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 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 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!

Testimony 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

Testimony 61

I grew up in a prominent protestant church and had what I like to call religious anxiety. I’ve always had questions about God and Salvation that no one could seem to answer.  I didn’t know how to find resolution. During 2020, at the height of my anxiety, I fell to my knees and begged God to show me truth and light and to give me the hope that I’ve been longing for. Days later, I stumbled upon your online videos and it was like a veil was lifted and EVERYTHING made sense! For the first time in my almost 39 years of life, my religious/spiritual anxiety has lessened. I feel a sense of freedom and peace I’ve NEVER had before… and it’s all because my view of God has changed. Thank you!

Testimony 66

I am incredibly grateful for the transformative impact you’ve had on my life, and words cannot fully express my appreciation. Over the years, I have been an avid listener and follower of C&R and extend my heartfelt thanks for creating the C&R mobile app. It has allowed me to immerse myself in your lessons repeatedly, enabling me to grasp the profound significance about the Character of God, Design Law, the protocols for life, the reasons behind the current chaos, and Christ’s mission to restore everything. They have deeply touched me. Having studied with various churches, I came away with the perception that God is no different from the deities of ancient Greek or Roman mythology—demanding sacrifices and taking pleasure in bloodshed. Thanks to your transformative teachings, I have experienced a profound awakening to the true nature of God and the immense power of His love. It is truly a remarkable and liberating sensation to finally grasp the truth and embrace the empowering nature of God’s laws. My self-perception has become brighter and more infused with love. My journey of growth continues on a daily basis.

Testimony 70

I have been watching you for many years and have learned to love God with all my heart. I was raised by a loving Christian mother that had been lied to about who God really was, so our religious upbringing was hell fire and damnation. As soon as I was old enough and moved out, I not only left the church, I ran as fast as I could to get away from it. Sad to say, it wasn’t until the past couple of years that I learned and understand who my Father really is and how much He loves me. I understand God’s Design Laws (which make sense) and when I’m teaching my church Bible study class, I’m able to really put to use the things I’ve been learning and Holy Spirit is leading. Thank you for introducing me to my Father of true, pure love. Everyday with Him is new and exciting. One thing that breaks my heart is that I didn’t know Him sooner. God Bless you and your ministry!

Judy Phelps, Reno, NV, USA

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.

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 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.

Michael A., Ghana

 

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.

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 42

I am just writing to say that I have been so blessed by the teachings of Come And Reason Minitries recently. I watched last week’s bible study lesson on Youtube and am thankful that the error in the printed lesson guide you use was pointed out and this week’s study was of equal benefit, if not more so. My understanding of God’s nature has been very confused of late and I am so grateful for clarity in this matter. I have never really fully understood previously how a good God can cause bad things to happen and now I realise that He doesn’t, it’s a natural consequence of sin. May the almighty Father and His Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, continue to bless your ministry.

Laura P., United Kingdom

 

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.

Vicki DiNitto

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.
