DR. JENNINGS BEANTWOORD ‘N BEKOMMERNIS OOR LEESTOF EN KOMMENTAAR WAT RASSISTIES IS

DR. JENNINGS BEANTWOORD ‘N BEKOMMERNIS OOR LEESTOF EN KOMMENTAAR WAT RASSISTIES IS

Onlangs was ek by ‘n geleentheid in die VSA waar ons bediening ons leestof weggegee het, insluitend die tydskrif Kritiese Rasteorie: Ontbloot Die Leuens Terwyl Die Evangelie Bevorder Word. Nadat hulle die inhoud gelees het, het verskeie welmenende mense die opregtheid van my Christelike waardes en dié van Come And Reason se boodskap bevraagteken. Sommige het gedink ek is rassisties in hoe ek hierdie kwessie aanspreek of ontken die impak van rassisme. Verskeie het my persoonlik daaroor uitgevra, en een persoon het ‘n passievolle maar volwasse en redelike e-pos gestuur. Omdat ander dalk ook bekommernisse of vrae het, het ek gedink dit kan nuttig wees om my antwoord na aanleiding van die e-pos te plaas.

Ek wil eers dankie sê dat jy die tyd geneem het om jou bekommernisse te deel. Ek herken jou moed en jou Christelike gees om na my uit te reik. In kommunikasie kan daar foute in oordrag en ontvangs of albei wees – wat beteken dat wat ek dink ek sê dalk nie verstaan word of uitkom soos ek bedoel het nie. Ek waardeer die geleentheid om hierdie kwessie met u te bespreek.

Eerstens het ek nog nooit geglo of bedoel om iets te sê wat daarop dui dat rassisme nie bestaan nie of dat mense nie deur rassisme seergemaak is nie. My punt was dat Kritiese Rasteorie (KRT) nie gaan oor die bevordering van ‘n oplossing vir rassisme nie; dit is om die gekrenkte gevoelens wat rassisme veroorsaak het, uit te buit om ‘n ander agenda te bevorder, spesifiek om die Christendom en sy goddelike beginsels aan te val en te vernietig onder die valse vlag van die strewe na rassegelykheid. Wat KRT so bedrieglik maak, is dat dit daarop staatmaak dat die onderwerp (rassisme) so emosioneel is dat mense sal reageer op die bewerings wat dit beweer sonder om die metodes wat dit gebruik te evalueer en sodoende mense mislei om aan ‘n anti-Christelike beweging deel te neem terwyl hulle glo dat hulle rassegelykheid bevorder. Wanneer persone soos ek probeer om die anti-Christelike agenda van alle kritiese teorieë, insluitend KRT, bloot te lê, verstaan baie mense my verkeerd en beskuldig my daarvan dat ek rasse-ongelykhede ontken of dat rassisme voorkom. Laat ek dus weer sê dat ek glo dat rassisme baie werklik is, maar ek glo dat rassisme is wat Martin Luther King Jr. beskryf het: om mense te oordeel en te diskrimineer op grond van hul velkleur of ‘n ander oppervlakkige eienskap en nie mense te waardeer op grond van die meriete van hul karakter nie.

Ek het my hele loopbaan sterk gepleit vir rassegelykheid, het daaroor geskryf, daaroor gepraat en het bevorder wat ek verstaan die enigste oplossing vir rassisme is, en dit is Christus in die harte van mense. Daar is geen menslike regeringsoplossings wat rassisme kan oplos nie. Menseregerings kan die rassiste net daarvan weerhou om mense seer te maak. Maar die ware oplossing is die liefde van Jesus Christus, wat, wanneer dit in die hart aanvaar word, die rassis in ‘n vriend verander – dit is die boodskap en missie wat ek soek.

Ek bid God se seën op jou en jou gesin.

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 5

We listen to your bible studies lessons in our class in Montana. You actually were the main reason I decided to get a laptop, so I can go to your site and listen, read, learn, and print the class notes. I am so grateful to learn the correct view of God and his character. Now, to just have others have an interest in knowing, so I can share it with them. Good thoughts your way.

R. N., MT, USA

 

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 42

I am just writing to say that I have been so blessed by the teachings of Come And Reason Minitries recently. I watched last week’s bible study lesson on Youtube and am thankful that the error in the printed lesson guide you use was pointed out and this week’s study was of equal benefit, if not more so. My understanding of God’s nature has been very confused of late and I am so grateful for clarity in this matter. I have never really fully understood previously how a good God can cause bad things to happen and now I realise that He doesn’t, it’s a natural consequence of sin. May the almighty Father and His Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, continue to bless your ministry.

Testimony 7

Ok, so last night I listened to “The Law of Liberty” and “How to Achieve Victory: Freedom, Truth and Spirtual Warfare.” These are both MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES so far! The logic is just soooooo beautiful. I had to re-listen to them a couple of times. I just want to EXPLODE! (<< we assume with joy and happiness)

Testimony 44

We were given a gift of the DVD set, “God and Your Brain,” and we just finished watching it. The truths in this are so powerful and truly an answer to a prayer. We’re seeing hope where once we thought God wasn’t answering our prayers to be free of certain mindsets. He answered with these DVDs and we are hungry for more. Thank you!

Daniel T., Easley, SC, USA

 

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.

Testimony 2

I continue to enjoy your lessons every week. The more that I research your conclusions, the more I am convinced that the Holy Spirit has lead you to distill out the essence of human redemption. Thank you for your courageous stand for the truth.

S. G., TX, USA

 

Testimony 36

Thank you and may God continue to bless you as you share with others the intricacies of how we are all “fearfully and wonderfully made”. I must share that you have opened a whole new world to me, and I have found tremendous healing through what you have shared in two of your books, “Could It Be This Simple?” and “The God Shaped Brain.” I praise God for what you shared, what I have learned, and how I have grown and healed! My prayer is that My Precious Jesus will be seen by others in the way I live, act, talk, etc. and they may be encouraged to know He is truly a GREAT God of LOVE, desiring that no one should perish! God Bless you in your continued endeavors to present Him as He really is!

Testimony 58

I have been watching your videos in The Power of Love seminar and I must say these have liberated me and have improved my relationship with the Lord. I am no longer terrified of him as I was before following your teachings.

Testimony 66

I am incredibly grateful for the transformative impact you’ve had on my life, and words cannot fully express my appreciation. Over the years, I have been an avid listener and follower of C&R and extend my heartfelt thanks for creating the C&R mobile app. It has allowed me to immerse myself in your lessons repeatedly, enabling me to grasp the profound significance about the Character of God, Design Law, the protocols for life, the reasons behind the current chaos, and Christ’s mission to restore everything. They have deeply touched me. Having studied with various churches, I came away with the perception that God is no different from the deities of ancient Greek or Roman mythology—demanding sacrifices and taking pleasure in bloodshed. Thanks to your transformative teachings, I have experienced a profound awakening to the true nature of God and the immense power of His love. It is truly a remarkable and liberating sensation to finally grasp the truth and embrace the empowering nature of God’s laws. My self-perception has become brighter and more infused with love. My journey of growth continues on a daily basis.

Testimony 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Emmanuel V., Calgary, AB Canada

Testimony 6

I got the book “Could It Be This Simple?” a few months ago and the reading was wonderful and I was fascinated. I lent the book to a friend at work. She is having a difficult time and the book is helping her to find Jesus and I found this very exciting. She has asked me questions and I can see her life changing.

Testimony 12

I have been really blessed reading your response to the various questions on your site.

Testimony 22

I have found your Bible study class lectures to be very inspiring and useful as I prepare to teach class every other week. I subscribe to the podcast and download your notes on the weeks I teach. The audio and notes are such a great help in preparing. My own understanding of God’s character has grown as I teach the class. Commendations on the thought-provoking and well-prepared material Come and Reason provides. Personally, I get excited by the tie you make between the spiritual and mental/physical domains.
