THE KINGDOM IS WITHIN YOU

[Doug]

Who was Jesus speaking to? Are you sure they possess the kingdom?

This is what I said...........................Jesus said "the kingdom of God IS within you". Jesus said it IS within you, so they would already possess the kingdom, would they not? Why would the mother then be making request for her sons to be given positions in a coming kingdom......................I was arguing against the kingdom being possessed spiritually at that time

Goats on the left, sheep on the right.

This is the judgement of the nations when Christ sets up his kingdom..........it is not setting believers on his right or left on thrones

 

[Doug]

You need to study more. The Kingdom of God has leaven in it, remember?

The sons James and John are disciples of Jesus
When Jesus comes to establish the kingdom the wicked will be separated and cast into hell not his disciples

We can say our position in the heavenly kingdom is spiritual now, but what spiritual aspect did Israel have in regard to their earthly kingdom?

They had and still have the covenants and promises of god!
