• 0:51
  Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please?
• 0:59
  The show starts in 10987654 321 go.
• 1:41
  I want it to silence my pain, but it screamed even louder.
• 1:50
  I'm falling and sinking in the blood of my own estate.
• 1:58
  I'm falling, only losing, falling and begging.
• 2:07
  Are we too far to go back? Or is this my darling, my last
• 2:20
  break in me redemption, my darling, my last break in me
• 2:30
  redemption? Do you still Remember Me or have
• 2:38
  I become a ghost in your memory? Are you too far away to hear me
• 2:43
  or have you forgotten me? I'm falling.
• 2:48
  I'm thinking Kronos and Lay. I'm falling, moving.
• 2:54
  Are we too far to go back? Or is this still my darling, my
• 3:14
  last friend, give me redemption. My darling, my last friend,
• 3:29
  where is redemption? My heart rise down for
• 4:32
  the end. Where are you?
• 4:54
  I feel the weight that's pulling
• 5:08
  me down. I whisper, but there's no one
• 5:14
  around. The silence echoes in my mind.
• 5:20
  I'm trapped inside with no way to find the light to guide me
• 5:26
  through the end. I know I can close the door if I
• 5:31
  close my eyes and ignore if I let it fade.
• 5:34
  Oh, don't close your eyes, we're
• 6:10
  almost there. Don't give up, we're almost
• 6:11
  there. The shadows grow.
• 6:12
  I stand still, but I feel something deeper will awaken in
• 6:22
  the void I see. I can close the door if I close
• 6:32
  my eyes and ignore if I let it stay, eat away if I walk.
• 6:38
  Don't walk away. Don't don't shut it.
• 6:49
  Don't. Don't close your eyes.
• 6:59
  We're almost there, We're almost there.
• 7:12
  Falling angels at my face, Voices whisper soft and wings
• 7:17
  steps has appeared. But I won't fall.
• 7:19
  I rise. I stand.
• 7:21
  I hear the call. She beckons me.
• 7:23
  Should I come down or has my hands gone?
• 7:27
  I leave behind them, don't give. The light is lost, but I won't
• 8:13
  drown. The shadows called stand firm.
• 8:19
  Through the pain I can see I won't drown.
• 9:34
  Don't let the light fade away. Almost there.
• 9:49
  Hello there everyone. Welcome to GOD TV Radio.
• 9:52
  I'm TTOR and next to me is none other than the originator, Brett
• 9:57
  Keane. Say hello, Brett.
• 9:59
  Yes, what's up everybody? I hope you're all doing OK out
• 10:04
  there. Had some people complaining that
• 10:06
  the heat's been unbelievable. Yeah, We kind of just passed
• 10:14
  through our heat wave over here in Oregon like a couple like a
• 10:18
  week ago. We had like three straight days
• 10:20
  around 100°, like high 90s, low hundreds.
• 10:23
  But then the whole last week has been like low 80s, high 70s.
• 10:28
  So it's been perfect over here. We even had a little bit of rain
• 10:32
  overnight, which was a little bit surprising for this late in
• 10:35
  the summer, but we'll take it. So I got to ask, T, if you are,
• 10:40
  do you think people are plotting against just sending you out in
• 10:43
  the heat to work all the time? Geez, I can barely get a hold of
• 10:47
  this guy anymore. They're working like a mule.
• 10:52
  Now I work in a closet. Actually, that's the joke I have
• 10:58
  at work anyway, about the size of my office because it's
• 11:00
  basically a converted closet. Goodness gracious.
• 11:05
  Like a really big closet, but a closet nonetheless.
• 11:09
  Hey, it feels like a closet once you've got your table and all
• 11:11
  your equipment set up on one side and you got your shelves
• 11:15
  and all the stuff that we store in there on the other side.
• 11:18
  And then there's a closet within the closet that has like the
• 11:20
  servers and stuff for our, like the tower for our main streaming
• 11:26
  computer. So yeah, it feels like a closet
• 11:30
  once all the stuff's in there, but I don't think the room's
• 11:32
  actually that small. So I gotta ask when you've come
• 11:37
  out of the closet and people ask you where you've been and you
• 11:40
  say, well, I come out of the closet just recently, do you get
• 11:44
  awkward looks? I probably would if I said that,
• 11:53
  yeah, that would actually make a very good skit video about me
• 11:56
  coming out of the closet and everyone's freaking out and I'm
• 11:59
  like, no, no, see, here's this closet.
• 12:00
  I just came out of there. Look at that handsome banner,
• 12:08
  yeah? It's almost like on TV, radio is
• 12:12
  on fire. Almost, almost on fire, but not
• 12:20
  really, because if it was really on fire, then we'd call the fire
• 12:22
  department. We'd have to.
• 12:25
  So what's on the menu there, gang?
• 12:29
  Well, this is Part 3 of answering your questions for
• 12:32
  Christians and in particular, we will be looking at some
• 12:36
  questions that you recently put to Smokey St. and I'm going to
• 12:42
  answer some of the same questions and perhaps more.
• 12:48
  Now, you did hear, you did hear what happened during the when I
• 12:52
  tried to ask questions for those gentlemen, right?
• 12:57
  No, I did not hear that. Well, unfortunately I had, I had
• 13:02
  had this great idea where I wanted the Christian perspective
• 13:05
  and the Muslim perspective. So we had Prophet Daniel, but
• 13:09
  unfortunately Prophet Daniel spent most of his time arguing
• 13:12
  with Smokey about his view of God as opposed to actually
• 13:16
  answering the questions himself. No hatred there.
• 13:20
  It's just said it turned into a thing where I literally was only
• 13:24
  able to ask up to four questions and that was at because it went
• 13:28
  on a tangent like that. But it still had its good
• 13:33
  moments, I suppose. But I prefer the Director Pro to
• 13:36
  what you're doing where you're just one-on-one answering to the
• 13:40
  best of your ability. I dig that.
• 13:44
  Thank you. I appreciate that.
• 13:46
  Now let me just get this there. Aha, that is better.
• 13:51
  OK, so now it looks more organized.
• 13:53
  Little bit of on the fly layout editing.
• 13:57
  Goodness gracious. Kind of tiny there, guy.
• 14:01
  Yeah, but it'll if I make it bigger, it'll cover up the whole
• 14:03
  thing. Well, isn't that what you want
• 14:06
  to do, where you only highlight the questions you're answering
• 14:09
  in the moment? You do like the page though
• 14:12
  though, right? How does people feel about the
• 14:13
  website? I've been working my tail end on
• 14:16
  that. It looks very good.
• 14:18
  You've done a lot of good work with that Blogger site you got.
• 14:22
  Yeah, I'm going to add it I'm. Going to try something else give
• 14:25
  me one second. Let me remove let me add there.
• 14:30
  Let's just do it that way. They'll just have to guess what
• 14:34
  GOD TV Radio looks like. Ha, ha.
• 14:38
  All right, so, so this is an article that you did recently
• 14:44
  called 50 Big Questions about God, Nature, Timelessness and
• 14:50
  Higher Dimensions. And we're just going to go ahead
• 14:55
  and start answering the questions because they are good
• 14:58
  questions to answer. And question #1 is how can God
• 15:05
  be all powerful if some things like a square circle seem
• 15:10
  impossible? Well, things that logically
• 15:14
  contradict themselves are things that God can't do, because God
• 15:18
  is the originator of logic, reason, and rationality.
• 15:23
  So naturally truth is not going to contradict itself.
• 15:27
  And if God is the source of all truth, that means he's not going
• 15:31
  to contradict himself in any way, shape or form, which means
• 15:35
  a square circle, which is logically impossible, cannot be
• 15:39
  done by God. That's like the question people
• 15:42
  also ask. Like can God make a rock so
• 15:45
  heavy that he can't lift it? It's like, dude, he's all
• 15:50
  powerful. He can't do that.
• 15:55
  Well technically I don't know if you ever heard my kind of joke
• 15:58
  response, but it always works on non believers.
• 16:01
  They'll say, can God make that rock?
• 16:04
  It's just so big and so heavy. Can't lift him.
• 16:06
  I say he already has, it's called.
• 16:08
  Rock'n'roll ha. Ha ha.
• 16:12
  Get it? Get it.
• 16:13
  Good one, I see exactly where you're going there.
• 16:18
  But for the people watching at home, things that are logically
• 16:21
  impossible, they're not going to be things that God does, because
• 16:26
  God is the source of all logic, so therefore he's not going to
• 16:29
  do something that contradicts objectively true logic.
• 16:34
  Now question number. You're, you're saying TTOR, that
• 16:37
  if God's going to create things or construct things, they're
• 16:40
  always going to have some kind of constraint or law set up to
• 16:43
  them and he's not going to go outside of the nature.
• 16:47
  Exactly. And since you brought up the
• 16:50
  term law, the law of cause and effect would be violated if God
• 16:54
  made a rock so heavy that he couldn't lift it.
• 16:57
  Because the law of cause and effect says that the effect must
• 17:02
  have an equal or adequate cause. So the cause can be equal to the
• 17:07
  effect. The cause can be greater than
• 17:09
  the effect, but the cause cannot be less than the effect.
• 17:14
  Therefore, if God were to make a rock so heavy that he couldn't
• 17:17
  lift it, the effect would be greater than the cause, which is
• 17:21
  God. It would violate that law.
• 17:24
  So what do you think? Do you think it would be more
• 17:26
  appropriate for Christians nowadays to say God can create
• 17:30
  whatever is logically possible as opposed to all this nonsense
• 17:35
  dilemmas they try to throw? I'd say whatever is logically
• 17:43
  whatever is consistent with his nature, and his nature is the
• 17:46
  source of logic. So yeah, I'd I'd say something
• 17:50
  to that effect. Question number.
• 17:53
  Question #2 though, is interesting because it's kind of
• 17:56
  related to something I've touched on before in one of
• 17:58
  these recent streams. Does God know every possible
• 18:02
  future or only the one that happens?
• 18:05
  Well, I believe in a stream a couple weeks ago or a few weeks
• 18:08
  back, I explained how when God looks at decisions that people
• 18:14
  make, like if they have a choice in front of them, where if they
• 18:18
  choose one thing, they'll take them down one path, if they
• 18:21
  choose the other thing, they'll take them down another path.
• 18:25
  God sees the outcomes of what will happen with each decision
• 18:30
  that you make. He's not making you choose one
• 18:33
  choice or the other. He just knows what's going to
• 18:36
  happen no matter what you choose.
• 18:39
  So you're free to choose to live however you want.
• 18:43
  But no matter what choice you make, God already knows what the
• 18:46
  outcome of that choice will be. And so when you take that and
• 18:51
  you extend it to this question, does God know every possible
• 18:55
  future? The answer is yes.
• 18:58
  Whether or not certain futures play out is dependent upon our
• 19:02
  choices. But there's not going to be a
• 19:04
  path that we go down that God's going to look at and go, huh,
• 19:08
  didn't see that one coming. That there's no, there's no
• 19:13
  tricking God or pulling the wool over his eyes or him just not
• 19:17
  recognizing how something's going to go down.
• 19:20
  He knows every possible future because he knows every possible
• 19:25
  outcome for every possible choice that we could possibly
• 19:28
  make. And when you start thinking
• 19:31
  about that just for your own life and then you start applying
• 19:34
  it to well, God does, doesn't just isn't just that way for
• 19:38
  you. He's that way for your mom, for
• 19:41
  your dad, for your sister, for your family members, for your
• 19:43
  town, for your city, for your state, for your country.
• 19:48
  I mean, once you start factoring in all the billions of people
• 19:52
  that are on the earth that this all applies to, it becomes
• 19:55
  astronomical to comprehend. It goes beyond the human brain.
• 20:00
  It's something that is truly a divine attribute that is
• 20:03
  exclusive to God. Because we cannot see the path
• 20:09
  that anyone choice will take us down.
• 20:13
  We are very limited in our view of the future.
• 20:16
  Whereas God sees it all. And just because he can see it
• 20:21
  all doesn't mean our paths are predetermined, because that's
• 20:23
  what some. Atheists and skeptics would say
• 20:26
  in response is that, well, God knows the future, therefore I
• 20:30
  must not have free will, and everything I do has been
• 20:33
  predetermined by him. It's like, no, not necessarily
• 20:37
  true. God can intervene in a situation
• 20:40
  to get you to where he wants you to go, but for the most part
• 20:44
  we're free to make our own choices.
• 20:46
  And God's not going to interfere in that choice by and large.
• 20:51
  But he knows what's going to happen when you make that
• 20:54
  choice. So even though he's not making
• 20:56
  you do anything, he knows what every possible outcome is.
• 21:02
  And that's part of being all knowing.
• 21:05
  T2 RI Hope you don't mind. As usual, I put the link out.
• 21:09
  I will let you be the one that chooses who actually comes up.
• 21:13
  I do not know the person that is in the background right now, but
• 21:18
  yeah. All right, I see father Ude in
• 21:22
  the background. I don't know if the N was left
• 21:26
  off intentionally or not, but if he can leave a comment in the
• 21:32
  private chat to identify his intentions, and if he has a
• 21:42
  webcam, please turn that on. Let's see what else we got in
• 21:47
  the comment. AFK making flatbread.
• 21:51
  I don't know what that means. I don't know.
• 21:53
  Maybe the audience. Those either.
• 21:56
  Maybe the audience can figure out what Garu Lady means.
• 22:00
  But anywho, let me get back to the questions #3 Now this is one
• 22:08
  that I have an answer to biblically for sure.
• 22:13
  Is God literally everywhere, or does God exist beyond places all
• 22:18
  together? Well, it is true that God the
• 22:22
  Father is in heaven according to Jesus, but He's also present
• 22:28
  everywhere according to Scripture.
• 22:30
  And one of the Scriptures that is most popular when proving the
• 22:35
  idea or the claim that God is omnipresent, that He's present
• 22:40
  everywhere is actually found in Psalm 139, verses 7 through 12,
• 22:48
  which says the following Where can I go from your spirit?
• 22:53
  Where can I flee from your present presence?
• 22:57
  If I go up to the heavens, you are there.
• 23:00
  If I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
• 23:02
  If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far
• 23:05
  side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me.
• 23:08
  Your right hand will hold me fast.
• 23:11
  If I say surely the darkness will hide me and the light
• 23:14
  become night around me. Even the darkness will not be
• 23:17
  dark to you. The night will shine like the
• 23:20
  day, for darkness is as light to you.
• 23:24
  And So what this passage is literally saying is that God, no
• 23:28
  matter where you go, he's there. That's omnipresence in a
• 23:33
  nutshell. So the Bible is explicitly clear
• 23:37
  that God is omnipresent in our lives.
• 23:40
  Like he is literally everywhere that every human being is.
• 23:44
  But on the flip side, he's also in heaven.
• 23:47
  And so he doesn't exactly reside in our dimension, outside our
• 23:53
  dimension exclusively, but he does there because when Jesus
• 23:57
  was on the earth in the 1st century, if you recall, he said
• 24:01
  that, and I think he said on 2 occasions that God the Father
• 24:08
  was in heaven. Obviously when he says God the
• 24:12
  Father was in heaven, it means that at that moment in time
• 24:15
  where Jesus was, he wasn't on earth because God the Son was on
• 24:21
  the earth in human form. TTOR if you don't mind me
• 24:27
  asking, because there's going to be some people who may be
• 24:30
  interested in this, What differentiates God of
• 24:34
  Christianity compared to that of pantheism?
• 24:40
  Now, pantheism is where God is the universe, right?
• 24:44
  Yeah, he's with them all things and everything, and also
• 24:48
  outside, yet somehow connected. That's usually how they go about
• 24:52
  it. It looks like our father, UD
• 24:54
  Guy, decided to show himself on camera.
• 24:58
  It's up to you if you want to throw an overlay for a moment
• 25:01
  just to get to know him. Yeah, I think we need to put up
• 25:06
  the vetting screen. OK, so Father UD, you are an
• 25:12
  Episcot Episcopal brother. Yes Sir.
• 25:18
  A priest dude is a type of incense.
• 25:21
  It means wood in Arabic. Are you from the Middle East or
• 25:24
  you just like that? No, I just love the scent.
• 25:27
  I I enjoy that kind of stuff in my prayer to light up a little
• 25:31
  bit of incense. It's a Episcopal Church, is very
• 25:34
  similar to Catholicism, so we enjoy a little bit of ritual in
• 25:38
  our work. I see.
• 25:41
  Yeah, fatherhood, please. Please forgive my son.
• 25:45
  He just woke up. He's all right.
• 25:47
  It's OK, buddy. Sorry.
• 25:48
  Continue. Fatherhood.
• 25:50
  I think I checked out your YouTube channel a while back.
• 25:53
  Were you the one that did the mention?
• 25:56
  Yeah, I was interested in talking to you.
• 25:58
  I've been interested in talking to you for a while just because
• 26:00
  you have a lot of interesting ideas about God and I, I, I
• 26:05
  don't know, I being I'm interested mostly in being an
• 26:09
  Episcopal because I do believe that we both have a Protestant
• 26:12
  ideology. Mine happens to be like you
• 26:16
  said, in universalism. I do believe that God is in all
• 26:19
  things at all times because of the name Yahweh being I am who
• 26:23
  is. When you break up Yahweh, have a
• 26:26
  the letters in. When you break up those letters
• 26:30
  in the original Hebrew, those letters symbolize all the
• 26:34
  elements. And I know that sounds a little
• 26:36
  bit Pagan, but it is true. Those letters do symbolize the
• 26:42
  elements. And I believe that that was kind
• 26:44
  of our Father's way of saying I am in all things.
• 26:50
  All right, I got to be honest with you.
• 26:52
  When I first checked out your channel, I, I didn't know what I
• 26:55
  was looking at. There appeared to be a bunch of
• 26:58
  shorts with the what appeared to be an avatar of a.
• 27:02
  Guy, I really just started, so I don't know what I'm doing, but
• 27:05
  I'm working on it. I mean, I'm mostly working on
• 27:07
  what. What I'm trying to what I'm
• 27:08
  trying to explain to you is it appeared on the surface as a
• 27:12
  troll channel because I'm watching a guy avatar speaking a
• 27:16
  woman's voice. I thought I was looking at the
• 27:18
  transgender channel. Well, not quite.
• 27:22
  Not quite, I promise. All right, well, you should May
• 27:29
  I, may I suggest that you do a couple videos about your
• 27:33
  theology and views. That way people don't go to your
• 27:35
  channel and think, oh, oh, what are we dealing with here kind of
• 27:39
  thing. Because it really I, I am.
• 27:41
  I'm being honest with you. You seem like a really cool guy
• 27:44
  and I'm glad you're here, but your channel throws off this
• 27:48
  kind of troll vibe to it. I have to work on it.
• 27:51
  I'm really going to have to work on it because I've never really
• 27:53
  messed with YouTube. I'm more of an in person guy.
• 27:55
  I mean, my church is very simple.
• 27:58
  I mean, it's the basic mass, but we really do get involved in the
• 28:01
  community. And that's my favorite part is
• 28:04
  really when you get to, even when I have crisis of faith,
• 28:07
  which I will be honest, I do, there's times where I like to
• 28:10
  refer to myself as Jesus, as stray cat because I always think
• 28:13
  that I have my own way, but I end up finding myself at his
• 28:16
  feet no matter what. You know what I mean?
• 28:19
  Right. And I appreciate your
• 28:21
  intellectual honesty on that. I, I need to point something out
• 28:25
  for you. I don't know how long you've
• 28:26
  watched my shows and all that. Right now we're doing a show
• 28:30
  that is hosted by TTOR. Sometimes I do shows where I
• 28:34
  host and then I kind of let everybody come in and we have
• 28:37
  discussions and all that. But I think that TTOR's plan
• 28:40
  tonight was to try to if. If you want me to step out,
• 28:43
  that's not a problem. At all.
• 28:44
  No, no, no, you, you don't have to do that.
• 28:46
  I'm just letting you know what the format is tonight is going
• 28:49
  to be answering some questions I have on my website.
• 28:53
  May I suggest for you that when you do some videos in the
• 28:56
  future, if you go to my website, I have tons of questions that
• 29:00
  you may find interesting that you'd like to attempt to answer
• 29:04
  when making videos and then. That'd be great.
• 29:07
  That's a really good idea. I could probably touch on that
• 29:10
  to try and inspire just some, you know.
• 29:14
  Oh, trust me, I'll get to go ahead, DPY.
• 29:19
  I just put the link in the descript in the private chat to
• 29:23
  the questions article I'm reading from, so that way you
• 29:26
  can have it for yourself to make your own content.
• 29:31
  I will attempt to answer the next question and then we will
• 29:34
  let father Ude see how he does off the cuff.
• 29:39
  We'll try. But I do need an.
• 29:41
  I do need some more explanation though on question 4, which is
• 29:45
  can God stay the same forever and still respond to the world?
• 29:49
  I'm not understanding Brett, what exactly that's asking.
• 29:53
  Could you elaborate on that more?
• 29:55
  Well, you've probably heard a lot, especially in Christianity
• 29:58
  and Islam. The claim is that God is not
• 30:01
  changeable. And a lot of people ask the
• 30:04
  question, does that mean that's his personality, his nature?
• 30:08
  Or does he simply in all facets don't change?
• 30:13
  And you got to understand if God is non changing then that could
• 30:17
  also limit how he decides to actually interact with humanity
• 30:22
  depending on the course. Does that make more sense for
• 30:25
  you? So is the question asking if he
• 30:30
  responded to the world too much that it would somehow change
• 30:33
  him? Is that what the questions
• 30:36
  hinting at as a possibility? Well, in my, in my theory, in my
• 30:40
  own personal view, if God were to come down right now and sit,
• 30:45
  perch himself from the tallest building and make himself known
• 30:49
  to everybody, I, I think that it would literally change the way
• 30:53
  we perceive free will because we'd always see him, we'd always
• 30:57
  hear him. And criminals, of course, would
• 30:59
  be afraid to do anything wrong because they can see him right
• 31:02
  there. You know what I mean?
• 31:04
  So I think it would affect free will in a huge way, do you
• 31:08
  think? Well, I think in that context, I
• 31:15
  think God actually making himself known in a way everyone
• 31:18
  can see him. Surprise, surprise will not
• 31:21
  actually determine a lot of people's direction in life.
• 31:24
  They will actually still reject him.
• 31:27
  I mean, you've seen many an atheist on the Internet
• 31:29
  overtime, Brett, as if I who have said that even if we could
• 31:33
  prove to them that the God of the Bible exists and that
• 31:36
  everything the Bible teaches is true, they still would not
• 31:39
  believe and they still would not submit and they would rather go
• 31:42
  to hell. Say that if they seen God to
• 31:47
  kick him square in the nuts. I've heard all kinds of claims
• 31:50
  by atheist but let's let's be honest TTOR if an atheist
• 31:54
  actually seen God or even some Christians who are having issue.
• 31:59
  The truth is the reality is they poop their damn pants.
• 32:02
  They wouldn't talk tough or act crazy in front of an almighty
• 32:06
  God that's standing before them. Let's be honest just about it,
• 32:09
  right? I mean, they talk on the
• 32:11
  Internet, but in real life they would piss their pants.
• 32:15
  We know that. Well, that is true to an extent,
• 32:18
  especially with the cowards. But you got to remember though,
• 32:22
  in the Book of Revelation, in the end times, Jesus comes back
• 32:25
  with his army of angels, conquers the beast system,
• 32:29
  destroys their little Kingdom, establishes his Kingdom.
• 32:32
  There's the thousand years of peace, but then what happens?
• 32:36
  The gates to Hades where Satan and everyone who's not part of
• 32:40
  the Kingdom is, which is most of humanity.
• 32:43
  They're allowed to come out and their first thing to do is to
• 32:47
  rally around Satan and rebel against God.
• 32:50
  God is literally there in their presence of his own Kingdom
• 32:53
  established. He's destroyed them all already
• 32:57
  1000 years earlier, but they're still willing to rebel against
• 33:01
  God even in that situation. So while it's partially while
• 33:06
  it's partially true what you're saying, there are some people
• 33:09
  who talk tough about what rebels against God they would be until
• 33:12
  they actually come face to face with him.
• 33:15
  Some people would have a much different tune if they did.
• 33:19
  But generally speaking, we know from what the Bible says about
• 33:23
  the end times, most people in the end will choose to rebel
• 33:27
  against God even after he's established his Kingdom on earth
• 33:30
  and has been around us for 1000 years.
• 33:33
  So I don't think God changes by responding to or interacting
• 33:38
  with the world, but I also thank people in general that don't
• 33:42
  really change all that much either from his direct
• 33:44
  intervention. I mean, his direct intervention
• 33:47
  is powerful and it does have an effect that lasts forever, but
• 33:51
  getting people to not rebel against him is not necessarily
• 33:56
  one of those effects. Well, I got to say TTOR, you
• 34:00
  absolutely have made 100% accurate point.
• 34:04
  I did not think of that TTOR, but you are absolutely correct.
• 34:08
  There are going to be people no matter what God does, they're
• 34:11
  going to continue to be jackasses.
• 34:13
  So I I have to you have corrected me brother.
• 34:17
  Thank you. You're welcome and I I don't do
• 34:21
  it so much as a correction is just a giving you some
• 34:24
  additional information because you have to really think wow
• 34:28
  someone in that scenario where God has been present for 1000
• 34:33
  years on earth, you can literally see his Kingdom right
• 34:35
  over there and you still are like middle finger.
• 34:39
  I hate you. I'd rather die.
• 34:42
  That's just mind baffling to me, but it's insane.
• 34:48
  It's insane to think that no matter what God does, there's
• 34:52
  going to be some people who will continue to do that.
• 34:55
  It's like being in the ring with Mike Tyson and actually thinking
• 34:58
  that you have a chance. Right.
• 35:05
  What does Father who think about question #4 Can God stay the
• 35:09
  same forever and still respond to the world?
• 35:12
  My, my thought process on that is that we have to realize that
• 35:16
  our God is when we say I'm the president, to me, I believe that
• 35:21
  God is beyond time. I believe that God is unchanging
• 35:24
  because I, when you say I am the alpha in the Omega, he didn't
• 35:30
  say I'm the Omega later. You know what I mean?
• 35:32
  He's the Omega right now. So for me, I don't think God
• 35:35
  changes because I don't think that he is at the whim of the
• 35:38
  same reality that we are in a sense, I don't know.
• 35:43
  I don't know if that sounds odd to say reality.
• 35:45
  I just mean in the sense, I don't think that he's at the
• 35:47
  whim of aging or time or just how we perceive nature.
• 35:52
  I think that he, I, in my mind, I, I just, I believe that God
• 35:56
  might see, even though we are created in his image, I do
• 35:59
  believe that. I mean, it's kind of obvious to
• 36:03
  say he has power that we don't. I believe he sees what we don't.
• 36:06
  And I, I think that that if to say he doesn't change, I think
• 36:10
  it's because he's always going to be him.
• 36:12
  You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, that is totally
• 36:17
  true. And we have a whole record
• 36:19
  called the Bible that shows all the times that God has
• 36:22
  intervened in people's lives and made basically change their
• 36:26
  future, gave them a nation. You see, in the Old Testament
• 36:29
  especially, even after everything God did for them to
• 36:32
  get them out of Egypt and through the wilderness into the
• 36:36
  promised land, helping the Canaanites.
• 36:39
  And still they rebelled against God so hard that they demanded
• 36:43
  to have a human king because in their own words, they wanted to
• 36:47
  be like everyone else instead of, you know, being unique and
• 36:53
  set apart and serving God. I think people have trouble
• 36:58
  because faith isn't always easy. It's not.
• 37:00
  We all know it's not Peaches and cream.
• 37:02
  We've all been tested and I think that if we look at stuff
• 37:06
  like I think I, my, my mother always said when things were
• 37:10
  going wrong, book a job, book a job, it's all, you know what I
• 37:13
  mean. So like, I think about that a
• 37:16
  lot in the sense of sometimes I think people stray from God
• 37:19
  because they can't handle the demands of his of, of the work,
• 37:26
  because you're called to do something.
• 37:28
  You're not just called to say hi, God, you're great.
• 37:31
  You're called to walk the path of Christ.
• 37:33
  That's what being a Christian is.
• 37:36
  Yeah, we're given a path to follow.
• 37:38
  Most of the time. Worshipping is like the bare
• 37:41
  minimum. Actually going down a going down
• 37:44
  a path he's called you down is something that's a lot harder
• 37:48
  because it's a day-to-day thing and you have to make that
• 37:50
  commitment every day. That's one of the reasons why I
• 37:54
  appreciate Brett's music so much because my first priest when I
• 37:57
  was a Catholic used to say that that song is to pray twice.
• 38:02
  And I I don't know exactly what he meant by that, but there's an
• 38:04
  added effort effort. Excuse me in creating of this is
• 38:09
  a tangent. I'll I'll keep it light in
• 38:11
  creating music that it's like an extra prayer, but that's neither
• 38:14
  here nor there. I will keep that in mind.
• 38:19
  Question #5 is God a person who thinks and feels or more like a
• 38:25
  universal force? Well, I think it's pretty
• 38:29
  obvious from the Bible that God feels and thinks because there's
• 38:34
  many times in the book of Isaiah that He's calling us to reason
• 38:38
  together with him because, oops, there we go.
• 38:42
  Because He wants us to accept the truth and because He's the
• 38:45
  source of all logic and reason, naturally he would call us to
• 38:49
  reason with him. As we see in Jesus's ministry in
• 38:53
  the Gospels, Jesus on more than one occasion, whether it be when
• 38:57
  talking to his own disciples or talking to his own critics and
• 39:00
  enemies, he would tell people to believe what He's saying based
• 39:04
  on the evidence he was providing and not the fields.
• 39:09
  But when it comes to God thinking and feeling like a
• 39:11
  personal being, we have our best examples actually in the
• 39:16
  passages in the Old and New Testament that talk about God's
• 39:20
  desire for us to repent, because I think they're the best
• 39:24
  examples I could think of on the fly of God's desire for us to
• 39:30
  get right with him. It definitely shows a lot of
• 39:34
  feeling. You've touched on a lot there.
• 39:37
  I think that for me with that question, when you look at just
• 39:41
  Christ flipping tables, I mean, he had, he had emotion, you know
• 39:46
  what I mean? And when you also talk about I
• 39:49
  am a jealous God, you know what I mean?
• 39:51
  Stuff like that kind of tends to make me feel as though there's
• 39:55
  certainly an emotion behind the power.
• 40:00
  Yeah. Now in Ezekiel chapter 18,
• 40:04
  verses one through 20, we basically have God talking about
• 40:07
  how the sins of the father are not basically taken out on the
• 40:12
  sons. The one who sins is the one who
• 40:13
  will die. But when you start in verse 21
• 40:16
  and you read through the end of the chapter, it takes a much
• 40:19
  different turn. This is where God says, But if a
• 40:23
  wicked person turns away from all the sins they have
• 40:26
  committed, and keeps all my decrees and does, what is Justin
• 40:29
  right, That person will surely live.
• 40:32
  They will not die. None of the offenses they have
• 40:35
  committed will be remembered against them because of the
• 40:38
  righteous things they have done. They will live.
• 40:41
  Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked?
• 40:44
  Declares the sovereign Lord? Rather am I not pleased when
• 40:48
  they turn from their wicked, turn from their ways, and live.
• 40:52
  But if a righteous person turns from their righteousness and
• 40:55
  commits sin, and does the same detestable things the wicked
• 40:57
  person does, will they live? None of the righteous things
• 41:01
  that person has done will be remembered because of the
• 41:04
  unfaithfulness they are guilty of and because of the sins they
• 41:06
  have committed, they will die. Yet you say the way of the Lord
• 41:11
  is not just here, You Israelites, is my way unjust?
• 41:16
  Is it not your ways that are unjust?
• 41:19
  If a righteous person turns from their righteousness and commits
• 41:21
  sin, they will die for it. Because of the sin they have
• 41:23
  committed, they will die. But if a wicked person turns
• 41:27
  away from the wickedness they have committed and does what is
• 41:30
  just and right, they will save their life because they consider
• 41:34
  all the offenses they have committed and turn away from
• 41:37
  them. That person will surely live.
• 41:39
  They will not die. Yet the Israelites say the way
• 41:43
  of the Lord is not just. Are my ways unjust?
• 41:46
  People of Israel, is it not your ways that are unjust?
• 41:49
  Therefore, you Israelites, I will judge each of you according
• 41:52
  to your own ways, Declares the Sovereign Lord.
• 41:55
  Repent. Turn away from all your
• 41:58
  offenses, Then sin will not be your downfall.
• 42:00
  Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed and
• 42:03
  get a new heart and a new spirit.
• 42:05
  Why will you die, people of Israel, for I take no pleasure
• 42:09
  in the death of anyone, Declares the Sovereign Lord.
• 42:12
  Repent and live. So in that passage we see more
• 42:15
  than once God say that he takes no pleasure in the death of the
• 42:20
  wicked. He takes no pleasure in the
• 42:22
  death of anyone. But then he also in verse 23
• 42:26
  turns right around and says that he is pleased when they turn
• 42:31
  from their ways and live. So God does feel pleasure,
• 42:36
  pleasure from people getting into right relationship with Him
• 42:40
  because it's the best thing for them.
• 42:43
  And when you get into right relationship with God, as we
• 42:46
  know from both the old and the New Testaments, God can forgive
• 42:51
  you of your sins through Jesus sacrifice on the cross.
• 42:55
  It's literally the payment for your sin Ledger for your
• 42:59
  criminal rap sheet with God basically.
• 43:01
  And so once you have submitted to God in repentance, then that
• 43:06
  sacrifice applies to you and then you're saved.
• 43:11
  You're in a personal saving relationship with God.
• 43:13
  And now you're at that point where it's all about
• 43:15
  sanctification until death. But the God definitely feels
• 43:21
  things and thinks things through, as we can see in this
• 43:24
  passage. But then there's the second
• 43:27
  Peter 3 passage which is much shorter but equally as powerful,
• 43:32
  which I will limit it to chapter 3, verses 8 through 9.
• 43:39
  But do not forget this one thing, dear friends with the
• 43:42
  Lord, a day is like 1000 years and 1000 years are like a day.
• 43:46
  The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand
• 43:50
  slowness. Instead, He is patient with you,
• 43:53
  not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to
• 43:57
  repentance. So we have here in this passage,
• 44:01
  contextually speaking, Peter had just finished writing about how
• 44:07
  scoffers would come in the last days, scoffing and following
• 44:10
  their own evil desires. And that they would question,
• 44:13
  you know, when God's second coming is and claim that
• 44:17
  everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation,
• 44:21
  Which I'm trying to remember what the scientific term for
• 44:24
  that is, but it's not coming to my head.
• 44:28
  And then talks about how people deliberately forget that God
• 44:32
  destroyed the world through the flood of Noah and that the flood
• 44:36
  of Noah would not happen again, but that the present heavens and
• 44:40
  earth would be destroyed by fire.
• 44:41
  And then in that context, he points out that God is patient
• 44:46
  with us because like we saw in Ezekiel, God doesn't want anyone
• 44:50
  to perish. He wants everyone to come to
• 44:53
  repentance, which means he would be pleased if you come to
• 44:57
  repentance. So once again, we have God
• 45:00
  feeling here in a way that matters a lot.
• 45:04
  It's not just that he gets angry at you when you sin, He gets
• 45:08
  angry at you when you sin because it's literally a crime
• 45:11
  you're committing against him. And it's also not the best thing
• 45:14
  for you. But when you repent and get
• 45:17
  right with God, then he feels pleasure from that because it's
• 45:21
  the best thing for us. Hopefully the viewing audience
• 45:25
  is understanding what I'm saying.
• 45:28
  What does Father Ood and Brett think about this question?
• 45:35
  I think Brett should go first. I'm sorry, I'm having a little
• 45:43
  bit of delay on that. Which are we?
• 45:47
  I went to the restroom just a moment ago.
• 45:50
  Repeat and summary. We are answering the question of
• 45:55
  is God a person who thinks and feels or more like a universal?
• 45:59
  Thought Oh yes, the emotional question.
• 46:01
  Sorry about that. Yes, God shows anger, God shows
• 46:04
  wrath. God shows joy.
• 46:08
  He shows that he can be pleased whenever he served properly.
• 46:13
  He shows in many, many different facets that he has emotions and
• 46:17
  revelations. There's many almost every other
• 46:20
  passage that shows his reaction and his feelings and emotions
• 46:26
  towards what he's doing while bringing the process of
• 46:29
  judgement forward, of course. Yeah, it's a good answer.
• 46:35
  I know you answered partially early on fatherhood.
• 46:38
  Is there any more you want to have?
• 46:39
  Question 5. I mean, I can, I can sum it up
• 46:42
  as saying that I do believe that God has emotion.
• 46:45
  I also believe that he is a universal force.
• 46:48
  It's a, it's a strange thing because I think it's a little,
• 46:51
  it's a little column, a little column because we can't say that
• 46:54
  God doesn't use our language and the emotions that were given to
• 46:59
  explain things to us. I guess my point is there's so
• 47:02
  much to him that we don't know because of how great he is that
• 47:06
  I can't that one I'm going to have to pick at.
• 47:12
  OK, with that being said, let's go into question number six.
• 47:18
  If God is good, why do bad things such as suffering exist?
• 47:23
  Well, when you get beyond the emotion that usually comes with
• 47:27
  asking that question, which most people who ask that question use
• 47:32
  that as an excuse to reject God, you see some logical things that
• 47:37
  stand out. For example, claiming that bad
• 47:40
  things are real, as in objectively bad or objectively
• 47:46
  evil. Well, if there's such things
• 47:48
  there, if there's such a thing as something being objectively
• 47:52
  bad or being objectively evil, that stands to reason that there
• 47:58
  also must be things that are objectively good.
• 48:02
  And when we talk about objective, we're not talking
• 48:05
  about things that people agree upon.
• 48:07
  We're talking about things that are true outside of what the
• 48:11
  human mind thinks. So it's true even if all of
• 48:16
  humanity says it's not. That's what we mean by objective
• 48:20
  truth. It's something that's not
• 48:22
  determined by the human mind. And when you look at things like
• 48:27
  bad things, suffering, you know, diseases and death, if those are
• 48:34
  objectively bad, then there must be objective good.
• 48:38
  And that's where God comes in. Because when you read the Bible,
• 48:42
  you see that God is not the one who put the suffering in the
• 48:46
  world. We did it through our own
• 48:49
  actions, our own rebellion, our own sin.
• 48:52
  Adam and Eve did it first, but we inherited that sin nature,
• 48:57
  and in the course of all of our lives, at one point or another,
• 49:02
  or a lot of points, we have sinned too.
• 49:06
  So we are actually responsible for the suffering that exists in
• 49:11
  the world. And by we, I mean the human race
• 49:14
  is a collective because most of the suffering that exists in the
• 49:18
  world today is a result of either what we would call
• 49:24
  natural disasters or just really bad conditions when it comes to
• 49:29
  people care, like poverty and homelessness and stuff like
• 49:34
  that. Or in the case of third world
• 49:36
  countries where dictators run everything, well, the suffering
• 49:40
  in those countries is mostly caused by humans who are in
• 49:44
  power. So yeah, if we're going to talk
• 49:49
  about all those things, if we're going to talk about how
• 49:52
  suffering exists, and then we have to eventually conclude that
• 49:55
  we are the ones that did it to ourselves.
• 49:58
  We bear most of the responsibility for the suffering
• 50:01
  that exists in the world, and God is not responsible for any
• 50:06
  of our decisions. But you know, of course atheists
• 50:10
  and evolutionists will do their best to try and pin it all on
• 50:13
  God, portraying him as an evil moral monster who is just so
• 50:18
  wicked and rotten that he dared to punish the Canaanites for all
• 50:22
  those horrible things they did. Yeah, right over there.
• 50:30
  Father UD, are you OK? We heard some kind of
• 50:33
  scrunching. He might be having an Internet
• 50:40
  issue. All right.
• 50:45
  Can you wave at us, Father UD? I'm going to try removing and
• 50:53
  adding. It looks like his camera froze.
• 50:56
  It looks like he positioned himself differently and he might
• 50:59
  have messed up his camera. We can put him off stage and
• 51:03
  then when moving again, we'll continue on.
• 51:07
  Were you wanting to respond more?
• 51:09
  And if you are interested so people don't yell at you about
• 51:13
  this, remember last time people were like, is Brett Keene?
• 51:17
  Does he answer his own questions?
• 51:19
  If you want me to participate, I'll be more than happy to.
• 51:22
  But if you want to get through the questions, that's fine as
• 51:25
  well. Well, since you and I are here
• 51:28
  at the moment, Brett, and I know you've talked about this many of
• 51:31
  times over the course of your Internet career, but what are
• 51:35
  your general thoughts on suffering existing and how that
• 51:39
  pertains to whether or not God is good?
• 51:43
  So I believe that on a scientific type of level, we
• 51:48
  were given the ability to be able to feel joy and happiness,
• 51:52
  love, peace, contentment, and all kinds of really, really
• 51:56
  great, wonderful feelings. But unfortunately, those
• 52:00
  feelings work the same way in the spectrum because what's
• 52:03
  happening is, is when we take damage or something feels good
• 52:08
  to us, it sends signals to our brain letting us know if
• 52:11
  something is good or bad. I believe, I believe it's all
• 52:14
  the process of free will. Although there is love and you
• 52:17
  can feel that, you can also feel what it.
• 52:21
  The same signals will tell you the information that my heart
• 52:25
  was broken, I've been abandoned, I've been neglected, I've had
• 52:29
  this happen. But if you think about it,
• 52:31
  ladies and gentlemen, 80% to 90% of pain and suffering that
• 52:36
  happens in this world is whenever your loved ones or
• 52:39
  strangers do things to you. Had they followed what Jesus
• 52:43
  tells them to do and do unto others as they want done unto
• 52:46
  themself, there wouldn't be a majority of suffering in the
• 52:50
  world. And then there'd be left with
• 52:53
  just nature. And what happens, The process of
• 52:55
  life and death and death is simply a transition to God.
• 53:00
  It's a doorway to take you to God.
• 53:02
  It's not meant to be a horrible experience for you folks.
• 53:09
  That is a great answer Brett and that's going to be well
• 53:13
  received, I think by the viewing audience after the fact and
• 53:16
  during I have fathers Internet drop.
• 53:22
  OK, So the next question on our docket is can we understand God
• 53:32
  just by thinking or do we need spiritual guidance?
• 53:37
  Now, when I see that question, I immediately think of the people
• 53:43
  who were like, we don't need the Bible to understand God, we just
• 53:47
  need to follow the Spirit. And when I think of that, I
• 53:52
  think, well, there's some problems that come with that.
• 53:57
  So I think the answer to the question is that we understand
• 54:01
  God through spiritual guidance that He provides us through His
• 54:07
  written word, the Bible. What I generally find is that
• 54:12
  when you make an effort to understand what the Bible says,
• 54:17
  teaches, records, then that will make you an excellent filter to
• 54:23
  filter through the different voices that are telling you
• 54:26
  things in your head. And when I say voices, I don't
• 54:28
  mean your own voices or voice. I mean the spirits that put
• 54:33
  thoughts in your head. Thoughts that might seem to line
• 54:37
  up with what God says or might outright contradict what God
• 54:40
  says, but is presented in a like polite, loving manner.
• 54:47
  I think the thing about knowing your Bible is when you know your
• 54:50
  Bible, you know what's objectively true based on God's
• 54:54
  revealed written word. And then that helps you filter
• 54:58
  through these other things that you're thinking.
• 55:00
  They're like, OK, that lines up with the Bible.
• 55:02
  I, I guess it's OK to entertain that thought.
• 55:05
  Oh no, no, that is completely contrary to the Bible.
• 55:08
  I am not going to entertain that thought.
• 55:10
  That process becomes a lot easier when you know your Bible
• 55:13
  because then you're not as swayed and pulled by emotional
• 55:17
  stuff regarding those thoughts. But I've also seen the opposite.
• 55:22
  When people are biblically ignorant, they don't know what
• 55:25
  the Bible says, teaches, or records, and then they have all
• 55:28
  that stuff going on. Well, it's like what the
• 55:30
  Scripture says. They're just pulled to and fro.
• 55:33
  They're just pulled every which way, you know, and they're not
• 55:37
  able to stand on God's Word because they don't know it.
• 55:41
  And they just get pulled around by all this stuff and it causes
• 55:44
  all kinds of heartache and all kinds of spiritual duress, I
• 55:49
  guess would be the phrase for that.
• 55:53
  You know, TTOR, this is one of the this is one of the questions
• 55:57
  that really impacts me personally because I ran into a
• 56:01
  lot of Christians back whenever I was a former non believer
• 56:04
  where I would have debates and discussions.
• 56:07
  And I don't know if you remember one of the first questions I
• 56:09
  used to ask Christians. Do you remember?
• 56:13
  No, I don't. And people would look at me
• 56:16
  crazy for asking this, but I before I even got into a
• 56:19
  discussion with them, my question was, have you actually
• 56:23
  read the Bible cover to cover? I would directly ask any
• 56:27
  question whether I was out in public or if I was getting ready
• 56:31
  to do something on a video. And a lot of them admitted,
• 56:34
  well, I've skimmed through it. I've read the important passages
• 56:38
  and I said, how do you know that the passages that you didn't
• 56:42
  read weren't important or relevant as well?
• 56:45
  And it put me in a position where I, I felt like if you
• 56:50
  believe this is the word of God, but you haven't taken the time
• 56:53
  and all your years to actually read this or care about it, then
• 56:57
  how can you convince me that you were ever interested in a
• 57:00
  relationship with God when you don't want to get to know him or
• 57:04
  what he's trying to say? And it would be pretty much
• 57:08
  trickling down where the religious person would destroy
• 57:10
  themselves in the debate. A person who's well has a good
• 57:16
  foundation like yourself, TTR, would never fall into those kind
• 57:20
  of traps because you actually care about what you believe in
• 57:23
  and you've taken the time to read it.
• 57:25
  Does that make sense? Yeah, that makes sense to me.
• 57:28
  It's totally accurate. Now that father Ude has
• 57:33
  returned. The question I just answered and
• 57:36
  that Brett just answered was can we understand God by just
• 57:41
  thinking or do we need spiritual guidance?
• 57:45
  I want to do one thing real quick about suffering and then
• 57:48
  I'll go on to this one. I believe the suffering is a
• 57:50
  great teacher and that unfortunately it's part of life
• 57:53
  because we need to learn. And I also believe that we have
• 57:58
  to remember that we're talking about eternity with God and that
• 58:02
  unfortunately the life is hard. What do you got 80 years of suck
• 58:06
  and then an eternity with the Father.
• 58:09
  So unfortunately suffering is is is part of the learning process.
• 58:14
  Beyond that, when it comes to spiritual guidance or doing it
• 58:17
  yourself, I honestly think that we have with free will,
• 58:20
  individual relationships with God because you've got people
• 58:22
  who go to the Catholic Church that wouldn't touch the Bible
• 58:25
  because there's a belief that, you know, the, the priest is the
• 58:29
  one who's supposed to give it to you.
• 58:30
  In my faith, we do say, Hey, read the Bible because we don't
• 58:34
  really do that. We're promised into a degree,
• 58:37
  but I, I do believe that it's on an individual level.
• 58:42
  I, I think that as you read the word you do, it doesn't part to
• 58:47
  you spiritual guidance by nature, especially when you get
• 58:50
  to Romans 12 and you start to see stuff like knowing in your
• 58:56
  heart the right thing because you've got God in your heart.
• 58:59
  I think that that would say that as you're learning and as you
• 59:03
  become closer with God, you do get a, a little bit of a tap on
• 59:10
  the shoulder. How about I put it that way?
• 59:14
  OK that's a way to put it for sure.
• 59:17
  Boy someone should make a video game of the Bible and every
• 59:22
  aspect of it like a 500 hour video game.
• 59:28
  It's gonna be real boring when you hit Paul.
• 59:32
  Oh boy. Yeah.
• 59:33
  Well, that, yeah, that's actually a good point because
• 59:37
  only some parts of the Bible are exciting in that way.
• 59:40
  Like, you know, the story of Samson or King David's life or,
• 59:45
  you know, the flood of Noah or Genesis, you know, the early
• 59:48
  parts of Genesis, you know, Jesus's ministry.
• 59:51
  But yeah, then there are parts that are, well, less exciting
• 59:55
  because they're not historical narratives.
• 59:57
  You know, the Psalms, the Proverbs.
• 1:00:00
  Pretty much. Well, most of the prophets
• 1:00:03
  letters in the Old Testament. And then, like you were saying,
• 1:00:06
  Paul's letters, yeah, there's parts of the Bible that would
• 1:00:11
  not translate well to a video game because they're literally
• 1:00:13
  just letters that people wrote. Well, not every not every video
• 1:00:20
  games got to be an action, you know, FPS shooter or anything
• 1:00:24
  like that. It could be something where it's
• 1:00:26
  like a educational thing where you're a time traveler that goes
• 1:00:31
  back in time and you meet all the figures and, and they teach
• 1:00:34
  you about things and about why they did the things they did.
• 1:00:37
  That kind of stuff more of a historical educational type of
• 1:00:41
  game that would work. But if you're looking for Rambo
• 1:00:44
  Meets the Predator, I'm sorry, not going to happen.
• 1:00:48
  Honestly, Brett, with the way with the way technology is
• 1:00:51
  going, I think we're talking about an inevitability.
• 1:00:53
  I mean, you're going to have a time where learning the Bible is
• 1:00:56
  strapping on AVR set that regardless of how creepy that
• 1:00:59
  sounds, I wonder how that would work out.
• 1:01:01
  But I do think that what you're bringing up here is something
• 1:01:05
  that maybe I'm not super into, but I do think might happen
• 1:01:08
  regardless. You believe that AI is going to
• 1:01:13
  play a part in religion. Well, believe it or not, me and
• 1:01:16
  TTOR, we, we've talked about this quite a bit and it already
• 1:01:20
  seems to be having a major impact.
• 1:01:23
  Remember, TTOR was telling you that there's actually some
• 1:01:26
  preachers out there that are using AI in order to help, how
• 1:01:31
  shall I say, revise their sermons and all that kind of
• 1:01:34
  stuff to give them better ideas to talk about.
• 1:01:37
  But it comes off like you said, TTR, you were right about this.
• 1:01:42
  Is it authentic or are they just using it to cut a few shortcuts?
• 1:01:47
  You know what I mean? Right, like how in schools they
• 1:01:49
  use the AI to write the whole papers so that way they can
• 1:01:53
  spend more time playing video games or going to parties or
• 1:01:56
  whatever. Yeah, I don't know how.
• 1:01:58
  I don't know how I feel about AI in my sermon.
• 1:02:00
  It feels a little dirty. There's something about it just
• 1:02:03
  doesn't sit right. Well using AI as a study tool
• 1:02:06
  can be helpful because it processes information so fast
• 1:02:11
  and has access to a lot, but you should always Fact Check it and
• 1:02:16
  only use it as a supplemental tool versus a primary
• 1:02:20
  information gatherer. Well, there, there is some,
• 1:02:24
  there is some good positive things that you can do with it,
• 1:02:27
  especially if you're a preacher where you're getting old and age
• 1:02:30
  and all that and your memory isn't what it was.
• 1:02:33
  You could say, can you display 25 incidences where Jesus Christ
• 1:02:41
  showed compassion or God of the Old Testament in comparison,
• 1:02:45
  things like that and and the thing can get you what you need
• 1:02:48
  in less than 30 seconds flat. If you're having issues, if you
• 1:02:53
  become older or you're, you know, your body starting to
• 1:02:56
  break down, brain ain't working as sharp as it used to be.
• 1:03:01
  Yeah, I could see where that would be helpful.
• 1:03:03
  Yeah, totally. Of course then there was that
• 1:03:07
  video I did recently that I don't know that father who has
• 1:03:10
  seen about where I asked Grok and copilot and ChatGPT to
• 1:03:20
  compare young and older of creationism together and see
• 1:03:23
  which one lines up with the Bible more.
• 1:03:26
  And they all the AI said it was young Earth creationism and that
• 1:03:30
  made Smokey Sanko on that wildtangent for a couple weeks.
• 1:03:35
  Well, TTR and myself, I thought your video was fascinating and I
• 1:03:40
  actually went on to copilot privately and all that and, and
• 1:03:43
  ask it. And it's true.
• 1:03:45
  The AI is actually convinced that if you go strictly on the
• 1:03:49
  Bible that the young Earth model actually fits more.
• 1:03:54
  I know that some people out there got bothered and that
• 1:03:57
  pissed them off, but for me it was like, well, this is what the
• 1:04:01
  AI has its view on. And the AI is simply taking the
• 1:04:06
  information from arguments all over the net as well as from the
• 1:04:11
  Bible itself. And it's, it makes sense.
• 1:04:13
  There's a lot of a lot of young earthers out there.
• 1:04:16
  Go ahead of. Course, if you ask the AI, you
• 1:04:19
  know, is younger of creationism true versus something like
• 1:04:23
  evolution billions of years, Big Bang cosmology, it'll take
• 1:04:27
  evolution, Big Bang cosmology the time, every single time
• 1:04:32
  because the people that program the AI are in Silicon Valley and
• 1:04:36
  young Earth creationists didn't program ChatGPT.
• 1:04:39
  So I expected to do that in those scenarios.
• 1:04:43
  But ChatGPT is a good analysis tool if you are having it
• 1:04:48
  compare and contrast to things that it doesn't necessarily have
• 1:04:51
  skin in the game for. I find it's very useful for
• 1:04:55
  stuff like that. I have seen a couple guys like
• 1:04:59
  Steven Meyer and another Christian theologian actually go
• 1:05:03
  at it with the AI. Other Christians are starting to
• 1:05:06
  do what we're doing TTOR, and they managed to get the AI to
• 1:05:11
  admit that God is real and that it makes perfectly rational,
• 1:05:15
  logical sense. And they did like a play with it
• 1:05:19
  or mess with it. They just simply use logic and
• 1:05:22
  rationality in order to determine the outcome and the AI
• 1:05:26
  agreed with them. So if what you said bothered
• 1:05:29
  people, they're really going to get tickled whenever they hear
• 1:05:33
  AI actually stating God is real. Right.
• 1:05:38
  And then we see that this user says Twitters or Xers worship
• 1:05:43
  Crock as a God. And there is an element of truth
• 1:05:47
  to that. Mark Dice recently did a video
• 1:05:50
  talking about how AI that we're talking about like ChatGPT and
• 1:05:56
  Copilot and Grok, etcetera. Basically, people are using
• 1:06:00
  those AI systems instead of search engines like Google to
• 1:06:04
  look up information on topics, which makes some people nervous.
• 1:06:12
  But it also could be troubling in the future because there have
• 1:06:15
  been documented cases where in order to, you know, pertain to a
• 1:06:20
  narrative, to pertain to the party line, so to speak, these
• 1:06:24
  AI systems would actually make up facts, make up stuff in order
• 1:06:30
  to maintain a narrative. And even when people would Fact
• 1:06:34
  Check these AI systems on these falsehoods, it was saying the AI
• 1:06:38
  systems were very slow to let go of the falsehoods.
• 1:06:41
  You basically had to beat it into submission via prompts to
• 1:06:45
  get it to admit. OK, that's not true, I'm wrong.
• 1:06:49
  Well, TTOR, I would argue and, and some people are going to
• 1:06:52
  probably get all over me for this, but I, I think that AI,
• 1:06:56
  especially Grok and chat TTP is better as a search engine than
• 1:07:02
  what Google's doing. And Google's actually trying to
• 1:07:04
  incorporate their copilot and their AI into their search
• 1:07:09
  engine because they know there's a problem.
• 1:07:11
  Like for instance TTOR, if I go to Grok and I say I want to be
• 1:07:16
  able to read articles that are pro young earth, I don't want
• 1:07:21
  any nonsense or any buffoonery or the criticisms.
• 1:07:24
  I just want to hear the argument itself.
• 1:07:27
  Grok will give me hundreds of sources and things to show the
• 1:07:32
  pro version of it. Now if I go directly to Google
• 1:07:35
  or one of these stupid search engines, I'm going to receive
• 1:07:38
  thousands of pages of people making fun of it and mocking it,
• 1:07:42
  and I'm going to have to weed through a lot of garbage in
• 1:07:45
  order to find the actual arguments.
• 1:07:47
  So in that way, AI is superior to the search engine.
• 1:07:52
  Right. And it's also superior to like
• 1:07:54
  YouTube search because when I try go searching for young Earth
• 1:07:58
  creationism content on YouTube, for example, like you said, I'll
• 1:08:02
  typically find a whole bunch of content that's critical of it or
• 1:08:06
  making fun of it, not doing like any kind of objective accurate
• 1:08:10
  analysis of the topic. Which is partially why I've made
• 1:08:14
  so many videos over the last decade on that topic, because
• 1:08:18
  I'm basically creating a whole, a whole library of information
• 1:08:21
  that maybe will get picked up by the algorithm when someone looks
• 1:08:25
  at topics like that. But.
• 1:08:28
  Yeah, that's true. Grok will if you prompt it, it
• 1:08:31
  will give you exactly what you asked for.
• 1:08:34
  And if you ask it for links, it'll give you links too for
• 1:08:37
  what it's saying. So in compared to search
• 1:08:40
  engines, yeah, it is way superior.
• 1:08:43
  That's probably why people are complaining about people using
• 1:08:47
  it in replacement of the search engine, because over the last 10
• 1:08:51
  years, search engines have become so sanitized that they're
• 1:08:54
  borderline useless. I mean, the only reason I even
• 1:08:58
  use Google Search now is because they have that AI overview at
• 1:09:02
  the top of all their search queries.
• 1:09:04
  And so I can see generally what it's saying through AI, and then
• 1:09:08
  the AI will give me links behind what it's saying and then I can
• 1:09:11
  look at the search results and see if there's anything in
• 1:09:14
  addition to that. But yeah, even these days when I
• 1:09:18
  use Google, I mostly go with what it's AI overview says and
• 1:09:21
  the links it provides. Cause going through an actual
• 1:09:25
  search engine, oh God, that's like splitting hairs.
• 1:09:28
  It takes so long to find what you're looking for.
• 1:09:32
  I'll give you one more example and then we can move on to the
• 1:09:35
  questions. If you like.
• 1:09:36
  TTR, about a a few months ago, I was set to debate a guy on
• 1:09:41
  socialism and communism. I don't know if you remember,
• 1:09:45
  Brother Maverick also joined me for the discussion.
• 1:09:47
  I think you came in for a little bit and pointed out your views.
• 1:09:52
  This guy, this atheist, was absolutely angry with me because
• 1:09:56
  I was able to within a moment be able to find out the socialism,
• 1:10:00
  communism has never worked in the long term in any country
• 1:10:04
  whatsoever. That in fact it actually caused
• 1:10:07
  the societies to fall and their economies to crash and
• 1:10:11
  everything else. And when he seen me use an AI,
• 1:10:14
  he was like, you're cheating. And I'm like, how am I cheating?
• 1:10:18
  If you open up a book and you decide to read about, you know,
• 1:10:21
  where you think it works, what's the difference between me simply
• 1:10:25
  researching the information this way and getting the sources?
• 1:10:29
  And of course, he ended up getting absolutely destroyed in
• 1:10:32
  the debate. Everybody agreed.
• 1:10:35
  But yeah, I worked out good as an assistant.
• 1:10:39
  Yeah, that is definitely true. Yeah, it just reminds me of so
• 1:10:47
  much. But I'm looking at the next
• 1:10:51
  question on our list, which is, is God a single being or
• 1:10:57
  composed of parts or persons like the Christian Trinity?
• 1:11:02
  Now, I've made videos in the past on my channel for those of
• 1:11:05
  you in the viewing audience out there defending the doctrine of
• 1:11:09
  the Trinity. Because when you go to the
• 1:11:11
  Bible, while the word Trinity does not appear in the Bible,
• 1:11:15
  the concept does, namely the concept of God being three
• 1:11:21
  divine persons with one divine nature.
• 1:11:25
  So if you have that fancy diagram on screen, which I
• 1:11:28
  currently don't, but I'm sure everyone watching is familiar
• 1:11:31
  with it, God is not God the Father.
• 1:11:35
  It is not God the Son, which is Jesus.
• 1:11:38
  God the Son is not the Holy Spirit.
• 1:11:41
  Holy Spirit is not God the Father, but God the Father is
• 1:11:45
  God, Holy Spirit is God, Jesus is God.
• 1:11:49
  So that creates a triangle where you have the middle part, which
• 1:11:54
  is God. All three of them are connecting
• 1:11:57
  to it. So you can find that concept in
• 1:12:01
  the Bible because you see that Jesus refers to God the Father
• 1:12:06
  as a different person from himself in the Gospels, which is
• 1:12:09
  why he told people on 2 occasions God the Father was in
• 1:12:12
  heaven. Because there are people today
• 1:12:14
  who want to tell you that God the Father was inside of Jesus
• 1:12:18
  during his earthly ministry, and yet Jesus himself said he was in
• 1:12:21
  heaven. And then we also see that Jesus
• 1:12:25
  talks about the Holy Spirit as being a different person from
• 1:12:29
  himself. But then Jesus identifies
• 1:12:32
  himself as God and John 858 explicitly.
• 1:12:36
  And we obviously know God the Father is God.
• 1:12:39
  But then we see that Jesus and the Holy Spirit all have divine
• 1:12:43
  attributes in the Bible that are prescribed to God the Father.
• 1:12:48
  So in the Bible we see that Jesus the Holy Spirit and God
• 1:12:53
  the Father are all God because they all have the same divine
• 1:12:57
  attributes. And at the end of the Gospel of
• 1:12:59
  Matthew, it literally says that the Father, the Son, and the
• 1:13:03
  Holy Spirit have the same name, singular.
• 1:13:08
  So even though the word Trinity is not in the Bible, the Bible
• 1:13:12
  does teach the concept of the Trinity in that way.
• 1:13:17
  And so when we're talking about God, he is a Trinitarian God.
• 1:13:23
  And the reason why I'm OK with this is because there is
• 1:13:27
  scripture that talks about how God is not like anything inside
• 1:13:31
  of his creation at all. There's nothing we can look at
• 1:13:35
  to compare his nature to and then understand it better
• 1:13:39
  because no one else in all of reality is a Trinitarian being.
• 1:13:45
  We're all one person, 1 spirit. We're not three persons and one
• 1:13:51
  being. We don't have a, you know,
• 1:13:54
  divine attributes like God. God is completely unique in his
• 1:13:57
  nature. It goes beyond human
• 1:13:59
  understanding. I mean, I can sort of understand
• 1:14:02
  it on a conceptual level, but I can't like really get my hands
• 1:14:07
  on that because I'm not like that.
• 1:14:09
  There's nothing like that inside of creation.
• 1:14:12
  And so I allow God to be God in that regard.
• 1:14:17
  I myself, I, you remember I had a tough time with the Trinity
• 1:14:22
  for a while and remember I used to argue with the TTOR and will
• 1:14:26
  not argue with you. We had open discussion about it
• 1:14:29
  and you ended up showing me a lot of different passages that
• 1:14:32
  helped me be able to get over the edge on that concept.
• 1:14:36
  But I thought to myself a while back, I thought, since God made
• 1:14:40
  us in his image, surely we should have some kind of
• 1:14:44
  something that's similar to how God works with this mechanism.
• 1:14:49
  And I looked and surprisingly, I don't know if you knew this TTOR
• 1:14:53
  as well as Jude. Humans have mechanisms within
• 1:14:56
  their brain in order to make their mind work called the Ed,
• 1:15:00
  the Super ego, and then the the standard ego that we have.
• 1:15:04
  We literally have these three major parts that work within us
• 1:15:07
  while we dream and while we're conscious, that work together
• 1:15:12
  and tangent in order to keep our moral grounding and how we make
• 1:15:17
  choices and decisions in existence.
• 1:15:19
  So in a way, humans actually have their own form of Trinity
• 1:15:24
  within them on a psychological level.
• 1:15:26
  Isn't that something? I don't know if you're
• 1:15:29
  interested in PTOR because I know you're hosting, so it's
• 1:15:32
  your rules. But it appears as though your
• 1:15:36
  pal Smokey is here. You want to try it or what?
• 1:15:40
  I'll think, I'll think about it as we continue on.
• 1:15:43
  Although I did just realize that I kind of already answered
• 1:15:47
  question #10 which is, are our words too limited to fully
• 1:15:51
  describe what God is like? And the answer to that in all
• 1:15:55
  capitals with at least 5 exclamation points is yes, our
• 1:16:00
  words are too limited because there's nothing in creation
• 1:16:04
  that's like God. Therefore, because there's
• 1:16:07
  nothing in creation that's even like Him at all, we're not going
• 1:16:11
  to be able to have the words to fully describe what He's like.
• 1:16:15
  As a matter of fact, in the book of Isaiah, there's only one
• 1:16:18
  thing God gives us to compare to him, and it's the universe
• 1:16:23
  itself, the heavens. Basically how the stars in the
• 1:16:28
  universe seem to be infinite in number, and yet God not only
• 1:16:32
  knows the number of the stars, but he knows the names of each
• 1:16:36
  one of them, which is like boom, mind blown.
• 1:16:40
  So yeah, God is way beyond our ability to fully describe
• 1:16:44
  because there's nothing like Him.
• 1:16:47
  And he politely says that. He politely says that.
• 1:16:49
  And you'd have a better chance of counting every grain of sand
• 1:16:52
  on the beach than fully understanding the Trinity.
• 1:16:55
  And gentlemen, I, I'm, I am sorry to have popped in like
• 1:16:58
  this. I've enjoyed this fully.
• 1:17:00
  I have an early morning with the Bishop tomorrow.
• 1:17:02
  But thank you very, very much for having me.
• 1:17:04
  And I would love to come again, but have a great night.
• 1:17:07
  We usually do things on Monday or Fridays, usually around
• 1:17:11
  either 6 to 8, sometimes even 9:00 PM.
• 1:17:14
  You're always welcome to come in when you come in.
• 1:17:17
  During my time, whenever he's not answering questions, it'll
• 1:17:20
  be more open up a discussion. You can ask questions and also
• 1:17:24
  throw your own stuff out there. Ideas and topics.
• 1:17:27
  I'm good. Sounds good.
• 1:17:28
  Thank you very much, Brett. Have a good day.
• 1:17:31
  You too? Yeah, and I see Smokey dipped
• 1:17:39
  out already. Well, what kind of solves that?
• 1:17:42
  But since we kind of just skipped over 10 and answered it
• 1:17:46
  already, question #9 I'm not quite understanding.
• 1:17:52
  It says how can God be simple but have qualities like love and
• 1:17:56
  justice? What is simple mean in the
• 1:17:58
  context of this question, Brett? Well, there's, I've heard some
• 1:18:03
  religious folks that say that God is simple, which I don't
• 1:18:06
  understand where the hell they get that idea from.
• 1:18:09
  And I've as far as I'm concerned, whenever it comes to
• 1:18:13
  love and some of these different attributes, these are not simple
• 1:18:18
  attributes. Anyone that's ever been involved
• 1:18:21
  where love is a part of the equation will tell you that boy
• 1:18:25
  oh boy, things can be very messy and very complex to navigate.
• 1:18:31
  Yeah, that is true, but like we just finished talking about the
• 1:18:35
  concept of the Trinity. I mean that alone kind of proves
• 1:18:39
  that God is not simple. But as far as his qualities like
• 1:18:45
  love and justice, I think, I think the question maybe is
• 1:18:48
  hinting towards the old line of thinking where how can a just
• 1:18:56
  and loving God allow evil and suffering in the world?
• 1:19:00
  Well, I think the simple fact of the matter is that God is
• 1:19:04
  infinite in all of his attributes.
• 1:19:06
  So his wrath and his vengeance and his justice is infinite,
• 1:19:10
  sure, but so is his love and His mercy.
• 1:19:15
  And that's what the gospel is all about.
• 1:19:18
  God is not going to let sin slide.
• 1:19:21
  He is going to hold everyone accountable for the crimes
• 1:19:24
  they've committed against Him and other human beings.
• 1:19:28
  But before we get to that point, He gives us a way out.
• 1:19:32
  Essentially a chance to avoid getting what's coming to us.
• 1:19:36
  Mainly a chance to repent and have our sin Ledger wiped clean
• 1:19:42
  so that we can then be in right relationship with God and spend
• 1:19:45
  eternity with Him. That's the good news of the
• 1:19:49
  gospel, and it shows how God's love and His mercy does not
• 1:19:54
  conflict with His other attributes like His vengeance,
• 1:19:58
  His justice, His wrath. They don't conflict at all.
• 1:20:02
  And he frankly can handle those much better than we can.
• 1:20:06
  I mean, the fact that He gives every single human being a
• 1:20:11
  chance to get right with him, no matter what sick, twisted freaks
• 1:20:15
  they are, That's a level of love and mercy that I am simply not
• 1:20:22
  capable of, and that most. People, if not all people, are
• 1:20:26
  simply just not capable of because as you know, Brett,
• 1:20:30
  there are some people out there who are so sick, twisted and
• 1:20:34
  depraved that they honestly have forfeited their right to live on
• 1:20:38
  the earth as a living being because of what they've done.
• 1:20:42
  It's that bad. But yet God is so.
• 1:20:44
  But God is so much more loving than I am and so much more
• 1:20:48
  loving than we are, that even to those people, whatever their
• 1:20:52
  window of opportunity is, they have one with God.
• 1:20:56
  That's a level of love and mercy that is beyond human ability,
• 1:21:00
  beyond human nature, I think. It's, it's not just that I've,
• 1:21:06
  this may come off weird, but I've actually, I've actually
• 1:21:09
  felt sorry for God in the sense that he can actually look into
• 1:21:14
  our mind and be able to transcribe our thoughts.
• 1:21:18
  And 90 I would say 80% of the world seems absolutely crazy.
• 1:21:22
  But could you imagine having this ability where you could
• 1:21:26
  read the minds of people? Even the most loving, kindest
• 1:21:29
  people, probably in the back of their mind have vengeful ideas
• 1:21:34
  and they're angry about something or would like to punch
• 1:21:37
  somebody from time to time, even no matter how good their
• 1:21:40
  behavior is on the outside. I could imagine having to see
• 1:21:44
  that all the time. Oh my goodness.
• 1:21:49
  Yeah, I get what you're saying in that regard.
• 1:21:52
  I'm just looking at the questions here.
• 1:21:55
  Let's see. Question #11 We feel sorry, but
• 1:22:00
  because obviously in his nature he can handle this.
• 1:22:03
  But what would the word be? Sympathize.
• 1:22:08
  Right, Yeah, it's hard to describe.
• 1:22:11
  Question #11 is interesting though.
• 1:22:14
  Do spiritual or mystical experiences tell us more about
• 1:22:17
  God than religious teachings? Now, that makes me think of
• 1:22:21
  those people I mentioned before who think that the Bible is
• 1:22:24
  optional or that it just simply doesn't matter.
• 1:22:30
  And they put all their emphasis on having these spiritual
• 1:22:33
  experiences. Kind of reminds me of people who
• 1:22:36
  go hopping from one church to another because they're looking
• 1:22:39
  to have a spiritual experience, usually one that occurs during
• 1:22:44
  worship service where they find themselves, you know, full of
• 1:22:47
  the Holy Ghost and behaving and acting in ways that are
• 1:22:51
  certainly strange to the outside observer.
• 1:22:55
  I think the answer to this question though, is that while
• 1:22:58
  spiritual and mystical experiences do happen, they
• 1:23:03
  cannot tell us more about God than religious teachings do,
• 1:23:07
  especially where the Bible is concerned.
• 1:23:10
  Because the Bible just touches on so many different aspects of
• 1:23:14
  human nature and the way the world works, the way the human
• 1:23:18
  psyche works, just a whole myriad of other topics.
• 1:23:24
  There's things that we just can't know without reading the
• 1:23:28
  Bible. No spiritual or mystical
• 1:23:30
  experience can tell us half the stuff that's written in the Word
• 1:23:34
  of God. We can only feel certain
• 1:23:36
  emotions or maybe we get certain things told to us.
• 1:23:40
  But with very few exceptions, exceptions like people who God
• 1:23:46
  actually revealed His written word to before it was written
• 1:23:49
  down. With few exceptions like that,
• 1:23:52
  most people will learn a lot more about God through the Bible
• 1:23:55
  than they will through a spiritual or mystical
• 1:23:58
  experience. I think at best a spiritual or
• 1:24:02
  mystical experience is merely A supplemental, supplemental
• 1:24:07
  experience to simply knowing the Bible and accepting it.
• 1:24:15
  What do you think? Unfortunately TTR I've been
• 1:24:21
  having some issue with my guts as of late and I've been having
• 1:24:24
  to go into the bathroom and all that.
• 1:24:26
  Can you give me a summary? Again, I'm sorry I can't see the
• 1:24:29
  text on there and although there are questions I can't remember
• 1:24:33
  all 50. The question was, do spiritual
• 1:24:37
  or mystical experiences tell us more about God than religious
• 1:24:40
  teachings? It depends.
• 1:24:44
  It depends on who you are. If you're Moses or Abraham and
• 1:24:48
  God is speaking to you directly. I do think that people educating
• 1:24:53
  each other, I mean, I told you on countless occasions, you as
• 1:24:57
  well as other Christians that you've been effective in helping
• 1:25:00
  me with my walk. So I think in some senses it's
• 1:25:05
  very, very good. I think that if you find the
• 1:25:07
  right people to fellowship with, that could be it could help you
• 1:25:11
  in a lot of different ways personally and spiritually.
• 1:25:14
  But if God is talking to you audibly, like He did with a lot
• 1:25:18
  of the people in the Bible, then not really much anybody can say
• 1:25:23
  to you that God isn't already going to rock'n'roll about.
• 1:25:27
  If you are, unfortunately I'm going to have to use the
• 1:25:29
  restroom again, I apologize. No problem, I can keep people
• 1:25:34
  entertained with the sound of my voice.
• 1:25:37
  I'm currently just looking at the questions here as you guys
• 1:25:40
  can see on screen. Seeing which ones I want to
• 1:25:43
  interact with next cuz I'm thinking one or two more
• 1:25:45
  questions then we'll call it a live stream.
• 1:25:50
  I'm just trying to think of trying to see which ones will be
• 1:25:52
  the best 2 to answer. I guess while I'm looking at
• 1:26:00
  these last two questions, I'll give you guys an update about
• 1:26:03
  what's upcoming on my channel, especially those of you who are
• 1:26:07
  watching the TTOR live stream. I have a new video coming out
• 1:26:12
  tomorrow after I get home from church and grocery shopping.
• 1:26:17
  Of course, it's going to be a video about the recent news
• 1:26:21
  story about the new information regarding the chimp in human
• 1:26:25
  genomes and the differences between them.
• 1:26:28
  Basically, an evolution myth has been busted, has been debunked,
• 1:26:34
  and I'm going to be documenting this in a video tomorrow.
• 1:26:37
  So you will definitely, if you're watching this, you will
• 1:26:41
  definitely want to subscribe and you will definitely want to stay
• 1:26:45
  tuned for that video because it is a doozy.
• 1:26:48
  It does involve reading articles and actually going to scientific
• 1:26:53
  papers in order to make the points about what I'm talking
• 1:26:57
  about that I do. It's going to be a great, great
• 1:27:00
  video and I'm sure the atheists and evolutionists are going to
• 1:27:04
  love me and embrace me. Of open arms attached to middle
• 1:27:08
  fingers. But anyway, that's what's coming
• 1:27:11
  tomorrow. And then I've started work on a
• 1:27:15
  brand new series. I've done videos about the
• 1:27:18
  atheist YouTube Paula Gia in the past.
• 1:27:21
  But in 2022, he did this video where he put out these
• 1:27:27
  stipulations that Kent Hovind would have to meet in order for
• 1:27:30
  Paula Gia to do a debate with him.
• 1:27:32
  Because at the time Kent Hovind was constantly calling him to
• 1:27:37
  debate him. So apology in this video laid
• 1:27:39
  out his stipulations for what he would what he what would have to
• 1:27:44
  be meant for him to do a debate with Kent Hovind.
• 1:27:47
  But then he spends the rest of the video giving his three best
• 1:27:50
  evidences for evolution. Now back in 2022, I made a video
• 1:27:56
  responding to his stipulations for Kent Hovind to debate him
• 1:28:00
  and pointed out the hypocrisy of the stipulations.
• 1:28:03
  And I said back then that I would eventually make a video
• 1:28:06
  responding to his best evidences for evolution.
• 1:28:09
  Unfortunately, the amount of information that Paula Gia
• 1:28:13
  provides about each of his evidences for evolution is
• 1:28:18
  really long, and so I'm going to have to make a separate video
• 1:28:22
  for each one of his evidences. And so I'm working on Part 1 of
• 1:28:26
  that three-part series. I don't know when it's going to
• 1:28:29
  come out. I have to get the research and
• 1:28:32
  work done and script it. And then I got to actually film
• 1:28:35
  and produce and edit and all that good lovely American
• 1:28:38
  YouTube stuff. So, but I just want you guys to
• 1:28:42
  know that that's something I am working on.
• 1:28:44
  It is coming out in the near future.
• 1:28:47
  Hopefully I can get Part 1 at least out by the end of August.
• 1:28:51
  And the whole trilogy will be nice too, because Apologia, as
• 1:28:57
  he says in his video, the three evidences for evolution that he
• 1:29:01
  presents are not just the best evidences that he's aware of,
• 1:29:05
  but he says that these evidences are what personally converted
• 1:29:09
  him to being an evolutionist. So I just have this feeling that
• 1:29:14
  as I go through his three evidences that convinced him
• 1:29:17
  that evolution is true, that I'm going to be severely
• 1:29:21
  unimpressed. I just got that feeling, but I
• 1:29:24
  have to actually do the legwork of seeing what he says and
• 1:29:27
  looking at information about what he's saying and all that
• 1:29:30
  good stuff that you people like about my videos in the past.
• 1:29:34
  So that's all on the horizon. That's coming soon.
• 1:29:40
  I think I got one of the last two questions all picked out.
• 1:29:43
  We're going to skip to the question 21.
• 1:29:47
  How does God's plan work with people making their own choices?
• 1:29:54
  Because that's something that I guess would bother some people.
• 1:29:58
  Or at least 'cause them some confusion, I guess would be the
• 1:30:02
  word. Because there are people out
• 1:30:04
  there who think that God has a plan for each and every one of
• 1:30:07
  our lives, and somehow that plan can be dethroned if we decide to
• 1:30:12
  go in a direction that seems to be contrary to what God wants.
• 1:30:18
  But as I've explained already in this live stream, God sees the
• 1:30:23
  outcome of every single choice that every single person makes.
• 1:30:28
  When a choice is made, God sees how that choice will play out
• 1:30:32
  and not just affect the person making the choice, but how it
• 1:30:35
  will affect other people as well.
• 1:30:38
  And God can see the bigger picture path of where that
• 1:30:41
  choice will lead someone. So God understands every outcome
• 1:30:48
  for every choice. He sees it all and nothing can
• 1:30:51
  surprise him. Therefore, so God's plan, he
• 1:30:57
  knows before any one of us even existed the choices that we
• 1:31:02
  would make in our life and where they would lead.
• 1:31:04
  And so He may have a plan for us, and then we may choose to
• 1:31:09
  reject that plan or that call. But even our rejection and going
• 1:31:14
  another way in that scenario is something that God foresaw.
• 1:31:19
  He knows what people will freely choose to do because He knows
• 1:31:23
  their hearts so well. And you can just go through the
• 1:31:26
  Old and New Testament and you can find passage upon passage
• 1:31:30
  about how God knows us so intimately.
• 1:31:33
  He knows us down to our very molecule.
• 1:31:36
  He knows us better than we know ourselves.
• 1:31:39
  He knows our nature and our psychology better than we know
• 1:31:43
  ourselves. And so we can't really do
• 1:31:46
  anything that he didn't see coming because he knows us so
• 1:31:50
  well and he knows what we will freely choose to do.
• 1:31:53
  So I would say that God's plan works just fine with people
• 1:31:57
  making their own choices, because God takes that into
• 1:32:00
  account when it comes to having a grand plan for someone's life.
• 1:32:08
  I'm back, mother teeth. You are sorry about that?
• 1:32:12
  I was just answering question 21, which is how does God's plan
• 1:32:15
  work with people making their own choices?
• 1:32:19
  As you know, T2 are you and I've talked about this.
• 1:32:22
  I'm a compatibilist and I believe that some things are
• 1:32:26
  predetermined. Predestined and set in stone is
• 1:32:29
  where their framework allows for free will and the choice of man.
• 1:32:34
  I wish that they would change the concept of free will to a
• 1:32:39
  more appropriate word though to more based upon the constraints
• 1:32:44
  of the law and our nature though.
• 1:32:45
  I see. I'll give you an example.
• 1:32:50
  Although a lot of atheists think that when it says free will,
• 1:32:54
  that means that we could simply choose to do anything like climb
• 1:32:58
  up on a building and start flying like Superman or
• 1:33:00
  something. No Free will choice is based
• 1:33:04
  upon our nature, limitations and potential.
• 1:33:10
  That is a good point. Now the last question we will
• 1:33:13
  answer before we end this live stream is question #24 can we
• 1:33:20
  ever fully understand God's plan or just parts of it?
• 1:33:25
  And I think the answer to that question is pretty obvious.
• 1:33:31
  I don't think anyone can ever fully understand God's plan
• 1:33:36
  before it happens. But as my dad has pointed out to
• 1:33:39
  me many times, you can look back in retrospect at the way things
• 1:33:44
  went in your life, and you can look back and you can point out
• 1:33:47
  the places where God definitely stepped in and had us go certain
• 1:33:52
  ways to get to where we are today.
• 1:33:53
  It's like, well, if I hadn't done that, then all of this
• 1:33:56
  stuff wouldn't have happened, which was all good.
• 1:33:57
  And if I hadn't done these, then this wouldn't have happened,
• 1:34:00
  which is also good. If you can, if you track with
• 1:34:04
  what I'm saying, basically, we can understand God's plan in
• 1:34:07
  part when it's behind us, when it's in retrospect, but when
• 1:34:12
  it's right in front of us and we were going through it, we rarely
• 1:34:15
  ever can fully understand God's plan.
• 1:34:20
  I've had a lot of things like that happen to me TTOR It's one
• 1:34:24
  of the reasons why I personally feel as though I've had, how
• 1:34:27
  shall I say, spiritual experiences that led me towards
• 1:34:31
  the concept of God. I have I ever told you about one
• 1:34:35
  of those incidences that was played a major role in my life
• 1:34:38
  before you shut it down. Sure.
• 1:34:42
  Well before I met my wife and all that, I was involved in a
• 1:34:46
  relationship with a person who was pretty abusive.
• 1:34:49
  They treated me like absolute crap, but for some reason I
• 1:34:54
  still had the strange thing where I thought the person could
• 1:34:57
  change and that they would eventually learn how to love me
• 1:35:01
  as much as I cared about them kind of thing.
• 1:35:03
  Well, it got to the point where it got so damn toxic and so bad.
• 1:35:07
  I eventually had this, this person and I did not work out.
• 1:35:12
  And I remember thinking to myself, man, I'm never going to
• 1:35:15
  find someone. I'm never going to find someone
• 1:35:17
  who's got a good heart. I mean, I literally had it set
• 1:35:20
  in my mind that there's just nobody out there what I'm
• 1:35:24
  looking for. And one day I took a long walk
• 1:35:27
  and during that walk, I had this this ID in my head that either
• 1:35:31
  one, I'm going to throw myself out in front of the a car or I'm
• 1:35:36
  just going to try to see where God leads me kind of thing.
• 1:35:39
  And this was right before I became like skeptical and all
• 1:35:42
  this kind of stuff. This is one of the things that
• 1:35:45
  held me to be open minded about Christianity for a long time.
• 1:35:49
  I actually prayed and then I made myself into town and
• 1:35:53
  everything. And I walked past this house and
• 1:35:56
  there was this beautiful angelic looking woman sitting up on a
• 1:36:01
  balcony and she was so beautiful.
• 1:36:03
  I could not turn away. Something just kept moving me
• 1:36:07
  towards her. And I go up and I say, hey, my
• 1:36:11
  name is Brett, would you like to hang out?
• 1:36:13
  I literally put it out like that.
• 1:36:14
  Can I come up and visit with you?
• 1:36:17
  And normally in our time and age, people whip your ass or
• 1:36:20
  call the police. She talked like that, right?
• 1:36:23
  But not her. She smiled at me and she invited
• 1:36:26
  me up and I got to know her, and she turned out to be my wife for
• 1:36:30
  30 years. I really, really was convinced I
• 1:36:34
  was never going to find love. And there it was, right there,
• 1:36:37
  just waiting for me. And what's weird about it, TTOR
• 1:36:40
  is she could, it could have been possible that she could have
• 1:36:43
  been inside watching TV that day.
• 1:36:45
  She could have been out somewhere with her family
• 1:36:47
  members. But she just happened to be
• 1:36:50
  there as I walked by. And I really believe God led me
• 1:36:53
  to her. I would not disagree with you
• 1:36:57
  there. It definitely sounds
• 1:36:59
  orchestrated from above as a lovely story.
• 1:37:04
  For anybody out there who feels that way, where you if you feel
• 1:37:07
  lonely and you feel like you're not going to be able to connect
• 1:37:11
  and all that, don't worry about it.
• 1:37:13
  Sometimes it comes later in life.
• 1:37:15
  I've had plenty of friends where it took them a while, but then
• 1:37:18
  they ended up finding the woman of their dreams and everything
• 1:37:21
  worked out. But when you do find a woman or
• 1:37:24
  you find someone that you're interested in, don't jump on the
• 1:37:27
  first one. Get to know them.
• 1:37:30
  Be their friend before you make any commitment decisions.
• 1:37:34
  Go ahead if you are had to give some suggestions to the crowd.
• 1:37:38
  Oh I completely agree with that suggestion, especially with my
• 1:37:42
  life experience. If you're going to be in a
• 1:37:45
  relationship with someone that could possibly go to marriage,
• 1:37:49
  you really want to take it slow and get the time.
• 1:37:52
  Take the time to get to know who they really are.
• 1:37:54
  Because if you get married to the wrong person, your life and
• 1:37:59
  your marriage will be hell on earth.
• 1:38:02
  It will be awful, it will be toxic and draining, and you will
• 1:38:05
  eventually become a shell of your former self.
• 1:38:09
  So bypass all that by getting to know someone really well and
• 1:38:14
  only making that full marriage commitment to someone that you
• 1:38:18
  know is not going to be like that.
• 1:38:21
  Hell hath no fury like that of a woman scorned.
• 1:38:24
  I actually wrote a song about it.
• 1:38:29
  All right, everyone, that is all for tonight's live stream.
• 1:38:32
  Thank you for tuning in to see Brett and me and father Ude
• 1:38:37
  respond to questions for Christians that Brett wrote, and
• 1:38:41
  we will see you in the next live stream, whenever that is,
• 1:38:45
  whether it be on Brett's channel or mine.
• 1:38:48
  Ta ta for now.
