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 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 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 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.

T. C., IN, 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 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 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 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 12

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

K.C., OH, USA

 

Testimony 34

I was introduced to Come and Reason Ministries by accident, via a passing comment made in a bible study class we were visiting. I checked this website out and my life was changed. The understanding of the truth of God’s character, and how we apply it, is so right. The tricky part is consistently applying which “lens” to look through. As I began to understand, I started sharing the basics of this understanding with a discussion group I was leading and, suddenly, a lot of things started to make sense that never used to. At the same time, I enjoyed an amazing opportunity. I was able to conduct a full bible study at WORK! What an amazing experience! It is such a joy to share the truth about God and to share how it all fits in the war between God and Satan. So many people benefit when we have a correct understanding about how God works and who He really is! Thank you for this transformational understanding. Keep up the good work! God Bless you!

Tony P., CA, 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 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 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 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 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.

T. Banda, Malawi, Africa

 

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.
