//I guess this is due to biblical illiteracy//Is that your go-to comment when people do not agree with your view?Jesus clearly said the KOG was “upon you” meaning “here, right now.”Your interpretation is strained at best.When we are dealing with the subject of hermanuetics is it not a first century view of what the kingdom of God was, as nobody mentioned my previous post I quote there understanding by quoting the war scroll or a link to it ,Verses such as the kingdom of God is within you I quoted the whole chapter The Jews were literally expecting a physical kingdom and there is so much mention of it in the old testament There is an invisible kingdom called the church at the moment which will have a physical kingdom I have so much weird theology on the kingdom of God, in some messianic circles they believe that there is a gospel of the kingdom and then there is the gospel. Jews are saved under the Gospel of the Kingdom whilst Christians are saved under the Gospel of Salvation. Then there is the whole the Kingdom of God which is within you, which uses some unusual techniques to try and get the kingdom within Then you have the seven mountain mandate/ Dominion which in tow says there are two gospels again a gospel of salvation and then a gospel of the kingdom ! One in which you have to influence people using the seven mountains. This is only three examples I could give you of all the weird and wacky theology that I have heard the Kingdom of God phraseology used. I have used it to directly unbiblical things ! I am doing Kingdom Things , it does not matter if it completely unbiblical. ------------------Marvin it was my actual previous postGod Bless I will answer your post as soon as I get back from work

In scripture we are commanded to test all thing !, What do you mean by the Kingdom of God Martyr as I have heard so many wild and wacky definitions through the years, should we have not have a basis in scripture, I did answer the question if you read my first post. 1 Thessalonians 516 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies. 21 Test all things; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.Blessing and Admonition23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify[g] you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.
