How to Get Good People to Do Evil

How to Get Good People to Do Evil

Have you ever wondered how people who consider themselves to be good can end up doing evil?

The Jewish religious leaders, who considered themselves blessed by God and who actively sought to do what they thought was right, which was to keep the law, ended up breaking their own laws—holding an illegal trial and bringing in perjurers—and ended up crucifying Christ, all under the guise of being religiously and morally righteous.

Saul of Tarsus, zealous for God, went forth with temple guards to arrest, imprison, and punish people who chose to believe in Jesus, thinking he was upholding the “standards,” doing what was right and good in protecting the orthodoxy, but he was actually warring against God and all that is truly righteous. (Do you recognize this same method of force and coercion to punish people who convert to Christianity—used by another religious group in the Middle East today under the guise of doing God’s will?)

We see the same dysfunction in the church of the Dark Ages, filled with priests, prelates, and popes who claimed to be following the will of God even as they led the people into the Crusades, Inquisition, and the torture and execution of those who believed differently. All of this was promoted under the umbrella of doing right, doing justice, and doing the will of God.

The beast of Revelation is prophesied to arise and lead the world into the final war against God and the truly righteous people of God, but the beast will not rise under the umbrella of an evil organization, as a movement opposed to God, but as a movement seeking to do justice, to police right and wrong, to stop the abuses and injustices in society. And all but the very elect will join the beast in abusing their fellow humans while thinking they are doing right and good.

But the question is how?

Calling Evil Good

How can the devil trick people who want to do good into choosing to cooperate, participate, and practice evil upon their fellow citizens?

By getting good people to conclude that the evil they are doing is actually good:

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter (Isaiah 5:20 NIV84).

But how can the devil get people to believe evil is good? By getting people to change the standard that determines, defines, differentiates what is evil and what is good. They do this by redefining words, terms, and beliefs such that norms, customs, taboos, and laws actually teach that doing evil is good and doing good is evil—and then passing laws to make doing evil legal! This is the work of modern-day sorcery. (see our blog The Attack on Your Mind by Modern Day Sorcerers).

The Nazis got the German people to participate in genocide by first redefining norms, by propaganda that dehumanized the Jews, and then passing laws that made discrimination legal, culminating in active participation in evil by society at large.

Today, we see the world being led down the same pathway. Terms are being redefined to mean something that they historically did not mean and, in this way, sow confusion and get people to participate in something they think is good but is actually harmful.

Our first example of this is how the meaning of the words vaccine and vaccination have been changed. Historically, vaccines were inoculations that produced immunity to a disease. If you were vaccinated—and it functioned as intended—i.e., you did not experience a failed vaccine—you would develop immunity and could not get sick from that disease.

However, in order to deceive people into taking an experimental substance with no ability to provide immunity and with no evidence of long-term safety, the meaning of the words vaccine and vaccination have been changed; they now are defined as an inoculation that induces an immune response, not something that provides immunity. Note the change in definition as documented below:

1982
  • Vaccine: “any preparation intended for active immunological prophylaxis” (Steadman’s Medical Dictionary, 24th Edition, 1982 Waverly Press, Baltimore, MD, p. 1,526, my emphasis). Prophylaxis means the prevention of disease.
  • Vaccination: “1. Inoculation with the virus of cowpox (vaccine, vaccinia) as a means of producing immunity against 2. The injection of a killed culture of a specific microbe as a means of prophylaxis or cure of the disease caused by that microorganism” (ibid., my emphasis).
1998
  • Vaccine: “Agent used to give immunity against various diseases without producing symptoms” (The American Desk Encyclopedia, Oxford University Press, New York, 1998, p. 837, my emphasis).
  • Vaccination: “Injection of a vaccine in order to produce immunity against a disease” (ibid., my emphasis).
2024
  • Vaccine: Any preventive preparation used to stimulate the body’s immune response against a specific disease, using either messenger RNA or killed or weakened bacteria or viruses to prepare the body to recognize a disease and produce antibodies (Dictionary.com, 2024, my emphasis).

Stimulating an immune response is not the same as providing immunity—thus, the deception that COVID-19 jabs are vaccines. In that they do stimulate an immune response, they are, under the new definition, a vaccine. However, in that they do not provide immunity, do not prevent infection, spread, or reinfection, they are, under the historical definition, not vaccines!

Thus, having been conditioned throughout their lives to believe a vaccine will provide protection, people lined up to take these “vaccines.” And this falsehood was reinforced by pundits, political leaders, and healthcare officials who repeatedly told the public that getting the jab would provide immunity, would prevent spread, would make us safe, all the while they knew it would not. These new injections, instead of protecting from infection, instead of strengthening the immune system, have done just the opposite—the more of these injections people get, the more likely they are to get infected with COVID and have less effective immune systems.

The Destruction of Objective Reality

We see this assault on minds by the war to redefine terms in words like truth—“your truth is your truth, and my truth is my truth”—in which objective reality, facts, and evidence are replaced with subjective emotions, preferences, desires, and fantasies.

We see this redefining of words in the current U.S. presidential race in the repeated accusations from one party that their opponent is a “threat to democracy.” I have received emails from people who are fearful that this is true—but why are they asking me that? Because they are not thinking; they are allowing their minds to be influenced by propaganda and are not examining the facts and evidence for themselves. For instance, they don’t stop and ask, “What is democracy?” If they did, they would find it means: “government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system” (dictionary.com).

A democracy is when officials are elected by the people in an honest and free electoral system. If those who have emailed me would examine what has happened in this current election cycle; if they would train their minds to look at facts and evidence and not proclamations and claims; if they would learn how to value reality rather than believe what they have been told by various pundits, they would recognize that the candidate being accused of being a threat to democracy is the one who was elected by the people in a free and open primary, and the party making the accusations is the one who had powerful elites remove their candidate, whom the people elected, and replace that candidate with someone who was not elected by the people.

This blog is not making a political argument for or against any party or candidate, for all governments of the world are part of Satan’s kingdom. I am writing this to provide real-time evidence as a demonstration that in the world around us, methods are being used that undermine individual thinking, trapping people into belief systems where they don’t even recognize what they are saying is untrue. And because they believe the untruth is truth, they are likely to end up believing they are doing right by advancing something that is false. This is exactly how the beast of Revelation will get so many people who think they are doing right to follow it.

Another example of redefining words to entrap minds into confusion and lead people to advance causes that harm under the belief they are doing good is redefining “male” and “female” from objective biology to subjective internal feelings, and then passing laws to support the falsehood, which leads to people believing they are doing good by supporting “transgendered” people in “gender-affirming care,” and biological males in female sports. But all of this only causes harm to everyone. It causes harm to families, communities, and girls who are injured in sports by much stronger biological males, to girls and women who are victims of male assault (biological males who claim to be females and are given access to female bathrooms and locker rooms). It harms children who are mutilated in unnecessary surgeries. And it causes harm to the hearts and minds of people who are taught that there is no objective truth, no objective reality, and, thus, leads them to surrender their minds to voices of authority.

Moreover, it prevents the precious souls who are struggling with real problems, real gender confusion, real identity disturbance, and real mental and emotional health issues from being able to be healed, to find wellness, because it obstructs truth and advances falsehood. No healing comes from lies! Only the truth heals; only the truth sets free. And our society is so infected with deception that millions of people are being duped into believing there is no such thing as male and female, that a person’s subjective feeling about themselves is more reliable, accurate, and true than the biological realities of their being.

Rather than recognizing that a mind believing itself incongruent with its own biology is evidence of a mental health problem, an identity disturbance, some form of body dysmorphia, people are being told that biology is false, that there is no objective male and female. But if there is no objective male and female, then there is no objective anything—and that is the true goal, to remove any standard of measuring right and wrong, good and evil, to turn evil into good and deceive people into doing evil while calling it good, such as mutilating children under the guise of “gender-affirming care.”

And once it is defined as doing good, then laws can be passed to remove parental rights, to put the state in charge of children; such laws have already been passed in Minnesota. There, parents who do not support their minor children’s confusion about themselves are threatened with having their children taken from them. Oh, how evil is being called good and good is being called evil!

If one can change the laws and make evil the law, then one can get people to do evil and think it is good because it is the law and, therefore, it is just and right. If one can change the laws and also cause people to believe it is moral, it is God’s will, then the masses will cooperate with the advancement of evil.

Once people have uncoupled their minds from objective reality, from God’s truth, His design laws built into reality, and His revealed truths as recorded in Scripture, they have no protection, no basis for differentiating good from evil, true from false, and will be vulnerable to engaging in evil while thinking they are doing good.

Our only safeguard is to know the truth for ourselves, to know Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, and to have minds and hearts that love what is true, objectively, factually, and historically true—true in Scripture, true in science and nature, and true in experience, how reality actually functions—the Integrative Evidence-Based Approach!

I encourage you to be a thinker, to never surrender your mind to anyone other than Jesus Christ, to practice the methods of our Creator God, to present the truth, in love, and leave others free to decide for themselves, and to love the truth, grow in the truth, and stand firm for the truth, for the truth will set you free (John 8:32).

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 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 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.

Anthony L., CA, USA

 

Testimony 20

I just wanted to personally thank you for your teachings and insight into scripture. I came across your website via my cousin who suggested I look into “Healing the Mind” information. My youngest daughter has been struggling over the last couple of years and it all came to a head this spring. When I started listening to the “Healing the Mind” lectures my own life began to be transformed. I began sharing with all my daughters the concepts you laid out so clearly. I ordered your book and soaked it up. I just want to say “Thank You!” My walk with the Lord has been refreshed and renewed. Your obedience to the Lord is a blessing to so many.

R. K., Anderson, SC, USA

 

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 10

I personally download and listen to each of Come And Reason Ministries Bible study class lessons and PDF study notes to use when teaching my class. Really appreciate the class especially when Dr. Jennings is teaching. Thank God there are persons like him doing His work and traveling to share His beliefs.

B. L.M., North Plains, OR, USA

 

Testimony 29

Thank you for all of your work to correct misconceptions about God’s character. So many people that my husband and I have talked to seem to be against the natural law construct and view it as “errant” and “dangerous.” Having learned more about it through your blogs and lessons, I don’t really understand why they view it that way, except that it means they have to relearn theology they have known for their entire lives. But I’m so excited to relearn this. For the past few years I have been questioning how I could trust a God who punishes arbitrarily and is full of wrath for those who don’t obey His commands. That view made me afraid to “mess up” or “not be good enough,” even within my relationship with God. I really appreciated the point you bring out about God not wanting us to serve Him because we are afraid, but because we love Him.

Melissa H., IN, USA

 

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.

Melissa L.

 

Testimony 32

The message [of Come And Reason Ministries is] for all Christians (and those who may become Christians) and not just Adventists or any other group. It is difficult to imagine why any [anyone] with intellectual and spiritual honesty could find fault with the way you explained the healing substitution concepts and the truth about God’s character, though I know some will reject and criticize. On behalf of those in our group near Tacoma, WA, thank you and your staff for all of the hard work and for sharing the Gospel in this manner. God’s message of healing love will be carried to the whole world and then Jesus will come – He promised it.

Terry U., Tacoma, WA, USA

 

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 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.

R. V. N., South Africa

 

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 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 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.
