Assurance of Salvation

December 5, 2008 Bible Answers That Make Sense, Blogs, Life's Tough Questions Tim Jennings, M.D.

My question is about one’s assurance of salvation. Based on your model of salvation as opposed to the common or traditional view of salvation, as being a legal act, when can one be assured of salvation?

Response to Quotes in the Book, Confrontation

November 28, 2008 Blogs Tim Jennings, M.D.

I read the book called “Confrontation.” How do you understand the following statement: “The Majesty of heaven, through love and pity for fallen man, proposed to become his substitute and surety. He would bear man’s guilt. He would take the wrath of His Father upon Himself, which otherwise would have fallen upon man because of

Christ Our Substitute

Can you address the question of how Jesus became our “substitute” and how you see this?

Freewill, Foreknowledge, and Open Theism

November 14, 2008 Blogs Tim Jennings, M.D.

In the aftermath of my blog two weeks ago on the question of open theism I received another request to explore the idea of free will and foreknowledge.

Love and Boundaries

November 7, 2008 Blogs, Family and Relationship Health, Mental Health and Healing Tim Jennings, M.D.

I have been blessed by your seminar on “Healing the Mind.” Redefining the definition of unconditional love in light of the law of liberty raises questions in my mind about what our responsibility is to each other.

Open Theism

November 1, 2008 Bible Answers That Make Sense, Blogs Tim Jennings, M.D.

Is it not true that [you have a link in Come And Reason’s Web Resources to] Greg Boyd is a leading open theist? He advocates a view that God’s omniscience is seeing all possibilities, not the choices that have not yet been made by human free will.

Should Wives Submit to Their Husbands?

October 24, 2008 Blogs, Family and Relationship Health Tim Jennings, M.D.

My daughter is in a relationship and is hoping to get married, but her Fiance and her have different views on what it means for wives to be submissive to their husbands.

The Economy a sign of the End?

October 11, 2008 Blogs Tim Jennings, M.D.

One week ago today my wife, Christie, and I were in Washington DC and with nothing specific to do we decided to walk to the Capital building. The building was surrounded by security and finding we couldn’t get in we went instead to our Congressman Zach Wamp’s office.

Does Sin Contaminate The Sanctuary? Part 1

September 26, 2008 Blogs Tim Jennings, M.D.

Dr Jennings I started reading your article about Jesus’ death part two. I guessed very interesting because I had not seen this way, the problem of sin, but I have some questions what needing to be answering;

Every Eye Shall See Him

September 20, 2008 Blogs Tim Jennings, M.D.

Testimony 4

I’m a youth leader in South Africa. We as a youth group are currently using a lot of the material on the Come and Reason site. Since we’ve started using the material, our youth group has grown.

R. V. N., South Africa

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 8

Thank you for the ministry you are sharing with us, it is a real blessing to us and especially to my husband and myself! You are encouraging us to think for ourselves and not just to except everything, without thinking it through, with God’s word!

M.K., USA

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 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.

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.

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."

Tom W., Mt. Pleasant, MI, USA

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 20

I just wanted to personally thank you for your teachings and insight into scripture. I came across your website via my cousin who suggested I look into "Healing the Mind" information. My youngest daughter has been struggling over the last couple of years and it all came to a head this spring. When I started listening to the "Healing the Mind" lectures my own life began to be transformed. I began sharing with all my daughters the concepts you laid out so clearly. I ordered your book and soaked it up. I just want to say "Thank You!" My walk with the Lord has been refreshed and renewed. Your obedience to the Lord is a blessing to so many.

R. K., Anderson, SC, USA

Testimony 31

It was very touching to hear the testimony of your class share how viewing God's true character has changed their lives. My feelings are the same – there is so much freedom in knowing that God LOVES me – regardless of my... just, REGARDLESS! I'm still blown away by the true gospel, the fact that God is not ready to strike us when we fail. He is not arbitrary. He simply loves us and warns of the natural consequences because He can't stand to see us suffer. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS GOD!!!

Ceil V., UT, USA

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 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.

B. F., Silicon Valley, CA, USA

Testimony 14

We really appreciate your views on the judgment and they make good sense considering our free choice.

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 26

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.

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 38

Since November 2015, when I started studying Gods word from this God Is Love point of view, my life has been transformed. My troubled marriage of 15 years has been healed and my husband and I are truly happy for the first time in 15 years. Now When I read the word of God I understand it so much better and I can't help but see Gods love radiating through the pages to humanity. Gods word is living and active and I am blessed beyond measure to be having this amazing experience. God has given me a beautiful understanding of Jn 3:16 that amazes me more and more each day. Thank you again for your ministry.
