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 22

I have found your Bible study class lectures to be very inspiring and useful as I prepare to teach class every other week. I subscribe to the podcast and download your notes on the weeks I teach. The audio and notes are such a great help in preparing. My own understanding of God’s character has grown as I teach the class. Commendations on the thought-provoking and well-prepared material Come and Reason provides. Personally, I get excited by the tie you make between the spiritual and mental/physical domains.

Testimony 70

I have been watching you for many years and have learned to love God with all my heart. I was raised by a loving Christian mother that had been lied to about who God really was, so our religious upbringing was hell fire and damnation. As soon as I was old enough and moved out, I not only left the church, I ran as fast as I could to get away from it. Sad to say, it wasn’t until the past couple of years that I learned and understand who my Father really is and how much He loves me. I understand God’s Design Laws (which make sense) and when I’m teaching my church Bible study class, I’m able to really put to use the things I’ve been learning and Holy Spirit is leading. Thank you for introducing me to my Father of true, pure love. Everyday with Him is new and exciting. One thing that breaks my heart is that I didn’t know Him sooner. God Bless you and your ministry!

Judy Phelps, Reno, NV, USA

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 74

Thank you so much for opening my eyes. I’ve been through a lot of ministries that just didn’t show the love of God that I felt he was. You have helped me to begin the process of true healing. I thought I was “too far gone,” now I know there’s hope in Jesus, because he loves us beyond what we can comprehend. Thank you again for all you do. I truly appreciate it and pray more people find you (physical at your studio and through this website).

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 58

I have been watching your videos in The Power of Love seminar and I must say these have liberated me and have improved my relationship with the Lord. I am no longer terrified of him as I was before following your teachings.

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 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 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 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.

T. C., IN, USA

 

Testimony 15

I have been sharing Come And Reason Ministries Bible study lessons with several folk. You have such a beautiful view of the plan of salvation. If we had this message preached when I was young, my generation would still all be in church.

H. R., New Zealand

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.

Dr. Roger D, Arlington, TX, USA

 

Testimony 39

[This ministry is the] biggest blessing I have ever received! Your DVDs and lessons could not have come at a better time in my life. I have experienced in the past year many difficulties that, if it wasn’t for this wonderful view of God that I have discovered through this ministry, I would not have been able to respond in love and forgiveness. My heart is being transformed everyday by the Calvary-looking God you teach. Hallelujah!! I have tears in my eyes as I write, because my life has taken a complete turn from where I was heading.

I am from Central America. Most of my family is scattered in different parts of the world and all have the same view of God that I had growing up; a distant, exacting, and ready-to-punish-us-with-tragedy type of God. So, I have been translating lessons for my family and, to my surprise, they have also been sharing them with others! I can already see the difference. My brother has often said, “Thank you for sharing, I have never heard it this way!” My other family members are taking an amazing turn from a message of “repent or burn” towards a loving God, pleading to us that we won’t reject him because he loves us eternally.

Bless you for all you do.

Sofia S., Ashfield, MA, USA

 

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!!

Tammy Cinzio, Australia

 

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!

Beverly S., South Africa
