ГОЛЕМИТЕ И МАЛКИТЕ НЕЩА

ГОЛЕМИТЕ И МАЛКИТЕ НЕЩА

Забелязали ли сте, че дори между хора с една и съща вяра често има много разногласия, по отношение на Бога, вечните истини и вярванията, които изповядват?

Докато си мислех защо се случва така, осъзнах, че има два основни вида убеждения, които си изграждаме: убеждения за големите неща и убеждения за малките неща.

И проблемите в нашите взаимоотношения – разделенията в църквите, общностите и семействата – често се появяват, когато придаваме твърде голяма важност на убежденията ни за малките неща.

Убежденията относно големите неща са основополагащи истини за това как функционира реалността. Убежденията за малките неща са насочващи идеи, които ни помагат да разберем как точно функционира реалността.

Убежденията за големите неща имат пряко въздействие върху начина, по който функционира животът. Убежденията за малките неща нямат такова влияние.

Убежденията за големите неща винаги са свързани с функциите на живота. Убежденията за малките неща са инструменти, които ни помагат да разберем и да се научим как да прилагаме убежденията си за големите неща.

Убежденията за големите неща имат пряко въздействие върху здравето и щастието. Убежденията за малките неща само илюстрират тези ефекти.

Убежденията за големите неща имат последствия. Убежденията за малките неща – не.

По-долу са дадени някои примери, които съпоставят големи и малки неща, за които хората имат убеждения, които се различават. Помислете как фокусирането върху малките неща често е в основата на разделението в нашите семейства, църкви и общности.

 

Голямо нещо: Живот в хармония с Божиите закони на дизайна четете блога

Малко нещо: Подчинение на списък с религиозни правила

Голямо нещо: Смисълът (истините), съдържащи се в Писанието
Истините в Писанието са тези, които изцеляват ума ни и ни правят свободни (Йоан 8:32). Думите са средство, чрез което се предава смисълът, а думите имат стойност само дотолкова, доколкото ефективно предават Божията истина. Затова заменяме еврейските и гръцките думи с думи на език, който хората могат да разберат, за да бъде разбран смисълът (истините) на Писанията.

Малко нещо: Думите, които съставляват Писанията четете блога
Да спорим дали тази или онази дума в даден текст е правилна или дали тази или онази версия е “най-точна” – вместо да се интересуваме дали истините, смисълът, се предават ясно.

Голямо нещо: Разделяне на хората въз основа на характера им  четете блога
Честен и нечестен, лоялен и нелоялен, милостив и жесток, любящ и егоистичен и т.н.

Малко нещо: Разделяне на хората по раса, племе, език, националност, пол, икономическо положение и т.н.

Голямо нещо: Кръщаване със Светия Дух четете блога
Преживяване на потапяне на сърцето и ума в пречистващата сила и присъствие на Бога.

Малко нещо: Методът на ритуалното кръщение


 Голямо нещо: Да приемем в ума си истината (плътта) на Исус и в сърцето си любовта/живота (кръвта) на Исус (Йоан 6:53-58) четете блога

Малко нещо: Методът на церемониалното причастие и приемането на безквасен хляб и   гроздов сок

 

Голямо нещо: Да живеем скромно, така че да представяме Исус с външността си, облеклото и действията си четете блога

Малко нещо: Съставяне на списък с правила за обличане – носене на религиозни шапки, яки или шалове, забрана за бижута, вид дрехи, игри

 

За съжаление твърде много хора се фокусират върху малките неща, като пренебрегват големите. Те спорят за церемонии, ритуали, метафори, символи и различните методи на обучение, които имат за цел да ни доведат до реалността на Божието царство, но изглежда никога не приемат и не практикуват  Божиите закони на дизайна в начина, по който живеят и се отнасят към другите.

Testimony 27

Your teachings about our heavenly Father have changed my life. Thank you sooooooo very very much! I know He’s doing some serious healing in my heart and life and I look forward to each new day to learn something new about Him and to just hear you speak about Him. Thank you, forever.

Testimony 46

Over the past couple of years God has been expanding my view of Himself and His character. Along my approximately 40-year journey, I have often had questions, but was hesitant to voice these and step outside the traditionally accepted thinking, for fear of admitting that I may in fact be eternally lost. In the recesses of my thinking has been the thought – if one blindly accepts (which is widely regarded as “real faith”) and does not question, is this really ‘truth?’ I often find it challenging to grapple with very theological ‘speak,’ but Dr. Jennings has a real gift of explaining spiritual concepts with clear practical examples. The weekly discussions are growing my Christian experience and slowly changing my view of how to live as a child of God in today’s complex world. Finally the whole Old Testament sanctuary teaching moved in my mind from fantasy to reality!

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 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 20

I just wanted to personally thank you for your teachings and insight into scripture. I came across your website via my cousin who suggested I look into “Healing the Mind” information. My youngest daughter has been struggling over the last couple of years and it all came to a head this spring. When I started listening to the “Healing the Mind” lectures my own life began to be transformed. I began sharing with all my daughters the concepts you laid out so clearly. I ordered your book and soaked it up. I just want to say “Thank You!” My walk with the Lord has been refreshed and renewed. Your obedience to the Lord is a blessing to so many.

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.”

Testimony 49

I came into the church at 21, but that is as far as it went. I was so confused about what love is. I couldn’t find it in the bible, because I am not a person that can read between the lines. I have no logic. I have read many, many books; trying to figure out the crux of the matter. They were helpful, but something was still missing. I have become very frustrated to the point of crying out to God, “Where can I go?”  I needed some basics.

I found two books, written by Timothy Jennings, MD, to be very helpful. God showed me that I had lived my whole life in fear. I didn’t even see it. Now, I do. God is so good.  I discovered the “The Remedy”  Dr. Jennings new book, “The God-Shaped Heart!” Oh, I was so excited, I purchased them right away.

I can get rid of most of my books, because “The Remedy” brings the Love of God out so clearly, even I can’t miss it. Now, I want to sit and read my Bible. Wow, what a revelation! It is just simply Awesome! I am so grateful to Jehovah Almighty for hearing my prayer for more understanding! I am so encouraged!

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!!

Testimony 37

Hearing Dr. Jennings’ presentations in person came at a pivotal moment in my spiritual journey that began about nine months ago, when the fault lines inherent in my belief system began to crack under questions that most reasonable people end up asking about God and His nature. These were questions I couldn’t find answers to, and they shook my faith. I was unable let it go any longer and be satisfied. My Christian experience became distant. I was afraid; the fear in me rose like thorns, pushing me away from Jesus. And then someone heard my questions and introduced me to this ministry, and my life has totally changed.

I can tell you that this new, “present truth” message is far grander and life-changing than when I shifted from being an agnostic and then a nominal Christian. It has radically altered my worldview, because it reveals a God that makes sense. It is a revolution. I believe that Dr. Jennings’ message is the final message that must go to the world. If any message could be called “righteousness by faith,” as abused as that term is by the right and the left, this is that message, because Jennings’ biblical message identifies a God who is different, whose character isn’t an impossible contradiction.

I walk this path now without fear. I see people differently, and the Holy Spirit burns in my heart. Many call Dr. Jennings’ message false and compromising, but it isn’t false, because I’ve seen the fruits within my mind and body. It is not compromising, because in this message is the only road to holiness that makes any sense. No longer do I behold a pagan god who is always angry and suspicious. Instead, I behold a God who is freeing and loving, always working for our good, and giving me every reason to love my enemy even to my own death, just as Jesus pleads with us. God is good.

Testimony 4

I’m a youth leader in South Africa. We as a youth group are currently using a lot of the material on the Come and Reason site. Since we’ve started using the material, our youth group has grown.

Testimony 38

Since November 2015, when I started studying Gods word from this God Is Love point of view, my life has been transformed. My troubled marriage of 15 years has been healed and my husband and I are truly happy for the first time in 15 years. Now When I read the word of God I understand it so much better and I can’t help but see Gods love radiating through the pages to humanity. Gods word is living and active and I am blessed beyond measure to be having this amazing experience. God has given me a beautiful understanding of Jn 3:16 that amazes me more and more each day. Thank you again for your ministry.

Testimony 6

I got the book “Could It Be This Simple?” a few months ago and the reading was wonderful and I was fascinated. I lent the book to a friend at work. She is having a difficult time and the book is helping her to find Jesus and I found this very exciting. She has asked me questions and I can see her life changing.

H. S., Australia

 

Testimony 13

I borrowed “Healing The Mind” DVDs from a friend and showed them at my home for a small gathering of women friends. Neither of my friends are Adventist, but they both enjoyed and embraced the messages you taught. In fact, one of the ladies prayed out loud in our group and that was the first time she had ever had public prayer.

Testimony 47

I can’t even begin to thank you and your ministry enough for introducing me to the Truth about a loving and merciful God! I have my daughter and her in-laws to thank for sharing with me “The God-Shaped Brain” as well as your website. I listen to the Bible study class lessons on my daily walk. May God continue to bless your thirst-quenching ministry!

Liz H., Port Angeles, WA, USA
