That passage doesn't say that Hades is in the kingdom of God. Where are you seeing that there? It's not there or anywhere else in scripture.
The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

"Peace and safety" (proclaimed by unbelievers) is prompted by the death of the "two witnesses" (Rev 11:3-13). These two witnesses are subsequently caught up to heaven, whereupon an earthquake occurs (Rev 11:13), expressing the displeasure of God at how His witnesses were treated.

How did the rich man notice Abraham, and the others? Same place, different level of happiness. Hell is in the Kingdom of God, so is Heaven. Be careful.

That was Paradise in the old testament located in the earth, as spoken about in other areas of old testament scriptures. The Kingdom of Heaven is above after Christ's resurrection, taking His place at the right hand of God.

I am not in your description. I know the only Rapture is when Christ returns the destroy the earth. I'm born again from above by the Grace of God through the saving Faith of Jesus Christ. There is only one body of Christ, one Faith, and one baptism.
He was lying when he said, I come quickly. I get it. You claim to believe the Holy Bible.

Sola scriptura. Jesus said it and I believe it, and Jesus told me to read His words.

Because I understand both the physical and spiritual aspects of the Kingdom of God. How the Kingdom of God in this age of time is represented as the church/body/bride of Christ in this world, that has both good and evil physically together. And even though there are many who profess to be born again but are not, they are still part of the church/body/bride of Christ (KOG) while physically alive on this earth. They are those for whom Christ shall send His angels to cast out of His Kingdom when this age comes to its end. It's useless trying to show you anything from Scripture that goes against what you have been taught. Because anytime anyone biblically proves your doctrine is unbiblical you become very hostile and ugly, accusing others for what you are guilty of. It is you who is shown to be dishonest with the Scripture, and you who force contradiction and confusion upon the word of God, through your pride and arrogance.
Wrong. Only those who are born again are in the kingdom of God, according to Jesus (John 3:3-5). You need to listen to Jesus.
It doesn't say that at all. It says they have to been begun higher or up to see the kingdom of God. You are mistaken.

There is no physical aspect of the kingdom of God currently. It is heavenly in nature rather than worldly/earthly (John 18:36). It only consists of those who are spiritually born again, according to Jesus. You continue to insist on contradicting what Jesus said about the kingdom of God in John 3:3-5, to your shame.
You are again conflating the world with the kingdom of God as if they are the same. Not so. Only those who are born again are in the kingdom of God, as Jesus made clear in John 3:3-5. You apparently either don't have John 3:3-5 in your Bible or you just don't want to accept what Jesus said.
No, they are not! Show me any scripture which says this! You continue to make claims that you can't back up with scripture. I can't take that seriously.
You are not showing me anything except for your lack of spiritual discernment. Instead of seeing what Matthew 13:41 really means by looking at Matthew 13:49 which shows that it has to do with separating the wicked out from among those who are in the kingdom of God rather than taking the wicked out of the kingdom of God. As if the wicked are in the kingdom of God?! How can you believe such nonsense?
You have proven nothing. That is delusional.
Says the guy who made very hostile and ugly comments to me in one of your previous posts, such as "Are you really so foolish to ignore Christ's warnings pretending that only those who are born again are among the church/body/bride of Christ which is the manifestation of the Kingdom of God in this world? Surely you cannot be that clueless???". You are a hypocrite.
Your pride and arrogance is off the charts. You blatantly contradict what Jesus said in John 3:3-5 which is that no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born again. You, in contrast, have people entering the kingdom of God without being born again. You are the one who causes contradictions in scripture.

You are in over your head here. You are not able to make coherent arguments using scripture. You should step aside and let the adults speak here.
I said that it does, so do you think I'm going to change my mind one minute later? Have you actually read the passage?
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
This couldn't be more clear. Unless someone is born again, they cannot enter the kingdom of God. That is what Jesus said. How can you deny it? Do you just want to believe whatever you want to believe instead of what scripture says?
