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 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

 

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 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 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.

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.”

Tom W., Mt. Pleasant, MI, USA

 

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 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

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!

Paul C.,  Springfield, MA, USA

 

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.

Thando N., South Africa

 

Testimony 14

We really appreciate your views on the judgment and they make good sense considering our free choice.

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.

Chris P., Lake Mary, FL, USA

 

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 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 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 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!
