the Kingdom of God is the ruling government of God

[link to www.christcenteredmall.com]

In the simplest terms, the Kingdom of God is the rule of God. Thus, it can be said that wherever the Lord Jesus Christ reigns, there you have the Kingdom of God. This is true whether Jesus rules in an individual life or over a group of people.

God is a Spirit (John 4:24), and therefore His Kingdom exists in the spiritual realm — a realm which is presently invisible to our natural eyes. Someday, God's Kingdom will come in all its fullness, but it is now "at hand" for us to enter into by faith. God writes the laws of His Kingdom on our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33-34) and calls us to walk in obedience to His commandments. Through the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit, we can experience the reign of God in our daily lives.

It is the Spirit of God Who reveals the ways of God to the children of God (see John 14:26). The Bible says in I Corinthians 2:9-10, "But as it is written, 'Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.' But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." The rule and reign of God within the hearts of men, women, boys and girls is the reality of the Kingdom of God on earth!

yeah, that might be too out there for ol prof.

he likes his students with the two feet firmly planted

when jesus left he told us the spirit of truth will tell that which we needed to know to understand that which we could not know when jesus was here
now
your prof. must know and accept that what the spirit of truth told us and continues to tell us must be as jesus said it would be
new information. as in:
that which was not known 2000 years ago

does the prof. understand that?

Why does Matthew go on and on about the "kingdom of heaven" when Luke, Mark and John use the term "kingdom of God" in the exact same places?

In Matthew, there are 31 places where Jesus is quoted as saying "the kingdom of heaven is like..." or "kingdom of heaven" but it is never quoted like that in the other gospels. Luke, Mark and John all refer to the same quotes as "kingdom of God." There are 63 instances of the term "kingdom of God" in the other three gospels combined.

It is my understanding that both terms mean the exact same thing. But, why would Matthew use the word heaven and not God. Which word did Jesus actually say? I am leaning toward that Jesus used the word "God" as the other three apostles quote him in such a way.

I wonder if Matthew changed the word in order to not offend the je ws that he was speaking to, and the fact that the other apostles were speaking mostly to Gentiles?

But, Matthew uses the word God in other places, so that theory doesn't hold up.

It is clear that the "kingdom of heaven" and Heaven are not the same thing. This is clarified by many other scriptures collectively. The "kingdom of heaven" refers to the Millennial Kingdom, which is a term that I have yet to study and do not comprehend fully at this point.

I am sure the God haters and Christian bashers will come forward and troll the thread. I don't care, really. But, if some students of the word want to chime in and help me with this concept, it will help me to get through this next leg in my studies at seminary.

In the beginning, God created the separation between the waters and called it "heaven".

Waters are people. You are with the Light or you are not.

Jesus tells us the "kingdom of heaven" is like a tiny mustard seed that can become the tallest tree in the garden and it's branches get filled with the birds.

Well, in a prior parable about the farmer sowing the seeds, He tells you the "birds" that pick up the seed are the evil one.

So, now you see...the big trees attract evil. Hearkons back to King Nebuchazzar (sp?) in Babylon being a big tree that had to be cut down for pride. Trees represent people and nations.

So, He is telling us what it's like here on earth and how to overcome it. So to me, our goal is to understand how to make it through the kingdom of heaven and make it to the kingdom of God.

nice take on it.

i wonder if outer space (heaven)has a use for life in a future event? maybe all the souls will be dispersed throughout.

maybe the JW have something on that after all?

New estimate triples number of stars, to 300 sextillion

that`s interesting to me salt , utilizing our authorities number



are we saying that everywhere outside of earth is devoid of life unless humans take life to it?

Interesting thread.

KJV shows 32 verses ( 33 references) in Matthew as opposed to 31- do you know which verse accounts for the difference?

Also-

Where was Jesus when he said this?...

13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. (Joh 3)



?

this comes from the interview with Nicodemus, the Pharisee.

The point-

He states He is in heaven ( at the time He is speaking)


^^

i don't read that like that. to me, it reads as Jesus came from heaven and was on earth at the time of that interview.

from the same chapter:

To this John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven. 28You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ but am sent ahead of him.’ 29The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. 30He must become greater; I must become less.

31“The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all. 32He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. 33The man who has accepted it has certified that God is truthful. 34For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for Godk gives the Spirit without limit. 35The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands. 36Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him.”l
