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 7

Ok, so last night I listened to “The Law of Liberty” and “How to Achieve Victory: Freedom, Truth and Spirtual Warfare.” These are both MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES so far! The logic is just soooooo beautiful. I had to re-listen to them a couple of times. I just want to EXPLODE! (<< we assume with joy and happiness)

N. B., Canada

 

Testimony 12

I have been really blessed reading your response to the various questions on your site.

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.

Dr. Roger D, Arlington, TX, USA

 

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 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 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 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 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 36

Thank you and may God continue to bless you as you share with others the intricacies of how we are all “fearfully and wonderfully made”. I must share that you have opened a whole new world to me, and I have found tremendous healing through what you have shared in two of your books, “Could It Be This Simple?” and “The God Shaped Brain.” I praise God for what you shared, what I have learned, and how I have grown and healed! My prayer is that My Precious Jesus will be seen by others in the way I live, act, talk, etc. and they may be encouraged to know He is truly a GREAT God of LOVE, desiring that no one should perish! God Bless you in your continued endeavors to present Him as He really is!

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 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 43

Two years ago I stumbled upon your book, “Could It Be This Simple,” and then found “The God-Shaped Brain” videos on YouTube, your bible study class, and the ‘Come And Reason’ mobile app. I shared your book with a friend and after nine months of showing love, patience, and kindness this person has been changed by the love of God, too. The same love that healed me, I now express to other women in tangible ways, such as to a Baptist woman with high anxiety and childhood trauma. She was extremely happy and relieved when I shared about the so-called “judgment of God” and burning in hell. She had no desire to serve a God that was so harsh. I have repeated the phrase dozens of times to her. “What we believe has power over us, but we have power over what we believe…”

This message that you are sharing has changed my life. I will continue to serve other women and bring this message of God’s healing love to their lives by sharing your books, YouTube videos, and The Remedy Bible app. Keep up the good work. Don’t be discouraged. God is doing a mighty work in and through this ministry!

Jill L., Midwest, 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 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.

Helen D., London, England

 

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!
