It sounds like you’re thinking too much of politics and you need to focus more on Christ because political issues are of this world and mean little to nothing in the afterlife.

[@KeniGid]

Strongly disagree with some of Cliffe's theology, especially when it comes to him acquiescing to naturalism (masquerading as science) with regards to the bible's clear cut account of supernatural creation in 6 literal days, supernatural creation of a literal Adam and Eve (not some ape-like or even bacterial ancestors) and a young earth based on geneologies that go back to Adam who created on the 6th literal day of creation (all but the first having overwhelming support by objective genetics and physical science). However, I do see him as indeed a commendable brother in Christ.

@@italianobrandini1196 Interesting. So John it is. Its a very interesting old text. Its actually the youngest of the gospels. Written well after mark/mathew/Luke. John likely has 3 or more authors. All anonymous. Now, the corruption. John is likely the most corrupt of all the gospels. The most famous parts of john, say as an example, the women in adultery stuff. That was all added much later by a christian scribe. So when you quote that, and try and use it as theology of some kind, you have to know that is a fabrication. Interpolation. Not in the original texts. This is fact. You then have to deal with the fact that its the only text that has the salvation stuff. But why doesn't the synoptics, which are earlier and closer to jesus not have the salvation stuff? Why is it only later on, when the authors of john got creative? In fact john depicts a different jesus than the synoptics? You should learn the history of your bible. Its amazing stuff. As a pop quiz, how many endings are there to Mark? And which one is now the one christians use? I'l leave you with this. My goal is to educate christians about their bible.

Time stamp 22:40 Cliff i love your heart and mind and your ability to go to settings like this and show the rationality of the bible as being more than just religious text but accurate historical manuscripts. So thankyou, now as to my time stamp, and this is just a personal feeling, it would have been a lot better to see how God defines slavery in deuteronomy rather than viewing the text as we modern day humans view slavery as chains and shackels. I think with a proper view of what God called slavery, it would have gone a long way towards showing this young man that pur culture has a warpes view of language and thus we have to study not just the words on the page but the context and grammar. If someone couldnt pay a debt, they became the slave of the person they owed money to until they had worked and payed their debt. This isnt going and taking people against their will and away from their homes. There is specific laws given for a slave owner who has a none Jewish slave, these were individuals who are again wither criminals, enemies of war, or indebted slaves who did not belong to the house of Israel. Sorry for the long text but i feel like this conversation was in desperate desperate need of defining slavery as God God viewd it, not as man of the 21st century view it

Cliffe is fantastic, a very lovable, well-mannered, sincere Christian. Also Cliffe's arguments are sound, robust and nearly invincible; yet, in my modest opinion, the guy from the 7 minute to the 19 minutes in the video totally destroyed his position. It's rare and probably Cliffe does not care if he loses a battle here and there, or perhaps he didn't notice but that was and is the worse position a Christian could hold. It's really unnerving that many other clever Christians like Cliffe still maintain that shaky position in regard to the Bible. Cliffe pleeease, revisit that position of yours because you are going to lose many of your hard-earned rewards in heaven by stamping down that mercilessly on the Holy Book. It's quite a cringing situation, if you ask me. Well done to that intelligent student for exposing Cliffe's position in regard to the Holy Text! I mentioned it before in some other comment sections and either Cliffe missed it or he was badly led astray in seminary; it is now so ingrained in his thinking he doesn't even realize it. I'm sorry Cliffe but ... no inspired Bible, no foundation to stand on. For all the rest, as always, Cliffe is quite spot on his brilliant argumentations.

[@whatisitthesedays]

Watch his debate with Josh and Matt on modern day debate about slavery in the bible. His arguments are very flimsy.

[@howtobesure3950]

​@@whatisitthesedays I watched a few of Matt's debates and he is a bit on the extreme side of atheism for my liking. Basically, he says that no evidence would convince him that the God of the Bible exist but I could be wrong. That's why I avoid watching his debates. I think Cliffe does a pretty good job even on slavery but he is not a theologian, he is more like of a philosopher. Just when he bashes the Bible, that's the stupidest thing I've heard from many a Christians. If you haven't noticed I am a Christian who hold to a opposite view. I believe the Bible to be the perfect, inspired, preserved word of God. I can't let Cliffe walk all over it even if I like him as a person and must love him as a brother in Christ. For that same reason, if you are not a Christian, the fact that "slavery", or better, servitude was regulated by the God of the Bible, or you don't understand all of the details, or you can grasp the subtleties in that particular cultural setting, or the progression of the people of God out of slavery, or the differences from the real slavery and so on, it doesn't make the claim that God exist null and void. God chastises people in many ways. If He is perfectly just and loving, He couldn't do it any other way: He had to punish people before they lost their salvation to go to heaven. Then when Jesus arrived on the scene, He placated and "re-directed" His indignation towards sin to the next step to whosoever believes in the sacrifice of His Son on the cross rather than in the Law.

Evolution does not have a very long record we can follow. Microevolution/adaptation can be found but the fossil record lacks that which the evolutionists need to prove their case. Darwin mistakenly believed that cells were interchangeable, a belief from his time. We know better now, due to DNA research. This, alone, would probably encourage him to abandon his book.

Days later my sister offered me a slice of melon saying it is soul food. After taking the melon I felt spiritually mentally and emotionally dead or numb and do not know what to do about this. I heard voices from people saying I am going to hell because I took a slice of melon and that I sold my soul to a guy online, which I didn't. How can I feel the joy, love and peace from Jesus again or has he given up on me and is it too late for me? Am I going to hell regardless how I live my life anyway because I took a slice of melon my sister said was soul food? How do I make things up to Jesus? I hear consistently voices from people saying gossiping that I am going to hell for selling my soul to the devil by taking the slice of melon from by my sister.

Do not listen to Lee he is a troll. The fact that you are searching and asking means he has not forsaken you, that will only happen if you commit the unpardobable sin which simply means that you turn Him away so much that you no longer hear the call of the Holy Spirit. If someone chooses that then God honnors that freewill choice. As I have told others, Jesus Christ loves you, died and rose for you. If you were the only one left to die for, Jesus would do do. We are not free to sin and still be saved, but when we sincerely repent. HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OF OUR SINS.

Well done Cliffe, just on the topic of slavery in the O.T. Slavery with Israel wasn't about phasing out an old economy. It was provision for disenfranchised Hebrews who had no land to claim by birth right. So they "Slave" would work for the Authority/Master of the home meanwhile get room and board for 7 years.

[@robertsumners931]

If god always acts in accordance with his nature (whatever that means), then he still must have more than one viable option that does not contradict his nature if he is to ''claim free will.'' Otherwise, he is a slave to his nature, like a robot, and not a free personal agent. What would the word "option" mean to a being who created all options? Some say that "free will" with god does not mean what it means with humans. But how are we to understand this? What conditions of free will would a christian scrap in order to craft a "free agency" for god? Multiple options? Desire? Freedom? Power? Potential to avoid? Perhaps desire could be jettisoned. Desire implies a lack, and a perfect being should lack nothing. But it would be a very strange "person" with no needs or desires. Desire is what prompts a choice in the first place. It also contributes to assessing whether the decision was reasonable. Without desire, choices are willy-nilly, and not true decisions at all. Besides, ''the biblical god expressed many desires.'' Basically this supposed god is RELYING on his ''faulty creations'' (the fall of adam & eve) to go around and CONVINCE each other that he exists, that's preposterous.!!! No objection saves the christian god, he does not exist. Perhaps a more modest deity can be imagined: one that is not both personal and all-knowing, both all-knowing and all-powerful, both perfect and free. But until a god is defined coherently, and then proven to exist with evidence and sound reasoning, it is sensible not to think that such a being exists. This guy is JUST expressing his own personal views and opinions, having said that, it DOES NOT mean he is right, at the END OF THE DAY, it's only his OPINIONS.!!! Maybe these STUDENTS should ask this question>>>> Let's start from the adam & eve story, if that can't be PROVEN beyond reasonable doubt with ''CREDIBLE'' evidence, barring anything that the bible CLAIMS and faith based, if one CANNOT get past there, the rewst of the story is rendered USELESS...... How ''convenient ''god is OUTSIDE SPACE and TIME'' well he should give proof that this supposed god is ''outside of space and time, do i think he can do that, not a chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
