Cliffe Knechtle Debates a Doubting Christian Over Bible Contradictions

He was raised in the church but now calls himself “a Christian leading agnostic.” In this unscripted public exchange, a young man brings his hardest questions straight to Cliffe Knechtle: is the New Testament reliable, do the Gospels actually contradict each other, and how can a good God command judgment on children? Cliffe doesn't dodge a single one. The conversation opens on the historical case for the New Testament — manuscript evidence, how the 27 books of the canon were chosen, and why the Gnostic Gospels were left out before moving into two specific “contradictions”: Judas's death and the differing genealogies in Matthew and Luke. From there it turns to Gospel authorship, biblical infallibility, and finally the hardest question of the discussion: God's command against the Amalekites in 1 Samuel 15. Cliffe closes by defending free will, divine justice, and the difference between a fair God and an unfair world. Which answer stood out to you the most?
