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 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 50

After coming into contact with Come And Reason Ministries, I can finally say that many of my unanswered questions have fallen into place. I discovered that my view of God’s Law was “imposed laws and rules” with “imposed punishments” and that this was the major culprit of my many unanswered questions. Thanks be to God for using you and those around you to help us who have struggled with this “infection” of thought. I have now rejected the “imposed law” concept to fully embrace “Design Law”… to look thru “Design Law,” instead of “imposed law,” is a relief.

Viliami L., Australia

 

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 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!

Paul C.,  Springfield, MA, USA

 

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 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 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.”

Tom W., Mt. Pleasant, MI, USA

 

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 56

I cannot thank you enough for opening my understanding to the beautiful truth of God’s Law of Love and how it applies to everything. I have been a Christian for over forty years, but I feel like I am only now seeing with my eyes open. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

Tammy Cinzio, Australia

 

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!

A.M., Pittsburg, PA, USA

Testimony 39

[This ministry is the] biggest blessing I have ever received! Your DVDs and lessons could not have come at a better time in my life. I have experienced in the past year many difficulties that, if it wasn’t for this wonderful view of God that I have discovered through this ministry, I would not have been able to respond in love and forgiveness. My heart is being transformed everyday by the Calvary-looking God you teach. Hallelujah!! I have tears in my eyes as I write, because my life has taken a complete turn from where I was heading.

I am from Central America. Most of my family is scattered in different parts of the world and all have the same view of God that I had growing up; a distant, exacting, and ready-to-punish-us-with-tragedy type of God. So, I have been translating lessons for my family and, to my surprise, they have also been sharing them with others! I can already see the difference. My brother has often said, “Thank you for sharing, I have never heard it this way!” My other family members are taking an amazing turn from a message of “repent or burn” towards a loving God, pleading to us that we won’t reject him because he loves us eternally.

Bless you for all you do.

Sofia S., Ashfield, MA, USA

 

Testimony 14

We really appreciate your views on the judgment and they make good sense considering our free choice.

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.

C. F., NC, 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 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.
