Prawda o Bogu

Prawda o Bogu

Cały świat chrześcijański wyznaje, że Bóg jest naszym kochającym Ojcem, który umiłował nas tak bardzo, że posłał swego jedynego Syna, aby nas zbawił kosztem własnego życia. Chociaż jest to absolutnie prawdą, to czy my, chrześcijanie, harmonizujemy wszystkie nasze nauki z tą prawdą, czy też pozwoliliśmy, by błędne przekonania o Bogu wkradły się do naszych umysłów, serc, doktryn i kościołów?

Czy jest to możliwe, że trzymamy się błędnych wierzeń o Bogu, które oddalają nas od Niego, więc zamiast postrzegać Go jako naszego kochającego Ojca, widzimy Go jako kogoś, przed kim musimy szukać ochrony?

W Ew. Jana 17:3 czytamy wypowiedź Jezusa, że życie wieczne to ‘poznanie Boga’. Z drugiego listu do Koryntian 10:3‑5 dowiadujemy się, że duchowa walka w naszych umysłach jest toczona przy użyciu Bożej broni, niszczącej wszystko, co „przeciwstawia się poznaniu Boga”. Szatan atakuje prawdę o Bogu używając subtelnych wypaczeń, które uniemożliwiają nam poznanie Boga. Czy potrafisz je obalić? W pierwszym rozdziale listu do Rzymian Paweł mówi trzykrotnie, że kiedy odrzucamy ‘poznanie Boga’, wówczas „nikczemniejemy w swoich myślach”, nasze „bezrozumne serce staje się zaćmione”, a „umysł wypaczony”. Umysł nie może zostać uzdrowiony, dopóki trzymamy się kłamstw o Bogu.

Dzisiaj spostrzegłem jedno z nich – kłamstwo tak pospolite, że przyjmujemy je bez zastanawiania się, jakby było prawdą. Autor artykułu w chrześcijańskim czasopiśmie, które czytałem, mówił o pojednaniu, twierdząc otwarcie, że na krzyżu Bóg Ojciec zabił swego Syna, aby sprawiedliwości stało się zadość. Otóż nie kwestionuję rzeczy oczywistej, że śmierć Chrystusa była jak najbardziej istotna do dokonania planu zbawienia. Z całego serca zgadzam się, że ludzkość nie mogłaby zostać zbawiona bez samoofiarnej śmierci Chrystusa, dzięki której objawił On prawdę o Bożym charakterze miłości jak również dokonał o wiele więcej.

Kwestionuję natomiast – nie! przeciwstawiam się! koncepcji, że Bóg jest katem, że nasz kochający Ojciec, wspaniały Stwórca, źródło wszelkiego życia, jest określany jako niszczyciel życia, zadający śmierć, oprawca i morderca!

Niektórzy natychmiast zaprotestują i powiedzą: „Czyż Bóg nie zniszczył świata potopem? Czyż nie zniszczył ogniem Sodomy i Gomory? Czy nie zabił pierworodnych Egiptu, 185,000 Asyryjczyków i wielu innych?” Moja odpowiedź jest następująca: Bóg wiele razy użył swojej mocy, aby położyć do grobu swoje dzieci, ale każde z nich zmartwychwstanie – albo podczas zmartwychwstania do życia, albo w zmartwychwstaniu potępienia (Ew. Jana 5:29). Bóg nie położył kresu ich życiu; Bóg jedynie zawiesił ich życie do chwili zmartwychwstania, kiedy znowu ożyją i każde z nich otrzyma swoje wieczne przeznaczenie – albo „zapłatę grzechu którą jest śmierć” albo dar Boży, którym jest „żywot wieczny w Chrystusie Jezusie Panu naszym” (Rzymian 6:23 Dąbr.Wul.1973).

Chrystus przyszedł na ziemię, by doświadczyć śmierci, która jest „zapłatą grzechu”, ale żadna inna istota ludzka w historii Świata nie doświadczyła jeszcze tej śmierci. Zatem żaden przykład z Biblii nie wyjaśnia roli Boga w odniesieniu do krzyża. Musimy zbadać podane dowody odnośnie tego, co wydarzyło się na krzyżu i  przeanalizować je w rozsądny sposób. Co więc ujawniają dowody dotyczące postępowania Ojca przy ukrzyżowaniu Jezusa i kto jest faktycznie odpowiedzialny za śmierć Chrystusa?

Jezus zawołał: „Boże mój, Boże mój, czemu mnie opuściłeś?” (Ew. Mateusza 27:46), a nie „Boże mój, Boże mój, dlaczego mnie zabijasz?” Świadectwo autorów ewangelii stwierdza, że to złoczyńcy bili Go, znęcali się nad Nim i ukrzyżowali Go – a nie Bóg! (Ew. Mateusza 26:47–27:56; Ew. Marka 14:43 – 15:41; Ew. Łukasza 22:47 – 23:49; Ew. Jana 18:1 – 19:37). W rzeczywistości nie mamy najmniejszego dowodu na to, że Bóg dotknął Swojego Syna na krzyżu. Bóg raczej potraktował Go jak nieuleczalnego, niedosięgalnego, nie dającego się zbawić grzesznika i wycofał Swoją chroniącą i podtrzymującą dłoń, a szatańskie moce zjednoczyły się ze złymi ludźmi, by zamordować niewinnego Syna Bożego (2 Koryntian 5:21). Chociaż Bóg miał moc powstrzymania ludzkich sił przed zabiciem swego Syna, to nie mógł tego dokonać i jednocześnie uratować świat. Dlatego ukrzyżowanie mogło nastąpić jedynie wtedy, gdy Chrystus dobrowolnie złożył swoje życie i dopuścił do swojej śmierci. Chrystus powiedział: „Nikt nie może odebrać mi życia, oddaję swoje życie, aby je znowu wziąć.” (Ew. Jana 10:17,18). Chrystus nie został zabity przez swojego Ojca – Chrystus został zabity przez nas, przez naszą ludzką niegodziwość, nasz egoizm, naszą grzeszność.

Jakie świadectwo wydaje to o Bogu, gdy widzimy Chrystusa dobrowolnie poddającego się i pozwalającego swoim stworzeniom na znęcanie się nad sobą aż do śmierci? Czy nie świadczy to o tym, że Bóg nigdy nie skrzywdził swojego Syna? Istotnie, Syn Boży cierpiał i zmarł na krzyżu dla zbawienia rasy ludzkiej i w celu usunięcie grzechu z Bożego wszechświata, ale NIE z ręki Ojca. Dowody biblijne uniewinniają Boga, który nigdy nie był i nie jest źródłem śmierci. Bóg jest źródłem życia! Nie jest On katem, ale sprawiedliwym Wybawicielem!

Odrzuć kłamstwa o Bogu, przyjmij prawdę objawioną przez Jezusa, pojednaj i zjednocz się z Bogiem, i nawiąż z Nim przyjazne stosunki!

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!

E.W.

 

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 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 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 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 30

God lead me to your book “The God-Shaped Brain” while I was searching for another book about the brain and then to your interview about your book on HeartWise Ministries [where] I found out about [Come And Reason Ministries]. I’m now devouring the webcasts of your Bible studies. I have been so greatly blessed and I thank God so much for your courage to speak the Truth in love no matter what. Listening to you contrast the two opposing systems (laws) and digging deep to unearth the hidden treasures in the Bible makes me so incredibly happy and I feel very blessed to be part of your Bible Study Group although I live far away. I am just so excited that there is a group of people that is spreading the Truth about the character of God and it saddens me how few realize what our Father in Heaven is really like.

Kessy B., Australia

 

Testimony 21

I am absolutly on fire with the message at Come and Reason! I can’t get enough! I’ve read your book, blog, and articles. I’ve listened to your Bible study podcasts, your radio show, and your series – all excellent! It wasn’t until the past couple of years that I have I like I’m becoming “healthy,” with more to share with others than just beasts and commandments! I used to be a Bible worker and preached when the pastors were gone until I had had enough. I didnt realize at the time what the problem was, but i know now… the message wasn’t properly focused. Now my flame is rekindled. All of your little examples are so perfect in explaining something “complicated” and making it easily understood! Now I’m trying to shape it into a life changing evangelistic series! Thank you!

M.T., USA

 

Testimony 33

I was invited over a friend’s house to see the “God and Your Brain” seminar today. I became [a christian] 36 years ago at the age of 19, but have struggled with the concept of God taking His ‘pound of flesh’ out on His Son to be appeased. Wow. Your seminar has been an incredible revelation and breath of reason and fresh air! I have your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” and it is SO eye opening. Finally, after 36 years enlightenment has come! Praise the Good Lord! What can I say, but that the Real Gospel is truly “Good News!” Thank you for your efforts in giving the Gospel a clear sound!

Paul C.,  Springfield, MA, USA

 

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 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!

Karen S., Portal, AZ, USA

 

Testimony 40

I was brought up in a different faith and have been petrified my whole life of God. I believed that I would burn in hell for eternity. When I was 12 I started pursuing the things of this world, but for the next 45 years the Spirit was always calling me, as I knew there was a God through nature. I could see the vast sea of stars in the universe and knew there was something bigger out there. Five years ago, through a Revelation seminar, I was blessed to learn about God’s character and government.

Then I found Come and Reason Ministries and have come under some extreme pressure when I speak about the ministry. One time a member sent me an internet article titled “Whats wrong with Tim Jennings?” I asked her what she thought of it and she said “I don’t know, I didn’t read it.”

I have always wanted to find out for myself the truth about God, so I stayed with the Design Law construct and have been liberated to understand the big picture. Once we consider Design Law, all other Bible stories and prophecies seem to fit perfectly. It is truly beautiful to see people grasping how God operates this Universe of Love and the liberation it has provided in their lives. It blows my mind to see how consistent Design law is with what our founders believed. I hear statements like “This makes so much sense.”

Testimony 60

Just watched watched lesson 10 in the 1st quarter 2021 bible study classs on Isaiah. I want to thank you for your intellectual spirituality; it’s not an oxymoron! From the point of view of a teacher I also enjoy seeing how much personal pleasure you clearly take in not just tasting, but feasting on God’s word – it reminds me of Jeremiah not being able to hold it in! It makes me smile that your cup is so full and overflowing that you make it to Tuesday’s lesson (on a good day). It just goes to show the richness of God’s Word.

God bless the Come and Reason Team from our church here in Great Britain.

Andrew H., Great Britain

 

Testimony 34

I was introduced to Come and Reason Ministries by accident, via a passing comment made in a bible study class we were visiting. I checked this website out and my life was changed. The understanding of the truth of God’s character, and how we apply it, is so right. The tricky part is consistently applying which “lens” to look through. As I began to understand, I started sharing the basics of this understanding with a discussion group I was leading and, suddenly, a lot of things started to make sense that never used to. At the same time, I enjoyed an amazing opportunity. I was able to conduct a full bible study at WORK! What an amazing experience! It is such a joy to share the truth about God and to share how it all fits in the war between God and Satan. So many people benefit when we have a correct understanding about how God works and who He really is! Thank you for this transformational understanding. Keep up the good work! God Bless you!

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 37

Hearing Dr. Jennings’ presentations in person came at a pivotal moment in my spiritual journey that began about nine months ago, when the fault lines inherent in my belief system began to crack under questions that most reasonable people end up asking about God and His nature. These were questions I couldn’t find answers to, and they shook my faith. I was unable let it go any longer and be satisfied. My Christian experience became distant. I was afraid; the fear in me rose like thorns, pushing me away from Jesus. And then someone heard my questions and introduced me to this ministry, and my life has totally changed.

I can tell you that this new, “present truth” message is far grander and life-changing than when I shifted from being an agnostic and then a nominal Christian. It has radically altered my worldview, because it reveals a God that makes sense. It is a revolution. I believe that Dr. Jennings’ message is the final message that must go to the world. If any message could be called “righteousness by faith,” as abused as that term is by the right and the left, this is that message, because Jennings’ biblical message identifies a God who is different, whose character isn’t an impossible contradiction.

I walk this path now without fear. I see people differently, and the Holy Spirit burns in my heart. Many call Dr. Jennings’ message false and compromising, but it isn’t false, because I’ve seen the fruits within my mind and body. It is not compromising, because in this message is the only road to holiness that makes any sense. No longer do I behold a pagan god who is always angry and suspicious. Instead, I behold a God who is freeing and loving, always working for our good, and giving me every reason to love my enemy even to my own death, just as Jesus pleads with us. God is good.
