Most of the religious folks I know believe in a "Kingdom" Of God which they are aspiring to reach one day after their lives here on earth are over.They seem to believe thathis Kingdom is a physical place off afar somewhere where God is sitting in judgement over all of us. Personally I believe that he Kingdom of God is already here located in the hearts and minds of all of us just awaiting our discovery.Im almost sure that the bible states that Jesus said this kingdom was here already. I would like to share with you a paragraph from the writings of Rocco Errico who is the president and founder of the Noohra Foundation in Smyrna Georgia.
Mr. Errico states "The term kingdom in Arabic is malkutha; its root mlkh means "to counsel,advise." Thus, the kingdom of God or heaven does not mean a place or an empire, but is actually God's sovereign counsel or reigning presence in and among the people. Jesus used the expression "kingdom of God" as a symbol that pointed to the great and joyful guidance of God directing people inot genuine justice and harmony. God's reign had arrived in the midst of violence and injusticies. Jesus' mission was to open the eyes of the people to this kingdom."

You come to that simple conclusion because you neglect the whole council of God and do not understand the things of God and His Kingdom.
thanks for telling me I dont know what Im talking about!
well, cap, I am not being crude. Its just that anyone with a grain of intelligence notices how you make assumption after assumption. Before you talk about things you don't know about, you should pick up the Bible and read it again. You are encouraging people to think like you, and you should get grounded in truth instead of flying away on some imagainary god like complex. If you want to explain the Bible, you should be reading from it instead of men who think like you. The Bible is understandable and objectins you have are easily refuted with a thorough study of it. You cannot possibley say that you know what Jesus was thinking. You can't even understand what he was saying. i say all this with love and concern, i have nothing to lose by what you think, but you have eternity to lose. step back, and give it another go from the start and search out the real truth.
You are so full of it! You dont know me or what I think or believe yet you continue to judge.That sounds kinda crude to me.
