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 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 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!

Testimony 18

The Healing the Mind DVD set tarted me on a journey that has changed my relationship with our loving God more significantly than any other study, and brought me to your book and Bible study podcasts, which I now listen to daily, thanks to the availability of archived content on your site and on iTunes.

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 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 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 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 67

I was introduced to Come And Reason by a friend of my mother-in-law, who gave me several CD’s of Dr. Jennings. The clarity of the message and recognition that God’s is a God of love was so clear, advancing beyond Dr. Maxwell’s message. However, grappled with Maxwell saying God used emergency measures for the fallen world. Now after several years of being a regular listener of the Come And Reasoning bible study class and attending Jennings’ meetings in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, things are becoming clearer for me. Design law versus imposed law has added so much to my personal understanding of theology. This message has really impacted my work in counseling so many people miserable because they are searching for and trusting human governments to create order and peace or believing in a God who says love Me or I will kill you. I am grateful that I have an alternative view to offer my clients that makes sense. I teach a bible study class on a semi-regular basis and I value the materials that Come And Reason so freely offers to aid me in presenting this vital message. Thank you for continuing to provide advancement in our very limited understanding of a Infinite God that is rational and believable.

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 63

I’ve been very blessed by “The God Shaped Brain” and this ministry, through video and podcast, over the last few years. It’s truly opened up my eyes more to the truth about God and the importance of that truth in the present world. The message is so inviting, freeing and enlightening and MORE people need to know about it. I believe it is the last message that can truly, not only prepare a people for salvation and translation, but vindicate the character of God.

Testimony 59

I’m a native Ghanan, but am currently in France for my master’s degree. Prior to this, during my final years at undergraduate studies in Ghana, I was introduced to your ministry and I’ve been immensely blessed by what you share, especially about the Design and Imposed Laws. God richly bless you for that.

One of the first things I did when I arrived in France was to buy all four of your books. They not only helped me, but those I shared them with. I shared the message with an atheist student and I marveled at how God worked mightily in his life. Today this person shares the Love of God with others and debunks theories of who God is not. I want to share what you present in your “Heavenly Sanctuary and Investigative Judgment” pamphlet, because the message brought rest to my soul and I live today as a healthy person.

God bless you so much and your ministry.

Michael A., Ghana

 

Testimony 2

I continue to enjoy your lessons every week. The more that I research your conclusions, the more I am convinced that the Holy Spirit has lead you to distill out the essence of human redemption. Thank you for your courageous stand for the truth.

S. G., TX, USA

 

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 16

Your seminars are still inspiring and changing our lives and we continue to share the principles we have learned from you. Your ministry has changed our lives!

Testimony 28

I have been following your Bible study class for about a year now. I must say I am impressed with how your ministry has grown. I took it upon myself to listen to all your lesson podcasts from the past and they have both enriched me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I have learnt a lot from this class. I have also noticed how the class has grown in spiritual strength. One of the things that benefited me is that now I am not afraid of God. I use to be, but now it has melted away. The second thing is that you helped me to have a real life relationship with God. Now He is my friend that was always there and I love having him with me all the time. Thirdly, because of this class, it inspired me to take over and lead a class. I have called it “Let Us Reason Together,” adapting your inquisitive style and creating a class of free thinkers.
