How Do We Tell the Difference Between Doctrine and Culture in the Bible? - Cliffe Knechlte

Cliffe Knechtle debates with a skeptic. The skeptic questions the reliability of trusting documents written by humans thousands of years ago, while the Christian affirms his faith based on evidence of design in the universe, objective morality, and the historical credibility of texts like the Gospels. They discuss the difference between descriptive and prescriptive parts of the Bible, the transformation of early believers, and the role of eyewitnesses to the resurrection. The issue of people who have never encountered the Bible or Jesus—such as those in North Korea—is raised to question God's fairness and judgment. Ultimately, the believer emphasizes that faith in God does not come from personal merit or morality, but from a trusting relationship with Jesus Christ, even if people reach that relationship in different ways. 00:30 Stuart & Cliffe Knechtle | Yale | How Do I Believe There Is A God? | Give Me An Answer 28:33 Stuart & Cliffe Knechtle | Atheists Are Often Inconsistent In Their World View | Give Me An Answer
