Cliffe Classics #9 - Give Me an Answer

Recorded - Fall 2003
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 is an extremely effective way to reach a large number of university students with the Gospel of Christ.

I was taught to be Christian since very little. My dad was a Christian and studied The Bible a lot. When was 9, I asked the same exact question of the first lady to my dad. That if I don't follow Jesus or Satan, where will I go? But here I am now, I just turned 37 2 days ago, a faithful follower of Jesus and Him and His teachings being the center of my life. There were years that I wasn't a good Christian like when I was 13 to 22. During these times, I was living in a not Christ-like life. I had made terrible sins and they're big sins and they literally destroyed me. I had anger issues, bipolar depression and anxiety disorder caused by all the trauma I had. One day, I had a tremendous loss. I lost my 2 month old baby boy when I was 22 & my world fell apart. Not only that I was living in poverty & other problems just kept on coming. So I started praying again to Jesus & remembered His love & mercy for me. I cried so hard & I came back to Him. The peace that I have right now after returning to Jesus is so worth it. I'm gonna protect it my whole life.

[@sergiomejia2069]

How did you pray?

[@caratdolly8019]

@@sergiomejia2069 I prayed like all other Christians do. I closed my eyes and talked to God. When I was little my dad taught me what Jesus taught but I did not follow them. I became an atheist and acted according to my will and the consequences of my actions destroyed me. I prayed to Jesus so He would enlighten me & I would have the discipline to follow His teachings. The power of the Holy Spirit is so great that It changed me. My life right now is way way better than 15 years ago.

My faith was falling apart and I was doing whatever I wanted and justifying my sinful behavior for years! Until something happened… I felt sick in my head and so so lost, I didn’t want to be here anymore. I went and cried out to God saying, “I surrender my life to you Father! I can’t do this without you. I give it all to you!” This might have been just weeks ago but I can tell you I have rededicated my life to God for Good and I am Never going back to living on my own terms. I’m living for God and I pray daily for his guidance through the Holy Spirit and proclaim Jesus is Lord and Savior everyday! God is so merciful. We don’t deserve it. By his Grace we are saved. I wouldn’t be here without him. No matter how much we turn our backs on him he remains the same, patiently waiting for us to seek him, live for him, and give all of our worries to him (Matthew 11:28) and live a better life and have it to the full (John 10:9-10) Thank you Jesus!

What I really like about this is the fact that he openly tells people go read the Bible for yourself to find out the truth. Don't believe what other people are telling you, don't take the words of any narrow-minded Christian, monk, Pope, priest, etc. I believe there are so many people who don't have a true conception of what the Bible is because they have listened to what others have said about it. My eyes personally opened up when I Read the Bible for myself versus letting someone else tell me what it says. Anybody who truly reads the Bible for themselves will have a complete different outlook on the Bible versus what someone tells you the Bible says. Especially when they remove context from the Bible and use it to fit what narrative they want.

[@TybarSake]

I understand where you are coming from, every Christian despite their denominational differences should always dutifully read their bible personally. However, this leniency in how we interpret the bible is what has led to much of the misunderstanding of the scriptures that has caused heresy and outright defiance of the scriptures(etc. fringe denominations popping up, churches becoming so liberal to the point they have become non-christian/universalist). That is why it’s important to follow a Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church like our Catholic and Orthodox brothers and sisters.

No, it's important that we read the correct Bible. You will never get 100% truth in a catholic Bible bc they changed God's word for their own purposes. Please, I'm a stranger...you don't haveto believe me. But, believe God almighty. Read an older KJV (maybe an Open Word version) or the Amplified Bible side by side of the catholic version and be sure to ask God to guide you through understanding His word. He will bc He loves you.

Cliffe is an apologist, he went through years of being indoctrinated to believe in a god and defend that god, without any evidence that this god exists. Do YOU have any evidence that this god exists? The honest answer is NO. So believing a god exists based on faith is not a good way to go about your life and what you believe to be true.

[@milesmungo]

@@EddieSchultz62 Depends what you constitute as evidence. I could be skeptical and say that you don’t exist, you’re a chat Ai bot that someone created to boost a particular channel or algorithm. Do you have evidence that you exist? I would say that I do have good evidence that God exists, as much as I do that Australia exists, or other planets. Have you ever seen Neptune with your own eyes? Would you believe it without seeing it? I’m a generally skeptical person, but I realized that I need faith to live. I have faith that I’ll wake up tomorrow morning, faith that the floor in my apartment can support my weight and won’t collapse, faith that the food in my fridge isn’t poisonous. I’ve not tested those things, but I believe them. I have tested God and my faith in Him. We’re all indoctrinated in different ways. I was never taught flat earth theory, or alternatives to germ theory, anarchy as a suitable alternative to democracy, et al. Indoctrination doesn’t mean true or false.

[@EddieSchultz62]

@@milesmungo We're either indoctrinated "teach (a person or group) to accept a set of beliefs uncritically:" Or educated "having been educated:" I was indoctrinated at a young age to believe a god (the Christian god in particular) exists, and never to question his existence. I was also educated in school to learn about things in life that have evidence to support them. Now which do you think is the more rational way of thinking and accepting what is true or not? Bottom line is (and most Christians accept this) that there's no evidence that a god exists. If there is, then there's evidence for all the other gods that man has created throughout thousand of years. Is that reasonable to believe and accept?

[@milesmungo]

@@EddieSchultz62 Not sure about you, but ideas of democracy, round earth, and germ theory were never criticized during my education. I would agree that we should examine claim and be critical, and not condemn people for questioning God. The Bible is full of people questioning God, His existence, His goodness, etc. I don’t know if most Christians would agree and accept that there is no evidence for the existence of any god(s). I can’t simply say because Super Mario doesn’t exists, therefore Italian plumbers don’t exist. What I mean is that there not being good evidence for Zeus doesn’t mean the same for Yahweh. I think you’re assuming that all Gods are man-made. Is it possible that one isn’t? That one is observed? This is kind of a separate issue but why make rationality the be all-end all. I’m certainly not against rationality, but it too has its dangers. Things like r*cism, and r*ape, and slavery can be and are often rationalized. I don’t think it’s reasonable to accept belief in the Christian God without any evidence at all, there we agree. I just believe that there IS good evidence for believe in Jesus and Yahweh.

@@milesmungo One thing at a time, you're going all over the place. So, you don't agree with a world where religion shouldn't be criticized?

I was thinking while you we’re talking to the last guy, I would want to say to him that there is no scientific evidence anywhere on how it’s possible for a bee to fly because of how small their wings are compared to their body, however they just fly away without any problem. He also talked about DNA. Did you know there is more information in 1 single cell of dna than in a computer. We have millions of cells. Both of these cannot be explained by science or evolutionists. Anyway, I praise God that there is people like yourself that go out and preach the gospel. Thanks so much for what you do and may God go with everywhere so the truth will be revealed to as many people as possible. God bless you Sir!

It’s heartbreaking how lost some of these kids are. Well done on your mission. I hope that you gave that young girl at the beginning a Gospel so instead of listening to the devilish chatter of the doubt of the world she can know the truth about Christ and his sacrifice. You can hear the doubt and confusion in her voice.

I didn’t understand what’s in the Bible. But on my 23 when Jesus entered my heart from a prayer. All my life changed and I felt for the first time what freedom is and what the purpose of life is. There is nothing more worth then a relationship with Jesus and he I fall o struggle daily but also I feel his mercy each day.

Which god? You do know that man has created thousands of gods in their mind over thousands of years, right? So what makes your god anymore credible, since you don't believe any of those god's exists?

[@EddieSchultz62]

@@EmunStudio If you can provide evidence that can be confirmed that a god exists, sure. Until then, a call would be moot. Everything I said is truth, that a belief in a god is based on faith, meaning no evidence is needed for your belief and many other who believe like you. Do you not agree with that, or do you (whereas nobody before you has any evidence) have actual evidence that the god you believe in exists? The honest answer is no, so what would a call do for either of us?

Even the old Chinese acknowledged that we as human beings consist of Spirit, Soul and Body. Congratulations to us, we are all walkin Trinitys. WE ARE MADE IN HIS OWN IMAGE. And sure, God fathered Jesus by impregnating Mary, so he could live among us, talk to us, love on us and finally redeem us. Today it's all so LOGICAL to me, but in my younger years i struggled too with many of the questions of those students.
