The God-Shaped Brain

by Timothy R. Jennings, MD

Have you ever met someone who said they didn’t believe in God, and when you asked them to describe the god in whom they did not believe, you discovered you didn’t believe in that god either?

With so many different views of God being taught, the question arises, does our understanding of God make a difference, or is it enough to simply believe in God? Could our belief in God, if that belief is distorted in some way, actually cause injury, pain and suffering?

In this book Dr. Tim Jennings introduces you to the Integrative, Evidence-Based approach of understanding scripture. This method harmonizes scripture, science (including neuroscience), and experience. He presents the Great Controversy over God's character and contrasts the two views of law, documenting the impact each view has upon neuro-development, brain, mental, physical, and relationship health. He documents our view of hell, presents a complete atonement model explaining why Christ had to die, and answers questions, contrasting the various views about our origins, judgment, punishment, and God's wrath and identifies which one can heal any kind of person.

 

Ultimately, this book will make a compelling, evidenced-based case for a God of love and His methods of love that is easy to understand and brings to a practical level why it is so important to live in harmony with God and his design for life.

We believe. . .

  • > The Bible, as the inspired word of God, is a reliable and faithful revelation of God and His plan to heal and restore mankind from sin.
  • > God is love (1John 4:8). His character of love is the foundation of His government and the law of love is the principle upon which all life in the universe is designed to operate. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit exist in the plurality of perfect outward moving, other-centered giving, beneficence and love. The health and happiness of all creation is dependent upon harmony with God’s law of love.
  • > Sin at its core is selfishness the very opposite of God’s character of love.
  • > Sin originated with Satan and mankind believed Satan’s lies about God and rebelled against God and His law of love. Thus mankind became sinful/selfish and destined to die save God’s saving grace.
  • > Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Jesus, Himself being fully God, is the exact representation of the Father, the member of the Godhead through whom all things were made and equal in majesty, authority and divinity with the Father (John 14:9-11, Heb 1:1-3, Col 1:16).
  • > Jesus humbled Himself to be born of a virgin joining His divinity with our humanity in order to reach sinful man with God’s saving love and grace.
  • > He was tempted in every way just like we are yet lived a perfect sinless life and freely surrendered Himself to death triumphing over evil and sin (Heb 4:15).
  • > Christ rose from the dead and is in heaven directing all the agencies of heaven for our eternal salvation and the final defeat of evil forces.
  • > Every person saved is saved only through Jesus Christ and His victory for mankind.  
  • > The Holy Spirit is Christ’s representative on earth administering all the benefits achieved by Christ to those who trust in God.
  • > Christ will come again, literally, visibly, with His angels to bring His people to Himself, put a final end to sin and sinners and restore this universe back into the eternal harmony of love.
  • > In a literal, physical new heaven and new earth the home of the righteous.
  • > I in a literal, physical resurrection from the dead where those who died in a saving relationship with Christ along with the saved who are alive when He comes will exchange this sick, disease ridden body for a perfect, eternal body no longer subject to pain, suffering and death.
  • > That the time for Christ to come and redeem His saints is imminent.
