    Understanding the Kingdom: Clearing Up the Most Misunderstood Teaching of Jesus

    How Literally Should Acts 1:10–11 and Acts 3:19–21 Be Understood? (Including Your View) Acts 1 and Acts 3 are two of the most commonly cited passages for a future, physical, visible, global return of Jesus. But when we slow down and read them in context — and especially when we compare them to...

    Understanding the Kingdom: Clearing Up the Most Misunderstood Teaching of Jesus

    .About the only thing I care about is people thinking for themselves and choosing not to hate others just because they differ from me. But I don’t put up with bullying, abuse, or harassment. I set boundaries because staying healthy matters.

    Understanding the Kingdom: Clearing Up the Most Misunderstood Teaching of Jesus

    Cool people can believe whatever they want it doesn’t matter to me in the end. Think for one self is what I say.

    Christ has already returned ?

    I don’t take any of this as hatred. Some people dislike what I teach, but that’s beside the point. We’re called to love, and if someone disagrees with me, that’s their choice. In the end, we’re all headed toward the same destination — death, resurrection, and standing before God. Some people...

    Christ has already returned ?

    Earth doesn’t always mean the whole earth it just means the land of that area. The kindreds there was the tribes. And the gentile and Jewish people who believed in Yeshua are rescued from the wrath of God. @David Lamb

    Christ has already returned ?

    You can believe however you want about it. I’m sharing with you how I see it. We are all gonna die eventually and meet with God and I believe also see Yeshua.

    Christ has already returned ?

    David, the part you’re missing is that Revelation 1:7 and Hebrews 9:28 are talking about two different responses to the same event. Revelation says “those who pierced Him” would see Him — that ties the judgment to the first‑century generation. They didn’t see a physical figure in the sky; they...

    Talking about that evil generation - that everyone says is for today.

    Christian Nationalism

    Nancy, I don’t think there was one single moment where everything changed. It wasn’t like the church flipped a switch — it was a slow drift over time. Any time people stop seeking God from the heart and start chasing influence, numbers, comfort, or political power, the church naturally starts...

    Christian Nationalism

    Riven, I get what you’re saying, but I don’t see it that way. Most people aren’t shrugging their shoulders or celebrating anything like that. A lot of folks just feel powerless or unsure what the right answer even is. Blaming “the whole” doesn’t really help anything or change hearts. People...

    Christian Nationalism

    That’s right, Taken. I agree with you. I think it’s perfectly fine to just let people be and let them invest their time in whatever they choose, as long as it’s not harming anyone. Everyone has their own passions, and that’s their business. I don’t feel the need to control what others care about.

    Christian Nationalism

    Mark, To me, God’s presence is in all people. Whether someone chooses to walk in relationship with Him is their own decision, but yes — I hear what you’re saying. I fully agree that a Buddhist, a Muslim, a Hindu, or anyone else who is genuinely seeking God from the heart is seen by God. Labels...

    Christian Nationalism

    I’m not really connecting it to Babylon or anything like that. I’m just talking from my own life and how I came to believe. I try to stay away from gossip, fear‑based stuff, or dramatic interpretations. I’m just sharing my perspective, nothing more. I honestly don’t care for most of the people...

    Christian Nationalism

    That’s basically what happened with Nebuchadnezzar. God brought him to ruin until he finally acknowledged that the Lord was real and that His authority was above every kingdom. Once he humbled himself, his sanity and position were restored. It’s a good reminder that even powerful people can be...

    Christian Nationalism

    I read some comment about how this one person in this congress or whatever somewhere wants people ot burn alive, but idk if that was a real post or an ai post. It wasn’t in America — it was some other country. I just wasn’t sure if the post was real or something AI‑generated. Either way, it...

    Christian Nationalism

    I don’t think there’s anything wrong with people going to their local councils and trying to change laws, as long as they do it the right way. I don’t believe God condemns anyone for being involved in politics. The problem is when people start dividing into groups and becoming hostile toward...

    Christian Nationalism

    All I know is that I do love the country I live in, and I’m thankful for the president. I also believe Romans 13 is right about letting the government handle its responsibilities, as long as it doesn’t interfere with a person’s ability to worship God. Back in the days of Nebuchadnezzar, they...
