Ya, it's talking about loving “one another,” and saying by this, loving “one another” all will know that you are my disciples, by the “love for one another.” This loving one another would be a witness to the world, as you put it, that we are, as Jesus says, his “disciples.”While Jesus showed that there would be those claiming to be his followers,…[Read more]

The kingdom is a government created for a purpose. It is made up of the holy ones as well as Jesus. Jesus recieved it from his father. I know Romans 3:23 too Nick.I've already said that no one is sinless. Yet, Jehovah's words cannot be nullified: “You must be holy, because I am holy.”1 PETER 1:15-16“but, in accord with the Holy One who c…[Read more]

Yes, I've already quoted 1 pet 2:9.Expressions like “priesthood,” “nation,” “a people,” would seem to indicate that they would be organized in some way.”God has a people who are called, chosen and equiped by him,” you said.I feel very strongly that God does have a people. But how would they be distinguishable from others claiming to follow God,…[Read more]

You should be interested in religion. Revelation says that Babylon the Great, the world empire of false religion will be done away with. We're told to get out of her. The religions of the world, the worldly religions, under Satan's influence will soon be brought to an end. This is part of the Bible, and therefore of interest. If you're not…[Read more]

That was frightening how true those words were. I agree with everything you just said in the last few posts.So, I'm just going to write this in large letters so I can find it later easier.NICK SAID:*GOD HAS A PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED, CHOSEN AND EQUIPPED BY HIM.*david.

Right, so the kingdom of God isn't in people, but as All 4 scriptures you just quoted, “Christ” is.Christ is Different than “kingdom”Jesus is not the kingdom that we pray for.If memory serves me, we are talking about the kingdom of God, not Jesus.Yes, those scriptures were written for the holy ones, the ones that would receive the kingdom. That's…[Read more]

right, scripture doesn't say specifically that he was the lowliest of mankind, but we are told that he was humble, mild-tempered, lowly in heart. He, a king, the Son of God, arrived on an ass. He emptied himself, humbled himself.He being perfect, sinless, how could anyone be more humble?We are to imitate him.It seems this scripture refers to…[Read more]

“That people living may know that the Most High is Ruler in the kingdom of mankind and that to the one whom he wants to, he gives it and he sets up over it even the lowliest one of mankind.”—Daniel 4:17.The scriptures indicate that Jesus would be ruling over this kingdom. Here, we're told that the one set up over it would be “the lowliest one o…[Read more]

Fist off, it's irritating that the first post on the page doesn't appear until the second one is down.Also, GALATIANS 3:19“Why, then, the Law? It was added to make transgressions manifest, until the seed should arrive to whom the promise had been made; and it was transmitted through angels by the hand of a mediator.”GALATIANS 5:25“If we are livin…[Read more]

RIGHT NOW, I'M JUST LOOKING AT SOME SCRIPTURES THAT REFER TO THE HOLY ONES, AND THEIR ROLE.1 CORINTHIANS 6:2“Or do YOU not know that the holy ones will judge the world?”EPHESIANS 1:18“the eyes of YOUR heart having been enlightened, that YOU may know what is the hope to which he called YOU, what the glorious riches are which he holds as an inh…[Read more]

hmmm. Much of what you say makes this “kingdom” seem like a government run by a king, Jesus.HANDS OVER THE KINGDOM“Next, the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power. For he must rule as king until God has put all enemies under his feet. As the last e…[Read more]

Right, so Nick agrees. GOD HAS A PEOPLE, and has had a people in the past, as the scriptures above show.I know this isn't a point you were really trying to make, when you said: “It matters not that we know of him but that he knows us.”However, as a point of clarity, it means our life that we “know of him.” (John 17:3)Any father wants his children…[Read more]

Nick HassenDoes He believe the truth?orNick HassenIs he the only one who knows the truth?I would never start a topic like that. It seems mean. But I couldn't help but feel as though I was being attacked when a similar topic was started and with such speed. I'm sorry. I've been holding those negative feelings in ever since it appeared. I don't…[Read more]

ZECHARIAH 8:23“. . . .We will go with YOU people, for we have heard God is with YOU people.”’””Jehovah was offering them something…..IF they listened to him.DEUTERONOMY 28:1 ““And it must occur that IF you will without fail listen to the voice of Jehovah your God by being careful to do all his commandments that I am commanding you today, Jehova…[Read more]

I don't know what your answer is. You refuse to answer yes or no questions. I just wanted you to state whether there has ever been a religion (or 'form of worship' since religion is a made up word to you) that was true.But, you seem unwilling or afraid to state that the first Christians had a religion even, much less that it was true.Apparently,…[Read more]

Just a scripture that I found that mentions loving God's name, and the fact that God requires something of us.HEBREWS 6:10“For God is not unrighteous so as to forget YOUR work and the love YOU showed for his name, in that YOU have ministered to the holy ones and continue ministering.”

Why do you say it's something within us?

So you're saying Nick, that the kingdom is “within us” and “among us.”It's also something we “enter.”That last thing you said, Jesus submitting the Kingdom to his Father; what exactly is it he is submitting?

So you're answer would be….

Nick,It is wiser to check your own status before God before judging any others. Make sure you are secure in Jesus and then you really will have a message to bring others.
