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 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!!!

Testimony 53

I was so blessed by a friend who gave me your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” while I was sitting in church asking God to please help me learn more about Him and help me not to be so confused and scared. That was about 2 years ago. Your books have helped me to love God even more. I’m not confused or scared anymore! I have listened to all of your bible study classes and feel like I know the wonderful people that attend every week. Thank you for all that you’re doing in spreading the true message about God and His law of love. God bless you and your whole class.

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 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 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 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 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 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!

Testimony 22

I have found your Bible study class lectures to be very inspiring and useful as I prepare to teach class every other week. I subscribe to the podcast and download your notes on the weeks I teach. The audio and notes are such a great help in preparing. My own understanding of God’s character has grown as I teach the class. Commendations on the thought-provoking and well-prepared material Come and Reason provides. Personally, I get excited by the tie you make between the spiritual and mental/physical domains.

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 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 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 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 74

Thank you so much for opening my eyes. I’ve been through a lot of ministries that just didn’t show the love of God that I felt he was. You have helped me to begin the process of true healing. I thought I was “too far gone,” now I know there’s hope in Jesus, because he loves us beyond what we can comprehend. Thank you again for all you do. I truly appreciate it and pray more people find you (physical at your studio and through this website).

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.
