Обърква ли те науката понякога?

Обърква ли те науката понякога?

Били ли сте някога объркани от „научни открития“, за които се съобщава, че по някакъв начин опровергават Библията?

Например, твърдението,че науката е открила генетични предразположения към алкохолизма.

Когато тази генетична слабост беше открита за първи път, някои твърдяха, че Библията трябва да бъде захвърлена, че науката е открила истинските корени на човешките неволи – нашите гени, и че скоро науката ще открие лечението. Но още преди хилядолетия Библията разкри, че човечеството е генетично увредено. Науката едва сега наваксва.

В Псалм 51 Давид заявява, че е бил „роден в грях и заченат в беззаконие.” Той е роден биологично дефектен. Първото Послание на Йоан ни казва, че нашите биологични предразположения включват гордост, чувствени и физически страсти, и алчност. Бог разкри закона на генетиката точно в сърцето на 10-те заповеди, когато Той, Който ни е създал, Който ни е проектирал такива каквито сме, казва, че беззаконието ще бъде предавано до третото и четвъртото поколение. Да, всички ние имаме биологични слабости. Всички ние имаме генетична уязвимост. Всички ние сме наследили склонност към злото – това не е голям научен пробив, а науката просто потвърждава това, което Библията е казвала през цялото време.

И все пак, научната общност би искала да вярваме, че чрез науката, без нашия Създател, можем да намерим “научни” решения, за да излекуваме коренните проблеми на човечеството. Така те отхвърлят Библията и Божието решение, разкрито в нея. Но защо интелигентни хора искат да отхвърлят религията на Библията?

През 2005 г. Грег Пол, независим изследовател от Балтимор, Мериленд, публикува проучване, в което се опитва да определи количествено отрицателните ефекти на религията (Journal of Religion and Society, том 7, стр. 1). Той сравнява нивата на религиозност с различни показатели за социална дисфункция в 18 развити страни. Заключава, че страни с по-високи нива на вяра и поклонение, имат по-високи нива на убийства, смърт сред деца и младежи, болести, предавани по полов път, бременност в юношеска възраст и аборти. Грег Пол вярва, че моралът не произтича от религията и че религията произтича от несигурността в обществото. “Масовата вяра в боговете е преди всичко страх и реакция, основаваща се на безпокойство при недостатъчно сигурни финансови обстоятелства, и няма дълбока невробиологична, генетична или друга основа”, казва той (цитиран от What Good is God New Scientist, 1 септември 2007 г.).

Това, което заключава Грег Пол, също не е новост. Библията ни е учила през цялото време, че „формалното религиозно поклонение” на човечеството няма силата да трансформира сърцето, да излекува ума или да промени характера. Никой няма да бъде трансформиран, пресъздаден или да стане “морален” чрез спазване на религиозни ритуали, обреди или церемонии (Римляни 3:20). Всъщност Библията предрече и описа ситуацията, в която живеем днес, дори по-добре от резултатите на цитираното изследване:

“А това да знаеш, че в последните дни ще настанат усилни времена. Защото човеците ще бъдат себелюбиви, сребролюбиви, надменни, горделиви, хулители, непокорни на родителите, неблагодарни, нечестиви, без семейна обич, непримирими, клеветници, невъздържни, свирепи, неприятели на доброто, предатели, буйни, надути, повече сластолюбиви, а не боголюбиви, имащи вид на благочестие, но отречени от силата му; тоже от такива страни.” 2 Тимотей 3:1-5

Тези религиозни хора имат вид на благочестие, но отричат променящата живота, изцеляващата сърцето, преобразяващата характера сила – и каква е тази сила? Апостол Павел казва, че Евангелието е “Божията сила за спасението (изцелението) на всеки, който вярва” (Римляни 6:23).

Какво е Евангелието? Добра новина, но каква добра новина? Добрата новина за самия Бог – че Бог е точно Такъв, какъвто Исус Го разкри, че е; че Бог е любов и по-скоро би умрял, отколкото да използва силата Си, за да ни навреди! Именно тази истина е толкова извратена, толкова изкривена, толкова погрешно представена от религиите по света, че мнозина възприемат Бог като строг диктатор, който се радва да измъчва децата Си. А религия, която е изпълнена с лъжи за Бога, не само не може да лекува, но действително вреди на ума, изкривява характера и унищожава душата. Когато се вярват лъжи за Бога, Библията казва, че умът се помрачава, става глупав и покварен. Не можем да бъдем изцелени, докато вярваме в лъжи за Бога.

Бог е любов. Бог е точно Такъв, какъвто Исус го разкри – Бог, Който не се нуждае от умилостивение, за да ни обича, Бог, Който не се нуждае Неговия Син да Го умолява, за да ни прощава. Той е Бог, Който ни обича толкова много, че даде всичко, което имаше да ни спаси и изцели. Ако искаш да видиш истината за този Бог, погледни единственото истинско, ясно, не извратено откровение, погледни към Исус, който каза: “Който е видял Мене, видял е Отца.” (Йоан 14:9).

Приемането на истината за Бога, разкрита в Исус, е първата стъпка към изцелението, защото истината ни връща в състояние на доверие в Бога. Като се доверяваме, ние правим втората стъпка и поканваме Бог да влезе в сърцата и умовете ни. След това се излива Святият Дух, Който ни изпълва с божествена енергия, съзидателна енергия, която ни лекува, преобразява и възстановява, за да бъдем като Христос. Нашите мисли стават в хармония с Него, нашите желания стават като Неговите, нашите мечти, стремежи и копнежи са пречистени и нашите умове и характери биват излекувани. Така че без значение какви са нашите слабости, без значение какви са нашите недостатъци, без значение какви са нашите генетични дефекти, когато сме спечелени отново да се доверим на Бог, можем да бъдем напълно излекувани!

Testimony 75

Thank you so much for everything you do! Because of all these truths, I’m excited to be with Jesus! I always pray everyday, “COME TODAY, JESUS.” Before finding C&R, I was always praying for delays, “NOT TODAY OH GOD. I AM NOT READY.” I just need to share more, talk more bout this truth, so everybody will be excited for Jesus.

J C Shin

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 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.

Testimony 35

I am so pleased with the response your message is receiving at my church from the middle-aged to the young adults. I have given out 100 copies of the first two seminars and there are more request every week. One of my [class members] came to me after viewing the series, grateful and impressed with how easy the message was retained. He had been a Seventh-day Adventist in fear all his life, and felt like the scales were removed from his eyes after viewing the seminars. I am so impressed by the change I see in members who have received this message, we are in one accord. However, I am sadden by the negative response of the older people. I am verbally attacked anytime I talk about imposed laws, but I believe my mission is to enlightened everyone I can. I watch your Bible Study Class on YouTube every Friday night and I feel like I am apart of the class. All of you are in one accord and I am so blessed to have found you. I pray that all of you continue to spread this message and I am committed to doing my part.

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 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!!!

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 48

I just want to tell you how blessed I have been reading “The Remedy!” It has become a daily part of my devotional relationship with God. In it I have found a God of love and a God that loves me! The bible has come alive for me! It is the first time that I can say that I have felt hope fill my heart as I have read God’s word. This is good news I can share! Thank you, Dr Jennings! Thank you for your heart for others. I can’t put into words how this has set me free! It has strengthened my trust and love for 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 67

I was introduced to Come And Reason by a friend of my mother-in-law, who gave me several CD’s of Dr. Jennings. The clarity of the message and recognition that God’s is a God of love was so clear, advancing beyond Dr. Maxwell’s message. However, grappled with Maxwell saying God used emergency measures for the fallen world. Now after several years of being a regular listener of the Come And Reasoning bible study class and attending Jennings’ meetings in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, things are becoming clearer for me. Design law versus imposed law has added so much to my personal understanding of theology. This message has really impacted my work in counseling so many people miserable because they are searching for and trusting human governments to create order and peace or believing in a God who says love Me or I will kill you. I am grateful that I have an alternative view to offer my clients that makes sense. I teach a bible study class on a semi-regular basis and I value the materials that Come And Reason so freely offers to aid me in presenting this vital message. Thank you for continuing to provide advancement in our very limited understanding of a Infinite God that is rational and believable.

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 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!

Testimony 39

[This ministry is the] biggest blessing I have ever received! Your DVDs and lessons could not have come at a better time in my life. I have experienced in the past year many difficulties that, if it wasn’t for this wonderful view of God that I have discovered through this ministry, I would not have been able to respond in love and forgiveness. My heart is being transformed everyday by the Calvary-looking God you teach. Hallelujah!! I have tears in my eyes as I write, because my life has taken a complete turn from where I was heading.

I am from Central America. Most of my family is scattered in different parts of the world and all have the same view of God that I had growing up; a distant, exacting, and ready-to-punish-us-with-tragedy type of God. So, I have been translating lessons for my family and, to my surprise, they have also been sharing them with others! I can already see the difference. My brother has often said, “Thank you for sharing, I have never heard it this way!” My other family members are taking an amazing turn from a message of “repent or burn” towards a loving God, pleading to us that we won’t reject him because he loves us eternally.

Bless you for all you do.

Sofia S., Ashfield, MA, 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.
