I love the fact that these young people sit and listen with out protest but ask good questions and receive good answers. That’s the free expression of ideas. Excellent content.
Correct and it's therefore an unscientific belief as it is not observable or replicable. Myself I wouldn't call someone naive for believing it as it is what we are all initially taught ("lightening struck a puddle and randomly turned mud into life"), but the aggressive faith in it is very disproportionate to the evidence.
@@junkiedropouts3186Abiogenesis is the current leading hypothesis for how life could have originated, but it’s not replicable at the moment because we currently have no way of knowing or replicating the exact conditions that the earth/universe was in at the time. Calling it unscientific is demonstrably false, as the hypothesis is purely based on the current scientific consensus. Luckily, us not currently understanding something doesn’t mean “god did it” is the answer, that’s simply just the god of the gaps fallacy and an argument from incredulity. Hundreds of years ago humans didn’t understand what gravity was or how it worked so they attributed it to supernatural forces, now we understand how it works and that there’s no supernatural cause, it’s 100% natural. Same thing goes for floods, lightning, thunder, rain, fires and hundreds of other natural things that were once attributed to a god or some kind of supernatural force. Given enough time, science can and has came up with testable/observable/verifiable explanations, abiogenesis is no different.
Well, what is any measurable faith? It's the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not yet seen. Science is often approached with things not seen but they still search things out. So does a believer in their faith towards a Creator of things seen and unseen. He is the author of faith.
Also. You can’t make something out of nothing, that is science. Yet the universe has a beginning ‘the big bang’. How did the first thing ever get made? What was it made out of? The Big Bang started with an area smaller than a head of a pin, so it literally came out of nowhere, and now look at all the planets and stars in the universe, that’s absolutely incredible.
@Giovanni Gomez Paul says we should walk in good works. Paul says we are nearer our salvation than we we first believed. James says faith without works is dead. Lord Jesus says if you don't believe in His words then believe in His works. Lord Jesus says He will reward every man according to his works. Lord Jesus says if we don't produce good works then we will be broken off and cast into the fire. Lord Jesus says if we backslide into sin and lukewarm-ness, He will spew luke warmers out of His mouth. The entire Holy Bible is full of people going out and performing miracles, and water-baptisms, and performing good works in the name of God ... according to their faith. To believe "that" something is true is mental ascription, as in credence. To believe "in" something is to show one's faith, trust, hope, and obedience by giving money, time and effort. Then believe means to go on believing. You don't come to believe in Lord Jesus is God and stop. No. You go on believing Lord Jesus is God. You believe/endure to the end of your earthly life. Today is the day of salvation, not yesterday. And since we are not promised tomorrow, today is the day of salvation. You have been indoctrinated since birth with false doctrine: trinity, titles baptism, salvation through faith alone, and once-saved-always-saved, etc. Why would Paul rebaptized those twelve in Ephesus in the name of Lord Jesus ? ... why wouldn't Paul just lay hands on them so they would receive the Holy Spirit ?
@@freightshayker I got saved 3 years ago, and it's been a journey I tell ya. Yeah I agree with you faith without works is dead in the sense that its talking about a faith that produces work because they have the holy spirit inside them and they are true believers. A real faith will produce works that's faith that is genuine. But it almost seems that you're implying a works based salvation which is false. Because if salvation was based on our works that would contradict (Galatians 2:16, Ephesians 2:8-9). I also do believe that once you are saved by faith and have been baptized by the Holy Spirit, you cannot lose salvation. And I'm not promoting that you can go on sinning without remorse and still be saved, because that is the heart of a person who is an unbeliever. A true believer will never lose salvation because they have the Holy Spirit that will complete the work He started.(Phillipians 1:6)
he aint underrated now brother! Lots of people have found Cliffe on tiktok, especially the youth. As Gen Z, ive been noticing LOTS of people my age listening to cliffe and follows God.
Imagine how this guy talks to his wife when hes got a point to get across. Him getting into that crouched stance and saying “I respect you… youve got a good point!” 😂😂😂 got to love this man and the way he delivers good news
I love how you engage in diologue. My dad used to say "words mean something". You break it down to bite sized pieces. And the body language is great too. Thank you for great teachings and for engaging the youth. YHWH bless you.
I’m the mist of one of the hardest times in my life. Tic tok introduced me to Cliffe, and I’ve been binge watching him since. Thank you Jesus Christ for loving me unconditionally.
His editing is impressive deleting all the bits that make him look like a complete a** hat. Here's the ones he doesn't want you to see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TnLd_1488Qg.html
@@austin33785Yeah but don't randomly evangelize unless you are ready for what you might encounter, and unless you have the Holy Spirit within you. Without those 2 things you might give info yes, but an encounter with an unclean spirit could end badly without the Holy Spirit
I teared up a little bit at 1:02:08 its so completely beautiful that there was a moment dedicated to acknowledge love and respect between the discussers. As I evangelize I hope to experience deep and beautiful moments like these.
@@freightshayker to an extent yes. The key is there has to be significant change in you. Jesus talks about this change that if God is not in them, you’ll know them by the fruits of their spirit. One can not have faith in Jesus and live another way. That’s hypocrisy and Jesus in the book of revelations calls out them people snd says he despises them
Brilliant, articulate, great listener and clear definition of each point he makes/hears and responds to. I am listening intently to great apologetics and to those who preach the gospel well and have begun to do this more as a result of hearing it done well. Whilst there is still some freedom to speak out for Christ, we must all respond to the Great Commission of Jesus where He commanded us all to do this. Thank you and God bless you for your obedience ♡
It's because it's truth. Jesus is truth and I hope you're as excited as I am about the Lord Jesus Christ coming soon. This world has changed so fast within the last decade, in the four yrs you've posted this comment.
He said the other preachers that say, "you're going to hell". Why does it matter to you if you don't believe in God? If you don't want to go to hell, and the thought makes you feel depressed, then believe. I wonder why so-called atheist care. I say so called because there is no such thing as one really. I AM PRAYING that these beautiful young people become believers. God bless them.
I thought she was trying to get around Jesus. She referred several times to God and asking God for forgiveness, while accusing Cliff of being accusatory and haughty toward her, which was simply untrue. I didn't think she was talking to hear herself talk. I thought she was running a mind movie of accusation and belittlement from her past and wildly projecting that onto Cliff. I think the anger and frustration she displayed as she left the gathering attested to something of that sort. She was clearly not hearing his answer each time she asked the question. I thought she was desperately seeking absolution for leaving Jesus out of her construct without having to say His name.
I just have to say, Jesus never lost you. He was always knocking on your door. You just finally let him in 🥰 love this for you. I pray your journey with Jesus only goes up from here ❤
Another reason why Jesus is the most creditable above all other "gods" is because there is true power in the name Jesus. My friend used to get what science calls "sleep paralysis" but really they are demonic attacks to the point that he was scared to go to sleep.. He would always have this dark shadow and presence sitting on his chest or it he could feel it behind him and it would laugh at him and he can never wake up. He says it's the scariest thing that has ever happened to him in his life... and I told him the next time it happens to call out the name JESUS CHRIST.. I told him it may be very very difficult almost impossible to say the name Jesus Christ but to push through it and keep trying to say it until you are screaming the name jesus in your mind.. And just keep saying "Jesus Jesus Jesus help me, save me Jesus I believe Jesus" and I told him don't stop saying it until you wake up and he did and he was so very suprised that it actually worked... He hasn't had any episodes since then. I told him to pray to Jeaus every night before he goes to sleep and he does and it works... Call out the name Mohammed or Allah or budda or any of the other "gods" of other religions and I guarantee it won't work... Either way there is power in the name Jesus. Power to drive out demons.. Even the demons believe in Jesus and they tremble. There is power in the name Jesus.. No other name has the power that the name above all names Jesus holds...
I'm glad you brought this example up. I too from time to time suffer from sleep paralysis. When I was a former devout Catholic I was deathly afraid of going to sleep. I truly believed a dark spirit or demon used to visit me at night. Later on in life, after shedding the shroud of religion and joining the modern world, I learned of sleep paralysis. Now, whenever I am suffering from an episode of sleep paralysis, instead of freaking out, I calm down, remind myself what's actually happening, and I am able to breath and wake up. Sleep paralysis is a really scary experience. You can't breathe and you can't move. It's easy to see how a religious or superstitious person can believe a demonic force is nearby, however there is an actual rational explanation for the phenomena.
@@m.c.lippsss Occam's razor, when applied to sleep paralysis, yields different conclusions depending on the worldview of the person applying Occam's razor to it. What is the evidence in reference to sleep paralysis that supports that the more reasonable explanation is absent demons? If you refer to scientifically observable changes in something like neurochemistry, for example, then be careful that you're not conflating correlation with causation. If it's nothing to do with demons, then a change in neurochemistry would make sense. However, if it is to do with demons, then a change in neurochemistry would still make sense. A change in neurochemistry could be the catalyst, but a change in neurochemistry could also be the physiological reaction to the introduction of demonic activity. Whether it seems more reasonable to conclude that the change in neurochemistry is the cause, or if it seems more reasonable to conclude that the change in neurochemistry is a byproduct of some other more primary cause, depends on one's worldview. Just please don't presume that your worldview is inherently more accurate than the worldview of someone who you don't quite understand how they arrived at their worldview that contradicts yours.
@@p.as.in.pterodactyl1024 I appreciate your reply. However, the goal of my post was to provide a useful tool to combat sleep paralysis / apnea. Maybe there are demons sleeping on one's chest, though I doubt it. In any event, for those suffering from sleep paralysis /apnea, try not to "fight" through it. Don't force yourself to wake up. Calm yourself and focus on short breaths. If you need to draw on a higher being for support and strength, by all means, go for it. All I know is that in my experience, realizing that I am in control has lead me to waking up. Also, a normal sleep pattern has kept my boughts of sleep apnea / paralysis at bay. Sweet dreams!
death is only horrible to those who don't believe. To those who do believe, we have conquered death.; the grave has no victory. o death where is thy sting. Apostle Paul says, to live is for Christ but to die is gain. in the world we live in today, it is seen as to live is gain and to die is loss. The bible tells us in the book of ecclesiastes that when a baby is born we rejoice and we sorrow when someone dies, but we have it mixed up. be sad when someone is born into this evil world, and rejoice when someone (a believer) leaves the world; for they will be with the Lord. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Jesus tells the theif on the cross, today you will be with me in paradise. I personally love waking up every morning (no matter what is going on in this world) but I desire more to be with the Lord, but his time and his will
Freda B, You could also "conquer" any financial worries and have financial stability for life if only you believe Leprechauns are real. They have a limitless supply of gold in large pots at the end of every rainbow.All you have to do is have faith in them and they will happily share their wealth with you. Draw close to Leprechauns and Leprechauns will draw close to you.
ShellacScrubber faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. If we hope in something we see, then it is really not hope at all. The bible says, blessed are those who have seen me and believed, but more blessed are those who have not seen me, yet has believed. Thomas (as some call him the doubter) would not believe in the ressurected Christ, until he could touch the piercings in Jesus hands. Thomas represented the unbelieving world. He needed proof, when proof was all around him. I cannot prove to you that God exists, I can tell you he has shown himself in my life because I accepted him into my heart. But you may say that same thing can happen with a leperchaun, as you make a mockery of it. If you really want to know if God exist, pray with a sincere heart and not a doubting one, and ask him to reveal himself. Sadly it is believed as thomas, if we can't see or touch it, we won't believe it.
ShellacScrubber and also, the love of money is evil, and what does it profit a man (or woman) if they gain the whole world but lose their soul. So no thank you to the pot at the end of the rainbow. Thanks for the offer though.
OH MR. CLIFFE WHAT AN AMAZING WORK YOU ARE DOING. DETAILED TO THE BONE FOR THE YOUTH TO UNDERSTAND OUR WORLD WITH GOD AND WORLD WITHOUT GOD!!! PLEASE I BEG YOU IN CHRIST DO NOT STOP!!! WE LOVE YOU.
Is this on a college campus? Sensible discussion and exchange of ideas that differs from each other without a riot against freedom of speech - how refreshing. Clearly this video was not filmed in the past few years.
I know it’s more difficult than he portrays, because I’m sure he gets angry…. But this man has been teaching me a lot about apologetics, and about what I already believe as Jesus is God
I really like Cliff, but he didn’t articulate the gospel clearly enough. She asked why God wouldn’t forgive her since she tried to always do the right thing? He should have told her that salvation is by grace and “not works”, lest anyone should boast as she was doing. She asked several times and he couldn’t answer her
Damion Spencer there are some brilliant atheist out there but that's what I feel when I here them speak, "like there filling the words with air" and not really saying anything. But what do I know.
From a Christian perspective, unbelievers all fill the air with useless words when they try to justify their perspective or attack Christ. I considered myself an atheist for 17 years and did just that when defending my position (usually in my own head). It is crystal clear now how wrong I was and full of pride I was. It is certainly an issue I haven't conquered, but I do find myself recognizing more when I am prideful. Cheers.
The bible says that death is not a time of mourning but a time of happiness for the tests and trials that we face here on earth is over. Its a time for rejoicing and to glorify God not to mourn.
This was only 6 years ago...today you could not have this respectful discussion without people screaming, yelling , hurling insults because of difference of opinions and thoughts. How much has things changed...how close minded and fragile we have become. The exchange here is a breath of fresh air in a now stale world.
@@NatePrikkel yea was gonna say these are reuploads from past airing on TV, but still things definitely have changed and become progressively regressive
@AnthoniePerez.94 no it's just that your opinion isn't the only one that matters anymore. Christians aren't allowed to torture people to death for thinking differently like they used to
@AnthoniePerez.94 to those that are used to being able to subjugate others equality feels like subjugation stop whining and crying but you can't force your beliefs on anybody anymore. What's your mad about is called equality people can call you stupid for saying stupid things that's not cancel culture that's just reality. Remember when you're complaining about cancel culture what you're complaining about is capitalism. A company doesn't need to associate with things they know will hurt their bottom line.
Im so happy i found cliffe about a year ago hes one of the best preachers who makes you think and give you better understanding im trying to be a Christian and trying to better myself and its good to see with all hes saying that in gonna sin again and again and again though as long as i try and give myself to my lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth i will be okay i judt gotta keep pushing 🫸
God Bless You and Your ministry 💞 When we quit expanding our thinking what do we learn? What is the only commandment we are told to Remember? Who did Jesus claim to be the Lord of? The commandment we were told to Remember....... God works through you I believe may He Bless and Guide You and Us All🙏
Cliffe clearly explained. She wants God to accept her good works without salvation from Him. She doesn't seem to want a relationship with Jesus. She wants to do it her way. I pray she accepts Jesus.
Lol _"critical thinking"_ from a man who believes in a talking snake and donkey, tribes of giants, a man living in a "great fish" zombies witches, Angel's, demi God, magic, because of "faith" and hearsay in an old book 🤣😅🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@trumpbellend6717 Well, regardless of your beliefs, this discussion does promote critical thinking since the students have to formulate and articulate their questions/arguments against a God. It's an important and good discussion to have regardless of one's beliefs.
@@brandonolak255 No dear the burden of proof lies with those making the positive claim. I have no more need to articulate arguments against a "God" than I do for the non existence of pink unicorns.
Real Christians did not enslave anyone. They are the ones who fought slavery and ultimately got rid of slavery. No clue why this dude keeps bashing on "white Christians" but its beyond tiresome.
@@trumpbellend6717you realize the Big Bang theory proves Gods existence silly ! How else did everything come from nothing hahaha , read the first few pages of Genesis brother , and then compare that to the Big Bang. It’s pretty obvious if you have any thinking capabilities.
I'm not a Christian but I know God exists. I felt God's hand creating life inside of me last year. I felt Him save me from myself before that. I felt Him help me. I also felt Him taking love away. I've been on a spiritual kick lately and this series is very interesting to listen to.
Knowing God exists is awesome but we must put our faith in Jesus also. He died for all of us and is coming back soon to take his followers into the promised Eternal LIFE with Him. Please ask Him to come into your life. I pray these videos help lead you directly to the arms of our savior.❤ Jesus is King! 🎉
Jack Kirby- I'll have a look at his bio but I think Cliffe's understanding of the philosophy of Jesus Christ is very accurate. Cliffe has some issues of the age of the earth but small things like that doesn't prevent one from understand God's nature and having a relationship with Him, it also doesn't stop us from the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and how He made the ultimate sacrifice; to die and rise again, to clean us from our transgressions and our sinful nature. We are children of wrath by allow God into our heart, we have been renewed and are children of God. Amazing grace how sweet the sound! God bless.
There’s also a purpose why God performs certain miracles such as the resurrection as opposed to just randomly making a square a circle. More importantly God would never compromise His integrity. That’s the whole reason why He came down and was beaten and killed as opposed to just erasing our sins from existence.
And that's the perspective I see when Satan tried to tempt Jesus he wasn't trying to just tempt him into sin. Like everything God gave us, he was simply trying to get Jesus to abuse his power opposite The Father's Will for his son to come as salvation not a power move, but Christ knows the devils scheme and sees through his twisting of God's word
I as Christian is only saved thru the blood of Jesus Christ because our works are like filty rags, we are to surrender our pride and believe that we are worthless, give God the glory of Jesus sacrifice, understand the ultimate sacrifice in your heart and you will be moved. And the works will come because you feel he is worth it not you. My believe, praise God, Jesus, and my best friend the Holy Spirit
“This guys good, he’s good.. I don’t like him but he’s good”🤣🤣🤣 Cliff certainly has a way of explaining all of this, much better articulated than I am currently capable of myself
"if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." ~Romans 10:9 "Living a good life" does not make you worthy of forgiveness. That's "good" by YOUR standard. God says ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and the wages of sin is death. ONLY Jesus lived a sinless life and died to pay the penalty for our sin. Only by believing in him will God see you as worthy.
The real problem that leads these kids to creating smoke screens is their sin and love of their sin. We suppress the truth in our unrighteousness. These people need some good old fashioned presuppositional apologetics. I like how Cliffe does that occasionally. These kids are standing on a morality borrowed from the Christian worldview and they don’t realize it. I love how Cliffe exposes their bankrupt worldview for dismissing God but keeping his morals.
1:11:57 my bro this is EXACTLY why we need to believe! The world is a horrible place because there are not enough believers ❤ I hope and pray that God blessed this man and showed him the way of Jesus Christ.
With the green lady (52:00)when she is asking why Cliff has his sins forgiven and not hers it’s because she’s self righteousnesses and didn’t come to the cross for saving. A very significant information not well articulated by Cliff and left her frustrated.
This Only she wanted to hear him tell her that he thinks she is better than her Which is all the more reason to address her cause. For whatever reason she felt called out by his presence, so much so that she felt compelled to drive home that she feels lesser It's a rebellious drive, this is the kind of character that wants life to be padded out so that the red carpet of denial is unfolded before her. The store is there for her to shop, the freeway is there for her to drive down, but anyone who merits some kind of foreign force or authority poses a threat to her and her capacity to live without an accountable thought The burden of reproof wells up in an instant and it's too much to handle. In fact it's because the subjectivity of goodness is so great that we need a savior. Unfortunately most women lose touch with the function of the gospel as a narrative lead. No one is an island, but the island that Adam sinned on is cursed so that generations of humans living this way or that are wrapped up in it Circumstances that are WAY more treacherous than whether or not she feels like people know that there's good about her. Ever been straight murdered by your brother? And his blood cried for vengeance in the end, despite having an acceptable go at his humanity. So that goes to show how we all have crushable merit, no matter whether we receive favor from God She doesn't want to accept that Jesus was granted the authority to crush the crusher and that according to the heavenly standard, you can only get there by fulfilling the law. It's the difference between children and sons. Jesus was the only begotten son, a covenant between God and the seed of the woman. Everything else was created and marked for liquidation
@ylpx I was looking for this comment. I was so frustrated for her. Sometimes he can be so philosophical that he fails to explain the mechanics of forgiveness and salvation. He didn't explain the purpose and work that Jesus accomplished on the cross. God-Christ was literally doing something through the cross and he NEVER explains it. Her: Why does God Choose your request for forgiveness over mine. Him: Because He has offered that forgiveness through His death on the Cross. What does that Mean. Whyyyyy! There is a reason. Explain it! If I had hair I would have been pulling it out. God instituted a process-a means by which sin is forgiven, death. Substituting the an innocent life for the guilty. She was asking for forgiveness on her on own Merit, her own terms rather than the terms given. Sin is never just forgiven, dismissed without atonement payment. Cliff wasn't explaining that He was trusting in the sinless (righteous) life and death of Christ as His payment (atonement) and she was trusting in herself (sinful not righteous) life. Infact she just wanted her case dismissed because she said, sorry.
1:02:00 Only a powerful being is capable of controlling itself. That is what makes us different than the other animals and that is why God is truly all-powerful.
Here’s how I’ve always seen it. Religion explains the “why?” In all of our questions. Science explains the “how” in our questions. Putting it simply, they can coexist and back eachother up.
We came from God our creator because God created Adam and Eve our first parents, first humans on the planet. God needed to see how we would do on a small part of the planet first of all. Then He told them to increase and multiply and of course we are and have done that because you and I and us are living. Our parents loved God and each other and that is why we are all here right now. Amen. ❤
Living the best life possible and asking forgiveness is only part of the picture. You must repent of your evil sin. repent of your criminal mind and choices against God. You must be willing to let the gospel kill those things that God hates. God hates bad moral choices. This is where holiness comes in. God forgives us on the basis of His love for us. We must acknowledge that we choose the wrong things. That is where knowing the Word of God comes in. Read His Word allow it to transform us. Then we can be changed. God can and will heal us from evil thoughts, words and deeds. In our journey to holiness we must battle those things which cause us to sin against a holy God. And Jesus gives us the tools to avoid these things and in these things were are changed. Living the best life we can and asking for forgiveness is a misconception. You have to realize that the criminal mind must be overcome by good. The goodness of Gods Word has the power to change us from evil to holy.
I have watched a few of these videos now and Cliff does a great job addressing these students intellect but wish he would speak to their conscience more by taking them through the 10 Commandments to personalize their sin to see the need for a Savior.
Yeah ray comfort style , you need to get to their conscience they will argue with their intellect forever, they won’t see the need for Jesus until they see they are sinners and need his mercy
@@oliverwilson9983 I find the lady in the green shirt around 50:54 could have really used the ten commandments test. Then understanding that the righteousness of Christ is so far and away the only perfect answer to the unchanging and absolute Justice of God, nothing else can satisify it.
"I don't know him but he's good" I'd bet Satan says the same thing. Except Satan knows God and knows he good and right. Satan doesn't like God but he knows he good.
