Christianity is not a religion. It is a relationship with One True God.

Cliff's awesome! :) he really is a great role model for people wanting to teach others. Patient beyond belief, Incredibly knowledgeable, and he can get people to listen by applying simple logic to their arguments.

As he was talking about the supernatural at the end, I think it is important to note that many believe that some of what happens in the occult are demons pretending to be familiar people, and they know about a person's background because they are familiar with the person having watched them from the spirit realm. There is a spiritual battle going on in the invisible realm, and sometimes it happens in our minds. Scripture says, "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up." James 4:7-10, NKJV.

Honestly,Cliffe I’m striving to have half the patience you have dealing with these intellects

So much respect to you to stand out there and try to help these young souls.

I love the look of pride on his face when the other audience member began debating the blond woman. He was like "yes, this is what I'm looking for. Debate away!"

Except for the first kid, mad respect for these kids for at least asking good questions and being respectful about it!

I seriously love that old intro. It low key hypes me up!

So strange that on a university campus, of all places, that so many of these kids reject Christianity because it comes from "a book".

"The spirit of the Lord is upon me because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, to heal the broken hearted. To preach deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind" Luke 4:18

1999 was a good year. I was only 9 years old then. Can't compare these days with how it was then. The golden years. ❤

People will believe in almost anything as long as it’s not God.

I love cliffe, but young cliffe was such a savage I love it😂🤍

Wow cliffe in his early days was fire. Still is.

Another great video!!

I actually looked into the Hebrew and the Greek word for "virgin". Parthenos(Greek) Betula(Hebrew) While, those words CAN be translated into "young woman" or "marriageable maiden", the context is still the same. Which is that virgin means that the woman is "separated from intercourse with a man" or that she "has not yet known a man". In ALL usages of the word virgin, both in the Old Testament and the New Testament, it is used to describe a woman who hasn't had sexual relations with a man.

In biblical times the word Virgin meant virgin! It was pronounced Almah, It wasn't until later that it was recognized as Maiden. Therefore when it was written by Isaiah in Isaiah 7:14 it meant exactly what it says, Which is Virgin !!!!!❤😊 Oh and by the way, what would be the sign If it wasn't virgin????😊

Shame that Universities require philosophy and not religion with a course outline modeled after "Ask Cliff" with the same approach. Also interesting that kids believe more in Roman methods, when there is more eyewitness history on Christianity than there is Roman first person history. Thankfully we know "the door" to eternal life through Christ. God Bless All and thank you Cliff for all the years of perseverance to open minds.

That Teletubbies shirt rocks !

Cliffe Rocks!

Great talk

When he throws up his hands😂 2:10

Cliff is awesome.

Alma in Hebrew means "young unmarried woman". Unlike this Body Count Era in the West that horrifically skews interpretation of sexual mores in other cultures and eras, it was an extremely safe assumption that, in the absence of a context that suggested that this or that particular alma was behaving in a rather un-alma-like way, when you said 'alma', virginity was implied.

I didn't even finish high school,but these college students make me feel smart

did this used to be a TV show? Because of the intro tune ....just curious

I'm new to Christianity and I like how he explains things I feel like he gives me a good understanding does he have a live church or anything on Instagram or KZfaq or does he have public contact information does anyone know?

That old 90s into music 😭😭😭

Good point

"Well whats the basis of natural law" 🤷‍♀ 🤷‍♂ best part of the video

Perfect example from Cliffe on the use of Proverbs 26:4-5: Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.

YES

I love watching Cliff. When the woman said majority rules I instantly thought- but majority of people in the world claim Christianity is true so why don’t you follow the majority.

Teletubbies T shirts guy wants to be inconsistent

I truly don't know how you deal with these people.

🙏🏽🙏🏽💙

Thats the issue, they cannot even comprehend the possibility of God existing so even if an actual supernatural "sign" happened to them personally they would invent some naturalistic assumption on the spot, which is ironically likely why God doesn't stoop to their cry for "evidence."

When was this recorded?

I like the way the black guy and the white female were looking at the one girl trying to explain the majority rule

Almost 25 years later and it's the same issues. Yet people get off by saying that our ancestors where outdated and that we are way smarter now lol. We've been like this since the beginning, and it's apparent that we need a savior.

Thank you Cliff you exposed the lack of compassion the young man displayed when you confronted him about the hypocrisy of saying you love God but mistreatment people. That is the basic tenet Jesus taught, that’s what He jumped the Pharisees about. We are commanded by Jesus to love God , neighbors and our enemies. If you have no problem with sin and unrighteous you have acquired the worthless mind Paul writes about in Romans 1:28-32.

20:09 facts!!!!

👍👍👍

Preaccch!

If you trust the translation got corrupted then whose to say the people calling out the mess up weren’t incorrect in their translation? We know God is real in our heart and we fight it for as long as possible. Do it now!!!

I always listen to cliff while doing something totally productive... like playing video games... so I wasn't watching him. You should have seen the look on my face when the other lady responded at around 14:30....

This isn’t my takeaway from this video, but I had to come and acknowledge the man with Jean shorts on with a Teletubbies t-shirt tucked into them. 😂

Bro said I want to be inconsistent💀

It does mean you can't trust every roommate

Isn't using a history book to confirm or support history also circular?

at 11:26 Cliffe says "The only reason people go to Hell is that people choose to live their life separate from God" Surely people can live decent lives without the need to believe in a God. I don't believe I've committed any major crimes in my life that would warrant a spell in prison, let alone an eternity in Hell. Same with virtually every single person on the planet. What would warrant eternal damnation?, I can't think of anything.

That lady looks familiar??

so says the genius with the Teletubbies shirt.

Jesus promised to show himself to those who obey him. He does! I literally see his omnipresent bearded face highlight his eyes, nose, mouth and beard. John 14:21 "Whoever has my commands and obeys them is the one who loves me. My father will love them; I too will love them and SHOW myself to them."

If there is a God and He is all powerful then He can create a Bible to teach us morals. Having learned this law we also learn we have all blown it. This same all powerful being could then step in to take our punishment. He did and full trust in Jesus’s finished work will give you access to Heaven.

Exactly religious beliefs can be similar not the exact same based on culture and location 💯. Agnostics don't really make a decision about God's Existence because it doesn't matter to them just like apatheists. I miss the good Old Days of common sense, rational discourse, sanity and clarity when people could have good conversations. AMEN brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless brother Stuart and Cliffe Knechtle's Apologetics ministry even though Cliffe's getting older but he held his own pretty well explaining Christianity and theism to these people. It's obviously not the burden of proof for believers but God Himself to meet the burden of proof which He has for us Christian theists despite what Atheists claim are just unsupported claims. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " On The Origin of Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology but I accept micro Evolution such as speciation and adaptation because there's no evidence of macro Evolutionary biology nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.

You know u about to get recked when Cliff takes the *sitting on the toilet* position Implying he about to shit on you

Isn't that some actress ?

Cliff did great except the last guy, historical evidence is ample

Our human perceptions are limited! In fact, unless we have already been on a true spiritual path, seeking the Reality of THAT which gave form and consciousness to all creation, we will be bound down by the Ego (the guardian of individuality). EGO (the guardian of individuality) sorely limits the width of our human perceptions and vision, since it forces our consciousness to focus exclusively on our own happiness and survival. It is only when the soul of a person first sends out a message to its human consciousness that there is more to life than "the self," that the individual begins to want to discover more about life and about the Origins of life. As the consciousness of the human mind is gradually woken up from its long subordination to the Ego (the guardian of individuality), so does one begin to question much that lies beyond their present knowledge. At the beginning of one's quest for greater knowledge of the unknown, they will probably be drawn to a religion, since it would seem, humanly speaking, that a religion must hold within their wisdom and teachings, the secrets of the Source of Life. This subservience to Religious human domination, claiming to know the secrets of the universe, is a good kindergarten for the opening consciousness of immature minds.

It is so said that these kids growing up Godless. "Great Job Parents".

Haiti, Hollywood, The government.

The second person didnt understand a single thing cliff said i dont think. Lol

Without lies atheism dies

i only started believing in god because of the occult

What year is this? These students are so well behaved, these kids nowadays are animals

Any philosophy that looks towards the without, instead of the within, is a stunted philosphy that fails to progress. Every answer to every question is found within man himself: know thyself. Chrstns spend their lives, looking for the light of god in a dark forest while holding a lit candle, and fail to realize they are the ones holding the light. A wise man controls the gods he creates but a fool is controlled by the gods he creates. When a fool is controlled by a particular god (he created) he affords this god with unlimited power and will do things he would otherwise not do.

How did he learned what Nietzsche said?? From a book maybe?? What a silly comment!

It seems like all those who preach about moral relativism actually never practice it

The evidence of the resurrection is there Research

Romans 10:9-11 New King James Version 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”1 John 3:16 New International Version 16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. Read full chapter

It is interesting people say they do not believe in the supernatural, yet they believe in laws of nature without a law giver, life came from non life, that order and design came about by chance, that tells me they do believe in the supernatural they just reject God. Boy that takes a great deal of blind faith.

The teletuby guy needs to be locked up, And that Quickly!

as you can see, most of the time its not proof or fact issues, its a heart issues

Some of what religions teach is man-made and some is God's truth. EDIT: for clarification, I do not believe that God is portrayed correctly in religions as I find many errors, illogical and unloving teachings in them. My experience with God and the observation of the universe and laws shows a far more loving and logical being.

I didn't know that so many people are out of touch with the Bible and Jesus Christ ✝️ so many lost people that will be apart from God after death and won't enter Heaven. 😢

She's asking great, piercing questions and Cliffe's ignoring/sidestepping them almost every time. Christians see that, right? One of his responses implies he _does_ believe a conscience is only possible through religion, and he starts with "no", but then he calls consciences 'one of his pieces of evidence for the existence of god', which again very strongly implies his answer is "yes" that he thinks a conscience could only exist with a god. As short at the video was up until that point (what I described finishes up at like 1:46), he'd already done that sort of sidestepping and evasive answering 2 other times (with the conscience answer being the 3rd time).

When that guy claimed a miracle was a denial of natural laws Cliff should of said if God reached into creation and changed a law it’s just like me dropping this paper and reaching out and grabbing it altering the natural law of gravity.

They haven't read the Bible or received Jesus as their savior,!

Christianity is a religion, Evangelicalism is a religion, Catholicism is a religion...... Insert your favorite denomination here. All of it is a religion full of fans of religion and some but few true children of Jehovah God that enjoy a day in - day out relationship with Christ to the Father! ( John 15:1-8 & John17:3 ) Religion and denomination is a separator! Satan's substitute plan for the organization we all call church!

You did not have an answer to pure relativism, a defiance of consistency. I haven't generally heard apologists address it at all, even though it's endemic today. You've had 20 years to approach it since, so you must have some thoughts, but please reach out to me if you are still struggling with it.

Dude, Cliffe STOP Touching People without their permission.

The guy has no problem with anything, except doctrine and Christianity. He contradicted himself them moment he walked up and opened his mouth lol.

Bruh i cant understand anything from what she is saying 😂

There are no real Gods Only people that believe that Gods are real.

I just love how people think their smarter than the bible (the words of Our Lord Jesus). (I really don't love it, I loathe it). More than likely, they haven't read the KJB. God bless Cliffe and Stuart and your ministry. Read John 3:16 in the KJB. There are many passages like this in the KJB. Take Jesus as your savior soon, as you do not know when your time is up and you'll be missing out of living in heaven with our Father, Jesus than to burn in hell for eternity in fire and brimstone! Read the Revelation in the KJB. With 🙏's and love.

18:57 Look at this guy in purple what a wasteman it got on my nerves seeing that sorry

Teletubi guy is so disingenuous

Of course the doubt as to whether Jesus really existed is unfounded and not worth refutation. No sane person can doubt that Jesus stands as founder behind the historical movement whose first distinct stage is represented by the oldest Palestinian community. (Rudolf Bultmann, Jesus and the Word (London: Collins/Fontana, 1958), p. 13. To doubt the historical existence of Jesus at all … was reserved for an unrestrained, tendentious criticism of modern times into which it is not worthwhile to enter here. (Günther Bornkamm, Jesus of Nazareth, Translated by I. and F. McLuskey with J. M. Robinson (New York, NY: Harper and Row, 1960), p. 28. I am of the opinion (and it is an opinion shared by every serious historian) that the theory [“that Jesus never lived, that he was a purely mythical figure”] is historically untenable. (Willi Marxsen, The Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth (Philadelphia, PA: Fortress, 1970), p. 119. To sum up, modern critical methods fail to support the Christ-myth theory. It has “again and again been answered and annihilated by first-rank scholars.” In recent years “no serious scholar has ventured to postulate the non-historicity of Jesus”-or at any rate very few, and they have not succeeded in disposing of the much stronger, indeed very abundant, evidence to the contrary. (Michael Grant, Jesus: An Historian’s Review of the Gospels (New York, NY: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1977), p. 200. Contemporary New Testament scholars have typically viewed their [i.e., Jesus mythers] arguments as so weak or bizarre that they relegate them to footnotes, or often ignore them completely. (Robert Van Voorst, Jesus Outside the New Testament: An Introduction to the Ancient Evidence (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 2000), p. 16 The total evidence is so overpowering, so absolute that only the shallowest of intellects would dare to deny Jesus’ existence. (Paul L. Maier, “Did Jesus Really Exist?”

It's hard to deny evil supernatural power when you dig into history. Something caused the Nazis to unite... their love of occult/mystic practices.

1999: It'll be a very sad day... if I can say "I'm a follower of Christ" and then go out and womanize... Very clearly Christ commands his followers not to commit sexual immorality. 2024: Progressive Christian views on what "Jesus says" about sex and gender 🤦

God. Ch
