God bless you!!!

Can not wait until we meet and worship God together in Heaven. ❤️

I hope you find Islam again

​@@majidmousa9633 islam is satanism in disguise, basic knowledge for thousands of years.

It is totally the Holy spirit speaking through him trying to save others

Stunned me too, amazing !

The word privileged has been misconstrued like many others -normality through discipline, work,ethics etc would be more appropriate.

Yes

@@autry33 Amen

I assume this is addressed to the general viewership. I mostly listen to apologists to consider their arguments for myself, but it also helps when talking to others. This kind of open, reasoned approach has allowed me to broach theological topics with people who would be repulsed by a rote recitation of doctrine. It also counters the ‘religious thrall’ image held by the scientific materialist society.

​@@Globeguy1337 I feel you. With apologetics saving my life (listening to apologists that consider their arguments), this open-air approach is a refresher course. Before I roll out into this scientific materialist society that deems me as a 3rd class citizen because I'm quadriplegic (bound to a bed or wheelchair), I am able with confidence to tell them evil and suffering is worth understanding and fighting through. Because I have innate worth (made in the image of God)..

Yes it has helped me come back/stay in the faith from agnosticism/lukewarmness.

Elijah 🤣

It's ok brother in Christ

@ManaJack lol

@jeremiah sams it's possible lol

@@saintpaulofyoutube4416 Not sure what posts you think I haven't defended?

@@saintpaulofyoutube4416 Yes, i appreciate the compliment. Thankyou.

@@saintpaulofyoutube4416 actually he said this before but at the same time he still likes to taunt others with his questions as if he's searching when he's not.

@@godislove363 What have I said before Jacob?, if you mean if hypothetically Christianity/Judaism didn't exist, mankind would still be be ticking along, as I said, civilizations cannot function without rules. Can you name me a civilization that existed and flourished without any rules? I'm certainly not taunting anyone Jacob, I'm agreeing with the students on campus. Listen to what that guy in the pink t-shirt said, he's absolutely right, go look up 'Evolutionary genesis of morality' .. or evolution of morality on wikipedia. It makes perfect sense. You are free to believe otherwise.

@@saintpaulofyoutube4416 Isn't that being honest in saying I can't be certain? .. Even when I say that the laws of nature cannot be broken.. I'm leaving myself open to be proven wrong.. and you know exactly what I'm referring to when I say that miracles DO NOT OCCUR. I'm not talking about how the universe came into being, I'm talking about the kind of things that Christians claim on a daily basis... that God listened to their prayer, and healed them of all kinds of ailments.. cancers, back pain, headaches, you name it. We can do a scientific test to confirm or deny certain ailments can be healed by God. But no healer would put himself up for it because I think deep down he knows that certain ailments cannot be healed, especially by prayer. As I've told you on various occasions saintpaul, that is where your cognitive dissonance kicks in... rather than admit that God cannot heal certain types of incurable illnesses ( the clue is in the name 'incurable'), you will come up with what you see as a rational reason as to why God doesn't heal certain ailments... when the most rational explanation is that God almost certainly does not exist. Now I can't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he doesn't exist, as I've said over and over.. no one can prove that God does not exist. If they could, somebody far cleverer than me would have done it by now. And by the same token, no Christian could ever prove that God does exist beyond a reasonable doubt to the non-believing community. Could God reveal himself to me at some point?, of course, it's highly unlikely ( because i don't believe he exists), but if you are right, and you believe he exists, then it stands to reason, does it not, that he could reveal himself to me in some form or other.. I accept that remote possibility. Does that mean I'm being duplicitous somehow? I don't believe so. If someone said to me that they were certain that aliens from another planet *do not exist* , but that there's a tiny remote 0.000001% chance that they could, .. I would not regard that person as a liar or being deliberately deceitful, ... that seems perfectly rational to me.. he does not believe in aliens.. he says they categorically DO NOT EXIST, but he's open to the very very very remote possibility they could. I would not demand that he must prove to me that aliens do not exist, it's impossible to prove, isn't it? Thats the situation I'm in with Gods existence.. if he shows up in some form and reveals himself to me, I will adjust my position regarding his existence. As it stands, I don't think he exists. I can't claim with 100% certainty he doesn't exist. Even if I say that miracles DO NOT OCCUR, that doesn't follow that God does not exist.. as many Christians have told me.. God works in mysterious ways, God has his reasons for not performing miracles. How can our pea-like brains compete with Gods all-knowing brain? When you put it like that, we don't stand a chance to figure out why God won't do certain things.

Brucev7 Because of differences in worldview, the word ‘morals’ has a different meaning to any consistent evolutionist than to theists. I believe the evolutionary position is that animal groups that had instinctual behavioral tendencies that promoted the propagation of the group would prevail over those groups that did not, so this would lead to nearly universal presence of such instincts. The source of these instincts is proposed to be random mutation of structures (like the brain) that effect instinctual tendencies. With this process, beneficial behaviors would be added and refined in the population. As such, the atheistic evolutionist would consider ‘morality’ to be the set of behaviors that best promotes the ‘wellbeing’ of the species or group of organisms. In this sense, however, it has no prescriptive power and no responsibility to obey that instinct, but it would also allow other members of the population to ‘remove’ any member that did not benefit the group by following it, so it sort of becomes a ‘might makes right’ situation, though that does make the meaning of ‘right’ rather tenebrous. Edit: I suppose this is also why ‘morality’ and ‘conscience’ or ‘what I feel is right’ are treated as synonymous; as those are instinctual behavioral preferences.

@@Globeguy1337 and that all leads to the Humanistic Theory of Relativism, and as Pastor Knectle always says, 'I don't think you can live that out.'

Brucev7 Exactly.

@@Brucev7 Bruce, whats your take on Cliffe saying "You can't live that out"? .. it's something he says in virtually every video. As I understand it, he's saying that when we see something bad happen to another person, something inside us is telling us it's bad/wrong. .. and that 'something inside feeling' is our conscience that God instilled in us. But I do not believe our conscience is God-given, it's something we get from our parents and those around us. We all have a shared sense of empathy.

@@bonnie43uk lack of standards. Imagine your Instructor at work, at school teaching how to make shoes, by the standards he was instructed, and you chose to not follow the instructions, the instruction manual. More than likely, they will not turn out as they should be. And you will be questioned, even admonished, and receive a low grade.

Need compassion and Justice together the way Jesus have handled it.

Jacob Fongemie True, it is good to have both, but I’m talking about the basis of the moral code. Compassion-based morality adds a great deal of subjectivity to the moral framework if held as primary, as it depends upon the assignment of sympathy for adjudication of any dispute. If such sympathy were held primary, the poor robbing the rich would be moral, since people would have more compassion for the poor man; instead of being impartial, compassion-based codes rely upon partiality for their decisions.

Justice? Justice is just as subjective as compassion!

Milo Pepper Unless it is set by and according to a rightful universal authority (a god). In a schema of relative/subjective morality, all justifications, systems, and methods are, of course, subjective; which is just to say that there is no morality, only norms.

@@Globeguy1337 Exactly. But as Cliff challenges those who believe in subjectivity. Live that out! If you're robbed, or raped or someone you love is murdered. It's not right. It's not wrong, it's just the norm.

he is not good students are just young. All cliff arguments have been debunked by real scholars. Richard carrier seth Andrews matt and aron ra.

What?
