Subpoenaed By God

Subpoenaed By God

“You are my witnesses,’ says the Lord…” (Is 43:10)

Have you ever thought about being a witness for God? Could God really need human beings to testify about Him? If you were called to be a witness on God’s behalf, would you know what to say?

If you have never considered God being on trial, Paul’s words in Romans may shock you, “God must be true, even though every human being is a liar. As the scripture says, “You must be shown to be right when you speak; you must win your case when you are being tried.” (3:4 GNT)

Most of you have already considered how Satan makes allegations against God, and how God reveals the truth to rebut those allegations, but have you considered when God goes to court? When would God be on trial?

“Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.” (Rev 14:7)

When would this be? Now! God is on trial now! So now is the time He needs His witnesses. At the end of earth’s history God is calling for people to bring him “glory” or to testify rightly about Him, to reveal the truth about His character, because now is the time He is being judged. Right now, today He is calling for witnesses – are you ready to testify rightly about God?

God tells us how to be effective witnesses for Him. We are to extol and exalt God as Creator. But why? Why at the end of time does God need witnesses to testify about Him as Creator?

Because earth has been enveloped by two dark theories that hold the minds of men captive and prevent people from knowing God:

  • Penal Substitution – God is a being who must impose punishment for sin, torture and execute the wicked; a being who needs to be appeased, and have his wrath propitiated. This Dark Ages view of God, which is based on Imperial Rome’s imposed law concept, contributed to the second dark theory –
  • Evolution of the species – there is no God; we evolved from lower life forms.

Two mind warping theories splitting the world between a punishing god and no god.

The Creator is calling for witnesses to break the dark hold on the minds of men by telling the truth about Him.

But why focus on creation?

Because God’s character of love is the design template upon which He constructed life to operate. As Paul said in Romans, “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.” (1:20)

In nature we see that only in love, in free giving, is their life while all forms of selfishness result in suffering and death. With every breath we take we freely give away carbon dioxide, but if we selfishly hold it we die. Only in giving is their life. Bodies of water that freely give thrive, but those that won’t flow stagnate and die. This is God’s design for life! This is God’s character of love in action!

God is calling a people to show the perfect harmony that exists between His character of love and the laws of nature & science – the protocols upon which He constructed life to operate. In so doing we expose both dark theories that enslave the world.

When God’s law of love is seen in nature, it reveals that violations are terminal unless the Creator heals. There is no need for God to inflict death on a person who ties a plastic bag over his or her head, why? Because violations of God’s law, the design for life, automatically result in death unless someone intervenes to save. Understanding God’s character of love, His design for life, we realize that God is intervening, through Christ, to heal and to save!

When we see God as revealed in the laws He built life to operate upon, we realize there is no need for Him to execute the wicked, because life cannot exist outside His law. It is just as the Bible says, “The wages of sin is death.” (Rom 6:23) Therefore, we rightly realize there never was a need for God to be appeased or propitiated. Penal substitution stands exposed as a fraud, built on the principles of Imperial Rome’s imposed law.

God’s law in nature proves God is not like a Roman emperor, imposing law and then imposing penalties to punish lawbreakers. No, God instead is seen as our compassionate Savior, intervening to heal our terminal condition, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” (Jn 3:16,17)

Likewise, when we see God’s law of love in nature, we realize the survival-of-the-fittest principle is not the engine that drives adaptation and evolutionary advancement, but is Satan’s infection of God’s creation that damages and destroys. We see that every time selfishness rules death ensues, but when selfless love rules life ensues.

Look around you, consider God’s design for life, learn how His methods work, cooperate with Him and stand up to give Him glory, for the hour of His judgment is now!

Have you been served? Have you received your subpoena to testify in God’s behalf? If not, consider yourself served! The only question is, What will you say about God?

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.

Testimony 54

I had a lot of pressure, as a pastor’s kid, to conform and be “good.” I was good at being “good.” I thought my life was going along well until it all started falling apart and I could not figure out why! In my search for “why is this happening to me, God?” I came across your book, “Could it be this Simple,” and God started revealing to me the many distortions I held about His character, His principles, and how He has designed His universe to operate. I remember thinking, “Wow, I have had this all backwards.” I was happy and angry all at the same time. Happy to have the light of truth break through the darkness, revealing a wonderful, beautiful way of understanding God and His plan for His children, and angry, because I felt deceived and cheated by the church, my family, and myself!

My heart thrills when I listen to your bible study lessons. Literally I have gone from death to life. It is a journey I look forward to every day, as God reveals areas this distortion affects. Praise GOD! I will ever be grateful to God for this ministry and your cooperation with the Spirit!

Testimony 56

I cannot thank you enough for opening my understanding to the beautiful truth of God’s Law of Love and how it applies to everything. I have been a Christian for over forty years, but I feel like I am only now seeing with my eyes open. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

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.

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 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!

Testimony 15

I have been sharing Come And Reason Ministries Bible study lessons with several folk. You have such a beautiful view of the plan of salvation. If we had this message preached when I was young, my generation would still all be in church.

H. R., New Zealand

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 28

I have been following your Bible study class for about a year now. I must say I am impressed with how your ministry has grown. I took it upon myself to listen to all your lesson podcasts from the past and they have both enriched me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I have learnt a lot from this class. I have also noticed how the class has grown in spiritual strength. One of the things that benefited me is that now I am not afraid of God. I use to be, but now it has melted away. The second thing is that you helped me to have a real life relationship with God. Now He is my friend that was always there and I love having him with me all the time. Thirdly, because of this class, it inspired me to take over and lead a class. I have called it “Let Us Reason Together,” adapting your inquisitive style and creating a class of free thinkers.

Testimony 59

I’m a native Ghanan, but am currently in France for my master’s degree. Prior to this, during my final years at undergraduate studies in Ghana, I was introduced to your ministry and I’ve been immensely blessed by what you share, especially about the Design and Imposed Laws. God richly bless you for that.

One of the first things I did when I arrived in France was to buy all four of your books. They not only helped me, but those I shared them with. I shared the message with an atheist student and I marveled at how God worked mightily in his life. Today this person shares the Love of God with others and debunks theories of who God is not. I want to share what you present in your “Heavenly Sanctuary and Investigative Judgment” pamphlet, because the message brought rest to my soul and I live today as a healthy person.

God bless you so much and your ministry.

Michael A., Ghana

 

Testimony 19

I truly believe that to know who God really is the first step to understand ourselves in a balanced and kind way, so the healing can take place. Your approach really makes sense – Thank you for your ministry!

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 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.

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.
