Prawda o Bogu

Prawda o Bogu

Cały świat chrześcijański wyznaje, że Bóg jest naszym kochającym Ojcem, który umiłował nas tak bardzo, że posłał swego jedynego Syna, aby nas zbawił kosztem własnego życia. Chociaż jest to absolutnie prawdą, to czy my, chrześcijanie, harmonizujemy wszystkie nasze nauki z tą prawdą, czy też pozwoliliśmy, by błędne przekonania o Bogu wkradły się do naszych umysłów, serc, doktryn i kościołów?

Czy jest to możliwe, że trzymamy się błędnych wierzeń o Bogu, które oddalają nas od Niego, więc zamiast postrzegać Go jako naszego kochającego Ojca, widzimy Go jako kogoś, przed kim musimy szukać ochrony?

W Ew. Jana 17:3 czytamy wypowiedź Jezusa, że życie wieczne to ‘poznanie Boga’. Z drugiego listu do Koryntian 10:3‑5 dowiadujemy się, że duchowa walka w naszych umysłach jest toczona przy użyciu Bożej broni, niszczącej wszystko, co „przeciwstawia się poznaniu Boga”. Szatan atakuje prawdę o Bogu używając subtelnych wypaczeń, które uniemożliwiają nam poznanie Boga. Czy potrafisz je obalić? W pierwszym rozdziale listu do Rzymian Paweł mówi trzykrotnie, że kiedy odrzucamy ‘poznanie Boga’, wówczas „nikczemniejemy w swoich myślach”, nasze „bezrozumne serce staje się zaćmione”, a „umysł wypaczony”. Umysł nie może zostać uzdrowiony, dopóki trzymamy się kłamstw o Bogu.

Dzisiaj spostrzegłem jedno z nich – kłamstwo tak pospolite, że przyjmujemy je bez zastanawiania się, jakby było prawdą. Autor artykułu w chrześcijańskim czasopiśmie, które czytałem, mówił o pojednaniu, twierdząc otwarcie, że na krzyżu Bóg Ojciec zabił swego Syna, aby sprawiedliwości stało się zadość. Otóż nie kwestionuję rzeczy oczywistej, że śmierć Chrystusa była jak najbardziej istotna do dokonania planu zbawienia. Z całego serca zgadzam się, że ludzkość nie mogłaby zostać zbawiona bez samoofiarnej śmierci Chrystusa, dzięki której objawił On prawdę o Bożym charakterze miłości jak również dokonał o wiele więcej.

Kwestionuję natomiast – nie! przeciwstawiam się! koncepcji, że Bóg jest katem, że nasz kochający Ojciec, wspaniały Stwórca, źródło wszelkiego życia, jest określany jako niszczyciel życia, zadający śmierć, oprawca i morderca!

Niektórzy natychmiast zaprotestują i powiedzą: „Czyż Bóg nie zniszczył świata potopem? Czyż nie zniszczył ogniem Sodomy i Gomory? Czy nie zabił pierworodnych Egiptu, 185,000 Asyryjczyków i wielu innych?” Moja odpowiedź jest następująca: Bóg wiele razy użył swojej mocy, aby położyć do grobu swoje dzieci, ale każde z nich zmartwychwstanie – albo podczas zmartwychwstania do życia, albo w zmartwychwstaniu potępienia (Ew. Jana 5:29). Bóg nie położył kresu ich życiu; Bóg jedynie zawiesił ich życie do chwili zmartwychwstania, kiedy znowu ożyją i każde z nich otrzyma swoje wieczne przeznaczenie – albo „zapłatę grzechu którą jest śmierć” albo dar Boży, którym jest „żywot wieczny w Chrystusie Jezusie Panu naszym” (Rzymian 6:23 Dąbr.Wul.1973).

Chrystus przyszedł na ziemię, by doświadczyć śmierci, która jest „zapłatą grzechu”, ale żadna inna istota ludzka w historii Świata nie doświadczyła jeszcze tej śmierci. Zatem żaden przykład z Biblii nie wyjaśnia roli Boga w odniesieniu do krzyża. Musimy zbadać podane dowody odnośnie tego, co wydarzyło się na krzyżu i  przeanalizować je w rozsądny sposób. Co więc ujawniają dowody dotyczące postępowania Ojca przy ukrzyżowaniu Jezusa i kto jest faktycznie odpowiedzialny za śmierć Chrystusa?

Jezus zawołał: „Boże mój, Boże mój, czemu mnie opuściłeś?” (Ew. Mateusza 27:46), a nie „Boże mój, Boże mój, dlaczego mnie zabijasz?” Świadectwo autorów ewangelii stwierdza, że to złoczyńcy bili Go, znęcali się nad Nim i ukrzyżowali Go – a nie Bóg! (Ew. Mateusza 26:47–27:56; Ew. Marka 14:43 – 15:41; Ew. Łukasza 22:47 – 23:49; Ew. Jana 18:1 – 19:37). W rzeczywistości nie mamy najmniejszego dowodu na to, że Bóg dotknął Swojego Syna na krzyżu. Bóg raczej potraktował Go jak nieuleczalnego, niedosięgalnego, nie dającego się zbawić grzesznika i wycofał Swoją chroniącą i podtrzymującą dłoń, a szatańskie moce zjednoczyły się ze złymi ludźmi, by zamordować niewinnego Syna Bożego (2 Koryntian 5:21). Chociaż Bóg miał moc powstrzymania ludzkich sił przed zabiciem swego Syna, to nie mógł tego dokonać i jednocześnie uratować świat. Dlatego ukrzyżowanie mogło nastąpić jedynie wtedy, gdy Chrystus dobrowolnie złożył swoje życie i dopuścił do swojej śmierci. Chrystus powiedział: „Nikt nie może odebrać mi życia, oddaję swoje życie, aby je znowu wziąć.” (Ew. Jana 10:17,18). Chrystus nie został zabity przez swojego Ojca – Chrystus został zabity przez nas, przez naszą ludzką niegodziwość, nasz egoizm, naszą grzeszność.

Jakie świadectwo wydaje to o Bogu, gdy widzimy Chrystusa dobrowolnie poddającego się i pozwalającego swoim stworzeniom na znęcanie się nad sobą aż do śmierci? Czy nie świadczy to o tym, że Bóg nigdy nie skrzywdził swojego Syna? Istotnie, Syn Boży cierpiał i zmarł na krzyżu dla zbawienia rasy ludzkiej i w celu usunięcie grzechu z Bożego wszechświata, ale NIE z ręki Ojca. Dowody biblijne uniewinniają Boga, który nigdy nie był i nie jest źródłem śmierci. Bóg jest źródłem życia! Nie jest On katem, ale sprawiedliwym Wybawicielem!

Odrzuć kłamstwa o Bogu, przyjmij prawdę objawioną przez Jezusa, pojednaj i zjednocz się z Bogiem, i nawiąż z Nim przyjazne stosunki!

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!

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 19

I truly believe that to know who God really is the first step to understand ourselves in a balanced and kind way, so the healing can take place. Your approach really makes sense – Thank you for your ministry!

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

Testimony 59

I’m a native Ghanan, but am currently in France for my master’s degree. Prior to this, during my final years at undergraduate studies in Ghana, I was introduced to your ministry and I’ve been immensely blessed by what you share, especially about the Design and Imposed Laws. God richly bless you for that.

One of the first things I did when I arrived in France was to buy all four of your books. They not only helped me, but those I shared them with. I shared the message with an atheist student and I marveled at how God worked mightily in his life. Today this person shares the Love of God with others and debunks theories of who God is not. I want to share what you present in your “Heavenly Sanctuary and Investigative Judgment” pamphlet, because the message brought rest to my soul and I live today as a healthy person.

God bless you so much and your ministry.

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 33

I was invited over a friend’s house to see the “God and Your Brain” seminar today. I became [a christian] 36 years ago at the age of 19, but have struggled with the concept of God taking His ‘pound of flesh’ out on His Son to be appeased. Wow. Your seminar has been an incredible revelation and breath of reason and fresh air! I have your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” and it is SO eye opening. Finally, after 36 years enlightenment has come! Praise the Good Lord! What can I say, but that the Real Gospel is truly “Good News!” Thank you for your efforts in giving the Gospel a clear sound!

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!

Testimony 71

When I was 9 years old, I remember setting at our devotional table with a hunger and thirst for God that wanted more, deeper, BETTER. I can remember literally crying and pounding on the table, “I know these teachers didn’t mean to give us error. They taught what THEY had been TAUGHT, but didn’t ANYBODY READ THE BOOK?!?!?” It mattered to me then. It mattered to me as a teenager. It matters now as I teach bible classes. It didn’t have to be so hard as I watched so many give up and lay God’s great plan and gift of salvation aside as being “impossible.” Then, a friend sent me a link to Come And Reason’s website. I grew excited. YES! FINALLY! Then another friend told me to stay away, saying her son had just broken up with a girl because she was involved with Come And Reason and that “Tim Jennings preaches a false gospel.” But, AFTER many years of developing an authentic and, dare I say FUN relationship with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit I see this message has been around a LONG time, since the apostle Paul, Ellen White, Graham Maxwell, Ray Foucher, and yourself (though I admit, you’ve made me back up, rewind and replay the clips, and get out my well-worn Bible on a few things.) I’m so thankful I have found LIGHT during these DARK days. I am not alone.

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!

Testimony 36

Thank you and may God continue to bless you as you share with others the intricacies of how we are all “fearfully and wonderfully made”. I must share that you have opened a whole new world to me, and I have found tremendous healing through what you have shared in two of your books, “Could It Be This Simple?” and “The God Shaped Brain.” I praise God for what you shared, what I have learned, and how I have grown and healed! My prayer is that My Precious Jesus will be seen by others in the way I live, act, talk, etc. and they may be encouraged to know He is truly a GREAT God of LOVE, desiring that no one should perish! God Bless you in your continued endeavors to present Him as He really is!
