@@007Bokser I didn't take it out of context, he was talking about inadvertently giving his son poison thinking it was medicine, go listen to it again, he was absolutely right, just because someone sincerely believe something, it doesn't make it true.

The question is, how do we go about determining what is true and what is not true?, As Shakespeare said "that is the question"

@@bonnie43uk Simple. Look into the evidence. Was Jesus crucified by Pontius Pilate at the behest of the Jewish Pharisees for what he was doing and teaching (That he is God in the flesh -- and proving it with his miracles)? Historically speaking, archeologically speaking, yes we can absolutely verify this. Now, can we verify that he was risen from the dead and the tomb was empty? Yes, we can absolutely verify this. How? Many ways, you should google it, but a big one is "People don't die for something they know is a lie." The disciples were tortured, exiled, beaten, scorned, hated, killed in brutal ways for testifying they saw Jesus rise from the dead and perform miracles. What did they have to gain from that? Money? Fame? Power? Sex? All the things that motivate people to do anything? NOPE. Imagine you get arrested for murder (that you didnt commit) and they are going to execute you, and never trying to claim your innocence. Even guilty people will try to lie to get out of dying bro. Stop lying to yourself and others. Look into it.

I agree Cliff is good at preaching, but when it comes to telling people about Hell, he is severely lacking. His answers in addressing questions regarding why God allows evil, is always “l don’t know.” The answer should be, we have been given free will, and after the great fall in the Garden of Eden, we now live in a world that Satan has domain over. He is the evil prince of the air, in which his only function is to kill steal and destroy. Idk why apologists do not speak enough about hell, because we know in the Bible, Jesus speaks more about hell than Heaven. “My people will be destroyed for a lack of knowledge.” Hosea 4:6 It’s extremely important to have the Fear of the Lord, as it is the beginning of wisdom. 🔥✝️🔥

Wrong! Repent!

That was the most word-salad pretentious paragraph i've read in a while.

@@elitezenkai9435 my intention was to highligt of how our diverse experiences shape our understanding of reality. I'd like to hear your perspective on the topic

My 33 year old son has Glioblastoma (aggressive and most times fatal), yet he has survived two tumors. After 7 years he is still here (very rare after initial diagnosis) and tumor free. He was not saved at time of diagnosis but over the years God has drawn him to Him! Did Gos keep him alive to save him? His experience has also drawn other unsaved family members (and perhaps friends) to Christ! God uses situations all throughout the Bible to save the lost and He never ceased in that. So, my son will know when God calls him home, he will be in Heaven praising our Lord for eternity. God knows what He is doing, even when we don’t understand. That’s where faith comes in. I don’t know everything, but my Lord does and I rest in blessed assurance ❤️ 🙏🏻

Cliffe also says: With Adam and Eve we told God to get lost, so God stepped back and Chaos ensued. William Lane Craig says: “ (God has morally sufficient reasons to allow suffering in the world)… as long as that statement is even possibly true than it proves there is no logical incompatibility between God and suffering in the world.

It's important to note that disease, accidents, natural disasters, etc, do not come about from a vacuum unrelated to human sin. They are the result of the Fall. This means, among many other terrible things, some babies will die. But the human tendency, even among Christians at times, if only subconsciously, is to view the death of a baby as the end of his or her existence. This is clearly not so according to scripture -- the baby now lives forever with God in eternal joy, and, I suspect, as the full grown adult God always intended him/her to be. And if the parents put their trust in God, they will meet again. In the meantime, in all tragedies and catastrophes, there is something God has for those left behind to deal with the fallout. Very often people who lose babies to disease become champions raising money to find a cure. New levees or dams are built or old ones improved in places where floods drowned a lot of people, including babies. And those who learn to cope with the loss become mentors to others who lose a baby. Another important thing to note about suffering is that in this fallen world, people don't do well without it. (You cynics out there read that correctly.) If you have met someone who is arrogant and can't stand not getting his way, chances are he hasn't suffered much. If you meet someone humble and wise, it's all but certain that he has experienced at least one episode of very significant pain that triggered some serious soul-searching. That's why to me, who has mood disorders that made me once come VERY close to eating a pistol, to see affluent college kids deny God on the basis of "too much suffering" causes me to roll my eyes. As if they would know what the "right amount" of one-size-fits-all suffering is for everyone. Who but someone like the God of the Bible could ever hope to know what the right amount and type of suffering is for each of us? It would be easier to predict within an angstrom the exact landing point of every grain of a fistful of sand dropped from a plane at 10,000 feet. Time to be still and know that he is God -- and we are not.

Your on the right path brother, keep watching more of cliff and you can't go wrong, search for truth and Kepler and open mind and heart and you will find it, God Bless

@@davidplummer2473 Very well articulated, that's my exact view on suffering as well, I believe God revealed that truth to me.

Read new international version (NIV)

Just The Bible

King James is one of the harder translations to read, I highly recommend ESV as an amazing Bible or more specifically and ESV study Bible, it’ll really help you to grasp things that may be harder to decipher or get you thinking more deeply about the word as you read it! Other translations work better for other people (I used to read NIV) just be wary of certain translations that are inaccurate or sometimes downright wrong (like passions). Good luck picking a Bible!

John 9:1-7 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth.2His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"3"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.4As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.5While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."6Having said this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes.7"Go," he told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means Sent).

Jesus fulfilled the Mosaic law. It no longer applies to us today. You can eat pork, wear mixed clothing, and other such rules that Jews still try to adhere to today. I would suggest looking into your statement and how its wrong further, but heres some reading for you. Stoning is a method of execution during which a group of people, usually peers of the guilty party, throws stones at the condemned person until he or she dies. Death by stoning was prescribed in the Old Testament Law as a punishment for various sins. Both animals and people could be the subjects of stoning (Exodus 21:28), and stoning seems to have been associated with sins that caused irreparable damage to the spiritual or ceremonial purity of a person or an animal. Some sins that resulted in stoning in the Old Testament were murder (Leviticus 24:17), idolatry (Deuteronomy 17:2-5), approaching near to Mount Sinai while the presence of God was there (Exodus 19:12-13), practicing necromancy or the occult (Leviticus 20:27), and blaspheming the name of the Lord (Leviticus 24:16). Stoning was probably the punishment for various types of sexual sin, as well (Deuteronomy 22:24); the related passages in Leviticus 20 do not specify the method of execution, only that the guilty party was to be “put to death.” The Mosaic Law specified that, before anyone could be put to death by stoning, there had to be a trial, and at least two witnesses had to testify: “On the testimony of two or three witnesses a person is to be put to death, but no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness” (Deuteronomy 17:6). Those witnesses “must be the first in putting that person to death, and then the hands of all the people” (verse 7). In other words, those who testified against the condemned person in court had to cast the first stone. Examples of stonings in the Old Testament are the deaths of Achan and his family (Joshua 7:25) and Naboth, who was condemned by false witnesses (1 Kings 21). Stoning was the method of execution chosen by the unbelieving Jews who persecuted the early Christians. Stephen, the church’s first martyr, was stoned to death outside of Jerusalem by the Sanhedrin. On that occasion, a young man named Saul, who later became the apostle Paul, held the coats of those who cast the stones (Acts 7:54-60). In another famous passage of Scripture, the Pharisees tried to entrap Jesus into granting approval for the stoning of a woman caught in the act of adultery. Significantly, the adulterous man was absent-the Law prescribed death for both the guilty parties. Jesus’ response is interesting. The woman was clearly guilty, but Jesus understood the duplicity of His enemies. Instead of giving them a direct answer, Jesus turned to those who had dragged the woman before Him and said, “Whichever of you is free from sin, throw the first stone” (John 8:1-11). By this, Jesus is asking for the witnesses to step forward-the witnesses, bound by an oath, were the ones to cast the first stones. He also shows the compassionate heart of God toward the sinner and silences the mob’s hypocritical allegations. Another mode of execution that was also considered stoning involved throwing the guilty party headlong down a steep place and then rolling a large stone onto the body. This is exactly what a mob in Nazareth tried to do to Jesus after His speech in their synagogue. Hearing His claim to be the Messiah, “they got up, drove [Jesus] out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff” (Luke 4:29). Jesus’ deliverance from this angry mob was miraculous: “He walked right through the crowd and went on his way” (verse 30). It was not the Lord’s time to die (see John 10:18), and He could never have died by stoning because the prophecy said none of His bones would be broken (John 19:36). Stoning is a horrible way to die. That particular manner of execution must have been a strong deterrent against committing the sins deemed offensive enough to merit stoning. God cares very much about the purity of His people. The strict punishment for sin during the time of the Law helped deter people from adopting the impure practices of their pagan neighbors and rebelling against God. The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), and Israel was given a stern commandment to stay pure: “You must purge the evil from among you” (Deuteronomy 17:7).

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

​@@phycho40trying to get an atheist to wrap their head around the difference between prescriptive and descriptive is pointless. They don't think the Bible is true so it doesn't matter which it is. Their target is YOU not the Bible. Keep moving, don't stand still for them.

John 8:58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!

John 17:5 And now, Father, glorify me with the glory I had with you before the world began.

JOHN 1 14 AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, AND DWELT AMONG US, (AND WE BEHELD HIS GLORY, THE GLORY AS OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER,) FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH. ROM 8 3 FOR WHAT THE LAW COULD NOT DO, IN THAT IT WAS WEAK THROUGH THE FLESH, GOD SENDING HIS OWN SON IN THE LIKENESS OF SINFUL FLESH, AND FOR SIN, CONDEMNED SIN IN THE FLESH: PHIL 2 8 AND BEING FOUND IN FASHION AS A MAN, HE HUMBLED HIMSELF, AND BECAME OBEDIENT UNTO DEATH, EVEN THE DEATH OF THE CROSS.

PLEASE READ THE VERSES I QUOTED SIR GOD WILL SAVE YOU!!!

The early Church states that the original sin is passed down from Adam, not Eve. From man, not woman. Thus, a woman does not have the ability to pass on that sin nature. And since Jesus was a virginal birth, and His Father is God, there is no original sin.

What

@@Kgisincustody Jesus was speaking to a group of people that understood exactly what he was talking about so he can say he is God without saying it directly

@@church_auditor21 what

Why did he destroyed it if he declared what he created was good?

Cliff and his son are NOT Christians.

We don't know where Gandhi went. Neither do we know what happens to those who have never heard the Gospel in truth. But we do know we have a fair and merciful God that judges accordingly.

@@PiracyandDumbbells very true

Gotta remember that a lot of these were recorded in the 90s so it was likely a point on college campuses that he and the students were familiar with. I could be entirely wrong though.

You are on a lot of these Christian videos for someone who claims not to believe. Why?
