It's not the physical heart that contains the kingdom, although it sort of corresponds to the physical area. The heavens are not the physical sky above our bodies. Do you ever see God up there? I see clouds, stars, blue sky, the sun, the moon. Not that I actually know, but this is something for you to think about. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 46886278 If it is a seed within in us, why did Jesus ask for Gods Kingdom to come? Could it be that the Kingdom is something much more significant? Ifyou notice in the Our Father it would seemthe two are linked..the Kingdom of God.. Thy Kingdom come and Gods Will Thy willbe done so the seed is within us..but it is the surrender to God´s Will..the becoming one with God´s Will that makes the Kingdommanifest While man continues his own road trying to sort things out himself..with his means..and according to his will..it wont manifest it takes humilty to surrender to God Trust Faith and LOVE |

That seed are those who will because of that seed being present will suvive the fire storm yet to come. THing of Venus in its current state.. no human can survive on Venus... in fact the surface of Venus currently is very much like the literal of the lake of fire... only spirit can survive that sort of event... but that event is not going forever, only its transision time of flux... at the end of that time, those who are spirit well bring a new world to the planet Earth, a much different Planet Earth at that. Thing of the aspects and effects of a solar Nova where for a short time of days or months the surface temperatures and evne a half mile down, will have temperatures that are in the 350F to 850F range. Who would survive it, who of flesh? This is the real warning of the Bible.. that that time is coming... in that the World shall perish by fire. Even modern science 'sees' a time when the Earth will at least be licked by a solar Nova.. and some of them say it would be a Super Nova tht vaporizes the planet.. but these place it yet ahead some billions of years in the future. Yet, they do not know really when such a thing will happen. All the same the warning is out there.. Byt as to the Kingdom, it is such that each and every one would in fact feed the hungry, help the poor, heal the sick, house the homeless... every man doing it for every other man... and that day is not yet.. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8852788 It is righteousness, peace, and joy. That then is the Psychological Kingdom, or the Psychic Kingdom, that of the soul and not of the flesh. The Sermon on the Mount was a lesson and even a series of commandments given to His followers, that were in fact both of the Soul but also of the Flesh,.. feed the hungry, help the poor, shelther the homeless, cloth the naked, heal the sick .. all without the use of Money and such Economies... But rather based upon the workings of the holy Spirit within each of the followers of Jesus... just look at the benefits of that holy SPirit in manifestation within each follower.. as seen in the light of Pauls treatise of 1 Cor 12-14.. especially 1st Cor 12:7-10.. consider the benefits indicated there in the light of how to keep the commandments given by Jesus on that Mountain of Sermon. |

Why do you think the word "kingdom" is used, instead of something like "state of being"? Do you agree that it's rather confusing? There are several different realms, that of the Physical or Matter realm, there is the realm of the Soul, there is the realm of the Spirit.. each of these could be seen to have a form of Rulership, hence a King .. each Realm being deemed as a Kingdom.. teh King's Domain.. that space-time location in wich that King has rule.. His Kingdom is not of This World.. the world the he was IN at that time speaking.. the World of Elite Fallen Men ruling over all of mankind in the flesh, in the physcial kingdom.. The sword of the spirit is not a physical sword.. not even a psychological sword, but rather a spiritual sword. .not even a mental sword.. some would say in modern terms there is that kingdom of the abiotic, the kindgom of the biotic, and the kingdom of the noetic. Kingdoms are more than merely territories of physical land and sea.. A King can rule a people that are scattered around the planet's land.. and mixed int with other peoples.and still be a king with a People... Unfortuantely teh Anglo-Saxon English predominate usage has subverted and re-colored much of what once understood as to Kings and their Peoples.. |

No that God and Jesus , they got all that worked out. After this day I have no doubt. I have cried/laughed and again the same today as it began to really sink in, I knew it all along yet thought the good guys the bad guys, false flags all that. I sought this fellow out, and man has He got game. Brilliant, Bravo, excellent, I shall perhaps still be applauding as they lay me under, so impressive the show has been. You dont know how many nights I laid in bed begging god to let my children live, to take me in their stead, then all of you. I cant even count the years any longer how much time I have spent on this in an attempt to seek this one out, to know. running here, there, never really knowing anything until I said or wrote it myself. many times the wrong thing. To know, to be convinced they not perish, and it be me, that a price I gladly pay. Thank you God! |
