Nezahualcoyotl (1402-1472) may have had a difficult name to pronounce, but his name is full of significance. It means “Hungry Coyote,” and this man’s writings show a spiritual hunger. As a poet and ruler in Mexico before the arrival of the Europeans, he wrote, “Truly the gods, which I worship, are idols of stone that do not speak nor feel. . . . Some very powerful, hidden and unknown god is the creator of the entire universe. He is the only one that can console me in my affliction and help me in such anguish as my heart feels; I want him to be my helper and protection.”

The Cherokee have Ye ho waah, Chaldeans Yahve, Vedic Yahvah, etc. YHWH was always a worldwide God, only some got the message past the antediluvian stories of the old gods or "star people" who are the fallen angels or Watchers. The demigods and giants were their offspring where it's told Odin, Zeus, Indra, etc., mated with human women: the nephilim, rephaim, gibborim, Anakim, etc. They were punished for that and providing esoteric knowledge like Prometheus did and became rulers of the underworld like Osiris by that punishment. Same story just retold and believed differently which is the fallen spiritual influence mostly. Praise Jesus 👏 🙏

My dad used to ask this question antagonistically at the dinner table. He had been frustrated in his faith - raised in an Eastern Orthodox family and culture that avoided thinking about things like this, so in his youth, not being satisfied with the non-snswers or even willingness to engage, he grew hardened. The rest of my family were believers, but he helped me understand that these questions NEED to be engaged. And yet, there is a point where the question becomes an excuse. And so one evening, I (led by the Holy Spirit) said to him "I can't be sure what happens to theose who don't hear - but God is good! If you are concerned, you can take Jesus to these people. The only thing I know right now is that YOU have heard - what will YOU do with Jesus right now?" He never asked that question again, and in fact, I believe that was one of the turning points where God drew my dad back to Himself and continued a miraculous work of santification that went on until he passed away. My dad engaged the church, and his life showed a faith that I had not seen growing up. There was evidence of a life and soul saved, and I am thankful to Jesus for what He did in our family.

Interesting, the Tanakh shows that when the Mashiach-messiah comes all will know God like the sea covers the earth! Isaiah 11:9 “They shall neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mount, for the earth shall be full of knowledge of the Lord as water covers the sea.” Habakkuk 2:14 “For the earth will be filled with knowledge of the glory of the Lord as water covers the seabed.” Jeremiah 31:34 “No longer will one teach his neighbor or [will] one [teach] his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know Me from their smallest to their greatest-oracle of the Lord-when I will forgive their iniquity and their sin I will no longer remember.” Meaning it will not be a long progression, it will just be when that time comes. Also, the Tanakh never shows the Israelites to missonize other people, this is called free will, either come to the One and singular truth, or don’t. This shows that God Himself will make the world know that He is God, and all gods that are below the heaven will fall. 1. Deuteronomy 4:39 (Stone Edition): “You shall know this day and take to your heart that the Lord alone is God in the heavens above and on the earth below; there is no other.” 2. Deuteronomy 32:39 (Stone Edition): “See now that I, I am He, and there is no god with Me. I put to death and I bring to life, I strike, and I will heal, and there is no rescuer from My hand.” 3. 1 Kings 8:23 (Stone Edition): “And he said, ‘Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like You, in heaven above or on the earth below, Who keeps the covenant and lovingkindness with Your servants who walk before You with all their heart.’” 4. Isaiah 44:6 (Stone Edition): “So said the Lord, King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of Hosts: ‘I am the first, and I am the last, and besides Me there is no god.’” 5. Isaiah 45:5 (Stone Edition): “I am the Lord, and there is none else; besides Me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known Me.” These verses assert the absolute monotheism of the God of Israel, declaring His uniqueness and sovereignty over all other gods and powers that may be worshipped or believed in by different cultures or nations. Psalm 73:25-26 (Stone Edition): “Whom do I have in heaven? And with You I desire nothing on earth. My flesh and my heart may pine away, but God is the rock of my heart and my portion forever.” Psalm 95:3 (Stone Edition): “For the Lord is the great God, and the great King above all gods.” Deuteronomy 10:17 (Stone Edition): “For the Lord your God, He is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awesome God, who does not show favor and does not take bribes.” Jewish theology and law based on the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), has analyzed the Christian belief in Jesus’ sacrifice for salvation through grace, without adherence to the commandments (mitzvot), is seen as an attempt to bypass the traditional Jewish understanding of righteousness and atonement which is based from what the Hebrew states. How do you bypass something that was never given to you to bypass?

Agreed. If God doesn't exist then nothing to worry about non Christians, Atheists, agnostics and secular humanists. It's God's rules on humanity and Creation that we require salvation from our sins in order to enter His Presence without being consumed by His Wrath on sin SOOOO YEAH. Other religions don't equal other Truths if they're not true. I don't think Logan Paul understood what Truth claim means before meeting Cliffe Knechtle. I'd love to see Professor John Lennox again with Cliffe Knechtle Awesome videos from Brandon. In some cases Cliffe and Stuart Knechtle speaking with college students goes well but in debates with Atheists Matt Dillahunty, Aaron Ra and other Atheists no they're not very qualified. I have no idea what Logan Paul is talking about when he says he's spiritual, believes in a higher power and such when he says blasphemous things about Jesus Christ of Nazareth and Christianity which he knows very little about. I'm from Newark, New Jersey in The United States of America and I've met many Atheists, agnostics and secular humanists in my 24 years alive which helped me with countering atheist arguments. HAPPY 70TH BIRTHDAY BROTHER CLIFFE 🎉🥳. Cliffe Knechtle's getting older but he's speaking FACTS 🔥. Regardless of the choices you make it's still a choice that's available to you because you have options within a limited capacity so Free Will still exists in human beings. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus.

@@justingary5322 Hi Justin “Other religions don’t equal other truths if they aren’t true”…OK And apparently you conclude that “micro evolution “ is a natural phenomenon but not ‘macro-evolution’. Correct? Reaching such conclusions aren’t necessary nor found in biblical sources …correct? I also read that historical evidence supports what you argue is the true religion….correct? Why is being reasonable and having evidence to reach fact based conclusions important? If one has confidence that ancient texts offer the truth from a real deity shouldn’t that alone be sufficient? I’m agnostic atheist and find that many Christians resist just letting faith be faith. Have you considered just letting faith be the narrow way or the mustard seed?

Jesus explains how salvation is achieved for those who have never heard with his story of the widow of Zeraphat. She was a widow from a Baal worshipping community, but she was still chosen over Israelites to be saved as she had genuine spiritual poverty and hunger. Her cries were answered by the Lord despite having no contact with God's people.

@@I.Kat. Who told you that all people with a near death experience faced the Jesus character at any juncture during the process? Are you relying on testimonies from individuals who are Christian sympathizers? Because every religion makes the same claims without a single shred of evidence other than a made up story, which is either an intentional effort to further their own inherited beliefs or unintentional due to their lack of understanding and knowledge in TaNaKh. As a Christian, you are faced with the fact that Christendom made its foundation based on the claim that Jesus is God in the flesh, and if that is so, then immediately the claims that Jesus is God automatically makes the claim a complete lie. How can we determine this fact? What is God’s own opinion? Exodus 33:20 “But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.” Deuteronomy 34:10 “And there has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord (God) knew face to face..” Exodus 33:21-23 “And God said, “Behold, there is a place by Me where you shall stand on the rock, and while My glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.” Exodus 33:10-11 “And when all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would rise up and worship, each at his tent door. Thus God used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his assistant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.” Yet here you are Kat in the 21st century making claims that suggests that the God of Israel is a liar and a deceiver? Do you have any idea how much trouble you are in today? Because if those people who you ignorantly claim that they saw the Jesus character at any point during their “near death experience” actually saw their “God” they wouldn’t have lived to tell anyone about it according to the God of Israel. Unfortunately Christian, your Christian beliefs came 1,300 years after Torah, a progressive revelation that kept changing and changing in order to justify your own Christian lifestyles. Christendom has over 44,000 different denominations divided amongst themselves, all different opinions,, have caused contradiction and confusion within Christianity. This does not make Christianity true or divine whatsoever. In fact, quite the opposite. Because God’s commandments are eternal. And what is God’s opinion and commandment about creating a new way to God? Deuteronomy 12:32 “Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.” Again, 1,300 years later in walks the “New” Twistament and its Jesus agenda. What a conundrum for Christendom‼️ Again, your grand delusion which you have learned in the Christian world is immediately dismantled and dismissed. Case closed.

Thank you so much for that prayer at the end of the video. I was raised atheist, and became interested in faith after a personal experience in December of last year. Your videos, along with the recent resurgence in discussing issues of faith with people like Jordan Peterson, Alex O’Connor, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, George Janko, and Cliff Knechtle have given me an entirely new understanding of religion and faith. The way you phrased it at the end of the video really spoke to me. “Choose whom you will serve today.” We’re all living in service of something, be it an ideology, a goal, a lifestyle, or a person. I’m still agnostic about some of the big questions, but after reading the gospels, I cannot think of anything or anyone more worthy of living in service to than Jesus. I can wake up today and make it my goal to serve Jesus and humbly attempt to follow in his footsteps.

So service to a man? And not God? How is it logical to say a man is greater than the creator? See I am a Jew, I read Hebrew, I read Tanakh, and there is no Jesus or Yeshua in it. Exodus 20:4-5 (Stone Edition): “You shall not make for yourself a graven image or any likeness of anything that is in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth. You shall not prostrate yourself to them nor worship them, for I am the Lord, your God- a jealous God, Who visits the sin of fathers upon children to the third and fourth generations, for My enemies.” Isaiah 48:11 (Stone Edition): “For My sake, for My sake I will do [it], for how can it be defiled? And My glory I shall not give to another.” Man cannot save you! 1. Psalm 146:3 (Stone Edition): “Do not rely upon nobles, nor upon a human being, for he holds no salvation.” 2. Isaiah 2:22 (Stone Edition): “Stop relying upon man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for what is he esteemed?” 3. Jeremiah 17:5 (Stone Edition): “So said the Lord: Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, and turns his heart away from the Lord.” 4. Psalm 118:8-9 (Stone Edition): “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in nobles.” These verses emphasize the futility of placing trust in humans or earthly powers, highlighting the importance of relying on God who alone provides true salvation, strength, and refuge.

It's God's rules on humanity and Creation that we require salvation from our sins in order to enter His Presence without being consumed by His Wrath on sin SOOOO YEAH. Other religions don't equal other Truths if they're not true. I don't think Logan Paul understood what Truth claim means before meeting Cliffe Knechtle. I'd love to see Professor John Lennox again with Cliffe Knechtle Awesome videos from Brandon. In some cases Cliffe and Stuart Knechtle speaking with college students goes well but in debates with Atheists Matt Dillahunty, Aaron Ra and other Atheists no they're not very qualified. I have no idea what Logan Paul is talking about when he says he's spiritual, believes in a higher power and such when he says blasphemous things about Jesus Christ of Nazareth and Christianity which he knows very little about. I'm from Newark, New Jersey in The United States of America and I've met many Atheists, agnostics and secular humanists in my 24 years alive which helped me with countering atheist arguments. HAPPY 70TH BIRTHDAY BROTHER CLIFFE 🎉🥳. Cliffe Knechtle's getting older but he's speaking FACTS 🔥. Regardless of the choices you make it's still a choice that's available to you because you have options within a limited capacity so Free Will still exists in human beings. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant

Those who never heard? This is a moral question. It’s questioning God’s morality. Like, why would God not want to save people? Why wouldn’t he give them the word directly? First, Christ’s sacrifice is necessary for salvation. So why would God show up 2,000 years ago? Why not anytime before that for other people? Christ’s sacrifice also applied to people before even if they didn’t know what the sacrifice was. It’s retroactive. Even though it hadn’t happen yet, the sacrifice still covered their sins. They may have just known about God, but they trusted God for their salvation. Everyone knows God exists through nature and conscience. There’s nobody out there that doesn’t know God exists. They might not know Jesus, but they know who God is. Some say that those who don’t know Jesus can be saved by Christ’s sacrifice if they seek God (like OT Saints). The OT people did not know Jesus’ name but they were still saved by his sacrifice. Paul even says the gospel was preached to Abraham. Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. He trusted in God and he was saved by works and trusting in Christ. The more biblically consistent view is that God will get true seekers the truth about Christ so they can be saved (Acts 10-Cornelius). Cornelius is already a believer in God but he actually is given the gospel so he can be saved. So it seems like you need to know the name today to be saved, right? But what about people who don’t know his name? Well, it could be that God has so ordered the world so that those who never hear the Gospel, wouldn’t have believed it anyway (Acts 17:26-27). That’s possible right? We know there are a lot of people who do hear the gospel and don’t believe it, right? But it could be people who never hear the gospel wouldn’t have believed it anyway. Why is this a possibility? In Acts 17:26-27, Paul is speaking to the Athenians on Mars Hill and notice he says, “From one man God made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and “he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.” So it could be that those who have never heard Jesus wouldn’t have believed anyway. That’s possible. So God is not morally culpable because he knows they are not going to believe in him anyway. The bottom line is this, since God is just, nobody is going to be treated unfairly. Everyone is going to wind up where they ought to wind up in eternity. Let me ask a question. If I were to ask multiple Christians if they know someone who is not a Christian who they’d like to be a Christian, they’d obviously would know at least one person, right? Now if we ask those same Christians if the people they are thinking of are on an endless pursuit of the truth or they want to know if Christianity is true, right? Or will the Christians say the non-Christians are more apathetic and/or hostile? What would the Christians say? Most Christians will say the person they are thinking of is either apathetic or hostile. Most non-Christians I know are not on a truth quest. Instead they are on a happiness quest. They are going to believe whatever makes them “happy”. If they think God is going to get in the way of their happiness, so much for God, right? God wants us to be saved, more than we humans want to be saved. That’s what he says he wants all people to be saved. You think if God wants all people to be saved, all people who want to be saved, will be saved? Yes. I rest in God’s judgment and love. This is all ultimately going to work out. What I know does save people is the gospel. We need to risk all to get everyone the gospel in whatever way we can. Atheists might not be satisfied with this, but they are just bringing up moral objections. If you’re not a believer by what standard do they have to say that God is immoral? BUT it’s a good question they can give to our worldview. So Christians say God is a moral being, but then they try to point out immoral examples. God wants everyone to be saved, but if certain people don’t want to be saved then it’s because they don’t want to be saved. A lot of people out there are not even seeking God. Instead they are running from Him. Because they want to do their own thing. Even as a Christian half the time I wish I could do my own thing. Doesn’t everybody? It’s inconvenient to a lot of people that someone’s the boss but it’s not us humans. I’m just being honest.

The interesting thing is that “Wind” and “Spirit” is the same word in the Biblical Hebrew language. And so, if we are to take Genesis seriously and it is the “spirit” or “wind” of God that hovered over the face of the waters, and it was that spirit that made all things with his powerful word, then it would not be unreasonable to then believe stories of the spirit revealing Jesus who is the word made flesh to individuals according to John 1. And if we are to take Jesus serious, he points out to Simon when he renames him Peter that his (that is Peter’s) acknowledgement of Jesus as Messiah, Son of the Living God, was not revealed to him by flesh and blood but by God and that the reason he named him “Peter” which means rock, was that his church (his assembly) would be built on that same rock of acknowledgement. This seems to presuppose that one cannot even recognize Jesus as son of God without God’s spirit revealing it to them. If that then is the case, it brings us back to the original idea that it is the Spirit that reveals Jesus to us and not our own efforts. Therefore it would be reasonable to conclude that stories such as the comment above speaks of, seem to be parallel with scripture rather than perpendicular to it.

I find it amazing how everyone says that we should follow Jesus but then ignore almost everything Jesus said and just pay attention to what Paul preached. The one big problem with the story of Paul, is that he persecuted christians , but Jesus made it very clear that whoever disown Him in front of others, He will also disown that person in front of the Father. That makes Paul just another false profit and if you believe Paul, you cannot say that you believe in Jesus because you don't believe what He said. The biggest problem with Christianity is that they've made an idol out of the Bible and don't see al the times when Jesus pointed out the old testament errors. The contents of Bible where decided by church leaders in 4th century, but since then more than 50 other Gospels have been discovered. Those Gospels are rejected by Christians, simply because it's not in the Bible and what Jesus tells His disciples in those Gospels doesn't fit in with what the likes of Paul preached. So in reality all Christians reject Jesus and put their faith into 4th centuries Bishops judgment of what people should and shouldn't read. It's hard to think about what all Bible worshippers are going to experience when they realize, after death, that it's them whom Jesus referred to as "lukewarm" in Revelation 3:16 or that it's them in Matthew 7:23 who Jesus will tell to go away and that He never knew them.

So faith is not merely my self directed choice as I make many choices in life. So the God is a gentleman idea and never interferes in the mind of man is more a logic argument than a biblical one. I understand his desire to do this bc it is uncomfortable to say God Himself chooses for salvation through His own sovereign choice those appointed for eternal life.

This is a great dialogue about this topic- thank you! As I was reflecting on the question, "Why bother evangelizing?", it occurred to me that the very act of evangelizing often results in the softening of people's hearts so that they might submit to God. The Bible states that men are "without excuse", but it is most certainly the mercy of God when the gospel is brought to dark places. Many more turn to God as a direct result of these efforts.

Other religions don't equal other Truths if they're not true. I don't think Logan Paul understood what Truth claim means before meeting Cliffe Knechtle. I'd love to see Professor John Lennox again with Cliffe Knechtle Awesome videos from Brandon. In some cases Cliffe and Stuart Knechtle speaking with college students goes well but in debates with Atheists Matt Dillahunty, Aaron Ra and other Atheists no they're not very qualified. I have no idea what Logan Paul is talking about when he says he's spiritual, believes in a higher power and such when he says blasphemous things about Jesus Christ of Nazareth and Christianity which he knows very little about. I'm from Newark, New Jersey in The United States of America and I've met many Atheists, agnostics and secular humanists in my 24 years alive which helped me with countering atheist arguments. HAPPY 70TH BIRTHDAY BROTHER CLIFFE 🎉🥳. Cliffe Knechtle's getting older but he's speaking FACTS 🔥. Regardless of the choices you make it's still a choice that's available to you because you have options within a limited capacity so Free Will still exists in human beings. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus.
