CÓMO SATANÁS ATACA EL CARÁCTER DE DIOS

CÓMO SATANÁS ATACA EL CARÁCTER DE DIOS

“Pues aunque vivimos en el mundo, no libramos batallas como lo hace el mundo. Las armas con que luchamos no son del mundo, sino que tienen el poder divino para derribar fortalezas. Destruimos argumentos y toda altivez que se levanta contra el conocimiento de Dios, y llevamos cautivo todo pensamiento para que se someta a Cristo.” (2 Corintios 10:3-5)

Satanás es el padre de las mentiras (Juan 8:44), y sus mentiras principales son sobre Dios. Satanás entiende que cuando la gente conoce la verdad sobre Dios, su poder sobre ellos se rompe y la confianza en Dios se restaura. Por lo cual Satanás trabaja muy duro introduciendo mentiras sobre Dios en nuestras mentes, creencias, cosmovisión, doctrinas, sistemas educativos, e iglesias.

Mientras más mentiras creamos, más difícil será conocer a Dios y confiar en él. Dios es el creador de toda la realidad. Su carácter es amor, y sus métodos son verdad, amor y libertad. En Jesús, la plenitud de Dios habitó en forma humana (Colosense 2:9). Podemos conocer la verdad sobre el carácter de Dios porque fue revelado en la vida de Jesús. Si hemos visto a Jesús, entonces hemos visto al Padre.

Pero aun los discípulos no parecían entender esto:

Señor —dijo Felipe—, muéstranos al Padre y con eso nos basta.

 —¡Pero, Felipe! ¿Tanto tiempo llevo ya entre ustedes, y todavía no me conoces? El que me ha visto a mí ha visto al Padre. ¿Cómo puedes decirme: “Muéstranos al Padre”?  ¿Acaso no crees que yo estoy en el Padre, y que el Padre está en mí? Las palabras que yo les comunico, no las hablo como cosa mía, sino que es el Padre, que está en mí, el que realiza sus obras. Créanme cuando les digo que yo estoy en el Padre y que el Padre está en mí; o al menos créanme por las obras mismas.

Uno de los propósitos de Jesús en venir fue para revelarnos al Padre. En su oración, exactamente antes de su crucifixión, Jesús dijo:

Yo te he glorificado en la tierra, y he llevado a cabo la obra que me encomendaste. A los que me diste del mundo les he revelado quién eres. Eran tuyos; tú me los diste y ellos han obedecido tu palabra” (Juan 17:4,6)

Satanás odia la verdad sobre Dios, y odia cuando la verdad sobre Dios es revelada. Así, que el trabaja para oscurecer la verdad sobre Dios, infectarla con mentiras, pervertirla con distorsiones, corromperla con aspectos de su propio carácter de modo que las personas eventualmente reemplazen la verdad sobre Dios con una falsificación a la imagen de Satanás.

Hay muchas formas en las que Satanás ataca la imagen de Dios; aquí hay algunas:

  • Reemplazando la verdad de que la ley de Dios es un protocolo diseñado sobre el cual el Creador construyó la realidad para funcionar. Con la mentira de que la ley de Dios no funciona de manera diferente a las reglas que los humanos pecadores inventan. Una vez esta mentira es creída, causa que Dios sea visto como:
    • La fuente de dolor, sufrimiento, y la muerte como castigo por el pecado:
      • Esta mentira se manifiesta cuando la gente pregunta ¿qué pecado cometí que Dios le dio a mi hijo cáncer? O ¿qué pecado cometí para que mi esposo me engañara? O los amigos de Job argumentando que la calamidad que le sucedió a Job fue porque Dios le estaba castigando por algún pecado.
    • Alguien de quien necesitamos protección:
      • Esta mentira se manifiesta en la enseñanza de que se tienen que hacer pagos a un dios castigador, para lograr algo en ese dios, y que no nos castigue.
    • Dios es de carácter diferente al de Jesús – que Jesús es misericordioso y amante mientras que el Padre es severo y castigador.
  • Al socavar la divinidad de Cristo:
    • Si Jesús no es Dios completamente, entonces su muerte revela que Dios está dispuesto a sacrificar a otros para protegerse a él mismo, lo que hace a Dios que sea más egoísta que amoroso.
    • Si Jesús no es completamente Dios, entonces Dios es algo más que amor porque el amor no existe y no funciona en singularidad; amor funcional, activo requiere a otros. Si hubo un tiempo en que Jesús no existía, entonces Dios era algo más que amor en ese tiempo.
  • Al socavar la divinidad del Espíritu Santo:
    • Si el Espíritu Santo no es completamente divino con su propia identidad e individualidad, entonces Dios es algo distinto del amor, ya que el amor opera plenamente sólo con un otro y  con un mínimo de tres.
      • Dos individuos pueden existir en una díada de refuerzo narcisista en la que ambos se adoran mutuamente, siendo gratificados y sostenidos en esa atención. Pero cuando un tercero entra y llama la atención de uno, surge la ira y la hostilidad. El amor ágape solo existe cuando se manifiesta un genuino sacrificio de uno mismo por la beneficencia del otro.
    • Negar la existencia del Espíritu Santo socava el carácter de Dios y refuerza la noción de un Dios egocéntrico con una jerarquía al estilo del gobierno.
  • Sugerir que Dios opera sobre una autoridad jerárquica – con un ser que manda sobre otros:
    • Este es el método de Satanás y su gobierno (Isaías 14.) Pero como Jesús es completamente Dios, lo vemos como se describe en Filipenses capitulo dos, quien, siendo por naturaleza Dios, no consideró el ser igual a Dios como algo a qué aferrarse. Por el contrario, se rebajó voluntariamente, tomando la naturaleza de siervo y haciéndose semejante a los seres humanos. Y, al manifestarse como hombre, se humilló a sí mismo para levantar a otros. No hay jerarquía entre la Deidad. Ellos son todos eternos e iguales en poder y autoridad.
  • Enseñando que no hay Dios y que los humanos evolucionaron al azar por su propia cuenta:
    • Esto socava no sólo a Dios si no también la naturaleza y el propósito de la humanidad.
    • Esto socava nuestra individualidad y la santidad de la vida.
  • Enseñando que Dios utilizó la evolución para crear:
    • La evolución enseña que los organismos se adaptan y avanzan eliminando la competencia más débil para tomar los recursos. Por lo tanto esta mentira enseña que Dios usa el dolor, sufrimiento, y muerte para crear.
    • Dios es la fuente de vida, dicho a la existencia por su palabra; según la Biblia, Satanás y el pecado son las fuentes y causas reales de la muerte.

Estamos en una guerra por nuestros corazones y mentes, y el problema central de esta guerra es el conocimiento de Dios. No escuches las mentiras. Enfócate en Jesús, en su palabra, la verdad de Dios que ha mostrado para que veamos, y podamos volver a amarlo y confiar en nuestro increíble Salvador, cuyas leyes son el protocolo del amor incorporados a la realidad. Vida, salud, y felicidad son solo posibles viviendo una vida de armonía con Dios y sus diseños para la vida – así que no creas las mentiras; abraza y vive la verdad!

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 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 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.”

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.

Testimony 33

I was invited over a friend’s house to see the “God and Your Brain” seminar today. I became [a christian] 36 years ago at the age of 19, but have struggled with the concept of God taking His ‘pound of flesh’ out on His Son to be appeased. Wow. Your seminar has been an incredible revelation and breath of reason and fresh air! I have your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” and it is SO eye opening. Finally, after 36 years enlightenment has come! Praise the Good Lord! What can I say, but that the Real Gospel is truly “Good News!” Thank you for your efforts in giving the Gospel a clear sound!

Testimony 66

I am incredibly grateful for the transformative impact you’ve had on my life, and words cannot fully express my appreciation. Over the years, I have been an avid listener and follower of C&R and extend my heartfelt thanks for creating the C&R mobile app. It has allowed me to immerse myself in your lessons repeatedly, enabling me to grasp the profound significance about the Character of God, Design Law, the protocols for life, the reasons behind the current chaos, and Christ’s mission to restore everything. They have deeply touched me. Having studied with various churches, I came away with the perception that God is no different from the deities of ancient Greek or Roman mythology—demanding sacrifices and taking pleasure in bloodshed. Thanks to your transformative teachings, I have experienced a profound awakening to the true nature of God and the immense power of His love. It is truly a remarkable and liberating sensation to finally grasp the truth and embrace the empowering nature of God’s laws. My self-perception has become brighter and more infused with love. My journey of growth continues on a daily basis.

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)

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 41

I have been blessed by your ministry. I have experienced personally, and deeply resonate with, the God of love and the beautiful picture of God’s character that you present. I have seen your seminar series on YouTube, read ‘The Journal of the Watcher’ book, used your mobile app, and also listen/study the bible study lesson with you each week. I concur with many of the thoughts and perspectives that you share. I understand your conclusions on natural laws vs imposed law and the legal/penal substitution (incorrect diagnosis). This makes perfect sense to me.

Bless you for all you do.

Testimony 63

I’ve been very blessed by “The God Shaped Brain” and this ministry, through video and podcast, over the last few years. It’s truly opened up my eyes more to the truth about God and the importance of that truth in the present world. The message is so inviting, freeing and enlightening and MORE people need to know about it. I believe it is the last message that can truly, not only prepare a people for salvation and translation, but vindicate the character of God.

Michael V., Yonkers, NY, USA

 

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.

I truly believe that to know who God really is the first step to understand ourselves in a balanced and kind way, so the healing can take place. Your approach really makes sense – Thank you for your ministry!
