LAS GRANDES COSAS Y LAS PEQUEÑAS COSAS

LAS GRANDES COSAS Y LAS PEQUEÑAS COSAS

Considerando la verdad eterna de Dios, y las creencias que adoptamos, ¿ha notado que aún entre la gente que comparte la misma fe hay una cantidad de desacuerdos?

Estaba pensando en porqué esto sucede, y me di cuenta de que hay dos tipos de creencias que formamos: creencias sobre las grandes cosas y creencias sobre las pequeñas cosas.

Los problemas en nuestras relaciones – las divisiones en las iglesias, comunidades, y familias – con frecuencia pasan cuando asignamos la importancia de las cosas grandes a las creencias de las cosas pequeñas.

Las grandes creencias son la verdad de cómo funciona la realidad. Las creencias de las cosas  pequeñas son las ideas de trampolín que nos llevan a comprender la realidad.

Las grandes cosas están siempre conectadas a las operaciones de la vida. Las pequeñas cosas son herramientas que nos ayudan a aprender y a comprender a vivir las cosas grandes.

Las grandes cosas tienen un efecto en la salud y la felicidad. Las pequeñas cosas solo ilustran esos efectos.

Las grandes cosas causan resultados. Las pequeñas cosas no.

Abajo hay algunos ejemplos que contrastan las grandes cosas y las cosas pequeñas que la gente tiene como creencias. Considera que enfocarse en las cosas pequeñas usualmente causa división en nuestras familias, iglesias y comunidades.

 

Grandes cosas: vivir en armonía con las leyes naturales de Dios.

Pequeñas cosas: obedecer la lista de reglas religiosas.

 

Grandes cosas: el significado de la verdad contenido en las escrituras.

Es la verdad de las escrituras que sana nuestra mente y nos libera (Juan 8:32). Las palabras son la forma en la que se trasmite el significado, y las palabras sólo tienen valor en el nivel que puedan transmitir la verdad de Dios. por lo que reemplazamos las palabras en Hebreo y Griego con palabras en un lenguaje que la gente pueda comprender para que el significado (la verdad) de la escritura sea entendido.

Pequeñas cosas: las palabras contenidas en las escrituras.

Argumentar sobre si esta palabra o esa palabra en un texto en particular es correcta o         esta o esa versión es la “autorizada” – en vez de preguntarse si la verdad, el significado se manifiesta con claridad.

 

 Grandes cosas: dividir a la gente basándose en el carácter.

Honesto contra deshonesto, leal contra desleal, amable contra cruel, amoroso contra egoísta.

Pequeñas cosas: dividir a la gente basándose en la raza, tribu, lengua, origen, género, estatus económico.

 

Grandes cosas: ser bautizado por el Espíritu Santo.

Experimentando la inmersión del corazón y la mente en el poder limpiador de la presencia de Dios.

Pequeñas cosas: el método del bautismo ceremonial.       

 

Grandes cosas: ingerir en nuestra mente la verdad  de Jesús (su carne) y en nuestros corazones el amor/vida (la sangre) de Jesús (Juan 6: 53-58).

Pequeñas cosas: el método del servicio de la comunión ceremonial y la participación de hostias y jugo de uva.

 

Grandes cosas: vivir modestamente de una forma que represente a Jesús en nuestra vestimenta, comportamiento y acciones.                                                                                 

Pequeñas cosas: hacer una lista de reglas sobre la vestimenta  – joyas o sombreros, cuellos o bufandas religiosas.

 

Tristemente, demasiada gente se queda atrapada en las cosas pequeñas mientras ignoran las grandes cosas. Argumentan sobre ceremonias, rituales, metáforas, símbolos y varias herramientas de enseñanza que están diseñadas para guiarnos a la realidad del reino de Dios, pero nunca parecen aceptar y practicar las leyes naturales, los métodos de Dios en cómo se vive y se trata a las personas.

Les invito a abrazar y vivir en sus vidas las grandes cosas (la verdad eterna del reino de Dios) y a no discutir con la gente sobre las cosas pequeñas, pero deje a cada persona que esté convencida en su propia mente (Romanos 14:5).

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 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 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 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 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 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!

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 34

I was introduced to Come and Reason Ministries by accident, via a passing comment made in a bible study class we were visiting. I checked this website out and my life was changed. The understanding of the truth of God’s character, and how we apply it, is so right. The tricky part is consistently applying which “lens” to look through. As I began to understand, I started sharing the basics of this understanding with a discussion group I was leading and, suddenly, a lot of things started to make sense that never used to. At the same time, I enjoyed an amazing opportunity. I was able to conduct a full bible study at WORK! What an amazing experience! It is such a joy to share the truth about God and to share how it all fits in the war between God and Satan. So many people benefit when we have a correct understanding about how God works and who He really is! Thank you for this transformational understanding. Keep up the good work! God Bless 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 65

I have been tuning into your weekly study classes for a while now and wanted express my appreciation for the teachings that ha been a huge blessing in opening up the true message of the word. Viewing scripture under an imposed law theory always, without fail, raised more questions, concerns, and conflicting scripture interpretations that were discouraging at the very least. Looking at scripture through the design law lens has brought more truth to light for me personally and an understanding of our Heavenly Father that places Him “above all others,” where I am now more than thrilled to witness and serve Him.  I “stumbled” across this ministry a year or so ago and would only watch a few minutes at a time. But the more I listened and the longer I paid attention, the more my spiritual eyes were opened to the ever present truths of scripture. The comprehension of the great controversy and it’s origin by the lies perpetrated and perpetuated throughout the Bible on the attack of God’s character and government is truly priceless. Keep up the Good Work! Your servanthood is desperately needed in such a time as this!

Jeff D., Reading, MA, USA

 

Testimony 41

I have been blessed by your ministry. I have experienced personally, and deeply resonate with, the God of love and the beautiful picture of God’s character that you present. I have seen your seminar series on YouTube, read ‘The Journal of the Watcher’ book, used your mobile app, and also listen/study the bible study lesson with you each week. I concur with many of the thoughts and perspectives that you share. I understand your conclusions on natural laws vs imposed law and the legal/penal substitution (incorrect diagnosis). This makes perfect sense to me.

Bless you for all you do.

Testimony 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Emmanuel V., Calgary, AB Canada

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.

Helen D., London, England
