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 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 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.

L. G., Oakland, MI, USA

 

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 29

Thank you for all of your work to correct misconceptions about God’s character. So many people that my husband and I have talked to seem to be against the natural law construct and view it as “errant” and “dangerous.” Having learned more about it through your blogs and lessons, I don’t really understand why they view it that way, except that it means they have to relearn theology they have known for their entire lives. But I’m so excited to relearn this. For the past few years I have been questioning how I could trust a God who punishes arbitrarily and is full of wrath for those who don’t obey His commands. That view made me afraid to “mess up” or “not be good enough,” even within my relationship with God. I really appreciated the point you bring out about God not wanting us to serve Him because we are afraid, but because we love Him.

Testimony 42

I am just writing to say that I have been so blessed by the teachings of Come And Reason Minitries recently. I watched last week’s bible study lesson on Youtube and am thankful that the error in the printed lesson guide you use was pointed out and this week’s study was of equal benefit, if not more so. My understanding of God’s nature has been very confused of late and I am so grateful for clarity in this matter. I have never really fully understood previously how a good God can cause bad things to happen and now I realise that He doesn’t, it’s a natural consequence of sin. May the almighty Father and His Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, continue to bless your ministry.

Laura P., United Kingdom

 

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 69

After reading your book, ‘Could It Be This Simple,’ someone was explaining Christianity in a way that made sense to me for the first time in my life. One morning, I simply prayed “I’m sorry and I love you.” As soon as I silently said that, I could literally feel God’s presence and light flood down on me from above and fill me up with love and joy. I sat there crying my eyes out, because I was so overpowered with this feeling of love and joy. It was just so incredible. I hope that more people can read this book and get a blessing from it. It’s really amazing.

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 64

I’ve been reading the bible and walking with Jesus since I was around 16. I’m 42 now. I’ve mostly been alone in my walk although I went to several churches in different denominations. For the past 3 years God has been showing me His character of agape. It’s been a blessing and changed how I view God and my walk with Jesus. About a year ago I came across the power of love and the principles of design law. These teachings changed how I read scripture and have been such a beautiful blessing. I’m very excited and grateful for these truths. We share these truths of agape, design law and the reality of the principles of the two trees in the garden of Eden with people on Facebook and YouTube. People all over are learning to trust God and His agape design law which makes life possible. Thank you for everything you shared with me. May God continue to bless your ministry and lives.

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 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.

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 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.

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 45

I have been confused for years about what [christianity] calls [its] most disgusting teaching. It has never made much sense to me and for that reason has been evermore empty. I have listened to your class off and on and have struggled determining what is truth, because of the resistance design law encounters in the church. So, I thank God for your ministry. What you teach makes sense. It’s logical and backed up by the power of love. I have never seen that in Christ until now. I am astounded by the insight that is found when we look at God’s ministry through design law. All strength to this message, as I believe it to be the power of God.
