Give Me an Answer - Try Living Out Moral Relativism

Prog. 2019
Cliffe Knechtle has a good dialogue with students at Texas State University. Recorded in October 2019.
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 love it when people point out society dictates morality. Which society? Pol Pot? Hilter's? Idi Amin? People/society don't dictate morality. Good job Cliffe and Robert.

"Learn to doubt your doubts"
That is absolutely genius. Thankyou.

Thank you Cliff ❤❤ I needed this as a reminder. Sometimes I feel guilty if I have doubt. Thank you for helping me with my walk with God and explaining it with love and respect.

Seeing college students trying their best to rationalize their hypocrisy. Sam Harris does this but on a macro-scale.

In order for you to say something is crooked or is not straight it means you know that there is something objectively straight.

Simpler version of the entire video.

We would have no idea what arbitrary was without a back drop of stability.

The questions I ask people when they say something like “what makes the miracles of the Bible different from the “miracles” of Greek teachings, Hinduism etc..” are “What made that miracle divine?” “What about that “miracle” proves that it was a supernatural event that took place?”

Explaining how a car works doesn't mean there is no driver.

Without a divine moral law giver, a society giving value to mankind is just relativism. The only real way to have moral objectivism is to have a divine moral law giver or else, and again, all that’s left is man’s opinion.

Best dialogue I’ve seen from your channel so far

God sent Gandhi to hell though didn't he?

It seems some believe we can get a physical sample (maybe in millilitres) of love 💖 🤗
- bottle it up and sell it.

I always like to look at it like would you prefer, a world where humans are free to do literally whatever they want without any checks and balances, or a world where we we have laws and rules that govern our behavior and reduce the amount of horrible things we can do to each other.

Humans are animals capable of great good and great bad, that is, we have the ability to help, encourage and kill, destroy. We are a mashup of all kinds kinds of emotions, from selfish to selfless, kind to malicious.

Moral standards help keep the worse parts of our nature in check which ultimately helps foster a healthy, thriving society. Of course we arent perfect, thus, morality isnt perfect but a world where people *try* to do right by each other is a much better place to live in than one where people do whatever they want without consequence.

Are humans not pleasure seeking animals? What gives us pleasure? Good health, wellbeing, food, achieving our life goals. We seek out the things that makes us feel good. Does getting stabbed feel good? Does seeing your loved one stabbed feel good? While morality can differ from people to people, one thing remains consistent is that humans are driven toward actions that make them feel good. We don't need an objective source to validate morality; it more conducive to a society seeking survival and happiness to respect your fellow man than it is to kill and destroy without consequence. Basicallh, Life is a little better when we all get along.

Where's Tom with his usual "That student made a great point...blah blah blah."

I feel like it’s odd to speak about love in the sense that it benefits us biologically. While this is true, people do things to their extreme detriment for the same reason, making every human capable of love insane, because they sacrifice their time their effort their finances and even sometimes their own health for the sake of love. Meaning the only people that are really functional on the basis that they only do things that are beneficial to them physically are those incapable of it! Psychopaths, sociopaths, those that we literally classify as humanely dysfunctional
