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 63

I’ve been very blessed by “The God Shaped Brain” and this ministry, through video and podcast, over the last few years. It’s truly opened up my eyes more to the truth about God and the importance of that truth in the present world. The message is so inviting, freeing and enlightening and MORE people need to know about it. I believe it is the last message that can truly, not only prepare a people for salvation and translation, but vindicate the character of God.

Michael V., Yonkers, NY, USA

 

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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

Emmanuel V., Calgary, AB Canada

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 7

Ok, so last night I listened to “The Law of Liberty” and “How to Achieve Victory: Freedom, Truth and Spirtual Warfare.” These are both MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES so far! The logic is just soooooo beautiful. I had to re-listen to them a couple of times. I just want to EXPLODE! (<< we assume with joy and happiness)

N. B., Canada

 

Testimony 54

I had a lot of pressure, as a pastor’s kid, to conform and be “good.” I was good at being “good.” I thought my life was going along well until it all started falling apart and I could not figure out why! In my search for “why is this happening to me, God?” I came across your book, “Could it be this Simple,” and God started revealing to me the many distortions I held about His character, His principles, and how He has designed His universe to operate. I remember thinking, “Wow, I have had this all backwards.” I was happy and angry all at the same time. Happy to have the light of truth break through the darkness, revealing a wonderful, beautiful way of understanding God and His plan for His children, and angry, because I felt deceived and cheated by the church, my family, and myself!

My heart thrills when I listen to your bible study lessons. Literally I have gone from death to life. It is a journey I look forward to every day, as God reveals areas this distortion affects. Praise GOD! I will ever be grateful to God for this ministry and your cooperation with the Spirit!

Karen S., Portal, AZ, 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 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 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 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
