Dlaczego prawo wymaga życia grzesznika?

Dlaczego prawo wymaga życia grzesznika?

Jak rozszyfrować tego rodzaju cytaty? Jak można to wyrazić innymi słowami?

„W Dniu Pojednania najwyższy kapłan … wchodził do miejsca najświętszego z krwią i kropił ubłagalnię, nad tablicami prawa Bożego. W ten sposób wymogi prawa, które żądało życia grzesznika, były zaspokojone.” (E.G. White, Patriarchowie i prorocy, r.30 {PP 260.4})

Podoba mi się sposób, w jaki Pan uczy i oczywiście ma Pan wszystko rozpracowane w swoim umyśle, ale ja wciąż nie mogę pojąć niektórych zagadnień… nie żebym nie zgadzał się z tymi naukami, ale nie potrafiłbym ich powtórzyć, bo nie mam jeszcze pełnego zrozumienia. Jak na przykład wytłumaczyć zagadnienie ‘zastępstwa’, mówiącego, że Jezus zajmuje nasze miejsce w czasie sądu? Zamówiłem Pana książkę i nie mogę się na nią doczekać!

Jestem Wam wdzięczny za Waszą działalność!

Cieszę się, że zamówił Pan moją książkę, która umożliwi Panu lepsze zrozumienie zastępstwa, oraz dlaczego Jezus musiał umrzeć. Ale jeśli chodzi o Pana konkretne pytanie…

Czytając takie cytaty, musimy wziąć pod uwagę fakt, że wspomniane tam ‘prawo’ nie jest rzymskim / dyktatorskim prawem narzuconym przez cesarza, ale protokołami naszego Stwórcy, na których zbudowane jest życie. Jest to Prawo Życia!

Dlaczego prawo, na którym zbudowane jest życie, miałoby wymagać życia grzesznika? Co jest tego przyczyną? Popatrzmy, co się działo w starotestamentowej służbie ofiarnej: symbolicznie objawiała ona proces przywracania grzesznika do jedności i harmonii z Bogiem.

Jeśli założymy, że prawo Boże nie różni się niczym od prawa narzuconego przez rzymskiego cesarza, wówczas będziemy postrzegać tego rodzaju wypowiedzi jako żądanie krwawej zapłaty do zaspokojenia gniewu i oburzenia obrażonego boga oraz uregulowania prawnej kary wymaganej przez złamane prawo. Wszystko to opiera się na kłamstwie na temat prawa Bożego.

Jeśli natomiast uznamy, że prawo Boże jest protokołem, który jest podwaliną zarówno życia jak i egzystencji całego wszechświata, oraz że „zrodzeni jesteśmy w nieprawości i poczęci w grzechu” (Psalm 51:5), czyli że jesteśmy w śmiertelnym stanie, to dlaczego prawo miałoby wymagać takiego nieuleczalnego, chorego, grzesznego życia grzesznika? W celu uzdrowienia, oczyszczenia, odnowienia, odtworzenia oraz przywrócenia grzesznika do praworządności! Rozważ następującą wypowiedź odnośnie tego, czego wymaga prawo:

Prawo wymaga praworządności – prawego życia, doskonałego charakteru; lecz człowiek tego nie posiada. Nie jest on w stanie wywiązać się ze świętych wymogów prawa Bożego. Lecz Chrystus, przychodząc na ziemię jako człowiek, prowadził święte życie i ukształtował w sobie doskonały charakter, które oferuje za darmo każdemu, kto zechce je przyjąć. Jego życie staje się naszym życiem. Dzięki dobroci Boga, wyzwoleni jesteśmy od popełnionych w przeszłości grzechów. Ponadto, Chrystus nasyca człowieka cechami Bożego charakteru. Buduje ludzki charakter na podobieństwo Boskiego charakteru – doskonałą tkaninę duchowej mocy i piękna. Istota sprawiedliwości prawa wypełnia się w wyznawcy Chrystusa. Bóg może więc być „sprawiedliwym i usprawiedliwiającym tego, który wierzy w Jezusa.” Rzymian 3,26 (E.G. White, Życie Jezusa, r.79 {ZJ 549.4}).

Czym można zaspokoić wymogi prawa? Prawną zapłatą, jeśli wierzysz, że prawo Boże jest narzuconym prawem (jak rzymskie prawo cesarskie); albo doskonałym życiem, jeśli uznasz, że prawo Boże jest protokołem projektowym – podwaliną całego życia we wszechświecie.

Tak więc, kiedy Jezus polecił nam, by jeść Jego ciało i pić Jego krew (Ew. Jana 6:53‑56), usiłował przez to wyjaśnić, że krew jest metaforą Jego doskonałego życia. Pokropienie arki krwią oznaczało, że ‘wymogi prawa zostały zaspokojone’, ponieważ pojawiła się doskonałość: doskonała harmonia z prawem, doskonały charakter, doskonałe życie Jezusa. Krew symbolizowała doskonały charakter Chrystusa, który jest teraz udziałem wierzącego.

Kiedy przyjmujemy Jezusa jako naszego Zbawiciela, nasze ‘ja’ umiera (1 Koryntian 15:31) i odnawiani jesteśmy przez Ducha Świętego (Rzymian 12:2, Tytus 3:5), więc „żyję, ale już nie ja, lecz żyje we mnie Chrystus” (Galacjan 2:20). Prawo zostaje zapisane w sercu i umyśle (Hebrajczyków 8:10) toteż nasze stare, schorowane życie ulega unicestwieniu i zastąpione jest życiem Chrystusowym.

Prawo wymagało naszego grzesznego życia, by zastąpić je sprawiedliwym życiem Chrystusa odtworzonym w nas przez wiarę. Chrystus jest naszym zastępcą, ponieważ wziął na siebie „nasze cierpienia”, „naszą boleść” – nasz stan chorobowy (Izajasz 53:4). Ten, „który nie znał grzechu, za nas grzechem został uczyniony, abyśmy w nim stali się sprawiedliwością Bożą” (2 Koryntian 5:21).

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.

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 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.

Testimony 22

I have found your Bible study class lectures to be very inspiring and useful as I prepare to teach class every other week. I subscribe to the podcast and download your notes on the weeks I teach. The audio and notes are such a great help in preparing. My own understanding of God’s character has grown as I teach the class. Commendations on the thought-provoking and well-prepared material Come and Reason provides. Personally, I get excited by the tie you make between the spiritual and mental/physical domains.

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 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!

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!

Ashleighn C.

 

Testimony 23

I would just like to add my voice to the many people who, I believe, must have contacted you to express their appreciation for the “Healing the Mind” DVDs. I’ve been listening to your Bible study class discussions for many years and I’ve been personally blessed by your research and teaching about the character of God.

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!

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.

Testimony 68

Your message of design law vs imperial law is so uplifting and makes so much sense- it is a game changer for me. The fact that Jesus’s death is not a big payment by an angry God is , quite frankly, a relief.

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 53

I was so blessed by a friend who gave me your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” while I was sitting in church asking God to please help me learn more about Him and help me not to be so confused and scared. That was about 2 years ago. Your books have helped me to love God even more. I’m not confused or scared anymore! I have listened to all of your bible study classes and feel like I know the wonderful people that attend every week. Thank you for all that you’re doing in spreading the true message about God and His law of love. God bless you and your whole class.

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
