  • Die Vloed en die Vraag of God Doodmaak – Deel 2

    Die Vloed en die Vraag of God Doodmaak – Deel 2

    by

    In die tyd ná my onlangse aanlyn dagboek (“blog”), Die Vloed En Die Vraag Of God Doodmaak – Deel 1, het ek verskeie e-posse ontvang wat kommer, besware en meningsverskille uitspreek. En aan diegene wat gekies het om vir my e-pos te stuur om besware uit te spreek: Dankie!

    Die Vloed en die Vraag of God Doodmaak – Deel 1

    by

    Ek het onlangs e-posse ontvang van mense wat passievol is daaroor om God op die akkuraatste en liefdevolste manier moontlik aan te bied. Hulle het sterk beswaar gemaak teen my standpunt dat God sy krag in Ou Testamentiese tye gebruik het om mense graf toe te stuur met die doel om die weg vir die Messias oop te hou.

    DIE INTEGRERENDE BEWYSGEBASEERDE BENADERING OM WAARHEID TE VIND

    by

    Come and Reason Ministries het die ‘Integrerende Bewysgebaseerde Benadering’ vir baie jare gebruik en breedvoerig geleer, maar ek het onlangs ontdek dat ons nie ‘n plek op ons webwerf het met ‘n beskrywing daarvan nie, en ook nie verwysings wat die goddelike oorsprong daarvan dokumenteer nie. Daarom is hier ‘n kort beskrywing en voorbeeld, gevolg deur baie verwysings.


  • Die ontwerpwette van God

    Die ontwerpwette van God

    by

    Wanneer jy die woord “wet” in ‘n woordeboek opsoek, sal jy tipies meer as 20 verskillende definisies vind, maar hulle verdeel wel in twee hoofkategorieë: 1) opgemaakte reëls wat handhawing vereis (bv. belastingwette), en 2) beginsels of protokolle waarop die werklikheid gebou is om te werk (bv. wette van fisika).

    NUWE WYN IN OU WYNSAKKE

    by

    Ek het onlangs ‘n e-pos ontvang van ‘n vriend wat so ‘n kragtige insig oor ‘n onderwerp gehad het dat ek toestemming gevra het om dit as ‘n blog op ons webwerf te plaas. Ek hoop jy vind dit so vol impak soos ek. Kwessies oor vroueverordening komitees en komitees wat nakoming en toepassing opvolg, laat sommige van ons dink dat donkerder kragte vandag aan die werk is in die kerk.


  • Strafvervanging Versus Ontwerpwet – Wat Is Die Verskil?

    Strafvervanging Versus Ontwerpwet – Wat Is Die Verskil?

    by

    ‘n Aanlyn luisteraar het geskryf: Wat is die verskil tussen strafvervanging en ontwerpwet? Hoe verduidelik ons die verskil en redeneer met iemand wat in strafvervanging glo?


  • Salwing Met Olie: Ware Medisyne Of Bygelowige Seremonie?

    Salwing Met Olie: Ware Medisyne Of Bygelowige Seremonie?

    by

    Ek het hierdie vraag van ‘n aanlyn luisteraar ontvang: Ek wonder of jy die Bybelse leer van salwing van die siekes waarna in die boek Jakobus verwys word, vanuit die ontwerpwetperspektief kan aanspreek? Ek verstaan net nie hierdie lering nadat ek van baie salwingsdienste gehoor het en gesien het hoe min mense genees word nie. Wat is die punt? Daar moet meer wees as net “blinde geloof”.


  • DAWID EN DIE TOONBRODE VS. USSA EN DIE VERBONDSARK

    DAWID EN DIE TOONBRODE VS. USSA EN DIE VERBONDSARK

    by

    Het jy al ooit gewonder waarom Dawid die toonbrode in die heiligdom kon neem en eet en niks met hom gebeur nie, maar toe Ussa aan die Verbondsark geraak het, het hy gesterf? Het jy al ooit ‘n predikant gehad wat die storie van Ussa gebruik het om die idee te bevorder dat as jy aan God ongehoorsaam is, Hy jou sal straf en doodslaan? Dit kan alles ‘n bietjie arbitrêr lyk.


  • DIE SEWE VLAKKE VAN MORELE ONTWIKKELING

    DIE SEWE VLAKKE VAN MORELE ONTWIKKELING

    by

    Daar is sewe vlakke van begrip van reg en verkeerd (morele besluitneming). Omdat God liefde is, praat God met elke persoon op hul ontwikkelingsvlak, net soos ‘n ouer op verskillende maniere met hul kinders praat in verskillende stadiums van ontwikkeling. ‘n Ouer verduidelik dinge anders aan ‘n 3-jarige as aan ‘n 30-jarige. So ook God.

    GOD SE TOORN – WAT BETEKEN DIT?

    by

    Terwyl ek werklik oortuig is van die waarheid oor die karakter van God soos geopenbaar en geleer deur jou bediening, vind ek dit moeilik om met ander oor hierdie onderwerp te gesels wanneer ek in die “toorn van God”-hoek geverf word, wat blykbaar soveel skriftuurlike ondersteuning het.

    Wat is jou siening oor God wat bere stuur om kinders te vermorsel nadat hulle “gespot” het met een van God se profete omdat hy kaalkop was? Dit het my regtig, regtig gepla en lyk baie hardvogtig.

Testimony 17

The blessings of clarity and understanding you and your class inspire me to take from the word of God have impressed upon me so greatly the true, loving character of our Creator. I have found amazing freedom and joy through building a stronger, more intentional relationship with Him. What is new is that this is now a relationship built on love, reverence and respect rather than fear and obligation, and as such my eyes have been slammed OPEN as I am continually impressed by the manifestations of God’s true character in His provisions for fallen man.

T.E.H., Salt Lake City, UT, USA

 

Testimony 71

When I was 9 years old, I remember setting at our devotional table with a hunger and thirst for God that wanted more, deeper, BETTER. I can remember literally crying and pounding on the table, “I know these teachers didn’t mean to give us error. They taught what THEY had been TAUGHT, but didn’t ANYBODY READ THE BOOK?!?!?” It mattered to me then. It mattered to me as a teenager. It matters now as I teach bible classes. It didn’t have to be so hard as I watched so many give up and lay God’s great plan and gift of salvation aside as being “impossible.” Then, a friend sent me a link to Come And Reason’s website. I grew excited. YES! FINALLY! Then another friend told me to stay away, saying her son had just broken up with a girl because she was involved with Come And Reason and that “Tim Jennings preaches a false gospel.” But, AFTER many years of developing an authentic and, dare I say FUN relationship with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit I see this message has been around a LONG time, since the apostle Paul, Ellen White, Graham Maxwell, Ray Foucher, and yourself (though I admit, you’ve made me back up, rewind and replay the clips, and get out my well-worn Bible on a few things.) I’m so thankful I have found LIGHT during these DARK days. I am not alone.

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.

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!

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 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.

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 29

Thank you for all of your work to correct misconceptions about God’s character. So many people that my husband and I have talked to seem to be against the natural law construct and view it as “errant” and “dangerous.” Having learned more about it through your blogs and lessons, I don’t really understand why they view it that way, except that it means they have to relearn theology they have known for their entire lives. But I’m so excited to relearn this. For the past few years I have been questioning how I could trust a God who punishes arbitrarily and is full of wrath for those who don’t obey His commands. That view made me afraid to “mess up” or “not be good enough,” even within my relationship with God. I really appreciated the point you bring out about God not wanting us to serve Him because we are afraid, but because we love Him.

Melissa H., IN, USA

 

Testimony 46

Over the past couple of years God has been expanding my view of Himself and His character. Along my approximately 40-year journey, I have often had questions, but was hesitant to voice these and step outside the traditionally accepted thinking, for fear of admitting that I may in fact be eternally lost. In the recesses of my thinking has been the thought – if one blindly accepts (which is widely regarded as “real faith”) and does not question, is this really ‘truth?’ I often find it challenging to grapple with very theological ‘speak,’ but Dr. Jennings has a real gift of explaining spiritual concepts with clear practical examples. The weekly discussions are growing my Christian experience and slowly changing my view of how to live as a child of God in today’s complex world. Finally the whole Old Testament sanctuary teaching moved in my mind from fantasy to reality!

Testimony 41

I have been blessed by your ministry. I have experienced personally, and deeply resonate with, the God of love and the beautiful picture of God’s character that you present. I have seen your seminar series on YouTube, read ‘The Journal of the Watcher’ book, used your mobile app, and also listen/study the bible study lesson with you each week. I concur with many of the thoughts and perspectives that you share. I understand your conclusions on natural laws vs imposed law and the legal/penal substitution (incorrect diagnosis). This makes perfect sense to me.

Bless you for all you do.

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 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 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 73

I have been truly blessed by your blogs and other resources. They have helped me to see things in a much brighter light and to reason things out better. Thank you so much for your ministry. Whenever I have the opportunity I pass along your material to my friends.

R. Noseworthy, Newfoundland, Canada

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.
