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 61

I grew up in a prominent protestant church and had what I like to call religious anxiety. I’ve always had questions about God and Salvation that no one could seem to answer.  I didn’t know how to find resolution. During 2020, at the height of my anxiety, I fell to my knees and begged God to show me truth and light and to give me the hope that I’ve been longing for. Days later, I stumbled upon your online videos and it was like a veil was lifted and EVERYTHING made sense! For the first time in my almost 39 years of life, my religious/spiritual anxiety has lessened. I feel a sense of freedom and peace I’ve NEVER had before… and it’s all because my view of God has changed. Thank you!

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 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 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 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!

Testimony 33

I was invited over a friend’s house to see the “God and Your Brain” seminar today. I became [a christian] 36 years ago at the age of 19, but have struggled with the concept of God taking His ‘pound of flesh’ out on His Son to be appeased. Wow. Your seminar has been an incredible revelation and breath of reason and fresh air! I have your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” and it is SO eye opening. Finally, after 36 years enlightenment has come! Praise the Good Lord! What can I say, but that the Real Gospel is truly “Good News!” Thank you for your efforts in giving the Gospel a clear sound!

Paul C.,  Springfield, MA, USA

 

Testimony 23

I would just like to add my voice to the many people who, I believe, must have contacted you to express their appreciation for the “Healing the Mind” DVDs. I’ve been listening to your Bible study class discussions for many years and I’ve been personally blessed by your research and teaching about the character of God.

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 50

After coming into contact with Come And Reason Ministries, I can finally say that many of my unanswered questions have fallen into place. I discovered that my view of God’s Law was “imposed laws and rules” with “imposed punishments” and that this was the major culprit of my many unanswered questions. Thanks be to God for using you and those around you to help us who have struggled with this “infection” of thought. I have now rejected the “imposed law” concept to fully embrace “Design Law”… to look thru “Design Law,” instead of “imposed law,” is a relief.

Viliami L., Australia

 

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 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 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 25

I just want to say thank you so much for your conversations via YouTube. I regularly tune in to your lectures, “Let’s Talk” sessions, and many others. Through these I’ve found greater depth and meaning to God’s word. Thanks for all that you do and please continue. I’m currently working in the middle of Silicon Valley at Stanford University. I feel like God really has me in the right place right now and I’m sensing that your teachings might be part of it.

B. F., Silicon Valley, CA, USA

 

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 5

We listen to your bible studies lessons in our class in Montana. You actually were the main reason I decided to get a laptop, so I can go to your site and listen, read, learn, and print the class notes. I am so grateful to learn the correct view of God and his character. Now, to just have others have an interest in knowing, so I can share it with them. Good thoughts your way.

R. N., MT, USA
