Give Me An Answer with Stuart & Cliffe Knechtle

13 жыл бұрын

Cliffe Knechtle has a good dialogue with students at The University of Arizona - Tucson. Recorded in October 2010.
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.

Cliffe does an excellent job with the aggressive and oftentimes insulting and bigoted attitude he gets from some of these people. I don't blame him for getting upset occasionally, he's human. Christians are just people with different views from others, it isn't necessary for ANYONE to treat someone badly because of it, I dont care what your personal history is.

Lol oh the irony , so says the christian who regards those that do not adhere to her beliefs as evil and immoral. Your book tells you to not associate with non believers and to slaughter them. You condemn people based upon their sexuality ( something they have no more control over than the colour of the eyes ) All based upon the percieved whims of your imaginary friend. Go whine to the indigenous people's your religion persecuted killed and tortured in forced conversions, about how Christians are treated so badly for their different views 🤮🤮🤮🥳🥳🥳🥳

Right now, it is 2015 AD, which stands for _Anno Domini,_ which means "the Year of Our Lord," referring to Lord Jesus Christ. The years before Jesus was born are BC, which stands for "Before Christ." This is clearly evidence that Jesus is a real historical personality, not a legend.

They nearly stumped Cliffe with the HIV/AIDS question. I wish Cliffe had said "a busted car is not more complex than a new one. It requires an intelligent mind to bend metal into the shape of a car so it functions. It doesn't require an intelligent mind to crash a car and bend the metal so it doesn't function. The breakdown of a human's biological functioning is not more complex than the biological function you started with. It requires an intelligent mind to keep the body healthy. It does not require an intelligent mind for DNA to mutate into destructive viruses."

I dont get your line of thinking bro..the writer who wrote Tiberius also wrote about Jesus…what you are saying is Tiberius caesar is real therefore Jesus is not..like what kind of logic is that? Of course Tiberius exist brother! That doesn’t mean Jesus never born… And yes! I believe Tiberius exists! So what? Does that mean Jesus never born? Do you hear yourself bro? i know there’s lots of cases for tiberius..and yes i dont debate you he Exist! So? Does that mean Jesus is not real? You got to be kidding me with this line of thought..

Surfxeo, I pointed out to Cliffe in an argument 2 days after this (which he did not post) that the vast majority of scholars, cited by the Oxford Annotated Bible, reject the authorial traditions of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The gospels are instead anonymous, date long after his time, were not written by eye witness, and are not historical accounts. I also never argued that Jesus didn't exist. I argued that he is historically inaccessible. Tiberius is MUCH better attested.

Bekky, Cliffe edited the video to start with and focus on my sub-point about the busts. My main argument was that we have contemporary sources that mention Tiberius, corroborated by archeological evidence, but for Jesus our main sources for his life date half a century later. I never argued that Jesus didn't exist. I pointed out how we have minimal contemporary records of his life and thus only later unreliable oral traditions provide sources for him. There is much more evidence for Tiberius.

I will also note that I confronted Cliffe two days after this video, where I researched and brought with me scholarly sources like the Oxford Annotated Bible, which refuted most of Cliffe's claims, such as the authorship of the Gospels. Cliffe was pushed into a corner and chose to put up this earlier video where I did not have the sources with me instead. Dishonest. Cliffe also plagiarized his inaccurate 10/42 number from Gary Habermas and Mike Licona. Dishonest the whole way through.

Earliest information about Jesus is from the Gospels, 2 written by his disciples who know him personally. I'd even take Johns gospel early even though some date it as late as in the 90's. This is obvious considering Israel as a nation did not exist after 70 AD and this catalysmic even was not mentioned once in the gospels or the epistles. If you deny Jesus as a historical figure then you MUST throw out all of history as he the best attested historical figure from this period.

Greetings, I appear in this video at 7:30. I have written a blog in direct response to Cliffe's inaccurate claim at that 42 authors mention Jesus, but only 10 mention Tiberius, which you can find on Google searching "Ten Reasons to Reject the 10/42 Apologetic Source Slogan" (I can't post a hyperlink here). Cliffe's statistic was WAY off the mark. He missed 33 sources for Tiberius! When the numbers are readjusted to count only contemporaries, 13 sources mention Tiberius and 0 mention Jesus.

If you want the full refutation, just Google search for the Celsus blog. The first link that shows up will be his first refutation, and if you look at the blog he just released a TOTAL annihilation of poor Cliffe's video. Or you could keep your fingers in your ears and pretend you haven't heard a refutation.
