The kingdom of God is the new order and government to be introduced on earth when Jesus himself returns, and in which Christians are destined to manage the world with him (Dan. 2:44; 7:14, 18, 22, 27; Lk. 19:11ff; 21:31; Rev. 11:15-18, etc. The world is being mismanaged in this age. A better...

* I still wouldn’t mess with him though. Upside down helmet makes him look even scarier. *

* Speaking as a retired civil engineer who worked on many construction projects, this is a nightmare. This is the contractor’s fault - or I’m flipping burgers at McDonald’s for minimum wage. *

That’s a good question. Paul said that after his death wolves - not literal wolves; false teachers and preachers - would savage the flock - not literal sheep; people in the congregations. It was already happening, even in Paul’s day. He knew it was only going to get worse once he was out of the...

Resurrection is future. No follower of Jesus has been resurrected from the dead yet. The cemeteries where their graves are located aren’t empty yet. They will be, when Jesus himself returns. The first death which everyone is appointed to suffer. Remain. Continue what he was doing. Depart...

NDE isn’t DE. The resurrected Jesus is physical, not a disembodied spirit. See post #176. That’s the hurdle that you haven’t cleared.

Paul knew exactly when he would be with Jesus. The same time everyone else who belongs to Jesus when he himself returns. Bodily resurrection is the moment when we will rise from the grave (or be changed in an instant, if still alive when he returns) to meet him in the air and accompany him the...

I’ve already done that. I was raised Southern Baptist. I was certain that when I died I would fly away as a disembodied spirit, free at least from the body. I was steeped in Greek philosophy. Not for quality. Every message conveys data. There is no “spook house” in the sky and the...

The worst they can do is kill me. (When I was an immature teenager, my buddies and I would amuse ourselves by saying, “They can kill us but they can’t eat us. That wouldn’t be civilized!”) Eight souls, which is to say, eight persons, were saved in the days of Noah. Everyone else, all of the...

Scripture is the highest form of data to me. The rulers of the coming kingdom of God will be physical.

So the “my belief” you spoke about in post #1 isn’t a fact? That’s being tested right now on the forum by my friend @Pancho Frijoles. I invite you to see my thread titled The “Return” of Christ: What Does it Mean? It’s not going well for the Christians. An astute observation. Just as the...

In scripture. Just like in the days of Noah … Only Jesus himself coming back will accomplish the establishment of the kingdom of God on the earth … a physical place, not a non-physical “spook house”. A real, physical, government; managing the nations.

Now show the coming collapse that scripture talks about. Apparently Baha’i belief is that this age is going to get better and better. Scripture paints a different picture - man waxing worse and worse. The world is headed for a major disaster on a global scale. If Jesus himself doesn’t return...

Whether or not Jesus stands in your place, you’re going to die. It’s only a matter of time. It’s as certain as the sun rising in the East and setting in the West. If Jesus stands in your place, you’re not going to die the second death. There is recovery from the first death. Resurrection...
