The Corrupting of Minds

The Corrupting of Minds

What we are seeing in the world today is an exponential increase in the assault upon our minds, an attack on individuality, the undermining of rational thinking, a purposeful corrupting of minds. So, how are minds corrupted? They are corrupted in a similar way in which a computer’s software gets corrupted: by inputting bad “code”—in other words, by unreliable, false, misleading, destructive, and erroneous ideas, information, and beliefs.

This can occur through direct misinformation—lies, being taught something erroneous and false—or it can occur through harmful, destructive, sinful experiences that instill corrupt ideas into the mind, from trauma, abuse, and exploitation.

The younger a person, the less developed their brain and, therefore, the less capable they are of differentiating fact from fiction. Children necessarily, and in a developmentally healthy way, look to others—parents, grandparents, teachers, pastors—to tell them what is what. Young children don’t know that the sky is the color blue and the grass green until someone tells them. Young children don’t know their right from left or how to read, write, or do math until someone teaches them. And children don’t understand reality, how things work and why, and need a mature, wise adult to oversee their development and choices. For instance, children don’t perceive the danger of playing in the street and need parents to set boundaries to keep them from doing so. Likewise, children don’t understand the importance of proper nutrition and, therefore, need parents to set limits on sweets and to provide healthy food for them.

Children are also not capable of recognizing that when they are mistreated, exploited, or abused, it isn’t because of some defect or fault in them. Child exploitation, neglect, and abuse are often internalized by the child with the child believing they are not good enough, smart enough, loveable enough, or because they are bad in some way. This type of falsehood is corrosive and destructive and leads the growing child to make choices based on this false, internalized belief about themselves, such as not trying in school because they believe (from how they were treated) they are stupid; being promiscuous because they believe (from previous abuse) that they are “dirty” or “soiled” or “defiled” and no one else would have them; or they feel so unlovable they will do anything for momentary expressions of affection—even if those expressions are exploitive.

This is why Jesus warned against harming little children, because harming children introduces falsehoods deep into their hearts (feelings about self and others) and minds (beliefs about self and others) before a child is capable of recognizing and rejecting those falsehoods. Such internal wounds are healable, but it takes focused and purposeful work.

 

Reprogramming

But children are also vulnerable to mind manipulation even without overt abuse, such as through education, indoctrination, propaganda, and corrupt philosophies. And that is what has happened to the Western world since the school systems began teaching godless evolution.

The principles of godly morality—truth, love, and liberty—have been replaced with lies, such as there is no God and humans are not made in the image of God; that humans have no higher purpose than what we can get for self right now; that there is no ultimate truth, so one’s feelings are their truth.

Another way to infect minds with falsehoods is to redefine words to have different meanings than what is commonly understood so that people incorporate into their thinking false ideas without fully appreciating or realizing what is happening.

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).

Woe to those who call biological men women and biological women men; woe to those who call rioting “peaceful protests” and peaceful protesting an “insurrection”; woe to those who call an experimental therapeutic that does not provide immunity or prevent infection a “vaccine” and who call natural immunity “ineffective.”

God is the Creator, the Builder of reality, and He wants His people to understand reality, not to live in fantasy. But Satan and his followers cannot tolerate truth and objective reality, so they constantly seek to replace truth, facts, and objective reality with something “re-imagined” something make-believe, with fantasy.

But think for yourself; there is no such thing as:

  • Dry water
  • Warm ice
  • Cold fire
  • Bright darkness
  • Honest thieves
  • Faithful adulterers
  • Good sin
  • Happiness in evil
  • Healthy sickness
  • Empowering weakness
  • Enlightening deception
  • Transgendered men or transgendered women

God said, “And now we will make human beings; they will be like us and resemble us. … So God created human beings, making them to be like himself. He created them male and female” (Genesis 1:26, 27 GNT).

Jesus said, “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them [humans] male and female.’” (Mark 10:6 NIV 84).

In objective reality, by God’s design, there are males and females! But sadly, because of sin damaging God’s design, there are people who are confused about their gender, for a variety of reasons—some because of biological conditions, such as androgen insensitivity syndrome, chimerism, hermaphrodism, etc., and others because of trauma or psychological problems. But the fact that there exists people with real conditions that diverge from God’s design does not mean that a man can become a woman or vice versa.

We will never advance God’s cause or experience health, wellness, improved relationships, peace with God, ourselves, and others by accepting lies into our minds, by promoting falsehood, or by advancing worldly narratives, because that only further corrupts more minds.

The only healthy option is the path of truth, presented in love, while leaving others free. I encourage you to be a lover of truth, to develop hearts and minds that are eager to advance and grow in the truth as the Holy Spirit enlightens your mind to it. For if you want freedom, it is only the truth that will set you free.

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.

Testimony 3

My husband is a pastor and I listen to your lesson almost every week. Thank you for helping me in my study life and to help me love the “real” God more.

C. F., NC, 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 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 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.

Testimony 43

Two years ago I stumbled upon your book, “Could It Be This Simple,” and then found “The God-Shaped Brain” videos on YouTube, your bible study class, and the ‘Come And Reason’ mobile app. I shared your book with a friend and after nine months of showing love, patience, and kindness this person has been changed by the love of God, too. The same love that healed me, I now express to other women in tangible ways, such as to a Baptist woman with high anxiety and childhood trauma. She was extremely happy and relieved when I shared about the so-called “judgment of God” and burning in hell. She had no desire to serve a God that was so harsh. I have repeated the phrase dozens of times to her. “What we believe has power over us, but we have power over what we believe…”

This message that you are sharing has changed my life. I will continue to serve other women and bring this message of God’s healing love to their lives by sharing your books, YouTube videos, and The Remedy Bible app. Keep up the good work. Don’t be discouraged. God is doing a mighty work in and through this ministry!

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 68

Your message of design law vs imperial law is so uplifting and makes so much sense- it is a game changer for me. The fact that Jesus’s death is not a big payment by an angry God is , quite frankly, a relief.

Laura G., London, Ontario, Canada

 

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 30

God lead me to your book “The God-Shaped Brain” while I was searching for another book about the brain and then to your interview about your book on HeartWise Ministries [where] I found out about [Come And Reason Ministries]. I’m now devouring the webcasts of your Bible studies. I have been so greatly blessed and I thank God so much for your courage to speak the Truth in love no matter what. Listening to you contrast the two opposing systems (laws) and digging deep to unearth the hidden treasures in the Bible makes me so incredibly happy and I feel very blessed to be part of your Bible Study Group although I live far away. I am just so excited that there is a group of people that is spreading the Truth about the character of God and it saddens me how few realize what our Father in Heaven is really like.

Kessy B., Australia

 

Testimony 26

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 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 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 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 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.
