Transcript
- 0:06Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Brett Keene and you were
- 0:10watching and listening to GOD TV Radio International.
- 0:14That's right. If you'd like to hear me on the
- 0:16radio as well as see my videos and exclusive content, you can
- 0:21check out the links in my description.
- 0:23Also, in the same description, you can find ways to be able to
- 0:26support me and that's various ways such as Cash App as well as
- 0:31being able to buy merchandise, including my books that I've
- 0:34written. I'm going to announce something
- 0:38before we talk about this. On Friday, 3:00 PM Central, I'm
- 0:44going to be doing a live discussion, interview slash
- 0:48discussion with TTR that's short for Truth Objective Reality.
- 0:56I've already got his link in the title as well as in the
- 0:59comments. The video scheduled, it's on the
- 1:01front page. All you have to do is click
- 1:03Notify. A huge amount, a massive amount
- 1:09of atheists have been invited and they're welcome to come in
- 1:13and actually chat with me and TTOR.
- 1:16They are allowed to try to defeat us in a philosophical
- 1:21debate if they want to. However, I don't believe any of
- 1:25them will show up because the rules, they don't like rules.
- 1:30And the rules are this. And I think they're pretty
- 1:33simple. If you come in, you have to be
- 1:36on camera and you have to actually have a, you know, you
- 1:41have to have a microphone, obviously, so we can hear you
- 1:45over the radio. And you're not allowed to do
- 1:49like some of these atheists do, where you just yell and scream
- 1:53and interrupt people constantly. If you start getting loud or
- 1:56ridiculous or cutting people off, you'll be muted.
- 2:00And if you can't control yourself or contain your
- 2:03maturity, you'll be kicked the hell out of the room.
- 2:07I don't care if it bothers you. I don't care if you go to
- 2:10Twitter and make 100 posts saying that your freedom of
- 2:13speech was altered. The rules were set before you
- 2:16even came into the room, and it's not your podcast, so you
- 2:20don't get to control how things are.
- 2:22You just simply get to throw out your questions.
- 2:25You can play your little gotcha games, but I'll predict right
- 2:29now that at the end of it all, you're going to lose.
- 2:33You will lose because many of you do not know what you're
- 2:36talking about. We'll get you on science, we'll
- 2:38get you on history. We'll get you on religion.
- 2:42Every which way but loose. So go ahead, make my Millennium.
- 2:49You know, I've been wrong about something having to do with God
- 2:52for a while. I've listened to a lot of
- 2:56philosophers. I've listened to a lot of old
- 2:58generation Christians, including modern day ones, and I've been
- 3:04wrong about something that has been argued about for over 2000
- 3:08years since the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
- 3:13You probably heard 100,000 times where atheists, including
- 3:17religious people, will ask the same question over and over.
- 3:21It's an emotional argument. Why does God allow evil?
- 3:25Why is there evil in the world? Why is there this?
- 3:28Why is there that? And I've always attempted to
- 3:33plan my response and my answer around the idea or the premise
- 3:39that God allows evil. I was like, OK, yeah, there's
- 3:43evil in the world. It seems as though God just kind
- 3:47of sits back and let's it happen.
- 3:50And, you know, here we are. We live in an evil world where
- 3:53evil stuff seems to happen all the time.
- 3:57But then I got to thinking to myself, is that really the
- 4:01proper way to be able to respond to evil by describing free will
- 4:07and our choices and that God lays his cards out on the table
- 4:12and he says you have the choice between this and that.
- 4:16Is that really the proper response?
- 4:17It's a good answer, but does it really deal with anything?
- 4:22It sure as hell doesn't do the atheist any favor though.
- 4:26In their mind, they believe that if they can somehow ruin the
- 4:30reputation or validity of God's good or decency, integrity, that
- 4:37somehow in their little minds, their little sponge brains, that
- 4:41this somehow dictates that God doesn't exist.
- 4:44It doesn't. Even if you spent all day or for
- 4:48the rest of your life saying that God is mean and he makes a
- 4:51bad leader or a bad creator of the universe or all that, that
- 4:55in no way is evidence that God isn't real, obviously.
- 5:00And a lot of atheists forget that.
- 5:02That's too bad. And unfortunately, there's some
- 5:04religious people who are very weak in their faith who never
- 5:09really committed to it anyway. They hear something like that
- 5:13and they're just looking for any excuse or justification, run
- 5:16away from their supposed faith so they can go on to be an
- 5:21atheist through manipulation and peer pressure.
- 5:24And then imagine to themselves when they repeat like a parrot,
- 5:28the same thing that atheist told them.
- 5:30It's somehow makes them smart and makes them bright because
- 5:33they think nobody has a response.
- 5:38But I got to thinking to myself about bad things in the world
- 5:43and how they're dealt with and what is it?
- 5:46What does it mean when we say something is allowed?
- 5:51Well, it's as if somebody is saying that God is basically
- 5:56giving people permission to do things.
- 6:00That's how a lot of people look at free will, don't they?
- 6:02They look at it as that's basically God giving rapists and
- 6:06murderers and killers and awful people this God-given right or
- 6:12ability to be able to step over the line and harm someone else.
- 6:16But there's a bit of a paradox there when you think about it.
- 6:20Because of God's allowing someone to use their free will
- 6:23to violate somebody else's, then it's not really.
- 6:28You wouldn't really say that that's pure free will, is it?
- 6:32At least whenever it comes to human perception.
- 6:35If somebody can rape somebody else, then that person who
- 6:39obviously has not chosen to be raped and nowhere in their free
- 6:44will, so that they wanted that permitted.
- 6:46But it's a bad idea, obviously, to try to go this route with
- 6:50free will, which a lot of Christians do.
- 6:53And then a lot of cases that response is good, but it's not
- 6:56going to be so good for a kid that might have been molested.
- 7:00You know, we got a group out there called NAMBLA, ran by
- 7:04atheists who founded it, and the entire point of the organization
- 7:10is to sexually abuse children. That's what their entire group
- 7:14is about. And there are some Catholics out
- 7:17there who say that they believe in God, even though Christ tells
- 7:21them that he'll destroy them if they hurt little people.
- 7:25They do it anyway. So how do you deal with that?
- 7:30Well, I would respond like this. And this is something I've
- 7:33really, really been thinking about and I've been unpackaged
- 7:37and in my head because I don't want to get to a point, ladies
- 7:41and gentlemen, where I'm just simply saying the same
- 7:44programmed responses or answers. What if I were to tell you that
- 7:49God never allows evil? What if I told you that all this
- 7:56crap that religious people, non believers have been saying about
- 7:59God allowing evil is untrue? That it's actually not a a
- 8:06proper statement. That's not appropriate.
- 8:09If I were to tell you right now that there was someone who made
- 8:13the decision to fly down the highway in their vehicle and a
- 8:18cop was running a radar, paying attention to traffic and caught
- 8:24that person actually flying past them at 100 mph, the cop is
- 8:31obviously going to stop what they're doing.
- 8:33They're going to put their Donuts and coffee down and
- 8:36they're going to go race after the person.
- 8:39The person did what they did, and at the very moment they're
- 8:44going to get away with what the Hell's going on until the cops
- 8:48speeds up and catches them. You see what I mean?
- 8:52It's not that the cop is allowing it to happen.
- 8:55It's a matter of time. It's a matter of how this is
- 8:59going on in the environment. Now I know what some of you will
- 9:02say, but wait a minute. We're talking about God here.
- 9:06We're talking about this multi dimensional entity that has the
- 9:11ability to stop you right in your tracks.
- 9:15True, true. But if God actually has a court
- 9:21date scheduled for all of us, and he does, if you read the
- 9:25Bible, it actually says that he has a place called Judgment Day
- 9:29where everyone and anybody, no matter what your race or color,
- 9:34what your ideology is, and view that you're all going to have
- 9:38your day in court, then you have not gotten away with it.
- 9:43You have not been allowed to do anything.
- 9:47You've been, you can argue maybe that in a physical realm, you've
- 9:54been given temporary time to readjust or make other decisions
- 10:00and you've been able to do your free will, but you didn't get
- 10:05away with it. If we're going to argue that God
- 10:09is all seeing, all knowing, all powerful, then the moment that
- 10:14you'd even thought of doing the shit that you did, you're
- 10:18caught. Do you understand the moment
- 10:21that you even think about doing something evil and you start
- 10:25going through the process of doing it, you're caught.
- 10:29Your thoughts have become the crime.
- 10:33The process of going towards it are planning or designing with
- 10:38purpose to do the crime. You've already been caught.
- 10:44This is a cop who already knows that when he's on the side of
- 10:47the road that there are some people out there who are going
- 10:50to break the law. He already knows it.
- 10:52That's the whole reason why he has the technology which gives
- 10:55him the power to be able to catch you in the act.
- 10:59Now, the only thing that is stopping you from getting caught
- 11:03is him just simply catching up with you.
- 11:07Well, with God. God doesn't need to catch up
- 11:10with you. He doesn't need to chase you
- 11:13down the road. He doesn't need to dive into a
- 11:16dark rabbit hole in order to find his man or his criminal.
- 11:20You have been caught. The moment that you moved your
- 11:24hand or your body physically, mentally, emotionally to do
- 11:28something wrong, you're screwed. Now, there's some religious
- 11:34people out there that are going to say, but wait a minute, you
- 11:38know, some people, if they do something wrong, they can be
- 11:41forgiven. But here's the catch, ladies and
- 11:44gentlemen. Even though it's possible that
- 11:46God can forgive people, even if they've done some of the most
- 11:50nastiest, horrible atrocities, the fact is, is that we don't
- 11:55know what's going to happen when that court date comes.
- 12:00God says according to the Bible that you're going to be
- 12:04convicted. You're going to be convicted for
- 12:06not only your faith in him or lack of sole belief in him, but
- 12:13you're also going to be judged and condemned based upon your
- 12:17works. Some of you will be rewarded for
- 12:21it. Now, I know this is going to
- 12:23send a lot of Christians into a frenzy and it's going to
- 12:26obviously cause former religious people who are now atheist to
- 12:30shit their pants. You're going to be like, wait a
- 12:33minute, I thought we're just saved by grace.
- 12:36I thought we're just simply saved by believing.
- 12:40Is that what the Bible actually says?
- 12:42Does the Bible say you can just simply believe and that's it?
- 12:47Does it not say faith without works is dead?
- 12:50Does it not say in the Book of Revelation, the very last book
- 12:53in the Bible, that you will be judged based upon your good
- 12:57works as well as your bad works? So what are good works and bad
- 13:02works? These are the actions that you
- 13:05have done as a believer or non believer, someone of another
- 13:08faith. These are the actions that
- 13:11you've committed. A lot of religious people, they
- 13:14say, well, you know, when I get up there, there's going to be
- 13:18some big high definition television where it's going to
- 13:21show all the imagery and every frame rate and everything I've
- 13:25ever done since I was born till the day I die and I'm going to
- 13:29be judged upon all these different things.
- 13:32While you're still alive, you have the ability to ask for
- 13:35forgiveness. Some people are going to say,
- 13:37why can't God just forgive me when I get there?
- 13:41Since when do you go to court and stand before a judge?
- 13:44You've already committed the crimes.
- 13:46Does he then say after everybody has every ounce of proof to show
- 13:52that you're a piece of trash? When is a judge ever going to
- 13:56logically ever say oh you're innocent go ahead don't worry no
- 14:01fines, no jail time, no nothing, not even probation.
- 14:06Get your ass out of here. You did horrible stuff but
- 14:09you're forgiven for it. You only get the opportunity to
- 14:14get forgiveness while you're still on the the damn Rd. going
- 14:19through the process of doing the crime.
- 14:21You understand, and if you did do something, you better hope
- 14:25that it's not so damn big and major that it completely
- 14:28destroys your soul or takes away years of your life if you were
- 14:32in the physical world. So let's think about this.
- 14:36If God is the Alpha, the Omega, the beginning and the end, and
- 14:40he's everywhere at all times, including different time stamps
- 14:45of existence, almost like that of a YouTube video.
- 14:48You got your time stamps. 3 minutes in, 5 minutes in.
- 14:52God's at the end of the video, at the beginning of the video.
- 14:55You could almost look at it like a script.
- 14:58If you have written yourself into the script as the bad guy
- 15:01who commits crimes and you're already convicted before the
- 15:04story even begins. Yep.
- 15:09I know. That's kind of intense to think
- 15:11about, isn't it? That's like, wow, so I'm.
- 15:14I'm a bad guy before I even do the bad thing.
- 15:17Yeah, because God already knows that you are going to make the
- 15:21choice. And the only reason why it is
- 15:23that you have this concept of free will is because you don't
- 15:27actually know what God's mind is or what he's thinking.
- 15:31It's like in your own little world and in your perception,
- 15:35you have that choice. Does that mean that it's an
- 15:38illusion? No, it doesn't mean anything
- 15:42like that. It simply means that according
- 15:45to you, you have the choice to do things, but God has the
- 15:49knowledge of what you've done. There's a difference between
- 15:53knowing something happened or is going to happen as opposed to
- 15:58actually making it happen. God knows your heart, therefore
- 16:02this is how He does it. You need to think about how God
- 16:05goes about understanding things. Is God directly inputted into
- 16:11every single move you make or every inch that you take?
- 16:16Or is it simply that God understands you so well because
- 16:19He created you? He knows what type of person
- 16:22you're going to be and He can easily prophesize or predict
- 16:26what you're going to do. How does He go about being aware
- 16:30and knowledgeable of what you do?
- 16:32That's something you need to think about.
- 16:34Perhaps you condemn yourselves. Has anybody ever thought that
- 16:40the reason why God knows that your every move and everything
- 16:43that you do is because he installed the biological
- 16:47recorder inside your body? There's an internal camera as
- 16:53well as an alarm clock inside your body that says it's time
- 16:57for your body to die and stop. That there's an internal camera
- 17:03with audio inputs that is capable of recording every
- 17:07terrible thing that you've ever imagined to do.
- 17:11And then when you die, the information is presented right
- 17:16before God. He can see it, he can hear it,
- 17:18he can taste it, he can feel it, all that.
- 17:24But I think that it's inappropriate for us to play
- 17:26along with the game of does God allow evil?
- 17:29How is that possible? If our lives only last for a
- 17:34mere second in the perception of God, because time is different
- 17:38for God, then we're already convicted at birth.
- 17:42And that's not far away from what the Bible tells us.
- 17:45Ladies and gentlemen. That's not like I'm I'm teaching
- 17:49some other religious idea here. It says that even some children
- 17:55are born evil from the womb. If you read in the book of
- 17:57Psalms as well as Isaiah, it says that we're all born with
- 18:02sin. We've been convicted between
- 18:05that and a lot of people think that's unfair, but why would you
- 18:09think it's unfair? If you were to think of it from
- 18:12God's point of view, if He is the beginning and the end and He
- 18:16has always existed, then it's obvious that you're going to be
- 18:20convicted because He knows the thoughts that are going to
- 18:23happen. Does He make it happen?
- 18:27No, you do. You actually make it happen, and
- 18:32you've recorded yourself doing so with your own eyes and your
- 18:35own soul. When you stand before him, you
- 18:39will be drenched in the blood of innocence.
- 18:41You're the one that's going to be tarnished and tainted because
- 18:46of the shit that you rolled around and then the mud you
- 18:48played in. And God is able to see that.
- 18:53It's that simple. And will you get away with it?
- 18:58Will you be able to debate your way out of what God can actually
- 19:03see within you? Can you get out of it?
- 19:07Can any lawyer step up for you whenever the entire jury and the
- 19:12entire heavens have seen what you've done?
- 19:16Your dishonesty, your lying, not only to others but to yourself,
- 19:21being a fake person, being corporate, taking advantage,
- 19:26manipulating, abusing people. You're going to bring your own
- 19:32self to God. Everything is recorded.
- 19:37That even says in the Bible that God records every single thing.
- 19:42How does he do that? Well, God is the tape deck.
- 19:47You're the tape. And that way God does not allow
- 19:52evil. You haven't gotten away with it.
- 19:56You're just speeding down the road right now, but the sirens
- 19:59are behind you. You can hear them.
- 20:02You can see the red and blue. You have not gotten away.
- 20:07You're just temporarily on your way to judgment.
