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 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!

Testimony 35

I am so pleased with the response your message is receiving at my church from the middle-aged to the young adults. I have given out 100 copies of the first two seminars and there are more request every week. One of my [class members] came to me after viewing the series, grateful and impressed with how easy the message was retained. He had been a Seventh-day Adventist in fear all his life, and felt like the scales were removed from his eyes after viewing the seminars. I am so impressed by the change I see in members who have received this message, we are in one accord. However, I am sadden by the negative response of the older people. I am verbally attacked anytime I talk about imposed laws, but I believe my mission is to enlightened everyone I can. I watch your Bible Study Class on YouTube every Friday night and I feel like I am apart of the class. All of you are in one accord and I am so blessed to have found you. I pray that all of you continue to spread this message and I am committed to doing my part.

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

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 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 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 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 72

I am blown away by the truth that you present. God’s Design Law makes so much sense! You have validated my impression that, if God is love, He would not kill those who don’t want to know him. If God gives us choice, then how can He destroy us if our choice is not to follow him. Thank you for opening my eyes and heart to the pure love of God seen through Jesus. The love I now have for Jesus is deeper and free from condemnation. My heart has been opened to love others as Jesus loves me. May God continue to bless your God-given insight into His word and your ministry. The truth has set me free!

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!

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 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 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.

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 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!

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!
