The Cult (Culture) of Godlessness—A Cancer Destroying the World

The Cult (Culture) of Godlessness—A Cancer Destroying the World

When it comes to our world, the origins of life, and our existence as human beings, there are two general ways to believe:

  1. A God-centered understanding, that there is a supreme intelligent being who created the universe, this planet, and all life, including sapient human beings
  2. A godless understanding, that somehow the universe, this planet, and all life originated on its own through random chaotic forces

From each of these two general views, there are a variety of divergent beliefs, views, and cultures that have arisen. For instance, in the God-centered worldview, there is Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—all believe in the Abrahamic Creator God yet each has various divergent beliefs that lead to different cultures and practices. Likewise, among those who hold the godless worldview, there are differing beliefs, such as scientism, materialism, atheism, humanism, and communism, which result in different cultures and practices among them.

Over the past several decades, a growing social movement originating out of the godless worldview has been teaching the idea of validating, accepting, and promoting all cultures as equal in value. This idea is often presented in the negative by attacking historic Christian values as oppressive, abusive, exploitive, and racist. The godless do this by asserting that Western Christian values are the cultural foundation that instigated slavery, the genocide of people of color, colonialization, and various levels of planetary destruction.

Then the godless seek to advance their culture by promoting all forms of cultural diversity except Christianity, and they falsely claim that accepting all other cultures and practices is healthy, valuable, wise, and beneficial. This is a fraud, a con, a lie.

Let me state this plainly: Not all culture is equally healthy and beneficial and, therefore, not all culture is equally valuable. Some cultures are outright harmful and destructive, and it is right (righteous) to replace them through godly means.

  • Culture that leads people back to a loving relationship with the true Creator God as Jesus revealed Him to be, whose kingdom is the kingdom of love, is healthy; culture that promotes godlessness, with fear and selfishness (survival of the fittest) as the motivating forces for development and advancement, is unhealthy.
  • Culture that helps its people develop reasoning skills, values objective evidence, and reality-based living is healthy; culture that promotes feelings over facts, authority over evidence, rules over reality, and meaningless ritual and superstition over wisdom is harmful and unhealthy.
  • Culture that promotes living in harmony with design law—the laws the Creator built reality to operate upon (laws of health, etc.)—is healthy; culture that promotes arbitrary rules that violate the laws of health is harmful.
  • Culture that educates all its people is healthy; culture that prohibits the education of some or perpetually practices policies that result in failing schools—where the majority of students don’t gain competencies—is unhealthy.
  • Culture that values truth and the free exchange of ideas is healthy; culture that censors information and obstructs free speech is unhealthy.
  • Culture that values human life and seeks to protect the vulnerable is healthy; culture that values power and sacrifices human life (especially the most vulnerable) is unhealthy.
  • Culture that promotes altruism is healthy; culture that promotes the exploitation of others is unhealthy.
  • Culture that values Christlike character, developing the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22) is healthy; culture that values the possession of a certain skin color, gender, political party, or any other factor over godly character is unhealthy.
  • Culture that promotes balanced diet, reasonable exercise, physiological rest (sleep), and spiritual rest (Sabbath) is healthy; culture that promotes fast-food, a sedentary lifestyle, long work hours that interfere with sleep, the use of various stimulants (caffeine, amphetamines) in place of sleep, and no weekly sabbatical to rest the mind in relationship with God, family, and friends is unhealthy.
  • Culture that promotes forgiveness with appropriate boundaries is healthy; culture that promotes revenge is unhealthy.
  • Culture that promotes honesty is healthy; culture that promotes dishonesty is unhealthy.
  • Culture that promotes freedom of conscience is healthy; culture that coerces consciences is unhealthy.
  • Culture that promotes autonomy, seeking to develop individuals to their highest capacity, is healthy; cultures that promote paternalism, seeking to keep the masses enfeebled to be controlled (parented—told what to do), by the few elites is unhealthy.
  • Culture that values achievement over entertainment is healthy; culture that values entertainment over achievement is unhealthy.

Don’t accept the lie that all culture is equally valuable. It is not. In fact, it is right and good to identify destructive cultural practices and, through peaceful means, seek to replace them with healthier culture and practice.

We do this through the presentation of truth in love that converts hearts and minds, through education, through documentation, and through measurable observable outcome differences. We actively desire and seek to eliminate from society those cultural norms, practices, beliefs, and attitudes that are objectively destructive and harmful to human thriving.

Conflation Confusion

The godless allege that America is an abusive and destructive culture because the culture of white European Christians led to the invasion, conquering, and elimination of the governance and cultural practices of the native peoples. They allege that society would improve if the cultural practices of Christianity were eliminated. But this is a lie.

While it is true that the methods used by European nations to conquer the Americas were not godly, it is also true that the various nation-states of this world do not represent Jesus or the kingdom of God (John 18:36) even when they claim to be doing so; we will not defend the abusive and un-Christlike methods used by the kingdoms of this world because they are not God’s kingdom. But it is an error to confuse the nation-states, which operate upon the principles of this world, with Jesus and His true followers and the healthy society that occurs whenever and wherever God’s principles are put into practice by the people.

Whenever and wherever people have returned to the Bible (Reformation) and brought with them genuine Christian culture and practice, society has improved. Such practice includes: two-parent homes, work ethic, personal responsibility, the pursuit of truth and the scientific method, respecting the individuality and liberty of conscience of all other humans, and, thus, freedom of speech, worship, and association. Moreover, culture that promotes forgiving those who have wronged us, seeking to bless rather than seeking to curse, treating the human body as the Spirit temple and seeking to live healthy lifestyles, being good stewards of the planet, and valuing all human life and thus Christian culture led the anti-slavery abolitionist movement. Yes, wherever Jesus and His methods are advanced, people and society improve.

The ungodly seek to trick people into focusing on the un-Christlike methods used by nation-states and the unconverted who claim to be Christian, alleging these methods are the outgrowth of Christianity, and falsely claim that by replacing Christian culture with godless culture, society and human thriving would improve. But this is a lie.

Reality of Godless Culture

Just take a moment to examine the historical evidence for yourself and decide if that claim is supported by the facts. Would our society be a better place for human thriving if the dominant culture today was one of many non-Christian cultures that practiced cannibalism, human sacrifice, tribal wars, and slavery—as many of the American tribes did? Have societies that replaced Christian culture with godlessness (communism) such as the Soviet Union, China, North Korea, and Cuba resulted in greater human thriving? No—it resulted in the greatest human abuse, genocide, exploitation, and corruption of humanity in history!

Understand what is happening in the world today—the real goal of the so-called cultural equity agenda is not to advance human thriving, but to diminish the healthy impact of living in harmony with the principles of God as taught in the Bible and advanced by Christianity.

The godless culture, through the guise of tolerance, seeks to advance its destructive culture by vilifying and nullifying the values, principles, and practices that have resulted in success for all people who practice them.

The godless culture, when it is advanced and its methods are put into place, will always bring more harm, greater pain, increased poverty, greater exploitation, abuse, and death. This has been borne out over and over again throughout human history—again, just look at every society (USSR, China, Cuba, etc.) in which godlessness has dominated.

As a physician, I have become alarmed as I have witnessed the intrusion of the godless worldview into medicine, which has led to dishonesty, exploitation, and the compromise of historic medical ethics and values. During COVID, we saw a worldwide exploitation and abuse of people, the coercion of conscience, restriction of liberties, redistribution of wealth, active obstruction of truth, and promotion of lies—and it was the medical establishment that was the frontline force of this evil assault!

The godless are behind the entire push toward so-called institutional, systemic, healthcare “equities.” The problem with the godless approach to culture and what is called systemic and healthcare equity is that they have no standard of what is healthy. Once health moves beyond the most basic measures of physiological health (lab values, blood pressure) to actual mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual thriving—which operate upon God’s design laws that govern the mind, relationships, the soul and spirit—the godless are left completely adrift in a raging sea of stormy feelings, emotions, and personal preferences, biases, and desires.

This leads to physicians and professional health societies and organizations devaluing human life and advocating and promoting all kinds of destructive practices, including medical assistance in dying (euthanasia)—not just for the terminal hospice patient under the guise of mercy, but for anyone who is deemed to be suffering. In Belgium, it is now legal for people with mental illness to receive physician-assisted death as a treatment:

What has happened to the first rule of medical practice, which is first do no harm? Godlessness, the idea that humans are just animals evolved from lower life forms, happened. The problem with the godless worldview is that they have no basis for moral health, no foundation for properly making ethical, moral, and principled-based decisions. Whatever the prevailing winds of cultural mood, the godless will be swept away by them.

One final example of how godlessness has corrupted medicine was revealed at a recent national mental health symposium in which one of the presentations was stated to highlight the racial biases and inequities in the healthcare system. The lecturer presented childhood risk factors that increase the risk of developing a mental health disorder later in life and rightly identified such elements as poverty, lack of education, poor nutrition, abuse, and neglect; the speaker supported this by citing several journal articles that have documented these findings. [1] [2]

But what was diagnostic and evidence of the godless bias in medicine is that the root cause that increases every other risk factor was not included in the presentation nor in the articles cited—and that factor is single-parent homes. A single-parent home is the risk factor that most increases the risk of poverty, low education, food insecurity, incarceration, and child abuse. The Institute for Family Studies documents that:

  • Black children in America from two-parent homes consistently do better than white children from single-parent homes:
    • 36% of young black women from intact families have graduated from college, compared to just 28% of young white women from single-parent families.
    • 14% of young black men from intact families have been incarcerated, compared to 18% of young white men from single-parent families.
    • 13% of black children in intact families are poor compared to 33% of white children in single-parent families. [3]

Why would this factor not be presented? Because it doesn’t fit the godless narrative that underpins the current attack on Christianity that masquerades as racial equity—Critical Race Theory. According to Critical Race Theory, a two-parent home is considered part of “Whitism” and to support a two-parent home is “racist.” [4] Therefore, to advocate the benefits of a two-parent home would be, in the godless worldview, racist and, therefore, this fact must be left out.

Therefore, in order to continue to advance the godless narrative, which dominates corporate medicine and the sciences, the institutions of education, medicine, and psychiatry must deny objective reality. Their godless culture, worldview, and system of living is contrary to how God built reality to operate; thus, its application and practice will unavoidably result in causing harm.

Without a moral standard, without understanding design law, without God and His Word, the godless are obstructed from advancing interventions that restore genuine health. Just imagine what would happen if medicine, government, academia, and the media actually started promoting the benefits of two-parent homes and implementing policies that would strengthen families, families that function as God designed them to function, with mature individuals who love others more than self and who will fulfill the duties of their position, who are responsible, who hold each other accountable, who teach their children to respect others and develop self-governance, who value merit, hard work, and personal responsibility. What would be the result? Ever-increasing health and wellness in those people who practice these principles and a healthier society.

This is why the godless choose a different path. They take actions that lead to the breakdown of God’s design for families; the inevitable result is a degrading quality of life with subsequent physical and mental health problems, and then they focus on these poor outcomes to allege that God’s principles, which would resolve this sad state of affairs, are the cause of the problem. This causes many to look to the state to solve the problems that the state was causal in creating—a vicious cycle of reinforcing destruction.

The discerning Christian must understand that not all culture is equally valuable, not all culture is equally healthy. We are better off in America because Western cultural values eliminated cultural practices such as cannibalism and human sacrifice. But as the godless worldview becomes the dominant force in forming today’s culture, society will only decay because it is acting out of harmony with God’s design principles for life.

But as we watch this inevitable decay, we must keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, courageously live out His principles, trust Him with our lives, fortunes, families, and futures—and lift up our heads because our redemption draws near.

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 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 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 49

I came into the church at 21, but that is as far as it went. I was so confused about what love is. I couldn’t find it in the bible, because I am not a person that can read between the lines. I have no logic. I have read many, many books; trying to figure out the crux of the matter. They were helpful, but something was still missing. I have become very frustrated to the point of crying out to God, “Where can I go?”  I needed some basics.

I found two books, written by Timothy Jennings, MD, to be very helpful. God showed me that I had lived my whole life in fear. I didn’t even see it. Now, I do. God is so good.  I discovered the “The Remedy”  Dr. Jennings new book, “The God-Shaped Heart!” Oh, I was so excited, I purchased them right away.

I can get rid of most of my books, because “The Remedy” brings the Love of God out so clearly, even I can’t miss it. Now, I want to sit and read my Bible. Wow, what a revelation! It is just simply Awesome! I am so grateful to Jehovah Almighty for hearing my prayer for more understanding! I am so encouraged!

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 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 61

I grew up in a prominent protestant church and had what I like to call religious anxiety. I’ve always had questions about God and Salvation that no one could seem to answer.  I didn’t know how to find resolution. During 2020, at the height of my anxiety, I fell to my knees and begged God to show me truth and light and to give me the hope that I’ve been longing for. Days later, I stumbled upon your online videos and it was like a veil was lifted and EVERYTHING made sense! For the first time in my almost 39 years of life, my religious/spiritual anxiety has lessened. I feel a sense of freedom and peace I’ve NEVER had before… and it’s all because my view of God has changed. Thank you!

Testimony 50

After coming into contact with Come And Reason Ministries, I can finally say that many of my unanswered questions have fallen into place. I discovered that my view of God’s Law was “imposed laws and rules” with “imposed punishments” and that this was the major culprit of my many unanswered questions. Thanks be to God for using you and those around you to help us who have struggled with this “infection” of thought. I have now rejected the “imposed law” concept to fully embrace “Design Law”… to look thru “Design Law,” instead of “imposed law,” is a relief.

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.

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 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 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 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.

Testimony 47

I can’t even begin to thank you and your ministry enough for introducing me to the Truth about a loving and merciful God! I have my daughter and her in-laws to thank for sharing with me “The God-Shaped Brain” as well as your website. I listen to the Bible study class lessons on my daily walk. May God continue to bless your thirst-quenching ministry!
