Feb 19, 2025
For my article about the proof of the objective existence of God and the veracity of the bible, see link below https://tayibs.com/2020/07/29/how-do-we-know-that-we-serve-the-true-god/ In today's eternal perspective presentation, I wanted to talk about your greatest weapon ever—your worldview. It pretty much determines where you're headed and how your life is going to end.

hello this is T at t.com and welcome to
0:04
uh one of my talks I haven't had this
0:05
kind of talk in like a long time just
0:08
because it's not like I've not had like
0:10
things to talk about I just don't want
0:12
to talk just to talk okay that's just
0:15
what I believe and uh today I felt like
0:18
this was a good time to like talk about
0:21
what is truth and what is truth serious
0:24
pretty much your worldview now if you
0:26
recall in John 18 I want to read you
0:29
something here Jesus says to uh pilate
0:32
listen to what Jesus says to pilate in
0:34
John 18 I'm going to try to minimize my
0:36
screen here and and see if that's can
0:38
that can happen all right so listen to
0:41
this Jesus says to pilate in John 18
0:45
verse uh 37 pilate says you are a king
0:49
then said pilate and Jesus answered him
0:53
you say that I am a king in fact the
0:55
reason was the reason why I was born and
0:58
came into the world is to test ify to
1:00
the
1:01
truth everyone on the side of Truth
1:04
listens to me and listen to what pilot
1:07
says in John
1:08
1838 what is
1:11
truth and the scripture says that with
1:13
this he went out again to the Jews that
1:16
GA there and said I find no basis for a
1:18
charge against Jesus right now this is
1:22
I'm going to tell you why I want to I
1:23
want to talk about this like pilate had
1:25
pretty much this is the greatest
1:27
question anyone could ask Jesus Jesus
1:30
I'm talking the god of the universe is
1:33
in front of you in the flesh and pilate
1:36
says what is truth Jesus tells him I
1:39
came to testify to the truth and
1:41
everyone that's on the side of Truth
1:42
listens to me and pilot says what is
1:45
truth now did he say it because he meant
1:48
it was he like man what is truth I've
1:52
been asking for this for my whole life
1:54
or was he like what is
1:57
truth what did he or did he say what is
2:00
truth like I don't know how he said it
2:02
like scripture doesn't tell us if he was
2:03
being sarcastic or actually asking a
2:06
serious question but that's beside the
2:09
point today I want to talk about this
2:12
idea of worldview because it's important
2:15
right uh pretty much it's your greatest
2:17
weapon ever and it pretty much it
2:20
determines how your life is going to end
2:22
and where you're headed in life your
2:24
world view is important right and
2:27
without objective truth and reality you
2:29
are utterly doomed and I'll get to that
2:32
throughout the the topic as I talk about
2:34
this today right and I'll give you some
2:36
a few anecdotes and then we'll get to
2:38
the meat of the topic right like I want
2:40
to I want to start by saying your
2:42
worldview is so important that if
2:45
there's anything that I want you to
2:47
really focus on is your worldview you
2:48
have to know how you view life right and
2:53
and a lot of time we establish Truth by
2:56
referendum or if the majority believes
2:58
this then this is this is true and this
3:00
is what a lot of people do they believe
3:02
stuff because a lot of people believe
3:04
that right but that's not the right way
3:06
to do that now are they outset I want to
3:08
say something my worldview is
3:11
biblical right and then in one of my
3:13
articles on my website I establish that
3:16
God exist and the Bible is his word now
3:19
I want I don't want to get into that
3:21
today because that's not what I'm here
3:22
to talk about okay that's not what I'm
3:24
here to talk about as I was saying at
3:27
the outset I want to let you know that
3:29
my worldview is biblical okay and why do
3:32
I believe this is right because it's
3:35
it's from the word of God and as a
3:38
person your job is to determine is the
3:40
god of the Bible the true God and if it
3:42
he is then whatever he says is true so
3:46
that's my basis for speaking tonight all
3:49
right so what what do I want to talk
3:51
about I want to talk about something
3:52
that has been occurring in my life and
3:54
it's hard for me to like wrap my head
3:56
around it and trying to figure out a way
3:58
to like convey it but I'm going to give
3:59
you some examples and I'm going to
4:01
elaborate on it right like several years
4:03
ago I was in Togo uh you know obviously
4:06
you can tell that I'm not American right
4:08
if you can tell I don't know um so in
4:11
2000 I was still in Togo I came here in
4:13
2001 right and in 2000 uh the election
4:17
was between George Bush Senior and Al
4:21
Gore right Al Gore so I was told back
4:24
then in Togo in 2000
4:26
that uh rep uh Republicans are racist
4:30
and they hate black people and then the
4:33
Democrat are for the black people
4:35
they're the one that love black people
4:36
so I'm sitting there in Togo I've never
4:39
stepped in the US I mean i' I watched
4:41
CNN and it was hard for us to understand
4:43
what they were saying you was they were
4:44
talking so fast so I'm watching the news
4:47
I'm watching the election I want alore
4:49
to win because I'm I've been told that
4:52
if alore wins that it is good for
4:54
immigrant it is it is good for people
4:56
who look like me so the entire time I
4:58
was watching and when when lost I was
5:00
mad and pissed off and I wasn't even in
5:02
the country yet I was pretty mad because
5:05
to me I'm like oh Bush won that's not
5:09
good for black people right that's one
5:10
thing okay and I'm going to get to why
5:13
I'm saying all this in a minute now fast
5:15
forward that like I came to this country
5:16
in 2001 and then I used to work at mongi
5:19
College as a um as a tutor math tutor I
5:23
was teaching math right and then one day
5:26
uh I remember being behind the desk and
5:29
one of my teacher friend came with a
5:31
student a student who was African from
5:34
my country you know and then she told me
5:36
in front of him she goes hey he's taking
5:39
a test in the lab and I do not want you
5:41
to help him he cannot get any help on
5:43
this test this is a test or and he the
5:46
guy was in front of me right at the time
5:47
I was like in my probably mid 20s or
5:50
early 20s I can't recall and the dude
5:52
was probably like 45 50 you know so he
5:55
listens to this and as soon as she steps
5:57
out the guy comes to me and goes Hey
5:59
listen
6:00
can you help me with this work work in
6:02
my language he goes like this
6:06
hey and I told him I man in my
6:12
language and he looks to me he
6:18
goes basically tells me don't worry
6:21
about that woman you help
6:24
me and I'm sitting there like I looked
6:27
at him I said no I'm not going to help
6:28
you he got mad at me and pretty much
6:30
treated me with all kind of names say
6:32
that I wasn't looking out for a brother
6:33
from from
6:35
Togo now what really makes me mad is his
6:37
arrogance not only is he old but his
6:40
presumption he's assuming just because
6:43
I'm Black and I'm from Togo then I'm
6:45
supposed to help him even though he goes
6:47
against righteousness you see what I'm
6:50
saying he wants me to cheat and help him
6:53
and his reason is yeah you are from my
6:55
country so you should help me out okay
6:57
now keep listening to to my anex as I'm
7:00
giving you the story now another thing
7:01
that I want to talk about is that uh um
7:05
it's it's something that has occurred
7:06
again um in my interaction with people
7:10
right like uh I
7:12
remember uh one of my friends right
7:15
before covid right the whole Dei thing
7:19
was really going rampant it was a lot of
7:21
things like that and he told me listen I
7:24
think this company should hire you
7:25
because that would be a great diversity
7:28
hire for them you in other words let
7:30
them hire you
7:32
because uh maybe you may not have the
7:34
qualification but it'll be good for them
7:36
to hire you because you look black you
7:38
black and therefore that'll be a great
7:39
diversity higher for them they will have
7:42
representation right that's another
7:44
thing and then another uh example is
7:47
this like I remember being approached by
7:49
Google and I have like two website that
7:52
I do business with the first one he
7:54
House of kicks where I do shoes and the
7:55
other one is uh is my math um website
7:58
where I toor it's called proma success
8:01
so I was approached by Google and they
8:02
asked me Google asked me hey do you mind
8:05
if we put uh on your business black own
8:10
business do you want us to do that for
8:12
you and I said to Google I don't want
8:14
that on my thing I don't want to be
8:16
known for being a blackowned business
8:19
not not like I'm I'm not ashamed of
8:21
being black that's not the point but I
8:23
don't want them to do that because it's
8:24
almost like they were trying
8:26
to I'm so crippled I can't really do so
8:29
they to help me I don't need your help I
8:30
don't need your pity right I didn't need
8:32
that and another example is this like
8:35
during the black lives matter movement
8:37
like when he he became really big at a
8:39
time like I remember writing an article
8:42
that was like way in probably let me see
8:44
if I can remember when I wrote the
8:45
article that was probably in 2 oh my
8:48
goodness I can't see the date of the
8:49
article oh 2020 July 11 2020 right I
8:53
wrote an article and the reason why I
8:55
wrote an article is because I the whole
8:57
black lives matter thing was bwing me a
8:59
whole lot like I was just like there's
9:00
something a right with these people so I
9:02
went to their website to see their
9:04
mission statement and I think they might
9:05
have taken out the mission statement now
9:07
but listen to what it says on their
9:09
website right black lives matter this is
9:11
what they believe in we are Guided by
9:13
the fact that all black lives matter
9:16
regardless of actual or perceived sexual
9:18
identity gender identity gender
9:21
expression economic status ability
9:23
disability religious beliefs or
9:25
disbeliefs immigration status or
9:27
location it sounds all good right
9:29
keep let me keep reading we make space
9:31
for transgender brothers and sisters to
9:35
participate in and Lead right we make
9:38
space for transgender brothers and
9:40
sisters to participate and Lead okay we
9:43
are self-reflexive and do and do the
9:46
work required to dismantle cisgender
9:48
privilege and uplift black Trans folk
9:52
this is what they want to uplift black
9:54
Trans folk especially black Trans women
9:58
right we continue to be
10:00
disproportionately impacted by trans
10:02
antagonistic violence we Foster a queer
10:06
affirming Network right when we gather
10:09
we do so with the intention of freeing
10:11
ourselves from the tight grip of
10:13
heteronormative thinking or rather the
10:16
belief that all in the world are
10:18
heterosexual unless she or they disclose
10:21
otherwise see that's what that was their
10:25
their uh mission statement right and to
10:28
me this is nonsense because is
10:29
diametrically opposed to what sacred
10:32
scripture teaches like I said in the
10:35
beginning I'm saying all this because
10:37
first we need to establish that God
10:39
exist and the Bible is his word now if
10:41
you want to see my my proof for that I
10:43
will give you a link in my description
10:45
to see why God exist and his word is
10:48
true and because that is true everything
10:51
else has to be filtered through the word
10:53
of God right so that's where we stand so
10:56
and I'm going to give you another
10:57
example I remember
10:59
um uh this gentleman on LinkedIn went
11:02
off on me because I told him I was like
11:05
I was I was telling him that the land of
11:07
Israel belongs to the Israelite and I
11:10
told him that I was a Zionist because
11:13
Paul the Apostle was a Zionist and he
11:15
went on this Rabbit Trail was telling me
11:17
calling me all kind of names and then
11:19
this is what a lot of people do they all
11:20
want to defend Palestine they all want
11:22
to be prop Palestines because they don't
11:25
understand history right they saying
11:26
they say that uh the Israelite stole the
11:29
land of uh of of the Palestinian but if
11:32
you go to Genesis 15 again go back to
11:34
scripture listen to what the scripture
11:36
says here the scripture says in Genesis
11:40
15 Verse 18 on that on the day the Lord
11:43
made a covenant with Abraham saying to
11:46
your descendants I have given this land
11:48
from the river of Egypt as far as the
11:50
Great River the river Euphrates the land
11:53
of the kenite the kazite theonite the
11:56
heite the perizzite the rame the am the
11:59
canite the Gite and the jebusite so God
12:02
gave them that land so I am not here
12:06
defending any kind of violence I'm just
12:09
saying this is their land it belongs to
12:10
them because the god of the universe who
12:12
by the way created all things gave it to
12:15
them this is their land so forget what
12:18
you think forget what you say forget how
12:20
you
12:21
feel God has spoken it is settled you
12:25
have nothing else to say Be quiet so we
12:27
don't establish Truth by way of
12:29
referendum we establish truth based on
12:31
what the Bible says
12:34
right so going back to my earlier point
12:36
I gave you a bunch of anecdotes about me
12:39
right so what I'm trying to get at is
12:41
this if your worldview is shaped by your
12:47
environment or where you grew up then
12:51
chances are you're going to think like
12:53
the way people who raise you think right
12:57
and you may not have critical thinking
13:01
skills which is much needed in our day
13:04
and age right because what happened is
13:06
this I told you that in Africa right now
13:09
right this whole big deal about pan
13:11
africanism and a lot of Africans believe
13:13
that um Christianity is a white man's
13:15
religion that they brought it to to
13:17
Africa and the colonizers came and
13:19
imposed this on us nonsense right if you
13:22
go back to the scripture the Ethiopians
13:25
were exposed to the scripture a long
13:28
time ago it has nothing to do with
13:29
colonizers and by the way Christianity
13:32
is not a white man's religion forget
13:34
what you heard I don't have time to get
13:35
into the details today but this is crazy
13:39
but this is how people think they think
13:41
that uh Donald Trump is racist because
13:45
that's why everybody believes in Africa
13:46
right now Donald Trump is racist right
13:49
and that Republicans are not for black
13:51
people and that uh if you're a black man
13:54
then you should vote Democrat it's not
13:56
just in the US even in Africa this is
13:58
the way
13:59
people think and people with Doctorate
14:00
Degrees and people that have like their
14:05
intellectual knowledge is incredible but
14:06
they also have this primitive way of
14:08
thinking to the point where now a lot of
14:10
Africans want to go back to the
14:11
ancestral worship primitive beliefs and
14:14
and religious beliefs like that and they
14:16
say well we want to do that because we
14:17
want to go back to the way it used to be
14:18
before the white man brought uh
14:21
Christianity to Africa nonsense again
14:24
this is why it's imperative that we
14:26
understand that God exist and the Bible
14:28
exist word see God does not evaluate a
14:31
person based on your social economic
14:33
status or whatever status you have God
14:36
is not going to look this is how we we
14:38
we paint this Society we we we we make
14:40
it seem like the poor or the
14:42
marginalized or the black or whoever the
14:45
person is that's in in in uh lower quote
14:48
unquote social status he's the one that
14:51
um God or people should look out for
14:53
right but if you go back to the
14:55
scripture listen to what the scripture
14:56
says here in Exodus listen to this you
14:59
shall not fall in love no you shall not
15:03
fall in with the many to do evil nor
15:05
shall you bear witness in a lawsuit in a
15:08
lawsuit siding with the many so as to
15:11
pervert Justice you see just because uh
15:16
many people are quote unquote Pro black
15:19
or Pro marginalized or pro-immigration
15:22
uh Pro immigrant I'm an immigrant by the
15:25
way
15:26
right doesn't mean that you pervert
15:28
Justice
15:29
listen to what the scripture says in
15:30
Exodus
15:32
23:3 nor shall you be partial to a poor
15:35
man in his lawsuit see God cares about
15:39
truth and righteousness in God's economy
15:42
he has nothing to do with the color of
15:44
your skin this is not how God operate he
15:46
doesn't say well you know why you're
15:48
black so therefore because you're black
15:51
you can do all types of crazy stuff you
15:53
can be a criminal but because you're
15:55
black I'm going to side with you
15:59
imagine being in front of God and tell
16:01
God telling God well well well God you
16:03
need to understand that I'm black so
16:05
therefore before you say anything I'm
16:07
black
16:09
first you think God cares about that God
16:13
is going to evaluate you based on his
16:20
law let me say that again God is going
16:24
to evaluate you based on his law he's
16:27
going to compare you based on what his
16:30
truth says regardless of where you grew
16:33
up regardless of
16:35
where I don't like regardless of your
16:38
background he's going to evaluate you
16:40
based on his word and his law if you
16:44
don't believe me go to Romans 1 let me
16:47
read you a scripture here right this is
16:49
a scripture that caused a lot of people
16:51
to lose their mind because they can't
16:53
believe that God would do that listen to
16:54
what the scripture say in Romans 1 right
16:57
God is addressing
16:59
people and let let me read you this for
17:01
the wrath of God starting from Verse 18
17:05
is revealed from Heaven against what all
17:09
ungodliness and unrighteousness of
17:11
people who suppress the truth in
17:12
unrighteousness see the scripture didn't
17:14
say the wrath of God is revealed from
17:17
Heaven against all white people or all
17:21
rich people or all poor people or all
17:25
black people or all you fill in the
17:27
blank that's not what God says in his
17:29
word so it doesn't matter what your skin
17:32
looks like it doesn't matter whether
17:34
you're rich poor right the scripture
17:37
says the wrath of God is revealed from
17:40
Heaven against what all
17:44
ungodliness that's what God is against
17:46
all ungodliness and unrighteousness of
17:50
people who suppress the truth in
17:52
unrighteousness now what is that truth
17:55
that they suppress the scripture is
17:57
going to give us the answer in verse 19
17:59
because that which is known about God is
18:02
evident within
18:03
them right meaning they reject the fact
18:08
that God existence is
18:11
true right because that which is known
18:15
about God is evident God say it's plain
18:17
look around we didn't come from nothing
18:20
cuz out of nothing comes out nothing
18:23
right and the scripture says for God
18:25
himself has made it evident to them
18:27
meaning God made sure that you
18:29
understand that he
18:30
exist so you can't claim well I didn't
18:33
know the gun was loaded I didn't know I
18:34
didn't have enough proof you basically
18:36
calling God a liar when you say that
18:39
listen to what the scripture says for
18:41
since the creation of the world his
18:43
invisible attribute that is his eternal
18:46
power and divine nature having clearly
18:48
perceived being understood by what has
18:51
been made so that they are without
18:53
excuse meaning God has given you plenty
18:56
of proof for his existence so you are
18:58
not you don't have an excuse you can't
19:00
say I didn't know you existed you can't
19:03
claim that in front of God agnostic oh I
19:05
didn't know you I just didn't have
19:07
enough proof you actually calling God a
19:09
liar but listen to what the scripture
19:11
says in verse 21 for even though the
19:13
knew God they did not honor him as God
19:17
or give thanks but they became feudal in
19:19
their reasoning and their foolish Hearts
19:21
were darkened claiming to be wise they
19:24
became fools and they exchanged the
19:26
glory of The Incorruptible God for an
19:28
image in the form of corruptible mankind
19:31
of bird four-footed animals and crawling
19:34
creatures therefore listen to what God
19:36
does because people have rejected him he
19:40
gave them up to impurity and the lust of
19:43
their heart meaning he says you want to
19:45
reject me you want to reject my
19:47
existence then have at it I'm going to
19:49
leave you to your own devices so that
19:51
their bodies will be Dishonored among
19:53
men among them for they exchang the
19:55
truth of God for a lie see ultimately
19:59
that's what happens when you reject God
20:02
then you believe the lie and this is
20:04
what's happening to a lot of people in
20:06
the Democratic Plantation right they
20:08
believe the lie now I'm not sitting here
20:10
saying that Republicans are Saints but
20:13
matter of fact I'm not voting for Jesus
20:16
to go to the White House that's not what
20:18
I'm voting for but I'm voting for things
20:19
that are close to what I believe are
20:22
righteous because all these people that
20:25
are in the White House are flawed humans
20:27
they have flawed
20:29
I can't put my trust in it but if I'm
20:31
going to vote I'm going to go with what
20:33
I believe is
20:35
scriptural not the way I feel but what
20:38
the scripture tells
20:40
me because like I said again your world
20:42
view so is so important because if you
20:45
do not have a Biblical worldview then
20:46
you are you leave yourself open to what
20:49
whatever goes now if you don't believe
20:51
what I'm saying is Right investigate the
20:53
the the the truth of my statement right
20:56
don't reject me I at least check check
20:59
to see if what I'm saying is true do
21:01
your homework
21:02
right so God gave them over because they
21:06
extend the truth of God for a lie and
21:08
worshiped and served the creature rather
21:11
than the Creator who is blessed forever
21:13
for this reason again God gave them over
21:16
to degrading passions for their women
21:19
exchanged natural relations for that
21:21
which is contrary to Nature and likewise
21:24
The Man Too abandoned natural relations
21:26
with women and burned
21:29
in their desire towards one another male
21:32
with males committing shameful acts and
21:35
receiving their own persons to Due
21:37
penalty of their
21:39
Terror you see so when you reject that
21:43
he giv you over to a reprobate mind
21:45
meaning now you do vile things this is
21:47
why you have homosexuals on both side
21:50
you have this transgender crap and all
21:53
the nonsense that we've seen because of
21:56
that so going back to what I'm talking
21:58
about God does not evaluate you based on
22:01
your skin color your social status he
22:04
evaluates you based on his word his
22:06
truth so instead of wasting time sitting
22:11
there they don't like us they don't like
22:13
us they don't like us oh yeah we're
22:15
black I mean black people you you I mean
22:17
I've lived in this kind for like 244
22:20
years and I'm telling you I'm sickened
22:21
by what I
22:22
see it's almost like laziness
22:29
lack of discipline all types of sinful
22:33
acts we Delight in that we love
22:37
it right I'm not sitting here making it
22:40
uh white people look better because I've
22:43
already given you the word of God there
22:45
just as vile white people as black
22:47
people or Mexicans or whatever the thing
22:49
is because I'm not here talking about
22:51
skin color I'm not here talking about
22:53
you being marginalized I'm here talking
22:55
about do you know the truth of secred
22:57
scripture because God is not going to
22:59
evaluate you based on well I was black I
23:02
was white I was Mexican no he's going to
23:03
evaluate you based on his word did
23:06
you receive my son Jesus Christ as your
23:09
lord and savior and did that change the
23:11
way you live your life because truly
23:13
speaking if you believe the truth of SEC
23:16
secret scripture then your life is
23:18
transformed the scripture tells us you
23:19
are transformed by the renewing of your
23:21
mind because your mind is Warped this is
23:24
why you do the things that you do this
23:26
is why people believe nonsense
23:31
and we do better as people to reject all
23:34
falsehood and actually investigate the
23:37
secret truths in the Bible now you can
23:41
be you can sit here and call me dogmatic
23:43
I don't really care because I know that
23:45
this is the truth and this is
23:47
objective now your job is to figure that
23:50
out ask God to show you and to open your
23:53
eyes you want to be woke right ask God
23:56
to do that for you
23:59
because I'm sicken by what I see and
24:02
coming from a different country and
24:03
coming here like I remember I used to
24:04
think you know when I became a US
24:07
citizen I I used to think it was lame to
24:09
like when the hymn was being sang I
24:12
didn't want to put my hand on my chest
24:13
because I'm like no I'm I'm I'm not
24:15
American I want to show I'm I'm an
24:16
immigrant you know I don't believe this
24:17
this is America is slavery and all these
24:20
things this country has done a lot of
24:21
good things for me so going forward that
24:24
I say no when the him is being saying
24:26
I'm going to put my hand here I'm going
24:27
to respect
24:29
I'm going to respect it because they've
24:31
G this country has given me a lot
24:32
because of God's grace so I'm no longer
24:35
going to disrespect the flag or
24:36
disrespect anything about
24:39
it now if you think I'm a I don't really
24:42
care I don't have anything to prove to
24:43
you I don't care like seriously I
24:47
don't because what I'm afraid of is God
24:50
know you no more your opinion of me
24:52
that's irrelevant I may leave for
24:54
another 20 or 40 years who knows I'm
24:55
going to die and I don't want to face
24:57
God
24:58
knowing that I knew the truth and I did
25:01
not believe it no I want to know the
25:03
truth that's more important to me
25:04
because your eternity is in is at
25:08
stake you're going to be in
25:10
Hell burning
25:13
forever
25:16
doomed you know so I don't really care
25:19
what you think of me seriously I don't
25:22
so that's all I wanted to share today
25:24
like my whole I hope I I was able to
25:26
like give you enough sense to understand
25:28
saying
25:29
that your upbringing your background
25:33
where you grew up your world view is
25:35
important right see whether your
25:37
worldview
25:38
stand when compared to the word of God
25:41
that's what you have to do your
25:42
investigation where what you believe
25:44
does he line up with the word of God or
25:46
does he not if he doesn't line up with
25:47
the word of God then you have been
25:53
duped I'm so glad a lot of people are
25:55
waking up to this because they they seen
25:57
the real of believing nonsense and what
26:00
he led them to a depraved
26:03
mind so I'm hoping that this will help
26:05
you today all right so have a wonderful
26:07
day and I'll talk to you next time
