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 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!

Ashleighn C.

 

Testimony 70

I have been watching you for many years and have learned to love God with all my heart. I was raised by a loving Christian mother that had been lied to about who God really was, so our religious upbringing was hell fire and damnation. As soon as I was old enough and moved out, I not only left the church, I ran as fast as I could to get away from it. Sad to say, it wasn’t until the past couple of years that I learned and understand who my Father really is and how much He loves me. I understand God’s Design Laws (which make sense) and when I’m teaching my church Bible study class, I’m able to really put to use the things I’ve been learning and Holy Spirit is leading. Thank you for introducing me to my Father of true, pure love. Everyday with Him is new and exciting. One thing that breaks my heart is that I didn’t know Him sooner. God Bless you and your ministry!

Judy Phelps, Reno, NV, USA

Testimony 42

I am just writing to say that I have been so blessed by the teachings of Come And Reason Minitries recently. I watched last week’s bible study lesson on Youtube and am thankful that the error in the printed lesson guide you use was pointed out and this week’s study was of equal benefit, if not more so. My understanding of God’s nature has been very confused of late and I am so grateful for clarity in this matter. I have never really fully understood previously how a good God can cause bad things to happen and now I realise that He doesn’t, it’s a natural consequence of sin. May the almighty Father and His Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, continue to bless your ministry.

Laura P., United Kingdom

 

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 24

I wanted to thank you very much for presenting your understanding of God. I’ve always been troubled by this question: Why did Jesus have to die? Since my conversion I understood that The Father & Jesus are one, I did not have issues with that. But was there not any other way to save us than for Jesus to die? I guess I actually had a question about God – if He is so wise, how come He did not find another way? I did not see the real ‘beauty’  in the cross. Only when you explained the picture in the medical context, Jesus providing medicine for my selfishness, have I started to finally ‘see the light’. Thank you so much. Your seminar, “Healing the Mind,” are absolutely marvelous & have shared them with my family and many other people, including colleagues at work. Thanks, thanks, thanks. May God bless you abundantly in your ministry.

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 28

I have been following your Bible study class for about a year now. I must say I am impressed with how your ministry has grown. I took it upon myself to listen to all your lesson podcasts from the past and they have both enriched me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I have learnt a lot from this class. I have also noticed how the class has grown in spiritual strength. One of the things that benefited me is that now I am not afraid of God. I use to be, but now it has melted away. The second thing is that you helped me to have a real life relationship with God. Now He is my friend that was always there and I love having him with me all the time. Thirdly, because of this class, it inspired me to take over and lead a class. I have called it “Let Us Reason Together,” adapting your inquisitive style and creating a class of free thinkers.

Testimony 54

I had a lot of pressure, as a pastor’s kid, to conform and be “good.” I was good at being “good.” I thought my life was going along well until it all started falling apart and I could not figure out why! In my search for “why is this happening to me, God?” I came across your book, “Could it be this Simple,” and God started revealing to me the many distortions I held about His character, His principles, and how He has designed His universe to operate. I remember thinking, “Wow, I have had this all backwards.” I was happy and angry all at the same time. Happy to have the light of truth break through the darkness, revealing a wonderful, beautiful way of understanding God and His plan for His children, and angry, because I felt deceived and cheated by the church, my family, and myself!

My heart thrills when I listen to your bible study lessons. Literally I have gone from death to life. It is a journey I look forward to every day, as God reveals areas this distortion affects. Praise GOD! I will ever be grateful to God for this ministry and your cooperation with the Spirit!

Karen S., Portal, AZ, 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 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.

B. F., Silicon Valley, CA, USA

 

Testimony 45

I have been confused for years about what [christianity] calls [its] most disgusting teaching. It has never made much sense to me and for that reason has been evermore empty. I have listened to your class off and on and have struggled determining what is truth, because of the resistance design law encounters in the church. So, I thank God for your ministry. What you teach makes sense. It’s logical and backed up by the power of love. I have never seen that in Christ until now. I am astounded by the insight that is found when we look at God’s ministry through design law. All strength to this message, as I believe it to be the power of God.

Brendon S.

 

Testimony 16

Your seminars are still inspiring and changing our lives and we continue to share the principles we have learned from you. Your ministry has changed our lives!

E.W.

 

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!

Jackie S.

 

Testimony 48

I just want to tell you how blessed I have been reading “The Remedy!” It has become a daily part of my devotional relationship with God. In it I have found a God of love and a God that loves me! The bible has come alive for me! It is the first time that I can say that I have felt hope fill my heart as I have read God’s word. This is good news I can share! Thank you, Dr Jennings! Thank you for your heart for others. I can’t put into words how this has set me free! It has strengthened my trust and love for God.

Jason H.

 

Testimony 2

I continue to enjoy your lessons every week. The more that I research your conclusions, the more I am convinced that the Holy Spirit has lead you to distill out the essence of human redemption. Thank you for your courageous stand for the truth.
