"Too many people -- some of them judges --
seem to think that freedom of speech means freedom from consequences for
what you have said. If you believe that, try insulting your boss when you
go to work tomorrow. Better yet, try insulting your spouse before going to
bed tonight."
Thomas Sowell -----------
What is the Kingdom of God?
EarsToHear.net: Challenging visitors, one on
one, as Christ said: (Luke 17:20-21)
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the Kingdom of God should
come, he answered them and said,
"The
Kingdom of God comes not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo
here! or, lo there! for, behold, the Kingdom of God is within you."
On EarsToHear.net new home page:
"Seek ye first the
Kingdom of God..." What is the Kingdom of God? What was the
Gospel of the Kingdom that both John the Baptist and Jesus preached? Jesus
said, "It is the Spirit that quickens, the flesh
profits nothing... " (John 6:63), challenging not only secular
wisdom, but Christian doctrines. Is there a God? Is Jesus the only way?
The question of evil. Why the Holy Spirit? Trinity of God and trinity of
man - in His image? Salvation, eternal life is
knowing God. Jesus called His followers to "shine their Light" and
become "the salt of the world," and bear the "fruit" of the Spirit. Are
Christians worthy of the "Great
Commission?" Are Christians worthy of His Kingdom?
"Every branch in me that does not bear fruit He
takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may
bring forth more fruit." (John
15) Will someone professing to be a Protestant or Catholic, have
Christ say: "I never
knew you, depart from me, you that work iniquity?" (Matthew
7:20-27) Your
Salvation is not in your Priest or Pastor. Although they are called to
preach the
Kingdom of God. He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
