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 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

Testimony 34

I was introduced to Come and Reason Ministries by accident, via a passing comment made in a bible study class we were visiting. I checked this website out and my life was changed. The understanding of the truth of God’s character, and how we apply it, is so right. The tricky part is consistently applying which “lens” to look through. As I began to understand, I started sharing the basics of this understanding with a discussion group I was leading and, suddenly, a lot of things started to make sense that never used to. At the same time, I enjoyed an amazing opportunity. I was able to conduct a full bible study at WORK! What an amazing experience! It is such a joy to share the truth about God and to share how it all fits in the war between God and Satan. So many people benefit when we have a correct understanding about how God works and who He really is! Thank you for this transformational understanding. Keep up the good work! God Bless you!

Testimony 21

I am absolutly on fire with the message at Come and Reason! I can’t get enough! I’ve read your book, blog, and articles. I’ve listened to your Bible study podcasts, your radio show, and your series – all excellent! It wasn’t until the past couple of years that I have I like I’m becoming “healthy,” with more to share with others than just beasts and commandments! I used to be a Bible worker and preached when the pastors were gone until I had had enough. I didnt realize at the time what the problem was, but i know now… the message wasn’t properly focused. Now my flame is rekindled. All of your little examples are so perfect in explaining something “complicated” and making it easily understood! Now I’m trying to shape it into a life changing evangelistic series! Thank you!

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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!

Testimony 76

Warm greetings from Tanzania! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team at Come And Reason Ministries for the amazing work you do. Your teachings have opened my eyes to deep biblical truths and how to live them out in real life. I started following the ministry back in 2018, and ever since, my walk with God has grown so much stronger. I’ve found freedom from fear-based faith and now live with more peace and trust in Him. I’ve also been sharing what I’ve learned, especially through Bible School discussions. Your lessons are so insightful and well-explained that I try not to miss a single one. May God continue to bless the work you’re doing.

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.

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 51

I Love This Ministry!!!!!!! I see first hand how this message is desperately needed, how erroneous beliefs about God and His Character negatively affect humanity at every level. I thank God for your ministry, as I was searching on my own and was discovering some of your same beliefs and was blown away when I found your ministry. I know you hear it all the time, but it is truly life changing. May God continue to reveal His Will to you and Bless you!

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!

Ashleighn C.

 

Testimony 72

I am blown away by the truth that you present. God’s Design Law makes so much sense! You have validated my impression that, if God is love, He would not kill those who don’t want to know him. If God gives us choice, then how can He destroy us if our choice is not to follow him. Thank you for opening my eyes and heart to the pure love of God seen through Jesus. The love I now have for Jesus is deeper and free from condemnation. My heart has been opened to love others as Jesus loves me. May God continue to bless your God-given insight into His word and your ministry. The truth has set me free!

H. Miller, Centereach, NY
