Only God Is Infallible

Only God Is Infallible

Only God is without flaw. Only God never makes mistakes. Only God is supremely, totally, completely, and always trustworthy. And God is the only one in whom it is safe to place our trust.

Angelic perfection failed in heaven. One-third of the angels rebelled. Satan can appear as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), and Paul tells us that even if an angel from heaven came with another gospel, we should not believe it (Galatians 1:8). We must not place our trust in angels. Angels can rebel. Angels can deceive. Angels are fallible.

Human perfection failed in Eden. Adam and Eve believed lies and rebelled against God. They infected themselves with fear and selfishness, and the entire human species is dying of this terminal sin condition. All our righteousness is nothing but symptoms of the sickness of sin (Isaiah 64:6). We are fallible. We must not place our faith, our trust, in other sinful humans.

It is dangerous to trust people, pastors, teachers, relatives, doctors, and politicians. People, even those led and inspired of God, can make mistakes. People, even when working for God, can make mistakes.

  • Moses made a mistake when he struck the rock (Numbers 20:11, 12).
  • Elijah made a mistake when he ran away and “prayed that he might die” (1 Kings 19:3, 4 NIV84).
  • Paul made a mistake when he ignored God’s warning and returned to Jerusalem (Acts 21:4, 10, 11).
  • Peter made a mistake in giving in to pressure from legalists and had to be corrected by Paul (Galatians 2:14).

These great heroes of God made mistakes, but God did not cast them away. They did not lose salvation, for their salvation did not come from their performance; it was a gift from God. The Creator was not only using them to advance the plan of salvation, but God’s plan was being worked out in them! They, like us, were also sinners saved by grace through their living faith in God. They had all come to trust God; they all desired to honor God, but they were fallible. Despite their goal to live for God, they still suffered from the sin condition that needed overcoming. They were all finite beings with human foibles, weakness, fatigue, and emotions, and they all made mistakes. They were not rebelling against God; they were simply wrong in those specific moments because they were fallible.

We must not place our trust in other human beings. We must trust only in Jesus. This is why each person must individually know the truth for themselves. We must each know the Scripture for ourselves. We must each know God and Jesus Christ for ourselves. We must each know for ourselves the duty God would have for us. We must each build a living faith upon the solid rock of truth found only in our infallible God as He has revealed Himself to us in His three threads of evidence: Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16), science and nature (Romans 1:20), and our personal experiences with God (Psalm 34:8; John 20:27).

The truth about God, understood and experienced for ourselves, must be the foundation for our individual living faith. Every person must be fully persuaded in their own mind (Romans 14:5), and each person must grow up from newborns in Christ, from children who look to the teacher to tell them the right answer, to mature Christians who have developed by practice the ability to discern the right from the wrong (Hebrews 5:14).

There is danger when we believe based on what others have studied and what others have concluded. There is danger in trusting someone because they have a degree in theology or medicine, or because they hold a particular office, whether in the church or in government. And that danger is following another person into error—even if that person is sincere. It is the danger of failing to develop one’s God-given ability to reason, think, discern, and know the truth because it is the truth. It is the danger in, without thinking, following someone into confusion and error. How many Christians today would be able to stand up to the apostle Peter if he came to their church, to tell him that he is wrong? Only God is infallible.

There is also danger in trusting the crowd, of going along with the majority, whether the majority of the world or the majority of the church.

The world was wrong in Noah’s day.

The world was wrong in Moses’ day.

The “church” and its leaders were wrong in Jesus’ day.

The “church” and its leaders were wrong in the Dark Ages.

As we approach the final moments before Jesus returns, the Bible warns us of terrible times, troublesome times, distressing times. Our fears will be inflamed and our worst anxieties aroused. Everything that we have built our safety upon will be threatened. And it is when our earthly securities are removed, when every single earthly support is stripped away—when our bank account is empty, our home is taken, our liberty destroyed, our family members abandon us, our friends betray us, our church rejects us, and we feel all alone—that we will either be standing upon the solid rock, Jesus Christ, or collapsing into ruin and despair.  

Only those who have developed a personal, living faith in Jesus, who know God for themselves, who trust their lives, fortunes, families, and futures to our infallible Creator God, will be found standing firm. All those who have trusted in other humans—in dynamic speakers, in church leaders, in politicians—will, sadly, discover that they have placed their trust in the fallible.

Only God is infallible! Trust only in Him!

Testimony 48

I just want to tell you how blessed I have been reading “The Remedy!” It has become a daily part of my devotional relationship with God. In it I have found a God of love and a God that loves me! The bible has come alive for me! It is the first time that I can say that I have felt hope fill my heart as I have read God’s word. This is good news I can share! Thank you, Dr Jennings! Thank you for your heart for others. I can’t put into words how this has set me free! It has strengthened my trust and love for God.

Your teachings about our heavenly Father have changed my life. Thank you sooooooo very very much! I know He’s doing some serious healing in my heart and life and I look forward to each new day to learn something new about Him and to just hear you speak about Him. Thank you, forever.

I’m a youth leader in South Africa. We as a youth group are currently using a lot of the material on the Come and Reason site. Since we’ve started using the material, our youth group has grown.

Testimony 51

I Love This Ministry!!!!!!! I see first hand how this message is desperately needed, how erroneous beliefs about God and His Character negatively affect humanity at every level. I thank God for your ministry, as I was searching on my own and was discovering some of your same beliefs and was blown away when I found your ministry. I know you hear it all the time, but it is truly life changing. May God continue to reveal His Will to you and Bless you!

Eric S., Sanford, FL, USA

 

Testimony 72

I am blown away by the truth that you present. God’s Design Law makes so much sense! You have validated my impression that, if God is love, He would not kill those who don’t want to know him. If God gives us choice, then how can He destroy us if our choice is not to follow him. Thank you for opening my eyes and heart to the pure love of God seen through Jesus. The love I now have for Jesus is deeper and free from condemnation. My heart has been opened to love others as Jesus loves me. May God continue to bless your God-given insight into His word and your ministry. The truth has set me free!

Testimony 11

I would love to have a copy of “Healing the Mind” DVDs to have in my therapy office. I enjoy having clients check out materials to enhance their therapy experience. I have sat under Dr. Jennings’ teaching at an American Association of Christian Counselors convention and respect his work greatly.

Testimony 25

I just want to say thank you so much for your conversations via YouTube. I regularly tune in to your lectures, “Let’s Talk” sessions, and many others. Through these I’ve found greater depth and meaning to God’s word. Thanks for all that you do and please continue. I’m currently working in the middle of Silicon Valley at Stanford University. I feel like God really has me in the right place right now and I’m sensing that your teachings might be part of it.

Testimony 49

I came into the church at 21, but that is as far as it went. I was so confused about what love is. I couldn’t find it in the bible, because I am not a person that can read between the lines. I have no logic. I have read many, many books; trying to figure out the crux of the matter. They were helpful, but something was still missing. I have become very frustrated to the point of crying out to God, “Where can I go?”  I needed some basics.

I found two books, written by Timothy Jennings, MD, to be very helpful. God showed me that I had lived my whole life in fear. I didn’t even see it. Now, I do. God is so good.  I discovered the “The Remedy”  Dr. Jennings new book, “The God-Shaped Heart!” Oh, I was so excited, I purchased them right away.

I can get rid of most of my books, because “The Remedy” brings the Love of God out so clearly, even I can’t miss it. Now, I want to sit and read my Bible. Wow, what a revelation! It is just simply Awesome! I am so grateful to Jehovah Almighty for hearing my prayer for more understanding! I am so encouraged!

Testimony 10

I personally download and listen to each of Come And Reason Ministries Bible study class lessons and PDF study notes to use when teaching my class. Really appreciate the class especially when Dr. Jennings is teaching. Thank God there are persons like him doing His work and traveling to share His beliefs.

Testimony 65

I have been tuning into your weekly study classes for a while now and wanted express my appreciation for the teachings that ha been a huge blessing in opening up the true message of the word. Viewing scripture under an imposed law theory always, without fail, raised more questions, concerns, and conflicting scripture interpretations that were discouraging at the very least. Looking at scripture through the design law lens has brought more truth to light for me personally and an understanding of our Heavenly Father that places Him “above all others,” where I am now more than thrilled to witness and serve Him.  I “stumbled” across this ministry a year or so ago and would only watch a few minutes at a time. But the more I listened and the longer I paid attention, the more my spiritual eyes were opened to the ever present truths of scripture. The comprehension of the great controversy and it’s origin by the lies perpetrated and perpetuated throughout the Bible on the attack of God’s character and government is truly priceless. Keep up the Good Work! Your servanthood is desperately needed in such a time as this!

Testimony 32

The message [of Come And Reason Ministries is] for all Christians (and those who may become Christians) and not just Adventists or any other group. It is difficult to imagine why any [anyone] with intellectual and spiritual honesty could find fault with the way you explained the healing substitution concepts and the truth about God’s character, though I know some will reject and criticize. On behalf of those in our group near Tacoma, WA, thank you and your staff for all of the hard work and for sharing the Gospel in this manner. God’s message of healing love will be carried to the whole world and then Jesus will come – He promised it.

Terry U., Tacoma, WA, USA

 

Testimony 31

It was very touching to hear the testimony of your class share how viewing God’s true character has changed their lives. My feelings are the same – there is so much freedom in knowing that God LOVES me – regardless of my… just, REGARDLESS! I’m still blown away by the true gospel, the fact that God is not ready to strike us when we fail. He is not arbitrary. He simply loves us and warns of the natural consequences because He can’t stand to see us suffer. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS GOD!!!

Testimony 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

Testimony 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.

Testimony 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!
