00:02Is the cross insulting?
00:07That is a good question.
00:10If I die for you, if I die to save you, but you don't live according to my purpose, and
00:20you represent me the wrong way, then my death was for nothing.
00:25That is insulting.
00:28That is insulting.
00:30But if I was killed, if I was killed, and my killers said, you can follow me and die the
00:39same way, that is insulting.
00:43Because they're telling you that you don't need life.
00:50Represent me.
00:51Be like me.
00:52Take up your cross and follow me, and you can die the same way.
00:56You can die the same way if your enemy is telling you that.
01:02That is insulting.
01:04That is insulting.
01:06So is the cross insulting?
01:10Let's ask how many people have died on a cross.
01:16How many people have been hung on a tree?
01:20Is the cross insulting?
01:23Does this represent God?
01:25Said, I want you to die on a tree.
01:28I want you to be hanged.
01:30Take up your cross and follow me.
01:31Die the same way.
01:33This type of thinking is insulting to the maker.
01:37And this could not be the maker's way.
01:41So when an enemy tells you, I'm going to hang you on a tree, don't you want to be like
01:46Jesus?
01:48Is the cross insulting?
01:52If you represent Jesus the wrong way, that means you don't carry out his spirit, his character, but you carry
01:59the cross.
02:01Who are you following if you're not following his spirit?
02:05That's insulting.
02:07It's insulting to carry a cross, but live the opposite of the spirit of God.
02:14So that's insulting.
02:19Because you're making fun of my death.
02:21You're making fun of my death.
02:22You represent me in the wrong way.
02:24It's like you're killing me over and over and over.
02:29Are you worth saving?
02:36Are you a killer?
02:38Are you a killer?
02:41You enjoy carrying a cross?
02:44On your neck?
02:47Of a man?
02:49Hanging on a tree?
02:50A man?
02:52If you shot me five times, are you going to carry a symbol of a gun and me being shot
02:58five times?
03:00That's insulting.
03:01You're making fun of my death.
03:04You don't represent me by showing me that I've been hanged or I've been nailed to a tree.
03:12You represent me when you're able to follow my spirit, my character.
03:19Do you follow the Father?
03:22If you don't do none of these things, it is insulting.
03:25That cross is insulting.
03:28Because you're making fun of me.
03:30You're making fun of Yeshua.
03:33If you're not living based on his spirit, his character.
03:39So is the cross insulting?
03:41That is a good question.
03:42To answer that question, what does the cross mean to you?
03:47The cross means death.
03:50The cross means death.
03:52But there are two types of deaths.
03:55Let's talk about it.
03:57I'm Trey Noles.
03:59And welcome to Truth and Knowledge.
04:02Is the cross insulting?
04:07Truth and Knowledge.
04:09Truth and Knowledge.
04:14Transformation.
04:15Reborn again.
04:18Brand new in Yeshua.
04:21Recognition.
04:22Yeshua is Lord.
04:26The joy of the Lord is my salvation.
04:31The righteousness of the Lord is my substance.
04:38Truth and Knowledge.
04:40Truth and Knowledge.
04:42Welcome to Truth and Knowledge.
04:45Created by Trey Noles.
04:49Truth and Knowledge.
04:52Truth and Knowledge.
04:53Ooh.
04:57Created by Trey Noles.
05:01The cross means death.
05:04It means death.
05:07They put criminals on a cross.
05:10They put people that they hate on a cross to kill them.
05:14That's what the Roman people did.
05:16The Romans did that.
05:18They hang people on crosses.
05:20Either they was criminal or they just didn't like them.
05:23Or they put slaves on a cross.
05:26The cross means death.
05:28So when they put you on a cross, they mean to kill you.
05:30It's a way of put you to death.
05:33That's what the cross means.
05:34It means death.
05:36It means death, death, death, death, death, death, death.
05:41They put you on a cross.
05:42It means the death.
05:43They want to kill you.
05:43There are two types of deaths.
05:46There's a physical death and the spiritual death.
05:50The physical death, they put you on a cross.
05:54That's the physical death.
05:56And there's a spiritual death.
05:58The ways of the colonizer, which means the fleshly desires of the heart.
06:02The ways of the colonizer, which means fleshly desires of the heart.
06:07That means the spiritual death is you denying the ways of the colonizer.
06:14That is the spiritual death, denying the ways of the colonizer.
06:17You want to be the opposite of the devil.
06:20You want to be the opposite of the enemy.
06:25And accepting the ways of God.
06:27The colonizer cannot accept the ways of God.
06:29He follows Satan.
06:32The colonizer follows Satan.
06:33So if you're following the colonizer, you need to have a spiritual death.
06:39You need to deny the ways of the colonizer.
06:42The physical death, the colonizer puts you on a tree to hang you.
06:47The colonizer puts you on a tree to hang you.
06:52So the fleshly desires of the heart, you want the things that the colonizer is offering you.
07:00When it came to money, when it comes to the United States money, God didn't produce that.
07:06You want his money.
07:07You want everything that he represents.
07:10Now, so the fleshly desires of the heart, you begin to be like the colonizer.
07:16What do I mean by spiritual death?
07:19It is written in Matthew 16, 24.
07:22Then Yeshua told his disciples, if anyone who comes after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross
07:30and follow me.
07:32Take up his cross and follow me.
07:36That doesn't mean physical death.
07:39Take up my crosses.
07:40We're talking about physical death.
07:42We're talking about denying the ways of the world.
07:44We're talking about denying the ways of the colonizer.
07:47Take up your cross.
07:50Deny.
07:52Deny.
07:53Deny.
07:55Deny yourself.
07:56Yeshua is telling you, if anyone who comes after me must deny himself and take up his cross and follow
08:03Yeshua.
08:05Deny the ways of the colonizer.
08:10Why is Yeshua telling you this?
08:11He said, I did not produce this.
08:15Take up your cross.
08:17We're not talking about physical death.
08:19But die to the ways of the colonizer.
08:23Die to the ways of the world.
08:25So the world accepted the colonizer's way.
08:28So Yeshua said, I didn't produce that.
08:30That is not the way of the father.
08:32Deny that way.
08:36The colonizer's way of life.
08:38What do I mean by that?
08:40To deny yourself the means of the colonizer.
08:43What do I mean by that?
08:46To deny yourself means to deny your flesh and desires.
08:49To deny the colonizer's way of life.
08:51The colonizer's way of life.
08:53What do I mean by that?
08:54Well, Matthew 16, 26 says,
08:57For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeit his soul?
09:09See, all these guys on Wall Street, all these rich guys, they chase after money.
09:16They chase after oil.
09:18They chase after your resources and your country.
09:21They're willing to destroy you, kill you.
09:26And so they can sell your resources to other people.
09:31So they can get a gang.
09:33They don't care about the afterlife.
09:36They don't care about anything spiritual.
09:43This is the colonizer's way of life.
09:47He's always thinking about gaining a profit.
09:51God didn't create a world like that.
09:54Everything was free.
09:56Everything was free.
09:58When you, depending on God, everything is free.
10:01Look at the animals.
10:02They're living free.
10:02But you're not living free because you're living in the way of the colonizer.
10:06Would it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?
10:10Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?
10:13What can he give in return for his soul?
10:14Not money.
10:16But live in the way of Yeshua.
10:20Deny yourself.
10:21Deny yourself.
10:25Now, these rich people that you see in the news,
10:27these rich people you see in the organizations,
10:30the rich people you see
10:33trying to steal your resource and gain your land.
10:39Are they denying themselves?
10:42And see, when the devil tempted Jesus,
10:44he's like, I give you the world.
10:49And others are like, oh, no, we take the, give it to me.
10:52Give it to me, Satan.
10:53Give it to me.
10:53Give me the world, Satan.
10:54Give me the world.
10:55I want to gain a profit.
10:59And Jesus, Yeshua told, told Satan, no.
11:04I obey the father who's in heaven.
11:06I don't care about your wall street.
11:08I don't care about none of that stuff.
11:11I depend on the father who's in heaven.
11:16And so when you carry that cross
11:21of a person nailed to the cross
11:24and you don't live the way
11:26that they attend for you to live,
11:28they don't depend on the father,
11:30but you're doing evil.
11:34It is insulting.
11:36It's like you're killing Yeshua all over again,
11:39over and over and over and over.
11:40That's insulting.
11:41So is the cross insulting?
11:42Yes, it is insulting.
11:44The physical cross.
11:46But you got the spiritual cross.
11:49It's not insulting.
11:56You see gangsters.
11:58You see mafia having crosses and doing such evil.
12:01That is insulting.
12:07This is the spiritual death where I take up my cross
12:10and follow Yeshua's way of life.
12:13When I follow Yeshua's way of life,
12:16that is the spiritual death.
12:19Which is God the father's way of life
12:21instead of following the life of the colonizer.
12:25The life of the world.
12:28And the people that carry the people that carry the cross
12:30selling drugs and gangbanging and murdering.
12:35That's not the way.
12:36That's insulting.
12:41The spiritual death is living by the spirit of God.
12:50I take up my cross and I deny the way of the colonizer.
12:58I mean, I don't want to get rich.
13:01That's your way of life.
13:03I don't want to get rich.
13:04That is your way of life.
13:06I'm denying that way of life.
13:09And you're following the way of Yeshua.
13:12Which is the way, the truth, and the life.
13:16I follow the way of Yeshua.
13:18In this way, the cross is not insulting.
13:21When I'm following Yeshua's way, it's not insulting.
13:25What is insulting about the cross?
13:27The physical death of the cross is insulting.
13:32The physical death of the cross is insulting.
13:34So you know what?
13:36You want to be just like Yeshua?
13:37You want to be just like your savior?
13:40Let me take your black ass and put you on a tree.
13:42Let me hang you to death.
13:44That is insulting.
13:46What the KKK does, that is insulting.
13:49The physical death of the cross is insulting.
13:53Because you're giving power to the murderers.
13:55You're giving power to the colonizers.
13:58For my Lord desires mercy and not sacrifice.
14:04He desires mercy and not sacrifice.
14:10He desires mercy, right?
14:12He says, I love you.
14:14I came to save you from the colonizer.
14:16I love you.
14:18I came to give you life and save you from them, from the colonizer.
14:24I desire mercy.
14:25I forgive you.
14:27I don't want you to die.
14:29But I want you to be saved from the colonizer.
14:31I want you to follow my father who's in heaven.
14:34I want you to follow me the right way.
14:35Take up your cross.
14:36Deny the way of the colonizer.
14:42If you have known what these words mean, I'm talking to the colonizers who call themselves Christians.
14:52If you have known what these words mean, I'm talking to the colonizers who call themselves Christians.
14:57I desire mercy, not sacrifice.
15:00I don't desire anybody to die.
15:03I don't desire anybody to be put on the tree.
15:07KKK.
15:12If you have, if you was true Christians and you know what these words mean, you would have not condemned
15:18the innocent.
15:19The colonizers would not have condemned the innocent.
15:25And you go back in the history, you see the, these people that call themselves Christians.
15:30Did they live by the way of the world?
15:32I mean, did they live by the way of Christ?
15:34Or did they live by their sinful desires?
15:39Their flesh.
15:41You know them by their fruits because they was into killing, killing, killing, killing, killing.
15:46And they carried the cross.
15:48And they said they were Christians.
15:52And they did all this killing and murdering in the name of Yeshua.
15:59And then they come to your country and they condemn the innocent.
16:03And they say that something is wrong with you.
16:11In those days, in the days of Romans, in the days of Rome, they put people to death on a
16:20cross.
16:20Mostly slaves and criminals.
16:23The majority of people killed on the cross by Romans were indigenous people.
16:27Dark-skinned people with color.
16:30Why is this important to know?
16:32And why am I telling you this?
16:34This is important to know because history repeats itself.
16:40Our Lord came to save us from the colonizer.
16:43What do the KKK do?
16:46Put you on trees.
16:47Hang you on trees.
16:49This is why it is important.
16:50This is why Yeshua says, if they did it to me, if they put me on a cross, if they
16:58treated me in the wrong way, if they spit on me and they did all this bad stuff to me,
17:02they will do it to you.
17:04And this is why they do this stuff to black people, people of color.
17:10They hang you on trees.
17:13And they carry crosses, right?
17:15They carry a cross.
17:16The KKK, they have a cross.
17:18They symbolize it as a cross.
17:19And they put you on a tree.
17:21That is insulting.
17:24Remember the word that I have said to you, Yeshua has said to you, a servant is not greater than
17:30his Lord.
17:32So if we're servants of the Lord and they put him on a cross, they're going to do you the
17:38same way.
17:39A servant is not greater than his Lord.
17:43Now, so if you like their way of life, then you're okay.
17:47But if you don't like their way of life and you teach the opposite, you know, a servant is not
17:51greater than his master.
17:52If they hated the Lord, they're going to hate you too.
17:55If they hated Yeshua, they're going to hate you too.
17:56If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.
18:00So wait a minute.
18:01He said, if they persecuted me, they will persecute you also.
18:07So you carry a cross on your neck.
18:09You carry a cross on your neck.
18:13And you think that's not insulting.
18:16A cross of a dead man hanging on a tree.
18:19And he said, if they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.
18:23Why are they going to persecute you?
18:25Either they hate you without reason because of the color of your skin.
18:31So they want to hang you on a tree.
18:35Or they know that you don't belong to them.
18:39But these people that does the putting people on the trees and doing all these bad things, they say they're
18:45Christian.
18:45How can they be Christian?
18:47Some of them carry a cross.
18:49This is insulting.
18:50This is insulting to my Lord and Savior.
19:00See, no servant is greater than his Lord.
19:04If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.
19:07If they kept my things, they will keep yours also.
19:13Yeshua is telling you this, John 15, 20.
19:15He's telling you this.
19:16If they keep my words, they will also keep yours.
19:18Because if you're just like him, if you are just like him, they're not going to like you.
19:28If they hated him without reason, they're going to hate you without reason.
19:31And they're going to hang you on a tree.
19:32Why do the KKK hang black people on crosses?
19:36Because the KKK belongs to the same entity.
19:39They belong to the devil.
19:43The KKK belongs to the same entity as the devil.
19:48The cross means death.
19:52So that cross is insulting.
19:54If you're not living by the way of Yeshua, it's insulting.
20:00It's like you're killing me all over.
20:01Like I died for nothing.
20:02I came here to save you.
20:03But what you doing?
20:05What you doing?
20:06You saying, oh, you represent me by, you represent me.
20:09No, you're going to represent me in your spirit, not by a symbol, not by an idol of a cross.
20:14You're not representing me?
20:17That's insulting.
20:18You're making fun of my death.
20:24The cross means death.
20:27It is insulting because it is saying to indigenous people, I don't want your kind of life on my planet.
20:35So then colonizer says, you know what?
20:37I'm going to put you to death.
20:39You want to be just like your savior?
20:41I'm going to put you to death.
20:42I don't want your way of life on my planet.
20:44They said, the colonizer is saying, this is my planet.
20:48The devil is saying, this is my planet.
20:51And you can take your black ass.
20:53I'm going to hang you on a tree.
20:55I don't need you on this planet.
20:57That's what the colonizer and the KKK is saying.
21:02That's what he's saying to the indigenous people.
21:05I don't want your kind of life on my planet.
21:08And so the colonizer is saying it's his planet.
21:10But we know that the earth is the Lord's and the fullness there is.
21:16And that's why we have life in our spirit and they have death in their spirit.
21:24And so when you carry that cross and when you see the KKK having their symbol of a cross, he
21:29said, you can take your life and die and follow your shore.
21:34You can take your life and die and follow your shore because I don't need you.
21:38You're not going to lead me.
21:39Right?
21:40You're not going to be in charge of nothing on this planet.
21:43I'm in charge of you.
21:44And that's what the enemy is saying.
21:48You can take your life and die just like a shore.
21:51You can take up the cross.
21:52So that is insulting.
21:54That is insulting.
21:58This is why the word tells you.
22:02They deceive all nations.
22:07They deceive all nations.
22:09My people do not be deceived.
22:12Hanging people on trees is wicked and evil.
22:15God has no wickedness in them.
22:18People who do these types of violence are murderers.
22:21People that hang people on trees are murderers.
22:25And they do the acts of Cain who belong to the evil ones.
22:31And so this is how we know that something happened with Cain and Abel.
22:38Cain must have been something else.
22:41He must have been, he was jealous of Abel.
22:44He was jealous of Abel.
22:46But why?
22:47This is a different topic we'll get to on another day.
22:53So these murderers, these devil acting murderers, these colonizers,
22:59when I hang you on a tree, their violent acts belong to the evil one.
23:05And they might say Christian all day long, but they belong to the evil one.
23:10Why do I say this?
23:11In 1 John 3.12,
23:12Do not be like Cain, who belongs to the evil one and murdered his brother.
23:19So when they kill you, when they kill you and hang you on trees, they are just like Cain, who
23:25belongs to the evil one who killed his brother.
23:31And why did they murder him?
23:34Why did Cain murder his brother?
23:37Because his own evil actions were evil and his brother's was righteous.
23:44So his brother wants to do the will of God, but the evil one doesn't want to do the will
23:49of God.
23:50He said, this earth is mine.
23:52I'm going to make people bow down to me.
23:54I'm going to colonize everyone.
23:55I'm going to steal resources.
23:57I'm going to make people live like me.
23:58I don't want people to depend on God.
24:01They was an indigenous state.
24:02I'm going to take them out of the indigenous state.
24:03Make people pay for stuff.
24:06This is what the enemy is saying.
24:07This is what the enemy is doing.
24:14They see the indigenous person and he said, okay, they're living for God.
24:20I don't want to live for God.
24:22His evil actions.
24:26Cain has evil actions.
24:28These indigenous people have evil actions, but you have righteous actions.
24:32So they are jealous of you because they know that the earth belongs to you and not them.
24:37They know the earth belongs to you, but not them.
24:41In the same way, they see your actions and lifestyle as righteous.
24:48And so they want to put stony blocks in your way.
24:52You are as indigenous, depending on God.
24:56And here comes a person who wants to put stony blocks in your way.
25:01Make you depend on them while you was depending on God.
25:08You are righteous depending on the father who is in heaven, not depending on their rebellious lifestyle.
25:15Not really depending on the rebellious lifestyle.
25:20They hate you without justification.
25:23Just like they hated Yeshua without justification, without cause.
25:29So they go to your countries.
25:33They try to kill you.
25:34They steal your resources.
25:36They want to control every single thing.
25:39Because they want you to live a rebellious lifestyle.
25:42And they hate you without cause.
25:44Just like they hated Yeshua.
25:46And put him on a cross.
25:48And put him on a tree.
25:50And killed him.
25:53And he came to save you.
25:55And say, turn away from them.
25:57Turn away from the colonizer.
26:01Take up your cross.
26:02The spiritual cross.
26:04And die.
26:07Not the physical death.
26:09But die to the fleshly desires.
26:11Wanting their way of life.
26:14The cross has two different meanings.
26:16The spiritual death and the physical death.
26:18The spiritual death represents life.
26:20The physical death represents hate.
26:24When they want to put you on a tree.
26:27When they want to put you on a cross and kill you.
26:29That represents hate.
26:30That has nothing to do with God.
26:31So that is insulting.
26:32It is insulting to have Jesus Christ on a chain.
26:37Knilled to a cross.
26:38And you do not live in his spirit.
26:42That is insulting.
26:44Because you're killing him all over again.
26:47If I die for you.
26:49And you don't live the way I want you to live.
26:52It's insulting.
26:54It's insulting to represent me.
26:57To make fun of me.
26:58Of being shot or whatever.
27:00To make fun of my death.
27:01Because you represent me in the wrong way.
27:04The physical death represents hate.
27:07Which comes from the evil one.
27:11This is why Yeshua says.
27:12I desire mercy and not sacrifice.
27:14I desire mercy and not sacrifice.
27:18I love you.
27:20I want you to come away from the colonizer.
27:23I forgive you.
27:25I don't want you to have.
27:26I don't want you to be.
27:28I don't want you to die.
27:29I want you to sacrifice yourself by denying yourself the colonizer's way.
27:36Because that's not the way.
27:36But if you want that way.
27:39Then at the end.
27:41True death remains.
27:44True death remains.
27:45For you.
27:46If you're following the way of the colonizer.
27:49And want that way of life.
27:52Whoever represents Yeshua in the opposite way.
27:54Does not come from God.
27:56So you can carry a cross.
27:57That doesn't mean nothing.
27:59If you do not follow Yeshua the right way.
28:03You're not following.
28:05You don't come from God.
28:07For they believe.
28:09For they believe.
28:11In the sacrifice without mercy.
28:13For they believe in sacrifice without mercy.
28:15Because of their hatred.
28:17Of their hatred.
28:18Which leads to physical death.
28:20So.
28:23The colonizer.
28:25Points the finger.
28:27Y'all some savages.
28:29He don't have no mercy on you.
28:31He just want to kill you.
28:32Y'all look different from me.
28:33Y'all.
28:34You look different from me.
28:36You don't get with my program.
28:38You just need to die.
28:40That's what the colonizer is saying.
28:41He has no mercy.
28:43A colonizer has no mercy.
28:45They believe in sacrifice.
28:46I'm just going to kill you.
28:48Sacrifice.
28:49Sacrifice.
28:50Sacrifice.
28:53But Yeshua is telling you.
28:54He saved you.
28:55He says.
28:55I desire mercy.
28:57Not sacrifice.
28:58I don't mind it.
28:58I don't want you to die or kill.
29:01I want you to walk away from the colonizer.
29:03In his way of life.
29:06That's what.
29:07That's how you represent.
29:09Yeshua.
29:10Not just carrying a cross of death.
29:13But you have that spiritual death.
29:15Living in the spirit.
29:16And deny the way of the colonizer.
29:22To the colonizer.
29:23You have a lot of hatred.
29:26You're always looking forward.
29:28To try to gain a profit.
29:29And don't care.
29:30How he gained that profit.
29:31And he would kill you.
29:40Physical death is insulting.
29:43Physical death is insulting.
29:45It's insulting.
29:47It's white supremacy.
29:50Who comes in the evil one's name.
29:52White supremacy comes in the evil one's name.
29:56Who wants to kill you.
29:58Who wants to take you out of your indigenous state.
30:01Take you away from depending on God.
30:04It is the white supremacy.
30:06Who does not depend on God.
30:08But depend on the way of Satan.
30:13Offering the world.
30:16His way of life.
30:17Not the way of life of God.
30:20So is the cross insulting?
30:21Is the cross insulting?
30:24The physical death?
30:26Yes.
30:27That is insulting.
30:30I'm Trey Knowles.
30:31And thank you for watching.
30:32Truth and knowledge.
30:34Until next time.
30:36Grace and peace.
30:38I'm Trey Knowles.
30:38I'm Trey Knowles.
30:46I'm Trey Knowles.
30:48I'm Trey Knowles.
