Truth & Knowledge – Episode 76: "Behavior Choice"
In this episode, Trey Knowles emphasizes that behavior is a personal choice and each individual is responsible for their actions. He discusses the importance of protecting ourselves and our families from sinful behavior, highlighting that both consequences and eternal outcomes—Heaven or Hell—are tied to our choices. Obedience, like self-control, is within every person’s reach. Ultimately, we are governed by our desires, but it is up to us to choose whether to follow them or to exercise control.

00:00Go to a quiet place and look at yourself in the mirror.
00:08Let's look at ourselves in the mirror.
00:10Let's focus on behavior.
00:13Behavior.
00:14Behavior is an action word.
00:17Physical, physical action word.
00:21Physical action word.
00:23When your physical action is on display, either it's going to be good or it's going to be sinful.
00:28So, what do I mean by sinful?
00:30Does this fit the character of God?
00:33Does it glorify God?
00:35Does it fit the will and purpose of God in your life?
00:40Behavior.
00:42And behavior is by choice.
00:45Okay, so I can make my arm move.
00:48I can make my hands and arms move.
00:51I can run.
00:52I can walk.
00:54I'm controlling all that by myself.
00:56And I choose to run.
00:58I choose to walk.
01:00So, I get to choose my behavior.
01:03I choose my behavior.
01:07Behavior is a physical action on display.
01:11I choose my behavior.
01:13I choose what I want to pick up.
01:16So, if I pick up something, I choose to do that, right?
01:18It's an action.
01:20That's a choice.
01:21So, behavior is a choice.
01:26Does your behavior glorify God?
01:28That's the question.
01:30You have to ask yourself that.
01:32But look at yourself in the mirror.
01:33I'm looking at myself in the mirror.
01:37Does my behavior fit the spirit of God?
01:41Does my physical action on display fit the character of God?
01:48Okay?
01:49And behavior is a choice.
01:53Right?
01:53What comes out of my mouth, does it fit the character of God?
01:58How I treat other people, does it fit the character of God?
02:03What am I doing?
02:04Does it fit the character of God?
02:06So, you have to ask yourself that.
02:07I'm looking at myself in the mirror.
02:10And behavior is a choice.
02:14Something you choose.
02:15No one is making you do it.
02:17You choose to do that.
02:20So, ask yourself.
02:21Does your behavior fit the glory?
02:25Does it glorify God?
02:27Behavior is a choice.
02:29Let's talk about it.
02:30I'm Trey Noles.

03:23Created by Trayvon.
03:25So, behavior is an action on display.
03:34An action on display.
03:36Even if I did not know God.
03:38Even if you did not know God.
03:40And just looked at nature.
03:43And just looked at science.
03:44And science is telling me.
03:49And nature is telling me.
03:51The animals on the planet is telling me.
03:54That homosexuality is wrong.
03:58If any person cannot see this.
04:01That means it is.
04:07It's a choice.
04:09That means their behavior is a choice.
04:13If you cannot see this.
04:17That means you're blind.
04:19And you're acting by choice.
04:22Or.
04:24It's some type of demonic force that's in you.
04:27But there's no more type of demonic force in you.
04:29It's by choice.
04:34So, even if you did not know God.
04:36And you looked at science.
04:37You looked at nature.
04:38And the animals are telling you that.
04:40No, no, no.
04:40We don't do this kind of stuff.
04:41The animals say we don't do this kind of stuff.
04:46This tells you that.
04:48It tells you that science and nature.
04:50And animals are telling you that homosexuality is wrong.
04:57So, even if you didn't know God.
04:59You are without excuse.
05:04And this is a behavior based on your choice.
05:10So, ladies and gentlemen.
05:12I will say homosexuality is a behavior by choice.
05:17And since it's by choice.
05:22There is no excuse.
05:24There's no excuse.
05:27Well, I didn't know.
05:30I don't know God.
05:33Nah.
05:34That's not an excuse.
05:35Because you said you didn't know God.
05:40That one behavior.
05:42This one behavior.
05:43Science, nature, animals.
05:50This is a behavior by choice.
05:55Everybody's behavior is by choice.
05:57But this one particular behavior.
05:59Common sense.
06:06Why do I say that?
06:07Why do I say it's by choice?
06:09It's a physical action by display.
06:15It's in your heart.
06:17You glorified it.
06:19You glorify this type of behavior.
06:23It's in your heart.
06:24You desired it.
06:25Because you desired it.
06:27And you continue to desire it.
06:29And you glorify it.
06:30That physical action is on display.
06:34It's a behavior.
06:36You choose to put that behavior on display.
06:39Inside your heart, you glorified it.
06:47This is the reason why I say this type of behavior you idolize.
06:54This is the type of behavior that you idolize.
06:57Any type of behavior that you do that is not right, you idolize it.
07:01You glorify it.
07:04If you watch certain behavior on television or at the movie theater or online,
07:12and you glorify that behavior, you idolize that behavior, that behavior is in your heart.
07:19You glorify it.
07:21You idolize it.
07:22If it's the opposite of God, if it's the opposite of God's character, if it's the opposite of God's nature,
07:33and you glorify it, and you idolize it, what is that telling you?
07:41What is that telling you?
07:46You glorify it and idolize it in something that does not belong to you.
07:50If it belongs to you, then you're saying that you don't belong to God.
07:56Those who belong to God does not like that type of behavior.
08:03What do we do?
08:06We crucify the flesh and live by the Spirit.
08:10If it does not fit the Spirit of God,
08:12and you glorify something that doesn't fit the Spirit of God,
08:18that means you're worshiping idols.
08:20You worship it.
08:22Now, I know some of you guys are saying,
08:25I don't worship idols.
08:25I don't pray to it.
08:27I'm not saying that you pray to it.
08:29I'm saying that you glorify it.
08:32You glorify it.
08:33If you glorify gun violence,
08:36you play with gun violence,
08:40you play in video games with gun violence,
08:42you pick up a gun,
08:45you're glorifying the action of whatever that thing is.
08:49You're glorifying the action of whatever behavior that thing is.
08:53So, you begin to worship it because you glorify.
08:57You only, what do you buy?
08:58If you buy something that you love,
09:01that means you glorify it.
09:03You idolize it.
09:07Does it fit the character of God?
09:09Does it glorify God?
09:11If it does not,
09:13it doesn't belong to God.
09:15But if it belongs to you,
09:16then you don't belong to God, you see.
09:20Because people that belong to God
09:21God does godly behavior.
09:33Think about this.
09:42Think about this.
09:48So, any type of behavior that you do
09:50that does not glorify God
09:51is an abomination.
09:59If you're a person that
10:00likes homosexual behavior,
10:04that is abomination.
10:07Abomination to nature,
10:08and it is abomination to the planet.
10:10It's abomination to God.
10:14Makes it even worse.
10:15So, even though
10:17if you don't know God,
10:19so if you claim that
10:19you don't know God,
10:21and this is the reason
10:22why you're stuck in that behavior,
10:25that you are out without
10:26excuse because
10:27science and nature
10:29is telling you
10:30that this type of behavior
10:32is abomination to the planet.
10:36So, people who have
10:38this type of behavior
10:41is perverted.
10:42and it went out
10:43excuse.
10:49Even though
10:50you do not
10:51do this type of behavior,
10:53even though you don't do
10:55that type of behavior
10:56of homosexuality
10:58or any other
10:59type of behavior,
11:00but you promote
11:00and you endorse
11:02the type of behavior,
11:05you are a god-hitter.
11:06Even though
11:09you don't do
11:09homosexuality,
11:10but you have a friend
11:11over here
11:12or a family member
11:14that does
11:15homosexuality
11:16and you promote
11:17their behavior
11:17and you endorse
11:19their behavior,
11:20you promote it on TV,
11:21you promote it in your music,
11:23you influence
11:24other people
11:24with it.
11:30Makes you a god-hitter.
11:32God don't promote
11:33bad behavior.
11:34God does not
11:36promote bad behavior.
11:37It is nowhere
11:38in the word of God
11:40where he promotes
11:41bad behavior
11:42and God does not tempt.
11:45People who are tempted
11:46is tempted
11:46by their own desires.
11:49God does not tempt you.
11:51God does not make you
11:52with bad behavior
11:54because bad behavior
11:55is a choice.
11:57Bad behavior
11:57is not a physical attribute.
12:00You see?
12:00Bad behavior
12:01is not a physical attribute.
12:02It is a physical action
12:06on display.
12:07A physical action
12:09on display
12:10controlled by you,
12:12the individual.
12:16So those who promote it,
12:19those who influence
12:20bad behavior
12:21are God-haters.
12:23Why do I say that?
12:24Because you encourage
12:25those
12:26who do
12:28bad behavior.
12:29you encourage
12:30those.
12:31You don't tell them
12:32that you're,
12:32no,
12:33that's not
12:33the right way.
12:34That is wrong.
12:36But you endorse
12:38that type of behavior.
12:42So,
12:43because you endorse
12:44that type of behavior
12:44means you're a god-hitter
12:45because God would
12:46never do that.
12:48God would never
12:49do that.
12:51So anybody
12:51endorse your type of,
12:53endorse your bad behavior,
12:55they're not for you.
12:58They are totally
12:58against you.
13:04And one more thing,
13:05not just homosexuality.
13:08Anybody endorse you
13:09to sin,
13:11it's not for you.
13:13And they're God-haters.
13:15If they endorse you
13:16to sin,
13:21and for women,
13:22if a man is telling you,
13:23yes,
13:23you got the dance
13:24over here
13:25and you got to
13:25shake your little
13:26boom-boom,
13:27you know,
13:28to get the job,
13:30they endorsing you
13:31to sin.
13:32They don't care about you.
13:35They endorsing you
13:36to sin.
13:42You're trying to get
13:43a record deal.
13:45Right?
13:46You do music,
13:47try to get a record deal,
13:47but the music
13:49coming and telling you,
13:50you have to
13:51portray yourself
13:52in a negative light.
13:55Influence other people
13:56with sinful nature
13:57that's not part of you.
13:59They don't care about you.
14:01They're God-haters.
14:04Influencing you
14:04to sin,
14:05influence,
14:06they want you
14:06to influence others
14:07to sin.
14:10That type of behavior
14:11does not come
14:12from God.
14:13If you can protest
14:18against financial
14:19struggles,
14:21what do I mean
14:21by this?
14:22I mean,
14:22you're going down
14:23in Washington,
14:24D.C.,
14:25you're going down
14:26to your government
14:27and you're protesting,
14:28you're going against
14:29your financial struggles,
14:30right?
14:32You don't get,
14:32there's not enough jobs,
14:35how you're going
14:35to pay your bills?
14:37But if you can protest
14:38against that,
14:39that cannot give you life,
14:41why you cannot
14:42protest against
14:43sinful behavior?
14:44Why you can't
14:45protest about
14:46sinful behavior?
14:50Why you can't
14:51protest and tell
14:52everybody in the
14:53United States
14:53to repent
14:55from their sin
14:57and get sinful
14:59behavior out of
15:00your classrooms,
15:01out of your schools
15:02and go against
15:04gun violence?
15:07Take away
15:08sexual immorality
15:09away from the
15:10television
15:10so it cannot
15:12be seen
15:13in your
15:14networks
15:15so people
15:15will be
15:16influenced
15:16by these
15:17sinful,
15:19wicked
15:19things,
15:22content.
15:22if you protest
15:28against financial
15:29struggles,
15:31why you cannot
15:32protest against
15:32sinful behavior?
15:34See,
15:35when you go to
15:35the doctor,
15:36you get an
15:37immunization shot,
15:38right?
15:38You get an
15:38immunization shot.
15:39Now,
15:39immunization shot
15:40was to protect
15:41you from,
15:41protect yourself
15:42from diseases,
15:43right?
15:44So you get a
15:44shot,
15:46it was to
15:46protect you
15:47from diseases,
15:48protect you
15:49from getting
15:49ill,
15:52getting sick,
15:54it saved your
15:55life.
15:56But why not
15:57get an
15:57immunization shot
15:58that protects
15:59you from,
16:00protects yourself
16:01from sinful
16:02nature?
16:03Get a shot
16:04that protects
16:05you from the
16:06sinful nature.
16:08Protect your
16:09heart and your
16:09mind from the
16:10sinful nature
16:12and that
16:13that
16:14immunization shot
16:15is the word of
16:16God.
16:18So there's a
16:18way that seemed
16:19right to man,
16:20but at the
16:20end it leads
16:20to destruction.
16:22And so do
16:23you love
16:23destruction?
16:25You got to
16:26ask yourself
16:26that.
16:28You got to
16:28ask yourself
16:29that.
16:29Do you love
16:29destruction?
16:33What do I
16:33mean by
16:34protest?
16:38Protest.
16:42You protest
16:42against your
16:44financial struggles
16:45against you
16:46nowhere.
16:48It cannot
16:49produce life.
16:51But if you
16:51protest against
16:52your sinful
16:52behavior, that
16:53produces life
16:54for you.
16:56You're building
16:57up the
16:58kingdom of
16:58God.
17:01Behavior is a
17:02physical action
17:03on display.
17:05What are you
17:06doing?
17:08What are you
17:09participating in?
17:13Is your
17:13physical actions
17:14on display
17:15glorifying God?
17:18Is your
17:19physical actions
17:20on display
17:21glorifying God?
17:23In other
17:24words, is your
17:24behavior glorifying
17:25God?
17:27Is what
17:28coming out of
17:28my mouth
17:29glorifying God?
17:30What am I
17:31doing towards
17:32someone else?
17:34Is it glorifying
17:34God?
17:35What am I doing
17:37to myself?
17:38Is it glorifying
17:39God?
17:40does it fit the
17:43character of
17:44God?
17:45Does it glorify
17:47God?
17:49If it does not
17:50fit the character
17:51of God, then it
17:53needs to change.
17:55I need to
17:56repent.
17:57We need to
17:58repent.
17:59And repent
17:59means to
18:00change.
18:03Change.
18:04Change.
18:04and get
18:08back to our
18:08natural state.
18:09Get back to
18:10the natural
18:11state of
18:12life.
18:14Get back to
18:15obedience to
18:16God.
18:18Give back
18:19and live in
18:22obedience to
18:22God.
18:23the behavior
18:25is by
18:25choice.
18:27So if your
18:28behavior is by
18:28choice and my
18:29behavior is by
18:30choice, the
18:32only person that
18:32can change the
18:33behavior is me
18:34and you.
18:37So if your
18:38behavior is by
18:39choice, only
18:40person that can
18:40change it is me
18:42or you.
18:44Only person I
18:44can change my
18:45behavior is me.
18:46Only person I
18:47can change your
18:47behavior is you.
18:53For example, why do I say that?
18:57Change your behavior or die.
18:59This is the choice.
19:02Why do I say that?
19:06Change your behavior or die.
19:08That's why I'm saying change your behavior.
19:10This is the choice here.
19:11I've got two choices.
19:11Change your behavior or die.
19:15So it's you that can make that choice.
19:17I can change my behavior or I can die.
19:20This is the choice.
19:21Change my behavior.
19:23Right?
19:23So if I change my behavior, it means I'm not going to die.
19:26If I don't change my behavior, I'm going to die.
19:29This is a choice that I have to make.
19:32This is a choice that you have to make.
19:34No one can do that for you.
19:35No one's controlling you.
19:39I can move my hands.
19:41I can move my arms.
19:42I can move my feet.
19:43I can walk.
19:44I can run.
19:44No one's controlling me.
19:50I can choose to eat.
19:52I have control.
19:56I have self-control.
19:57I have control.
19:58So if I have control, then behavior is a choice.
20:05So here's two choices.
20:08Change your behavior or die.
20:12Pay taxes or no tax.
20:16Which one do you want?
20:17No taxes or pay taxes?
20:18No.
20:22The choice is yours.
20:24You want to pay taxes or no taxes?
20:27Because you have common sense.
20:29Because you have common sense.
20:32Your guilt is so great.
20:37Your guilt is so great.
20:38You broad of evil doers.
20:42Your children is given into the corrupted behavior.
20:48Your children in the world have gave themselves to corrupted behavior.
20:53Your children in this nation, the nation, the United States, have gave themselves to corrupted behavior.
21:03What do I mean by that?
21:05Your children have given themselves to corrupted behavior.
21:09That means your children are doing the same sinful acts as you evil doers do.
21:16And you do not correct your children.
21:18You do not correct these children.
21:19Repent.
21:21Oh.
21:23Little Billy is gay.
21:24Oh.
21:25He was born like that.
21:26No, he was not.
21:28Such and such is no.
21:31No.
21:37That guy even said it's by choice, right?
21:40Well, since it's by choice, you have a choice.
21:45Repent or die.
21:48Woe to any nation who does evil behavior.
21:54If your nation accepts this evil behavior, if your nation accepts evil behavior, homosexuality and killing and murdering, if your nation accepts evil behavior, woe to them.
22:12And they got a choice.
22:16Repent or die.
22:18Change their evil behavior or die.
22:19That's a choice.
22:21That's a choice.
22:23Behavior is a choice.
22:25And since behavior is a choice, you have two choices.
22:28Change your evil behavior or die.
22:30It is simple, simple, simple, simple.
22:41If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person.
22:46Anyone destroys God's temple, this is the temple, right?
22:49God wants to be with you.
22:51He wants to be with you.
22:53God is our father.
22:56God is our friend.
22:57And he wants to be with you.
23:00He wants to be with you, the individual.
23:03He wants to live in you.
23:04In fact, it is God's breath that we breathe.
23:10It is God's breath that we breathe.
23:12And because we breathe the breath of God, we must live in the temple of God.
23:21So, just knowing that it's the breath that God, that this breath, it's God's breath that breathes inside of you.
23:31It's God's breath that you're alive.
23:33So, thank God every day and live for God.
23:42Because God can take your breath just like this if you wanted to.
23:45Just like that.
23:47One, two, three, you're out.
23:48You're gone.
23:50So, it is by grace, it is by mercy that you are alive right now.
23:55It's grace and by mercy that I'm alive right now today.
23:59But if anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person.
24:04So, consider this your life right now with probation.
24:09Probation to get it right.
24:12For God's temple is sacred.
24:15And you together are the temple.
24:18All right?
24:19So, together, us, all of us together, including myself, me, my body, my mind, everything about me is the temple of God.
24:28It is sacred.
24:30What comes out of my mouth, my behavior, everything is sacred to the glory of God.
24:36And if anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person.
24:42Behavior is a choice.
24:46So, the choice is yours.
24:50The choice is yours.
24:55Change your behavior or die.
24:59I'm Trey Nose.
25:01And thank you for watching.
25:02Truth and knowledge.
25:05Grace and peace.
25:07Until next time.
