    Which sentence from the bible have you read?

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    Repent from your religious posturing. Have you read the bible yet?

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    More brilliance here :( o_O So then dogmatically, we can add to your beliefs. "Catholics bad. Protestants good." A lot of discernment there. But you don't realize that by judging others with that dogmatic mind...you condemn yourself. :ummm::rolleyes::ummm:

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    You have been a beginner for so long, you think the only growth possible in a believer must be cancer. So then you are missing the whole purpose of being a Christian. God is NOT dogmatic...people are. The Pharisees were like that. You are like that. Judging from yourself and a lack of depth...a...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    AI? Disingenuous? The irony doesn't stop. Speaking of Ai...the limit of understanding shown by some could be programmed into a very simple program...AI not even required. All you would have to write in are two requirements...human religious ideology 101. It would read as... 1. Believe in...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    We get into trouble when we try relating deeper spiritual things to things we already know and understand. So then we can think we understand the biblical text...whereby we limit what is written to our own experiences. But the bible is not as shallow as we are...neither is it limited to what we...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    Hello and greetings. :) Do you mean we need to want a different world...the kingdom realm of the Spirit? Don't mind the nursery antics on the thread. Some people do want to grow beyond the baby stage despite what some posters insist on. ;) "The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    There is indeed a dire need for babies to be breast-fed. Maybe more milk is needed for babies to stop crying?

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    We are preserved by hope. This is not to be confused with wishful thinking. A biblical hope is a living hope...not a dead presumption. Biblical faith knows God...it isn't a human belief based on a religious opinion that lines up perfectly with a self-preservation. But this is beyond the ability...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    This is a strawman. Hope is for a future inheritance. Faith is what we live by now. We enter into the kingdom realm by faith not by hope. We inherit by hope. Without FAITH it is impossible to please God. It doesn't say without hope. But people don't enter in because they lack faith. Unbelief...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    O, the irony.

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    How can you seek for something that you have no access to now? You have to think this through. God wants us to seek for His kingdom right NOW so we can bear an eternal fruit...right now. To make the kingdom a future only event is to MISS THE GOSPEL. Do we follow Christ only after we die? Do we...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    Do you think that we are to seek God first for the kingdom of God by our imagination? It would seem that many also do that very thing with the "His righteousness" part. Why would Jesus tell us to seek what we can only imagine? That is ...until we actually seek the Lord. Being translated in the...

    Pressing into the Kingdom

    I wouldn't call turning away from the ways of the world rebellious. It's downright revolutionary! ;)

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    In the parable of the Sower... Are we the Sower? Are we the seed? Are we the soil into which the seed falls?

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    Being born of imperishable seed is speaking to the quality of the seed...not the quality of the soil that receives it. An imperishable seed doesn't necessarily produce imperishable fruit.

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    Without Christ we can do nothing of eternal value. Without the empowerment of the Spirit we can think we are doing something that has eternal worth...but we can very easily be building with perishable materials that will burn away when all is revealed. The human mind provides seemingly endless...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    A person who walks IN Christ is not walking in the throne room of God. The Father is over the Son. The Head of Christ is God just as the Head of every man is Christ. The realm that we are called into...that we are given ACCESS to, through the gospel, is Zion...the kingdom realm of the Spirit...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    Hey RJ....I'm never looking for a fight. :) Just the truth. Grace is portrayed in many religious circles as God's tolerance for sin. But the grace of God is the POWER given to us through faith to walk as Jesus walked. It is a holy power...to commune with God. It fills us with love, joy and...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    Actually no. It is where Christ is. We are to go to the throne for grace...for grace to walk in the kingdom realm...in Zion, in Christ. God dwells with His people there but His throne is OVER all creation. Even over heaven. Paul calls this "the third heaven." hashamayim veshamey hashamayim (...
