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 23

I would just like to add my voice to the many people who, I believe, must have contacted you to express their appreciation for the “Healing the Mind” DVDs. I’ve been listening to your Bible study class discussions for many years and I’ve been personally blessed by your research and teaching about the character of God.

L. G., Oakland, MI, USA

 

Testimony 16

Your seminars are still inspiring and changing our lives and we continue to share the principles we have learned from you. Your ministry has changed our lives!

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.

Thando N., South Africa

 

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 27

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.

Nancy S.

 

Testimony 45

I have been confused for years about what [christianity] calls [its] most disgusting teaching. It has never made much sense to me and for that reason has been evermore empty. I have listened to your class off and on and have struggled determining what is truth, because of the resistance design law encounters in the church. So, I thank God for your ministry. What you teach makes sense. It’s logical and backed up by the power of love. I have never seen that in Christ until now. I am astounded by the insight that is found when we look at God’s ministry through design law. All strength to this message, as I believe it to be the power of God.

Brendon S.

 

Testimony 55

I was born [into the church], then I left it for many years. 10 years ago, I came back, but I could not take the hypocrisy and the lack of answers to the missing pieces. I struggled, but I did not abandon my commitment to know the truth. God is leading me to the simple understanding of his relevance and I am relearning what the church taught me as a youth… that he loves me, that he has led me to a knowledge of him such as I have never known. He is using Dr. Jennings to connect the dots that are now so apparent and hiding in plain sight!

Dean P., Arlington, TX, USA

 

Testimony 24

I wanted to thank you very much for presenting your understanding of God. I’ve always been troubled by this question: Why did Jesus have to die? Since my conversion I understood that The Father & Jesus are one, I did not have issues with that. But was there not any other way to save us than for Jesus to die? I guess I actually had a question about God – if He is so wise, how come He did not find another way? I did not see the real ‘beauty’  in the cross. Only when you explained the picture in the medical context, Jesus providing medicine for my selfishness, have I started to finally ‘see the light’. Thank you so much. Your seminar, “Healing the Mind,” are absolutely marvelous & have shared them with my family and many other people, including colleagues at work. Thanks, thanks, thanks. May God bless you abundantly in your ministry.

M. W., Australia

 

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 69

After reading your book, ‘Could It Be This Simple,’ someone was explaining Christianity in a way that made sense to me for the first time in my life. One morning, I simply prayed “I’m sorry and I love you.” As soon as I silently said that, I could literally feel God’s presence and light flood down on me from above and fill me up with love and joy. I sat there crying my eyes out, because I was so overpowered with this feeling of love and joy. It was just so incredible. I hope that more people can read this book and get a blessing from it. It’s really amazing.

Rachael H.

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 70

I have been watching you for many years and have learned to love God with all my heart. I was raised by a loving Christian mother that had been lied to about who God really was, so our religious upbringing was hell fire and damnation. As soon as I was old enough and moved out, I not only left the church, I ran as fast as I could to get away from it. Sad to say, it wasn’t until the past couple of years that I learned and understand who my Father really is and how much He loves me. I understand God’s Design Laws (which make sense) and when I’m teaching my church Bible study class, I’m able to really put to use the things I’ve been learning and Holy Spirit is leading. Thank you for introducing me to my Father of true, pure love. Everyday with Him is new and exciting. One thing that breaks my heart is that I didn’t know Him sooner. God Bless you and your ministry!

Judy Phelps, Reno, NV, USA

Testimony 68

Your message of design law vs imperial law is so uplifting and makes so much sense- it is a game changer for me. The fact that Jesus’s death is not a big payment by an angry God is , quite frankly, a relief.

Laura G., London, Ontario, 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.

H. S., Australia

 

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!

Joleen H. GA, USA
