I have no doubt at all. I believe in God, the Creator of heaven and earth, with 100% certainly. I trusted Jesus well over thirty years ago and only once did doubt begin to arise, which only lasted a few seconds before I remembered how dramatically God had delivered me from the kingdom of...
No... it is a beautiful story that is depicting a spiritual truth. You can become the "light of the world" - if you leave the dark side :D
Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world.
Colossians1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of...
In the NT, the establishment of God's kingdom is to a certain extent identical with Jesus' coming, for His ministry opens with the announcement that the kingdom of God is at hand. Yet, if Jesus through His word and work established God's dominion on this earth, the fulness of that kingdom cannot...
hi pearl, the Kingdom is now, supportive scripture, Colossians 1:12 "Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:" Colossians1:13 "Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of...

I did not forget you. :) Thanks for being patient.
A little background on the true God - Jehovah:
Jehovah God loves righteousness and justice. Psalms 33:5
“I am Jehovah, the One exercising loving-kindness, justice and righteousness in the earth; for in these things I do take delight.”...
Yes, we are living in the Kingdom of the Son. Transferred to the kingdom of His beloved Son - Colossians1:13
So, since Pentecost Jesus is head of the Christian congregation and rescues from spiritual darkness.
Pentecost the start of the New covenant being now the center of 'spiritual Israel'...

I explained John 21:19-22, please re-read.
There are things like critical thinking, exegesis, hermenuetics, which help scrutinize whether one's current belief is valid as opposed to just what they have bought into. Hebrews 9:16-18 relates to the timing of the thief on the cross and when...
I am not sure how some of the verses you listed, such as John 21:19-22 or Hebrews 9:16-18 have any application to or support the necessity of baptism for salvation.
The churches I have attended teach the Bible expository style, meaning the pastor goes through one book, verse by verse, teaching...
christ is a multitude of people.
john 21:15
that word, sheep, is used no where else except in revelation in and relationship to christ as many.
the 144,000 should have been a clue with all having the name of the Father
many members one body
As Revelation 11:15,17 says the 'kingdom of the world' (world's corrupted governments) has become the 'Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ......'
So, this Kingdom (aka government - Daniel 2:44-45 ) is bigger or of greater proportions than the ' kingdom of the Son of his love ' as mentioned at...
Nice!...
Matthew 5:14 “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.
Colossians1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of...
It is fine and dandy to quote the false prophet Paul, the man of lawlessness, who says the law is nailed to the cross, but the "false prophet" Paul is dead, irrespective of what he had taught. Per Romans 7:18, Paul says, "I know that nothing good dwell in me" Romans 7:19, For the good that I...
no, I was not trained as a lawyer.... (smile). the OLD creation is the world we live in NOW, physically, even thou we're in the world but not part of it, for we're NEW CREATURES IN CHRIST JESUS. meaning we're spiritually in the Kingdom of God, if BORN AGAIN. supportive scripture, Colossians...
I found that throughout the Scriptures from the beginning to the end is all about Jesus Christ, the prophets spoke of His Coming, His Birth, His Life, Resurrection, Return and the New Heaven and Earth. Many were a foreshadowing of Christ like Melchizedek.
Every time I meditate on the Scriptures...
I believe the notion of being saved: meaning being Saved to the kingdom of God. (Colossians1:13-14).
Everyone has been saved from their sins now in this life; but not everyone has come to the knowledge of the truth about the Lord Jesus Christ, and what He had done when it comes to paying for...
