Cliffe Knechtle HEATED Debate: Jesus Rose... or History’s Greatest Hoax?

Cliffe Knechtle engages in a profound debate with a group of skeptical students, focusing on the historical reliability of the Bible—particularly the Gospels and the resurrection of Jesus. The speaker outlines four criteria for evaluating a historical document: internal consistency, literary style, archaeological evidence, and manuscript support. The audience repeatedly raises critical questions about contradictions in the Gospels, the selection of books in the New Testament, and the challenge of perceiving truth without being able to see or touch God. Both sides engage in an honest yet respectful exchange on faith, doubt, biblical symbolism, and personal encounters with God, resulting in a dialogue rich in philosophical, theological, and historical depth. 00:30 Give Me an Answer - #2710 21:35 Give Me an Answer - #0911
