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 73

I have been truly blessed by your blogs and other resources. They have helped me to see things in a much brighter light and to reason things out better. Thank you so much for your ministry. Whenever I have the opportunity I pass along your material to my friends.

R. Noseworthy, Newfoundland, Canada

Testimony 46

Over the past couple of years God has been expanding my view of Himself and His character. Along my approximately 40-year journey, I have often had questions, but was hesitant to voice these and step outside the traditionally accepted thinking, for fear of admitting that I may in fact be eternally lost. In the recesses of my thinking has been the thought – if one blindly accepts (which is widely regarded as “real faith”) and does not question, is this really ‘truth?’ I often find it challenging to grapple with very theological ‘speak,’ but Dr. Jennings has a real gift of explaining spiritual concepts with clear practical examples. The weekly discussions are growing my Christian experience and slowly changing my view of how to live as a child of God in today’s complex world. Finally the whole Old Testament sanctuary teaching moved in my mind from fantasy to reality!

Beverly S., South Africa

 

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 6

I got the book “Could It Be This Simple?” a few months ago and the reading was wonderful and I was fascinated. I lent the book to a friend at work. She is having a difficult time and the book is helping her to find Jesus and I found this very exciting. She has asked me questions and I can see her life changing.

H. S., Australia

 

Testimony 35

I am so pleased with the response your message is receiving at my church from the middle-aged to the young adults. I have given out 100 copies of the first two seminars and there are more request every week. One of my [class members] came to me after viewing the series, grateful and impressed with how easy the message was retained. He had been a Seventh-day Adventist in fear all his life, and felt like the scales were removed from his eyes after viewing the seminars. I am so impressed by the change I see in members who have received this message, we are in one accord. However, I am sadden by the negative response of the older people. I am verbally attacked anytime I talk about imposed laws, but I believe my mission is to enlightened everyone I can. I watch your Bible Study Class on YouTube every Friday night and I feel like I am apart of the class. All of you are in one accord and I am so blessed to have found you. I pray that all of you continue to spread this message and I am committed to doing my part.

Clara S., Westfield, MA, 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 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!

Antony N. – Hobart, Australia

 

Testimony 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Emmanuel V., Calgary, AB Canada

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.

A.A. Corrales, NM, 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 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).

Dalio M.

Testimony 64

I’ve been reading the bible and walking with Jesus since I was around 16. I’m 42 now. I’ve mostly been alone in my walk although I went to several churches in different denominations. For the past 3 years God has been showing me His character of agape. It’s been a blessing and changed how I view God and my walk with Jesus. About a year ago I came across the power of love and the principles of design law. These teachings changed how I read scripture and have been such a beautiful blessing. I’m very excited and grateful for these truths. We share these truths of agape, design law and the reality of the principles of the two trees in the garden of Eden with people on Facebook and YouTube. People all over are learning to trust God and His agape design law which makes life possible. Thank you for everything you shared with me. May God continue to bless your ministry and lives.

Bradley M., Hinsdale, NY, 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.
