WAT BETEKEN DIT OM SKULDIG TE WEES AAN DIE OORTREDING VAN DIE HELE WET VAN GOD?

WAT BETEKEN DIT OM SKULDIG TE WEES AAN DIE OORTREDING VAN DIE HELE WET VAN GOD?

Die Bybel sê vir ons:

Want elkeen wat die hele wet onderhou en tog op een punt struikel, is skuldig daaraan dat hy dit alles verbreek (Jakobus 2:10 NIV 84).

Ek het verskeie argumente gehoor wat oor hierdie gedeelte gemaak word wat fokus op ons gedrag, ‘n reëlgeoriënteerde benadering, die identifisering van verskeie “wette” van God en beweer dat as ons een reël nie hou nie, beteken dit dat ons skuldig is aan die oortreding van al die wette. Maar die enigste manier waarop Jakobus se beskrywing waar kan wees, is as ons verstaan dat God se wet ontwerpwet is en die idee verwerp dat God se wet funksioneer soos menslike wet, opgelegde reëls wat wetlike toesig en straf vereis.

As ons dink dat God se wet oplegde reëls is, dan is dit wat Jakobus geskryf het nie waar nie. Dit is nie waar dat iemand wat met hul belasting verneuk, ook skuldig is aan kindermolestering nie. Dit is nie waar dat wanneer iemand owerspel pleeg, hulle ook skuldig is aan moord of dwelmverkope aan kinders nie.

Sal jy die verklaring as waar aanvaar dat jy skuldig is aan verkragting omdat jy jou humeur verloor het en jou naaste vervloek het? Nee! Jy sou sê, “Nee, ek is nie skuldig nie!”

In plaas daarvan, Jakobus se stelling dat die oortreding van een punt van die wet ‘n mens skuldig maak aan die oortreding van al die wette, is slegs waar wanneer ons besef dat God se wet ontwerpwet is, die wet van liefde wat in die werklikheid ingebou is. Dit maak nie saak hoe ons selfsugtig is nie; enige vorm van anti-liefde, anti-waarheid, anti-geregtigheid is ‘n oortreding van die wet.

  • As ons valse getuienis teen ons naaste aflê, het ons nie lief nie.
  • As ons ons ouers oneer aandoen, het ons nie lief nie.
  • As ons egbreuk pleeg, het ons nie lief nie.
  • As ons moord pleeg, versuim ons om lief te hê.
  • As ons steel, versuim ons om lief te hê.
  • As ons begeer, versuim ons om lief te hê.
  • As ons ander gode het, kan ons nie liefhê nie.
  • As ons God se naam aanneem, onsself Christen noem, maar Hom verkeerd voorstel deur te leer dat Hy ‘n keiserlike diktator en bron van die dood is, versuim ons om lief te hê.
  • As ons valse beelde van God vind wat ons geneentheid waardig is, versuim ons om lief te hê.
  • As ons nie die Sabbat gedenk nie en daarom nie die waarheid wat dit aan ons openbaar aanhang en toepas nie, versuim ons om lief te hê.

Versuim om lief te hê is die oortreding van God se wet; die Tien Gebooie is bygevoeg omdat die gevalle mensdom dit benodig het, om te help om onder ons aandag te bring dat ons natuurlike harte en verstand nie liefhet nie. Daarom moet ons wedergebore word met ‘n nuwe hart en regte gees wat God en ander liefhet, en dit is presies wat Jakobus beskryf het:

As jy werklik die koninklike wet onderhou wat in die Skrif gevind word, “Wees lief vir jou naaste soos jouself,” doen jy reg. … Want elkeen wat die hele wet onderhou en tog net op een punt struikel, is skuldig aan die oortreding daarvan (Jakobus 2:8, 10 NIV 84).

Ek nooi jou uit om die opgelegde wetsleuens oor God en sy regering te verwerp en terug te keer na die aanbidding van Hom as ons Skepper, die een wat die werklikheid gebou het, die Een wat liefde is, en Wie se wette die ontwerpprotokolle van liefde is waarop die struktuur van die kosmos werk.

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 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 6

I got the book “Could It Be This Simple?” a few months ago and the reading was wonderful and I was fascinated. I lent the book to a friend at work. She is having a difficult time and the book is helping her to find Jesus and I found this very exciting. She has asked me questions and I can see her life changing.

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.

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 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 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 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.

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 38

Since November 2015, when I started studying Gods word from this God Is Love point of view, my life has been transformed. My troubled marriage of 15 years has been healed and my husband and I are truly happy for the first time in 15 years. Now When I read the word of God I understand it so much better and I can’t help but see Gods love radiating through the pages to humanity. Gods word is living and active and I am blessed beyond measure to be having this amazing experience. God has given me a beautiful understanding of Jn 3:16 that amazes me more and more each day. Thank you again for your ministry.

Helen D., London, England

 

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.

Testimony 12

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

K.C., OH, USA

 

Testimony 15

I have been sharing Come And Reason Ministries Bible study lessons with several folk. You have such a beautiful view of the plan of salvation. If we had this message preached when I was young, my generation would still all be in church.

H. R., New Zealand

Testimony 13

I borrowed “Healing The Mind” DVDs from a friend and showed them at my home for a small gathering of women friends. Neither of my friends are Adventist, but they both enjoyed and embraced the messages you taught. In fact, one of the ladies prayed out loud in our group and that was the first time she had ever had public prayer.
