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 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 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 23

I would just like to add my voice to the many people who, I believe, must have contacted you to express their appreciation for the “Healing the Mind” DVDs. I’ve been listening to your Bible study class discussions for many years and I’ve been personally blessed by your research and teaching about the character of God.

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 21

I am absolutly on fire with the message at Come and Reason! I can’t get enough! I’ve read your book, blog, and articles. I’ve listened to your Bible study podcasts, your radio show, and your series – all excellent! It wasn’t until the past couple of years that I have I like I’m becoming “healthy,” with more to share with others than just beasts and commandments! I used to be a Bible worker and preached when the pastors were gone until I had had enough. I didnt realize at the time what the problem was, but i know now… the message wasn’t properly focused. Now my flame is rekindled. All of your little examples are so perfect in explaining something “complicated” and making it easily understood! Now I’m trying to shape it into a life changing evangelistic series! Thank you!

M.T., 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.

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.
Elisha M., Tanzania, Africa

Testimony 50

After coming into contact with Come And Reason Ministries, I can finally say that many of my unanswered questions have fallen into place. I discovered that my view of God’s Law was “imposed laws and rules” with “imposed punishments” and that this was the major culprit of my many unanswered questions. Thanks be to God for using you and those around you to help us who have struggled with this “infection” of thought. I have now rejected the “imposed law” concept to fully embrace “Design Law”… to look thru “Design Law,” instead of “imposed law,” is a relief.

Viliami L., Australia

 

Testimony 67

I was introduced to Come And Reason by a friend of my mother-in-law, who gave me several CD’s of Dr. Jennings. The clarity of the message and recognition that God’s is a God of love was so clear, advancing beyond Dr. Maxwell’s message. However, grappled with Maxwell saying God used emergency measures for the fallen world. Now after several years of being a regular listener of the Come And Reasoning bible study class and attending Jennings’ meetings in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, things are becoming clearer for me. Design law versus imposed law has added so much to my personal understanding of theology. This message has really impacted my work in counseling so many people miserable because they are searching for and trusting human governments to create order and peace or believing in a God who says love Me or I will kill you. I am grateful that I have an alternative view to offer my clients that makes sense. I teach a bible study class on a semi-regular basis and I value the materials that Come And Reason so freely offers to aid me in presenting this vital message. Thank you for continuing to provide advancement in our very limited understanding of a Infinite God that is rational and believable.

Dr. Roger D, Arlington, TX, USA

 

Testimony 12

I have been really blessed reading your response to the various questions on your site.

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 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.

Elssy P., Modesto, CA, 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 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
