He answered all his questions and then the student said he has to go and study it out! That is all we are asking for skeptics/atheists/pagans/agnostics to do!
This is the first time I’ve seen him get that personal about himself.
I want to be like Cliffe, Jesus.🙏🏻
It was aye! Cliff was brilliant and as @frozemud3 said above, his answers are well thought out and articulated.
well that escalated quickly haha
Dude: “we are our own gods in our own universe!”
Cliff: “Is that a truth claim?”
Dude: “well yeah”
Cliff: “Is that black and white??”
Dude: “well no-“
Cliff: “OH GIMME A BREAK! THATS BALONEY AND YOU KNOW IT!”
😂😂😂
Thanks Cliffe. I have a dream,...i have a dream to stand on streets and proclaim the Gospel and make fishers of men. Now obviously i would be a fool to do that if i am not educated enough to all the different questions one receives in general. You and Ray Comfort are great role models and teachers in my pursuit of fulfilling my dream. Thank you..God bless
He's got 130, I've only been watchin since the last 4 or 5
And in 1860, William Henry Burr produced a list of 144 self-contradictions in the Bible. Biblical scholars have studied inconsistencies in and between texts and canons as a means to study the bible and the societies that created and influenced it.
Deute. 28, Joshua 1:7-8
Daniel 3:25,
Matthew 4:23-24,
Matthew 6:9-15 & 12:31-32
Matthew 17:1-5,
Cliff sometimes I just want you to point out the most obvious contradictions in quran
Did you not listen all the way through?
@@zamundalion i think the point he / she was trying to say is that the point Cliffe was making isnt the most obvious contradiction to the majority of people who've read the QurAn or Muhammad. Its quite a fine detail, which makes it not obvious. The most obvious contradiction (at least to me) is how sinful Muhammad is. He chose violence with the sword and also has some questionable moral decisions such as marrying a young girl who I'm sure cant give consent on such an age.
Brilliant Cliffe
5:20 if you would have to study every religion then by that same logic you would need to add all numbers to 1 to figure out if more than 1 plus 1 equal 2.
You do not need to verify all numbers added to 1 can not equal 2 if you have found the truth that 1 plus 1 equals 2
The more I watch these, the more certain I am that there is and never has been a God.
The students have much better arguements, Cliffe just has better public speaking experience which makes it seems as though he is doing well
oceanceaser How long have you been a comedian?
I CANT FIND A DEBATE WITH YOU AND BART
How open minded these colleges campuses were you watch the current ones and witness a great deal of hostility smh.
Cliffe, I know that you love Jesus because He love you first and have changed you from within, and why you travel around to reach out to young adults! You are not out there to impress people, for getting peoples admire, or to jump all over them. You are my brother in Jesus Christ, God bless you and your wife + your children, maybe they are adults now 2021, I hope they all have found true relationship with Jesus Christ as you have! Much love in Jesus Christ, and we his people are able to love Jesus back, and other people because of His Holy Spirit inside of us! To care and love others is also to love Jesus!
I'm sorry that was the wrong book, I meant "The Case for a Creator". but really either one is a good book. The second book is more like a text book that lists evidence after evidence that says needs to be answered. It's called "Evidence That Demands a Verdict" by Josh McDowell. It's a pretty thick book with just facts. If anything, you could look at it to see if you could refute any of the facts that it has in it.
Textual variants have to do with the early Greek manuscripts. If there is only one ancient manuscript there are no variants. If you have two copies and they differ on spelling or punctuation then you have a variant since they are not exactly the same. This is not a problem so "textual problems" is not a good word to use in the drive for specificity.
14:50
We don’t want the people to remember us or to trust in us through convincing them but point them to Jesus.
“And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.”
I Corinthians 2:1-2, 4-5 NKJV
Haha...not laughing at you but that you prove my point about science not being something to put your trust in. I was taught as a kid that a meteor was the cause of the dinosaurs dying out. Today, that has all changed. There are so many news stories out now claiming scientist now know how the dinos died and they way that happened changes every year. Every time I see a story on it, it just makes me laugh.
Refuted? Can you please refer me to the book or books that addressed The Case for a Creator and refuted it. I haven't heard of one that matched it point for point. The second book can't be refuted, unless they are just going to lie out right about archeological discoveries.
I agree! I get called "a stupid indoctrinated christian moron" and after the 5th or 6th time, it takes it toll! Name calling on either side is not needed. Personal attacks should not be on the agenda
Ah ok makes sense then. I'll stick with neither though ;)
I don't put my trust in "engineers" for designing planes, but I do give them credit for understanding how trust and uplift works. Please don't get me wrong, I love science. I can't get enough of reading about the newest discovery or latest trip to Mars. I just take all of it with a grain of salt. I you really pay attention to most science articles, especially the ones about where life came from, they are full of phrases like "might have come from", "we speculate", "this might have happened" cont
@1GodOnlyOne If we have a mind that can think independently from others then we don't have to agree with everything that is dictated to us by whatever authority. You may say a parent has authority over a child but that child wouldn't be human if at some point they disagreed with their parent. It's natural for us to question what our parents tell us. If you parents grew up in a small village with only knowing their immediate surroundings then they would have a different perception of the world.
lol
wow aha
Or "if this is conclusion is true, then this is what happened". Here's the issue, if you build the foundation of a discipline off of incomplete or wrong information then it's like being 3 degrees off course on a trip to Mars... by the time you are supposed to be there you end up so far away from where you thought you were going and completely miss the whole planet.
I believe the God and science go hand and hand. When I look at the wonders of the world and the universe I see magnificent complexity and wondrous works that I attribute to a God that can not be poured into a beaker to be tested or measured with a ruler. If he could be, what kind of God would he be. God says "my thoughts are higher then your thoughts and my ways are higher then your ways"
I attribute everything to God in a way. Not like someone that sees the sun for the first time and says it's a god, but in that God created all things and by him all things exist and have purpose. His ultimate plan is in the Bible. Can we understand all of it, Paul said, right now we see things like looking through a dirty dark glass but one day everything will be crystal clear. God says, My ways are above your ways and My thoughts far above your thoughts.
Science is always changing and updating what they use to teach as law. The Bible has always taught the same thing and has never wavered. There has never been a discovery, scientific, archeological or otherwise that has ever disproved the Bible. I can say that with all confidence. Can you say that things in science that were taught to be true have never been found to be wrong? No you can not because it happens many times every year.
Cliff, there are paradoxes in the Bible, no contradictions. Paradoxes defined as seeming contradictions.
He pointed that out on another video.
I don't attribute anything to an unknowable god. On the contrary, the Christian God is very knowable in a very real sense. Throughout the Bible we learn that God is a personal God, he is just, loving, forgiving, very patient. Most people are right that religion has caused so many problems in this world but when you have a relationship with God rather then having a religion, it is something completely different, it truly changes lives.
That one young man so wants there to be contradiction's.
People did not use Christianity to justify the crusades. The crusade was a response to the constant brutal onslaught of Muslim conquest of the middle-east, north Africa, and Europe. Although horrible atrocities did happen by the Crusaders.
really?? i didnt think he was trying to be rational.
I love that the student keeps saying things like, "if you were Muslim," or "a Muslim would be saying the same thing," that's like to say... 'yah, well if you were an apple you'd be hanging from a tree and not a Christian.' Cliffe's a Christian so his views are supporting what he "is". So funny.

This is how I believe Cliffe would answer this: No one can "prove" that Jesus is who he claimed to be but what you can do is look at the evidence for yourself. You should ask yourself, "would I give more weight to the writings of people who claim to be witnesses at the time of the events or would I give more weight to what someone said 600 years after the person lived?" See it's a matter of the weight of evidence not just saying someone is right or wrong.
Soo i heard cliffe say: Christianity is correct because the other religions were wrong because they claimed jesus wasn't god, which obviously he is because christianity says so... I find the a little circular?
