Give Me an Answer - Everyone Will Bend A Knee in the Presence of Jesus, King of Kings/Lord of Lords!

Program 0120
Cliffe Knechtle has a great conversation with college students at a campus in the southwest US.
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.

Let Him into the auditorium of your heart and allow Him to take over every aspect of your being, for only in this surrender can we be truly moulded and used for His glorious purposes that we may never fully understand.

I would strongly stress that, whatever intellectually satisfying answers we can provide, that we never ever leave the Bible out of the equation (and the Bible should be our basis anyhow) because in the end, we are praying for a change of heart, not just a change of mind. I stress this because I know from experience that just getting intellectual assent does not a Christian make. Pepper your apologetics with relevant Scriptures to enable the true seeker to continue the pursuit on their own. _Just my .2¢_

[@acidman5]

Jesse Bryant yes that is fine. Both can be used. Even Jesus didn’t just use scripture and when he used it it was with people who knew the Torah. Many people don’t know scripture so we use what they know and step by step we bring them to scripture and they began to see how truthful the scriptures are. God uses all things to spread his message he even uses creation to explain his message. There are many methods and God uses different people with different gifting s to water, plant, and then God brings forth the increase.

[@jessebryant9233]

@@acidman5 That's basically what apologetics is, no? I only make the point because I see so many Christians attempting to defend their faith without using the Bible. And without the Bible, there is no good reason to embrace the Christian faith. That's pretty much the point I'm driving at. Getting someone to move from atheist or skeptic to agnostic or deist, is not the goal. It may be a start! But the scriptures always provide them with a point of reference. (Romans 10:14)

Jesse Bryant well if you are saying that when preaching or teaching that scripture should be used within it then I agree :)

Brothers and Sisters, don't be satisfied with where you are spiritually. We all can do something to improve our relationship with the Lord. We can do more praying, or studying, or just get rid of that certain thing that's slowing you down from having a more complete relationship with your Lord. You have to be determined to get as close as you can to God Almighty. When we are content with where we are, sometimes there is a tendency to get a little lazy, and not worship God like we use to do. So I'm asking all of you to do the very best that you can to improve your relationship with the Lord. I'm praying that God will continue to bless you all. ✍🏽Blanche Munia

Proof of Christ resurrection: 1. His tomb was heavily guarded by Roman soldiers. No way his body could be stolen. His disciples have all forsaken him at this point. 2. 3 days after his burial, his body was missing in an empty tomb and the Roman authorities could not find his missing body. 3. Meanwhile many of his ex-disciples began to claim they have seen the resurrected Christ. Many new converts despite renewed and fierce efforts by Roman authorities to stop the resurgence of Christianity. 4. Christians everywhere were persecuted. Many refused to renounce their faith and died from fierce persecution by the Romans. All the 12 disciples except John were persecuted to death for their faith. All of them insisted they met the risen Christ. 5. Meanwhile Christianity began to spread throughout the Roman empire and around the world in the first century. The fact that Christianity survived 2000+ years after Jesus was crucified is proof that Jesus rose from the dead. It is the only religion that had been so rigorously persecuted yet remain a religion of love and peace to this day.

[@SuperSglenn]

none of your so called facts can be viewed as conclusive evidence. the only mention of soldiers guarding the tomb is from matthew, no other gospel accounts mention this "fact". the empty tomb is not proof that it contained a body. the bible only mentions vaguely about the deaths of james and peter. as to the other apostles there is absolutely no historical documentation as to their fate. all twelve apostles gave testimony they met the risen christ? when? where? christianity spread around the world? other religions besides christianity have also been around for many years, therefore according to your logic, they too must be true.

Exactly! While so many take the intellectually lazy "I lack belief" approach to the existence of God, when you challenge them regarding what they DO believe and WHY you quickly notice that they have not applied their own standard to their own (generally naturalistic) "faith" - or ever consciously thought about it all! _They believe that their position is simply the default!

It's funny you say there is no contradiction in the gospels. When your belief clearly contradicts the overall message of the collection of books compiled in the bible. Many times in the old testament it talks about Worship of one God whos name is Yahweh. The earth will never be destroyed. The earth will last forever. The righteous will inherit it. That God didn't create it simply for nothing. God does not make mistakes. Not to worship Tammuz or the Sun god or make for yourselves images for worship after any other god or after anything in the heavens above or in the sea beneath. Yet your belief in the Trinity comes from the original worship of the Sun god but was only implemented in your faith around the 4th century from the Roman Catholic Church. The majority of people who say they believe in it don't even know the actual Dogma doctrine and will change the meanings to fit when there are any contradictions. It is just a bunch of mystery of great confusions like the Mother of the Harlots who sits on the beast in Rev. On multiple occasions Jesus mentions his Father in heaven, says his Father is greater than he is, says we can't come to the Father except through him. But all of your beliefs call Jesus the Father instead of Jesus actually being the Son of the Most High God. Just like Jesus said when he was a man here on earth, many will call on his name and do great things in his name but he will proclaim he doesn't know you get away you workers of lawlessness because the first law is have no other gods before him and to Love Jehovah your God with your whole heart. And now everyone is going to Heaven. I didn't know anyone besides the apostles ate and drank the wine those who have the calling from the spirit to be adopted as sons and daughters to reign in the Kingdom with Jesus before he subjects everything back to his Father 1Corinth chapter15. I can go more in depth but then I would be writing a book and that shouldn't be necessary when the bible has more than enough proof.

Good discussion, Cliffe asks us not to put our faith in Jesus blindly, that's very good advice, we shouldn't believe something because we're raised to believe it. Cliffe says to read the gospels of Matthew Mark Luke and John, and to study the evidence, I think a lot of the students have done that, and they've come to the conclusion that the evidence isn't strong concerning things like the miracles. If you do believe it, that's all well and good, but there's a growing number of people, esp young people who don't believe in the supernatural. The more we learn about life on this planet, the more we understand that there is a natural explanation for things which people living a long time ago attributed to Gods.

Right on cue with the same typically facetious opening from the one who blindly believes the great Darwinian myth, places his faith in the fairy tale of abiogenesis, and mindlessly embraces the Big Bang story! _A rather 'miraculous' and imaginative tale if I do say so myself!_ But then, you don't believe in miracles, do ya? Well, you claim that you don't! While your reason for not believing is circular! [sigh] And yet... Yes, Bonnie boy tells us what he thinks... but gives no good reason for why he supposedly "thinks" that... because he doesn't have one. For sure, the number of folks who believe or disbelieve anything doesn't determine whether or not it is true or false. Tom, you are again appealing to majority consensus! You don't believe because of evidence or argument... only because of the number of folks who share an opinion. That is foolishness. Now, regarding all these 'natural explanation[s]' you claim we are discovering as pertains to the question of origins or morality... [elevator music] As for things that foolish men attributed to gods, well, you are not talking about any such claims in the Bible. As for what you foolishly attribute to nature, time, and chance... despite the evidence. Well, you've got way more faith than I could ever have! (Genesis 1:1, Psalms 19:1-3, Romans 1:18-22) And so, no matter how many threads you default on, you never hesitate to lie to others and troll for a new one! So many videos; so little learning! (Provers 1:22)

@@jessebryant9233 that's sort of what I was going to say Mariner simplistic level Tom everything takes Faith marriage a relationship with your family trust in yourself and understanding what you need to do for yourself so forth they'll take face a can of me stabbed in the back tomorrow by your best friend likes to say and I mean that in a literally or figuratively way. It takes more faith to believe in evolution and the properties of evolution and coming from nothing than it does to believe in God who made us and there are many reasons I can back it up but the fact is even if I just use science to back it up in order to have the laws of physics and all the other laws that have been discussed if you don't have God put them forth to create them they don't exist and when you don't have anything you can't get something from nothing I stated that over and over again Tom I don't know why that doesn't sink in probably because you don't want it to.

@@jessebryant9233 Hi Jesse, if the Bible works for you my friend, that's all well and good, you're free to believe it. I don't, as you claim put my faith in abiogenesis, or mindlessly embrace the big bang theory, those are things which are well beyond my scope of understanding. I don't know, or even claim to know how or why life started.. I don't think science has worked that out yet. But we ( mankind) do seem to have a much greater understanding of life than we did, lets say 2000 years ago. Surely you would agree with that. I'm not appealing to majority consensus Jesse, most people on the planet have a belief in God don't they, so, does that mean that you are appealing to majority consensus?, I'd never accuse you of that, we believe the things we do for lots of personal reasons. One of the main reasons I lost my faith was because the story of Jesus contained magical occurrences and it dawned over time that, magical occurrences here on this planet do not occur in the sense that everything in life obeys the laws of physics, eg: people cannot walk on water, cannot float up into the clouds, cannot turn water into wine etc. As I said, Cliffe asks us to read the Gospels for evidence, there is no good evidence that I can see that any of those things actually occurred. What is the good evidence as you see it Jesse? To me, they are just claims.

@@godislove363 I think there are different types of faith though Jacob, I have good faith my car will start when I turn on the ignition, good faith that the Sun will rise in the morning, good faith that when I turn my tap on, that water will come out, etc etc.. I don't have good faith that a supernatural overseer is looking down upon us and that he listens to our prayers, or that his son came down to planet earth to pay for all our sins. I do listen to you Jacob, it's just that I don't agree with the things you believe in or have faith in. You are absolutely free to believe them. If belief in a God helps you in any way, that's all good with me.

When thou seest men engaged in vain discourse about Our signs, turn away from them unless they turn to a different theme. If Satan ever makes thee forget, then after recollection, sit not thou in the company of those who do wrong.

Stay decieved.

[@acidman5]

Cliff your way of thinking through the issue is amazing. I am really working on explaining why I believe what I believe and finding ways of sharing my faith with others

The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM! Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. RSV Only-monos God-theos Monos theos Monotheism The Father Jesus is the one sent by the true God (the Father)! Jesus never claimed to be God, Jesus said he has a God! Jesus has a God! Jesus died! God can’t die! God raised Jesus from the dead!
