Virus: ¿qué son y de dónde vienen?

Virus: ¿qué son y de dónde vienen?

Dada la actual pandemia de COVID-19, pensé que podría ser útil tener un blog sobre virus, ¿qué son y de dónde provienen?

Los virus son información codificada que infecta otros sistemas y coopta (acepta) la función original para replicarse.

En los organismos vivos, los virus están hechos de ADN o ARN codificado que secuestran la maquinaria de las células vivas para construir más de sí mismos, generalmente hasta que las células u organismos mueren o los mecanismos de defensa del organismo los eliminan. Los virus a veces se llaman “replicadores” porque toman los recursos de la célula viva y replican más del virus hasta que la célula muere, explota y luego infecta a otras células para hacer lo mismo. Si la respuesta inmune del cuerpo no detiene este proceso, se produce la muerte del huésped, junto con el virus.

En las computadoras, los virus están hechos de información codificada escrita en el idioma del programa que está destinado a infectar. Estos virus se harán cargo de varias operaciones del programa original y redirigirán la función de la computadora para replicar más código de virus para infectar más sistemas o llevar a cabo nuevas directivas contrarias a la programación original.

Una pregunta frecuente sobre los virus es: ¿están vivos los virus que infectan a los organismos vivos? En otras palabras, ¿son los virus mismos organismos vivos? En el mundo científico, esto a menudo se debate sin una conclusión final, y los virus a menudo se describen como “estar al borde de la vida”. Esto se debe a que la cosmovisión evolutiva no tiene explicaciones funcionales sobre los orígenes de los virus y, por lo tanto, no puede decidir si están realmente vivos.

Pero, en la cosmovisión bíblica, Dios creó la vida en la tierra sin enfermedad, defecto o muerte. La vida requiere tres elementos para existir: materia física, energía e información codificada que se encuentra en el material genético de todos los organismos vivos. Dios no solo habría creado la materia física, como los átomos que construyó juntos en proteínas, lípidos, carbohidratos, ADN y ARN; No solo habría proporcionado la energía vivificante (aliento de vida); pero Dios también habría escrito el código, organizando las letras de ADN y ARN en la compleja información codificada que está contenida en nuestros cromosomas y que es necesaria para la vida.

La vida que Dios creó en el Edén fue impecable, sin pecado y sin ningún “código malo” o defectos de ningún tipo. Cuando los codificadores de Microsoft y Apple escriben el código necesario para que sus computadoras funcionen, se escribe sin virus. Así también, Dios escribió el código que gobierna las operaciones de nuestros cuerpos físicos en nuestros genes, y ese código fue escrito sin defectos y sin virus.

Cuando Microsoft y Apple lanzan sus sistemas operativos, los virus no se generan espontáneamente a partir de esos sistemas. Del mismo modo, cuando Dios creó la vida en la tierra, estaba libre de virus y los virus no se generaron espontáneamente a partir de su creación.

Pero las personas maliciosas pueden examinar los sistemas operativos de la computadora y luego optar por hackearlos, escribiendo a propósito un nuevo código diseñado para infectar y alterar la función original del software. Satanás no tiene el poder de crear vida, pero siendo malévolo e inteligente, es capaz de corromper la creación de Dios y, por lo tanto, después de que Adán pecó, Satanás infectó la creación con virus físicos, código diseñado para corromper la salud física de todos los vivos. organismos en la tierra.

Jesus dijo,

El reino de los cielos es como un hombre que sembró buena semilla en su campo. Pero mientras todos dormían, su enemigo vino y sembró malas hierbas entre el trigo, y se fue. Cuando el trigo brotó y formó cabezas, también aparecieron las malas hierbas. Los sirvientes del dueño se le acercaron y le dijeron: “Señor, ¿no sembró buena semilla en su campo? ¿De dónde vinieron entonces las malezas? “Un enemigo hizo esto”, respondió (Mateo 13: 24–28 NIV84).

El apóstol Pablo dijo:

Porque la creación fue sometida a la frustración, no por su propia elección, sino por la voluntad de quien la sometió, con la esperanza de que la creación misma sea liberada de su esclavitud al deterioro y traída a la gloriosa libertad de los hijos de Dios. . Sabemos que toda la creación ha estado gimiendo como en los dolores del parto hasta la actualidad (Romanos 8: 20–23 NIV84).

La Biblia enseña que después de que Adán pecó, Satanás tuvo acceso a este mundo. Ahora podía “piratear” el código genético, tomar fragmentos de ADN y ARN, y manipularlo para construir virus destinados a dañar y corromper la creación de Dios, causando enfermedades, defectos y muerte. Un comentario bíblico lo explica de esta manera:

No se colocó ninguna planta nociva en el gran jardín del Señor, pero después de que Adán y Eva pecaron, surgieron hierbas venenosas. En la parábola del sembrador, se le hizo la pregunta al Maestro: “¿No sembraste buena semilla en tu campo? ¿Cómo, pues, tiene cizaña? El Maestro respondió: “Un enemigo ha hecho esto”. Todas las cizañas son sembradas por el maligno. Cada hierba nociva es de su siembra, y por sus ingeniosos métodos de amalgamación ha corrompido la tierra con cizaña (Manuscrito 65, 1899 [publicado en F. D. Nichol, Elena G. de White y sus críticos], Comentario Bíblico Adventista del Séptimo Día Vol. 1, p. 1086.2).

Los virus no eran parte de la creación original de Dios; Es por eso que nuestro sistema inmunológico lucha para eliminarlos. Nuestros sistemas inmunes funcionan como un software antivirus de computadora, monitoreando constantemente cualquier infección y buscando eliminar cualquier virus cuando se identifica para restaurar nuestra salud, a nuestras operaciones originales.

Los virus también son una metáfora adecuada para el pecado mismo. El pecado es una infección de la mente, un virus del pensamiento, un mal código que se hace cargo del diseño original de nuestras mentes y coopta (acepta) el sistema desde el amor y la confianza hasta el miedo y el egoísmo, que se autopropaga. Si no se detiene, el pecado es fatal en el 100% de los casos.

Dios envió a su Hijo para arreglar esta condición enferma de pecado. Jesús, como humano, fue tentado en todos los sentidos tal como somos, pero fue sin pecado (Hebreos 2:14). Cada uno de nosotros “es tentado cuando, por su propio malvado deseo, es arrastrado y atraído” (Santiago 1:14 NIV84). Pero en la humanidad de Jesús, el diseño original de Dios para la vida, la verdad, el amor y la libertad venció la infección viral de las mentiras, el miedo y el egoísmo. La programación original de Dios fue llevada a cabo por las elecciones de Jesús, quien purgó el virus del pecado de la humanidad que asumió. Así, Jesús destruyó la muerte y sacó a la luz la vida y la inmortalidad (2 Timoteo 1:10).

Cuando confiamos en Jesús y abrimos nuestros corazones a Él, el Espíritu Santo entra en nuestros corazones y escribe la ley de Dios (Su sistema operativo original) en nuestros corazones y mentes:

  • Este es el pacto que haré con la casa de Israel.
  • después de ese tiempo, declara el Señor.
  • Pondré mis leyes en sus mentes
  • y escríbelos en sus corazones (Hebreos 8:10 NIV84).

El código original de Dios para la vida, para el funcionamiento de nuestros corazones y mentes, su ley de diseño del amor, se restaura en nosotros a medida que nos convertimos en participantes de la naturaleza divina (2 Pedro 1: 4). Nuestros personajes se transforman y somos restaurados de corazón y mente para ser uno con Dios. Entonces, para todos los que han experimentado esta restauración del carácter piadoso de Cristo, recibiremos una transformación física cuando regrese. En la segunda venida de Cristo, todo el daño al código de ADN y ARN será eliminado y nosotros, los mortales, vestiremos de inmortalidad, ¡esta corrupción provocará incorrupciones! (1 Corintios 15:42).

Entonces, mientras el mundo lucha con la pandemia de COVID-19, no se desanime; podemos estar seguros de que, gracias a Jesús, Dios sanará y restaurará de cada defecto y enfermedad a todos los que confían en Él.

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.

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!

Dean P., Arlington, TX, USA

 

Testimony 37

Hearing Dr. Jennings’ presentations in person came at a pivotal moment in my spiritual journey that began about nine months ago, when the fault lines inherent in my belief system began to crack under questions that most reasonable people end up asking about God and His nature. These were questions I couldn’t find answers to, and they shook my faith. I was unable let it go any longer and be satisfied. My Christian experience became distant. I was afraid; the fear in me rose like thorns, pushing me away from Jesus. And then someone heard my questions and introduced me to this ministry, and my life has totally changed.

I can tell you that this new, “present truth” message is far grander and life-changing than when I shifted from being an agnostic and then a nominal Christian. It has radically altered my worldview, because it reveals a God that makes sense. It is a revolution. I believe that Dr. Jennings’ message is the final message that must go to the world. If any message could be called “righteousness by faith,” as abused as that term is by the right and the left, this is that message, because Jennings’ biblical message identifies a God who is different, whose character isn’t an impossible contradiction.

I walk this path now without fear. I see people differently, and the Holy Spirit burns in my heart. Many call Dr. Jennings’ message false and compromising, but it isn’t false, because I’ve seen the fruits within my mind and body. It is not compromising, because in this message is the only road to holiness that makes any sense. No longer do I behold a pagan god who is always angry and suspicious. Instead, I behold a God who is freeing and loving, always working for our good, and giving me every reason to love my enemy even to my own death, just as Jesus pleads with us. God is good.

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 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.

Testimony 40

I was brought up in a different faith and have been petrified my whole life of God. I believed that I would burn in hell for eternity. When I was 12 I started pursuing the things of this world, but for the next 45 years the Spirit was always calling me, as I knew there was a God through nature. I could see the vast sea of stars in the universe and knew there was something bigger out there. Five years ago, through a Revelation seminar, I was blessed to learn about God’s character and government.

Then I found Come and Reason Ministries and have come under some extreme pressure when I speak about the ministry. One time a member sent me an internet article titled “Whats wrong with Tim Jennings?” I asked her what she thought of it and she said “I don’t know, I didn’t read it.”

I have always wanted to find out for myself the truth about God, so I stayed with the Design Law construct and have been liberated to understand the big picture. Once we consider Design Law, all other Bible stories and prophecies seem to fit perfectly. It is truly beautiful to see people grasping how God operates this Universe of Love and the liberation it has provided in their lives. It blows my mind to see how consistent Design law is with what our founders believed. I hear statements like “This makes so much sense.”

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 5

We listen to your bible studies lessons in our class in Montana. You actually were the main reason I decided to get a laptop, so I can go to your site and listen, read, learn, and print the class notes. I am so grateful to learn the correct view of God and his character. Now, to just have others have an interest in knowing, so I can share it with them. Good thoughts your way.

R. N., MT, USA

 

Testimony 17

The blessings of clarity and understanding you and your class inspire me to take from the word of God have impressed upon me so greatly the true, loving character of our Creator. I have found amazing freedom and joy through building a stronger, more intentional relationship with Him. What is new is that this is now a relationship built on love, reverence and respect rather than fear and obligation, and as such my eyes have been slammed OPEN as I am continually impressed by the manifestations of God’s true character in His provisions for fallen man.

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 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 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.

M. W., Australia

 

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 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!

M.T., 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.
