Walking with God VS Christian Church Service · Brett Keane and Eve Show

0:06
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
0:09
You are listening to be K-Rock and I am your host Health Uzi.
0:15
I hope you're all having a good morning out there.
0:19
I've got my coffee and I figured we could sit back this morning
0:23
and just have a light conversation about Christianity
0:27
in the church. Since I was a young boy, I
0:31
became fascinated with the concept of God.
0:34
I became fascinated with What it was that Christianity was trying
0:39
to suggest to the world, what it was causing us to ponder and
0:44
consider. So I unlike many people out
0:49
there, decided to go in the direction that a lot of people
0:54
for some reason to choose not to do.
0:58
I was told that the Bible was the word of God.
1:01
I was told that it was directly from God that God had put this
1:05
wisdom and information and knowledge into men throughout
1:09
history. Who would eventually sit down?
1:12
And write the very words that came from God to communicate
1:16
man, right off the bat. Whenever you read the Bible, you
1:20
read an origin story about how man came into existence, how he
1:25
became sentient. The bad decisions, Made as well
1:28
as the good decisions in order to survive but also inevitably
1:33
bringing death into the world. Compromising his very soul and
1:38
bringing corruption to all of existence throughout the story
1:44
of Adam and Eve. There's one thing I noticed,
1:47
right off the bat, Nothing about a church was ever even
1:51
mentioned. Nothing about going with church
1:56
on Sunday, very early in the morning or at night nothing
2:00
about a bunch of people getting together and listening to a
2:03
person talk while Afterwards. Maybe they have a picnic where
2:10
they have a feast or something like that.
2:12
Now, don't get me wrong, folks. Certain people.
2:15
I like to hang out with and there is definitely no
2:19
disappointment or complaints. That come from me, whenever it
2:22
comes to eating, I do love to eat.
2:26
Yes. My wife is one of the best cooks
2:28
I've ever dealt with in my life and I just can't get enough of
2:32
whatever she's doing. But the point is that whenever
2:36
you reading the Book of Genesis Adam and Eve.
2:39
Don't one single time, attend church, not one single time.
2:45
Are they told that they are bad that they should be guilty until
2:52
they actually did something that was against God.
2:56
I believe that when people make mistakes or they intentionally
3:01
do something or willfully, do something wrong.
3:04
Then, that is the time in, which you go to church, or go seek God
3:10
and ask him for forgiveness and all this.
3:13
Not just because to do it. In fact, if you have ran out of
3:19
sins to ask for forgiveness for and you really want to talk to
3:23
God, I'm sure that God would probably appreciate. it it if
3:27
you think him for all the blessings and the good things in
3:30
your life, I think that some people whenever they go to
3:34
church, they give this weird idea that they're going to get
3:38
brownie points with God by going to a church listening to
3:41
somebody else. But why would you do that for?
3:46
We talked a little bit about the Book of Genesis.
3:48
We talked about the origin story but let's move on to some of the
3:52
other characters. We've got many people from
3:56
Abraham, to Moses, to Noah, to all these different figures.
4:01
Noah was someone you The never found in church.
4:04
He was someone that was not going to Something.
4:07
In fact it said that the world was so screwed up that everybody
4:11
was kind of doing what we call a Royal Rumble.
4:14
Just trying to live off the land, do what they do and there
4:17
was a lot of bad things going on but there wasn't one day where
4:22
Noah actually went to any kind of some kind of body or church
4:28
to do that too, because why the entire world was evil So he
4:32
didn't have anybody but his family members to be able to
4:36
hang out with. Then there was Abraham, he was a
4:39
nomad, his entire family walk, the deserts, they moved
4:45
everywhere. They didn't ever like to sit
4:48
down and say, hey, let's build a church and churches, would have
4:52
looked kind of weird before the time of Christ.
4:54
Anyway, if you think about it, most of us, when we're driving
4:58
down the road, whether we're the passenger were, the were the
5:02
Just driving when we see a church.
5:04
We normally associated with Jesus because we see a cross
5:08
above it. Well, thousands of years before
5:12
Jesus came along, there was no crosses are in churches and all
5:16
that. The first time humanity would
5:18
historically. Look upon crosses is when
5:21
pagans, as well as the Romans started using them in order to
5:25
kill convicts, and people that they considered undesirables.
5:31
So you wouldn't have seen across at that point in time because
5:36
the only thing is symbolized was death and destruction, it wasn't
5:41
until Jesus came along and died on one of these crosses where it
5:45
became a statement of eternal life for redemption or
5:50
forgiveness. before that it was just considered nothing more
5:59
than a torture device to slowly cause someone pain and kill
6:05
them. Now when we look throughout the
6:09
Old Testament, it started getting to a point as little
6:13
Villages and tribes and Huts were put together and
6:18
civilization became more. How shall I say?
6:21
Civilized is when people started creating temples and they
6:26
started creating statues and they started creating all these
6:29
materialistic things claiming this is how you go about,
6:34
worshiping God. But anybody that's ever actually
6:38
read the Bible, which a lot of Christians, unfortunately don't
6:42
would realize that a lot of these people who were building
6:45
temples were damn near corrupt. A lot of these people were
6:50
manipulative. They used the community and they
6:54
use the citizens telling people that they must do this, and they
6:59
must do that, and they must attend their functions and give
7:03
money and do all this kind of stuff in order to do this.
7:07
There wasn't one single time where God told any of these
7:10
people, that, at eight in the morning, you need to go and be a
7:14
part of this function or any of this.
7:17
In fact, God made it clear from the very start of the entire
7:21
story. If we were to return the Genesis
7:23
for a moment that he wanted to create us because you wanted us
7:27
to be happy, he wanted us to have meaning and purpose in our
7:31
life and the only thing he commanded us to do at this point
7:35
was to Bear fruit and multiply he wanted us to have an
7:39
abundance of life. He did not say that we needed to
7:44
become a part of rituals that we needed to jump through Loops,
7:48
that we had to do certain things in order to gain or accomplish
7:52
his love. So as a young person reading
7:58
these different things and I felt like I was doing a pretty
8:02
good job of absorbing the knowledge and the information
8:06
directly from the word of God himself.
8:10
I found myself kind of getting into issues whenever my mother
8:16
most of the time forced me to go to these churches.
8:20
My mother felt like there was a lot of things that she did in
8:23
her life that were wrong. She was convinced that if she
8:27
did certain things that she would be able to change the
8:30
hearts and minds of other people.
8:33
And she also realized that he had a lot of problems internally
8:37
with herself, and she believed that the church could help her
8:42
And there were times where I would hear her pray and cry and
8:46
do the things that she did. But the problem with my mother
8:50
was, and it's a problem that a lot of people have out, there is
8:55
a lot of people. They say, they want Redemption
8:58
and they want forgiveness, and they want to change their lives.
9:02
But usually, they end up becoming Their Own Worst Enemy.
9:06
They tell God if you just let me have this and you give me this
9:10
then I will change my ways. I will do better.
9:13
I will do this and I will do that.
9:16
Unfortunately, even though my mother wasn't a terrible person
9:20
or a evil person, she continued to do what she was going to do.
9:26
But she wasn't the only one my entire family.
9:30
Anybody I'd ever met throughout growing up, they would say, God,
9:34
if you do this, they I could deal with God and then they
9:38
would break it. They would say that they were
9:41
about love and family but behind closed doors.
9:45
Other things were said that should have never been said,
9:48
especially in the presence of children.
9:53
So, a lot of people out there, they wonder why it is that they
9:56
suffer. They wonder why it is that they
9:58
hurt. They wonder why it is.
10:01
That it seems as though God doesn't keep his promises
10:05
perhaps. God does keep his promises but
10:09
if you don't keep your end of the deal, then you're not going
10:11
to be on the same road that leads to the promised land.
10:15
Does that make sense? There were some Churches.
10:22
I went to whenever I was a kid that I like, but most of them,
10:27
they were boring. And the reason why they were
10:30
boring to me was not because I was ignorant or stupid or
10:35
because I don't have the ability to sit down and listen to what
10:38
someone has to say. The problem was, is that a lot
10:42
of these churches got into a pattern for me whenever I was a
10:45
kid where they settled A lot of the same things and most of the
10:49
time, they said things that didn't even go along with the
10:52
Bible and you can tell they didn't put too much thought into
10:56
it. I remember going to this one
10:59
Church where the preacher was. So, I don't know if it was
11:04
because of AIDS or because he didn't put a lot of effort into
11:09
his study or what he was wanting to preach about.
11:12
But he was always mixed Moses and no up.
11:15
Moses is a guy who carried the Ten Commandments and Noah was
11:20
the guy that was in the flood who was assisted by God to
11:24
create the arc. This preacher would constantly
11:28
mix the names up. He would constantly mix-up who
11:33
was where in the timeline of the Bible and it was embarrassing,
11:38
but a lot of people, let that go.
11:41
A lot of people were just like, well we know what he's talking
11:43
about, we know where he's getting at and when you paid
11:48
attention a little bit to his life, the man had a lot of How
11:53
shall I say things going on in his existence?
11:56
That he seemed more concerned about that.
11:58
And what he was actually talking about, whenever it came to the
12:01
Bible for him, he was one of these type of people were on
12:05
Sunday. He was your preacher, but for
12:07
the rest of the week, he was a complete scandalous.
12:10
It'll so You get a lot of people like that were on that one day
12:17
of the week. Whenever it's supposed to be
12:19
God's day people, give a little bit of effort and then at the
12:24
pool, the futility of the entire week, they go back into their,
12:31
their transformation back into Being who they really are
12:37
basically not wearing the mask anymore.
12:43
To me Church caused a lot of Devastation because you want to
12:50
listen to people that know something, and you'd like to
12:53
learn something new. Imagine for a moment that you're
12:57
a kid and you're going to the same classroom and the same
13:02
school listening to the same things being said to you every
13:07
single time you go to school. Well, you would think that, at
13:10
some point someone would go. Wow, this person that I'm listen
13:16
to you. This supposed teacher is telling
13:19
me the same thing over and over and over again.
13:24
And you just feel like you're hearing a repetitive redundant
13:27
record as opposed to learning something new in the Bible they
13:32
call it. The babes in Christ are
13:36
basically feeding on the milk, the teeth.
13:40
And the ones who were actually Walking with God, they seek meat
13:46
and I wasn't feeling spiritually fed whenever I was doing the
13:50
whole church gig. So I started basically getting
13:55
away from the church. Now, some people might say well
14:00
because you got away from the church isn't that one of the
14:03
reasons why you became a non-believer?
14:05
A skeptic back then no, it wasn't because of not hearing
14:10
what a preacher had to say. It was because of constantly
14:14
seeing what the world was doing and some of the harsh nightmares
14:20
of reality. Seeing a lot of Death.
14:23
I think that every person in the world when you see people that
14:27
you love pass away or die or suffer and all that, you're
14:31
going to ask questions, but the beauty is even though some
14:36
people out there would like to blame every reason in the world,
14:39
why someone would lose your faith sometimes The truth is
14:44
that God is going to just sit back and allow you to learn.
14:49
Sometimes the best way for a child to learn is to Simply let
14:53
them do what they're going to do.
14:57
That's what God did for me and I learned quite a bit and I got
15:02
the understanding a lot more about what happened and why
15:07
things happen, I started understanding the meaning.
15:11
And the point of my existence, I also started realizing that I'm
15:16
not as great as what I thought I was.
15:18
And I also realize I'm not as bad, terrible, some would like
15:21
me to believe. I'm just me, just living my
15:25
life. Just doing what I'm going to do.
15:28
Now we talked a little bit about the Old Testament whenever it
15:31
comes to churches. It's true temples were built.
15:35
It's true that little organizations and The Nomad
15:38
desert started to come together and people started writing
15:42
Scrolls and writing on animal skins and all that.
15:46
And by the time it got to the New Testament, even Jesus
15:51
Christ. Whenever he was born, he had the
15:54
scribes and people who would sit there and and listen to him
15:59
because he would come in as a young boy and have such great
16:03
and awesome knowledge that would surprise them.
16:07
But even though we know that about Jesus, we also know that
16:11
Jesus Christ had to as a child, his human parents had to
16:16
actually take him all over the place.
16:19
He couldn't ever really live somewhere for a long time
16:23
because I King and men were trying to kill him over a
16:27
prophecy. So, Jesus Christ never had a
16:31
whole lot of places. He could go or buildings, he
16:35
could go to worship God. In fact, when you read the
16:39
Bible, there's only one single place.
16:43
I only one environment I can think of where Jesus truly got
16:48
bothered or aggravated about what humans are doing and that
16:52
was the temple. Remember the story of him going
16:56
in and actually fashioning a whip?
16:58
He was hitting people and he was yelling and he was screaming
17:01
because the temple, the house of God had nothing to do with God
17:07
anymore. It was about selling material
17:09
things, which is not a lot different than what is
17:12
happening. Nowadays where you have
17:15
religious people who are selling and funding themselves and doing
17:19
all these things. I have no problem with
17:22
Christians making money. I have no problems with
17:25
Christians, having wealth, and success, and all that, there
17:28
were plenty of men in the Bible that had success and wealth.
17:32
The On that one needs to ask himself.
17:35
Is it all about the money? This is all about the wealth and
17:40
there's it really about God. This is the pit that you find
17:43
yourself in with dealing, with people like this, even though I
17:49
got away from church and I got away from the redundancy and
17:54
Groundhog's Day of all of that, there were still preachers.
17:58
I listen to there were preachers, that I felt had
18:02
something new that they could teach me that.
18:04
I didn't already know. I think that anybody in their
18:08
right mind, you know that the very definition of been saying
18:11
is to do the same thing over and over again.
18:14
So it would in fact be insane to Listen to the same stories and
18:19
the same redundant stuff people. I can't hold them too, as well
18:24
as other preachers out there. I listen to we're starting to
18:28
get into conversations about what was happening in the
18:32
universe. How did life actually get here?
18:37
The fought and used science, and their wisdom, and their
18:41
knowledge to actually go after the common beliefs or scientific
18:48
at the indications of the day. These were the type of people I
18:52
like listening to. I also like listening to
18:56
philosophers. The more, I listened the
18:59
philosophy, the more I was able to understand myself and life
19:03
around me. And none of the little redneck
19:07
country church is I ever went to Growing Up or even in the city
19:12
of st. Louis, the murder capital of the
19:14
world where all those people need Redemption.
19:17
No one ever. Actually had a discussion about
19:23
the universe, no one ever really discussed in depth.
19:27
Why did God create us? Where did God come from?
19:32
Why. And how does God have the
19:34
ability? That is that he has People gave
19:39
vague things where God loves you, because he loves you, kind
19:42
of answers, circular logic. But I listen to all these
19:49
philosophers, I even listen to some of the people on the other
19:53
side you were scientists and philosophers and believe it or
19:58
not, there were sometimes. I know this is going to come off
20:01
weird. We're when you listen to some
20:04
people who are claimed to be the most skeptical, are the most non
20:09
believers of all every once in a while.
20:12
They say something about the universe or something that is
20:15
going on in Ands or in the very concept of science that speaks
20:23
to you and it correlates with your views and your thoughts and
20:28
how it combines, what your concept of God, that's right.
20:33
An atheist as well as one of these offshoot religious folks,
20:39
who are talking about flossing the universe.
20:42
Sometimes can say things, That just turn the light on for you.
20:49
I've had a lot of people accuse me of being one of those types
20:52
to. I've had religious people as
20:55
well as non believers claim that some of the things I talk about
21:00
are. So relatable, so identifiable
21:04
and on top of it, I switch the light on for people who've been
21:08
in the dark for a long time. I think that the mistake that
21:16
some preachers make is they talked as though they already
21:21
think they know all the answers. Is where I've always admitted
21:26
that. Being someone he's constantly
21:28
seeking. I'm someone who's looking for
21:31
new information. I'm going to be 50 years old in
21:35
a few years. And I do not want to spend the
21:41
rest of my time on Earth sitting in some kind of musty ass
21:47
Church. Listening to the same things.
21:50
Being said to me I get a good Phil whenever I sit down and I
21:56
get to choose what I'm going to listen to and that's what I do
22:00
with social media. Sometimes I'll read stories or
22:05
articles that someone put out there.
22:08
Sometimes I will go watch a Kent hovind video or one of the many
22:12
philosophers that I enjoy listening to and I'll get what I
22:17
need for the day. And then I move on and I go do
22:21
the rest of my thing. There's another thing I find
22:29
myself too, everybody's got their own limitations on their
22:34
transitions or how much they want from the church, I suppose.
22:39
Well growing up. I eventually obviously became an
22:44
adult and I decided to get hooked up with a woman and have
22:48
children, what they're my family.
22:51
A lot of my family members are like myself in some ways, where
22:55
they do not enjoy sitting down. Arn, hard wooden chairs,
22:59
listening to someone talk talk, talk talk, talk.
23:03
I've got kids who work many, many hours.
23:08
And whenever they're not working, they have very little
23:11
time to be able to do things that they want to do in life.
23:16
And I know some preachers would try to make a person feel guilty
23:19
for that. Oh you got all this time in the
23:22
world to work and do all this but you've got no time to sit
23:26
down and listen to God. See that's the game that a lot
23:29
of these preachers Play. No preacher.
23:33
We don't have time for you. We got all day for God.
23:37
We just don't Listen to you. We do not want to set in your
23:41
church and listen to what you how you interpret things.
23:45
We don't want to be a part of the blind, leading the blind.
23:50
My kids say like science they like philosophy, they like all
23:54
kinds of different things and they learn a lot of stuff from
23:58
me. They learn things from their
23:59
mother. But I think what's important is
24:02
whenever a child is going to learn something.
24:05
I think they need to learn by action because that's where the
24:08
real admiration and respect come in.
24:11
That's where the true love comes.
24:13
And when you actually see that your parents are doing this in
24:16
the snap, I'm not saying that I'm a perfect.
24:20
Here. I'm not saying that I have done
24:22
everything great, but one thing that my kids can never deny is
24:27
that I love them. And I would die for them.
24:31
If I had to, I have lived through them, I would die for
24:35
them. I would suffer for them.
24:39
And they all know that including my wife.
24:45
And is that not the love that God is trying to teach?
24:48
Is that not the message that he sent his only begotten?
24:52
Son? He so loved the world.
24:54
He loved us so much that he wanted to be there and he wanted
25:01
to show us by action what he was about and he was willing to die
25:05
for us. He was willing to suffer for us
25:09
that is the message of love to me.
25:11
That tells me everything I need to know.
25:14
After hearing that, and knowing that about God, and knowing what
25:18
God is capable of than what he's willing to do for me, why do I
25:22
need to hear some mediator or somebody else?
25:28
Unless I so choose or I feel like they have something to add
25:31
to the equation. Now, I'm not saying the church
25:36
ain't good for some people out there, some of you out there,
25:40
you may feel like it strengthens you.
25:43
Maybe you're one of these lucky people where you have found
25:48
other people who are agreeable and won't argue and fight with
25:52
you over having different views or a different walk with God.
25:58
But it's just not for me. I'm not saying that church is
26:05
always horrible, whenever I was younger, there were a couple
26:08
churches, I went to where they had some great music and the
26:13
cooks, they made good food and had some great dinners and all
26:17
that kind of stuff. I've been in churches where they
26:22
do a big old dramatic thing where you get to see stages and
26:26
acting and all that. And I've also been in the little
26:29
tiny water down churches where you got literally less than a
26:32
handful of people sitting there while someone attempts to tune
26:36
their guitar and sang as though they've got throat cancer.
26:42
Yes, I've done it all. I've been there.
26:45
I've done that. And now I know that there's
26:49
certain things that I want in my life, certain things, I'm
26:52
willing to sit through, that's where I'm at.
26:56
I hope you guys enjoyed the video and I hope that the most
27:00
important moral of the story that you get from all.
27:03
This is, why do you need to go to a church?
27:07
Why do you need to do anything? Whenever you can go directly to
27:12
God himself? You can, you don't have to get
27:17
on your knees. You don't have to put your hands
27:21
together. You don't have to do some kind
27:23
of weird, somersaults or flips because guess what ladies and
27:27
gentlemen God is there. He does not require you to do
27:33
any stupid stuff. There's not one time where God
27:38
says Adam Eve and order to be able to speak with me.
27:41
You need to do a headstand. Are you need to run 20 miles
27:46
before I'll communicate with you.
27:48
You do not need to jump in and out of mobile or a carriage or
27:52
right, a horse and go somewhere in order to talk to me.
27:56
I am there and I will walk with you in the present and the light
28:01
right here, right now. You understand what I'm saying?
28:05
Folks does any of this make sense?
28:08
That's where I'm at. I just want to walk with God.
28:12
I don't need all the other folks that none of the other disciples
28:17
of God ever actually went to church.
28:20
I think Luke was as close as it's going to get and some of
28:23
them were part of the Temple. But if I were to in this video
28:28
with a finale, I would say this and I want you all to ask
28:32
yourself a question in the end when Jesus Christ was taken
28:38
captive and he was beaten up and he was killed.
28:42
Why did that happen happen? Because the church in the
28:46
religion of that time, executed him they lied and they convinced
28:52
the pagans of those days, the Jewish religion.
28:56
With the Pagan religion decided that they wanted to kill the Son
29:00
of God, they tortured him, they humiliated him, they made a
29:05
spectacle, they sold material things in his Temple, and then
29:10
they hung him out to dry. And sometimes I feel like that's
29:17
exactly what the churches and religion does today.
29:22
So try to be very careful. With what I associate myself
29:27
with. I'm not saying that it's always
29:31
that traumatic. Sometimes the answer is some
29:35
people are just boring and don't have charisma.
29:40
I just don't want to listen to him.
29:42
I think everybody can relate to that right.
29:45
All right. Ladies and gentlemen so God
29:47
bless
