Does Science Ever Confuse You?

Does Science Ever Confuse You?

Have you ever been confused by “scientific discoveries” that are reported to, in some way, refute the Bible? For instance, science has discovered genetic predispositions to alcoholism.

When this genetic weakness was first discovered, some argued that the Bible needed to be tossed, that science had discovered the real roots of mankind’s woes to be our genes and soon science would discover our cure. But the Bible, millennia ago, revealed mankind to be genetically defective and science is just now catching up.

In Psalms 51, David states he was “born in sin and conceived in iniquity.” He was born biologically defective. 1John tells us that our biological predispositions include pride, sensual and physical lusts and greed. God revealed the law of genetics right in the heart of the 10 Commandments when He, who created us, who designed us the way we are, said that iniquity would be passed down to the third and fourth generations. Yes, we all have biological weaknesses. We all have genetic vulnerabilities. We all have inherited propensities toward evil – this is no great scientific breakthrough, this is science confirming what the Bible has been telling us all along.

Yet, the scientific community would like us to believe that we, through science, apart from our Creator, can find “scientific” solutions to heal humanity’s root problems. Thus they reject the Bible and God’s solution found therein. But why would intelligent people want to reject the religion of the Bible?

In 2005, Greg Paul, an independent researcher from Baltimore, Maryland, published a study that attempted to quantify negative effects of religion (Journal of Religion and Society, vol 7, p 1). He compared levels of religiosity with various indicators of social dysfunction in 18 developed nations. He concluded that countries with higher rates of belief and worship had higher rates of homicide, death among children and young adults, sexually transmitted diseases, teen pregnancy and abortion. Paul now believes that morality does not stem from religion, and that religion arises from insecurity within society. “Mass belief in gods is primarily a fear and anxiety-based response to insufficiently secure financial circumstances, and does not have a deep neurobiological, genetic or other basis,” he says (quoted from What Good is God New Scientist September 1, 2007). 

What Greg Paul concluded is no news flash either. The Bible has taught all along that mankind’s “religious observations” have no power to transform the heart, heal the mind or change the character. No one will be transformed, recreated or become “moral” by observing religious rituals, ordinances or ceremonies (Romans 3:20). In fact, the Bible predicted this very end time situation in which we live and even the results of the study above:

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God — having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. 2Timothy 3:1-5

These religious people have a form of godliness but deny the life changing, heart-healing, character transforming power thereof – and what is that power? The apostle Paul said that the gospel is “the power of God for the salvation (healing) of everyone who trusts.” (Romans 1:16).

What, then, is the gospel? Good news, but what good news? The good news about God Himself – that God is just like Jesus revealed Him to be, that God is love and He would rather die Himself than use His power to harm you! It is this truth which has been so perverted, so twisted, so misrepresented by religions the world over that to many God is seen as a stern dictator who takes pleasure in torturing His children. And religion, when filled with lies about God, not only cannot heal but actually damages the mind, warps the character and destroys the soul. When lies about God are retained, the Bible says the mind becomes darkened, foolish and depraved. We cannot be healed as long as we retain lies about God in our minds.

God is love. God is just like Jesus revealed Him to be – a God who does not need appeasement to love us, a God who does not need His Son to plead with Him to be forgiving, but a God who loved us so much He gave everything He had to save and heal us. If you want to see the truth about this God, look at the only genuine, clear, un-perverted revelation, look to Jesus who said, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father, for the Father and I are one.” John 14:9.

Accepting the truth about God, as revealed in Jesus, is the first step toward healing, for the truth wins us back to trust. And in trust, we take the second step and invite God into our hearts and minds. The Holy Spirit is then poured out which infuses us with divine energy, recreative energy which heals, transforms and regenerates us to be like Christ. Our thoughts are brought into harmony with His, our desires our changed to be like His, our dreams, aspirations and longings are purified and our minds and characters are healed. So no matter what our weaknesses, no matter what our shortcomings, no matter what our genetic defects, when we are won back to trust we can be fully healed!

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!!

Tammy Cinzio, 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 25

I just want to say thank you so much for your conversations via YouTube. I regularly tune in to your lectures, “Let’s Talk” sessions, and many others. Through these I’ve found greater depth and meaning to God’s word. Thanks for all that you do and please continue. I’m currently working in the middle of Silicon Valley at Stanford University. I feel like God really has me in the right place right now and I’m sensing that your teachings might be part of it.

Testimony 15

I have been sharing Come And Reason Ministries Bible study lessons with several folk. You have such a beautiful view of the plan of salvation. If we had this message preached when I was young, my generation would still all be in church.

H. R., New Zealand

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!

M.K., USA

 

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!

Eric S., Sanford, FL, USA

 

Testimony 27

Your teachings about our heavenly Father have changed my life. Thank you sooooooo very very much! I know He’s doing some serious healing in my heart and life and I look forward to each new day to learn something new about Him and to just hear you speak about Him. Thank you, forever.

Nancy S.

 

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 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 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.

T. C., IN, USA

 

Testimony 59

I’m a native Ghanan, but am currently in France for my master’s degree. Prior to this, during my final years at undergraduate studies in Ghana, I was introduced to your ministry and I’ve been immensely blessed by what you share, especially about the Design and Imposed Laws. God richly bless you for that.

One of the first things I did when I arrived in France was to buy all four of your books. They not only helped me, but those I shared them with. I shared the message with an atheist student and I marveled at how God worked mightily in his life. Today this person shares the Love of God with others and debunks theories of who God is not. I want to share what you present in your “Heavenly Sanctuary and Investigative Judgment” pamphlet, because the message brought rest to my soul and I live today as a healthy person.

God bless you so much and your ministry.

Michael A., Ghana

 

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 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!

Wheinny P., University Place, WA, USA

 

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.

K.B., LA, USA

 

Testimony 44

We were given a gift of the DVD set, “God and Your Brain,” and we just finished watching it. The truths in this are so powerful and truly an answer to a prayer. We’re seeing hope where once we thought God wasn’t answering our prayers to be free of certain mindsets. He answered with these DVDs and we are hungry for more. Thank you!

Daniel T., Easley, SC, USA
